He was a famous general in the Jin Dynasty
of China. There is a story about him in the history books.
The three kingdoms in China's Three
Kingdoms period are the Kingdom of Cao Wei, the Kingdom of Soochow and the
Kingdom of Shu Han.
In 263 AD, the army of the Kingdom of Cao
Wei captured the capital of the Kingdom of Shuhan, and the Kingdom of Shuhan
was destroyed.
In 266 AD, a minister from the Kingdom of
Cao Wei seized power in the Kingdom of Cao Wei. This minister announced the
establishment of the Kingdom of Jin in 266 AD. In that year, the Kingdom of Cao
Wei fell.
Yang Hu lived in such a turbulent time with
frequent wars.
His father died when he was very young.
When he came of age, one day a man took the
initiative to visit him at his home.
The stranger said to him
I am a Feng Shui master who travels around.
When I passed this place today, I saw a grave with very good Feng Shui. The
descendants of the person buried in this tomb will have the opportunity to
build their own kingdom.
After asking the people who live near this
tomb, they told me that your father is buried in this tomb.
So I have come to congratulate you and to
remind you to take good care of this tomb.
He laughed and replied to the Feng Shui
master.
Thank you for your kind reminder.
One day, a few years later, the feng shui
master came to his house again.
The Feng Shui master said to him.
I have been travelling for several years,
and I happened to come back to this town today. I remembered that the feng shui
of your father's grave was very good, so I went to your father's grave to have
a look.
But today I discovered that the hill behind
your father's grave is being reclaimed.
The Feng Shui of your father's grave has
been destroyed, and it is no longer possible for you to build your own kingdom.
According to the current feng shui of this
tomb that I have observed, you will become a prime minister-level official in a
kingdom in the future.
He laughed and said to the Feng Shui
master.
It's okay not to have the chance to build a
kingdom, and it's okay to be a prime minister.
I don't think it's so important to be a
king who builds a kingdom and has a lot of power.
I think the most important thing is to be a
person of integrity and honesty, a person who contributes to society and a
person who can be remembered by others after his death.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Have you read any books on Feng Shui? Do
you believe that Feng Shui can affect a person's destiny?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.

他是中國晉王朝一個著名的將軍。歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
中國的三國時代的三個王國，分別是曹魏王國與東吳王國與蜀漢王國。
西元263年，曹魏王國的軍隊攻下蜀漢王國的首都，蜀漢王國滅亡。
西元266年，曹魏王國的一個大臣奪取了曹魏王國的政權，這個大臣在西元266年宣布建立晉王國，這一年曹魏王國滅亡。
羊祜生活在這樣一個局勢動盪而且戰爭頻繁的年代。
他的父親在他年紀很小的時候就死了。
他成年後，有一天，有一個人主動到他的家中拜訪他。
這個陌生人對他說。
我是一個到處旅行的風水師，我今天經過這個地方時，我看到有一座墳墓的風水非常的好，埋葬在這座墳墓裡的人的後代會有機會建立一個屬於自己的王國。
我詢問住在那座墳墓附近的居民後，他們告訴我那座墳墓裡面埋葬著你的父親。
因此我來恭喜你，我也要提醒你，你要好好地照顧這座墳墓。
他大笑著回答這個風水師。
謝謝你好意的提醒。
幾年後的一天，這個風水師又來到他家。
這個風水師對他說。
我旅行了好幾年，今天剛好又再度回到這座城市，我記得你的父親的墳墓的風水非常的好，所以我就到你父親的墳墓那邊看了一下。
但是我今天發現，你的父親的墳墓後方的山上有人在進行開墾。
你的父親的墳墓的風水已經被破壞了，你已經不可能建立一個屬於自己的王國。
根據我觀察的這座墳墓現在的風水，你以後會成為一個王國中的宰相級別的官員。
他大笑的對這個風水師說。
沒有機會建立一個王國沒有關係，成為一個宰相也很好。
我不認為成為一個建立王國的國王並且擁有很大的權力有那麼重要。
我認為真正重要的事情是做一個正直與清廉的人，一個對社會有貢獻的人，一個可以在死後被別人所懷念的人。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你看過任何有關風水的書嗎?你相信風水會影響一個人的命運嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
