    Graves, belonging to the category of burial sites, have always been shrouded in mystery in the eyes of the world, and are generally avoided, perhaps out of respect or fear. In folk tradition, graves are also called "xue" (穴). Finding a superior cemetery is believed to ensure the long-lasting prosperity of a family and the wealth and well-being of its descendants. Whether poor or noble, families put considerable effort into finding the right cemetery, which is why many feng shui masters make a living by finding such sites.
