Qin Shihuang believed in immortality. During his reign, he visited all over the world, seeking opportunities for immortality, and even sent Xu Fu to lead 500 boys and girls to the sea to seek immortality. In this respect, Qin Shihuang believed in superstitions such as immortals. In ancient times, five lines of gossip's geomantic omen was associated with immortals' superstitions and was valued by Qin Shihuang.
In order to rule this land forever, he made two preparations. One is to seek the law of immortality on earth, and at the same time he is ready to seek it, which can be seen from the thousands of terracotta warriors and horses in the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. Second, after your death, you should be ruled by your descendants for a long time, so as to gather talents from all over the country and seek an excellent place for Feng Shui.
At that time, many warlocks were eyeing the tomb of the Zhou Dynasty, namely Yunyang. In the land of Yunyang, jade with gold on its back is a treasure house where dragon gods gather all over the world. Many magicians insisted on this place, and Qin Shihuang chose this place as the land of the imperial tomb without any doubt.
However, as a natural dragon gathering place, Qin Shihuang was not satisfied, because with the passage of time, the blood will move, so this treasure land will definitely lose its so-called fate with the passage of time. Qin Shihuang wanted to lead Chinese mainland forever, so he ordered many magicians to try their best to guide all the dragon gods in the whole world to the direction of the imperial tomb, so as to ensure that their fate could be prolonged as much as possible. So many canals were dug. If you look at the map carefully, you will find that the canal was dug in Yunyang.
However, Qin Shihuang never imagined that due to the backward culture at that time, he changed the landform without authorization and finally turned a treasure land into a cemetery. It led to a lot of waterways, and also caused the Daqin dynasty to fall into hot water.
Generally speaking, it is very unreliable to rely on geomantic omen to protect future generations from enjoying eternal territory. If we only pay attention to these superficial articles and lose the original intention of ruling the world, it will only make people tired and lose their hearts. Without the support of the people, even the so-called God is helpless.
