The Story of Rainstorm Fortune Telling in Henan _ Rainstorm Fortune Telling in Henan
In ancient China, in order to consolidate his rule, the emperor would vigorously advocate an idea that was beneficial to rule, including some metaphysical ideas. Geomantic omen in metaphysics is the oldest metaphysical thought in the history of the Chinese nation. Emperors of past dynasties believed in geomantic omen very much, which led some geomantic omen to reach the highest level. The emperor's belief in Feng Shui also led to the widespread spread of Feng Shui thought among the people.
The geomantic theory of these houses and tombs still exists today. Some people believe it, while others naturally don't. But in fact, as far as Feng Shui itself is concerned, it is not a superstitious idea, but also a scientific one. For example, in the process of exploring geography, we need to observe the earth's magnetic field and use geographical knowledge to judge the geomantic omen of a place.
Ancient people's application of geomantic omen was mostly seen in the construction of houses and buildings, so many people invited geomantic omen masters to explore the geographical location when building houses. Feng shui is not only used in houses, but also in the choice of tombs. In ancient geomantic omen, the geomantic omen of tombs was also very particular. People believe that if ancestors choose good feng shui graves, their descendants will be able to live a better life. When an old man was buried, it suddenly began to rain heavily. The fortune teller passed by and said that this family would be a big official. This statement really came true decades later. When the old man was buried, it suddenly rained heavily. Fortune teller: this family is bound to be a big official, and the consequences of decades have really come true.
This buried old man, who later became the family of a senior official, was Zeng Guofan. Zeng Guofan's ancestors were farmers. At that time, they could be said to be at the bottom of society and lived in poverty. Being buried in a rainstorm was what happened when Zeng Guofan's grandfather was buried. When his grandfather was buried, it suddenly rained heavily. A fortune teller happened to pass by here, looked around and said, This family will be a big official in the future. This sentence was verified decades later. Zeng Guofan was a minister of four ZTE countries. In the development and transformation of modern China, Zeng Guofan had a great reputation, and there were many controversies about him. But what is worthy of recognition is that Zeng Guofan did have his own value skills, and he did contribute to the development of China.
The spread of this anecdote also verified some statements in geomantic metaphysics. It is because of this story that many people believe in Feng Shui. Feng shui is actually a kind of metaphysics from ancient times to the present, although it is said that science should be recognized and superstition should be denied. However, this concept seems to have been engraved in the minds of China people. There are still many people who believe in Feng Shui theory, especially those who live in rural areas. When you build your own house or grave, please ask Mr. Feng Shui to check whether the site selection is reasonable and beneficial to the development of future generations.
In fact, Feng Shui is not just spoken by mouth. It is not easy to become a master of Feng Shui. To understand astronomy and geography involves a wide range of knowledge. Until now, there are not many real feng shui masters. And if you want to become a Feng Shui master, you need to accumulate in many aspects and check it on the spot. Many feng shui masters travel all the year round and see all the mountains and rivers in the world. Not to mention, in ancient times, there were even fewer Mr. Feng Shui with real skills. Mr. Feng Shui, who said that he was particularly clever, was highly valued in ancient China, because the ancient emperors of China paid great attention to this aspect, not only in the practice of large-scale buildings, but also in the geographical location selection and design of imperial tombs. China's ancient masters of metaphysics are generally from extraordinary backgrounds, either with background or with sufficient financial resources, and I want to be able to delve into many fields. This requirement is not too high.
The metaphysics of feng shui, everyone's views are different, specific to everyone, or depends on personal ideas. As for whether Zeng Guofan's affair is really the cause of his ancestral grave, people have different opinions. After all, Zeng Guofan himself has a very profound knowledge.
