Is it true that there were guarding stones in tombs in the past?
Yes, the Shoushan Stone Cemetery also pays attention to the "wind and water". The direction of Beijing's wind and water is northwest, so the Ming Tombs are located in Changping District, northwest of Beijing. The northwest is determined based on the central axis of Beijing. This central axis starts from the Drum Tower in the north, passes through the Palace Museum and Qianmen, and ends at Yongding Gate in the south. The center point is the Forbidden City, also known as the Forbidden City.
Don’t choose a cemetery site in a low-lying area
The terrain should be slightly higher. This is to prevent dew on rainy days. After water enters the tomb, it will damage the tomb passage. It’s troublesome to repair again.
Cemetery feng shui focuses on cleanliness
Feng shui is good in places with endless and wide sight lines; modern highways are everywhere. Originally, the feng shui of cemeteries was very good, but once the roads were built, the feng shui changed. If it is destroyed, the road can cut off the dragon's veins, and the aura of the long-term traffic will be scattered. Therefore, if there is a road behind the tomb, it is unlucky. The dragon's veins behind it are broken, and there is no backing, so you are destined to have to rely on yourself; here it also depends on the road. For example, small roads are rarely used by pedestrians, or they are expressways, first-class highways, or second-class highways. The impact of small highways is small, and the impact of the latter is very serious.
The principle of being surrounded by mountains and rivers
Being surrounded by mountains and rivers is a beautiful environment that people generally yearn for. It is also the basic principle of a good cemetery, which is reflected in the Feng Shui theory. "The owner of the mountain and the small amount of water control the wealth", which means that if you choose a mountain, you can make people in future generations prosperous; if you choose water, you can make a lot of money. Stone is the bones of the mountain, and water is the blood of the mountain. The benevolent enjoy the mountain, and the wise enjoy the water. Water is the source of life. Only when mountains have water can they have life. A mountain without water seems to have no soul. Therefore, there is a saying in Feng Shui: If there are mountains but no water, don’t look for land. Before you look at the mountains, look at the water first. It can be seen that "the owner of the mountain and the small amount of water control the wealth" is the simplest and most incisive summary of the investigation of cemetery Feng Shui. Some Feng Shui theories that focus on regulating Qi emphasize hiding wind and gathering Qi. The so-called: "The method of Feng Shui is to obtain water first, and to store wind second." The ancients believed that the larger the water surface, the thicker the gathering of Qi, and the greater the wealth.
A good Feng Shui cemetery has a backing
That is, it has a mountain behind it, an open front, mountains on the left and right surrounded by water, and dragons coming from far away, and sand mountains on the left and right to protect the wind. Qi, there is water flowing around or flowing in front, the water should be slow rather than rushing, the ground door should be closed, and the sky gate should be opened. This is the best feng shui for the cemetery.
When choosing a good Feng Shui tomb, first look at the direction of the coming and going water, then divide the gold according to the seat direction of the tomb, and match the yin and yang and the five elements. It must be in line with the Feng Shui to benefit future generations.
