Why was Meng Tian, the first general of Qin, killed? Was the dragon vein of the Qin Dynasty destroyed?
The theory of Feng Shui has always been mysterious. In China, even people who don’t believe in Feng Shui have a high chance of having their ancestors’ graves dug up. There has always been a folk legend that one of the important reasons why Qin Shihuang was able to unify the world and destroy the six kingdoms was that the Qin State had dug up the tombs of the Zhou Dynasty and cut off the dragon veins of the Zhou Dynasty.
Is this nonsense, or is there a trace?
During the era of King Qin Wu, the Great Qin Empire once entered the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. After that, because King Qin Wu died suddenly while carrying the tripod, burying him in a good place became an important issue.
At that time, some magicians suggested that in order to protect the Qin Empire's ten thousand-year foundation and realize the great cause of unifying the world, it would be better to cut off the dragon's veins in the Zhou Dynasty. The Qin royal family asked the warlock to find it. Finally, they discovered the tomb of King Wen of Zhou, the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty. Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Qin Dynasty dug tombs and built tombs for King Wu of Qin.
In order to keep it secret, the Qin royal family kept the digging of Zhou Dynasty ancestral tombs a secret, and almost all the insiders were killed. There is no record of this matter in official history, but there are vague descriptions in some rumors in unofficial history.
What is the truth?
Not long ago, the archaeological team visited the "Zhou Tomb" in the north of Xianyang City. The archaeological team was surprised to find that most of the items unearthed from this tomb, which was said to be from the early Western Zhou Dynasty, were from the middle and late Warring States Period, and were not in the style of the early Western Zhou Dynasty at all. For thousands of years, it has been considered the tomb of King Wen of Zhou, but it is actually the tomb of a Qin monarch. After further research, it is basically consistent with the rumors about King Wu of Qin in unofficial histories.
Facts have proved that this operation of digging ancestral graves and breaking the dragon veins was indeed effective, and the Qin State, which was in desperate situation, finally unified the world.
After Qin Shihuang unified the country, he was also worried that his dragon veins would be cut off by others. He sent magicians across the country to explore and cut off other dragon veins.
At that time, some warlocks said that small dragon veins had been discovered in the Yunyang area, and that the right man might appear in a few hundred years. Qin Shihuang immediately sent troops to Yunyang, destroying the local feng shui and building twists and turns in the local roads. Later Warlock suggested that simply changing the landscape conditions was not enough. The place name needs to be changed. Qin Shihuang immediately ordered Yunyang to be renamed Qu'a.
As a result, there were still many emperors in Yunyang. For example, Sun Quan, the great emperor of Wu Dong, Xiao Daocheng, the great emperor of Southern Qi, and Liang Wu, the great emperor of Southern Liang, were all from Danyang.
So, why did Qin Shihuang spend so much effort to protect the Qin Dynasty forever?
It is said that Meng Tian built the Great Wall and made some unauthorized changes, thereby cutting off the dragon vein of the Qin Empire. So when Meng Tian received the death order, he lamented: "The crime of heaven should be punished with death. From Lintao to Liaodong, the city is thousands of miles away, where is there no Jedi lineage? This is a heinous crime."
Many contemporary people regard Meng Tian’s words as nonsense to cover up the truth. In fact, after a person dies, the calligraphy is good and the Feng Shui theory is mysterious. What Meng Tian said before his death may not be unreasonable.
