As the saying goes, "the long bamboo next to the grave needs to be moved, and the two things in front of the grave become rich", what does it mean?
As we all know, cemetery culture is particular about feng shui. As this common sense spread and became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, proverbs also appeared.
This means respecting the decisions of our ancestors and affirming their wisdom.
However, for"The long bamboo beside the grave must be put into the grave, and two things can get rich before the grave"People really don't understand what this funeral saying means. What does that mean exactly? What do these two things mean?
Bamboo must be removed from the grave.
Unless it is a major event, the relocation of graves is undoubtedly a great blasphemy. The ancients have always believed that the grave is the destination of the ancestors after death, and it is not a great rebellion to help people move the grave without consent?
If bamboo grows near the grave, the grave should be moved, and if bamboo grows, the grave should be moved, which is also slightly inappropriate. Isn't there a grave on the hill near the bamboo forest?
Actually, this is because bamboo is not like tree roots, which usually have deep roots and thick leaves. When it reaches deep into the tomb, it disturbs the peace of the deceased. Therefore, it is best to remove it as soon as it is found.
There is also news that the mausoleum was built next to the bamboo forest, but it was never built deep in the bamboo forest.
You must know that where bamboo forests grow, the internal yin and yang are ambiguous, and the humidity is deep. Ancient Feng Shui had its own study and it was never allowed to build tombs here.
This is detrimental to future generations and disrespectful to the owner of the tomb. Other people's homes have feng shui treasures near mountains and rivers, but their own homes can't.
Some people believe that it is not enough to simply cut and uproot bamboo. This step alone will inevitably cause damage to graves, and relocation is not new.
The tomb is enriched with two things.
As for the second sentence of the proverb:"Creatures are both pines and souls"。If you plant five trees in your home, lift your eyes and look at those rags.
These two proverbs are linked mainly because they both refer to pine trees. The aborigines believed that if pine trees were planted in the house, it would have a bad effect. However, if the pine tree grows in the cemetery, it is a good image.
Pine trees are evergreen all year round, boding well for a bright future. If it is planted in front of the grave, it means that the family will thrive like a pine tree.
Especially when burying a loved one, planting a pine tree next to the tomb is a way to express the blessings of the ancestors to the descendants. As the foliage of the pine tree grows more and more luxuriant, the life of the family will get better and better.
Moreover, if there is a pine tree next to the tomb, it is also a beautiful monument for the ages. Take the lively scene in front of the Ganling Wu Zetian Mausoleum as an example, the history of thousands of years is still vivid, how can it not be envied.
The same cannot be said of ancient folk tombs, but the pursuit of beauty is very simple.
It's best if you can find an old spruce tree directly, but even if you can't find it, you can make it yourself. Dead loved ones are"Rich", and so are living loved ones"Rich", who can refuse.
Not only that, but reishi also grows on the branches of trees such as pines and cypresses. If that happens, you're done. The ancients deduced that this was a sign that the descendants of the family proved themselves and made them more hopeful about life.
As for the second point"Spirit"In the eyes of the aborigines, animals are spiritual, such as the turtle that symbolizes longevity and common names"Little Dragon"The snakes are all auspicious animals.
If they are in these places, it proves that the country is full of life. They should happily tell future generations that the place where their dead ancestors lived was full of life.
Whether it is a living family member or a deceased loved one, they all yearn for the beauty of this world. It is very rare to be able to bring a good mood to people.
Abundance is important not only in terms of money and possessions, but also in terms of spiritual world satisfaction.
Nowadays, many people hear these words and think they are at first glance"Feudal superstitions"。Some even ridicule this idea as ignorant and completely unnecessary.
The example of two objects of wealth placed in front of the tomb is a good gesture in itself. No ancient person would have thought that as soon as they appeared, they must be rich and noble. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to grab two animals and put them in a burial chamber?
The aborigines invented writing to express their inner emotions and at the same time to express their thoughts about their ancestors, what can we refute or doubt about this?
If we don't worship our ancestors regularly, we have no way of knowing if bamboo has grown in front of the grave and if there are animals. The ancients were serious about admonishing future generations, but they seem to be paying attention to the wrong place.
From Nantianmen to Penglai East Road, you ask me if my eyes are dry? What is this conversation?
The meaning of this phrase itself is that future generations should not only pass on the ideas and knowledge of the ancients to future generations, but also visit their ancestors from time to time. When they say goodbye to this world, perhaps only their direct descendants will remember that they once came.
