There is an ancient tomb in England, and all five tombs face east. Why did China say to repair it?

That's because China has a saying of five lines of gossip. Depending on feng shui and orientation, it is lucky and meaningful to adjust orientation and position reasonably.

20 16, a China student studying in Britain found a cemetery in St. John's cemetery in Newcastle, England, with five tombstones facing east. However, the main body of these tombstones has been broken and tilted, and it is almost impossible to determine who is here. The overseas students immediately took photos and posted them online, which immediately caused a shock. Subsequently, under the impetus of the National Government, five tombstones were renovated for two years. Then, the national government attaches great importance to who is buried here.

This should start with the Opium War. At that time, due to the closed door of the Qing Dynasty, officials were corrupt, domestic uprisings continued, and social unrest was difficult to calm down. They covet foreigners in China, but take advantage of the fire to rob them. Under the attack of a strong ship and a strong gun, the Qing government, which was very backward in equipment and military command, fell into a sad situation. Every war must be defeated, and reparations must be stopped every time it fails.

However, when these people came to Britain, some people were not used to foreign food and weather, and soon became ill because they adapted to the environment. Although they were treated in time, five sailors died in a foreign country. According to China's funeral etiquette, five sailors will go home with coffins for burial. Later, the messenger of the Qing Dynasty came out and bought them a cemetery in St. John's Cemetery. After everything was ready, Beiyang officers and men held a funeral for them. Considering that they can't go back to their hometown, but in order to see their hometown after death, I plan to locate them when they make an inscription.

The five sailors buried in St. John's cemetery can't remember. 20 16 was discovered by students in China. Because the cemetery was purchased by the Qing government, the ownership of the cemetery belongs to China. After many negotiations with Britain, the China government finally started the restoration in 20 17 and completed it in 20 18.
