There was a scholar named Shu Fen in the Ming Dynasty. Shu Fen, a native of Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, won the first prize in the 12th year of Zhengde in Ming Dynasty (15 17). He is an honest and clean official, famous for his loyalty and filial piety. He is known as the "champion of loyalty and filial piety". Moreover, Shu Fen's knowledge is very profound, and he has written a lot in his life, including The Complete Works of Wen Shu and Gong Jie.
Shufen was smart and studious since childhood. He was able to write poetry at the age of seven and was praised as a prodigy by his hometown people. /kloc-When he was 0/2 years old, Shu Fen wrote a poem "Yan Xun Fu", which made him famous in one fell swoop. Nanchang magistrate praised him and recommended him as a learned disciple. In the second year of Zheng De (1507), it was held in Shufen Township. In the 12th year of Zheng De's reign (15 17), Shu Fen took the exam and entered the palace smoothly, and was chosen as the champion by Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty.
Shu Fen won the first prize in the exam, of course, because of his good knowledge. As for whether it has anything to do with the feng shui of his ancestral grave, I won't jump to conclusions. However, in the book Yu Tang Cong Hua written by Amin Jiao Hong, there is such a record about Feng Shui. I will share it with you today as a talk.
According to the records in the book, Shufen's father got a piece of land and planned to use it as his graveyard in a hundred years. He specially invited a feng shui fortune teller to see how the feng shui of this land was.
After careful exploration, the fortune teller praised the geomantic omen of this land and said, "This place should be prosperous, but it will take four generations." The so-called "Dingyuan" is the champion. If you are buried here, your descendants will definitely win the first prize, but you must wait until four generations later.
Shufen's father has high expectations of Shufen. He thought that his son would be the top scholar, but after listening to the fortune teller, he sighed in disappointment: "It can't wait until then."
At that time, Shufen was still young. He said to his father, "Father, don't worry. If this place is really a treasure trove of feng shui, please bury three generations of ancestors here so that children can win the first prize. "
Shufen's father thinks it's a good idea, and so does the fortune teller. So he chose an auspicious day and buried the three generations of ancestors of the Shu family in that piece of geomantic treasure. When Shu Fen's father died, he was also buried there, bringing together four generations. In the end, 34-year-old Shu Fen really won the first prize.
Shu Fen's father was given a burial place, and Xing Jia said, "This place should be crowned with prosperity, but it must be four generations later." Shu Fu said, "I can't stay." Shifen said when he was a child, "My father has no worries. If the land wins, please move the bones of Sanzu and bury them here, and my son will be fine. " With the father, the fruit is abundant.
