It is said that he can know yin and yang and distinguish between life and death. This man's background is not simple. He was the uncle of Yuan Tiangang, the imperial supervisor of Qin Dynasty, and Yuan Tiangang, a famous astrologer in Tang Dynasty, invented the fortune-telling method that has been passed down to this day.

Yuan Shoucheng sells hexagrams in the busy street of West Gate of Chang 'an, and his business is very prosperous. Before finding the divination stall, King Jinghe wanted to have an attack on the spot, but he was shocked by Mr. Yuan Shoucheng's unique and extraordinary appearance, so he accepted his contempt and asked Yuan Shoucheng about a divination.

The gentleman asked, "What did you come to ask?" The dragon king said, "Please talk about the rain and shine in the sky." Mr. Wang immediately started a lesson and said, "Clouds fan the top of the mountain and fog covers the treetops." If you occupy Yuze, you must be in the Ming Dynasty. " The dragon king said, "When will it rain tomorrow? How heavy is the rain? " Mr. Wang said, "It will be cloudy tomorrow, thunder at noon and rain at noon. The water will be three feet, three inches and forty-eight minutes. " The Dragon King smiled and said, "That's not a joke.

If it rains tomorrow, according to the number of hours you rest, I will give you 52 shifts as a thank you. If it doesn't rain, or if it doesn't count by the hour, I'll tell you the truth, I'll smash your facade, tear off your signboard and kick you out of Chang 'an at once. Don't confuse people here! The gentleman readily replied, "This is yours." Please, please, come after the rain in the Ming Dynasty. "
