Classic Feng Shui stories of ancient emperors

Feng Shui is one of the essences of our country’s culture. Many friends have doubts about Feng Shui. I don’t know if you have heard the stories of ancient emperors’ Feng Shui. Let’s take a look with me.

Ancient Emperor Feng Shui Story 1: Song Taizu

Before Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Northern Song Dynasty, was a gambler who spent all day in the streets and alleys. Because he is bold and loves to fight against injustice, he has caused a lot of trouble.

On a Lantern Festival, Zhao Kuangyin mistakenly smashed the flower stand where the emperor was viewing lanterns during the Lantern Festival because he was chasing a young man who was robbing a girl. The emperor was so angry that he ordered Zhao Kuangyin to be arrested. Zhao Kuangyin knew that he had caused a big disaster this time, so he fled the capital at Xingye. After leaving the capital, I was restless day and night and unknowingly arrived in Jiangxi. Jiangxi was affiliated to Wuyue at that time. Wuyue was a small court established by Qian Liuliu in the Five Dynasties. It was not under the jurisdiction of the Later Han Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin felt much better. One day, I came to a mountain and looked up into the distance. I saw that the mountain was steep and craggy, with lush vegetation, and among the green pines and cypresses, kites were flying and cranes were singing.

Zhao Kuangyin admired in his heart, thinking that he had traveled to many famous mountains and rivers, but this was the first time he saw such a beautiful and elegant scenery. I’m going to do some traveling today. Zhao Kuangyin asked the woodcutter collecting firewood on the roadside about the name of the mountain. The woodcutter told him that the mountain was called Gexian Mountain, and it was the place where Ge Hong made alchemy and practiced Taoism in the Jin Dynasty. Ge Hong once widely used elixirs here to cure diseases and save people. Later generations of people were grateful for Ge Hong's kindness, chiseled huge rocks and felled trees to build a Gexian temple on the top of the mountain, so the mountain was called Gexian Mountain.

After listening to the woodcutter’s story, Zhao Kuangyin thought that it turned out to be the place where the immortal family lived, no wonder it had such charm. Now I am wandering around the country with an uncertain future, so I go up the mountain to ask for a lottery to inquire about my future. After asking the woodcutter about the way up the mountain, Zhao Kuangyin rode his horse and came to the bottom of the mountain after a while. He tied the horse to the old farmhouse at the foot of the mountain and walked slowly up the mountain steps. All kinds of exotic plants and flowers were vying for release along the way. The gentle breeze mixed with the wisps of fragrance made Zhao Kuangyin feel relaxed and happy. Stop and look up at the top of the mountain where the smoke and clouds are lingering, and the cornices are even more faintly visible.

Zhao Kuangyin quickened his pace and stepped forward. After a few sticks of incense, Zhao Kuangyin arrived in front of the temple. In front of the door, two lifelike stone lions lie on both sides. There are eight big characters written on the walls of both sides of the chamber: Virtue matches heaven and earth, Tao follows nature. The writing is vigorous and elegant. I don’t know if it was written by that famous artist.

Walking into the main hall, in front of a lot-seeking platform, there is a gold-painted statue sitting at attention. The four King Kongs on both sides are frowning, showing the majesty and mystery of Taoism.

Zhao Kuangyin squeezed in between a few faithful men and women to worship, thinking secretly in his heart, disciple Zhao Kuangyin has been in the world for a long time without making any merit and is still on the run, and he is willing to ask the immortal to show him a clear path so that his disciples can know what to do. Where to go. After reading, sprinkle the divination money. He reached into the lottery cabinet and took out a lottery. Zhao Kuangyin felt a little strange when he touched it, but he didn't care at all. When he came to the signing table, he handed over his signature and said, "Taoist priest, sign it." The Taoist priest in Qingyi took a look at the signed signature, his face suddenly changed, and he asked softly: Master, what did you just do? Did you ask for the signature? Zhao Kuangyin said in a low voice: "Yes, Taoist priest, is there anything wrong?"? Nothing, the master asked Hou Pindao to go and come back later. After saying this, the Taoist priest in Qingyi hurried into the side hall next to him. .

After a while, the Qingyi Taoist came in a hurry. Master, please tell me. Zhao Kuangyin became more and more puzzled and followed the Taoist into the side hall. The tables and chairs were all arranged very elegantly. The landscape calligraphy hanging on the wall gave off a strong aroma of books. An old Taoist with white hair and Taoist robes was looking at him with a smile, and he bowed. A white-haired old man returned the salute and said softly: "Master, please come this way." ? Zhao Kuangyin sat down at the coffee table and asked: "Master, I am here to interpret the signatures. Do you have any advice?" The old Taoist with white eyebrows said: "Sir, you are not busy interpreting the signatures. Let me tell you a story first!" ?

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but calm down and look at him with his solemn expression. The old man with white eyebrows looked at Zhao Kuangyin's face and said, "Sir, do you know what lot you just drew?" Zhao Kuangyin said. : "Zhao doesn't know, please ask the Taoist priest for advice. "The old Taoist said: "Young Master has a very noble character, so he can win this lot. This signature is called Song, and it is a stick made by the ancestor Ge Xian himself. Although this stick is only small in size, it is heavier than gold and iron. Only those who are destined can win it.

Since Ge Xian made it, only one person has obtained it for hundreds of years. He was Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu who established the Liu Song Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. When Liu Yu drew this lot, he did something that benefited the people at the foot of the mountain. However, he fell short at that time and did not complete the work.

"Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin raised his hands and saluted and said: "Excuse me, Master, what can you do to benefit the people?" The old Taoist Baimei sighed and said: "This Gexian Mountain has been inherited for hundreds of years. There is a strange disease in which a person is as strong as a madman and extremely strong. He will pick up iron tools and stones to destroy his limbs and die. If his family members tie him up, the patient will yell and eventually bite his tongue and die.

It's so tragic that hundreds of people die from this disease every year!" After that, the old Taoist sighed again. Zhao Kuangyin was shocked and asked, "Isn't there any way to treat this disease, Master Taoist?" The old Taoist said: "Sir, this is the reason why I asked you to come here to speak. This disease is actually a kind of fire scabies, but this kind of fire scabies is different from ordinary fire scabies. It must be treated with the most yin and cold in the world." Things can only be restrained. According to Ge Hongbao Puzi, there is a ghost turtle in the world, hiding in a deep cave. Its body is extremely cold and cannot be approached unless it has pure Yang energy. This disease needs to be treated with objects related to the ghost turtle. It can only be cured by tormenting it with water.

Zhao Kuangyin asked eagerly: "Where can I find the objects related to the underworld turtle?" The old Taoist nodded slightly: "To tell you the truth, there is a mountain behind this mountain." There is a cliff, and there is a cave 30 meters away from the cliff that leads directly to the ground. There is a huge turtle shell embedded in a stone slab in the ground. There is a tea tree growing on the turtle shell. You can only pick the tea leaves from the tea tree and cut off a small piece of the turtle shell. That's it.'

Zhao Kuangyin asked: "Then in these many years, haven't you sent people out to look for it?" The old Taoist sighed again and said: "If ordinary people can pick this thing, how can it be so?" Will this fire disease plague the people for so many years? "Only those with pure Yang Qi can resist the cold of the underworld turtle." Then who knows that he has pure Yang Qi? Zhao Kuangyin asked.

"People who can pick up Song Dynasty sticks with their fingers have pure Yang energy in them! When Bi Laodao said this, he looked at Zhao Kuangyin. Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin stood up." The Taoist priest doesn't need to say any more. , It is the true nature of a man to save the people from water and fire. Take me to the entrance of the cave now. When Zhao collects the medicine, he will talk to the Taoist! When he heard this, the Taoist beamed with joy. "Young master is really kind-hearted," he said. It is really a blessing for all the people in the world. There is no need to say anything in front of the Young Master. He turned around and told the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi, "Hurry and prepare the necessary items for going down to the cave to collect herbs."

" The Taoist priest in Tsing Yi turned around and hurried away. The old Taoist spoke. He said: "Master, remember, if you can't withstand the cold in the cave, don't force yourself. You can support it as long as you can. Don't risk your life in vain and make this poor Taoist feel uneasy." Zhao Kuangyin said: "Don't worry, Taoist Master, I will think about it. Please tell me." Please lead the way!" Then, good master, please come with me. After saying that, he led Zhao Kuangyin through several courtyards and came to the door of a warehouse.

The Taoist priest in green moved out a box of items, and the old Taoist said: "Zhao Kuangyin walked through several courtyards and came to a warehouse door. Master, these are the necessary items for going down the cave. Take a look at what is missing. Zhao Kuangyin looked at the items in the box, a bundle of ropes, a short knife, a few fire knives and several medicine bags to repel poisonous insects." Nothing is missing, Taoist Master, let's go. "

The old Taoist slowly led Zhao Kuangyin to a cliff in the back mountain and pointed with his hand: "Master, please look there!" Zhao Kuangyin followed the old Taoist's finger. Looking closely at the place, there is a tangled ancient pine 30 meters away from the cliff. Next to the ancient pine, there is a hole looming in the mist.

"I saw it. The Taoist priest is waiting here. Zhao Mou is risking his life to collect the medicine." After saying that, Zhao Kuangyin tied the rope to a large tree nearby and tied it with a tight knot. Then he tied the other end around his waist and pulled the rope down. After a while, he arrived at the entrance of the cave. There were about two people at the entrance, so Zhao Kuangyin untied the rope and walked into the cave.

After entering the cave, he took out the fire stick in his arms and illuminated the dark surroundings. Holding the fire stick, Zhao Kuangyin moved forward slowly. Poisonous insects such as snakes and scorpions in the cave avoided each other. Zhao Kuangyin knew that It was the medicine bag in his arms that worked. As he walked deeper and deeper, Zhao Kuangyin felt waves of cold air coming. Zhao Kuangyin quickened his pace and ran towards the place where the cold air hit.

I don’t know how long he had been walking, but Zhao Kuangyin suddenly felt his feet slip and his whole body sank. When he stopped, he felt that he had landed on a dirt bag, and there was a biting cold air that invaded his internal organs. It attacked him. He shuddered and took out a new fire stick from his arms to light it. The fire suddenly appeared, and a dark green tree with some red tea trees was right in front of him. Look at the cracks on the earth bag under his feet. It is the back shell of the underworld turtle.

Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed to find that the position he was in now was exactly on the back shell of the turtle. He quickly took out the walking bag that he had prepared and went to the tea tree. He took out the new tea leaves that had just sprouted. He picked off the leaves. As he picked, he found that his hands and feet were gradually losing control. The biting cold air was seeping from every pore in his body. He felt that the blood in his body had been radiated by the turtle shell. The cold air froze. Zhao Kuangyin gritted his teeth and picked off the young leaves from the tea tree one by one. In a daze, the tea tree was finally picked clean. But he found that it was difficult for his feet to take every step. Zhao Kuangyin thought about it and took advantage of it. Go out as soon as you still have some strength, otherwise you will have to die here.

Zhao Kuangyin was about to go out with staggering steps. Suddenly something tripped his feet. He saw a short knife stuck in the crack of the turtle shell by the light of the fire. Looking at the short knife, Zhao Kuangyin felt heartbroken. I feel extremely ashamed. This short knife must have been left behind by Liu Yu, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty, when he was cutting turtle shells. After picking the tea leaves, I didn’t even think about cutting a piece of turtle shell. I am so greedy and afraid of death that I am not a man. .Thinking of this, Zhao Kuangyin thought that if he didn't cut off a piece of turtle shell today, he would never go out even if he died here.

He tied the tea leaves around his waist and squatted down, pulled out the knife from his cloud shoes and inserted it along the crack of the turtle shell. As soon as he inserted it, a bit of cold air spread from the short knife, and he There was no feeling in his hands. Zhao Kuangyin knew that if he went out now, he could still save his life. When the cold poison sealed the veins in his body, he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to. But then he thought about what if he went out like this, and there were Seeing the suffering people here, he was heartbroken and used his other conscious hand to hold the short knife and start cutting again. But as soon as he exerted his force, the cold air seeping out of the turtle shell cut his other hand. His hands were also numb. In a daze, he felt that the cold poison in his hands had invaded his internal organs. Zhao Kuangyin could no longer support himself and fell to the ground.

Just when he was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly felt a heat in his Dantian, and a warm current instantly extended to his limbs and bones. The coldness in his body suddenly decreased. He stood up quickly and felt that there was something on his body again. Strength, he thought to himself that this was probably the rebound of the pure Yang energy in his body under the extreme cold. Whatever the reason, let's cut off the turtle shell first. He grabbed the short knife and pried it off after a while. Next piece. He hid the cut turtle shell in his arms, climbed up along the way, and unknowingly came to the entrance of the cave in his excitement. He grabbed the rope hanging at the entrance of the cave and tied it to his waist and shook it a few times.

The old Taoist priest and the Taoist priest in Qingyi were waiting eagerly at the top of the cliff. When they saw Zhao Kuangyin coming out of the cave, they were overjoyed and quickly pulled Zhao Kuangyin up. When they reached the top of the cliff, Zhao Kuangyin took off the tea leaves from his waist and removed them from his arms. He took out the turtle shell and handed it to the old Taoist and said: "Taoist Master, Mr. Zhao has fulfilled his mission. The tea leaves and turtle shell are here. Please prepare medicine to save people." The old Taoist took the tea leaves and turtle shell and said: "Master Zhao, you have the right to go to the wing to rest." Let's recover some energy first. I'll go to the alchemy room to boil medicine to save people. After that, I ordered the Taoist priest in green to help Zhao Kuangyin go to the wing first.

Zhao Kuangyin fell asleep in the wing and woke up again. When he turned around, he saw two red charcoal fires burning beside his bed, and a group of elders were surrounding his bed. Zhao Kuangyin turned over and wanted to get up to salute. The old Taoist held him down and said: "Young Master, lie down and talk, you are still cold." Don’t be overworked. After speaking, the old Taoist introduced the elders around him to Zhao Kuangyin one by one and said: "They are the elders of the villages at the foot of the mountain. They have been waiting for you here for three days. Zhao Kuangyin said: "Taoist Master, Have I slept for three days? The old Taoist said: "Yes, Master, I have slept for three days. The coldness in your body is very strong. We gave him a lot of medicinal soup to dispel the cold, but it had little effect. The pure yang energy in his body drove out the cold poison. After speaking, the old Taoist took out a book from his arms and said: "I and the clan elders have unanimously agreed that the young master is a outstanding figure today, and we have decided to pass down this book from the ancestors." After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin quickly shook his head and said: "You must not do it. How can you give me the treasure handed down by the ancestor?" The old Taoist said: "Young Master, please don't refuse. Nowadays, there are frequent wars in the world. Only a hero like the master can take this "Ge Hong Bing Jian" and save the people of the world from disaster. Zhao Kuangyin also wanted to refuse, but the old Taoist and other clan elders insisted on sending it to him. Under their kindness, Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to push it anymore for fear of disturbing the minds of all the elders.

After everyone left, Zhao Kuangyin picked up the "Ge Hong Bingjian" and read it carefully, and suddenly felt that the book was infinitely changing and all-encompassing. The strategy of governing the country through killing and conquering was quite detailed. Zhao Kuangyin stayed at home and read at night for several days, and gradually understood some of the ways to govern the country. There were also some things that he had not yet understood that he also kept in mind. < /p>

After ten days, Zhao Kuangyin felt that his spirit was restored and refreshed, so he packed his bags and said goodbye to the old Taoist. The old Taoist said: "Young master is leaving, so I will not stay, but I want to ask where the master is going." Go. Zhao Kuangyin said: "To be honest with you, Taoist Master, I really don't know where I'm going. Let's just take it one step at a time!" The old Taoist twirled his long beard and said, "Sir, I'm a poor Taoist looking at the sky at night. There is purple gas above Chanzhou." Circling. If the young master has nowhere to go, go to Chanzhou and join the army! Zhao Kuangyin bowed respectfully: "Just listen to the Taoist priest, anyway, I have nowhere to go, so let's go to Chanzhou." The old Taoist laughed. He took out a piece of delicate paper from his arms and said: "Sir, this is the prophecy of the Song Dynasty Lotus left by the Patriarch. Keep it yourself."

Zhao Kuangyin took it and saw four prophecies written on it: Today's country is shaking in the rain, and the future is lost immediately. I always sympathized with the people's suffering, and he was prosperous in Chenqiao in his youth. Zhao Kuangyin asked puzzledly Said: "Master Taoist, Zhao is very knowledgeable and does not understand the profoundness of this. Can you tell me one or two things?" The old Taoist laughed and said: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked, the master will understand it in the future. After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin cupped his hands and gave a deep salute:" Well, Taoist priest, you and I will say goodbye. If there is a chance, we can meet again someday. After saying that, he turned around and strode down the mountain.

Zhao Kuangyin was on his way to Chanzhou to join the army. After getting acquainted with Chai Rong, Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the two of them joined the tent of Guo Wei, who was the defense envoy of Chanzhou at that time. Later, Guo Wei raised his troops to destroy the Later Han Dynasty and ascended the throne. After Guo Wei's death, Chai Rong took over the throne, and Zhao Kuangyin relied on a book " Ge Hong Bingjian "assisted Chai Rong in the east and west expeditions, and the Southern and Northern Expeditions. He was deeply loved by his generals and the people. After Chai Rong's death, his six-year-old child ascended the throne. Because the emperor's young minister, Zhao Kuangyin, was aggrieved, the generals under him were aggrieved. During a military expedition, When they arrived at Chenqiao, the generals put their yellow robes on Zhao Kuangyin and knelt down to ask Zhao Kuangyin to accept the throne.

Under the entreaty of the generals, Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne in yellow robes and established the historically famous Northern Song Dynasty. This also ended the chaotic and separatist situation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. This also corresponded to the situation when Ge Xianliu The following prophecy: Today's country is shaking in the rain, and the future is lost immediately. I always sympathized with the people's sufferings, and in the next year the dragon prospered in Chenqiao. Ancient Emperor Feng Shui Story 2: Ming Taizu

Zhu Yuanzhang’s grandfather was born in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, and was a native of Zhujia Village, Tongde Township, Jurong County, Jiangsu Province. Later, when the world was in chaos, he took his family across the Huaihe River and settled in Sizhou. Whenever there is an important event, the local people often recommend him to be the master of ceremonies. One day, he was lying down and resting in a pit under the Yang family mound behind the house. Suddenly two Taoist priests, an old man and a young man, came. The old man pointed to the place where Xizu lay and said: "If you are buried here, you will definitely come out." Son of Heaven. The young Taoist asked: "How can you see it?" The old Taoist said: "If you don't believe it, you can try it by inserting a dry branch, and it will definitely produce leaves." ?

Then, he hurriedly called Xizu to get up. Xizu pretended to be asleep after hearing their conversation. So, the two Taoists planted the branches and walked away. Ten days later, Xizu went to check it early, and sure enough, the dead branches sprouted and grew leaves. So he cleverly used a trick to pull out the green branches and replace them with dead branches. After a while, two Taoists came. The old Taoist saw that the dead branches were still growing and Xizu was nearby, so he became suspicious and pointed at Xizu and said: "This person must have replaced him." He turned around and said to Xizu: "If you want to be blessed, bury this place after your death, and your family will be the emperor." ?

After saying that, he left angrily. In the fourth year of Taiding in the Yuan Dynasty (1327 AD), Xi Zu died and was buried on this place. Before the earth was sealed, the tomb was built on its own. At the end of this year, the Zhu family moved to the wood farm in Xuyi County, east of Zhongli. One day, Zhu Yuanzhang's mother met a strange man with a shaved beard and strange appearance, wearing a yellow crown and red clothes. He gave her a pill of white medicine. This medicine has a sparkling light, and as soon as you swallow it, you will be pregnant with Liujia. The next year, that is, in September of the first year of Yuan Tianli (AD 1328), a son was born. This was Zhu Yuanzhang. At this time, there was only one year left before his grandfather's burial. Because Zhu Gui had worked hard to recognize the tomb, Zhu Yuanzhang not only gave him a farm, a house, money, gold, belts, clothes and other items, but also specially granted him an ancestral mausoleum to enshrine a fourth-rank official, and allowed his descendants to manage the office hereditary. The Emperor’s Feng Shui Story Expansion

The Feng Shui treasure land before 2000 is still a prosperous place now. It is said that when Qin Shihuang was in power, a sorcerer told him that the current Nanjing area had the aura of a king, so Qin Shihuang was very worried whether this meant that a future emperor would be born there, and whether a competitor would appear. Seize the world with yourself. He ordered the warlock to find a way to eliminate the king's energy.

The warlock used two methods. One was to dig up the Purple Mountain. According to Feng Shui, the Purple Mountain with dragons and tigers in it is a source of kingly energy, and the way for warlocks to deal with this situation is to cut off the dragon veins and kill the tigers, so the Purple Mountain must be dug up. At the same time, they also buried many gold and jade treasures on Purple Mountain. It is said that these things can "suppress" the dragon and tiger. Nanjing's ancient name "Jinling" came from this incident. The second method is to dig a Qinhuai River. It is said that the function of this river is to drain away the king's energy here.

It is said that these two methods worked well. Although many people successively established their capital in Nanjing, from Sun Quan to Chiang Kai-shek, none of them were able to unify China in the end. The only exception was Zhu Yuanzhang, but shortly after his death, his designated successor, Emperor Jianwen, was overthrown, and Emperor Yongle, who defeated Emperor Jianwen, moved his capital to Beijing.

Another one. There are unofficial records that after Qin Shihuang unified Lingnan, the alchemists told him that to the north of Renxiao City in Guangzhou at that time, between the Baiyun and Yuexiu mountains, there was a "yellow cloud and purple gas", which was the location of the dragon vein. He Someone will be born every day. This news made Qin Shihuang restless. He sent people south and dug a large hole of dozens of feet at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, cutting off the dragon veins of Guangzhou. "Panyu County Chronicle" says: "The shape of the chisel is concave like a saddle." Later generations called this place "Ma'anshan" from then on. Nowadays, few people know that the rolling, seemingly ordinary hills south of Jingtai Keng in Baiyun Mountain and north of Hengzhi Gang are the Ma'an Mountains where Emperor Qin Shihuang loomed over his back more than 2,000 years ago.

The Dragon Veins of Guangzhou are three branches of Baiyun Mountain running down. The Yuexiu Mountain Range is called the political artery, where the provincial government, municipal government, municipal party committee and municipal people's congress are all located; the Shougou Mountain Mountain Range is the commercial artery, with business districts such as CITIC Plaza, Foreign Trade and Economic Building, and Tianhe Shopping Plaza located here; Wushan and Chashan are Context, South China University of Technology, South China Agricultural University, South China Normal University, and Jinan University are all located here. The energy of these three veins gathers in the north of East Lake Park, which happens to be the political, economic and cultural center of Guangzhou. With the development and expansion of Guangzhou, many bridges have been built in Guangzhou to connect various places. These bridges are the channels for transmitting vitality, connecting the energy of the north and south sides of Guangzhou.
