In Chinese history, there have always been many fortune tellers, represented by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. In our official history books, many of their legendary deeds are recorded, from the emperor's performance on stage to the ups and downs of the princes and generals, and the predictions of these people seem to be very accurate.
Of course, the whole history is not unique in China, and there are many so-called prophecies in the Western world. For example, in France, there is a so-called genius-level prophecy master, who studied medicine, then studied astrology, and later studied literature, and the result was a combination of many to develop a theory that predicted the future.
In french history, this person predicted countless events, and his reputation in France was comparable to that of Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty, and he even wrote a masterpiece before his death, "Centuries", which claimed to predict the future. Some of these predictions have actually happened, and some even predict that they will reach 2020. So the question is, is this true or false?
The legendary French prophetic master, named Nostradamus, was born in Provence in 1503 with a very ordinary family background, and he himself was not special when he was born.
However, looking at the time period, we also know that the Western world at that time was still in the stage of groping for the world, so it often liked to construct a mysterious world view. It is clear that Nostradamus was deeply influenced by this at an early age and aspired to have a basic understanding of the world and the universe.
But at that time, people knew the whole world, not only by scientific research, they needed to have a combination of multiple means, Nostradamus's own choice was to use mathematics as the basis, medicine as the way of observation, and then astrology to operate.
If this is put up to now, many people will definitely say that he is a god stick, but in fact, this person is quite successful in this regard, and the combination of multiple disciplines has actually made him the French version of Liu Bowen.
For example, when the Black Death was raging, this person used his superb medical knowledge to help people alleviate the disease, and made great achievements. Through the accumulation of medical practice, he soon gained a great reputation. Because of his fame, he used his reputation to start telling fortunes to others, which could be different from the I Ching gossip in the streets and alleys, but some mathematical principles and other mystical doctrines.
From the records, this man's prediction seems to have been successful, and even some theological experts admired him very much. It is said that his prediction was basically wrong, for example, someone challenged him to judge the fate of two pigs, and as a result, he directly pointed out his prediction, and others specifically wanted to punch him in the face, so they deliberately let one go and then killed one. But I never expected that the person who executed it below had a problem, and the result of the prediction was exactly the same. We don't say whether this is a show or not, but it is clear that this person's challenge has successfully allowed Nostradamus to further confirm the title of Master of Prophecy.
Even the later King Henry II of France heard of his name and invited him into the palace to tell his fortune. For 5 years, this man was highly respected by the King of France and predicted his death when he left.
He said the young lion would defeat the old lion, and in a one-on-one battle he would pierce the eyes in the golden cage. As a result, Henry II was stabbed in the eye and temples and died.
Because this person created too much fame at that time, he wrote a special work before his death, called "Centuries". The book is divided into twelve volumes, each of which contains a hundred four-sentence poems, each of which is a prophecy. In later history, the book has been regarded as a divine work, and it has constantly verified the future direction, so the Centuries has been called the Book of Prophecy.
Interestingly, the book not only predicts the history of the time, but even the history of the present. But many of his predictions are obscure, so it is necessary to compare them with reality little by little to be able to suddenly understand them.
When the time came, someone soon parsed the prophecy of the book and pointed out the prediction for 2020. According to the book, at this stage, the world will face three disasters, namely meteorites falling on the earth to cause mass casualties, widespread inflation and even famine around the world, and extreme weather phenomena causing global disasters, especially France.
Because Nostradamus is so famous and has been continuously proven in French history, his predictions have attracted the attention of scholars around the world, and even some ordinary people have really prepared materials to deal with disasters.
So the question is, how do we view this incident?
First of all, without discussing whether this prophecy can happen in reality, the book "Centuries", which contains all the prophecies, is actually likely to be a scam.
Because scholars in the study of history found that the "Centuries" has a considerable content, did not write a date of publication, and the French academic circles also clearly recorded, including the French Revolution and Napoleon's revolution, the book has been arbitrarily added prophecy, as a way to propagate.
Even during the Hitler period in Germany, the Fuehrer fictionalized this work to promote the inevitable victory of Germany and the fact that the world would belong to Germany.
But in fact, Germany lost everything, and the various additions of that year made this prophetic book very ridiculous.
Second, even if many of the previous predictions were true, you should know from watching Asimov's base series that if someone can really build a predictive model, then the closer the history of their prediction, the easier it is, and the farther away the time is, the more variables the more uncontrollable.
Therefore, in my personal opinion, this book not only exists in the historical possibility of action, but also has many loopholes in the actual prediction, which can be used as idle capital, not as a real prophecy.
