The Tang Dynasty will perish immediately? Yuan Tiangang's prophecy and historical verificationTang Taizong Li Shimin was the founder of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and his governing ability and military talent are praised. However, after the Tang Dynasty stabilized, Li Shimin fell into the confusion of cultivating immortals and practicing the Tao.
The physiognomy master Yuan Tiangang once predicted the fate of the Tang Dynasty, he said "when the pig goes up the tree", but unfortunately Li Shimin did not understand the meaning of this sentence. In Yuan Tiangang's view, the Tang Dynasty was eternal, but history proved his prediction. The Anshi Rebellion and the Huangchao Rebellion accelerated the decline of the Tang Dynasty, while the rise of Zhu Wen eventually led to the demise of the Tang Dynasty.
The Anshi Rebellion was a node in the decline of the Tang Dynasty, and this rebellion brought great harm to the Tang Dynasty. Despite the great efforts of the imperial court to quell the rebellion, the common people still suffered unbearable burdens. However, people who hoped that all this would end as soon as possible did not expect that the outbreak of the Huangchao Uprising would put Datang in an even more difficult situation.
Zhu Wen took the opportunity to win over all forces, pretended to submit to the Tang Dynasty, and was named the envoy of the festival. This gave him the opportunity to continue to go from strength to strength. Zhu Wen took advantage of the Tang court's policy of cutting down the feudal domain, and attacked Qin Zongquan under the banner of counterinsurgency. A few days later, Qin Zongquan's head was presented to Tang Zhaozong, and Zhu Wen's power became out of control.
He mastered the entire territory of Henan and received natural logistical support. At the same time, Tang Zhaozong continued to weaken the power of the feudal towns, resulting in the total annihilation of the forbidden army. In the end, Zhu Wen captured Tang Zhaozong, took control of Chang'an, and declared Tang Aizong emperor. Tang Aizong was an inexperienced child, nothing more than a pawn of Zhu Wen usurping the power of the Tang Dynasty.
Yuan Tiangang's prophecy came true, and the Tang Dynasty perished. If Li Shimin could understand Yuan Tiangang's words, maybe Zhu Wen's rise would not have a chance. However, history is immutable. Yuan Tiangang's prophecy did not come out of thin air, his physiognomy is the way of heaven and earth, and he knows the truth that heaven cannot be revealed.
He said that "when the pig goes up the tree", he is actually mocking the appearance of Zhu Wen, he thinks that Zhu Wen is like a pig with hoof-shaped feet, and has no ability to go up the tree at all (referring to the Li Tang royal family), but Zhu Wen's appearance led the Tang Dynasty to its demise. This story is food for thought. Although Yuan Tiangang's prophecy seems miraculous, we must also treat it rationally.
The physiognomy master's predictive abilities are certainly strong, but he also needs to think about his own survival. When the emperor invited him to the court, of course he had to curry favor with the emperor in order to save his life. Therefore, we also need to be vigilant when listening to his prophecies.
In today's society, materialism is rampant, and some so-called "intimate friends" are often just snobbish friends. We should be good at trusting, but not gullible. The extent to which we believe in a person needs to be measured by ourselves. Be cautious about the words and deeds of others in order to avoid losing yourself. In short, the development of history proves Yuan Tiangang's prediction.
The demise of the Tang Dynasty was not accidental, it was caused by a series of factors. Yuan Tiangang's prophecy reminds us that we need to maintain a rational attitude towards prophecies and rumors. Only in this way can we truly understand the changes in history and learn from them. Finally, I would like to ask a question: Do you believe in prophecy? Why?
