432 How did Fu Botong meet Ancheng

Hangzhou Qianlong originated from Tianmu, which is far beyond description.After crossing the gorge from Huangshan Daling, one branch rises from Nanfeng, from Shiwu to Qianliangsiling, Jiuyao Mountain and Yuewang Mountain, from Ciyunling to Yujiaochang, Shengguo Mountain, Fenghuang Mountain, and from Wansongling to Wushan into the city.One branch rises from the northern peak, falls from Taoyuan Ridge and Qingzhiwu, rises from Wushi Mountain behind Yuefen, and enters the city from Zhiguo Mountain and Baochu Pagoda.Lailong descends along the river, all of which are shielded by mountains of stars, and the peaks across the river reflect the dragons in the distance. They go straight from Xiaoshan to Haimen, giving birth to Tianhu and Tianjiao stars. Make the sand, turn around to the right boundary water, and flow into the Qiantang River from Tonglu, Yanzhou.Zuojie water flows from Yuhang Xixi River into Guanhe River.It's a pity that the two worlds have not yet merged, the rivers in the city are blocked and filthy, and the veins are unclear.

The Qian family used it to establish the foundation of several generations, and Guo Puzhan had the luck to prosper the king. The two peaks of Tianmu stand above the bullfight, and Haimen is between the wings and Zhen.” After such a bragging, then the conversation changed, and a “but” came, thinking that this place: “Wenqu has many mountains. , the vulgar is still vain and deceitful; there is little accumulation of water, and scholars are greedy without practice. Although it is said that it has ruled the roost in the past, it is actually a weak situation." Therefore, it is concluded that Hangzhou "should only be a huge town on one side, not as a city. The capital of hundreds of sacrifices. It is only enough to stay in Pian'an, and it is difficult to establish a capital." In this report, Song Gaozong promoted Hangzhou to Lin'an Prefecture and said that he was there.Coincidentally, the Song family also ended up with Pian An.

moved to Beijing in the Ming Dynasty

It is said that he later assisted Zhu Yuanzhang in sweeping the world and establishing the Ming Dynasty by relying on these abilities.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised troops, Liu Bowen came out of the mountains, and Liu Chen's eighteen strategies for current affairs were reused. They loyally served the Zhu regime and actively advised Ming Taizu.He formulated the strategic policy of "destroy Chen Youliang first, then Zhang Shicheng, and then go north to the Central Plains to unify the world" for the Zhu family.And Ming Taizu got the assistance of Liu Bowen, which was like adding wings to a tiger.He basically acted in accordance with the strategy and tactics set by Liu Bowen for him. First, he defeated Chen Youliang by luring the enemy and dampened his spirit, and then fought the Chen family at Poyang Lake in 1363 AD to completely wipe out his power.In the second year, according to the plan, Zhang Shicheng's forces were wiped out.Then Ming Taizu sent troops north to attack Beijing, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, while preparing to proclaim himself emperor in the south.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Liu participated in the formulation of grand ceremonies such as the imperial examination, criminal law, and music etiquette.Jinling, Zhu Yuanzhang's capital, was Liu Jixiang's land; the palace he built was also Liu Jixiang's land.

Liu Jibu built the Qianhu Lake as the foundation of the main hall, and erected piles in the water. Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was too narrow, so he moved the piles to the back.Based on this, Liu Ji asserted: "It's good to be so, but it is inevitable that the capital will be moved later." Ming Chengzu later moved the capital, and Liu Ji was right.

437. Why Zhu Yanxiu Only Sees the Yang House and Not the Yin House

Zhu Yanxiu, a native of the Ming Dynasty, turned out to be not a Fengshui master, but a famous doctor of a generation. He cured many patients and gained a great reputation. Later, by accident, he became a Fengshui master.Therefore, he is not only proficient in medicine, but also proficient in Fengshui knowledge, and wrote the book "Fengshui Questions and Answers".

Zhu Yanxiu’s view of geomantic omen was not the mainstream at that time. He advocated that the burial site should not be chosen, and believed that the method of determining the orientation of the former kings and the appropriate soil were used to match the houses of the people; of.After a person dies, there is a pile of bones, how do you know good or bad, good or bad, and longevity?This view is quite innovative. From today's point of view, it is scientific to a certain extent, but from the perspective of Feng Shui, it is one-sided.For example, burial in a watery place is a big taboo for the burial, because water can easily corrode the inner and outer coffins, and it is not conducive to the preservation of funerary objects, so it is best to choose a relatively dry place for burial.It seems that Zhu Yanxiu's views are quite extreme.

In addition, Zhu Yanxiu also advocated that "the residence of Xiangyang does not need the residence of Yin", which is the biggest difference between him and other Feng Shui masters.Of course, Zhu Yanxiu also has few confidants, and his proposition was affirmed by another Feng Shui master, Hu Han.Hu Han also understands Fengshui, he has the same concept as Zhu Yanxiu, and believes that Fengshui can only be taught in mansions, and that there is no need to pay attention to Fengshui in the place where the dead are buried.This kind of concept represents the thinking of some people who want to have a festival burial, and they don't want a heavy burial.Zhu Yanxiu is very principled when he reads Fengshui. At that time, someone asked Zhu Yanxiu to choose a cemetery for the dead, but Zhu Yanxiu would not go even if he was beaten to death; only when someone asked him to see Fengshui for building a house, he was very happy, and he must be satisfied with the owner.From this point of view, Zhu Yanxiu is a stubborn old man who can read Fengshui, and he is much cuter than those Fengshui masters who are full of lies.

438. Why is Xu Shanji the most filial Fengshui master?
Xu Shanji was born in Dexing, Jiangxi.He was originally a scholar, and he was a filial son.The reason why he became a Feng Shui master is related to his filial piety for his parents.

After his parents died, they lay in a coffin and were not buried for a long time.In ancient times, people paid attention to burial in the soil, and there was no burial place for parents when they died.He had invited a feng shui expert, but the feng shui master was not skilled. He looked at a place and said that it was a rare feng shui treasure in a hundred years. Unexpectedly, after the tomb was repaired, there was a spring in the cemetery. The water was very clear , Sweet and delicious, migrant workers are scrambling to drink.Water coming out of the cemetery is a taboo of Feng Shui, so the construction of this tomb stopped.

Soon, a local master who claimed to be Huixiang's tomb offered to undertake the work of selecting the site. The Feng Shui master pointed to the ground and swore that he would definitely help him and let his parents rest in peace.He was so grateful that he burst into tears.So after a good meal of good wine and good food, he accompanied the Feng Shui master to investigate Feng Shui.When they came to a mountain peak, the Feng Shui master said dizzily that it was here.Xu Jishan also felt that the scenery here was magnificent, and he felt relaxed and happy when he climbed high and looked far away. The front was open, thousands of horses were galloping, and the back was surrounded by mountains, which was extremely solid. .

But what Xu Jishan didn't expect was that this time was worse than last time, and a mouse hole was actually dug in the cemetery.The mouse hole was very large, and the migrant workers thought they had dug a treasure cave, so they scrambled to dig, and finally dug out a nest of mountain mice.The migrant worker reported the situation to him, and he immediately rushed to see what happened, and it turned out that the mouse was in the grave.How could parents be buried in a mouse hole? Xu Jishan finally stopped the construction project.

After crying for a few days, Xu Jishan finally made a decision that relying on others is worse than relying on himself, so he bought Fengshui books and devoted himself to studying geomancy.Staying at home, day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, I finally mastered the knowledge of Feng Shui.However, he realized that it was too easy to come by on paper, and he knew that this matter had to be done, so he went around and finally helped his parents find a place with good geomantic omen.His parents finally got a place to rest in peace, and by this time his fame was growing.

Xu Shanji has studied Fengshui very deeply, and has his own school of thought.He founded the five elements and three combinations of Feng Shui.In terms of regulating qi, he mainly talked about the four situations of metal, wood, water and fire.In determining the yin and yang of the dragon, Xu Shanji advocated determining the yin and yang of the dragon according to whether the dragon is left-handed or right-handed.Coupled with his many years of experience in geomantic occupancy, his level is indeed very high, and he can often see the advantages and disadvantages that ordinary Feng Shui masters cannot see.He also used what he had learned to devote himself to public welfare undertakings, such as the relocation of the county government and the foundation of the school site selection. These public Fengshui affairs cannot be separated from him.

439. How did Zhang Chu predict the entry of the Qing army into the customs?

Zhang Chu, courtesy name Manxu, was born in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. He is the younger brother of Zhang Wei, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty.During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, he once visited Liaodong, which is the hometown of the Manchurians. When he came back, he said to people: "I see that the king's spirit is in the Liaozuo, and I see the burial place of others. After 30 years, they will all be nobles. I heard that there are often many children in the alleys. Princes and generals. Is there a lot of trouble in the world?"

But people at that time thought he was talking nonsense, and they didn't care. Soon the Qing soldiers entered the pass, which was exactly what he said.
