Feng shui map of ancient tomb

What does the feng shui layout of ancient tombs generally emphasize? Ancient times emphasized trinity.

The key points of feng shui in ancient tombs are quite complicated. Mainly emphasize the harmony between man and natural feng shui environment ~

Simply put, there are mountains behind, water in front, mountains behind and water in front to make money. This method is like the geomantic omen of building a house, because the ancients thought the grave was the house of the dead, so it was the same as him.

Of course, there are other ways. For example, it is good for the dead to point their feet at the notch of the mountain. In addition, we can't choose wetlands and sandy land, which is not good for future generations, and we can't choose low-lying places. These are all basic.

The advanced place is the place to choose the faucet, which is a bit particular. Simply put, the so-called faucet is the front of a mountain range or a prominent place.

I hope the above will help you.

Do all ancient tombs have feng shui? Yes Ancient times paid attention to feng shui. The living have Yang Zhai Feng Shui, and the dead have Yin Zhai Feng Shui. Especially the tombs of dignitaries are exquisite. Some people in later generations have the ability to "seek dragons and acupoints". According to feng shui, as long as it is a real treasure house of feng shui, it is usually a big tomb, and there will be many treasures in the tomb. It is very successful to use geomantic omen as a guide to determine unmarked cemeteries on the ground.

Moreover, since ancient times, the evaluation standard of Yin House Feng Shui has not changed much, and it is generally based on the book "Funeral Classics".

Feng Shui of Tombs in Song Dynasty Ancient people in China have long realized that human beings' attachment and adaptation to nature, food, clothing, housing and transportation, birth, illness and death are closely related to nature, and they must live in harmony. People will have problems if they are divorced from nature. People's feng shui thought is produced in the summary of nature, and "burying in the ground" and "harmony between man and nature" are the embodiment of this thought in funeral. The word "burial" vividly illustrates this concept: burial after death, covered with plants. Nowadays, it can be seen in many cemeteries. After the memorial service, people scattered flowers on the tombstone or planted flowers and trees around it. The ancient traditional custom of "burial" is still continuing.

Contemporary people pay more and more attention to the living environment. Before buying a house, they should choose a place and look around. So what kind of "living environment" should they choose for the deceased? Especially at present, cemeteries are all concentrated in the form of cemeteries. How many people can realize their wishes and choose a blessed land with good feng shui for their deceased relatives?

The principle of relying on mountains and rivers

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, green mountains and green waters are a beautiful environment that people generally yearn for, and it is also the basic principle of a good cemetery. Reflected in the theory of geomantic omen, it means that "the owner of a mountain will decide that water dominates wealth", which means that choosing a mountain can make future generations prosper; Choosing water can make money roll in. Stone is the bone of the mountain, water is the blood of the mountain, benevolent people enjoy Leshan, and wise people enjoy water. Water is the source of life, and there is life when there is water in mountains. A mountain without water seems to have no soul, so there is a saying in Feng Shui: If there is no water in the mountain, don't look for land again. Look at the water before you look at the mountain. It can be seen that "the master of mountains and the master of wealth" is the simplest and most incisive summary of investigating the geomantic omen of cemeteries. Some feng shui theories that focus on regulating qi emphasize storing wind and gathering qi. As the saying goes, "the method of geomantic omen is to get water first, then hide the wind" (burial book) thinks that the bigger the water surface, the thicker the gas gathering and the thicker the wealth.

The principle of leaning forward and leaning back, embracing each other left and right.

I'm afraid that people have heard a lot in the cemetery. This is feng shui's summary of the terrain around the cemetery. In fact, it is surrounded by mountains and there is a spacious basin in the middle. The "hole" of Feng Shui theory is in this basin, and all the mountains and rivers are called "sand". This kind of terrain is also reflected in the word "burial" mentioned above, which is the word "Fu" (pronounced as arch) below the word, which means holding hands together and forming a hollow cave in the middle. The ancients thought it was a good burial place, so the word "burial" itself reflected the ancients' view of funeral.

Principles of buckling and winding

In the past, quadrangles and temples had screen walls facing the gate, but modern people pay more attention to the design of the porch when decorating. Screen walls and porches are created to cope with geomantic omen, not just for beauty. Their function is to avoid and block Sha Qi from colliding head-on. How can a cemetery stop suffocation? The principle of geomantic omen advocates "straightness is blunt" and "bending is smooth". The road should be curved and the scenery should be winding, that is, winding. The winding path leads to a secluded place not only has the practical effect of geomantic omen, but also has a unique artistic effect, such as garden buildings in the south of the Yangtze River.

The principle of opening the hall

In ancient times, when someone became famous, became an official or made a fortune, people often talked about the geomantic omen of this person's ancestral grave, which was called: outstanding people and outstanding people. Feng Shui believes that Tang Ming's opening up is conducive to training talents and developing its career. Therefore, we should "go up the mountain to see the Shuikou" and "go into the cave to see Tang Ming". Tang Ming means that there must be a vast and flat place in front of the tomb. Only when Tang Ming is open and full of vitality can it have a bright future. On the contrary, cemeteries should not be located in narrow and limited valleys.

The principle of returning to nature

In the current urban planning, the cemetery is getting farther and farther away from the city. Why not be closer to the city? It is convenient to pay homage to the grave. Isn't it more humane? Isn't it more modern to be wrapped in the middle of a tall building? Here, the geomantic omen of Yin House is just the opposite of Yang House. City people advocate the integration of people and vehicles, man-machine (computer) integration, work first, efficiency first, while cemetery emphasizes nature first and the harmony between man and nature.

Principle of headwind water supply

The cemetery also pays attention to "upper hand and water". The upwind direction and water supply direction of Beijing are northwest, so the Ming Tombs are located in Changping District, northwest of Beijing. The northwest is determined according to the central axis of Beijing. This central axis starts from the Drum Tower in the north, passes through the Palace Museum and the front door, and ends at Yongdingmen in the south. The center is the Forbidden City, also known as the Forbidden City.

To sum up, the significance of geomantic omen is to help people choose good or bad luck, which is consistent with the starting point of choosing a cemetery for funeral to let the dead rest in peace and the living feel at ease. As for whether Feng Shui will benefit future generations, that is a matter of different opinions, but it is not wrong to choose an auspicious place. It is said that the famous architect I.M. Pei and the billionaire Bill ...

Which direction does the tomb face? The geomantic omen of Yinjia cemetery pays the most attention to the consideration of geomantic omen when selecting the site. It has a certain pattern arrangement and emphasis on dragon, sand, cave, water, hall, near case and far dynasty, including the requirements for geology, hydrology, orientation and soil of the foundation site, especially the integration with natural landscape, which has reached a very grand and perfect realm.

The entrance to the cemetery faces south, southeast and south-southeast. According to the geomantic scripture, when the wind blows, the gas will be lost, and when it meets the boundary water, the gas will stop. The ancients gathered qi, so that it did not lose, limiting its operation with the boundary water, so it was called Feng Shui. According to the law of geomantic omen, getting water is the best, and hiding wind is the second requirement. Why do you say that? Because even the grand qigong has its residual gas, although scattered, deep gas also has a place to gather.

The scripture says: water flowing out of the earth is called external air. It is this meaning that the outside air runs rampant and becomes the boundary water, and the vitality in the soil naturally stops gathering. The scripture also says: shallow and deep, feng shui is self-contained. Scholars are the mother of anger, and only when there is soil can there be anger. Gas is the mother of water, and there is water with gas. Therefore, the gas stored in dry and hot places is shallow, and the gas stored in flat places is deep. When the soil in the cemetery belongs to ancient or old tomb soil, it must be replaced with new soil from Kyrgyzstan. Graves built on the ridge or the top of the mountain will bring hard loss of face because of property preservation and heir problems. The grave is too high for the main family to enter. If you have to fill in the height because of the surrounding relationship, you can only fill in one foot. In the cemetery surrounded by high walls, the Lord will stay away from society and form a situation of isolation.

The layout of ancient tombs is within the whole Han empire or Han cultural circle, and the shape of tombs can be roughly divided into mainstream and collateral. The mainstream tomb form is a common tomb form in Han Dynasty, which inherits the vertical wooden tomb, soil cave tomb and the horizontal brick tomb developed from it since the pre-Qin period.

In terms of tributaries, such as cliff tombs in Sichuan, slate tombs in Shandong and shellfish tombs in the northeast. It belongs to a tomb with local characteristics, so it is highly special and unpopular.

Vertical pointed wooden tomb

The basic structure of the wooden tomb with vertical holes in the Han Dynasty is the same as that of the wooden tomb in the pre-Qin period, that is, a rectangular earth tomb is excavated vertically downward from the ground as a burial chamber for placing coffins.

The structure of the room is generally a rectangular box, and the combination of plates is mainly groove mortise and tenon. Coffins can be divided into spaces of different sizes for placing coffins and funerary objects.

The shape of coffins is mainly rectangular boxes, and there are also some cases with wide heads. As for the arc coffin cover widely used in modern times, it is extremely rare. The combination of coffin plates is mortise and tenon or coffin nail.

In addition to the tomb, there are various types of fillers, mostly white paste and charcoal, which are used to prevent moisture, and a few tombs have drainage facilities at the bottom. However, in order to facilitate the excavation of tombs, graves are generally bucket-shaped. In addition, in areas affected by Chu culture, the tomb passage is one of the most common tomb settings, which may be designed for the convenience of construction and has no absolute relationship with the identity of the tomb owner.

Types and origins of brick tombs

The construction of a typical brick tomb is basically to dig a vertical pit from the ground, open a horizontal hole at the bottom of the vertical pit, and then build a tomb with bricks in this horizontal hole and put the coffin in it. Some brick tombs have inclined tombs, while others are built at the bottom of vertical holes instead of horizontal holes. Due to the different brick building methods, the tombs of brick tombs can develop into quite complicated forms.

It is worth noting that the tomb type of brick tomb did not suddenly appear in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, and its origin may be traced back to the custom of earth cave tomb used in Shanxi and Shaanxi during the Warring States Period.

In fact, the shape of caves in soil cave tomb is similar to the concept of horizontal caves in brick tombs, that is, a vertical cave is dug down from the ground, and then a lateral cave is dug after reaching the bottom. Originally used as a niche for funerary objects, it gradually expanded into a tomb for coffins. But during the Warring States period, the caves were wide and shallow, and later they were transformed into deep and long caves.

In addition, in the late Warring States period, a vertical hollow brick tomb appeared in Henan Province. The structure of this tomb is basically the same as that of a wooden tomb with vertical holes. Only the wooden tomb was replaced by a rectangular hollow brick, and there was a wooden coffin in the brick tomb. Judging from the scale and funerary objects of this kind of tomb, the identity of the tomb owner can't be too high, and it may be a low-level official or scholar.

Social and cultural basis of structural transformation

The Han Dynasty is an era of great changes in the way of ancient tombs in China. Since then, the vertical hole wooden pit tomb, which has been the mainstream of tombs, was transformed into a brick tomb in the Han Dynasty. If we believe that the way a * * * treats the dead is basically based on a set of fixed customs, and this custom also reflects the popular values and religious views in society, then the change of this custom also means that people's ideas about certain beliefs and other social and economic conditions have changed.

The appearance of brick tombs can be discussed from the point that brick tombs are more durable than wooden coffins. Does the brick tomb come from a hope to make the tomb immortal? But why does this hope start from the middle and lower classes? Some people argue that this is because there is a lack of local wood, so people with poor economic strength use bricks instead.

Whether this is the case or not, at least we can infer from the change of tomb structure that the brick chamber tomb in Han Dynasty probably moved the brick chamber of the vertical brick chamber tomb to the cave tomb. Just like a group of tombs unearthed in Zhengzhou from the early Warring States period to the early Warring States period, they are arranged in chronological order. The first one is a vertical hole pit, and the second one is a vertical hole hollow brick tomb. Followed by soil cave tomb, then hollow brick tombs with earth holes, that is, brick tombs with horizontal holes, and finally there are long and narrow earth holes, which proves that the development of tomb shape has its inheritance and context to follow.

The tombs of the Tang Dynasty were made of tomb bricks, and there was no bond between bricks, so the dome was built. However, the brick tombs of Han Dynasty are not common (except the big tombs), and most of them are tomb pits or pits with wooden squares. Tombs in Ming and Qing dynasties are mostly brick structures with lime and iron pieces embedded in them. Some tombs in the Ming Dynasty were more than two meters thick (seven spokes and seven coupons) ... very strong. The depth of the Ming tombs from the ground is generally no more than six meters, and they can be excavated overnight without special methods. Han tombs are generally about 1 1 and 12 meters away from the surface, and the Western Zhou tombs are deeper. If the excavation work is to be completed overnight, special methods must be used. Especially the tombs of the Han Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty are very old, and miracles are hard to find. Which comes first? >>

How to choose a cemetery through geomantic omen in ancient times

How did the geomantic omen of ancient tombs in China come into being? I ching? As the saying goes, "the ancient burial was paid for by thick clothes, and it was buried in the middle of the field, without sealing or trees." Funerals were very simple in ancient times. With the development of human society, burying the dead has gradually developed into a major event. Many important cultural relics preserved today are the remains of tombs, such as the famous Egyptian pyramids, which were the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs four or five thousand years ago. From China to the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius strongly advocated "filial piety", and the trend of reburial became more and more popular, which lasted for several generations, and gradually formed a set of grand and complicated ritual and funeral systems, as well as various exquisite ones. Therefore, the tomb is considered as the first place to bury ancestors and parents, which can be used as a filial piety in the past and a reference for the future. Therefore, from the emperor to the people, they paid special attention to the placement of graves. As a Feng Shui master (Feng Shui master) who chooses the burial place for people, the Yin House comes first.

Geomantic omen theory holds that the geomantic omen of ancestral graves will affect the fate of future generations; The geomantic omen of a country's king's mausoleum will affect the fate of the whole country. The imperial tombs of past dynasties attached great importance to the choice of mausoleum sites in order to make the imperial power permanent. Imperial tombs are generally located near the capital, such as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties, all with Chang 'an as the capital, so most of the imperial tombs of these five dynasties are concentrated near Chang 'an. Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties all took Beijing as their capital, so the tombs of these three generations are all located near Beijing.

The Imperial Mausoleum in the Tang Dynasty is located in the northern part of Guanzhong Basin, in the mountainous areas of Ganxian, Liquan, Jingyang, Sanyuan, Fuping and Pucheng on the north bank of Weishan River, Shaanxi Province, stretching for more than 300 miles from east to west. The characteristic of the Tang Mausoleum is that "the mountain is the mausoleum". Different from the tombs of Qin and Han Dynasties, they were artificially rammed and the tombs were very high. The Tang Mausoleum was the first such tomb. Of the eighteen tombs of the Tang Dynasty, only the Xianling Mausoleum, the Zhuangling Mausoleum and the Duanling Mausoleum are located in the plain, and the rest are built under the peaks, commanding, forming a situation of "standing in the south and standing in the north".

Zhaoling is the mausoleum of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin. It is located at the main peak of Jiujun Mountain, 22 kilometers east of Liquan County, Shaanxi Province. Jiujun Mountain is steep, with an altitude of1.888m.. It is separated from Guanzhong Plain in the south and faces Taibai and Zhongnan peaks. The mountains on the east and west sides are undulating and ravines are criss-crossing, which sets off the precipitous majesty of the main peak of Lingshan. In addition to the guards of the surrounding mountains, the back is surrounded by water mirrors, and the front is Wei River, which is beautiful and magnificent.

From the main peak of Zhaoling to the south, there are 167 tombs of heroes and nobles, covering an area of about 300,000 mu. Li Shimin's Gong Xuan is condescending, with tombs lined on both sides, which set off the supreme spirit of Zhaoling.

Ganling is the burial tomb of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, located in Liangshan and northwest of Ganxian. According to New Tang Book? According to the Chronicle of Emperor Gaozong, Li Zhi was buried in Ganling in the first year of Yu Guangzhai (684), Ganling Road was restarted in the second year of Shenlong (706), and Wu Zetian was buried in the tomb. The elevation of Liangshan is 1049 meters, which is conical. There are three peaks at the top of the mountain, with the highest peak in the middle, that is, the Ganling underground palace, which is the main body of the mausoleum, is steeper than Jiujun Mountain. The two peaks in the south are relatively low, facing east and west and similar in shape, just like natural gates and pavilions. They each have a mound shaped like * * *, commonly known as "Nipple Mountain". There is Leopard Valley in the east and Desert Valley in the west. The whole terrain is like a human body lying on its back with its head facing north and its feet facing south. Ganling is a mausoleum because of mountains, and a tomb because of mountains. Magnificent momentum and scale, the cemetery can be divided into inner city and outer city. The foundation sites of the inner city wall are 1450m, 1450m, 1582m, 1482m respectively, and the city walls are all rammed. There are doors on all sides of the inner city. There are stone carvings in the cemetery. Except for a pair of stone lions at the four gates of the inner city and six stone horses at the north gate (one existing pair), the rest of the stone statues are arranged between the second and third gates in the south ... from south to north, there are a pair of Chinese watches, winged beasts and ostriches, five pairs of stone horses and drivers. There are ten pairs of stone figures, as well as wordless tablets, sacred tablets and sixty-one statues of "Chief Fan", which do not reduce the style of the palace.

The Imperial Mausoleum of the Northern Song Dynasty, starting from Yong 'an Mausoleum, its father, and ending at Yongtai Mausoleum, its father Xu, has eight mausoleums, which are concentrated on the platform on the south bank of Luohe River in Gongxian County, Henan Province. With Zhitian Town as the center, a considerable mausoleum is formed within a distance of only ten kilometers.

Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, is located in Gongxian County, far from the capital Bianjing. The main reason is that the landscape here is beautiful, the soil quality is excellent, and the water level is low, which is suitable for digging graves and burying rich people. There are few rooms in Song Yue in the south and natural hazards in the Yellow River in the north, which can be described as "resting on the Yellow River and stepping on Song Yue" and is regarded by Mr. Feng Shui as an auspicious place where "mountains and high waters grow".

Mausoleum in Song Dynasty is different from other generations in terrain selection. Mausoleums of past dynasties were either commanding or surrounded by mountains and waters, while Song Ling turned his back on Songshan Mountain ... >>
