The magic is so amazing that it predicts the demise of the Southern Tang Dynasty

Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Southern Tang Dynasty was a partial An Dynasty that occupied Jiangnan, one of the "Ten Kingdoms", and the capital was Jiangning (also known as Jinling, that is, Nanjing). Before the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty, there were prophecy nursery rhymes, which are now introduced to you.

In September of the seventh year of the Northern Song Dynasty (974 AD), Zhao Kuangyin, the taizu of the Northern Song Dynasty, sent more than 100,000 troops to attack the Southern Tang On the grounds that Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, refused to take the order not to go to the dynasty, and in March of the eighth year of Kaibao (975 AD), the Northern Song army attacked the city of Jinling and surrounded it, and the lord Li Yu decided to defend the city to the end. The city began to have "weak feet" diseases one after another, and many people died as a result. "Weak foot" is "beriberi". "Beriberi" is not "beriberi", beriberi is tinea pedis, beriberi is vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency in modern medicine, common manifestations of weakness, fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath, etc., can lead to heart failure until death.

During this period, a nursery rhyme suddenly became popular in the city: "Sode Niang came to break the house, and the peach and plum in the back garden did not produce flowers." Pigs and dogs always die, and cats are eaten in red fistula. ”

When the wind and rain are shaking, this strange nursery rhyme appears, and everyone feels strange. At this time, a monk explained: "Niang", referring to the empress dowager, "Sode Niang came to break the house" This sentence refers to the fact that after the death of the lord Li Yu after the Great Zhou, he married her sister and was crowned empress, known as "Xiao Zhou Hou". This year is the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty (968 AD), and the Southern Tang Dynasty will also perish during the Northern Song Kaibao year. Xiao Zhouhou would be the last empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The southern Tang royal family surnamed Li, "Houyuan Peach Li does not produce flowers" means that the Southern Tang Li royal family can no longer produce emperors, and the later lord Li Yu will be the last emperor of southern Tang.

The Northern Song Dynasty fought against the Southern Tang in the seventh and eighth years of Kaibao, and these two years coincided with the Year of the Dog and the Year of the Pig according to the genus, and "pigs and dogs will always die" means that there will be "weak feet" in Jinling City, and there will be many dead; it also indicates that the Southern Tang Dynasty will end in these two years.

"Red fistula" is an eye disease, cats with eye disease can not see mice, "raise cats meet red fistula" a guide Tang Qi number has been exhausted, absolutely does not last until the year of the C rat (Kaibao nine years). Sure enough, although Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, tried every means to hold on, he even launched a counterattack and waited for reinforcements. However, on November 27, the eighth year of Kaibao (Year of the Pig), Jinling was still attacked by the Northern Song army, and Li Yu finally had to surrender, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed.

From this nursery rhyme, it can be seen that history is arranged by heaven, and the fixed number in it cannot be changed by human efforts. No matter how the later lord Li Yu insisted on jinling, his national fortunes still lasted less than the year of the rat.
