In what way did Qin Shihuang suppress the "Qi of Tian Zi"?

Qin Shihuang's eastward expedition to "Tian Zi Qi" took place in the thirty-seventh year of the first emperor (2 10 BC), and clues can be found in the official history.

According to historical records? The Biography of Qin Shihuang (Volume 6) shows that Qin Shihuang did crusade eastward in this year. "In October of the thirty-seventh year, it was ugly and started." At that time, prime minister Reese accompanied him on a trip. After starting from Xi 'an, I arrived in Yunmengze in November, offered a sacrifice to Yu Shun in the direction of Jiuyi Mountain, and then went down the river.

Near Nanjing, take a ferry from the river (southwest of the shogunate, near Qixia Mountain), go ashore, enter the city, then cross Yang Xiaodan, and then go south to Zhejiang along Taihu Waterway. When I came back, I also crossed the river from the river.

Because of Qin Shihuang's eastward tour, the earliest "expressway" appeared in Nanjing-Qin Huang Chidao, which was the national highway of Qin State at that time and was used exclusively by the royal family. Horse racing on it is very beautiful, running all the way, just like driving a private car on a closed highway today, hence the name "Chidao".

Why did Qin Shihuang choose this eastward route? According to Historical Records, it was mainly to suppress the "Tian Zi Qi" in the southeast. Previously, the warlock who was good at bearish told Qin Shihuang that "Jiangdong (here is Nanjing) has the spirit of the son of heaven", and Qin Shihuang decided to take his own real dragon son of heaven to crusade for suppression.

According to the Records of Jiankang in Ding Jing (Volume 6), when Qin Shihuang crossed the river, the warlock looked at the gas again and reported to Qin Shihuang the detailed location of the son of heaven and when a new son of heaven would be born: "In five hundred years, Jinling will have a son of heaven." It means that a new dynasty will be born in Nanjing in 500 years. Legend has it that this warlock is Xu Fu, who went to the fairyland in the East China Sea the year before last to look for the "elixir of life" for Qin Shihuang. He used to be the physician of Qin Shihuang. He is said to be from Jinshan Town, Ganyu County, Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, where there is still "Xufu Village". Qin Shihuang was overjoyed. Since he started, his surname has won the emperor of the world. Qin Shihuang stopped in Nanjing and asked the warlock to "operate" the geomantic omen in Jinling, which was also the most famous geomantic omen event in Qin and Han Dynasties in China history.

Change the direction of the river

How did Qin Shihuang suppress the spirit of Jinling Emperor? It turned out that the ancient witchcraft was used to overcome the victory. According to historical data and legends, there are three kinds of magic, one is to change the direction of rivers; Two whips cut a mountain of gas; Third, change the name and reduce the local reputation.

This is also the so-called "three axes" of the ancients. One of Qin Shihuang's axes was to change the direction of the river and drain the blood of Jinling. Qinhuai River, whose real name is "Zanglongpu", is an important inland river near Nanjing, which flows through the urban area of Nanjing and is the most important waterway that gave birth to the Six Dynasties civilization and Nanjing imperial culture. At the same time, it is also a river with integrity. In the second year of East Jin Mingdi, during the rebellion of Shen Chong and Soviet Union, 3,000 people committed suicide by jumping into Qinhuai River.

Qinhuai River has two sources, the east source comes from Jurong Maoshan and the west source comes from? Shuidong Lushan Mountain meets Jiangning Fangshan Dai. Legend has it that water did not flow through Nanjing city at first. Qin Shihuang had the dragon near Fangshan cut off, and the water was diverted to the north and passed through the whole city. The king of Nanjing was washed away. The reason why Qinhuai River flows northward is said to have been done by Qin Shihuang.

Today, there is a stone kneeling mountain near Fangshan. Legend has it that Qin Shihuang attacked the Dragon Dragon in those days. Qinhuai River was also named "Qin" because of the geomantic events created by Qin Shihuang.

Whip mountain

Why did Qin Shihuang's warlocks choose Fangshan as the place to start? This is due to geomantic omen.

Fangshan, also known as Yin Tian, is a strange mountain in the southern suburbs of Nanjing, and it is one of the "48 scenic spots in Jinling". This mountain is located on the Qinhuai River in the south of dongshan town, Jiangning District, and it is one of the five famous sites of geomantic omen in Nanjing. There are many tombs around it. Mountain side, loneliness and peace, hence the name Fangshan; It is also called "Yin Tian Shan" because its four corners are square, just like a lithograph made by Tiangong.

"Xi" is a special name for the emperor's seal after the Qin Dynasty, just as the emperor called himself "I". There is also a kind of "longan" on Fangshan Mountain, namely "Bagua Spring", which is not affected by drought and keeps bubbling all the year round. What's more strange is that all the places outside Fangshan are black soil, and only at the foot of this mountain is red soil, which some people call scattered inkpad.

Nowadays, visitors to Fangshan Scenic Area may hear a legend: One day, the Jade Emperor was playing with his golden seal, and accidentally, the golden seal fell to his feet, leaving dust behind. Impartiality fell in the direction of Fangshan today and became a mountain. Later, the Jade Emperor sent the guards in front of the temple, Qinglong and Huanglong, to protect the mountain, so the east and west of Fangshan formed Qinglong and Huanglong Mountain. So Fangshan is also a "Lingshan". After Qin Shihuang vented his anger, he was afraid that it would not be completely broken, so he whipped this Lingshan with the whip of God, which was the second move of Qin Shihuang to "make the king angry".

It is said that Qin Shihuang wanted to break the roots of the mountain, but the place where the whip fell was not the key. The roots of the mountain are not broken, and the mountain is waist-high. The upper part flew more than 30 miles to the southeast and fell into the lake. That mountain is red, which is today's "Chishan". There are still a few pieces, the larger ones fall outside 10, forming the "heaped mountains" in dongshan town today. The smaller one forms the "Zhushan". In addition, in March of 1946 and 17, the legend of Daishan, where Kuomintang spy Dai Li crashed, was also formed in this incident.

Qinglong Mountain and Huanglong Mountain are connected together, close to Fangshan Mountain, and Qin Shihuang took it out with a whip, forming the "Mid-level Mountain" (commonly known as Qinglong Mountain). Qinglong also hurt his eyes and cried all the time, forming the "Tangshan Hot Spring" in which Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling both liked to bathe.

Obviously, this is folklore. The formation of Fangshan and its surrounding landforms is the result of hundreds of millions of years of geological movement, which is the first emperor of A Qin? But it is revealed that Qin Shihuang may have been to Fangshan in the past.

I'm used to changing my name

After Qin Shihuang cut off the "Tian Zi Qi" in Nanjing, people forgot this place forever and changed Jinling in Chu Weiwang to "Moling". What does Moling mean? This is the disgraceful old name of Nanjing. This is the third trick of Qin Shihuang's "true Wang Qi" ―― changing his name and insulting Nanjing to reduce its reputation.

There is an idiom called "keep horses for the enemy", which means to feed horses and sharpen weapons before the war. Moling, in Qin Shihuang's eyes, was the place where he fed horses. This move is very vicious. After man-made destruction, livestock are allowed to spoil this land of feng shui in Nanjing. Now Jiangsu still has the habit of herding horses. After the death of Qin Gui, a traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty, his graveyard was also used by later generations to humiliate him by herding sheep. Qin put Moling under the jurisdiction of Yan County, followed by Moling Pass and Moling Bridge. By the Western Han Dynasty, Moling belonged to the county. In 128 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made his son Jiangdu Liuwang the Duke of Moling. However, Qin Shihuang's painstaking efforts were used in the wrong place. Shortly after he killed Tian Ziqi in Nanjing, he died of illness and lost his soul on the way eastward. His Qin empire collapsed three years after his death.

However, Nanjing's imperial spirit was never broken by Qin Shihuang. In the Han Dynasty, a warlock said, "Look for the yellow flag and purple cover between bullfights, and Jiangdong has the emperor's spirit." Sure enough, less than 500 years later, Nanjing produced its first emperor. In 229 AD, after Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor in Wuchang, he soon moved to Nanjing, and Wudong Dadi was born.

Later, Si Marui came to Nanjing. At that time, a warlock found that Ziyun often appeared on Jiangshan Mountain in the eastern suburbs, and a hopeful person told him that this was the "Shang Yu" in Jiangdong. At that time, there was a rumor that "five horses swam across the Xijiang River and one horse turned into a dragon". In 3 17, Si Marui was very happy to become an emperor in Nanjing, founded the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and had the longest capital in Nanjing.

Digging ditches and burying swords in Liu Bang's hometown to break "Long Mai"

The geomantic events created by Qin Shihuang were far more than this one, but the most famous one broke the "Qi of Southeast Tian Zi".

In the process of traveling here and there, Qin Shihuang should take a warlock who is good at looking forward and seeing the scenery, first look at the geography and find out the geomantic omen of various places. Legend has it that when Qin Shihuang visited Fengyi area in Pengcheng (now Xuzhou), the warlock found a "water dragon" here, so Qin Shihuang asked people to dig ditches and bury swords to break the "Long Mai".

Liu Bang can be emperor, and there are many legends in Xuzhou. The most popular thing is that Liu Bangzu's grave is buried in a treasure house of geomantic omen.

Liu Bang was born in Fengyi, Pei County, Xuzhou. His grandfather, Liu Qing, moved from Daliang, the capital of Wei (now Kaifeng, Henan). The village where he lived was later called "Golden Liu Zhuang".

I don't know when a buttonwood tree was born in front of Liu's house. A few years later, this tree has grown into a towering tree. One day, the wind was blowing hard, and a golden phoenix flew in and built a nest in the tree. Then golden phoenix flew away. Strangely, Liu Qing also died of illness. The family dug down the buttonwood tree and made a coffin for Liu Qing.

When I was about to be buried, the sunny weather suddenly changed, with heavy rain, lightning and thunder. But the coffin had just left the house and could not be carried back, so it was temporarily parked next to the buttonwood pit. When the rain stopped and undertaker came to carry the coffin, he found that the coffin was gone and a grave appeared on the buttonwood pit. People saw black ants on the grave. They were busy carrying earth to the grave. This is the legend of "phoenix needle" and "ant round grave" in Liu Bangzu's tomb. This matter was naturally said by Liu Bang after he became emperor. The attached legend is that when Liu Bang was born, he happened to meet Qin Shihuang's star patrol to Fengyi. Seeing the thriving atmosphere here, the warlock reported to Qin Shihuang that there was "the potential of water dragons" here. There are two kinds of dragons in feng shui theory, one is mountain dragon and the other is water dragon. According to Guan Ju, a famous master and warlock in the Three Kingdoms period, there are five waterspouts besides three mountain dragons in China.

Hefen is a sect in the north, Jianghai is a sect in the east, Luo Chuan is a sect in the west, and Fujian and Zhejiang are sects in the south. It is said that the mountain is not only expensive, but also the water has its own ancestors. River (Yellow River) flows from Kunlun Mountain, Fenhe River flows from Taiyuan and Jinyang Mountain, River (Yangtze River) flows from Minshan Mountain, Luoshui flows from Zhong Ling, and Zhejiang flows from Yushan Mountain in Shexian County. Among them, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River have the strongest momentum. The water of the Yellow River originates farthest, but the river is turbid all the time, so it is impossible to go wrong. Once clarified 500 years later, the wise Lord should respond. The water of the Yangtze River is the length of the four blasphemies, and it is the water for raising water dragons.

Pei County has Huai Si Shui, which lies between the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. Fengyi is named "Pei" because of its rich water resources. In ancient times, local aborigines used snakes as totems. "Dragon" is the embodiment of snake, and "dragon" is a kind of water snake. After Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor, people said that he was "the son of Jiaolong".

Hearing the warlock say that a "water dragon" was born in the local area, Qin Shihuang ordered all the baby boys born in Fengyi recently to be killed. At the same time, build a high platform in the local area to suppress the king; Digging ditches and burying swords to break the "Long Mai". Coincidentally, Liu Bang's parents took Liu Bang to Pei County and escaped the disaster. This is how the saying "Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang raised a lot" came about.

But everything Qin Shihuang did was in vain. Three years after his death, the world began to rebel. Chen Sheng and Guangwu led the uprising, followed by Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. In the end, Liu Bang, the son of Xiaolong, won the championship ~
