1, the principle of mountains and rivers
The burial ground should be surrounded by mountains and water. Green mountains and green waters are a beautiful environment that people generally yearn for, and it is also the basic principle of good feng shui in cemeteries. The theory of geomantic omen embodies that "the owner of a mountain decides water to control 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.
2. The principle of tolerance.
I'm afraid people have heard a lot about the graveyard of "left green dragon and right white tiger, suzaku in front and Xuanwu behind", which is Mr. Feng Shui's summary of the surrounding graveyard topography. In fact, it is surrounded by mountains and there is a spacious basin in the middle. The "hole" in Feng Shui is in this basin, and the mountains and rivers around it are called "sand". This kind of terrain is also reflected in the word "burial" mentioned earlier, that is, the word "fu" below the word (pronounced arch), which means holding hands and holding hands together to form a hollow cave in the middle. The ancients thought that such a burial place was beneficial to Feng Shui, so the word "burial" itself reflected the ancients' views on funeral.
3. The principle of buckling and winding
The road to the graveyard should be winding, the mountains and rivers should be winding, and there should be no suffocation coming straight. How to prevent frontal collision 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. The geomantic omen of this cemetery conforms to the principle of burial.
4. The principle of hall opening.
Tang Ming in the cemetery must be open, which is conducive to cultivating talents and developing the cause. 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 grave, and Tang Ming is open and full of vitality, so it has a bright future. On the contrary, cemeteries should not be located in narrow and limited valleys.
5. The principle of returning to nature
When choosing the burial place, we should follow the modern situation. You see, 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 cemetery feng shui is just the opposite of residential feng shui. Urban people advocate the integration of people and vehicles, man-machine (computer) integration, work first and efficiency first, while the geomantic omen of burial places emphasizes the nature first and the harmony between man and nature.
To sum up, the significance of cemetery geomantic omen lies in helping people choose good or bad luck, which is consistent with the starting point of choosing 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.
