Why do tomb robbers say "bury the mountain but not the top"? What is the mystery behind these words?
Why do tomb robbers say: Bury the mountain but not the top? What mystery is hidden in this statement? When the ancients chose a burial place, they paid attention to choosing a geomantic treasure place. Feng shui is not just about cemeteries? In ancient times, the house where the living lived was called the Yangzhai, and Feng Shui must be paid attention to when building it; the tomb where the dead lived was called the Yin Zhai, and Feng Shui must also be paid attention to when they were buried. Therefore, Feng Shui can be divided into Yang House and Yin House. Feng shui is a mysterious art with a long history in my country, also known as Qingwu Shu and Qingnang Shu. Wind is vitality and field energy, and water is flow and change.
There is a saying in the famous book "The Book of Burial": "The person who is buried takes advantage of the Qi. The Qi will be dispersed by the wind, and will stop by the boundary water. The ancients gathered it to make it not disperse, and the movement made it stop, so it is called In terms of Feng Shui, the method of Feng Shui is to obtain water first, and to hide wind second. ?So, people expect to achieve their desire to seek good fortune and avoid evil through their choice of living or burial environment. The saying "Bury the mountain but not the top" is based on Feng Shui theory: Feng Shui, wind is the air of the sky, water is the blood of the earth, and blood accumulation is wealth. There is an article in "Ten Things Not to Be Buried in the Land" that says: "You cannot be buried on a lonely mountain." The reason here is that the tomb must pay attention to "hiding wind and gathering water".
There is a saying in Feng Shui: "If you are not afraid of riding on your head, you are afraid of being sucked by your feet." Qi all flows down from the top of the mountain, and the downward trend can absorb the Qi from the upper trend. Burying on the top of Lonely Mountain cannot control the trend and may be harmful to future generations. This is the origin of the saying "Bury on the mountain but not on the top". Regarding "Bury the mountain but not the top", etc., these are all Feng Shui sayings. As for whether future generations believe in Feng Shui metaphysics, that is a matter of benevolence and wisdom. Pay attention to the differences in the tombs of the past dynasties. The saying "No Burials on Lonely Mountains" mentioned in "There Are Ten Unburials in the Ground" refers to the top of Lonely Mountain, that is, an isolated mountain top without any surroundings.
From an inventory of the tombs of various dynasties in history, future generations can also see that not all are buried on the top of the mountain, and not all are buried on the slopes and not on the ridges. 1. Most of the tombs in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period and the early Western Han Dynasty were buried at the highest point of the mountain, or near the top of the mountain. 2. Tombs in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty are generally located on mountains, and the highest place is not chosen. 3. Most of the tombs from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were located halfway up the mountain. 4. Tombs from the Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty to Song Dynasty are generally buried on the mountainside or under the hillside. 5. Especially in the Tang Dynasty, the tombs of important figures were also chosen to be buried within the mountain, with holes dug into the mountain.
Grave robbers generally know something about Feng Shui and ancient history, so they have also studied the burial customs of various dynasties, so there are also some masters of tomb robbers. The judgments made by these "experts" about some tombs are indeed surprising. Since the locations of tombs in different periods of our country are different, tomb robbers have also summed up a jingle: "The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are buried on the top of the mountain, the Qin and Han Dynasties are buried in the mountains; the Eastern Han and Southern Dynasties are buried on the mountainside, and the Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties are buried on the slopes." ?Why did the evolution of tombs in the past dynasties occur? From the top of the mountain to the mountainside, the slope gradually transitioned? What is the evolution of such tombs?
Feng Shui started with a primitive understanding, and then the understanding gradually deepened. The original understanding of Feng Shui will gradually be revised or even overturned as history evolves, becoming more reasonable and accurate. Feng Shui, from its birth to the present, is also a process of development and evolution. "Dragon Vein" According to Feng Shui theory, if you look around, you will see a chain of rolling mountains stretching into the distance, with some ups and downs, which is called Dragon Vein in Feng Shui theory. Feng Shui believes that the reason why mountains bulge is due to the function of Qi, that is, the earth's Qi in this dragon vein is running. When the Qi is strong, the ground rises high.
