The golden rooster pecks at the white rice. As the saying goes, if you stand on the shoulders of giants, you will naturally climb higher.
Many people may not know the meaning of golden rooster pecking white rice. In fact, this is the Feng Shui description of the tomb of Zeng Guofan’s grandfather, Zeng Jingxi.
It is located in Heye Town, Shuangfeng County, Hunan Province. Because the dragon part around the cemetery is winding and powerful, layer upon layer.
In front of the golden rooster pecking at the white rice hole is a small river surrounding it, called "Plowshare Tsui". Qinglong and Baihu Mountains are located on the left and right respectively in an encircling shape. In addition, the mountain shape entering the ancestral tomb is as slender as a chicken's neck. The location of the tomb resembles a chicken head.
Qinglong and Baihu Mountains are like chicken wings, with patches of rice fields (white rice) in front. The reason why it is called golden rooster pecking white rice is to allow more people who don’t understand Feng Shui to see examples and shapes to understand the Feng Shui master’s views on site selection, but it is by no means related to chickens.
They are named just because they have similar shapes. It is recorded in the Zeng family genealogy that after his death, Duke Jingxi was buried in the golden rooster pecking white rice feng shui place. Zeng Guofan was only 4 or 5 years old at that time. And he is the only great-grandson, so the name of Zeng Guofan, a descendant of the Yang Dynasty, is still on the tombstone, and he can still be vaguely identified.
