City brick geomantic omen

In ancient times, because of people's education level, most people were superstitious. They thought this brick was the most important brick to suppress the whole city. Once this brick is removed, the whole city will collapse and bring disaster to people.

With this superstition, ordinary people naturally don't touch taboos. And suppose there are some malicious people, why don't they use this brick? Mainly because there are many people in the city, once you touch this brick, it will undoubtedly arouse people's anger and it will be difficult to protect yourself.

Besides, this brick can't be touched by anyone just lying there. There are corresponding protective measures, guarded by personnel, and it is not easy for ordinary people to contact. Even if someone moved the brick, but in the absence of any sound, future generations will move the brick back and others will not find it.

Second, it is an antique in modern times.

This Dingcheng brick has a history of more than 600 years and belongs to a real cultural relic. Now you can only look outside the fence, not close contact. After all, if it is damaged, although there is no substantial loss, its symbolic significance is not to be taunted by ordinary people.

Third, to commemorate the ancient craftsmen.

It is said that this brick has a story. When it was decided to build Jiayuguan at that time, it was inconvenient to transport materials because it was remote. If too many bricks were transported for construction, it would waste manpower, material resources and financial resources for fear of punishment from the leaders above. Less transportation will affect the construction speed.

So Li Duancheng, who was in charge of building Jiayuguan at that time, invited many skilled craftsmen who were good at building to discuss. At this time, a man named Yi, after careful calculation, determined that 99,999 bricks were needed to use bricks. After the completion of the city, the number of bricks is just right, no more or less.

Perhaps this brick is to commemorate Yi's wisdom and also represents the wisdom of the ancient people in China, so no one has ever touched this brick.
