Hakka geomantic story

The story of 1 Jiang Integration, built by Wang Chengqi, the founder of Fujian Tulou.

Although Jiang Integration is a farmer, he still knows a little about Feng Shui. He used to live in the official hall under the stone town of Gaobei village. At that time, he felt that the Guanting Hall was narrow, with a steep horizontal dry mountain behind it and a river in front of it, so there was no room for survival. When he is free, he will climb the Henggan Mountain and enjoy the geomantic omen of this place. One day, looking to the northwest, he saw two veins of Jinshan and Yinshan rolling and rushing. "Long Mai" is an open field, which is the root of the spirit. Building a house to live in will make people rich. However, this area is the site of Jianggong North House, which is about a mile away from where you live. How can it be done easily?

Jiang Zhenghe is a man with calculation. In fact, he already knows what to do.

At that time, half of the land was flat and the rest was wilderness. Jiang Jihe bought a large flock of ducks and grazed there every day, reclaiming land around the farmland. Gradually, he became close to the villagers here and tried to build two sheds (huts on the pond) on the small pond at the intersection. Because this place is close to the lower corner of the bridge, Jiang Yishan, a rich man in the lower corner of the bridge, really intervened. He warned: "Jiang integration, do you want to pluck hair from the cat's nose and expand your territory here?" Jiang Integration hurriedly explained with a smile apologetically: "How dare you! I just set up a shed for the convenience of grazing ducks, so that I can rest here at noon and shelter from the rain when it rains. "

Seeing Jiang's integrated attitude and sincerity, I naturally don't care anymore.

Soon, Yishan died. Jiang Jihua thinks it's time to show his talents. He saw Wuyunlou near the pond shed, and all the residents moved to Xiewukeng to start their own businesses, leaving only Zhaolong and Zhao Hu. The two brothers, nicknamed nails and horns, eat, drink, gamble and steal, and do all kinds of evil; Over 30, no wife or children. Jiang has been integrated with them for a long time. Since the pond shed was set up in front of Wuyun Building, they have been the guests who must come every day. Put the duck in the river. There are plenty of duck eggs anyway. It's not easy to bring a pot or two of homemade rice wine and fry some duck eggs. Jiang Ji has a well-thought-out plan and wants to use them as a wedge to break into Wuyun Building.

Jiang Integration not only invites nails and corner drills to drink every day, but also often lends them money to spend. After a long time, nail and corner drill felt embarrassed and offered to sell all the properties of Wuyunlou.

"Which meeting? Where do you live? " Jiang integration said.

"Wuyunlou was originally bought by our ancestors. Other people's homes are uncomfortable. If we sell them, we will move back to Yongchang Building. " The nail explained. Jiang Jihe was overjoyed and said, "If you really want to give me your property, so be it: all the money borrowed in the past will be given to each other, and the value of the property will be calculated;" In addition, if you want to marry someone, all the expenses will be borne by me. "

Nail, horn drill married a wife, have money to spend, of course, happy; After Jiang integrated the property of buying nails and angle drills, the original residents of Wuyun Building who moved to Xiewukeng to start a business also sold their properties to him. He was even more happy that he finally owned the whole Wuyun Building.

When he got the Wuyun Building, Jiang Integration felt that the foundation of the building was too low and the building was too short, with only three floors, which was not conducive to the reproduction of future generations, so he began to transform it. He stripped all the tiles on the top floor and all the beams and columns of the whole building, raised the whole site, and then erected the wood again. The project is progressing smoothly. However, at the end of the day, when the wall was rammed higher, there was a grave on the back of the building. The owner of the tomb thought that the height of the wall would hinder the geomantic omen of the tomb, so he called dozens of young people to dig the wall. Ginger integration is in my eyes, but I am not worried at all. He forbade his children and grandchildren to gossip, told his daughter-in-law to roll a big pot of tea and send it to the wall to greet the younger generation for tea. Then I cooked a big pot of jade powder, smiled and invited the younger generation to eat snacks, and each person also gave two taels of silver as a salary. On the fourth day, for three days in a row, the boys who dug the wall were moved. He thinks it is impossible to get paid for digging and destroying other people's walls. Stop digging the wall. Jiang Integration took this opportunity to make a plan, thinking that ramming the wall was time-consuming, laborious and eye-catching, so he concentrated all his manpower on making mud bricks, asked carpenters to work overtime as beams and columns, and chose a good opportunity to move bricks, lay bricks and erect beams. After several nights of tossing, the top floor was finally nailed to a raft and covered with tiles. According to local customs, if the earth building "comes out of the cave" (meaning on the tile), it is a feng shui obstacle and no interference is allowed.

Wuyun Building has been rebuilt, but the only fly in the ointment is that the top floor is made of mud bricks, which are very rough. This was an irreparable regret for the integration of Chiang Kai-shek at that time.
