In Ghost Blowing Lights, a captain touched gold, lit a candle and inserted it in the southeast corner. Why is it inserted in the southeast corner?

The reason why candles should be lit in the southeast corner is also related to ancient burial customs. In the gossip, the southeast is located in the gossip, representing the wind. Generally, the door of the cemetery will open in this direction, so the southeast is a place with frequent air circulation.

The oxygen content in the southeast is also relatively high. If all the candles in this position are extinguished, the oxygen content in other places will naturally be lower, so evacuate as soon as possible.

The southeast corner is near the tomb gate. If the candle suddenly goes out, the person who touches the gold can also tell the direction according to the position of the candle before, and quickly move to the southeast and leave the tomb.

In a word, people who touch gold light candles in the southeast corner to improve their survival rate underground, using science and Feng Shui knowledge, not really blowing a candle.

Touch the captain's rules

The captain who touches gold should be good at finding graves. When digging a tomb, he will light a candle in the tomb, put it in the southeast corner, and then start to touch the gold. If the cock crows and the candle goes out, the property must be put back in its original place, kowtow respectfully for three times and return empty-handed. As soon as the cock crows, the light goes out. You can only enter the tomb once, and you can't enter it again. If you meet peers, support each other, but the first person who chooses the Ming (ghost) device is preferred.

Of course, this is the description in the story of "Ghost Blows the Lantern", but in fact, Muye Zhang once clarified that he made up the rule that the crow's lantern would go out without touching gold, and there was no such rule in history. However, many stories of grave robbery are still quoted, which shows the extraordinary place of ghost blowing lights.
