The Dragon Column Incident in Shanghai and the Legend of Monks and Zen Masters
In 1990s, all parts of China were promoting urbanization, and road construction, as the foundation of urbanization, was the focus of every local project. At that time, the construction of elevated roads in Shanghai was in full swing, and Shanghai wanted to form a traffic pattern running through the north and south. But at the intersection of Chengdu Road and Yan 'an Road, the construction team was in trouble, and the foundation pile as the main pillar could not be driven down.
The project had to be suspended temporarily, and many construction workers began to spread the word. Did it destroy the Long Mai of Feng Shui? Do you want to invite a feng shui master to have a look? This was immediately opposed by engineering experts, but the experts tried their best to knock down the pillar, so they invited a Taoist priest to try to resolve it.
Finally, the construction team invited the real Zen master to come and learn about the situation. After reading it, the true Zen master began to do a ceremony. After the master finished the ceremony, the pillar was really hit. Later, he just told the engineer to carve the dragon pattern on the post and left, but soon after, the poop died. Some people think that the true Zen master died because of leaking secrets.
However, these rumors are sheer nonsense. At that time, the reason why the column was not driven was because the piling construction team found by the contractor was only good at building piling and had no experience in driving such a dense column. There are some shortcomings in the construction scheme and technology. The final penetration of the stake depends on scientific modern technology, not geomantic metaphysics. And the dragon on the pillar is just for decoration.
