It is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he ordered people to build the Ming Zuling, ready to move the ancestral grave, and came to his hometown Fengyang with Liu Bowen, who was proficient in Feng Shui. Liu Bowen observed it carefully for a while and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "The geomantic omen here is excellent, which is the legendary Dragon Cave. I am really happy for the emperor. " Perhaps Liu Bowen's remarks are flattering, but it is enough to show that Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor, is also convinced of Feng Shui.
There have been many people with high Feng Shui attainments in history, such as Guo Pu in the Jin Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang in the early Tang Dynasty, and Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu and Han in the Three Kingdoms. They are very famous, and they can be said to be household names. There was a minister named yang hu in the Western Jin Dynasty. Before he became an official in the DPRK, he invited a feng shui master to see the feng shui of his homestead.
The master looked at it and said, "The feng shui here is good. You will definitely get a formal job and a part-time job in the future. If you mix well, you may even become an important official of the court. " Yang hu was born in a noble family of Han and Wei dynasties, and there were many senior officials in his ancestors. His father was also a satrap, and he is also very knowledgeable. If no accident, with this illustrious background, he is sure to get along, even if the master doesn't say anything, yang hu knows very well.
After lunch, yang hu took the master to the place where the ancestral grave was located, and let him have a look at the geomantic omen in this place. The master walked around yang hu's ancestral grave several times, and then said to yang hu, "I have never seen such a magical land of geomantic omen in all my years. Your ancestral grave has excellent feng shui. If I am not mistaken, there will be an emperor in your family in the future. "
Yang hu listened to the words of the Feng Shui master, and was frightened to disgrace. After seeing off the master, he immediately dug his ancestral grave and moved to another place. A few days later, the master passed by and saw that yang hu's ancestral grave was gone. He went to yang hu and said, "I forgot to tell you yesterday that if you move your ancestral grave, you will cut down your child, and you will be ranked among the three public." Many years later, as predicted by the master, yang hu was highly valued by the emperor, but left no children.
In fact, it is very wise for yang hu to take the risk of being accused by relatives and friends and move his ancestral grave out of the land of geomantic omen. If feng shui master's words reach the emperor's ears, the emperor will be suspicious and the Yang family will suffer. During the Song Dynasty, a temple was built for 72 famous Bing Gu, and yang hu was one of them, which shows that his talent is very comparable.
