In China, many people believe in luck. When they get married, their daughters get married and build houses, they always look for "experts" first. "Experts" will choose the right time. It's not just these happy events.
If someone in the family dies, it is also important to choose a cemetery. It is said that the location of the cemetery is related to the fate of future generations. Therefore, many people will look at the location when choosing a cemetery, hoping to pick a land of feng shui.
For example, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in China is a treasure trove of geomantic omen. However, in the history of China, there was a cemetery. When the Qing Dynasty built railways, it was necessary to make a detour. Even Cixi had to give some face. What is the origin of this ancestral grave? Royal family? Is an important figure of Cixi?
Hu da, Cao Shi
This ancestral grave is the ancestral grave of the Cao family. The so-called ancestral grave is the ancestral grave. The location of ancestral graves is directly related to the fate of future generations. Only when the ancestral graves are peaceful can the ancestors rest in peace and the descendants live happily.
In ancient times, if you want to get ahead and be a good person, you can only study. Look at our present society, this theory still holds. Nowadays, the civilization of society is getting higher and higher, and college students abound, but high flyers is limited. Therefore, if you want to gain a foothold in society, only by reading good books can you get closer to your dreams and get what you want.
Why was it also a book theory in ancient times? At that time, the only way for ordinary people to be an official was to study, recite the four books and five classics, read Confucius and Confucianism, and pass various exams before they could be an official. After becoming an official, they had the opportunity to be an official in the court by virtue of their own abilities.
Therefore, we should also understand why scholars attach so much importance to their official career. This is the result of many of them staying up late to study. If you fail, of course, you will not be reconciled.
The famous poet Li Bai wants to enter the official career, but he doesn't want to go with the flow. He whispered a suggestion in the emperor's ear, but he was framed by a villain. But even so, although Li Bai doesn't care on the surface, he still wants to return to his official career in his later years, just for money? Li Bai is a poet and a scholar. I'm afraid it's just an unfinished wish.
Cao was a famous family in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Cao's people were mostly court officials. We know that this was the lifelong dream of many people at that time.
In the Ming Dynasty, compared with other big families, the Cao Shi family was not famous at all. As far as an ordinary family is concerned, it is really a big family. Although there were many officials in the Ming dynasty, their positions were not big, so they could only be said to be officials.
In the Qing dynasty, the whole situation was unexpectedly reversed. There is a character in the Cao family named Cao Chuan. This man has a very good personal relationship with Emperor Kangxi. As long as Emperor Kangxi lived in the Cao family's place, he would live in the Cao family's place, whether for private visits or business.
Emperor Kangxi was an enlightened monarch. Since Emperor Kangxi appreciated and trusted Cao Chuan, it shows that Cao Chuan really has something extraordinary. Because of their relationship, Cao Shi's descendants also received special care. So, this is why, in the Qing Dynasty, the Cao family became more and more prosperous.
The official position is getting bigger and bigger. This is the real Cao Shijia. Will this remind us of the four families in A Dream of Red Mansions, which happened to be the story of the Qing Dynasty? This is just an association.
Railway construction, national projects
In terms of railway construction, China can proudly claim to be the first in the world. Railway construction can be said to be a national project, which facilitates people's travel and the transportation of some goods. Therefore, railway construction benefits the country and the people.
The first railway built in China was the Jing-Zhang Railway. In the fifth year of Guangxu, China planned to build the Jingshan Railway from Beijing to Shanhaiguan.
This route is well planned, no problem. Unfortunately, however, Cao's ancestral grave is on this route. In other words, in order to complete this project, the ancestral graves of the Cao family must be demolished. If it is the ancestral grave of ordinary people, the official will not hesitate to do it, and this is not an ordinary family, but the ancestral grave of Cao family.
Never give in when you move your ancestral graves.
Cao's family heard the news like a bolt from the blue. This is the ancestral grave. What do passive ancestral graves think it is? Especially in that feudal era, ancestral graves were passive, ancestors could not rest in peace, and the days of future generations would not be easy. This is like poking yourself in the spine, and Cao Jiajian will never agree.
Cao Jia knows that this is a national project, and the general methods will not work, and the implementers will not be embarrassed. Instead, they want to go through the back door to see Cixi. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Cixi came to power, and all major issues of the country had to go through Cixi before Cixi nodded. However, it is not a simple matter to meet Cixi. Even if she agrees, Cixi may not agree, but how do you know she can't?
Efforts may not have results, but no efforts must have no results. This matter concerns the face of the Cao family. Cao Cao dare not neglect. They tried their best to meet Cixi against time, hoping that Cixi could change her plan. A lot of things have happened. The Cao family finally met Cixi and explained the situation to Cixi.
Cao's ancestral grave lies between two villages in Tianjin. In fact, it is no different from ordinary ancestral graves, but the biggest difference is that there is a plaque inscribed by Emperor Kangxi himself in the middle of the ancestral graves. Cao's family told Cixi
As we all know, we have always given the first emperor and the incumbent emperor the highest respect. The ninth five-year plan emperor is supreme, and the emperor comes first in everything.
Cixi was deeply moved after hearing this. As a matter of fact, the plan to build this railway needs to be revised. Cixi ordered a readjustment to bypass Cao's ancestral grave. When Cao's family heard the news, a stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground, and they could explain their ancestors well before they could face their ancestors.
The news also shocked the whole of China, unprecedented. This is the first case. It was really shocking. So the Cao Shi family became more famous, and many people remembered the Cao Shi family.
Judging from the relationship between the family and Emperor Kangxi, in fact, it can be seen from the side that the quality of the Cao family is that the emperor is above ten thousand people and there are many opportunities. He can't trust others easily, and he is born in the royal family and enjoys all the splendor. In the imperial family, there are also tears and tears that ordinary people can't taste.
Give up what you get, this is life. Emperor Kangxi trusted the Cao family. Perhaps, there, he can relax, relax his tight strings all day and let himself have a rest.
Each of us doesn't need to envy others, we are not them, what we see is only the surface, the glory is only the surface, and the efforts behind it are not affordable for everyone.
