Cai Boli, a Feng Shui master, collected 2 million yuan from Li Ka-shing in one sentence. What did he say?

China should be the country with the largest number of non-believers in the world. If you look around us carefully, you will find that most people have no clear beliefs. Although we often talk about going to worship a god, more often than not, it's just a joke. Even if you really worship, it is Buddha, Guanyin, God and Maria who worship blindly.

It can only be said that in the minds of most people in China, praying to God and worshiping Buddha is only a temporary hug, and they are also worried about whether the Buddha will give them a foot. But if all the people in China really only believe in science and don't believe in this illusory theory of ghosts and gods, it is unrealistic.

Most people in China are not religious, but there is one thing that almost everyone in China will abide by, even those who are not religious, and that is what we often call "Feng Shui".

I believe many people have some experience about this. All kinds of rules in China are taboo. Believe it or not, this has become a tradition. Even if you are not a person who believes in ghosts and gods, you will abide by them consciously or unconsciously. In China, no businessman values this "Feng Shui" more than Hongkong.

Become attached to "Feng Shui"

Today, we will talk about Cai Boli, a famous geomantic master in China.

Cai Boli was born in a family of astronomical calendars, and his grandfather was a very famous jurist of astronomical calendars. Originally, Cai Boli was supposed to be the heir of this craft in the family, but like most young people in that era, Cai Boli, when he was young, totally dismissed the idea of Feng Shui as a feudal superstition.

Cai Boli really began to learn astronomical calendar, and it was time for the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in China. At that time, the situation was chaotic, and Cai Boli could not go to school normally, so he had to stay at home and have nothing to do. Seeing that he had nothing to do all day and couldn't find any goals, his father suggested that he learn a degree method, which was an ancestral craft in their family, but it was always bad to lose it to his generation.

Cai Boli is unwilling to start learning this craft. I don't know, but Cai Boli found that this "geomantic calculation" is really a profound knowledge after in-depth study. The more Cai Boli studied, the more fascinated he became with "Feng Shui", and the more magical he felt.

It is because of this interest that Cai Boli has made continuous progress in geomantic calculation and finally made great achievements. Gradually, Cai Boli became more and more famous. Many famous Hong Kong tycoons will invite Cai Boli to help them calculate their wealth. Even Cai Boli was specially invited to make a decision on the location of many important buildings in Hong Kong.

2 million "choose a day"

As for Hong Kong businessmen who came to Cai Boli for help, Li Ka-shing should be the most famous one.

Li Ka-shing became attached because Li Ka-shing's wife, Zhuang, died of illness. Zhuang's grave was destroyed a few days ago, and Li Ka-shing came to rebuild his dead wife's grave. He hopes that Mr. Cai Lao can help him "choose a day", that is, choose a good day to start repairing the grave.

But no one expected that one day was chosen, and the old man asked for 2 million. Even Li Ka-shing, the richest man in the world, was taken aback by the ridiculously high asking price.

After seeing Li Ka-shing's expression, Cai Boli just said, "Your dead wife died miserably." He didn't say anything, but Li Ka-shing froze for a while after hearing this sentence, and then he didn't know what he was thinking, so he quickly paid the money.

For this matter, Cai Lao dragged his old body and worked with his daughter for a long time. Not only did Li bring all his birthdays here, but even his friends didn't leave behind. They also wrote down their birthdays and watched them again. After careful calculation, this day has finally been decided.

After this incident, the relationship between Li Ka-shing and Mr. Cai Boli began to get closer. Since then, Li Ka-shing always likes to come to Cai Boli for help. Even the new building in Li Ka-shing was chosen according to Mr. Cai Boli's suggestion.

Tong sheng's editor

Cai Boli's greatest achievement is not to help these celebrities avoid misfortune, but to publish a new book every year. Many people may wonder, a book written by Mr. Feng Shui? Or is it published every year? What book is this?

Someone may have guessed. Yes, this book is called Huang Li, also known as Tong Sheng in Cantonese.

Writing almanac is not an easy task, especially because almanac is not just a calendar. There are not only solar calendars and lunar calendars that we are familiar with, but also various solar terms, such as dry branches, stars, nine planets, fleeting time, traditional age, good or bad luck and so on.

These all have their own set of calculation processes, and they have great influence, and there is no room for any mistakes in the writing process. Each calendar takes Mr Cai Boli almost a whole year. After calculating this one, he will immediately start calculating the next one, with almost no rest time in between.

Tong Sheng, edited by the old gentleman, has an annual circulation of over 654.38 million+00,000 copies in Hong Kong. In 2065.438+03, Tong Sheng, edited by Cai Boli, was officially listed as an intangible cultural heritage by the Guangdong provincial government.

The old man is also a famous philanthropist. Cai Boli didn't take the 2 million he got from Li Ka-shing as his own, but used the money as the original capital of a folk charity "Hong Kong Shunlong Renze Foundation" he led. Later, a lot of money donated by the rich in Hong Kong was deposited in the foundation.

This money is mainly used to help poor patients and help poor students go to school. However, by the end of 2008, Vanke, which was established only one year ago, had donated 3.43 million yuan.

In his later years, the old man handed over the work of compiling the calendar to his eldest daughter, Cai Xinghua, and began to concentrate on studying the ancient astronomical instrument, the "armillary sphere". After successful research, he presented Lin Chaoying, director of the Observatory, with his first successfully cast armillary sphere.

summary

Cai Lao died on July 26th, 20 18 at the age of 96. Numerous Hong Kong tycoons and dignitaries attended the funeral of the old man, and the flower card of his best friend Li Ka-shing was placed in the center of his tombstone. The death of Mr. Wang means that another legendary master has left us.

Fortunately, however, Mr. Wang's eldest daughter inherited Mr. Wang's mantle, which enabled Feng Shui, the most magical technology in China, to continue. In the future, this craft will continue to be passed down in the hands of generations of young people.
