In ancient times, due to underdeveloped science and technology, people believed in Feng Shui. As a result, some rural sayings about Feng Shui have been passed down, such as "If you are poor, don't move, and if you are rich, don't move your grave", and "Ten times you move your grave, nine times you will fail", etc. But no matter what, our ancestors were able to look forward to living a prosperous life without being trapped by poverty.
And this rural proverb, "Don't move graves, nine times out of ten you will be defeated" is naturally also what the older generation pays attention to when moving graves. So, does this proverb make sense?
The meaning of the saying "Never move a grave, nine times out of ten you will fail":
The ancestors believed that once a grave was installed, it should not be moved easily, let alone moved. grave. Otherwise, there will be a risk of failure nine times out of ten, which is not good for the host family. Therefore, there is a saying that "nine times out of ten graves will be moved, failure will occur." Then why did your ancestor say this:
The superstitious statement of our ancestors: In ancient times, our ancestors were very superstitious when science was underdeveloped. They believe that before burial, the tombs in the ancestor's cemetery have been observed by "experts" and they found some locations that are conducive to the development of future generations for burial. Therefore, there is also the saying "Shan Guan Ren Ding, Shui Guan Cai". ” argument.
After determining the location of the ancestral grave for burial, it cannot be moved at will, otherwise it will affect the luck of future generations. Therefore, there is a saying "Don't move the grave, nine times out of ten you will lose." But the old saying The ancestors believe that if the tomb must be moved, the following reasons must be met, such as the ancestral tomb being damaged by nature, and the ancestral tomb being occupied. However, the ancients would not move the tomb due to conservative reasons.
After determining the location of the ancestral tomb for burial, it cannot be moved at will, otherwise it will affect the luck of future generations. Therefore, there is a saying "Don't move the tomb, nine times out of ten you will lose." . However, the ancestors believe that if the tomb must be moved, the following reasons must be met, such as the ancestral tomb being destroyed by nature, and the ancestral tomb being occupied. However, for the sake of conservatism, ancient people would not move graves.
But for our descendants, we should not move the graves at will. This has nothing to do with Feng Shui, but other reasons:
We believe that "the deceased is the deceased." Once a person dies, it is correct to let the deceased "be at peace in the grave" instead of disturbing the deceased by moving here and there for your own selfishness. Just like when a person falls asleep at night, is it respectful if someone disturbs this person? Of course it is not the case. Therefore, this grave cannot be moved casually.
Of course, another meaning is that as the saying goes, "Filial piety comes first", and our country has respected filial piety since ancient times. If the ancestor of the family dies, he cannot fulfill his filial piety in the world, so he must After the death of the ancestors, proper arrangements must be made for them. Therefore, frequently moving graves back and forth is disrespectful to our ancestors. Therefore, for the sake of "filial piety", we cannot move graves casually.
To sum up:
Here I think the rural saying: "Don't move graves, nine times out of ten you will lose" is not only a saying often said by the older generation, but also There is a kind of "filial piety inheritance" in it. Therefore, moving the tomb has nothing to do with the Feng Shui that our ancestors thought. Moreover, frequent relocation of graves not only wastes money and energy, but is also disrespectful to the deceased.
