A strange phenomenon occurred when Yuan Tiangang chose the cemetery. He dropped a copper coin and knew the result. What is the meaning of this?
When Yuan Tiangang was observing the sky at night and helping Wu Zetian choose a cemetery, suddenly a burst of purple smoke rose from a place in the night sky, so Yuan Tiangang threw a copper coin as a mark, because he knew this It is a geomantic treasure place, and the descendants of those buried here will be blessed. So Yuan Tiangang went back and reported it to Empress Wu Zetian, who asked people to build his mausoleum here, and this place would be the future Qianling Mausoleum. After that, many people wanted to go to Qianling Mausoleum to find out what was going on, but they couldn't enter the tomb. So this place really has magical power to protect Qianling from being stolen.
When Wu Zetian was the emperor, she never forgot that Li Zhi's wish was to be buried back in Chang'an, and Wu Zetian's capital was in Luoyang at that time. So in order to choose a cemetery for Li Zhi, Wu Zetian recruited capable people, and Yuan Tiangang knew how to do this, so Wu Zetian asked Yuan Tiangang to go to Chang'an to choose a cemetery for Li Zhi.
Everyone knows that Yuan Tiangang knows Feng Shui, and he can easily do these things, so Yuan Tiangang went to Chang'an, but he searched for several months and couldn't find a good place. At this moment, he stared at the sky in a daze at night. Unexpectedly, something magical happened. There was purple smoke rising from the top of a mountain in the sky. He thought that this was the purple smoke coming from the east, which was a good omen, so he made a mark with a copper coin and went back to follow Wu Zetian. .
Later, the Qianling Mausoleum was built in that place. After that, many people wanted to go to Qianling Mausoleum to hunt for treasures, but to no avail. Tomb robbers could not find the entrance to Qianling Mausoleum. This incident was spread very miraculously by many people, so many people later knew Yuan Tiangang's name and knew this story.
