After the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the shape of tombs gradually changed, with shaft-type tomb passages replacing the original slope-type tomb passages. This change directly affected the later tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The tombs at this time were basically brick chamber tombs, including red brick tombs and blue brick tombs. These two types of brick chamber tombs were divided into three types: solid bricks, hollow bricks and corded bricks.
In the past, when people were making tomb roofs, they would lay bricks three vertically and one horizontally, two vertically and one horizontally. The advantage of laying bricks this way is that it has strong stability and is not afraid of thermal expansion and contraction. There will be a small gap between the bricks.
There is a gap space, so when it rains, water will drip into the tomb.
Relying on my memory of the road conditions, I held an umbrella and found the small dirt bag on the hillside of the reservoir.
Climbing up, my feet were filled with mud.
After walking around the earth bag, I dug six small holes with my bare hands in the open space around the earth bag.
Then I hid aside and watched the rain.
The rain is getting heavier.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, I looked over and saw that the small pits on the east and south sides were already filled with water.
But the two small pits I dug in the west corner were only half full of water, and they were still full of water.
Moreover, the speed at which rainwater penetrates downward, visible to the naked eye, is much faster than that of the two pits.
What does this mean?
The amount of rain falling from the sky is the same. If the pit is not full of water, it means that most of it has seeped into the ground. There is a high probability that there is a roof of hollow bricks or corded bricks in the underground soil...
I held the umbrella, licked my lips, and looked down.
It felt like there was a beautiful woman lying at my feet, posing in a seductive pose, smiling and saying to me: "Brother, come quickly."
"Hello!"
"Who are you? Why are you standing there when it rains so heavily?"
Who is speaking?
I turned around and looked around, and it turned out that at some point, there was an old woman standing at the bottom of the slope, holding a flower umbrella in her hand, and she was shouting at me.
"It's okay, ma'am! I'll come to the reservoir for a walk!"
The aunt waved to me: "Come down quickly! Look, you have left footprints all over the floor. It's not good for others to see you!"
I went down and asked, "What's wrong, ma'am? Isn't this a crop field?"
The aunt said: "I used to plant crops, but they never grew well, so I stopped planting them. The land on this slope has been sold to others. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow we will have to dig the soil and dig graves. If you leave people's footprints all over the ground, will it be okay?"
Can you tell me?"
Damn it, I thought it was because of someone’s guidance that I could choose the new grave here.
Don't look down upon it, but according to the ancients' eyes, this place is a geomantic treasure. I could tell it as early as the first day I came here.
Tianjing Village is located among the mountains, with a tall mountain in the middle (Naitao Mountain). There is a reservoir in front of the mountain, and the gate of the reservoir is facing the peak of Naitao Mountain.
If you build a tomb at the foot of a mountain, and point the entrance of the tomb towards a reservoir or lake, this is called "Worship the Commander-in-Chief Mountain" in Feng Shui, and it often produces generals.
It is often said in Feng Shui that if someone is buried under the Wengui Mountain, his descendants will be number one scholars; if someone is buried under the Commander-in-Chief Mountain, his descendants will be generals; if someone is buried under the Plum Blossom Mountain, his descendants will be actors.
Standing by the reservoir, I held an umbrella and asked: "Auntie, who in the village wants to bury it here?"
The aunt said: "Nanny Li in the village passed away yesterday. She lived for eighty-three years. She was happy to mourn. My grandson asked a famous Feng Shui master from other places to help choose the location. The Feng Shui master came yesterday and fell in love with this place at first sight.
Said it would be best to be buried here."
this....
I frowned and thought to myself, if it was buried on the east side of the earthbag, there was a high probability that I wouldn't be able to touch it, but if it was buried on the west side...
That is very unlucky, and there is a high probability of "hitting the grave".
