Is the rural feng shui good after the rain?
Zeng's grandfather, Zeng Jingxi, is an ordinary farmer. He rises in the field with his back to the loess every day and makes a sunset glow. His life is barely enough. When Zeng Guofan was five years old, his grandfather could not afford to get sick and finally died. However, Zeng's family is not rich and expensive, and he has no ability to choose a good cemetery. He had to find a wasteland and bury Zeng Jingxi.
On the day of burial, it rained heavily for three days and even caused flash floods. Fortunately, Grandpa Zeng's cemetery was still relatively high, so it was not affected. However, a strange phenomenon appeared. Under the influence of heavy rain, pebbles on the mountain were washed down the hillside, and Grandpa Zeng's grave was covered with white pebbles. This strange phenomenon attracted a feng shui master.
The master took out his compass and looked at it carefully. The terrain around Grandpa Zeng's tomb looks like a rooster, and Grandpa Zeng's tomb is on the rooster's head. Nowadays, white pebbles, like white rice, are called golden roosters pecking rice in feng shui layout. This is the last game in feng shui. The descendants of the Zeng family must be rich or expensive, and the Zeng family has developed since then.
Sure enough, without too many teenagers, Zeng Guofan and his ninth brother Ceng Guoquan became governors of the two rivers and became a generation of provinces. Among them, Zeng Guofan even became the governor of Zhili, also served as a cabinet college student, and became the first minister of the late Qing Dynasty, while the Zeng family produced more than 20 outstanding talents in fifty years.
