When I was a child, in a special era, I didn't read for a few days, and the little "knowledge" I got was all thanks to an uncle in my neighborhood.
Uncle traveled north and south and saw a lot of things. Every summer night, it happens that the uncle is at home, and next to the high grain pile, many villagers gather, waiting for the uncle to "talk about the ancients".
The story of the uncle, measured by the core values of socialism today, is fully qualified. Because, most of what he talked about was the content of persuading people to be kind and beautiful.
I remember that the uncle told such a story, saying that in the past - the beginning of the uncle is inevitably these two words, there is a feng shui gentleman, the red sun is scorching, long journey, dry mouth, to a certain mountain village, look at it, there are only three or two households, two or three dilapidated thatched huts, see one of the old women, while coaxing the grandson, while feeding the chickens, then ask the old woman for a bowl of water to quench your thirst. The old woman didn't say a word, walked into the house, brought a bowl of hot water, handed it to Mr. Feng Shui, and asked him to drink it slowly, not in a hurry, I want it, and.
Mr. Feng Shui served the water and felt that the bowl was soup, and he couldn't eat it immediately, and there was still a little rice bran floating in the bowl. Mr. Feng Shui is not angry, but after all, he is a passerby, and if he asks for help, it is inconvenient for him to have a seizure, so he can only blow the rice bran in the bowl with his mouth, and drink while blowing.
After drinking the water, the old woman asked again, if you want to eat something?For example, sweet potato porridge and dried radish, in the old woman's opinion, this is already everything;Mr. Feng Shui took out the dry food he had brought from his blanket and muttered to himself, "Don't play tricks on me again."
Mr. Feng Shui intended to teach the old woman a lesson, so he "flattered" the old woman and said that he looked around the old woman's thatched house, there was a piece of feng shui treasure, let the old woman pass away, and bury it here, so as to ensure that the descendants of Ding will prosper and be promoted to become rich.
The old woman was naturally very grateful, and told Mr. Feng Shui's "sincerity" to her son who came back from chopping wood. She never expected that the so-called feng shui treasure land that Mr. Feng Shui was referring to was actually a "dead hole", where the ancestors were buried, and their children would inevitably be cut off.
Within a few years, the old woman passed away, and the son complied with the instructions and buried his mother in the "treasure land" selected by Mr. Feng ShuiIn a few years, the two grandsons of the old woman, one of whom was a showman and the other was a lifter, went away and flew high, and it was really "the golden phoenix that flew out of the mountain nest".
Many years later, Mr. Feng Shui passed by again, of course, he wanted to see what was going on. However, the scene in front of him made him dumbfounded: the previous thatched hut has been replaced by a big house with red bricks and green tiles, and a flagpole has been erected at the door, which is the treatment of the best of the best.
Mr. Feng Shui doubted his vision and also doubted his own level. So, he pretended to be a "passerby" and walked into the house of the old woman's son. He looked at him left and right, knocked on the side, and asked the old woman's son why their family was prosperous and rich for a long timeThe old woman's son said that his mother told him that one year, a feng shui gentleman was sweating profusely and came to his door to ask for water to drink, and she didn't dare to give him cold water, so she gave him a bowl of boiling water, but she was afraid that he would drink too quickly, so she deliberately sprinkled a few grains of rice bran on it, so that Mr. Feng Shui could not only drink hot water, but also not drink too quickly and get sick. Because of this, Mr. Feng Shui gave him a piece of Feng Shui treasure land for free.
Hearing this, Mr. Feng Shui was ashamed, and he blamed the old woman for not saying it at that time, and he still had evil thoughts in his heart, and wanted to put others in the "place of death", which was really a crime that deserved death. But after all, good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, it is not that it is not repaid, the time has not yet come. Mr. Feng Shui's "high move", in front of the kind old woman, planted a fight. Since then, Mr. Feng Shui has returned to his hometown, announced that he is "closed", and will no longer give people "guidance".
Whether this story is true or not, leave it aside;But from ancient times to the present, the theory of Feng Shui has been endless. For example, when modern people buy a car, they should also ask a master to see if it matches their numerology and whether it will affect their health and careerWhen you buy a refrigerator or TV, you should also see if you are facing the door, whether it will leak money, provoke tongue, and lawsuitsDecorate the house, the bedside, stove, toilet, etc., and see if it is correct, whether it will destroy the fortune ......What's more, some neighbors are not in harmony, so they deliberately hang a mirror in front of their house, and the mirror flashes at the neighbor's house, trying to create inexplicable trouble for each other for no reason.
These so-called feng shui, in the eyes of the old woman in the mouth of my uncle in the countryside, are simply worthless, and they are really not worth refuting. If you must talk about feng shui, having good thoughts and being kind to others is good feng shui. I remember that in an article, Chen Shixu listed several of the best feng shui for mortals, such as "Don't talk long and short to others, because they don't affect your eating", "Don't belittle others' virtues, because you are not necessarily nobler than him", "Don't look down on the benefits that others have gained, because you have not lost anything", "Don't hurt others, karma will come sooner or later", "Don't overestimate yourself, the earth will turn around without you", ......It's just a few ordinary words, but to really practice it, sometimes it takes a lifetime.
