There is a prophecy in the Tang Dynasty: three generations of emperors, Li Tang of wu dynasty. Li Shimin asked Yuan Tiangang when The Tang Dynasty would die, Yuan replied, when the pig went up the tree. It is a pity that Li Shimin did not understand the meaning until his death?
He was a well-known feng shui master, he was Yuan Tiangang, an astronomer in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties who was also a metaphysician, who worked in xiangshu and was the most famous feng shui master at that time. The ancients especially believed in feng shui and fate, believing that the big things and small things in their lives were controlled by the heavens in the dark. Because of this, feng shui masters had a high social status at that time, and they were also extremely respected beings, the most famous of which was Yuan Tiangang.
Legend has it that he once showed the young Wu Zetian a face, and after divination, he said that she was destined to be a rich and noble person, and it was very likely that she would become the lord of the world in the future. At that time, the Wu family did not care about yuan tiangang because they saw that he was young.
Later, when the facts were fulfilled, Yuan Tiangang also suddenly became famous, and his name gradually spread to Li Shimin's ears, and he immediately sent someone to invite Yuan Tiangang to the palace, asking him to calculate for himself and calculate the national conditions of the Tang Dynasty in the next few years or even decades.
After learning of Li Shimin's idea, Yuan Tiangang was in trouble, although he could predict the prophet, but he could not ask the answer to anyone, after all, these are all future things, the so-called heavenly opportunity can not be leaked, once leaked too much, it is likely to affect their luck.
At that time, the person who was ordered to enter the palace to make calculations and predictions for the emperor was not only Yuan Tiangang, but there was also a capable person named Li Chunfeng, but the two people did not want to predict this kind of leak of heavenly opportunities, so after entering the palace, they politely rejected him.
But this did not stop Tang Taizong's idea, and after the two people returned home, Li Shimin personally went to visit the next day. The emperor personally visited, and the two naturally did not dare to refuse. In this way, as Tang Taizong entered the palace, after entering the palace, Li Shimin treated the two people with courtesy, and after taking the two people to choose a place with excellent feng shui, he began to deduce the future of the Tang Dynasty.
After the two of them finished their deduction, Li Shimin, as the emperor, was naturally very concerned about the future of the Tang Dynasty and hurriedly asked them when the Tang Dynasty would perish. This problem is really difficult for two people, predicting the national fortune after all has a high risk, and one carelessness is likely to invite the disaster of killing.
Just when the two answered exactly, Yuan Tiangang thought of a good idea, and he replied to Tang Taizong: "When the pig goes up the tree, the Tang Dynasty will perish." This sentence neither explicitly revealed the content of the calculation, nor did it disappoint Tang Taizong, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
But Tang Taizong, who heard this sentence, failed to understand the meaning, and even thought that the Tang Dynasty would never perish, because in everyone's cognition, how could a pig go up to a tree?
In fact, Yuan Tiangang did not mean that the Tang Dynasty could flourish forever, but that in the future there would be a person surnamed Zhu who would come to destroy the Tang Dynasty. "Pig" is Zhu's harmonic sound, and later confirmed his speculation that "pig" really went up the tree, but this "pig" refers to Zhu Wen.
Zhu Wen attacked the capital, killed the last emperor Tang Zhaozong, and ended the Tang Dynasty's regime, which also meant that the Tang Dynasty was really destroyed. In this way, history confirms that Yuan Tiangang's reckoning is correct, and the Tang Dynasty did end in the hands of people with the surname Zhu.
In fact, Yuan Tiangang made many predictions at the beginning, and almost in the next 2,000 years, all major events were predicted, and those predictions were recorded in a chart, that is, the legendary "Push Back Map".
This is what he and Li Chunfeng speculated together, at that time it could be described as a shocking work, countless people in order to get it, fight for your life, they used hidden language in order not to leak the heavenly machine, the average person can not understand it at all, so even if someone gets it, it is difficult to crack.
But when things happen, and then compare them with the prophecies, countless people will suddenly realize that they have to admire the wisdom of these two people, and they have done a great thing for future generations, but also equivalent to not doing it, because no one can understand it. Because of this, later generations would praise Yuan Tiangang's ability so much, and even worship him as a "god man".
In fact, whether it is Yuan Tiangang or other people who know divination, their strength cannot be underestimated, and after the long river of history, it has just verified Yuan Tiangang's ability. Since Providence is like this, although it is possible to speculate on Providence, there is no way to change the facts, just like the demise of the Tang Dynasty, which is impossible to change history.
The reason why people believe in fortune telling and confession of fate is more for a beautiful hope, and after the warlock explains his good future word by word, he will remember every bit in his heart. This is a direction, explained by modern thinking, that is, things are in constant change, believe or not will have different endings, this is the effect of the interaction between man and nature.
In fact, people should conform to the laws of nature, rather than thinking of conquering it, because only the harmony of nature can promote the harmony of people and ultimately maintain good luck. Once you try to hinder it, crack it, then it is easy to pay a heavy price.
What do you think about that? Additional discussions are welcome!
