Who is Mr. Feng Shui who was ordered to choose the Ming Tombs?

Liao (1350 ——1413)

The word Zhao Bao,no. Yufeng, is from Sanliao Village, Meijiao Township, Xingguo.

In the fifth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Yi, the minister of rites, took him to Beijing to choose the mausoleum site. Two years later, Huangtu Mountain in the northeast of Changping, Beijing was finally selected as the mausoleum area.

In the eighth year of Yongle, he was named Dr. Qin Lingtai for his meritorious service in choosing the Ming Tombs.

After the completion of the mausoleum, Liao didn't want to be an official or collect gold, so he gave him a paper fan and wrote a poem: "An old man in Jiangxi has stars hidden in his belly. Cut off the stone carp, and the fruit will be immortal. Give it to officers. No, give it to gold. Give me a breeze and let Ren Qing walk on earth. "

Since then, Liao has also been responsible for the investigation of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Therefore, Liao was supported by the emperor to die of old age with four titles, and wrote Journey and so on.

His cemetery is still halfway up Sanliao Village. 1984 Liao Tomb was designated as a cultural relic protection unit in Xingguo County.
