1963 during the drought in Hongze Lake, the water level was the lowest on record, and the most obvious effect of the water level decline was that what was originally hidden underwater was now exposed. A large number of funerary objects appeared in public view. According to experts' judgment, this place should be the ancestral grave of the Ming Dynasty. But according to the geomantic society, this place chosen by Zhu Yuanzhang is really not a treasure trove of geomantic omen. Some people say that Feng Shui is hard to find a new place, and Zhu Yuanzhang, as an emperor, should be in such a cemetery.
I also think that Zhu Yuanzhang is not superstitious and leads the trend of water burial. Later, I learned that Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather was buried here. If the cemetery is not conducive to the stability of the country (where there is no superstition, it is too superstitious). In order to solve the problem that Feng Shui is not good enough, Zhu Yuanzhang built a treasure house of Feng Shui around the cemetery. When Zhu Yuanzhang built his tomb, it should be land. Why did it become a lake? This is a coincidence, the world is changing, and feng shui is a very mysterious thing. The ancients had the conditions to build houses and repair graves. Why would they invite someone to see Feng Shui?
Therefore, the industry of geomantic omen was very popular in ancient times. After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he was awarded the title of ancestor. It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know where his ancestors were buried, and he found it by asking around (it is said that it is also an uncertain place). Is Zhu Yuanzhang trying to prove that he is the emperor? Heaven? After he ascended the throne, it was rumored that Zhu Jiazu's tomb was the seat of Long Mai (it should be handed down by Zhu Yuanzhang himself). However, under the social background at that time, it was understandable that Zhu Yuanzhang publicized in order to consolidate the status of his ancestors.
