Where was Su Dongpo buried after his death? What supernatural events happened in Su Dongpo's tomb?
After Su Dongpo died, he was buried in a place like Lianhua Mountain in Henan. This place is very magical. It is neither the place where Su Dongpo died nor the location of the Su family's ancestral tomb. The main reason why he chose such a place was because he and his brother Su Che both felt that this place was a treasure of Feng Shui, and they decided to be buried here when they visited this place before. And the sound of thunder and rain can be heard from Su Dongpo's tomb on sunny days, which can also be regarded as a supernatural event.
Su Dongpo's life was quite wandering. He was indeed a person with high knowledge and great ideals and ambitions, but he was unwilling to join in with those corrupt officials, so he fell into trouble many times in his life. Demoted. His death was due to the recurrence of epilepsy. The place where he died at that time was Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, but the location of his grave was Lianhua Mountain in Henan Province. He discovered it by chance while traveling with his younger brother Su Che. This place is the location of Little Emei Mountain, which is very similar to Mount Emei in Su Dongpo's hometown, so being able to be buried here after death also gives you the intimacy of being buried in your hometown.
At the same time, Lianhua Mountain in Henan is really a geomantic treasure. It is a place where Taoism is very prosperous, and there are many Taoist temples nearby. Moreover, it is surrounded by mountains. The shape of the mountains is very strange, like a lotus platform, and each mountain has a place where Taoists specialize in performing rituals. So in general, this place is really a geomantic treasure that combines the right time and place. It is very in line with the requirements of the people of the Northern Song Dynasty to find their own burial place. Therefore, Su Dongpo made an agreement with his brother at that time to be buried here after his death. .
With the burial of Su Dongpo, this place became even more unusual. People often hear the sound of violent storms coming from Su Dongpo's tomb on sunny days, which is very strange. At that time, Zhang Du, the magistrate of Jiaxian County, wanted to go to Su Dongpo's tomb to pay homage to him. He stayed near the tomb at night and suddenly heard the sound of a violent storm outside. However, when he went out to check, he found that it was clear outside and there was no wind. There was no wind and no rain, so word of this supernatural phenomenon spread. However, there is currently no scientific explanation for the real cause of this incident.
