Since ancient times, Chinese people have hoped to find a geomantic treasure land to bury their ancestors. Because people believe that finding a good resting place for their ancestors will bring good luck to future generations; on the contrary, if the feng shui of the ancestor's tomb is not good, everything will go wrong for the descendants, and bad luck will continue to happen, and even the family will be destroyed.
It is under this traditional concept that in the old days, when some families made a fortune or became high officials, people would think that this was because their ancestral tombs had good feng shui; some families had been poor for generations, It is difficult to prosper, so people think that the feng shui of his family's ancestral tomb is not good; there are other families who first rose rapidly to great wealth and then declined rapidly. There are many examples of such family decline throughout the ages. So, the feng shui of his family's ancestral tomb is Is Feng Shui good or bad?
For this issue, traditional Feng Shui will give different explanations depending on the specific situation. For example, artists believe that the Feng Shui of a place should not only look at the "situation", but also "regulate the Qi", that is, the Feng Shui. The time effect is as the saying goes, "Feng Shui turns around." Even the best Feng Shui land cannot prosper forever. Usually, the cycle of prosperity will last for three generations. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that "wealth cannot last more than three generations." In addition, some places can only get rich after three generations. It also declined quickly, so the family fell into decline in just one generation. (Micro: Ancient and Modern Mysterious Culture)
The more common reason in the eyes of artists is that the family’s ancestral tomb was “unlawfully buried.” The key to Yin Zhai Feng Shui boils down to three words - "harnessing the vitality". The set of procedures used by artists to find Feng Shui treasures: looking for dragons, observing sand, observing water, tapping acupoints, etc. are actually all to find the place where the vitality accumulates so that the bones of the ancestors can "take advantage of the vitality".
It is not difficult to see that this includes two aspects: First, find the treasure of the dragon's cave where the vitality accumulates. This point has always been valued by everyone, and there is no need to say more; secondly, it is necessary to master the method of "multiplying" the vitality in the acupuncture points, so that it can be prosperous and auspicious. If the "multiplying" is not done properly, it is likely to turn good fortune into misfortune. Therefore, magicians believe that if you bury the "dead soil" that is lifeless by mistake, you will only be poor and lowly, and there will be no big disaster; but if you bury it in a place where there is life, it will not be buried properly. If the life is not "multiplied" correctly, there may even be a big disaster. The body was completely defeated.
Going back to the above question, the reason why some families prospered in the beginning was because their ancestral graves were indeed buried in the treasured dragon's cave where vitality accumulated; later on, the reason why the family fell into decline was because This is because his ancestors were not buried according to the law and were not good at taking advantage of their vitality. The same anger can be a blessing or a disaster, but there is a huge difference, so ancient Feng Shui masters attached great importance to this.
As for the method of harnessing qi, it is nothing more than the method of situation and the method of regulating qi. Magicians also have many sayings such as "it is better to go against the flow than to follow the qi. If the qi is reversed, the bones will be absorbed, and the future generations will be blessed." Due to space limitations, I will not expand on this.
