Feng Shui is an East Asian belief that the power of the land can do you a favor or change your destiny. This was used significantly when people needed graves, better education, or even more. For graves, putting your parents in a specific location could have made your family wealthy. For education, a certain house would have made your children suddenly smart.

Many people wouldn’t believe this, but however, there is proof. During the last decades of the Joseon dynasty, one royal blood, but unfortunately not the king, tried to coup the throne and put his son in the royal throne. So he looked for land to put the grave of his father. And he did, but it came with a price. The price was that if you put your father’s grave, your family will be royal, but only for 2 generations and the kingdom will fall.

Impatiently, he put his father and all of sudden, the current king part away, leaving them to the throne. And he put his son, Yi Myeong-bok, to the throne. Then the son became Gojong.
