Pig cage immersion as a punishment in the old days was to put the prisoner in the pig pen, tie a rope at the opening, hang it, and put it into a river to drown, and the minor offender let his head out of the water and soak it for a certain time, and the felony could make him drown to death without a roof, usually to the person who cheated on the crime.

The original intention of the pig cage is: to facilitate the transportation of pigs, it is made of bamboo strips, cylindrical, net-like, the net mouth is quite large, and one end is open. It is also a kind of cruel lynching in ancient times, if a woman was unfaithful to her fiancé or husband before or after marriage (engagement) or after marriage, and had an affair with another man, her husband could take her wife to soak in a pig pen, that is, put a person in a cage made of bamboo and throw it into the water and drown it alive.

In the old society, if a woman was found to have an improper relationship with another man, or if a woman was flirting with other men outside behind her husband's back, she could report it to the village or other grassroots elders, or to a very prestigious elder, and once it was confirmed, the man would be beaten to death with a stick, and the woman would be thrown into a pig coop and thrown into the river to drown.

Men and women have an improper relationship, and men also have a pig cage, which is also shown in many film and television dramas.

"There is a widow named Yang Cuihua in our village, who was found to be having an affair with a man from the next village, and later the village chief soaked Yang Cuihua in a pig cage. Inside the food stall, Wang Mang drank wine and said.

Xue Ergou: "What about later?"

Wang Mang drank beer and ate peanuts: "It's strange to say this, the place where Yang Cuihua soaked the pig cage is the ancestral grave of our village upstream." ”

Xue Ergou: "Are you saying that something strange happened to the ancestral grave of our village because of the widow's infidelity?"

Wang Mang: "I don't know about this, but I heard that the old people in our village said that this kind of thing has not happened in our village for decades." ”

Xue Ergou: "What age is this, and the feudal society is still flourishing?"

Wang Mang: "This is also a helpless thing, you don't know that the emperor is far away, and some rural areas are still practicing feudal society." ”

"Then tell me what's going on with the ancestral grave in our village?" Xue Ergou asked as he drank.

Wang Mang: "This dish is good today, hehe! I haven't personally gone to see the ancestral grave in our village, but I heard from the people in the village that since the death of Yang Cuihua, all the graves in the ancestral grave of our village have been emitting green smoke every morning. ”

Xue Ergou was shocked after hearing this: "Are you sure?"

Wang Mang: "I haven't returned to the village, I know if the ancestral graves in our village are really collectively smoking." Don't they all say that it's a good thing that the ancestral tomb is smoking? ”

Xue Ergou: "You dead fat man, as far as you know, do you know that it may be a good thing for a grave to smoke green, and it is a disaster to smoke collectively." ”

Wang Mang was taken aback: "Lao Xue, it's really fake, don't you lie to me?"

Xue Ergou was a little angry: "What good is it for me to lie to you." ”

Wang Mang: "What should I do?"

Xue Ergou: "I haven't been to the field, and I don't know what to do, so let's go back to the village together the day after tomorrow, and I'm going to go to the field to see how to deal with it." ”

"Alright, let's get on with it. Wang Mang, who was a little drunk, said.

Wang Mang picked up the wine glass, touched it with Xue Ergou and drank it all.

Xue Ergou actually didn't explain to Wang Mang the seriousness of the collective green smoke from the cemetery, and he wanted to wait until the field observation before drawing conclusions.

Cemetery feng shui is a very solemn science, the tomb has good and evil, the cemetery also has a tomb physiognomy, it is also an art of peaceful coexistence, a significant feature is to emphasize the harmony between man and the natural environment.

The taboo songs include "Ten No Burials in the Plains", "Ten No Burials in the Mountains", "Ten No Directions in the Tombs", "Ten Taboos in the Tombs", "Ten Views on Moving the Tombs", and "Eight Dragons Standing and Decision".

Guo Pu, a great feng shui master of the Jin Dynasty, said in the "Book of Burial": "Qi is angry and angry", "Qi is dispersed by the wind, and the boundary water is stopped. The method of feng shui is to obtain water first, and Tibetan wind is secondary". The theory of multiplying the vitality is the central theme of Feng Shui. Anger refers to the flow of the soil, which has a kind of energy that blesses and prospers people. Anger can reconcile yin and yang, and give birth to all things. If the dwelling is obtained, the living will be safe and blessed, and the tomb will be followed by the descendants of the tomb owner and prosperous. Feng Shui is ultimately about teaching people to recognize and use life for the benefit of humanity. The "Book of Burial" says: "The qi of yin and yang of the husband is the wind, rises to the clouds, fights to thunder, falls to the rain, and walks in the flat ground and is angry." Anger is a part of the cycle of yin and yang, and the energy of yin and yang is constantly changing, constantly transforming into the appearance of wind, clouds, thunder, rain and vitality. "The vitality of the five elements travels in the middle of the earth and gives birth to all things. "When the life comes out of the ground and rises into the air, it becomes the wind, and the wind is blown away and cannot be used. Only the mountains that surround the auspicious land can shelter the wind, and only the gentle flowing water and lakes can gather vitality. Tomb feng shui and residential feng shui are mostly the same principle, which is why auspicious land is usually a flat land and terrace surrounded by mountains, surrounded by flowing water, and the intersection of main tributaries, and people choose to build cities, villages, houses or ancestral tombs on them.

Ancient tombs in China are a complex cultural phenomenon, and the choice of tomb site depends on feng shui. Since ancient times, people have attached great importance to the choice of cemeteries, and the factors considered by the ancients in choosing cemeteries are: first, near the capital, its feng shui is naturally good; second, the hometown, mining or ancestral hometown, in line with the traditional concept of returning to the roots; third, the place of death, such as the station, the battlefield, etc., which is often based on the situation, such as traffic constraints, etc.; and the fourth is other places, such as the place of longing for life, etc. However, it is generally necessary to choose a place where "there is a photo in front and a back", that is, there is a water flow in front of it, and there is a mountain peak in the back, and the mountains and mountains in the territory are stacked and green, that is, the cemetery should be pillow on the mountain and face the water. Of course, there are many other particulars. For example, first of all, the direction of the water and the water of the hole should be clarified, and the approximate direction of the land god position should be determined according to the direction of the water and the water of the hole, and then the accurate direction of the land god position should be determined according to the direction of the hole and the five elements of the gold divide, and the accurate direction of the land god position should be determined with reference to the surrounding environment of the hole. Such a land god position is not only in line with the situation of Yin House Feng Shui, but also in line with its rational qi. Make its tomb more in line with Feng Shui requirements, so that it can better shade future generations.

When building a tomb, the first thing to start with is choosing a cemetery. Because the grave is the cathode, if you choose a place where the sun does not shine, your family fortune will not be able to rise. The following is an explanation of the evil or auspicious aspects when choosing a place.

It is necessary to choose a place where the sun can shine from morning to afternoon to auspicious signs.

It is necessary to choose a place that is more than two pings wide - between ten pings, and will form a right angle, which is auspicious.

Boundaries are to be built in the cemetery. With a tomb without boundaries, it is easy for the Lord to get entangled with others.

Ideally, a wall should be built, but the entrance must be in the center. Without an entrance to the tomb, the main family movement cannot be developed.

The entrance to the cemetery is auspicious towards south, southeast and south-southeast.

There are high-voltage lines passing through the cemetery, and the main family fortune declines.

The red earth, where the grass grows all day long because there are large trees in the vicinity to shade the sky, is auspicious.

When the soil of the cemetery belongs to the ancient or old tomb soil, new soil must be transported from Jifang to replace it.

If the tomb is built on the ridge of the hill or on the top of the hill, the lord will bring about the evil appearance of toil because of the preservation of property and the problem of heirs.

The graveyard is high, and the main family fortune cannot progress. If you have to fill in the height due to the surrounding relationships, you can only fill in the height by one foot.

In a cemetery walled by high walls, the Lord will be isolated from society.

Nearby there were large trees covered with thick shade, and tombs covered with stone tablets like hats, and patients suffering from chest or abdominal problems appeared in the Lord's house. Because the trees in the cemetery are evil, if they are not cut down, the larger the trees, the less property they have.

If the weeds near the tomb spread to the front of the cemetery, they will become ferocious, and the weak or sick will appear in the owner's home. The cemetery is cleaned at least once a year.

There is water flowing down from the surrounding high places in the cemetery, which is a bad look. The sick and infirm are often present in the Lord's house. Therefore, when choosing a cemetery, this kind of terrain should be avoided.

In the whole cemetery, when laying slates and cement stones, the lord and his family cannot make ends meet, which is a murderous appearance of dispersing wealth.
