What precise predictions did Yuan Tiangang make in history?

Yuan Tiangang in the Tang Dynasty was called the first master of Feng Shui in the history of China. According to legend, he knows the past and the future, and his face-reading ability is the best in the world. Proficient in facial expressions, you can tell good from bad by listening to the wind, and the skill of physiognomy has reached its peak. He made many great predictions in his life, and no one can break them so far.

Yuan Tiangang was born in Guan's second generation, Sui Dynasty. His father Yuanji is the treasurer of Liangzhou, and his uncle Yuan Shoucheng is a famous warlock. Yuan Tiangang doesn't like to learn the art of love. He studied warlocks, especially physiognomy, from his uncle Yuan Shoucheng.

After Yuan Tiangang entered the official career, he was appointed as Luoyang Asset Management Order. When Yuan Tiangang first arrived in Luoyang, he settled down in Tsinghua Square. At this time, his physiognomy prediction has long been a minor celebrity, and people come to him in an endless stream. At that time, Du Yan, Wang Jue and Wei Ting also invited Yuan Tiangang to see the photo. Yuan Tiangang predicted that all three would get ahead, specifically: Du Yan would be famous for his articles; Wang Jue has been an official for five years; Wei Ting, eyeing the military attache. However, the three of them will be in danger at night-they will all be condemned after they become officials, and they will definitely "get together again" here in the future.

Later, Yuan Tiangang's prediction came true. During the Wude period in Tang Gaozu, Du Yan was elected as a bachelor of Ce Tian by admonition; Prince Li recommended Wang Jue as Prince Zhongyun and Wei Ting as military attache. When their careers were smooth sailing, the three of them didn't expect to be demoted to our state because of the palace coup, and they did meet again here.

Of course, it's nothing. Yuan Tiangang's masterpiece "Prophecy" is a prophecy of Wu Zetian. According to Old Tang Book, Yuan Tiangang traveled around the world when he was young, and accidentally met Mrs. Yang, the mother of Wu Zetian. At that time, Wu Zetian was still a baby. Yuan Tiangang saw Wu Zetian disguised as a man and said two words in utter amazement. The first sentence is eight words. The second sentence is also eight words: if you are a woman, you must be the son of heaven.

Yuan Tiangang's classic "Prophecy" successfully made such a prediction by observing the stars at night, or in eight words: the emperor passed down for three generations, and Wu replaced it. That is to say, after the third generation, the Li Dynasty will have the disaster of "Wu Shi replacing Tang Dynasty". As a result, his prediction spread inadvertently and reached the ears of Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong.

A stone stirs up a thousand waves. For the sake of Lee's ten thousand generations, Emperor Taizong ordered a thorough investigation of this matter, but the result was inconclusive, so Emperor Taizong invited Li, a disciple of Yuan Tiangang.

It is said that Yuan Tiangang is older than Li 19 years old. After Li became his teacher, Yuan Tiangang gave him everything. Li lived up to his master's teaching and soon became a master of geomantic omen and prophecy. Later, the two masters also wrote a wonderful book, TuiBei Map.

Emperor Taizong asked Li about the situation. After Li's deduction, this "Wu Shi" is in the harem. Emperor Taizong was shocked and then asked if killing Wu Shi could "avoid disaster". Li shook his head and said eight words: providence, people can't violate it. This means that people can't change what is destined to happen in heaven. Emperor Taizong asked him urgently what to do. Li said 1 1 with a smile: this man can guarantee the inheritance of Datang for 300 years. In other words, if Wu Shi was forcibly killed, then the Tang Dynasty would perish in the third generation. You know, although Wu Shi will usurp the throne, the Tang Dynasty can survive for 300 years after her death.

Facts have proved that this prediction is correct, and Wu Shi is Wu Zetian. Although she was suppressed by Emperor Taizong to Ganye Temple, she climbed Tang Gaozong, the son of Emperor Taizong, and later attacked as a queen, and finally sat on the throne. After winning the throne in one fell swoop, Yuan Tiangang also faced the disaster of beheading at this time.

Wu Zetian called Yuan Tiangang, who almost killed her by revealing the secret, to cut off his head as a "punishment". Yuan Tiangang saved his life with only one sentence, 10: Your Majesty is addicted to prosperity and decline! It is recorded in the old and new books of the Tang Dynasty that when Wu Zetian ascended the throne, a big stone fell from the sky on Luoyang, engraved with the eight characters "Goddess, Yongchang Diye", so Wu Zetian later moved to Luoyang, and Yuan Tiangang revealed the truth of Wu Zetian's accession to the throne, so he escaped.

Wu Zetian not only spared Yuan Tiangang, but also sat up and took notice of him. According to legend, in her later years, Wu Zetian summoned all the strange people in the world to choose a mausoleum for herself. Finally, she chose Yuan Tiangang and Li as her mentors.

After receiving the order, both of them began to search for famous mountains all over the world, seeking dragons and acupoints. After 7749 days, Yuan Tiangang selected a treasure land of geomantic omen and buried a copper coin, while after 998 1 day, Li also selected a treasure land and put a hairpin as a symbol. But coincidentally, the treasure house of Feng Shui discovered by the two men is exactly the same place, namely Liangshan, Ganxian County, Xianyang City, and Li's hair clasp is just inserted in the middle of the copper coin hole buried in Yuan Tiangang. Finally, Wu Zetian buried herself here-Ganling.

Later, Yuan Tiangang and Li also chose their own cemeteries. Coincidentally, the cemeteries of both of them were chosen in Chang 'an County, several hundred meters apart.

However, to the surprise of later generations, Yuan Tiangang's cemetery still exists after 1000 years, and it has never been stolen. And Li's grave has long been ransacked. The graves of the master and the apprentice are not far apart. Why is the apprentice's cemetery looted, while the master's cemetery is intact?

Later generations thought that Yuan Tiangang's cemetery happened to be in the military camp through analysis. Even more coincidentally, every time there is a war, the army will be stationed on his cemetery, which is protected by the "official" and has never been stolen.

However, this is only an ideographic understanding, and the truth is not entirely the case. Li Feng Chun hit the nail on the head before he died. According to legend, before he died, Li told his descendants: Hundreds of years after my death, the cemetery will be stolen, and my master Yuan Tiangang's tomb will be well preserved forever. Later generations asked him why, and Li replied: My master has been indifferent to fame and fortune all his life, and has accumulated merits and virtues. And I'm famous for my fame. Although I am the prime minister, I have caused too much resentment. After I die, there will be enemies to dig my grave to vent their anger. And grave robbers are afraid to touch his grave because they admire Yuan Tiangang.

Legend or not, in any case, after the founding of New China, the tombs of Yuan Tiangang and Li were protected as cultural relics.
