FENG SHUI OF DR. SUN YAT SEN MAUSOLEUM, NANJING CHINA.

INTERNATIONAL FENG SHUI MASTER THAM AT THE ENTRANCE OF SUN YAT SEN MAUSOLEUM, NANJING.

Sun Yat Sen was a Chinese doctor, revolutionary and political leader. As the foremost pioneer of Nationalist China, Sun Yat Sen is frequently referred to as the Founding Father of Republican China.
The Sun Yat Sen Mausoleum is located at the second peak of Mount Zijin (also known as purple mountain) in Nanjing, China. The Mausoleum has traditional imperial tombs and modern architecture. Lying at the mountainside, the vault is more than 700 hundred meters away from the Archway (Pai Fang in Mandarin), which is the entrance of the mausoleum. There is a three-tier stone stand on which a huge bronze ding, an ancient Chinese vessel symbolizing power, perches.
There is a sacrificial hall in the mausoleum. In front of the sacrificial hall there stands a pair of ancient Chinese ornamental columns, which are estimated to be 12 meters high. The sacrificial hall is actually a palace of 30 meters in length, 25 meters in width and 29 meters in height. In the center of the hall a 4.6-meter-high statue of Dr. Sun sits. The statue was sculptured out of Italian white marble. The hall’s ceiling features the flag of the Kuomintang. Biographical information on Dr. Sun is available to visitors in the hall. North of the hall lies the bell-shaped vault, wherein the sarcophagus (the coffin and body) of Sun Yat Sen.

DOES SUN YAT SEN’S MAUSOLEUM HAS GOOD FENG SHUI DESPITE HAVING FANTASTIC SCENERIES?
The mausoleum is surrounded by high and beautiful mountains. There were trees specially planted along the pathway from the Archway (Pai Fang) towards the Mausoleum. Behind the Mausoleum stood a huge mountain where most of the people think to be a Kau Shan (supportive mountain). Most people will think that the Feng Shui of this Mausoleum is very good because of these factors.
International Feng Shui Master Tham said, ‘Generally, when there is good Feng Shui, there will be good scenery. However, this doesn’t mean that if there is good scenery, the Feng Shui of the particular place will be good.’ Frequent misconceptions about this are the reason why a lot of people don’t realize why bad omens keep happening even though the scenery looks beautiful and nice. Sun Yat Sen’s Mausoleum has fantastic scenery.
Sun Yat Sen, a brilliant and intelligent man finds himself a Feng Shui master to locate the best Feng Shui location for his own Mausoleum. The Feng Shui master chose this location at Nanjing which is also the location where two of China’s first Emperors were buried – also in Nanjing.
Master Tham said, ‘This great political leader (Sun Yat Sen) had saved and changed China but unfortunately, the Feng Shui of his own burial place (The Mausoleum) was done wrongly.’ Master Tham explained that this is the reason why his descendants were not so outstanding.
Although there are a lot of Kau Shan (supportive Mountains), it does not mean the Feng Shui of the mausoleum is good. The coffin was placed at the wrong sector with a wrong direction. Master Tham went to Nanjing to meet with one of his clients and grab the opportunity to investigate the Feng Shui of Sun Yat Sen’s Mausoleum. Master Tham did a through investigation of the Mausoleum. He climbed the flight of stairs until he reached the peak of the mausoleum and he saw layers of mountains. Finally, he concluded that mausoleum had a bad Feng Shui after spending hours investigating the Feng Shui there. Master Tham reminded the readers that any type of burial places at the top of a mountain is not necessary good. In Feng Shui, there are no fixed laws and a lot Feng Shui aspects had to be taken into consideration before determining whether the Feng Shui of a particular place’s Feng Shui is good or bad. This is because the surroundings are different and the geographical layout, building and birth dates are different for each individual. Feng Shui also needed to be tailored according to each different individuals.

KAU SHAN (SUPPORTIVE MOUTAINS) THAT ARE PRESENT UNABLE TO SUPPORT THE MAUSOLEUM’S FENG SHUI
Mountains formed million of years ago behind the Mausoleum were formally the Kau Shan (supportive mountains) of the mausoleum that will entraps good Chi flow for the Mausoleum. Unfortunately, there was a river formed behind the Mausoleum where the water cuts off the good Feng Shui of the Kau Shan. More over, the river acts like a transport, taking away the good and lively Chi that was entrapped at the back of the mountain. As a consequence, the mausoleum will not be able to receive good Chi flow. This causes the Kuomintang to lose its authority and Dr. Sun Yat Sen’s descendants are not outstanding.

BAD LOCATION OF THE MAUSOLEUM
The Mausoleum was built at the peak of the mountain where it is over exposed directly to rain (water), wind (air), and heat (sun) in all directions. If there are bad Feng Shui features and there is nothing much to protect the Mausoleum and the tomb, what is going to be beneficial to the descendants and the future generations? Based on its surrounding landscaping, Master Tham also pointed out that if the mausoleum was built at the middle part of the mountain, the Feng Shui of the mausoleum will be much better. The future generation of Sun Yet Sun’s descendants will become more outstanding and will have the chance to continue the glory of their ancestors.

THE TOMB OF SUN YAT SEN

Sun Yat Sen’s coffin was placed above an octagonal star painted on the ground. It does look grand and nice but it is a Feng Shui taboo. In the Mausoleum, the coffin is a Yin element where it must not be placed on top of a star which produces light and shines is considered to be a Yang element in nature. This is another reason why the coffin was placed on a wrong foundation. The Feng Shui was done wrongly. They thought that putting the Yin element on top of a Yang element will be able to harmonize the interior Feng Shui of the tomb but that particular action had jeopardized the Yin element without bringing in the Yang element to be compromised. Therefore, the interior Feng Shui remains unbalanced. More over, the Kuomintang Flag that was located at the celing has a sun that literally shines towards the coffin. This makes the situation worst. The Yin energy was so exposed that it diminished. This is one of the many examples of bad Feng Shui placement. If a Master who has no experience in doing Yin Feng Shui, they should not simply do this kind of Feng Shui for others as such actions can take away someone’s life if the Feng Shui was done wrongly.

WEALTH CHI FLOWING OUT OF THE MOUNTAIN EXTREMELY FAST
The Mausoleum is situated too high. When the water flows down from the mountain, it flows too fast without being gathered together at one spot. Literally, it is like wealth flowing away from the mountain. This is another reason why the descendants of Sun Yat Sen do not prosper well.

MAIN ENTRANCE WAS SITUATED WRONGLY
The main entrance of the mausoleum which is an Archway (Pai Fang in Mandarin) has a bad Feng Shui. This is another factor why the descendants of Sun Yat Sen are not outstanding. The main entrance plays a vital role for the effectiveness of Feng Shui. If you have to change the Feng Shui of the main entrance, other aspects have to be taken into consideration as well. Master Tham said, ‘It was a waste that Sun Yat Sen who contributed so many to the country of China yet, he could not find a genuine, good and true Feng Shui Master because :-
1) In ancient China, the emperors were scared that someone would take away their throne by using the power of Feng Shui so they ordered fake Feng Shui books to be written down and circulated everywhere around China.
2) During the Qing dynasty and when the Japanese Occupation invaded China, many Feng Shui masters had left China and retired but are unable to get any reliable, trusted and capable students. Many genuine Feng Shui masters had not spread out their knowledge and bring along their valuable knowledge into the coffin when they died due to old age.

A After the studies of Dr. Sun Yat Sun’s burial place with improper feng shui theories you will be surprised that the intention of having good feng shui have turn around the other ways which failed to enhance good feng shui for Dr. Sun Yat Sun’s ancestors, failing to diversify his off springs and his ancestors does not proper well as expected to be. Therefore, the selection of an experienced and genuine feng shui master is a very serious matter and should not be easily taken for a ride by “any” feng shui master!

3) Nowadays, there are a lot of FAKE Feng Shui Masters disguised in different coatings. Many of these masters nowadays learn from the media or books or from masters themselves who does not have any proven records, or from those masters themselves who does not have any master at all!. While some even are more daring in getting some old photos of pictures of an individual or some one else claiming to be his or her master, without the photos or pictures taken together with their master as what the old Chinese saying, ” The good and truth student and his master taken a photo together with touching their shoulder to shoulder!”
