Chaoshan geomantic omen worshipped by Zhuang ancestors

Feng Shui in China originated from the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty. In China, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period more than two thousand years ago, the government and people attached importance to it and gradually formed a science. No matter when creating villages, temples, ancestral temples, houses or even graves, we should pay attention to the context and airflow of the terrain, and choose its beauty and avoid its evil, so as to be peaceful and auspicious. The main feature of China's geomantic omen is to select the situation of mountains and rivers generated by heaven and earth, locate them, and emphasize the coordination of dragons, caves, sand and water. It is believed that the form of children and grandchildren is a part inherited by parents and ancestors. If the parents' bones can be preserved by the vitality of mountains and rivers (dragon gods) generated by heaven and earth, so that future generations can be sheltered, Chaoshan people are superstitious about Feng Shui, saying that building a grave is Feng Shui. Pay attention to funeral customs, which are very extravagant. According to the records of the Qianlong government of the Qing Dynasty, hundreds of people attended the funeral, especially Chenghai. In Chaoshan area, coffins have been parked in Yizhuang for more than ten years to find a blessed land, and there have also been cases in which coffins were opened for bone examination after ten or eight years of burial, and then reloaded into clay pots (called golden pots, commonly known as fire golden jars) to find a blessed land for burial. So in the countryside of the old society, there are houses and caves everywhere where coffins and gold cans are parked. In 1930s, the Kuomintang government once ordered a ban on coffins, but it had little effect. Even now, we can often see some living people building graves for themselves on the mountain. This is the so-called living foundation. Chaoshan people pay attention to geographical feng shui, mainly building houses and graves. That is to say, the choice of the topography and orientation of the Yang house and the Yin house should be someone with common sense and vision, or Mr. Kan Yu. Especially the rich, when they are old, please ask Mr. Feng Shui to choose a cemetery to be the foundation before their death and bury them after their death. Mr. Feng Shui often walks around Shan Ye with an entourage and an umbrella for him, looking for auspicious places. Looking at its context, the dragon is an extension of mountains, hills and highlands, and the vein is the water with dragons, that is, the blood of dragons. You also need to know the airflow there, that is, the wind situation where the acupuncture points are located. Because the choice of tomb is mainly Feng Shui, it is called Feng Shui. Mr. Feng Shui chose several good places that can be used as caves in the capital. When the rich man asked him to choose a cemetery, he had a few cards to play. Good cemetery, high pay, and dozens of loads of millet. Generally speaking, people are miserable when they die, and the funeral expenses of the poor are hard to cope with. If Mr. Feng Shui is not invited, relatives and neighbors have to arrange a suitable cemetery for them. There are always people in the clan who have little knowledge of Feng Shui, but they just help to bury it. Generally speaking, look higher and look ahead, the front is bright and broad, that is, there is a hall; A stream of water bends from the back to the front, converges slightly, and then slowly flows to the side. It is better to have a horizontal pond in front to collect water. Small ditches and paddy fields all have water, which can be used as dragon's blood. There are also roads and buildings in front that can't reach the acupoints directly, so they have to cross; And the cemetery should be sheltered from the wind, not in the limelight. There should be no road behind the tomb and it should be far from the back of the tomb. There are also exquisite hills and highlands around. The terrain around each tomb is related to the fate of Long Mai's next generation of sons. All sons with many children should also know and give advice. In short, there are many commandments, and the orientation angle of the tomb should be decided by Luo Geng, and even the burial time should be chosen. As for the emphasis on housing, the existing format is the orientation and architecture of the whole house. Living in a family is not like choosing a cemetery flexibly, and the location is not so complicated. Most of them sit facing south or west or east; The back seat is higher than the front seat, and the vestibule is wider than the back court; Don't go straight through the three doors, even if it is sunny.
