Strange cemetery feng shui

There is a Majia Village in Cengong County, Kaili City, the capital of Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province. This small mountain village has been bred for generations. There are more than 230 families in the village, with about 2,000 people, all surnamed Wu. Different from other small mountain villages, this mountain village also has a mission, that is, to protect two strange tombs.

It seems that the more you are in the mountains, the more you will pay attention to the ancestral graves of clans. However, in Majia Village, there are two tombs different from other ethnic groups in Guizhou. The headstones of these two tombs are engraved with the same strange figures, including noble and elegant orchids, scholarly copywriters, jade emperors and pipa, and murderous halberds and knives and axes, which seem to imply the special status of Majiacun.

Of course, the news spread out, and the archaeological department sent people to visit the site. It is found that the tomb, like the usual cemetery, faces south, leaving a clear inscription. Archaeologists through professional technology and related literature research, concluded that the main tomb owner of this tomb group is Wu Sangui.

Of course, there is another clue to prove that Majiacun people are descendants of Gaoyou Wu Sangui, that is, everyone in the village can speak Gaoyou dialect in Jiangsu.

But why is it called Majiacun instead of Wujiazhai? The reason is that Ma Bao, the strategist of Wu Sangui, named it Majia Village to protect Chen Yuanyuan from the pursuit of the Qing court.
