Why did the Qing court dig up the ancestral tomb of Hong Xiuquan and destroy feng shui

It is indeed Feng Shui. Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement.

After the great outbreak, Emperor Xianfeng.

Very panicked, he ordered ** to find out the ancestral grave of the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, and after finding it, he must destroy the ancestral grave of the three generations of his ancestors. The purpose is indeed to destroy the feng shui in the homes of these anti-thieves. Such a practice is likely to be caused by the superstition of the ancients.

In ancient times, the theory of Feng Shui was highly respected, and some people believed that Feng Shui would determine a person's fate. And Feng Shui.

It is also one of the more mysterious branches of ancient culture, because it does have a certain role, but to this day science still cannot explain it.

And Hong Xiuquan. The ancestral grave of the family is in a place called Furong Ridge in Guangdong. This place turned out to be famous for Feng Shui. It is said that there is a feng shui master named Lai Buyi.

I have visited Guangdong, in northern Guangdong.

Dragon veins have been found in the area. And Furong Peak is what he thinks is the land of the dragon vein. He also left a poem saying that if the body of his ancestors is buried in Furong Mountain, he will be a prince for generations to come.

This is a folk story. And after hearing this story, the ancestors of Hong Xiu's ancestors really buried the cemetery in Furong Mountain.

Although Hong Xiuquan has indeed been the emperor for more than ten years, this is similar to the feng shui treasure of Furong Ridge.

Whether there is a connection or not, in fact, it is difficult to say. But at that time, if the imperial court heard that the ancestral tomb of Hong Xiu's entire family was buried on the dragon vein of folklore, the ruler might have been anxious. The dragon vein is just an ethereal concept in the eyes of modern people, but in ancient times it was a very expensive territory.

The last thing a ruler can hear is that someone has a dragon vein and is likely to threaten his rule.

It is not without reason that Emperor Xianfeng would be in a hurry to dig up Hong Xiuquan's ancestral grave. From the ruler's point of view, regardless of whether the legend is true or not, and whether the ancestral tomb of Hong Xiu's family is a treasure of feng shui or not, it is a big mistake for Hong Xiuquan to covet the throne. Digging up his family's ancestral grave is a small punishment, destroying the feng shui of Hong Xiu's family, so that he can no longer fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Hong Xiuquan (1814-1864), formerly known as Hong Renkun and Hong Huoxiu, was originally a native of Fuyuanshui Village, Huaxian County, Guangdong Province (now Huadu District, Guangzhou City), and later moved to Guanlubu Village. Hong Xiuquan was the leader of the peasant rebel army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, called the "Heavenly King", in 1853 with Nanjing as the capital, renamed Tianjing, in 1864 died of illness in Tianjing, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom perished shortly after his death.

According to a British translator and consul of Ningbo, Fu Lici, who was not hostile to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, recorded in his book "Travels to Tianjing": "The king of heaven has a crown, made of pure gold, weighing eight catties; There was also a necklace made of gold, which also weighed eight pounds. His embroidered gold dragon robe also had gold buttons.

He ascended from the inner palace to the main hall to face the court, and also took a golden car, called the holy dragon car, and led the ...... with a beautiful woman"The ancestors of the Hong family were just farmers, why did Hong Xiuquan become rich and prosperous? Does this have anything to do with the location of the ancestral tomb of the Hong family? Is Hong Xiuquan's defeat related to the excavation of the ancestral grave?

Hong Xiuquan's ancestral tomb is located in the north of Huaxian County, Guangdong Province, Furong Ridge is located in the north of Furong Town, 360 meters above sea level, in the north of the county, among the mountains, the peaks overlap, like a hibiscus. And because it lies in the back of the plain in the middle of the county, it is lined up, like a screen, so it is called Furong Mountain. In the south of the mountain, there is "Baishui Plant", also known as "Xishan Waterfall", its shape is like Bai Lian from 50 meters high to the fifth level of pouring, splashing stones and flying flowers, pouring into the pool, its sound is booming.

There was once a literati and ink writer who sang that "a section of clouds hangs in the cliff, and the green mountains of the slag calendar type are divided into jade dragons." It is difficult to spy on the overwhelming river, and the sound is terrifying. When the heat was shivering, the volleys touched the stones and rained ......”

Although Furong Peak is a treasure of feng shui, it has been rarely known by outsiders for a long time. Later, it was discovered by a feng shui master Lai Buyi, and Furong Ridge gradually became famous. Lai Buyi is a native of Fenggang Village, Dingnan, Jiangxi Province, about 1276 at the end of the Song Dynasty, born in a famous family of feng shui, formerly known as Lai Wenjun, and Buyi is his self-name.

When he was a teenager, he got the true inheritance of his father Lai Chengshan, and at the age of 18, he walked the rivers and lakes, and made a living from feng shui physiognomy. He found the "dragon vein" extending south in the mountains of northern Guangdong, which was magnificent, and he was very happy and determined to follow the "dragon vein". He followed the "dragon vein" out of Nanxiong, crossed the Qujiang River, went down to Yingde, crossed Qingyuan, entered the northern mountainous area of Huashan, and came to Furong Ridge.

He saw that the momentum was extraordinary, and thought that this was the "knot point" of the dragon vein. Before leaving, the mouth occupies a poem: "The head is on the hibiscus mountain, the foot is on the altar of the earth, there is a covered boat post on the right, there is a warbler bee sinus (the meaning of 'cave') on the left, the fish puts the water mouth, and the lion and elephant guard the gatehouse."

Whoever is buried in the middle will be the prince and prince from generation to generation. ”

Some people believe that this has something to do with the digging of Hong Xiuquan's ancestral grave, and it is difficult to delve into the facts. It's just that Hong Xiuquan, whose ancestral grave was dug up, will definitely be affected a little, so Emperor Xianfeng's digging of Hong Xiuquan's ancestral grave still played a certain role in suppressing Hong Xiuquan's forces.

Because in the eyes of Qing **, Hong Xiuquan is a sinful person, and he has to connect the nine clans, so he dug his ancestral grave.

I think there is a reason for this, and it is also possible that there is a kind of hatred for Hong Xiuquan, so I will dig up Hong Xiuquan's ancestral grave to deter others.

It turns out that at the southern foot of this mountain, there are three small hills protruding, and the famous land altar in the center is the largest; The ones on the left and right are respectively called the Covered Boat Gang and the Warbler Bee Sinus. It is about a kilometer away from the south, and it is exactly opposite the three hills. Among them, there is a famous Aoyu Gang (later generations falsely rumored to be the carp Gang), the left and right sides are a few hundred meters apart respectively, there are two mountains called "Lion" and "Elephant", all of which are named ...... by their shapesAfter living in Furong for a few days, Lai Buyi said goodbye to the villagers and left.

I heard that he followed the "dragon vein" again, and later went to the South China Sea, Shunde, Panyu, Bao'an, until Kowloon lived for a period of time, and then rented a small boat to go to Hainan Island, and since then disappeared, I don't know what to do, only the poems he left have been circulating in Huaxian County.

During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a whole family of the Hong nationality in Shikeng Town, Meixian County, Guangdong Province to settle in Fuyuanshui Village, Huaxian County, less than two years, Hong Laohan passed away and was buried near Fuyuanshui Village for the first time. Hong Yinglun, the second son of Hong Laohan, knows a little about feng shui physiognomy, and after he learned about the feng shui poems of Furong Ridge, he went to Furong Ridge to inspect according to the poem, and saw that it was indeed a treasure of feng shui. So he chose a location, moved his father's body here, and rebuilt the tomb.

The tomb is shaped like a Taishi chair, built with blue bricks, the tombstone made of granite in the middle, the inscription on the stele is engraved "Jiaqing 20 years of autumn valley Dan auspicious day reconstruction", in the middle is "Qing Xianzu Kao Gong Sanhong Gong Tomb", the inscription is "worship male Yingyi, Yinglun, Yinglu, Yingwei, Sun Huixuan stand together. ”

Can Lai Buyi's prophecy really come true? In 1851, Hong Xiuquan, the sixth-generation descendant of Hong Gongsan, launched the Taiping Rebellion in Guangxi that shocked China and foreign countries, swept half of China, made the capital Tianjing, and became the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. But he only served as the king of heaven for thirteen years, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom failed, and he couldn't realize Lai Buyi:

generation after generation of princes". Some people say that this is because the Qing court sent people to dig up the ancestral grave of Hong Xiuquan. What's going on?

After the outbreak of the Taiping Rebellion, the road was like a bamboo, which caused great panic in Emperor Xianfeng. On the other hand, he ordered: to find out the traitors Hong Xiuquan, Feng Yunshan, and Wei Zhengzu, and first excavate ...... through Huaxian County, Guangdong, and Guiping, GuangxiSecretly inspect the states and counties to make secret visits, so that the graves of the first rebels and the three generations of rebels are confirmed, and they are dug up, and after they sit on the mountain, they are all chiseled and cut off, so as to quench the flames of rebellion and punish the great sorrow. After receiving the edict, Mu Chongling, the magistrate of Huaxian County, was ordered to urgently dig up the ancestral grave of Hong Xiuquan.

Although Hong Xiuquan's ancestral tomb was destroyed, perhaps the king's aura accumulated in Furong Peak was too strong! Hong Xiuquan was still the "king of heaven" for more than ten years until he died of illness. The Qing court's excavation of Hong Xiuquan's ancestral tomb seems to have played a part-part role, Lai Buyi's prophecy of "generations of princes and princes" has not been realized, and the Qing Dynasty of Aixin Jueluo still survives for decades.
