King Qianlong, why did you put your coffin askew?

The main reason why Qianlong chose to put his coffin sideways is that he wanted the place where he put his coffin to be better in geomantic omen. In fact, in ancient times, many kings believed in geomantic omen, especially after the death of the king, they all hoped that their burial place would be a treasure trove of geomantic omen, so as to ensure that their country would be handed down from generation to generation and to bless their future generations.

when Qianlong was alive, he actually began to prepare his own tomb. However, according to the survey results of the geomantic master of Qianlong at that time, in fact, this place was already occupied by his ancestors Shunzhi. Of course, as Qianlong, it is impossible to remove his ancestors' coffins and put them here. This is actually a big deal. So I found several feng shui masters to discuss together. As a result, I came up with a better method, that is, to put my coffin sideways. It is said that this can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.

In fact, this coffin of Qianlong is also a wonderful one, because the tombs of kings in past dynasties have never seen anything like this. Most kings' coffins are placed in the center of the tomb, and from the common sense, it may be better to put them in the center of Feng Shui. In fact, at the beginning, many people speculated that the main reason why Qianlong put his coffin like this was to prevent some grave robbers from robbing the tomb, but this statement obviously didn't work.

Because we can see that there are four coffin stones around the coffin of Qianlong, because of these things, the coffin can't be moved at all, so if a grave robber really comes in, there is no way to open the coffin at all. Therefore, the only conclusion is that this coffin was designed in this way at the time of design, which is why many people think that Qianlong is considering the piece of Feng Shui, so that Feng Shui masters will design their own coffins in this way.
