Yuan Tiangang made a bet with an old farmer that divination was a shoo-in. Why did he finally lose?

Yuan Tiangang is a strange man in history. He is proficient in astronomical calendar and Taoism, especially in divination and geomantic omen, and is an authority figure.

He helped Gaozong find the mausoleum, which is now very famous Ganling. In fact, there is not much information about Yuan Tiangang in history, and people don't know much about this character. Some mysterious figures like them, though unknown to future generations, have left many legends, one of which is very interesting.

What's going on here?

Yuan Tiangang is good at divination, and few people are his opponents in this respect. However, before he became famous, he once met a powerful opponent among the people. When he was out playing, he met an old farmer on the road. They had a good talk at that time, and he was eating in the old farmhouse.

When eating, the old farmer suddenly said that it might rain, so he asked his wife to come out to collect clothes. Yuan Tiangang is ready to leave. He looked at the weather. The sky is clear and there is no sign of rain.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, it began to rain, which was a lightning strike. Yuan Tiangang lost face, but after all, the old farmer was right and he had to give up. So how did the old farmer win Yuan Tiangang?

In fact, the old farmer is not proficient in divination, just an ordinary farmer, but his legs and feet are not good, and it hurts when it rains. His leg ached faintly at that time, so he concluded that it was going to rain soon.

Yuan Tiangang didn't lose in divination, he just lacked some common sense of life. Of course, Yuan Tiangang was still a rookie at that time. He has just started his career, and he lacks experience and common sense.

Most people don't think it will rain suddenly when they see the weather is fine. After all, everything will happen in nature, and even extreme weather such as solar rain will appear. Therefore, it is difficult for anyone to calculate the change of the weather. Of course, this is just a legend, not necessarily true, but it also shows that Yuan Tiangang was immature and overconfident in his abilities.

At that time, people were in awe of nature, and people who were good at divination had a very high status at that time. But in order to ensure the mystery, this kind of work is strictly confidential in the process of inheritance, and it is difficult for outsiders to understand what divination is all about.

In modern times, people know that these things are superstitious, and of course they are not true, but there are some such places that modern science cannot explain. I think it must make sense to exist for so many years and pass it on.

This time with Yuan Tiangang and others divination. At that time, he used divination to predict the weather in combination with the surrounding environment. In fact, it's a little creepy to do so. After all, he didn't really predict the weather by divination, but by observing the environment, he got some supernatural statements and pretended that he had the ability to predict the future.

Want to do this, need to have strong observation and analysis ability. At that time, Yuan Tiangang was obviously young. He didn't observe the environment carefully and made a big fool of himself in front of the old farmer. In addition, you should read people's minds. These people who are proficient in divination basically understand psychology. Only those who are good at guessing people's hearts can count people with divination. These abilities need to be constantly exercised in life, but Yuan Tiangang was a lot worse at that time, otherwise he would not have lost so badly.
