Some places in Taiwan Province and Fujian like to be named after Niumian Mountain, such as Niumian Mountain, Niumian Lane and Niumian Lane. It turns out that the word Niumian has something to do with Feng Shui.

The chapter "Adding and Deleting Oracle Inscriptions" is about "Where did you get the land?" Sometimes there is a saying: "When the father is at noon, the cows will sleep in the southeast." The "beef noodle" here refers to the auspicious place you are looking for. Where is the divination place? Taking parents as gods, Siwu belongs to the south-southeast in orientation, so my father is near Siwu, and the auspicious place is in the southeast (strictly speaking, it is the southeast and the afternoon is the south).

The theory of "Niu Mian" originated from a story in history. The book "A Weekly Visit to the Book of Jin" was published: "At the beginning, Tao Kan was weak and difficult to be buried, and the family suddenly lost its cow, and I don't know where. When I met an old father, I said, "I saw a cow sleeping in the mud on the mountain of outpost war." If buried, it will be a very important person. "

Tao Kan, a famous Jin Dynasty soldier, was born in a poor family when he was young. His father died young and he made a living by his mother's textile. The above story appeared when he buried his father in his early years. Under the guidance of his family's cattle and an expert, he buried his father in Niumianji. Tao Kan's later achievements have something to do with this land of geomantic omen.

Tao Kan, who was born in poverty, was constantly promoted because of his active crusade against rebellion, and finally ranked as Qiu, who was in charge of military affairs in Bazhou and served as the secretariat of Jingjiang two states. This was an exception in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, where clans monopolized high positions.
