As we all know, Chinese culture is extensive and profound and has thousands of years of development experience. Although we don’t have much contact with "Feng Shui" today, since it can exist in the long history of thousands of years, it must have a reason for its existence.
According to records in some historical books, certain Feng Shui knowledge is related to the civilizational progress, development and reproduction of a nation. The small environment can affect a person's career, and the large environment can even affect the fortune of ancient dynasties.
Zhu Yuanzhang is a very legendary emperor in the history of our country. Although his career was achieved with his own real swords and guns, according to various records, he was also an emperor who valued Feng Shui very much. When
was in power, he asked Liu Bowen to kill all the dragon veins in the world because of a dream. However, Liu Bowen killed 99 dragon veins, leaving only one in Changbai Mountain, which led to the change of dynasties in Ming Dynasty . So, what's the story behind this?
The legendary story of Zhu Yuanzhang
Zhu Yuanzhang was born in the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Due to the corruption of the Yuan Dynasty and the continuous disasters in the world, he had to go to Huangjue Temple to become a monk after the death of his parents, but even such a hard life did not last long.
Huangjue Temple did not have much surplus food to support Zhu Yuanzhang, so he had to start wandering in Huaixi for three years. During this period, he saw all the suffering in the world, experienced the ups and downs and twists and turns in the world, and finally joined the peasant uprising army against the Yuan Dynasty.
Haozhou City Guo Zixing admired Zhu Yuanzhang very much and married his adopted daughter Queen Ma to him. Relying on this relationship, Zhu Yuanzhang fought on the battlefield and made contributions. After Guo Zixing died, he took his place and became the leader of the rebel army.
After more than ten years of struggle, Zhu Yuanzhang successively defeated Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen and the Yuan Dynasty in the north, and finally established the Ming Dynasty in 1368 AD, completing the counterattack and transformation of his life.
The Ming Dynasty can be said to be the dynasty that Zhu Yuanzhang conquered after many ups and downs. He was very concerned about maintaining the imperial rule and establishing the Ming Dynasty forever, and he did not hesitate to create Hu Weiyong case , Lan Jade case and other cruel events.
In addition to these major political events, Zhu Yuanzhang did not miss the slightest crisis in Feng Shui. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he sent Liu Bowen to kill all the dragons in the world, and this has to be said about a dream he had.
According to unofficial records, one day Zhu Yuanzhang took a nap in the imperial garden in his spare time. While sleeping in China, he saw a dragon vein and a real dragon emperor was born on the dragon vein. This person wanted to seize Zhu Ming's country.
Does Zhu Yuanzhang believe in such a dream? The answer is yes, and even today many people believe that the reason why he was able to become the founding emperor of a dynasty from a beggar and a cowherd boy was related to the place where his parents were buried in his early years.
It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang's family was poor in his early years and there was no place to bury his parents after their death. In desperation, he could only carry the body up the mountain. As a result, when he was halfway up the mountain, there was a vision and there were dark clouds and heavy rain.
Zhu Yuanzhang slipped and his parents' bodies fell to the ground. The mud and rocks rolling down the mountain buried their parents' bodies there. He thought that since God had arranged it like this, he might as well bury them in this place.
From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang's fate began to change, and thus the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Regardless of whether this wild history story is true or false, the relatively superstitious ancient people believed it without any doubt. As the person involved, Zhu Yuanzhang may also feel that it makes sense.
Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw what happened in his dream, he broke into a cold sweat. After waking up, he immediately called some ministers to discuss the matter. He firmly believed that the dragon veins of the world could give birth to a new emperor and threaten the Ming Dynasty. Only by cutting off the dragon veins of the world could it be possible to preserve the immortality of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Bowen killed the dragon vein
In the early Ming Dynasty, all the officials in the court were both civil and military, and there were many talents, but there was only one person who was good at Feng Shui. This person was Liu Bowen, who was considered to be the best. Emperor Hongwu finally chose him to kill the dragon vein.
No one can give a specific explanation of what "Feng Shui" is, but in daily life we all know that the small environment makes up the big environment, and the big environment can in turn affect the small environment. The two are independent but interdependent.
From a certain perspective, this is what Dragon Slayer Veins is like. It does not directly find the real dragon in the mountains and rivers, but changes the general environment by changing the direction of mountains, rivers and rivers on a small scale. This is the real Dragon Slayer Veins.
Liu Bowen's first stop was Wuxi, Jiangsu. After his survey, he discovered a dragon vein (mountain range) there. However, it is not that easy to change the environment of mountains and rivers, but he found a good way.
Liu Bowen said to the people of Wuxi, "The soil in this mountain range is extraordinary. The court will buy the clay figurines made from the soil here at a high price." The world is hustle and bustle for profit. When the people heard about this good thing, they all dug out the mud to make clay figurines.
Soon after, more and more soil was excavated on the mountain, and the mountains were no longer as grand as before. Finally, Liu Bowen dug another well on the mountain and locked it with iron chains. This was the famous Suolong Well in history, and the first dragon vein was cut off like this.
Chang'an has been the place of dragon prosperity since ancient times. Many dynasties have established their capitals here or nearby. The second dragon vein discovered by Liu Bowen is Lanzhou near Chang'an. That place is called Gaolan Mountain.
Gaolan Mountain stretches from Longwei Mountain in the west to Laolanggou in the east. It stretches for more than 20 miles and is shaped like a coiled dragon. It has a history of more than 2,000 years and has witnessed the rise of the Huns and the glory of the Western Han Dynasty.
After Liu Bowen discovered this dragon vein, he hurriedly carried out related work. He found the leading position of Gaolan Mountain and built four Fulong piers there. One by one, they suppressed the "coiling dragon" from taking off. It can be said that this dragon vein has almost no hope of taking off.
After cutting off these two dragon veins, Liu Bowen continued to travel around the world. He would cut off or suppress any dragon veins that were steaming with mist and winding mountains and rivers. As time went by, one dragon vein after another was destroyed in his hands, including Kunlun Mountain, Emei Mountain, Taihang Mountain, etc.
Overview of the historical development of our dynasties, there were many emperors in the northwest and central plains, but no real great talent appeared in the late Ming Dynasty. Many people attributed this incident to Liu Bowen's cutting off the emperor's dragon veins within the Great Wall .
It is a pity that he cut off as many as 99 dragon veins in the pass, but stopped on the last dragon vein. It is not that Liu Bowen did not want to cut off this dragon vein, but that he did not dare to cut it and even ran away in panic.
Liu Bowen's Divine Punishment and the Rise of the Jurchens
"Every cause must have an effect" is a saying that the ancients believed in. Although Liu Bowen's killing of the dragon vein made great contributions to the Zhu Ming Dynasty, he himself also suffered his due retribution. For example, neither he nor his son died a good death.
Liu Bowen was framed by Hu Weiyong because of a power struggle. In the end, a cup of poison sent him to heaven. His eldest son was also hated by Hu Weiyong's party because of his father's affairs, and finally died and ended his life tragically.
Although the two sons escaped the persecution of Hu Weiyong's party, they fell into the war between Zhu Yunqi and Emperor Yongle and were executed by Zhu Di . It can be said that neither Liu Bowen nor his two sons ended well.
The personal cause and effect of historical trends is insignificant. Although Liu Bowen died, the dragon vein he left behind caused a change of dynasties a hundred years later. This unkilled dragon vein is Changbai Mountain.
The dragon veins in the pass were cut off. Liu Bowen and his party headed northeast. Not long after they arrived at the foot of Changbai Mountain, the weather changed drastically. Then a violent storm and snow swept through, and more than half of the people in the team fell ill.
Thinking of this, Liu Bowen thought that this was God's warning to him. If he insisted on killing the dragon vein, he would definitely be punished, so he took his people back to Changbai Mountain. The dragon vein was preserved, and all the efforts made in the early stage of its journey were in vain.
Many people say that places with dragon veins can breed emperors. Cutting off a dragon vein is equivalent to killing an emperor. In fact, this statement is somewhat wrong. Cutting off a dragon vein is more like cutting off a piece of water and soil.
A land and water nurture a person, and as time goes by, a great talent who can dominate the world will surely emerge from this person. Liu Bowen used money in Wuxi to destroy the mountains that the local people depended on for survival. This brought monetary benefits to the people in the short term, but in the long term it was not conducive to the sustainable development of .
The undamaged dragon veins of Changbai Mountain provide the Jurchens living at their feet with the means of survival. The number of these Jurchens continues to increase with each generation of reproduction.
During the period of Emperor Hongzhi, although the Jurchens suffered an unprecedented blow, they grew stronger day by day relying on the nourishment of Changbai Mountain. There were even talents like Nurhachi. He relied on the 13 pairs of armors left by his father to unify the Jurchens and establish the Empress Jin .
Nurhaci died and his son Huang Taiji inherited the throne and changed the post-Jin Dynasty to Manchu . During his reign, Huang Taiji almost unified the tribes at the foot of Changbai Mountain, such as the Mongolians on the grasslands and the ethnic groups on the Korean Peninsula.
In comparison, the situation in the Ming Dynasty was in the sunset. Not only did Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others rise up, but the Donglin Party above the court formed a party for personal gain and persecuted the people. Finally, in 1644 AD, the Ming Dynasty came to an end, and Emperor Chongzhen was hanged on the Coal Mountain.
Emperors of all dynasties are the leaders of their era, and countless Feng Shui masters in the world are serving them. If this is the case, why do dynasties change frequently? The reason is that dragon vein is not static but is based on the objective environment.
Water can carry a boat and capsize it. A dynasty can only treat the people under its governance well. If the people's wishes are met, the Dragon Vein will naturally prosper. From this, it can be seen that the decline of the Ming Dynasty was not due to the strong Dragon Vein on Changbai but that the Ming Dynasty was over.
After all, no matter how powerful the Manchu people with a population of just one million are, they can't compare to the tens of millions of Ming Dynasty people. What do you think differently about this?
