This historical fact that there were no tombs in ancient times was recognised by Jiang Da Hong, the Ming dynasty imperial Feng Shui expert:

• Those dead all buried are returning back to the fertile land, returning back to its origin is the meaning that is in repetitive. Tian Yuan Wu Ge 1.14.

The same historical fact that there were no tombs in ancient times was recognised earlier by Yang Yun Sung, the Tang dynasty imperial Feng Shui expert:

• Immediately follow the joss sticks and candles descending to the people. Ancient people having calling home the soul and buried it, calling home the soul nobody can be the example, calling home the soul and after the burial, the praying ceremony is strict, in within the 400 years, the Han family is prosperous. Not restricted on the mortal remains (skeleton and bone) to bury own offsprings (relatives), only want the praying ceremony joss sticks and candles bright. Also have four to five hundred years ancestors, the coffin and its outer layer, mortal remains (skeleton and bone) turning into earth. The sons and grandchildren thousand and hundred still in fame, people pointing at these mountains and asking who are the owners? Yi Lung Jing Questions 1.11 to 1.15

Tang dynasty Feng Shui master Yang Yun Sung further noted that what was critical important was the ancestor worship ritual of "only want the praying ceremony joss sticks and candles bright". The dead corpse was not important, as it and its coffin would rot away into dust.

Jiang Da Hong even made a critical remark that the dead has no more influence over Fate:

• Not knowing the dead already without Fate, the reversed qi entering into the earth as the repeated [cyclic] Fate. Tian Yuan Wu Ge 5.16

Once you recognised that the ancient Chinese never had tombs you may understand an enigma which baffles the Chinese authorities in connection with the tomb of Confucius in Qufu, Jiangsu province, China. This enigma was presented in a previous web page (www.guiculture.com/fs09tomb1.htm) and reproduced here:

• An older well known tomb would be that of Confucius at Qufu, Jiangsu province. Confucius died in 600 BC. It was founding Han emperor Kao Tsu, circa 250 BC, who made the first imperial visit to the tomb of Confucius. After that, emperors or their representatives would visit Confucius' tomb and showered honours and gifts on the Kung family. Hence, generation aftrer generation of members of the Kung family have enjoyed blessings for over 2,000 years. The Feng Shui of Confucius' tomb must be very potent.

  King He Lu, circa 500 BC tried to destroy the Feng Shui of Confucius' tomb by diverting a river to pass through the grounds. But that move actually improves the Feng Shui of the burial grounds of Confucius!

  Confucius' tomb would be a very good example of successful tomb Feng Shui! Those who ensure that their ancestors were properly buried would get good Feng Shui. Only, one unexpected event destroys that myth.

  Red Guards vandalised the cemetery. When they opened up Confucius' tomb they were stumped by a great mystery. Confucius' tomb is empty!

  If there was never a corpse in Confucius' tomb, how did the Kung family obtain generations of blessings from Feng Shui of Yin premises?

The reason for the empty tomb of Confucius was connected to burial and ancestor worship customs of the early Zhou dynasty.

The ancient classics shows that the Zhou dynasty custom was a mourning period of three years for a dead person:

• The Book of Rites says: Thus, it is that in the mourning of three years the highest forms that vary and adorn the ways of men are displayed. Yes, this is what is called the richest exhibition (of human feelings). [Book 35. 13 Legge]

  'This shows Yu's want of virtue (*Bu Ren). It is not till a child is three years old that it is allowed to leave the arms of its parents. And the three years' mourning is universally observed throughout the empire. Did Yu enjoy the three years' love of his parents?' [Analects 17. 21 Legge]

This customary mourning period of three years was seen when Confucius was mourned by his students:

• Confucius' students were greatly saddened by his death and they now gathered together for his funeral. At the time, there were no customs for how students should dress in traditional mourning garments at their teacher's funeral. When Yan Hui and Zhong You passed away, even though Confucius did not wear mourning robes, he remained in mourning for his students in the way that a parent would remain in mourning for a child's death. Another of Confucius' most important students, Duan-mu Ci proposed that all the students remain in mourning for Confucius for three years, as was customary at that time for a parent's death. But to avoid conflict with the traditional rites, they did not adopt the mourning garment since they were not mourning for their blood parents, but they did remain in mourning for three years. By the end of the twenty-fifth month, when the mourning period ended, they wept and bid each other farewell. Duan-mu Ci was left alone and stayed for another three years before leaving the site of his master's grave. Su-Fen Lin and Timothy Baker Jr.. 2011. Passing Down the Teachings of Confucius. www.ct.taipei.gov.tw › Home › Sages › The Life of Confucius

What was probably not realised was that once the three years mourning period was over, the grave and its corpse were just abandoned! No one bothered about the grave and the corpse anymore! Grass and weeds would just grew over them. Should one returned to the site some years later one would find it very difficult to trace back the original site of the burial.

Modern students of Feng Shui of Yin premises should note that, back in Confucius' time, while there was ancestor worship going back to the Shang dynasty, there were no tombs for there to be any Feng Shui of tombs!

• When Liu Pang became the founding Han emperor Kao Tsu, the emperor visited Qufu to pay homage to Confucius. His visit started the long historical tradition of the imperial families making visit to Qufu to pay homage to Confucius.

  To cater for this homage, the tomb of Confucius was erected. At that time, Confucius was already dead some 300 years and no one knew where Confucius was buried. Confucius' bones if any remaining could never be recovered. So it was just an empty tomb which served as a memorial to Confucius. Down the centuries, the emperors and their representatives visited this memorial-tomb.
