There is such a record in Guo Pu's "Book of Burials": "The person who is buried takes advantage of the Qi. The Qi will be dispersed by the wind and stopped by the boundary water. The ancients gathered it to make it not disperse, and the movement made it stop, so it is called Feng

Guo Pu's " Burial Book " has such a record: "The burial person takes advantage of the Qi. The Qi will disperse when it is carried by the wind, and stops by the boundary water. The ancients gathered it to keep it from spreading, and moved it to stop it. Therefore, it is called Feng Shui, and the method of Feng Shui is to obtain water first, and to hide wind secondly."

This is the first time that Feng Shui appears in history with a clear definition. Although it only refers to the location of funerals, with the development of time, it gradually It has derived branches such as house feng shui, terrain feng shui, and ornaments feng shui. Among them, house feng shui attracts the most attention.

After all, humans, as advanced social animals, still have certain requirements for living in houses. Especially in ancient times when there was a reverence for God, they paid more attention to the feng shui of the house and always wanted to find a feng shui treasure for their home.

There is such a small village in Wuyi County, Zhejiang Province. It is said that this village was once designed by Liu Bowen, a politician and writer in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties. Many experts and scholars gathered in small villages could not solve this puzzle.

The birth of Yujiacun

It is said that during the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a great scholar named Yu De who taught in Songyang. His coffin was sent back to his hometown in Hangzhou for a proper burial, and Yu Yi tearfully promised his father.

As expected, Yu De passed away in his sleep that night. Perhaps because the funeral arrangements had been made, Yu De passed away very peacefully. Yu Yi followed his father's will and took his father on the road to Hangzhou three days after the coffin was laid.

When Yu Yi led a group of servants through an ancient village in the southwest of Wuyi County, Jinhua, Zhejiang, a strange thing happened. It was already evening when the caravan arrived at the village called "Zhuyan Village".

The road in the mountains was difficult to walk at night. After negotiating with the villagers, Yu Yi parked Yu De's coffin next to the stream near the village, and then followed the villagers who were willing to take them in for the night. On the second day, everyone planned to set off immediately after eating and drinking.

Who would have thought that the coffin that could be lifted easily yesterday could not be lifted today. Yu Yi hurried forward to check and found that it was a wisteria tightly wrapped around the coffin, as if to keep Yu De. .

Yu Yi was shocked. He was afraid that the wisteria was the will of God, and he was afraid that not sending his father back to Hangzhou would make his father unhappy. After the two thoughts clashed in his mind, Yu Yi decided to bury his father's coffin on the spot. Shunyi Lao God’s thoughts.

Yu De was a famous Confucian scholar in Hangzhou during his lifetime. He was famous all over the world. His former students heard that their teacher was buried here and came to pay homage one after another. As more people worshiped, more people settled here.

Even Yu Yi himself settled here because he got married to a local girl. Gradually, Zhuyan Village became Yujia Village. The most amazing thing is that this ancient village with a history of 800 years has been preserved very well.

The village is full of exquisitely carved ancient buildings, which have never experienced the baptism of artillery fire. It has even been listed as a key national cultural relic protection unit, and has been named a famous Chinese historical and cultural village and a Chinese folk culture village.

The Mystery of the House Collapse

But in such a geomantic treasure place, a very bizarre incident happened. It is said that during the Republic of China period more than 80 years ago, there was a villager named Yu Zufang who wanted to renovate and adjust his house.

However, the well in front of the door was very obstructive, and people did not get water from this well every day, so they filled up the well on their own initiative. After the well was filled in, the progress of the construction team also accelerated visibly, and soon a clean and spacious two-story building rose from the ground.

However, Yu Zufang did not move in directly on the night it was built. Since it had just been built and the furnishings in the house were in a mess, Yu Zufang and his family went to stay with relatives in the same village. Who would have thought that the beautiful duplex building would turn into a pile of ruins overnight.

Yu Zufang stared blankly at the ruins in front of her. After she realized what she was doing, she collapsed on the ground and cried loudly, attracting a crowd of villagers to come and watch. However, none of them could say anything about how ugly they were, so they could only comfort her. Yu Zufang, who has no money.

This was a very prestigious old man who stood up and scolded Yu Zufang, which made the already sad Yu Zufang feel stupid. It turns out that this well is a very important element in the Feng Shui layout of Yuyuan Village.

Yu Zufang filled up the eyes inexplicably, how could he not suffer any disaster? After listening to what the old man said, Yu Zufang, who was crying with runny nose and tears, had no time to calm herself down and quickly called someone to restore the well to its original state.

The amazing thing is that after being restored to its original state, Yu Zufang’s house never collapsed again and remains very stable to this day. Faced with this miraculous event, people in the village were very curious as to who was the master who created such an exquisite Feng Shui formation for Yujiacun's subordinates. The old man once again spoke to answer everyone's questions.

Liu Bowen's good intentions

It turns out that Yuyuan Village was not peaceful during the Ming Dynasty. At that time, droughts often occurred in Yujia Village, which affected their lives at first and lost their harvest at worst, causing many villagers to become refugees. The fifth generation descendant of the Yu family is quite capable. He once met Liu Bowen, who was famous at that time in Kyoto.

During the drought in Yujia Village, the Yu family wrote to Liu Bowen asking for help. Liu Bowen happily went to Yujia Village for the sake of his friend's face. After arriving in Yujia Village, Liu Bowen visited and investigated all over Yujia Village, including large and small plains, mountains, and streams.

According to the guidance of the celestial phenomena, Liu Bowen decided to start with the creek outside the village. Liu Bowen ordered the villagers to dig a ditch that ran through the entire village, and introduced the running water from the creek outside the village into the ditch, allowing the distant water to flow. It has become a near source of water and a life-saving water for the villagers.

On the basis of introducing water flow, Liu Bowen ordered people to dig seven wells and seven square ponds between the houses. Maybe there is no clue from the plan, but in the bird's eye view, these seven wells and The small pond in seven directions shows the shape of the Big Dipper.

Therefore, these seven wells and seven small ponds are also named "Seven Star Pond" and "Seven Star Well". In addition to using the creek to change the drought-prone situation of Yujia Village, Liu Bowen also very thoughtfully used the astrological arrangement method of "Tiangang leads to the twenty-eight constellations, and the zodiac surrounds it" to transform the layout of the houses in Yujia Village.

What is shocking is that after the transformation, Yujia Village was like a divine help, and dozens of Jinshi and Juren were born. However, although Yujia Village has good luck after the renovation, strange things often happen, such as the wooden fish carved in the alley that change color.

For another example, there will be a heavy rain in Yujia Village every year on the 26th day of the sixth lunar month. Dozens of such strange things happen in Yujia Village, but no one has been able to solve these mysteries so far.

If you are curious about the mystery of Yujia Village, you might as well take advantage of your vacation time to go to Yujia Village for an interesting ancient village adventure. What do you think about this?
