The following is a detailed introduction to the main content of the “Burial Scripture”:

1、 Book Overview
Title: “Burial Scripture” (also known as “Burial Book”)
Author: Guo Pu (a famous literary figure, exegesist, and feng shui scholar during the Jin Dynasty)
Category: Feng Shui Culture
2、 Main content
The full text of the “Burial Scripture” is less than 20000 words, but it systematically elaborates on the five core theories of feng shui, including:

The theory of ‘anger’:
Emphasis should be placed on the use of “vitality” in burial sites, which refers to the energy generated by the movement and accumulation of yin and yang energy in the ground that is beneficial for the growth of living organisms.
Believe that soil is the carrier of air, where there is air, there is water, and all things are born from air. The buried person should start from the original place, ride on it to the end, and choose the original terrain, mountain terrain, and bones as the burial site.
The theory of ‘obtaining water’:
Water plays an important role in Feng Shui, regarded as the source and gathering place of vitality.
The “Burial Scripture” elaborates in detail on the influence of factors such as the shape, flow direction, and depth of water on the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of burial sites.
The theory of “situation”:
Emphasize that the burial site should be complete, dignified, and beautiful, with the function of storing wind and gathering energy.
Described the auspicious and inauspicious characteristics of various mountain ranges and terrains, such as the undulations, trends, and shapes of dragon veins, as well as the impact of different terrains on burial sites.
The theory of “divine sand” (note: “divine sand” here does not specifically refer to a certain substance, but is a term in feng shui that complements “situation”):
Shensha “refers to some special terrain or landforms around the burial site, such as hills, water currents, etc., which can form auspicious gathering places for vitality.
The “Burial Scripture” elaborates in detail on the types, forms, auspicious and inauspicious characteristics of “divine sand”, as well as how to use “divine sand” to improve the feng shui of burial sites.
The theory of ‘earth qi’:
Earthly energy is the energy within the earth, the source of vitality. The burial site should be chosen in a vibrant place to facilitate the prosperity and development of future generations.
The “Burial Scripture” explains the mechanism of the generation, operation, and accumulation of earth qi through the movement laws of yin and yang, as well as how to use earth qi to improve the feng shui of burial sites.

3、 Core idea
The core idea of the “Burial Scripture” is to emphasize that the burial site should take advantage of vitality, obtain water, have a complete situation, be protected by divine sand, and have a strong earth atmosphere. These elements are interrelated and interact with each other, together forming the auspicious and inauspicious pattern of the burial site. By observing and analyzing these elements, one can predict and judge the fate of burial sites and the direction of human destiny.

4、 Practical significance
The “Burial Scripture” not only has theoretical value, but also has profound practical significance. It provides a methodology for observing and analyzing burial sites, helping people understand the impact of the natural environment on human life and destiny. Meanwhile, the relationship between the geographical environment and human destiny revealed by it can provide useful references and guidance for urban planning, architectural design, cemetery site selection, and other fields.

5、 Limitations and Modern Applications
Although the “Burial Scripture” holds an important position in the field of feng shui, its theoretical system also has certain limitations. Some viewpoints and theories lack scientific basis and empirical support, so they need to be treated with caution in practical applications. In modern society, the application of traditional feng shui such as the “Burial Scripture” needs to be improved and perfected by combining modern scientific knowledge and technological means to better meet the needs of modern society. At the same time, we also need to maintain a rational and objective attitude, not blindly blindly believing in Feng Shui, but understanding and inheriting it as a culture and tradition.

As a classic feng shui work, the “Burial Scripture” has profound theoretical and practical significance. However, when applying its theory, we should also rationally view its limitations and combine modern scientific knowledge and technological means to improve and perfect it.
