Guo Pu, the greatest Feng Shui master in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, what was his final outcome?

Guo Pu is well-read and versatile. It is said that he is good at predicting prophets and knows many strange magic tricks. He was a famous alchemist at that time. It's a pity that people are jealous of talents and die in middle age. There are many legends about Bian Xiao's Guo Pu. Let's take a look at the story of Feng Shui master Guo Pu.

There is a folk saying about the origin of Guo Pu's talents. It is said that Guo's ancestor was the Duke of Zhou in the early years of the Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Wenwang, the Duke of Zhou who plays the gossip the day after tomorrow, has a deep talent. Every thousand years, he will pin his soul on the descendants of the Guo family, and Guo Pu is such a lucky one. Guo Pu and these visionary talents, although he escaped the war, also hurt his so-called life.

The "Eight Kings Rebellion" and "Five Rebellions" in the history of the Jin Dynasty involved more than half of the Central Plains in the war. When Guo Pu was only about 20 years old, he had a premonition that there would be disaster here in Hedong, so he contacted dozens of relatives and friends to move south collectively. In this regard, there is a record in the history books: "A slap in the face, a sigh:' Hehe! Guizhou and Lebanon will lose their species, and mulberries will be in short supply! "

Of course, it was not easy for everyone to start, so he went to the then general Zhao Gu for help. It happened that Zhao Gu died of his beloved BMW, and he was in a bad mood and no one was there. But Guo Pu said he could bring BMW back to life. Zhao Gu was surprised and suspicious, and finally let him try. Twenty or thirty strong men in Guo Pu, with long poles, went to places 30 miles away to catch things. Everyone is confused. Guo Pu said that catching it would save the horse. Sure enough, those strong men brought back a strange animal similar to a monkey, but it was not a monkey. When it saw a horse, it "hissed and sucked its nose", probably blowing and sucking its nose. After a while, the horse was alive and "excited as usual". Zhao Gu is of course very happy, "give more money". So Guo Gong became famous. In the history books, this is the first time that Guo Pu showed his magical talent. This is the first appearance.

After Guo Pu moved south, he finally settled in Xuancheng County and joined the army as the local satrap, that is, the aide. At this time, Si Marui, the nephew of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, rebuilt a small court in Jiankang (now Nanjing), which was called "Eastern Jin Dynasty" in history. The power of the Eastern Jin emperor was never consolidated, and it was supported by aristocratic families who crossed the north and the south, among which the royal family was the most powerful. Guo Pu finally transferred to the account of General Wang Dun of the Wangs, and became a staff officer.

In the second year of Jin Mingdi Taining (AD 324), Wang Dun, who was stationed outside the city, wanted to arise and rebel. Because Guo Pu is famous for his "five elements, astronomy and divination, which can turn disasters into disasters", we should also examine Guo Pu's position and attitude if we want him to make a successful divination. After all, he wants to see if you support following or oppose betrayal. Divination is just an excuse.

Guo Pu's answer is "no". Wang Dun once suspected that Guo Pu was colluding with the imperial court, and asked him to give him another divination to see how long he could live. Guo replied: "If something happens in the Ming Dynasty, it will soon be a disaster. If you live in Wuchang (now Ezhou, Hubei), your life is unpredictable. " Tell him straight out that you can't rise up and rebel. Wang Dun was furious and asked, "What is the geometry of Qingshou?" Said, "I will die today." So Wang Dun, in a fit of pique, killed Guo Pu that day.

Guo Pu died so easily. It seems a little divorced from reality to modern people. Wang Dun died of anger and remorse about two months after he got off to a bad start. Guo Pu was right. Guo Gong's tragic death was not "living in truth and detached from things" as Taoist Ge Hong said, so he could "live his whole life". This is the sad decline and fate of alchemists. But this kind of integrity, which is not afraid of power politics, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and unyielding in life and death, has indeed reached a higher level of magic. If in any dynasty, the five techniques of the Book of Changes were covered with political color, then the mysterious value of the five techniques of the Book of Changes to predict the future is also dying out.

Another hobby of Guo Pu is debauchery. Why do you say he indulges in debauchery? Guo Pu had two wives. The doctor gave birth to the eldest son, three sons and five sons, and the second wife gave birth to the second son and four sons. When crossing the south, the second wife accompanied her second son and fourth son. The other three sons stayed at home.

According to historical records, once, Guo Pu fell in love with someone's handmaid, but she was embarrassed to ask for it, so she made a spell with beans. Every morning, when the host family gets up, he will find thousands of little people walking around his house. A closer look reveals nothing. Guo Pu said that the problem lies with the handmaid, and it would be all right to sell it cheaply. That's what the host family had to do. After getting the handmaid, Guo Pu drew a sign and threw it into the well. He saw those little people jumping into the well with their hands tied behind their backs.

It can be seen that Guo Gong is not only geomantic omen, but also divination. This Taoist incantation may have been taught by Master Kate, but such a prank seems a bit rogue.

In addition, Guo Pu wandered between poetry and fu. 1700 years later, Guo Pu left his name in the cultural history of our country. He annotated Er Ya and Shan Hai Jing, and now they can be found everywhere in Ci Hai. He initiated the poetic style of wandering immortals in the history of China literature. However, in the fairy life and fantasy fairyland he yearns for, he can still see a lonely literati figure who is "although the silicon is extraordinary, the bright moon is hard to cast". There must be such a thing as his cultivation of spells and painstaking cultivation. These skills are also the reason why they are convinced. Yuan Di and Ming Di, two emperors of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and many officials loyal to the imperial court appreciated him very much and often asked him for advice and divination. During his life, he compiled more than 60 divination tests, and his name "Lindong" has been passed down through the ages.
