has been glorious for five thousand years. is the best description of China's long history. It is like a seed sown in ancient times. It has taken root and sprouted, grown latently, and has gone through five thousand years of wind and frost. Rain, snow and time have irrigated it and it has grown into a towering tree, and the passage of time has accumulated countless treasures for it.
These treasures are like the branches and vines of this historical tree, which have been entwined for thousands of years. Even today, we can still see the new buds stretching out, but the intricate links under the traces of history are still invisible to us. These are the ancient Chinese cultures that have been cultivated for thousands of years.
Some classic cultures are like newly sprouted buds, which are still given new meanings to this day. For example, our traditional virtues have been given the latest meanings of the times in recent years, but some cultures have been given new meanings for thousands of years. Over the years, it has become very niche.
is like some unique folk arts and crafts and manufacturing arts. These have basically become secrets that belong to a region or a family. After many years of evolution, more and more people know about this rare technology. Among them, the most mysterious one should be our country’s profound Feng Shui literature.
Even in this era of very advanced technology, Feng Shui still exists in every aspect of life. For example, our weddings, funerals, and housewarmings are all related to good times and auspicious days. This is the most important part of Feng Shui culture. Basically, in ancient times, Feng Shui masters were often a mysterious and popular industry.
Of course, there is only one person who has reached the pinnacle of Qimen arts. The death of the "monster of the generation" Yuan Tiangang . What kind of person was Yuan Tiangang in history?
The rise of Feng Shui
In fact, the earliest ancient people still believed in Feng Shui, because in ancient times, both people's thoughts and the social status of the time were very backward, so some natural phenomena that were difficult to explain , are all a kind of very fearful and fearful psychology, which are attributed to the strange power and chaos of .
Based on this phenomenon, some fortune tellers known as "divine fortune tellers" appeared. They will tell you straightforwardly that these strange phenomena you encounter are actually caused by ghosts and gods, and we are all good at pinching and calculating. , can communicate with ghosts and gods, can predict the past and the future, believe me, I can help you eliminate disasters and solve problems.
In fact, in the early days, the development process of fortune tellers was not very smooth. Although among the first group of people, there were some who were really capable, but because the social environment at that time was not very stable, they were busy all day long. The people who are in dire straits simply have no extra time and energy for them.
In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Feng Shui industry once again rose, especially in the Tang Dynasty . Due to the emperor Li Shimin 's emphasis on Feng Shui, the group of fortune tellers could reach its peak. Of course, in terms of quantity, As the number increases, the quality will decline. A considerable number of those who claim to be fortune tellers are charlatans.
took advantage of people's obsession at that time to defraud money by talking nonsense. Of course, there are also really powerful ones, Yuan Tiangang is one of them.
The powerful genes passed down from the Yuan family
Yuan Tiangang's powerful calculation skills are not acquired. A considerable part of them are inherited from the family. Yuan Tiangang has been studying physiognomy since he was very young, and followed his uncle to wander around. Sifang also learned a lot. His uncle is also a celebrity. His name is " Yuan Shoucheng ", and he is also a ridiculously accurate fortune teller.
Maybe you don’t have much impression of this person. In fact, this person is the person who accurately calculated the weather in Journey to the West and caused Jinghe Dragon King to be beheaded. The adaptation in the play is quite strong. It is mentioned briefly through memories. In fact, The original work clearly mentions that he is Yuan Tiangang's uncle, and the story of slaying the dragon in the dream happened before the Buddhist scriptures were obtained from the West.
At that time, Yuan Shoucheng seemed to be sitting outside Chang'an City, telling fortunes. In fact, he was waiting for the Dragon King of Jinghe River, waiting to trigger the plot of seeking Buddhist scriptures from the West. Therefore, many people believed that this Yuan Shoucheng was actually a ray of divine thought from the Jade Emperor. Therefore, everything was within his expectations. The Jinghe Dragon King's violation of the rules of heaven and even the subsequent slaying of the dragon in his dream were all expected.
It was the gambling fight between the Jinghe Dragon King and Yuan Shoucheng that led to the subsequent Dragon King seeking mercy from Li Shimin, which triggered Wei Zheng killed the Dragon King in his dream, and then Li Shimin traveled to the underworld and was rescued by a monk. The respect for the monks and the repayment of vows led to the later journey to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures. Therefore, Yuan Shoucheng's accurate calculation was a very important link at that time.
Yuan Tiangang's talent is beginning to show.
As the saying goes, is a tiger in the door. Yuan Tiangang's calculation ability can be said to be even better than that of his uncle. As early as in Chengdu, Yuan Tiangang's superb technology has been reflected. When he came out, before going to Beijing, he had dinner with four of his friends. Because these four people were all from noble families, they were destined to be officials.
So Yuan Tiangang decided to help them look at their future official career. Unlike his uncle, Yuan Shoucheng mainly used hexagrams, while Yuan Tiangang used their faces. After observing the faces of the four people, he bluntly said four things. A person's future destiny, including who will meet which noble person and when, and what official he will become, is very accurate.
Of course, Yuan Tiangang didn't just pick the good ones. He also told these four people that although you all have good official fortunes, a big event will happen in twenty years, and you will all suffer because of this. And if you suffer a huge setback, if you get through it safely, you will have smooth sailing in the future. If you cannot get through it, you will die.
As expected, the four of them all became secret guests in the prince's palace. Just twenty years later, a major event happened in the court, which was the Yang Wenqian incident. The prince Li Jiancheng actually rebelled and seized power, and was finally directly suppressed by Li Shimin. After that, the four of them were all dismissed from office and exiled as guests of the crown prince. At that time, the four of them thought of what Yuan Tiangang had said before and quickly went back to find a solution.
Yuan Tiangang looked at the faces of the four people again and said that the disaster for the four people had passed. Now they just need to wait for the opportunity to come. Don't worry, it won't be too long. Sure enough, after Li Shimin ascended to the throne, the four of them will People were recalled to the court to serve as officials, just as Yuan Tiangang said, the time comes.
Soon, Yuan Tiangang's superb abilities were heard by the then emperor Li Shimin, who quickly summoned him to Beijing. Then on the way to Beijing, Yuan Tiangang once again demonstrated his superb abilities. The warrior Yun invited him to his home for fortune telling. When Yuan Tiangang saw Mrs. Wu for the first time, he saw that she had an extraordinary appearance and said that there must be a noble person in the family.
Samurai Xun was very happy after hearing this. He quickly called out all his children and asked Yuan Tiangang to look at their faces one by one. Yuan Tiangang was naturally very considerate. After looking at them one by one, he ranked all his daughters and sons-in-law. I have counted them all, but my eyes are still searching, and it is obvious that the one I am looking forward to has not appeared yet.
Then a wet nurse brought out a baby. When Yuan Tiangang went out and saw it, he was overjoyed and revealed the secret directly, saying that the second son was going to be rich and powerful. Then Yuan Tiangang said a shocking sentence, If she is a woman, she can become the master of the world in the future. The Wu family was shocked at that time because they knew it was a girl.
So I was very shocked by a person like Yuan Tiangang who was outspoken, because after all, this was the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, and saying such things was tantamount to rebellion. However, I had heard about Yuan Tiangang’s calculations in his early years, so I treated him with a dubious attitude. Looking at this matter with a certain attitude, what is unexpected is that this baby is the later generation of empress Wu Zetian,
So people who heard about this incident later called Yuan Tiangang a monster of a generation. Of course, his monster , also reflected after entering the imperial court.
The essence of a demon
Wait until Yuan Tiangang enters the court. Li Shimin was also very curious about this person. He had mostly heard about his divine calculations before and had never seen it with his own eyes, so he thought of a very tricky question to embarrass him. One day, Li Shimin directly called Yuan Tiangang to him and asked him. In one sentence, when did and of the Tang Dynasty perish?
I have to say that this question is a bit difficult even for Yuan Tiangang, who is very clever. With his clever calculation, it is relatively easy to know the answer to this question, but how to answer it is a difficult problem. After all, the person sitting opposite is the emperor. What if? If you cause others displeasure, you may end up dead at any time.
After Yuan Tiangang made some calculations and struggled for a long time, he directly told Li Shimin: " When a pig climbs a tree, " Li Shimin can be said to be very satisfied with this answer, because in his opinion, pigs climb a tree. It is impossible, so the Tang Dynasty is eternal, but in fact, what Yuan Tiangang said also has another meaning.
Hundreds of years later, the Tang Dynasty, which had been prosperous in the past, finally came to an end. At that time, King Liang Zhu Wen rebelled against his superiors, took control of the government, massacred the royal family of Li and Tang, and even committed regicide and family extermination. In the end, the Tang Dynasty He was still destroyed by Zhu Wen, so is Yuan Tiangang's prediction wrong? Not really.
The tree Yuan Tiangang mentioned at that time actually meant Li in ancient proverbs, and the so-called pig climbing the tree meant that Zhu Wen's Zhu Yi family would replace the Li and Tang royal family. Obviously, Li Shimin did not use this obscure method. Understand, the calculation is still extremely accurate, and there is a reason why it is called a demon.
ending
In fact, Yuan Tiangang is not only good at calculating others, but he is also very good at predicting his own destiny. In fact, people who are good at Feng Shui are very self-aware of their own destiny. Yuan Tiangang has known his life expectancy for a long time. He didn't have much money left, so when others asked him what kind of official he would be, he said frankly when he would die.
In the end, Yuan Tiangang, a generation of demons, even fell according to his own prophecy.
