Feng Shui Story: The Feng Shui Treasure Site of Zeng Guofan’s Ancestral Tomb

Introduction: Do you know who Zeng Guofan is? Zeng Guofan's rise had a profound impact on the Qing Dynasty's politics, military, culture, and economy. Well, next, let’s take a look at the Feng Shui of the celebrity Zeng Guofan’s ancestral tomb! Let’s take a look at this Feng Shui story that is popular among the people.

According to the Zeng family genealogy, Zeng Jingxi was buried in Taixichong, Shenchong, Heye Town after his death. At that time, his only great-grandson Zeng Guofan was only 5 years old. It is precisely because of this relationship that Zeng Guofan's name was rightfully engraved on Zeng Jingxi's tombstone, and it can still be vaguely recognized today. Standing at Zeng Jingxi's tomb and looking down in front, there is a sense of the grandeur of an ancient imperial tomb.

Zeng Jingxi's grave looks like a chicken, and his grave is on the chicken's head. Behind the grave is a long and narrow mountain area, like a chicken's neck. Behind the long and narrow mountain, there is another oblong hill, like a chicken's body; on both sides of the oblong hill, there are two fan-shaped mountains, just like chicken wings. In front of Jitou is a small river called "Litouzui".

There was a fertile field by the river. In the spring of the second year after Zeng Jingxi's burial, it rained heavily for three consecutive days. A flash flood broke out in Heye Town, and all the seedlings in the fertile field in front of Jinjitou were washed away, leaving only a vast expanse of white sand, just like white rice. The Feng Shui master at that time told the Zeng family that this was the manifestation of Zeng Jingxi's "Golden Rooster Pecking White Rice" tomb, and that the Zeng family would become rich and powerful, but they must protect this precious land.

So the Zeng family bought the sandbar and stopped farming it. Zeng Jingxi's tomb of "Golden Rooster Pecking at White Rice" has winding mountains behind it, low mountains and fertile fields in front of it, and mountains on both sides. The middle part is spacious and surrounded by winding streams, which meets the characteristics of the ideal feng shui treasure land in ancient times, namely, the four spiritual places of "burial pits", namely "Black Tortoise hangs its head, Vermillion Bird dances in the sky, Azure Dragon winds its way, and White Tiger lies docilely." ("Book of Burial").

Because Zeng Jingxi's "Golden Rooster Pecking at White Rice" tomb was spiritual, his descendants had prosperous literary and official careers. Zeng Jingxi's grandson, Zeng Linshu, the 69th generation of the Zeng family and Zeng Guofan's father, took the 17th "small test" at the age of 43 and finally became the first scholar in the "Great Zeng Family" in hundreds of years. From then on, within 50 years, two Jinshi (Jinshi) were born, Zeng Guofan and Zeng Guangjun, and there were more than 20 Juren (Juren), Yougong (Yougong) and Xiucai (Xiucai).
