    In ancient times, due to the underdevelopment of science and technology, people believed in Feng Shui very much. As a result, some rural sayings about feng shui have also been handed down, such as "the poor do not move, the rich do not move the grave", and "ten times the grave is moved, nine times the grave is lost", etc. But in any case, the ancestors were able to look forward to living a prosperous life without being trapped by poverty.

    And this rural saying, "Don't move the grave, ten moves and nine defeats", is naturally the older generation's attention to moving graves, so is there any truth to this saying?

    As the saying goes, "Don't move the grave, ten moves and nine defeats" means:

    The ancestors believed that once the grave was placed, it should not be moved easily, let alone moved easily. Otherwise, there will be a risk of nine defeats in ten moves, and this is not good for the main family, so there is a saying that "ten times to move the grave and nine times to lose". Then why did your ancestor say this:

    The superstitious statement of the ancestors: In ancient times, the ancestors were very superstitious when science was not developed. They believe that before the burial, the tomb of the ancestor cemetery has been observed by the "masters", and found some positions that are conducive to the development of future generations and buried, so there is also a saying that "Shanguan people, water and wealth".

    After determining the location of the ancestral grave and burying it, it cannot be moved at will, otherwise it will affect the luck of future generations, so there is a saying that "do not move the grave, ten moves and nine defeats." However, the ancestors believed that if the grave had to be moved, the following reasons should also be met, such as the ancestral tomb being destroyed by nature, and the ancestral tomb being occupied. However, the ancients would not have moved their graves for the sake of conservatism.

    After determining the location of the ancestral grave and burying it, it cannot be moved at will, otherwise it will affect the luck of future generations, so there is a saying that "do not move the grave, ten moves and nine defeats." However, the ancestors believed that if the grave had to be moved, the following reasons should also be met, such as the ancestral tomb being destroyed by nature, and the ancestral tomb being occupied. However, the ancients would not have moved their graves for the sake of conservatism.

    But for our descendants, don't move the grave at will, and this is not about feng shui, but for other reasons:

    We believe that "the dead are great, and the earth is safe", and once a person dies, it is correct to let the deceased "enter the earth for peace", rather than moving in and out to disturb the deceased for their own selfishness. Just like a person falls asleep at night, if someone disturbs the person is respectful, naturally it is not, therefore, this grave cannot be moved casually.

    Of course, there is also a layer of meaning, as the saying goes, "filial piety comes first", and our country has been advocating filial piety since ancient times, if the ancestor of the family dies, he can not be filial piety in the world, so after the death of the ancestor, they must be properly arranged. Therefore, it is disrespectful to the ancestors to move the grave back and forth frequently, so for the sake of this "filial piety", we cannot move the grave casually.

    To sum up: here I think that the rural proverb: "Don't move the grave, ten moves and nine defeats" is not only what the older generation often says, but a kind of "filial piety inheritance" in it.

    Therefore, this relocation of the grave has nothing to do with the feng shui that the ancestors believed. Moreover, moving graves frequently not only wastes financial resources and energy, but is also naturally disrespectful to the deceased.

    Don't move the grave, nine out of ten will be defeated"This proverb comes mainly from the north, and there is no such saying in the south. Northerners pay attention to tomb sweeping, and once they are in the ground, try not to move. Instead, the second burial will take place in the south.

    After 3 5 years of burial, southerners will find someone to calculate the auspicious day of the zodiac and bury the deceased for the second time.

    I think it makes sense. Because moving graves is a very troublesome matter, which not only consumes labor but also money. Also, many families in history fell after the graves were moved. Of course, this is a more superstitious statement.

    Many proverbs are circulating in rural areas that have gone through the life and work of the older generations. Rural embroidery covers a very wide area, and there are many people who are related to those who are related. For example, what does today's proverb mean, "Do not protect the grave, ten actions"?

    Is it reasonable? When there is an old man in the countryside, the descendants will bury the deceased in the village and concentrate in the village. Over time, there was a serious circle in the countryside. Since there are really too many graves in the graves and worship is inconvenient, so many people will now move the graves of their family members from the graves in the village to the cultivated fields, so they don't have to worry about their ancestors.

    It is also more convenient for future generations. Rural elders pay special attention to the geographical location of ancestral graves, people believe that the location of ancestral graves, there are many statements, there are many statements, if they are very unintentional, it will affect future generations. So, do you feel like a grave?

    Do you have a reason?

    In fact, this proverb is the autonomous owner of the ancient culture of filial piety. Filial piety is the first, and filial piety is still in the present. They are all first.

    Xiao Xiao is not only filial, but also a man is filial. It is reported that after the death of an old man in a family, it must be in the same, the grave is like the ancestral home, it cannot be turned over and destroyed, if the ancestor is destroyed, it is equivalent to disturbing the life of the ancestor, it is the performance of the ancestor is not filial piety, so you can not move.

    In fact, the phrase "don't move the grave, ten moves" says not science, but because people want everything they go through to be a wonderful thing, people still pay attention to the grave stuff. When peasants move through the grave, they not only choose the time of the grave in advance, but more and more seconds, the location of the grave moves to the grave.

    While society is growing now, people's minds are constantly changing. People still pay attention to the battle of the graves, and even people will say that they are not going well, they will be resettled, this is not the same. We should look for reasons in ourselves.

    "Don't move the grave, nine out of ten will be defeated".This proverb expresses the respect for the deceased in our traditional culture, in our country's customs and culture, it is often believed that the deceased is the greatest, so the grave of the deceased cannot be moved casually after entering the earth, otherwise it will destroy the feng shui fortune of a family

    Now, with the continuous construction and development of land, a lot of grave land is occupied, so many families need to face the problem of moving graves, although many people are not willing to move, but there is nothing to be done, if you have to really move the grave, then there are actually a lot of particulars and taboos about this matter.

    In the process of moving graves, the most taboo is to let the sun shine, so when moving the grave, you must pay attention not after the sun comes out, you must rush before the sun comes out, and in the process of moving the grave, you must cover the coffin with a cloth, otherwise it is also disrespectful to the deceased.

    GeneralIf you move a grave, you should choose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and ask someone to see what the feng shui of the place you are moving to, if it is too hasty, it is believed that it will affect the fortune of the family

    China is a relatively traditional country, deeply influenced by the ideology and culture of ancient times, although there are some superstitious factors, but this proverb is also a manifestation of China's traditional funeral culture.

    The main meaning is that it is not allowed to move the grave at will and change the original ancestral grave, because the original selected place is very good, and if it is changed suddenly, some problems may arise.

    That is to say, do not move the cemetery at home, it is easy to cause the decay of the home, which actually illustrates a feng shui problem, because the Chinese attach more importance to water and think that moving graves will destroy feng shui.

    There is a saying among the people"Don't move the grave, nine out of ten will be defeated"This is the experience of the ancestors, and there is a great mystery in it. In the eyes of the ancients, the cemetery was not only a cemetery, but also a blessed place for the family, and they attached great importance to the cemetery. "Don't move the grave, nine out of ten are defeated", there is a lot of emphasis here.

    The Rise of Burial:

    The ancients often said that "the earth is safe, the dead are great", in ancient times, people must be buried in the soil after death, and such a custom is still pursued today, but according to historical records, in the historical years of 18,000 years ago, the cave people on the top of the mountain have the consciousness of burial, and with the continuous development of the times, and then formed a more mature burial method Moreover, the ideology of the ancients is more traditional, more inclined to the soul belief, most people believe that after death, people will go to the underground world, and human beings are mainly farmingThe concept of returning to the land is also implicated, that is, it is in line with the endless creation and the cycle of life, and then this concept is becoming more and more serious.

    Purpose of the grave relocation:

    The purpose of moving graves seems to depend on two points, one is initiative and the other is passivity, why do you say that, it is worth saying that in many film and television dramas, you can see such a picture, after people die, they are buried everywhere, and there are mass graves everywhere, and the general descendants of people who are promising, in order to be able to show their identity, and then make a big move to put forward the idea of "moving the ancestral grave", but most people's ideas are more superstitious, and then for the sake of future generations to glorify their ancestors, and then change the feng shui of the ancestors, it is also a verification" The ancestral grave is smoking".

    Of course, there is also a kind of passivity, which is forced to be helpless, because the ancestors lived in a different place during the war and could not return to their homeland after death, and the other situation is that they were damaged by natural forces and had to "move the grave".

    Don't move the grave, nine out of ten will be defeated

    For this saying, in fact, it is not superstition, but there is a certain truth, and this sentence is very straightforward, telling future generations that such a practice is not beneficial, whether it is modern or ancient, it is actually not difficult to find a treasure of feng shui, but the most difficult thing is that it is sad to feel a hurdle in the heart, what is it? That is the concept of the deceased: "After death, it is great, and when it is buried in the earth, it is safe".

    In fact, this sentence also speaks of an important traditional virtue, that is, "filial piety comes first", filial piety is the first of a hundred lines, and children's behavior should not go against the wishes of their parents, family elders and ancestors.

    To sum up, although people today may rarely hear about things like moving graves, in the past, it was a very normal thing to move graves, and people in the past paid great attention to the theory of feng shui and attached great importance to the tombs of their ancestors.

    Nine defeats out of ten are not superstitions, and the whole family has not been able to ,...... for several years after seeing several grave moves

    Regarding the relocation of graves in rural areas, the older generation in rural areas say that this is not good, of course, it is not good for future generations, rural people pay attention to entering the soil for peace, and the ancestors are buried in one place, so they should not easily disturb him, which is also a respect for the deceased.

    In the past, people said that they should not move the grave, ten moves and nine defeats, which means that moving the grave is an unlucky thing, do not move the grave easily, plus the previous farmers are all burials, and the relocation of the grave is bound to make the deceased see the light of day, some because of the short time of death, the corpse smells, and the person who moves the grave may also cause bacterial infection, and no one wants to do such a thing.

    If you bury a person in one place, don't touch him easily, and people in the past also paid attention to feng shui, which means that burial is not just a place to bury.

    Of course, people nowadays don't pay attention to these things, and they don't believe in them, and people die like lights going out.

    The first is the reform of the rural funeral system, and the second is that there is a factor that may implement the relocation of graves, and after the cremation is an urn, which is also considered for future relocation, after all, the relocation of the countryside has been very popular, and it is not possible to relocate the village one day.

    Therefore, many farmers have such worries that when they move in the future, the graves of their ancestors will also be moved, and after cremation, it is only an urn, so it is quite easy to relocate.

    For example, we have this phenomenon here, at the beginning because of the construction of the railway to move the grave, this is the first time, but I didn't expect that there is a second time, that is to say, a grave moved twice, and the body in the coffin has not been completely corrupted, it is not easy to relocate, everyone saw this phenomenon, and decided to implement cremation in their hearts, which is relatively simple and hygienic, in case the grave needs to be moved one day, it will not cause great trouble.

    Although people don't pay so much attention to it now, no one wants to move the grave, and they all hope that they can be buried in the ground, but who can predict what will happen in the future, whether to move the grave or not is really not up to us.

    There is another saying that the deceased is great, respect the deceased, do not easily disturb them, although we do not believe in ghosts and gods, but respect and faith still have to have, no one is willing to move the grave until the last resort.
