In ancient times, a geomantic master buried his mother by the river in the name of unfilial, and miracles appeared many years later.

Introduction: Feng Shui, also known as "geomantic omen doctrine", is a philosophy that studies the laws of the environment and the universe. In ancient China, Taoism has been pursuing and advocating "harmony between man and nature", which is now called "harmony". According to legend, geomantic omen was created by Xuan Nv, the ancient god of nine days, and became more and more perfect during the Warring States Period.

Before the Eastern Jin Dynasty, although the ancients had mastered the art of geomantic omen and used it to select sites for palaces, cemeteries and other buildings, no one gave an accurate definition of geomantic omen. Compared with ancient times, science and technology are quite developed now, and many people doubt the scientific nature of geomantic omen and even think it is a superstition.

However, there are still some people who think that since our ancestors have studied geomantic omen for thousands of years, it is definitely unusual, but it is difficult for ordinary people to understand it, let alone to use it freely, so they have some misunderstandings. During the Jin Dynasty, a cow named Guo Pu appeared. He not only had a deep study of Feng Shui, but also made a clear definition of Feng Shui according to his own study.

Guo Pu wrote a wonderful book called "Buried Classics", in which he wrote: "Buried people take advantage of anger. Qi is dispersed by the wind, and the boundary water stops. The ancients gathered together to make it last, and the deeds stopped, so it was called Feng Shui. " It is precisely because of this that Guo Pu is known as the "originator of geomantic omen", and the world has such an evaluation of him: "The technique of astronomical divination in the five elements of the cave turns disasters into disasters, and it leads to nowhere. Although Jingfang and Guan Lu can't pass. "

According to records, Guo Pu was fond of studying Confucian classics since he was a child, and he was very interested in Zhouyi and other books. At that time, there was a cow named Guo Gong, who was proficient in divination. He thought that Guo Pu had fine bones and was very suitable for learning Feng Shui, so he was carefully cultivated. A few years later, Guo Pu shine on you was better than Lan, and his attainments in geomantic omen had surpassed his master Guo Gong.

besides feng shui, Guo Pu is also good at divination, and he can predict the great events that will happen later. During the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty, Guo Pu counted his fingers, even though there would be a war in his hometown soon, but he was not very famous at that time, and many people did not believe his prediction. In desperation, he fled his hometown with his relatives and took refuge in the south. As he expected, after he left for more than a month, his hometown Hedong was occupied by the enemy.

The people who didn't flee are very sorry. If they had believed Guo Pu at that time, they wouldn't be so miserable now. Since then, Guo Pu has become more and more famous, and many dignitaries regard him as a guest of honor. A few years later, Guo Pu's mother died of illness. Before that, although Guo Pu had calculated the date of her mother's death, he was helpless because birth and death were natural laws.

After her mother died, Guo Pu made a shocking decision and built a cemetery for her by the river. In ancient times, the cemetery was either built on the mountain or in a relatively high place, and it would never be built near the water, otherwise, in the event of a flood, the cemetery would definitely be flooded. Many of Guo Pu's relatives called him an unfilial son, but they didn't dare to explain him. They all blamed him blindly, which made Guo Pu quite depressed.

Surprisingly, Guo Pu chose this cemetery for her mother, which is located in a land of geomantic treasures. Since the mother was buried here, not only has there been no flood, but it has become fertile land after many years, and powerful people have buried their relatives here. At this time, Guo Pu's relatives realized that he had good intentions and praised him as a prodigy.
