An Interpretation of the Feng Shui Story of Zeng Guofan's Ancestors: Golden Rooster Pecking Rice

There have been sayings of geomantic omen in China, especially among the people, who believe in geomantic omen. This may be a culture. After all, Monday's story has been around for thousands of years.

Zeng Guofan, an important official in the late Qing Dynasty, was also crowned with the legend of Feng Shui.

It is said that Zeng Guofan was able to learn from a rural scholar, and his official career was smooth after passing the imperial examination, which was inseparable from the place where his grandfather was buried. It is said that Zeng Guofan's grandfather fell in love with Feng Shui theory in middle age. Seeing that there are no officials and dignitaries in my family for generations, I want to find a place for myself after my death, so that future generations can get rid of the fate of farming for generations.

I always pay attention to this news for myself. He didn't know Feng Shui himself, so he asked the local Mr. Feng Shui (Mr. Feng Shui is our local name for craftsmen who know Feng Shui). Mr. Feng Shui was very surprised. How can an honest and mature man think about this every day? Of course, I unexpectedly wished I had my own opinion in this respect. In general, he will visit places shown to him by local geologists, but he has never seen many places shown to him by local geologists.

Until one day, from an old farmer's mouth, he found a treasure for himself, in Lotus Leaf Town. It's just that the old geologist has been washing his hands for many years, and this land will definitely not tell anyone where it is. I was ecstatic to hear that. I used the method of visiting my humble abode and often went to the old gentleman's house. Of course, there are many gifts, such as chicken, duck and fish. Finally, one day, the old man couldn't help telling Zeng Jingxi that the land was in an emergency, but he told him something more deadly. It turned out that this place was not only valued by the old gentleman, but also a local teacher from other places made the finishing touch here and met the old gentleman.

Two old men looked around with compasses and met in this golden rooster pecking rice. Their meaning coincides with mine, so they agreed that whoever dies first will enter here, but they must not mention it to outsiders. The old man is depressed, but he still wants to make a lot of money for his generous contribution. The old man smiled and said nothing. I'll deposit the money with you first, and I won't know how much it is until you die.

Ceng Jing wants to be confused and not give money? This land is worthless? The old earth teacher saw the confusion and asked, Do you know why I found this place? ? I shook my head unexpectedly. The old man said: One night many years ago, when I was walking here, I saw a big bird spreading its wings on the top of the mountain and landing in a rice field. It pecked the ground three times and flew to the mountain, but it was gone. The next day, I took my compass and settled here.

It's just that there is still a little deficiency in this cave. This mountain is like a golden rooster. If there is no food in front of your mouth, it will fly here sooner or later. That's why I don't want money. If your family is buried here, there will be a pool of rice in front of this chicken's mouth, and there will be money here. Then you can ask your descendants to measure rice and find an empty place. Spread the rice in a moderate area, weigh it and give it how much. ? Many years later, I unexpectedly hoped that my descendants would be buried here after my death. The next day, the flood came and abruptly washed away a pile of white rice-like white sand beaches in front of the chicken mouth. Later generations paid the land inspection fee as promised and bought this beach at the same time.

This is a story that our local grandfather told me when he was a child. In his later years, grandpa lived to be 95 years old, and he is no longer alive. These stories can only be heard and played. Zeng Guofan's official career is actually inseparable from his own efforts. Feng shui theory favors one of them. We often value geomantic omen, but ignore the hard work and efforts of scholars. Pay attention to me and write this story I heard as a child next time.
