The Feng Shui Legend of Nie, One of the Ten Great Marshals of China

Nie was one of the ten founding marshals. He is a famous revolutionary, politician and military strategist of the People's Republic of China. One of the founders and leaders of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, one of the ten marshals of the People's Republic of China, made great contributions to the liberation of our people and the future modernization of national defense and military. Mr. Shui Mo’s Feng Shui stories contain many legendary stories of great people that you have never heard of. Let’s take a look at them below.

On December 29, 1899, Nie was born in Shiyuan near Wutanchang, Jiangjin, Sichuan. His father Nie Shi saw a sentence in a book: "A hundred blessings come together and are perfect", and thought it was auspicious. Since his son’s generation name was “Rong”, he was named “Rong Zhen” with the courtesy name “Fu Pian”. Folk legends also confirm this statement of Shuangquan. The place where the Nie family’s ancestral tomb is located is called Gaoshantou. Here, the Yangtze River loops in an "N" shape, and there are hundreds of black stones on the mountain, standing in front of the Nie family's ancestral tomb, like an extremely huge seal of the supreme commander.
As early as the Han Dynasty, "Mr. Qingwu's Burial Classic" spoke highly of this Feng Shui pattern: "The mountain in front has round peaks and is upright, and there is a big river with many tides, which means it is extremely valuable." The owner of this seal is destined to go down in history as "extremely valuable." In reality, Nie is indeed the commander-in-chief of the region.

This tomb is located in Sansheng Township, Jiangjin County, Chongqing (originally under the jurisdiction of Sichuan); the ancestors of this tomb ran all the way from Yinshan, Longhua, and broke when they reached Jialing River. Steal away. The stone vein of Shilong crosses the Yangtze River; it originates from the ancestor of Jinyun Mountain {Jinyun Mountain starts with nine peaks opening a tent, and inside the tent there is a land named Nine Lions Facing the Sun} and later Wenqu arises. Tan Lang is a big tent of clouds and water; the dragon is on the star peaks and the mountains are stacked up. When it reaches Wujiang Town, "Nie Marshal's Ancestral Home", it suddenly falls, peels off, and transforms into Ju Men, Wu Qu, Wen Qu, gold and water willow branches. The dragon on Pinggang opens the tent and passes through the big frame and moves forward.
At Longmen Temple, there stands the Shaozu of Longmen Mountain. A large whip emerges from the Shaozu Mountain and rides to the Three Saints; a big giant Saturn, a star peak rises from the dragon, retrogrades and flashes, and the show is taken off to ward off evil spirits and open the tent. Flags and drums on the left and right escort it through the gorge, and the Wu Qu Jinxing Parent Mountain is born; the dragon returns to the ancestor and faces the cloud and water case of the Shaozu Mountain of Longmen; the left and right green dragons and white tigers, flags and drums are heavily entangled and reflected, as many as six or seven layers; the Yangtze River is entangled outside; the water mouth is a golden lion and a white elephant in a three-dimensional water mouth; the Wu Qu star of the Parent Mountain is opened up layer by layer, and Wenqu is transformed into Tanlang Wood Rujie Point; because of the fetal origin, the lower felt is too short (about one and a half feet) and there is a deep ditch below, so it is named: hanging lamp on the wall.
On the tombstone of Marshal Nie's ancestral tomb with "lamps hanging on the wall", one can vaguely see the words "the 30th year of Kangxi" - that is, 1691, which has a history of 400 years. Since the words "Kangxi 30th year" are in the upper left corner of the tombstone (that is, the upper right corner when looking directly opposite), according to the writing format of the tombstone, the time of birth is generally engraved in the first row in the upper left corner of the tombstone. Therefore, the owner of this tomb should have been born in 1691. According to the average life expectancy of people at that time, which was around 60 years, this tomb should have a history of about 340 years. It is said that they are the second or third generation of the Nie family who came from Huguang to Sichuan. According to investigation, the Nie family has indeed been prosperous since they obtained this Feng Shui treasure land.
This tomb is the tomb of the third generation ancestor of the Nie family who came to Sichuan during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. According to a local old man, many descendants of this tomb produced officials before liberation. Therefore, the tomb was named "Wall-Hanging Lamp". After the descendants became rich, they listened to the advice of the Feng Shui master and specially repaired the lamp pole, wick, oil pool for it, and hired someone to guard it.
