How old did Yuan Tiangang live?

Yuan Tiangang lived to be 88 years old.

Yuan Tiangang (commonly known as "Gang", 547-635) was born in Chengdu (now Chengdu, Sichuan). Metaphysical scientist and astronomer at the end of Sui Dynasty and the beginning of Tang Dynasty. Legend has it that he is good at "learning from the wind", that is, depending on the wind and direction, he can judge whether it is good or bad, and he is tired or uncomfortable. He is also proficient in facial expressions, six rings and five elements. Sui was the official order, and Tang Wude was the order of Huojing County in Shu County. In the sixth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong heard his name and wrote to North Korea, and was accepted as a think tank. In the eighth year of Zhenguan (634), at his request, Emperor Taizong reinstated his post of Huojing county magistrate and sent him back to his hometown. In the same year, Yuan Tiangang died.

Baiheshan Tiangong Courtyard is the former residence of Yuan Tiangang before he became an official and when he avoided chaos at the end of his official career. Yuan Tiangang died and was buried near the Tiangongyuan. Since then, the court has ordered the repair and expansion of the Tiangong Courtyard, but with the passage of war and time, the Tiangong Courtyard has been abandoned. Slowly, people no longer know its specific location.

During the Tianshun period of the Ming Dynasty, someone visited Baihe Mountain and found the tombstone of Yuan Tiangang's tomb by accident, and determined the location of the tomb. At this time, there are many weeds here, and the Temple of Heaven has already been destroyed, so it was noted in the newspaper that Yingzong requested to repair the Yuan Tiangang cemetery and rebuild the Temple of Heaven sacrifice, and with Ming Yingzong's consent, the new Temple of Heaven began to break ground near Yuan Tiangang's tomb, which was finally completed in Tianshun for three years. The buildings include Daxiong Hall, Guanyin Hall, Wanniantai and Niuwangting. And Ming Yingzong came here to personally mark the Temple of Heaven.

According to legend, TuiBei was written by Li and Yuan Tiangang. Li calculated with Zhouyi Bagua. Unexpectedly, he was addicted and out of control. He actually calculated the fate of China for more than two thousand years after the Tang Dynasty, until Yuan Tiangang gave him a push and said, "Let's go back and rest." Therefore, this wonderful prophecy book was named "TuiBei Map".
