Lead: In the feudal society of China, people were superstitious and believed in fate. If a person's life is not good, it must be changed by other means. There is also a saying that one life, two luck, three feng shui, four products and five studies. Life and luck are innate and cannot be changed. The remaining method to change fate is geomantic omen, which means not only geomantic omen at home, but also geomantic omen at ancestral graves.
Zeng Guofan was a famous political and military writer in the late Qing Dynasty. Before he was born, a fortune teller saw their ancestral grave and threatened that there would be a big official in their family. It was fulfilled by Zeng Guofan. This story begins with Zeng Guofan's father's grandfather, that is, Zeng Guofan's great-grandfather. Zeng Guofan's great-grandfather once feasted, but it was not very outstanding. He is just an ordinary farmer. Unlike ordinary farmers who make a living by renting fields, they once had their own fields. In the era of valuing agriculture over commerce, everything is easy with land. I used to be very pragmatic, and I was also very pragmatic about crops. His fields are always richer than others'. In this way, slowly relying on the grain in the field, the Zeng family soon became famous in the local area.
Once an honest man, he lived by farming all his life, but he failed to teach his children well. His son Zeng Yuping is a real dude. Because I have money in my hand, I often spend a lot of money outside, with other dude. Giving birth to a younger son was the most troublesome thing in my life. Later, Zeng Yuping was taught a lesson by his father and then ran away from home, but he didn't want to be gossiped by so-called friends. Generally speaking, he is nothing more than money. This made Zeng Yuping suddenly see the true face of so-called friends. When I got home alone, I found that my father was so angry that he couldn't afford to get sick and felt more guilty. I changed my mind, listened to my father and acted in a down-to-earth manner.
After Zeng Yuping's prodigal son returned, his family was originally harmonious, but he didn't want to have a conflict with the local squire. Later, he was cheated by a scholar who wrote a complaint and lost the lawsuit. The Zeng family was very angry. After winning the lawsuit, the squire told them that he had two scholar sons, which touched Zeng's heart. Later, I asked all the children in my family to go to school in the hope of becoming a scholar. Later, when Zeng died, Zeng Yuping found a cemetery to bury his father. But I don't want to. Soon after, it rained heavily and the crops around the cemetery were washed away, which made the Zeng family very scared. At this time, a fortune teller came and said that this cemetery is a treasure, so that they don't have to worry or change the cemetery. This made the Zeng family feel at ease.
Conclusion: It may confirm the fortune teller's words. Although Zeng Yuping's son didn't have a scholar in high school, his grandson Zeng Guofan was a scholar in the eighteenth year of Daoguang, although he failed many times. After that, he rose all the way and became an important figure in the late Qing Dynasty. At the same time, the famous Li also came out from Zeng Guofan's army. Although I don't know if the Zeng family cemetery is a treasure trove of geomantic omen, the fortune teller's words have indeed come true.
