Guo Pu, courtesy name Jingchun. A famous writer and Feng Shui scholar during the Jin and Jin periods. Guo Pu has read hundreds of classics since he was a child, especially Taoist culture and ancient characters. He also studied divination with Guo Gong of Hedong. Seeing that he was quite talented, Guo Pu passed on his collection of "Book in the Qingnang" to Guo Pu. "The Book in the Green Bag" is a wonderful book about Feng Shui. After Guo Pu got the book, he felt like he had found a treasure. He understood the secrets of the five elements and Feng Shui from it, and became increasingly sophisticated in his research on Feng Shui. Later, he wrote the Feng Shui book "The Burial Sutra", which proposed the concept of "Feng Shui" for the first time. "The Qi will be dispersed by the wind, and it will be stopped by boundary water. The ancients gathered it so that it does not disperse, and the movement will stop."

Jin Hui During the reign of Emperor and Emperor Huai, riots first broke out in the land east of the river. Guo Pu predicted through divination that the Huns were about to invade, and the world would be in chaos, and Hedong was the first place where chaos would occur. So I moved my family ahead of time and migrated to the southeast. During the migration, he passed through Lujiang County . When the prefect Hu Mengkang heard about Guo Pu's prediction ability, he asked Guo Pu for advice. Guo Pu had a good chat with Hu Mengkang, so he persuaded him to go to the south together and told him the reason. But at that time he thought that the people in Hedong The rebellion was nothing to mention, no need to make a fuss about it. Guo Pu knew in his heart that everyone has his own destiny. Seeing Hu Mengkang's firm attitude, he said nothing more. Within a few days after Guo Pu left, the Eight Kings Rebellion broke out in the local area, and soon afterwards the Wuhu Rebellion broke out, and the entire Lujiang River fell completely. And Sima Rui and Wang Dao led the Jin people to cross to the south and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south. Hu Mengkang was actually a subordinate of Sima Rui and Director Wang. It can be inferred that Hu Mengkang should have mentioned Guo Pu's prediction to Sima Rui and Director Wang.

After Guo Pu left Sima Rui, Wang Dun challenged Sima Rui and launched a rebellion, and the south also fell into war. During this period, Wang Dun and Sima Rui asked Guo Pu to estimate who would win. After Guo Pu divined, he said to the people sent by Sima Rui, "It's auspicious, so he can rest assured and put down the rebellion." Wang Dun asked Guo Pu to divine, and Guo Pu said, "It's very ominous. Raising an army to rebel is an unjust act, and you will definitely be defeated." ." After hearing this, Wang Dun concealed his inner anger and continued to ask, "Then help me calculate the length of life." Guo Pu said, "If you raise an army, your life will be short. If you don't raise an army, your life will be immeasurable." Wang Dun After hearing this, he became even more angry and said: "Then calculate your lifespan." Guo Pu said calmly: "My lifespan is until today." The angry Wang Dun ordered people to detain Guo Pu and take him to Nangang to be executed. He died at the age of 49. . After the Wangdun Rebellion was put down, Guo Pu was posthumously appointed as the prefect of Hongnong County.
