Vo Tac Thien Tomb has a secret about feng shui?

In the nearly 3,000-year history of Chinese feudal history, Wu Zetian is an extremely special woman.
In nearly 3,000 years of Chinese feudalism, Wu Zetian was an extremely special woman. Becoming the first and only Queen to be recognized by history books, what Vo Tac Thien did was really a blow to the feudal institution with the inherent ideology of respecting men and women in the land of billions of people. . However, Vo Tac Thien’s influence on China was not limited to when she was still alive.

Many people believe that, even after his death, Vo Tac Thien still had great influence on the nation’s destiny. Not far away, many people believe that even Can Lang – where Vo Tac Thien chose to be his burial place – also contains many secrets… 1. In February 705, Empress Wu became seriously ill and could no longer take care of the government. Taking that opportunity, the prime minister Truong Gian Tri led the civil and martial mandarins in the court, carried out a coup, stormed the harem, captured and killed the two brothers Truong Xuong Tong – who were greatly favored by Empress Wu – and then forced Empress Wu to cast a decree ceding the throne to Crown Prince Lee Hien. Ly Hien ascended to the throne again, known as Duong Trung Tong, Empress Wu retired as Thai Thuong Hoang and died in November of that year. On her deathbed, Empress Wu asked Lee Hsien to use the posthumous title of Empress, not Emperor, so she did not have a temple title like other Emperors. Empress Wu also requested to be buried in Can Lang with her husband, Cao Tong Ly Tri, and erected on her grave an empty stele (called Wu Tu stele) with the intention that her merits would be attributed to the next life. judgment. Up to now, people have not been able to explain why an ambitious woman like Vo Tac Thien – who dared to destroy an illustrious dynasty and established his own dynasty – came to the last minute. Together, she returned to the status of a wife, requesting to be “buried” with her husband, Cao Tong. However, the family believes that one of the reasons why Vo Tac Thien chose Can Lang as his burial place is because of the extremely favorable terrain of this mausoleum. Can Lang was built on the top of Luong Son mountain, located 6km north of Thien Can district. This place is about 160 miles from Xi’an – the capital of the Tang Dynasty, forming a position corresponding to the mountain ranges of Cuu Tong, Kim Tuc, Ta Nga, Nghiao Son… Different from the location of Chieu Lang by Ly The Dan – the king himself. famous Tang Dynasty – self-selection, it is said, the location of Qianling was chosen in an extremely professional manner. The person who chose the location to build the Can Lang was the Thai historian Ly Thuan Phong – the mandarin responsible for yin and yang and astronomy of the Tang dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, there were many talented people, and there was no shortage of talented people in or in the palace. Ly Thuan Phong is one of those talents. The historian, surnamed Li, is one of the famous ancient Chinese astronomers and numerologists. He is also the one who left behind many works that today are considered by ancient Chinese researchers and astronomers as bedside textbooks. At the same time as Ly Thuan Phong, at that time there was another equally talented person called Vien Thien Canh. Like the Ly family, the Vien family is a master of yin and yang divination. It was Vien who helped Ly The Dan choose the location to build Chieu Lang. Contemporaries believed that Vien was a “divine man”, because almost nothing Vien predicted would go wrong. In modern terms, at that time, Ly Thuan Phong and Vien Thien Canh were considered as great intellectuals, the most powerful academic figures in the Tang dynasty. Ly Tri was originally the 9th son of Ly The Dan, born by Empress Truong Ton. In 649, when Ly Thua Can was deposed, Ly Tri ascended the throne, becoming Emperor Cao Tong. Not long after ascending the throne, according to the old practice of the Tang Dynasty, Ly Tri sent Ly Thuan Phong and Vien Thien Canh on their behalf to find a good place to build a grave. According to historical records, the Vien and Ly families have gone to many places but have not found a satisfactory location. It was not until one day, after Vien Thien Canh came to Quan Trung, observing the celestial object at the hour of the Rat, did he discover that a purple gas appeared on the mountain range straight up to the North Star. Purple gas appearing in the concept is a good omen. Following this purple aura, Vien Thien Canh found the location to build the present-day Can Lang. At that time, to mark, Vien Thien Canh buried a bronze coin in the ground. Coincidentally, after that, Ly Thuan Phong also came here. However, unlike Vien Thien Canh, the Ly family chose Luong Son due to careful analysis of the topography of this mountain. After studying the topography of Luong Son mountain, Ly Thuan Phong discovered that the two peaks to the east and west of Luong Son are opposite each other, so if viewed from afar, Luong Son mountain looks like a pair of breasts of Luong Son mountain. woman. If you look at it more broadly, the entire Liangshan area looks like a sleeping noble woman. After using the pieces of stone arranged into a bagua diagram to calculate, Ly Thuan Phong also determined the location of the mausoleum right where Vien Thien Canh had chosen. After receiving information from the Li and Vien surnames, Li Tri immediately sent his uncle Truong Ton Wuji to review it again before making a decision. According to historical records, when he arrived, Truong Ton Vo Ky couldn’t help but be surprised when the head of the iron stake that Ly Thuan Phong drove into the ground to mark was right in the square inside with the coin that Vien Thien Canh had buried. 2. Because Luong Son – the place where Can Lang was built – has a terrain very similar to a woman’s breasts, so the locals here also call Luong Son mountain Nai Dau Son. This mountain looks very majestic up close, but it is very low from afar. Vien Thien Canh believes that the yin here is heavier, so if you don’t calculate it carefully, the Ly family’s dragon vein will be damaged by a woman. The reason given by Vien Thien Canh seems to be very reasonable. Mount Luong Son is located to the west of Cuu Tong Mountain, while the Long Vein of Tang Dynasty is located to the East of Cuu Tong. Therefore, Vien believes that Chieu Lang – the place where Ly The Dan is buried – is the first part of the long vein of the Tang dynasty. According to the traditional concept, the site of construction of the mausoleum for Ly Tri must be under this “dragon head”. Thus, the most ideal grave location must be in the mountains of Kim Tuc, Ta Nga, and Nghia Son… However, now there is a woman sitting on top of the Ly men’s heads. In terms of topography, both sides of Luong Son are surrounded by water, which is a place of gas gathering, truly a prime location for . Contemporaries acknowledged this. It is said that the Luong Son range has been the “residual” part of the dragon vein since the Zhou Dynasty, so ordinary people who choose this land as a burial place can ensure three generations of wealth and prosperity. However, for the Tang dynasty, three generations were too short. Moreover, Luong Son’s great position did not respond to Chieu Lang’s, which was chosen by Ly The Dan. This unresponsiveness causes the king to be interrupted, lest he will be hindered after only three generations. Truong Ton Vo Ky and Ly Thuan Phong both said that this is a good land, once every thousand years, while Vien Thien Canh firmly asserted that this place was not suitable. Facing two completely opposite opinions, Ly Tri at that time did not know how to decide. At that time, Vo Tac Thien was Chieu Nghi, very happy to hear this. Vien Thien Canh once predicted that the Tang dynasty would be invaded by a woman surnamed Wu. Ly The Dan also for this reason killed many people surnamed Vo. Moreover, in the past, when the surname Vien was in the face of Vo Tac Thien, he said: “If it is not a woman, it will definitely be the ruler of the world”. So, isn’t the terrain of Luong Son in line with what Vien Thien Canh predicted? Thinking so, Vo Tac Thien tried to advise Ly Tri not to hesitate, listening to his words, Truong Ton Vo Ky. Ly Tri was inherently a weak person, so he was soon persuaded by Vo Tac Thien, the choice of the location to build the Can Lang was decided. It is said that, after knowing the story, Vien Thien Canh sighed and lamented: “The replacement of the Tang Dynasty is none other than Vo Chieu Nghi”. Vien’s words later certainly came to fruition. Although he did not listen to Vien Thien Canh’s words, the opinions of a “great master” like Vien also made Truong Ton Vo Ky and Ly Tri feel worried. Therefore, after the tomb was built, Ly Tri wanted to find a name very carefully to balance the shortcomings in the terrain of the tomb. At that time, a great minister proposed to name the mausoleum “Thua Lang”, with the intention of inheriting Chieu Lang’s dragon vein. However, Truong Ton Vo Ky based on the position of Luong Son is located in the Northwest, according to Dich, it belongs to the Can palace, so the proposal is named Can Lang. Didn’t Vien Thien Canh say that Luong Son’s yin was too heavy? Thus, naming it Can Lang is more reasonable because Qian is the yang, above, and below, yin, both combined are “Yin and yang are compatible with Qiankun”. Ly Tri listened to Truong Ton Vo Ky explain very well, so he decided to name the mausoleum Can Lang. However, giving the tomb a “positive” name did not help Ly Tri and the Tang dynasty to get rid of the “curse”. As expected, after Ly Tri died, Vo Tac Thien began to gradually acquire power in the court. In September 690, Wu Zetian officially ascended the throne, becoming the only Queen in the Chinese feudal system. It is believed that it was the terrain of Can Lang that helped Vo Tac Thien make such an illustrious career and that is why at the end of his life, Vo Tac Thien decided to be buried in Can Lang, not because he wanted to. buried with Cao Tong Ly Tri Street.
