Wu Zi Tian Jia Yin Shi San Tong Ming Hui

Li, whose name is Changrong, was born in Wei County (now a famous name in Hebei Province) in the Tang Dynasty. His ancestral home is Longxi (now southwest of Gansu Province). He was born in 76 1 and died in 8 13. Li Chong's eighth grandson served in the Northern Wei Dynasty and was ordered by the Tang Dynasty. In the eleventh year of Zhenyuan, he was a scholar, tried books and edited secretary's orthography. After being given advice, he moved to the temple to serve the advice.

Believe in the art of longevity, know the five elements of the book, calculate the life span of people according to the date of birth, and regard the later generations of China (note: this is the view at that time) as the ancestors of the stars. Han Yu said in Li's epitaph that he was "foolproof", which shows how accurate he is. But it's a pity that Li didn't write a book, and this book "Li's Life Letter" was signed by later generations? Xiaomi writing, virtual notes? In fact, it is a fake book under the guise of Song people.

Fortune telling with "four pillars and eight characters" currently belongs to Li in the Tang Dynasty. Year, month, day and hour: "In the Tang Dynasty, Li focused on his daily work, but he restrained himself by keeping the year and month together, and let the prisoners leave the scene with great enthusiasm and adopted a standing pattern. This is not issued by the sages before, so this is the sect of the master. " Yuan Haiziping on the Sun: "If you have a detailed taste and observation, those who have Li in the Tang Dynasty will take the date when they were born and talk about your life!" These two ancient books clearly record that the eight-character method originated from Li. The book "Good or Bad Birthday" published by HKUST also talks about Li, and thinks that Li is one of the eight-character fortune tellers, and the discussion of good or bad birthdays should be more authoritative. This is a scientific and rigorous numerology book, and it is the first time to let fortune-telling board the academic hall.

Xia Yun, "Life and death, wealth in the sky". Although people believed in fate a long time ago, it is not easy for know life to predict fate seriously. It is not known when the art of promoting life began. Lian said in "Distinguishing the Road" that "the art of loneliness is covered with Jia Zi and five elements to push people to forgive, and its art is long-lasting". "With the later generations, Shu was publicly owned, while Tao Hongjing copied it". Lin and Tao Hongjing were both from the Southern and Northern Dynasties. However, these in-depth systems were a little incomplete and soon died out. Until the mid-Tang Dynasty, a pioneering master figure appeared, which pushed the life-pushing technique to a new historical stage and gradually formed the four-column eight-character life-pushing technique, which was the mainstream of later generations. This man is Li.

In fact, the so-called eight-character fate. It is to calculate people's poverty and blame by the dry branches of the year, month and day when they were born. The ancients used heavenly stems and earthly branches to measure time. For example, at 8: 00 pm on February 22, 2008, it can be expressed as Wuzi Year, Jiayin Month, Renchen Day and Gengxushi by dry branches. If a person was born at this time, his eight characters are Wuzi, Jiayin, Renchen and Geng Xu. In ancient times, heavenly stems and earthly branches corresponded to the five elements respectively. By examining the mutual restriction of the five elements represented by the eight characters, we can infer the living standard of people. Han Yu said that Li's "starting with the date of birth and taking the date of birth as the support" was understood by later generations as only considering the date of birth and not considering the time. This * * * is six words, which is different from the eight-character fortune-telling of later generations. Li once wrote the book of life, but it has been lost. Although "Da Dian" contains three volumes of "False Life Letter" and uses eight characters to discuss life, this book is suspected as a forgery by Song people, and it is difficult to decide after all. However, Ji Xiaolan, a Qing man, put forward a new viewpoint in Notes of Yuewei Caotang. He said that the reason why people say that Han Yu's words are wrongly broken is that they should not be broken before "the sky is straight". But "the word' Zhi Zhi Richen' should be connected with the year, month and day as one sentence, and later generations mistakenly regard the subordinate words as one sentence". In this way, the time that Chen refers to in "Richen" is the time when he advocates that Li is a eight-character fate theory.

After Li's death, Li He asked Han Yu to write an epitaph for Li: Epitaph of Taishi in the Temple.
