We are indeed very vigilant and concerned about Feng Shui and Wang Qi. After King Wei of Chu, the six kingdoms were unified
First Emperor of Qin
It’s also taboo. He can’t tolerate others to covet Ying Tianxia. In the year of death, he staged a unique scene of “calming the king” in the East tour.
Coincidentally, this incident also occurred in Nanjing. Only the position of “tianziqi” has changed compared with that of King Wei of Chu. It is not in Lulong mountain in the northwest of Nanjing, but in Fangshan in the southeast.
Emperor Qinshihuang’s eastward journey is really to calm the emperor’s anger
The incident of Emperor Qinshihuang’s East patrol of the town “tianziqi” occurred in the 37th year of Emperor Qinshihuang (210 BC), and clues can be found in the official history.
According to the “historical records of the first emperor of Qin” (Volume VI), this year, the first emperor of Qin did travel to the East, “in October of the thirty seventh year, the first emperor traveled.” At that time, Prime Minister LISS accompanied him on a trip. After starting from Xi’an, we arrived at Yunmeng (now in Xiaogan City, Hubei Province) in November, offered a distant sacrifice to Yu Shun in the direction of Jiuyi mountain, and then went down the river.
When arriving near Nanjing, take the ferry from the river (one says the southwest of Mufu mountain, the other says near Qixia mountain), enter the urban area, then cross xiaodanyang, and then go south along the Taihu Lake waterway to Zhejiang. When I returned, I also crossed the river from the river.
Because the first emperor of Qin traveled to the East, the earliest “highway” – qinhuangchi road appeared in Nanjing. This road was the national highway of Qin at that time, which was exclusively used by the royal family. It’s very picturesque to run a horse on it. It’s as refreshing as driving a private car on a closed highway today, so it’s called “chidao”.
Why did Qinshihuang choose such a route to the east? According to the records of “public opinion”, it is mainly to suppress the “son of heaven gas” in the southeast region. Before, the magician who was good at watching Qi told Qin Shihuang, “Jiangdong (Nanjing side) has the spirit of the emperor”, and Qin Shihuang decided to travel east to suppress it with his real dragon emperor.
According to the “Jing Ding Jian Kang Zhi” (Volume VI), when the first emperor of Qin was crossing the river, the warlock looked at the Qi again, and reported the detailed location of this air of the emperor and when it would breed a new emperor to the first emperor of Qin one by one: “five hundred years later, Jinling will have the air of the emperor”. It means that in 500 years, a new dynasty will be born in Nanjing.
According to legend, this magician went to the fairyland of the East China Sea the previous year to find the “elixir of immortality” for the first emperor of Qin (read f ú, not sh ì). Xushi, also known as Xufu, was once the imperial physician of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty. It is said to be from Jinshan Town, Ganyu County, Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, where there is still “Xufu village”.
Qin Shihuang heard that it was good. Since he began, the surname Ying will be forever
emperor
And. Qin Shihuang then stopped in Nanjing and asked the magicians to “operate” on Jinling geomantic omen, which is also the most famous geomantic event in Chinese history that occurred in the Qin and Han Dynasties.
“Calming the king” magic one: change the direction of the river
How did Qinshihuang suppress the tianziqi in Jinling? It used to be a victory hating technique with a strong color of ancient witchcraft. According to historical materials and legends, there are three spells: first, let the river change its direction; Two whip chisel gas mountain; Three changes in reputation, reducing local reputation.
This is also what the ancients called “three board axe” for calming the king. Qin Shihuang’s axe was to change the flow direction of the river and discharge the earth vein of Jinling.
The Qinhuai River, originally known as “canglongpu”, is an important inland river near Nanjing. It flows through the urban area of Nanjing and is the most important waterway that gave birth to the civilization of the Six Dynasties and the imperial culture of Nanjing. At the same time, it is also a river with “solar terms”. In the second year of the Ming emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, during the chaos between Shen Chong and Su Jun, 3000 people jumped into the Qinhuai River and killed themselves.
There are two sources of the Qinhuai River, the Eastern source from Jurong Maoshan, the Western source from SHUSHUI Donglu mountain, to meet fangshandai in Jiangning. It is said that the water did not originally flow through the urban area of Nanjing. Emperor Qinshihuang made people cut off the Changlong near Fangshan, and let the water flow northward, passing through the whole city, washing away the king’s spirit of Nanjing. The reason why Qinhuai River flows northward is said to be what Qinshihuang did in those days.
Today, there is a stone kneeling mountain near Fangshan Mountain, which is said to be the place where the first emperor of Qin cut off Changlong. The Qinhuai River was also named “Qin” because of the geomantic event created by the first emperor of Qin.
“Calming the king” Magic 2: whip Lingshan
Why did the Warlock of Qinshihuang choose to start in Fangshan? This is due to Feng Shui.
Fangshan Mountain, also known as Tianyin mountain, is a wonderful mountain in the southern suburbs of Nanjing and is one of the “48 scenic spots of Jinling”. Located on the Bank of the Qinhuai River in the south of Dongshan Town, Jiangning District, this mountain is one of the five geomantic treasure lands in Nanjing, surrounded by numerous tombs of previous dynasties. The mountain is square, towering and towering, and its top is flat as if it were cut, so it is called Fangshan; And because its four corners are square, like a stone seal made by heaven, it is called “Tianyin mountain”.
“Seal” is the exclusive name of the emperor’s seal after Qin Dynasty. It is the only one like the emperor calling himself “Zhen”. There is also a “longan”, or “Bagua spring”, on the Fangshan Mountain. This spring is not affected by the drought, and it gurgles constantly all the year round. What’s more strange is that all the places outside Fangshan are black soil, only the red soil around the foot of this mountain, which some people call scattered inkpad.
Now, visitors to Fangshan scenic spot may hear such a legend: one day, the Jade Emperor played with his golden seal. Accidentally, the gold seal fell to his feet and fell into the mortal world. Impartiality is falling on today’s Fangshan, turning into a big mountain. Later, the Jade Emperor sent guards Qinglong and Huanglong to the earth to protect the mountain, so the East and west of Fangshan formed Qinglong and Huanglong Mountains.
Therefore, Fangshan is also a “spirit mountain”. After the first emperor of Qin vented the local Qi, he was afraid that it would not be completely broken, and then he used a divine whip to beat this Lingshan. This is the second trick of the first emperor of Qin to “suppress the king’s Qi”.
Qin Shihuang hoped to break the mountain root, but the place where the whip fell was not the key. The mountain root was not broken, but Fangshan was waist high. The upper half flew more than 30 miles southeast and fell into the lake. The mountain was red, which is now “Chishan”. There are also several pieces, larger ones falling 10 miles away, forming the “earth mountain” in Dongshan Town today; Smaller ones form “bamboo mountains”. In addition, on March 17, 1946,
the kuomintang
The legend of Daishan, where the great spy Dai Li crashed, was also formed in this event (see the chapter “Legend of the mausoleum • the first spy Tomb of the Republic of China – Dai Li’s tomb” for details about Dai Li’s crash).
Qinglong and Huanglong Mountains were connected together, close to Fangshan Mountain, which was also broken by Qinshihuang with a whip, forming a “half side mountain” (the common name of Qinglong mountain). Qinglong’s eyes were also hurt, and he kept crying, forming the “Tangshan hot spring” that Chiang Kai Shek and song Meiling liked to bathe later.
Obviously, this is folklore. The formation of Fangshan Mountain and its surrounding landforms is the result of hundreds of millions of years of geological movement. Which is the first emperor of Qin? However, it was revealed that the first emperor of Qin might have been to Fangshan to “suppress the son of heaven”.
“Calming the king” Magic 3: name changing and spoiling
After the first emperor of Qin cut off the “son of heaven” in Nanjing, people forgot this place for ever, and changed the Jinling of King Wei of Chu to “moling”.
What does moling mean? It’s a disgraceful former name for Nanjing. It’s the third trick of Qin Shihuang’s “calming the king’s Qi” – changing names, spoiling and insulting it, in order to reduce Nanjing’s reputation.
There is an idiom called “prepare horses and sharpen weapons”, which means to feed horses and sharpen weapons before a war. Moling, in the eyes of Qinshihuang, was the place where he fed horses. This move is very vicious. After man-made destruction, animals are allowed to spoil Nanjing, a geomantic treasure land with the spirit of heaven. Today, there is still a habit of herding horses in Jiangsu. After the death of Qin Hui, the traitor of the Southern Song Dynasty, his cemetery was also used by later generations to herd horses and sheep to trample on him.
Qin Dynasty placed moling under the jurisdiction of Zhangjun, followed by “moling pass” and “moling bridge”. In the Western Han Dynasty, moling was a county. In 128 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed his son Liu Juan, king of Jiangdu, as Marquis of moling.
However, Emperor Qin Shihuang’s painstaking use of the wrong place, soon after calming the “son of heaven” in Nanjing, died on the way to the East, lost his soul to Outlands, and his Qin Empire collapsed three years after his death.
However, the emperor Qi root of Nanjing had not been broken by the first emperor of Qin Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, some magicians said, “yellow flags and purple covers can be seen between Dou and Niu, and there is the spirit of the emperor in Jiangdong”. Sure enough, less than 500 years later, the first emperor appeared in Nanjing. In 229 ad, Sun Quan moved his capital to Nanjing shortly after he became emperor in Wuchang, from which the great emperor of the eastern Wu was born.
Then simarui came to Nanjing. At that time, a magician found that purple clouds often appeared on Jiangshan mountain in the eastern suburbs. Someone who would look at the Qi told him that this was Jiangdong “still imperial”. At that time, there was a rumor that “five horses traveled the Xijiang River, and one horse turned into a dragon”. In 317 ad, simarui was happy to become emperor in Nanjing, creating the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which had been the capital of Nanjing for the longest time.
Dig ditches and bury swords in Liu Bang’s hometown to break the “dragon vein”
The geomantic omen event created by Qinshihuang is far more than this one, but it is most famous for breaking the “son of heaven in the Southeast”.
In the process of traveling to the East and abroad, the first emperor of Qin had to take warlocks who were good at looking at and looking at the weather. Wherever he went, he would first look at the geography and understand Feng Shui. It is said that when the first emperor of Qin toured the Fengyi area of Pengcheng (today’s Xuzhou), warlocks found that there was a “water dragon potential” here, so the first emperor of Qin made people dig ditches and bury swords to break the “dragon vein”.
There are many legends in Xuzhou that Liu Bang can be emperor. The most popular is the burial of Liu Bang’s ancestral tomb to the geomantic treasure land.
Liu Bang was born in Fengyi, Pei County, Xuzhou. His grandfather, Liu Qing, moved here from Daliang, the capital of the state of Wei (now Kaifeng, Henan Province), and the village he lived in was later called “jinliuzhuang”.
I don’t know when a Wutong tree grew in front of the Liu family’s house. This tree grew into a towering tree with luxuriant branches and leaves in a few years. One day there was a strong wind, and a Golden Phoenix came and built a nest in the tree. Later, the Golden Phoenix flew away. It was strange that Liu Qing also died of illness. The family planed down the Wutong tree and made a coffin for Liu Qing.
When I was about to be buried, the sunny weather suddenly changed, with heavy rain and thunder. But as soon as the coffin came out of the house, it couldn’t be carried back, so it temporarily stopped by the Wutong tree pit. When the mourner came to lift the coffin again after the rain stopped, he found that the coffin was missing and a grave head appeared on the Wutong tree pit. People saw that there were dark ants on the head of the grave, busy transporting soil to the grave. This is the legend of Liu Bang’s ancestral tomb “Phoenix points the hole” and “ant round tomb”.
Naturally, this matter is a supplementary statement of Liu Bang after he became emperor. The incidental legend is that when Liu Bang was born, he was encountering the first emperor of Qin to visit Fengyi. The warlock saw that the land was prosperous, and reported it to the first emperor of Qin, saying that there was a “water dragon potential” here.
There are two kinds of dragons in geomancy, one is mountain dragon, and the other is water dragon. According to Guan’s geographical indication of Mongolia, a famous master of geomancy and a famous warlock during the Three Kingdoms period, China has five waterspouts in addition to three mountain dragons (see the related content of the chapter “Legend of the ‘calming the king’ event • Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang’s punishment of Feng Shui famous mountain” in this book for details)——
Hefen in the north, Jianghai in the East, Chuanluo in the West and Fujian and Zhejiang in the south. It is said that mountains are not only valuable to inherit their ancestors, but also that water has its ancestors. The river (Yellow River) flows out of Kunlun Mountain, the Fen (Fen River) flows out of Taiyuan and Jinyang mountain, the river (Yangtze River) flows out of Minshan Mountain, the Luo river flows out of Zhongling mountain, and the Zhejiang river flows out of Yushan Mountain in Shexian county.
Among them, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are the most powerful waterspouts. The water source of the Yellow River is the farthest, but the river water is turbid at all times, and fate cannot be predicted. Once it is clarified in 500 years, it is clear that the Lord should respond to it; The water of the Yangtze River is the length of four blasphemies. Its potential is vast and winding. It is the water for raising water dragons.
Peixian county has the water of huaisi, located between the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. Fengyi is named “Pei” because of its rich water source. In ancient times, local people used snakes as their totem. “Dragon” is the incarnation of snake, “Jiaolong” is a kind of water snake. After Liu Bang became emperor, people said he was “the son of the dragon”.
According to the magician, the local “water dragon” was born, and the first emperor of Qin ordered to kill all the male babies born in Fengyi recently. At the same time, they built a high platform in the local area to suppress the king’s spirit; Dig ditches and bury swords to break the “dragon vein”.
Coincidentally, Liu Bang’s parents took Liu Bang to Pei county and escaped the disaster. That’s how the saying “Liu Bang was born and raised”.
But what Qinshihuang did was wasted. Three years after his death, the world began to rebel. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang took the lead in the uprising, followed by Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. Finally, Ying Tianxia was won by Liu Bang, the “son of the dragon”.
Zhu Cun, a poet of the Southern Tang Dynasty, felt this and once made a great deal of poetry——
Yiqi southeast King bullfight,
ZuLong is a potential worry for his descendants;
Where did the earth vein of Jinling break,
I don’t realize that the real person’s surname is Liu.
