Fortune teller, governor's wife

Yuan Tiangang was a famous figure in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties. Many people know him from a wonderful book called Push Endorsement, because it accurately predicts some major events and changes that will happen in China and even the world thousands of years after the Tang Dynasty, such as Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, the demise of the Ming Dynasty, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and so on.

Whether these explanations were forcibly attached to Tutui by later generations is unknown, but many people are still willing to believe that the authors of Tutui, Yuan Tiangang and Li, have the ability to predict the future. So what kind of person is Yuan Tiangang, the author of China's first wonderful book?

In fact, according to historical records, Yuan Tiangang was a fortune teller. He is just a particularly accurate warlock. Because of his accuracy, he is famous. Because of his minor fame, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin summoned him.

So, how good is Yuan Tiangang? According to official records, Yuan Tiangang had accurately calculated the fate of many important officials in the early Tang Dynasty except Du Yan, Wang Jue, Wei Ting, Dou Gui and Ma Zhou. You know, these calculations are not from unofficial history rumors, but recorded in the new? In the official history such as Old Tang Book, the credibility is still very high.

In addition, Yuan Tiangang also calculated the Wu Zetian family. At that time, Wu Shihuo, Wu Zetian's father, was appointed as the governor of Lizhou (Lizhou is mainly located in Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province today, with southern Gansu and southwestern Shaanxi as the intersection of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces). Here, Wu Shihuo met Yuan Tiangang, and Yuan Tiangang made a divination for Wu Shihuo's wife and children. When Yuan Tiangang met his wife Yang Shi, she said that she would have a son, and later she met two sons of a soldier. It is said that their daughter Wu Shun (that is, Mrs. Han) is very rich, but that is her husband's life. Later, Wu Zetian's wet nurse took Wu Zetian, who was only two years old, out and lied that Wu Zetian was a boy to show Yuan Tiangang. Yuan Tiangang repeatedly sighed after seeing her appearance, saying that if Wu Zetian was a daughter, she would be the son of heaven in the future.

Yuan Tiangang's fate calculated by the ministers and the Wu family was confirmed one by one in the future. Later, Yuan Tiangang's name reached Li Shimin's ears, and Li Shimin called him into the palace to stay with him. As for what Yuan Tiangang and Li Shimin did together, there is no clear record in the history books, but we can speculate according to some clues.

Its art is like this. Gao Shilian said: What will you be? ? (Yuan Tiangang) Xie Yue:? Servants and summer and April, the number is exhausted. ? Order the volcano to die as scheduled

This sentence comes from the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, from which we can see the ending of Yuan Tiangang. One day, Gao Shilian asked Yuan Tiangang what he could do in the future. Yuan Tiangang replied that he would die in April, and then he died in April, which was the end of Yuan Tiangang. There is an official named? Volcanic decree? Yuan Tiangang died of? Volcanic decree? Is there any record about dating in Old Tang Book? Fire well order? .

Some people say that the Firewell Order is the Firewell County Order. In the Tang Dynasty, there was such a county, which is in today's Sichuan area. This statement can't explain why the New Tang Book records. Volcanic decree? And Yuan Tiangang's job is a fortuneteller, and then a metaphysical, yin and yang, astronomers and so on. As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art, and the famous fortuneteller is the county magistrate. I'm afraid it's hard to appear in Li Shimin during the Zhenguan period.

So, the author thinks, is it? Volcanic decree? Or? Fire well order? Should be similar to? Where is Qin? A kind of official position, after all, when Yuan Tiangang was famous for his physiognomy, he was called into the palace by Li Shimin. ? Where is Qin? It was an official position in charge of astronomy and meteorology in Ming and Qing Dynasties. This official position has existed since the Qin dynasty, but it was not called at that time. Where is Qin? .

Therefore, after Yuan Tiangang was called into the palace, he must have been engaged in astronomical and meteorological work for a long time, so that he had access to Fang Lingxuan and Gao Shilian, important officials of Zhenguan Dynasty, and then died in office, which also made sense.
