Quick answer

What does Phạm Đình Hổ say about whether the ancients chose land when burying their dead?

In Vũ trung tùy bút, Phạm Đình Hổ holds that in former times burial did not involve choosing sandy ground or consulting phong thủy to place a grave, not even for the sages. He says a dutiful son simply chose a high, dry place to bury his parent so the remains would rest peacefully, and if divination was used at all, it was only to avoid places that would later become walls, roads, or to avoid fire, water and robbers intruding. Many other opinions hold that this was only his personal view, since history records many imperial tombs whose terrain was chosen with great care.
