On Zhu Yuanzhang's Feng Shui Problem

Because Liu Bowen thought that Zhu Yuanzhang's parents' graves were on a dragon vein, which brought together a treasure trove of geomantic omen, favorable weather and favorable people. If you move the grave, it will break the dragon spirit, which is not conducive to the national luck of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang grew up in poverty and hunger, and lived with his parents and brothers day after day. A famine and plague in his childhood claimed all his relatives. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was penniless, had no condition to bury his parents at all, so he had to plead with the landlord, hoping that he would show mercy and reward himself with a small piece of open space. But the landlord refused, and Liu Jizu, a fellow villager of Zhu Yuanzhang, was kind and gave him a small piece of land to bury his parents.

A few years later, when Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, his first thought was to move his parents' graves to a good place for reburial. Liu Bowen, the sent minister, is very proficient in Feng Shui. When he went to visit the grave, he was suddenly surprised. It turns out that Zhu Yuanzhang's parents' grave is on a dragon vein, which brings together the right time, the right place and the right people, and everything is peaceful. If he moves the grave hastily, it will destroy Long Qi, thus affecting the fate of the Zhu Dynasty.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to rebuild around the mausoleum, and finally built a large-scale and magnificent Ming Zuling.

Sure enough, after the Ming Dynasty ruled China for hundreds of years, the politics was clear, the national strength was strong, and the economy was developed, all of which may not have nothing to do with this Feng Shui theory. After all, China's geomancy is rather mysterious. Whether emperors, nobles or ordinary people, whether building houses or choosing cemeteries, they all attach great importance to Feng Shui. Even in modern times, most people attach great importance to these.
