The influence of ancestral graves on future generations is an important part of geomantic omen. It is not only the destination of the material body after death, but also the spiritual place for future generations to pay homage to their ancestors, and it is also an invisible magnetic field that affects the reproduction of future generations. Since the birth of mankind, life and death have been an eternal topic. "Stand at 30, don't be confused at 40, and know your destiny at 50". If a person is over 500 years old, it is equivalent to being "half buried in the soil", and then naturally consider the issue of home after death. Whether buried in the sky, in the water, in a hanging coffin or in the earth, different burial methods are chosen according to different national beliefs and local customs. These methods have been handed down and formed a science. People who specialize in this science and engage in the funeral industry are honored as "Kanyu teachers". When history developed to the Jin Dynasty, a gentleman named Guo Pu summed up this knowledge in an all-round way and formed a famous book "Buried Classics".
The Funeral Scripture makes an incisive exposition on the function of ancestral graves: "Burying people takes advantage of anger. Five gases flow underground. The birth of all things. People accept it from their parents. The skeleton was angry and its body was covered. According to Confucian classics, people should be blessed by ghosts when they are angry. Based on the collapse of Tongshan. Zhong Ling Dongying ". This passage vividly shows the operation process of how the ancestors "took advantage of anger", "walked on the ground", "gave birth to everything" and "responded with anger, and ghosts blessed people". The ancestors' influence on future generations is just like "Tongshan West Collapse" and "Zhong Ling Japan". "Buried Sutra" further said: "Creator. The accumulation of qi. Predecessors. The bone is dead, and nobody cares about it. The deceased. Oppose qi and accept bone. Born in the shadow ",which means the so-called" living ",is essentially the condensation of qi and the formation of flesh and blood, while" dead "protects and blesses their offspring by sending out their backbones. Therefore, choosing the geomantic omen of the cave burial place is directly related to the good fortune and misfortune of future generations.
In any case, at present, the function of ancestral grave geomantic omen cannot be detected by modern "science and technology" and can only be confirmed by historical practice. Historical celebrities attach great importance to ancestral graves and geomantic omen. Perhaps they have benefited a lot, and their success has shown this. Emperors of past dynasties are even more eager for "martial arts". Usually, from the time they ascended the throne, they chose places and caves to build huge buildings. It seems that all the wind and water in the world are occupied by these tombs, so that their imperial industry often lasts for hundreds of years. However, even among ordinary people, if there is a champion, a high official, a rich man, or a "rich population", if we pay attention to his ancestral grave, it must be a treasure trove.
