Our ancestors attached great importance to the residence and the old graves. They believed that if the residence was arranged well, the old graves were buried in the place, which would be very beneficial to the family, especially the old graves, our ancestors attached more importance to it.
Regarding whether the old grave is good, our ancestors left many common sayings. Today I will share with you "There is a great joy in something behind the grave". So what is this joy? Does this make sense? Let’s listen to what the rural elderly say and learn more.
1, what does one thing behind the grave mean?
Our ancestors believed that if the old grave was vigorous, the plants would be more vigorous and look vibrant. If there was no plants and trees, they would naturally be without vitality. The thing behind the grave refers to a tree that suddenly grows behind the grave. The ancestors believed that if the trees suddenly grow behind the grave, this place must be a Feng Shui treasure land. In order to illustrate this point vividly, a common saying left behind the grave was very happy.
The old man in the village said that if the tree behind the grave is pine and cypress is more auspicious and rare. The reason is that pine and cypress are evergreen all year round. The pine and cypress behind the grave symbolize the virtues of ancestors and can be remembered for generations. Since the ancestors are virtuous, of course they will benefit future generations. The saying
is widely circulated in many places and is even more talked about by the people. So is this saying reasonable?
2, does this sentence make sense?
Let’s take a look at the sentence below and analyze whether this sentence makes sense. As we mentioned earlier, if a tree grows behind an old grave, it means that the grave is full of vitality. If the trees grow beautifully and vigorously, it will naturally be a symbol of auspiciousness.
The old man also said that if there are trees behind the graves, it will block the northwest wind in winter for the old graves, so that the graves will not be too cold in winter. Moreover, the trees behind the graves will block the vicious sunshine of the old graves in summer, so that our ancestors can sleep better underground. Therefore, based on this point, our ancestors also thought that it is auspicious to have trees behind the graves, so they left this saying "There is a great joy for something behind the graves." Some Feng Shui scholars also believe that the trees behind the graves are backing, and say, "The graves behind the graves are boundless and joyful." If
is analyzed like this, it means that this statement is still reasonable.
3, how should we view this topic today?
To be honest, Feng Shui theory is a bit illusory after all, and there is no way to conduct scientific experiments and proofs. It is a bit ridiculous to say that the cemetery is prosperous and descendants are a bit ridiculous after all. If a person wants to be rich and prosperous, the only feasible thing is to work hard and work hard by himself. Living at home will never make a fortune.
Of course, we should also pay attention to accumulating our own virtues and try to be friendly to the people around us. As the saying goes, "Only by virtue can we get it." This is what I mean. The purpose of my words is to hope that everyone will place their hope of wealth and honor on their own struggles, and cannot simply rely on Feng Shui. For the old saying, we can treat it as a pastime after dinner, and we cannot believe it in a partial way.
4, summarizing
Regarding old tombs, our ancestors left many common sayings, such as "the grave collapses, and the descendants are born out of future generations", such as "there are pits behind the graves, and their descendants are poor", etc. These are some interesting topics. For these topics, the author will slowly share and communicate with you to learn about our funeral culture. Although these cultures are a bit superstitious, understanding these can help you understand the lives and thinking of the ancients, which is also a very interesting thing.
