Liu Lao Xu's Feng Shui

According to the folk geomantic theory, the hometown of celebrities is mostly a treasure trove of geomantic omen. What is left green dragon and right white tiger, and the former Suzaku is back to Xuanwu, which is called "the unity of heaven and man, the combination of yin and yang." Although these statements are far-fetched and even regarded as "superstitions", they have been handed down and seem to have some truth in them. It is said that the Liu family also talked about geomantic omen when building Liu Lao Wei, and they were very particular about site selection and layout. There is a hole called Tiger Mouth on Tiger Cliff of Buried Hill, facing Liulaowei. Liu is homophonic with "Niu". In order to avoid the taboo of "tigers eat cows", Liu specially built a building called "steel fork building", aiming steel forks and other weapons at the tiger's mouth to break the taboo. The Liu family also demolished the nearby unsightly "old mother pigsty" village, and dug a big ditch for a cemetery named Liu to avoid blocking Liu's Long Mai. However, "the wind and water turn", this kind of thing has always been believed, and it is not good to believe it.

If one party's geomantic omen made Liu Mingchuan famous, it seems that the famous Liu Mingchuan made this old manor between Jianghuai famous now. After all, Liu Mingchuan is the original owner of Liu.

Similar to the theory of Feng Shui, the physiognomy of predicting life by looking at faces is also a mysterious knowledge. According to relevant information, Liu Mingchuan's appearance is very distinctive, because smallpox left some spots on his face when he was a child, and he was the youngest of six people in his family, so both the villagers and Liu called Liu Mingchuan "Six Pockmarked" or "Yao Pockmarked". However, Liu Mingchuan is not shy and very open-minded. He once wrote a poem on a plum blossom painting he painted: "A little fork on the circle is carved into a tree flower. You asked who painted this flower, and Liu fell under the buried hill. " Although his face is pockmarked and his appearance is not good, there are records that his eyes are like electricity and his voice vibrates the roof beam.

It has long been predicted that Liu Mingchuan may do something in the future. Liu Shengzao, a young teacher of Liu Mingchuan, once commented that he was unruly and aggressive at that time: "The peaceful world is a wasteland, but he may become a hero in troubled times." Zeng Guofan is famous for being good at observing people. Later, some people compiled his notes on observing people into a book "Ice Guide". According to Liu Chengyu's Miscellanies of the World Hall, when the Huai Army was just established, Zeng Guofan quietly came to the Huai Army Camp one day accompanied by Li Hongzhang, only to see: "The Huai Army is famous, including gamblers, scholars, singers and voiceless people. A person is sitting naked in the south window, with a book in his left hand and wine in his right hand, reciting an article, drinking an oil lamp, whistling around the seat and reading my book, almost no one is watching; Depending on his book, Sima Qian's Historical Records is also. After visiting the museum, all the people didn't know that they were Ceng Shuai. They didn't want to welcome Hong Zhang. Ceng Shuai replied to Hong Zhang:' Anyone who can make contributions can achieve great things, and those who will achieve the greatest success in the future will also raise wine naked in the south window.' Who is that man? It is the famous Huai Army Liu Mingchuan. "Facts have proved that Zeng Guofan did not deceive himself, and Liu Mingchuan's life was really remarkable.
