Since the beginning of Chinese civilization, the art of divination has been born, and the emperors of successive dynasties have been convinced of this, believing that there are all kinds of cattle, ghosts, snakes and gods in this world, and these creatures of other worlds affect the development of today's world, and also derive the idea of "divine right of kings", and even in many cases to send troops to fight wars, divination is required to see if they can meet the advantages of heaven and place, or to predict the fortunes of the country.
For example, during the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong Li Shimin wanted to know the national fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, so he found the feng shui divination masters Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng at that time, and let them both calculate the national fortunes of the Tang Dynasty for themselves, which also had the later "Push Back Map", and there was such a gua xiang in the "Push Back Map", which predicted that in the Year of the Ugly Cow, the war would start outside the wall, so was this prediction true? Can you believe it?
The development of divination
The art of divination can be said to have existed since China entered the civilized society, or there was divination in the tribal period, but there are very few records of that period, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, even if there is, it cannot be counted in it, and to say that after this, at least in many historical books and classics, there are relevant records, we can also clearly understand the development of divination.
The art of divination has been accurately recorded since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, for example, during the Zhou Dynasty, King Wen of Zhou combined 64 gua elephants according to bagua, and used the turtle shell as a medium to predict auspiciousness, and also compiled his life's research into the book "Zhou Yi", which also greatly promoted the development and inheritance of the art of divination, and later generations studied and studied on this basis, and expanded it to a higher realm, until today, this divination technique still exists in the folk, and many people also have a lot of research on the content in "Zhou Yi".
Of course, now that we have entered the era of scientific rationality, people no longer believe in this feudal ideology and culture, but they do not know that in ancient times, not only the ordinary people of the people, but even the rulers of the upper class, especially the emperors, were convinced of this divination technique, and they believed that they could predict the future through this method, foresee the development direction of a thing, and even know the end of their lives, so since ancient times, Many emperors would ask some famous warlocks of the time to calculate their fate for themselves or the country.
Among them was The Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Shimin, although under his rule the Tang Dynasty flourished and created an unprecedented prosperity, known as the rule of Zhenguan, but he was still not satisfied with this status quo, he did not know whether his dynasty could continue, this problem has been bothering him, and even made him sleep and eat, and finally he decided to go to the famous divination masters at that time, that is, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, and invited these two people to calculate the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty for themselves on the attic.
The birth and circulation of "Push Back Map"
After Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng received the invitation of Tang Taizong, they were forced to go to calculate the national fortunes of the Tang Dynasty for them under pressure, and at the very beginning the two wanted to simply calculate the national fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, but the two became more and more interested in the process of carrying out, so they continued the reckoning all the way back, and this continuation even went to the millennium after the Tang Dynasty, until the 60th Gua Xiang when Yuan Tiangang found that the two people had calculated too much, and could not be calculated anymore, otherwise it was likely to be punished by heaven for leaking the heavenly opportunity. It may even affect the people of the country, so these trigrams calculated by the two were later compiled into the "Push back map".
And the gua xiang described in the "Push Back Map" is narrated in a very obscure language, each sentence has its own deep meaning, and does not clearly and clearly tell the world what the future will be, for this, I believe many people should have some understanding, the warlock for people to calculate the fate and the future, can not be fully calculated.
Moreover, the calculated result can not be clearly and clearly informed to the parties, if you do this is to leak the heavenly opportunity, you will definitely be punished, the light is broken, the heavy is the destruction of the family, which is why the "Push Back Map" to 60 Gua Xiang abruptly stopped, and its content is also presented to the world in a vague and unclear expression.
Unfortunately, the real "Push Back Map" has not been completely preserved, after all, the Tang Dynasty is too far away from the current era, so long years in the real original work has disappeared, people now see the "Push Back Map", most of the Ming and Qing Dynasty literati scholars based on the remnants of the compilation of compilation, most of the content of the authenticity is difficult to distinguish, the version circulated is not consistent, but in general there is no very big difference.
Is it true that "war begins outside the walls"?
Among the sixty gua elephants in the "Push back map", the thirty-eighth gua elephant once described that "in the year of the ugly ox, the war will rise outside the wall", so is this prophecy true or false? According to the calculation of the time of the "Push back map" every 30 years, the year of the Xin Ugly Bull mentioned in the thirty-eighth gua xiang is exactly 1901, because the decadent rule of the Qing government caused China to lag far behind the world and was invaded by other Western capitalist countries, and in this year China was forced to sign the humiliating "Xin Ugly Treaty" with Japan.
After this incident, more Western countries began to invade China, all wanting to seek a share of the chaos, so the war did start outside the wall, and outside the wall is China's national border, outside the wall is these powerful foreign enemies, speaking of this, then the prophecy in the "Push back map" has been well explained.
However, even so, there are still many loopholes, first of all, such an explanation is only that we go to fit the prophecy, whether there is really a connection between the two is not known, and secondly, the authenticity of this prophecy is difficult to distinguish, because many of the "Push Back Map" were handed down during the Qing Dynasty, and it is likely that some Qing Dynasty scholars experienced this event in the early 20th century and described it in the "Push Back Map".
epilogue
So in general, we can't come up with a definite answer to the truth or falsity of this prophecy in "Push Back Map", because this kind of illusory, unfounded prophecy really has no scientific reason to speak of, not to mention that the versions circulated are inconsistent, and the credibility is greatly reduced, so everyone can look at "Push Back Map" as an entertaining book.
Don't believe the prophecies and events described in it, we can't know about the future life, so we still have to be down-to-earth and do everything carefully, only in this way can we create our own beautiful life, and we can also contribute our own strength to the country and society.
