Maple leaves blowing, breeze bleak, hello everyone, I'm maple leaves. China has had a mystical feng shui tradition since ancient times. This statement is sometimes confusing, and sometimes it feels witty.
In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, Hong Xiuquan launched the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, relying on the call of "all the people in the world have fields under heaven, have fields to plow, eat together, have clothes to wear, and everywhere is uneven", and soon swept the southern territories of the Qing Dynasty. And the burial place of Hong Xiuquan's grandfather seems to have an unusual role. Lai Wenjun, a feng shui master of the Song Dynasty, once left an ancient poem in one place, predicting that a king would emerge in 600 years, which seems to be related to this.
There is a legend about the ancestral tomb of Hong Xiuquan. During the Jiaqing period, the whole family of the Hong people in Guangdong moved to Fuyuanshui Village, and an old man died and was buried on the Furong Ridge. This unintentional act seems to have done something magical. In 1851, the old man's grandson, Hong Xiuquan, launched the Taiping Rebellion, which seemed to fulfill Lai Wenjun's prophecy.
The Qing Dynasty was at a loss for momentum in the face of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so some people mentioned the feng shui legend of Hong Xiuquan's ancestral tomb. Some people suggested destroying the ancestral tomb to break its feng shui momentum. However, in ancient times, touching ancestral tombs was a taboo thing, and this proposal was not immediately put into practice.
Until the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom became more and more powerful, the Qing Dynasty court once again secretly instructed the local ** to cut off the "dragon vein" of Hong Xiuquan's ancestral tomb. The feng shui treasure of Furong Mountain, even if it is damaged, still allows Hong Xiuquan to rule for more than ten years. The whole court believed that the destruction of Hong Xiuquan's ancestral tomb played an important role in the extermination of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. However, the matter of Feng Shui is still mysterious and cannot be verified, so it can only be regarded as hearsay.
