The Feng Shui Legend of Zhu Yuanzhang's father
This ancestral grave is that of Zhu Yuanzhang. Everyone knows the identity of Zhu Yuanzhang. Grass-roots emperors ascended the ninth five-year plan throne step by step from peasant uprising, and his life experience can be said to be a legend. There are many legends about this grass-roots emperor in history. It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang was able to achieve the position of emperor and create the Ming Dynasty because the place chosen by his ancestral grave was very good in geomantic omen, which blessed the Zhujiajian family for hundreds of years. Legend has been passed around, giving this ancestral grave a very mysterious color. No one has ever dared to steal the ancestral graves here for fear of ruining the life of Feng Shui. It is said that it was really mysterious to build high-speed rail here in those days.
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had a hard time. He was born and raised in the most fatuous period of the Yuan Dynasty. Heavy taxes and famine make it impossible for people to survive. Zhu Yuanzhang's father starved to death because of famine. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's family was so poor that even his father's coffin could not be buried.
Here comes the legendary experience. It is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang buried his father, the weather was fine and it suddenly rained cats and dogs. Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he was sad in the rain and had to spend money on treatment. He can only leave his father's body in the heavy rain. He found a gazebo to shelter from the rain. As a result, a mudslide happened on the mountain, which just buried Zhu Yuanzhang's father. Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was probably providence, so he set up a stone tablet here as a grave.
Later it was the history of Zhu Yuanzhang's family. He became a monk and begged, wandering around the Central Plains until the peasant uprising against the Yuan Dynasty. When Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, he wanted to move his father's grave. When he was ready to do this, someone told him that the feng shui here was very good and could bless him to soar to wealth. People in ancient times liked to listen to this and dared not disobey it. Zhu Yuanzhang no longer Tan Qian grave, but renovated the place to make himself no longer a desolate grave.
Later, when Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he officially changed his name to the Ming Tombs, and it has never changed. Because the geomantic omen here is excellent, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu's children and grandchildren to be buried here. There are 16 emperors buried here, and the scale is quite spectacular.
Ming Taizu's tomb is of great value in the history of our country, and it is well protected because of its complexity and many organs. Even in the Qing dynasty, the government sent troops to protect tombs of past dynasties, which can be said to be quite in place. It is said that when the high-speed railway was built, in order not to destroy Ming Taizu Mausoleum, it was decided to spend more money and make a detour, which was enough to show the preciousness and importance here.
