Origin: Yuan Tiangang's road to fame.
In the ancient city of Chang'an, Yuan Tiangang, a mysterious young man, became famous through a divination experience.
He met three ordinary people in a humble inn: Du Yan, Wang Si, and Zhang Ting. By observing their birthdays, Yuan Tiangang made an astonishing prediction - Du Yan will definitely be ranked in the middle of the court, Wang Siguan will be the fifth grade, and Zhang Ting will eventually become a prestigious general.
The trio scoffed at this at first, half-convinced. However, the fate of the next few people turned out to be as Yuan Tiangang said, rising step by step and becoming famous. This legendary experience made Yuan Tiangang, a mysterious young man, famous in one fell swoop, and his seemingly absurd prophecies came true one by one, and the name of "Yuan Tiangang" became a household name in Chang'an City.
This incident quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet, and everyone was amazed by Yuan Tiangang's superb fortune-telling skills. "To be so accurate about the future of others is simply to know the heavens!"Presumably, this person must have something extraordinary, otherwise how can he know the direction of fate?"Netizens talked a lot and admired Yuan Tiangang. Some netizens also questioned: "This seems to be a little different, is it arranged in advance?."However, with the gradual development of the official fortunes of the three people, Yuan Tiangang's reputation has become more and more far-reaching.
Encounter: Yuan Tiangang and Tang Taizong.
When Li Shimin summoned Yuan Tiangang to the palace, the national teacher walked into the splendid hall and felt a strong aura of authority. Li Shimin asked about the future fate of the Tang Dynasty with anticipation, while Yuan Tiangang humbly said that it was difficult to know by simple divination. Li Shimin appreciated his prudence and appointed him as a national teacher.
Since then, Yuan Tiangang has become a confidant of Li Shimin, and his advice has also deeply influenced the history of the Tang Dynasty. With his assistance, Li Shimin governed the country more wisely and led the Tang Dynasty into a new era.
The matter has also sparked heated discussions online. Many netizens congratulated Yuan Tiangang on entering the palace: "It is well deserved, and people who are like gods have finally received the attention they deserve!.""Such a wise and martial monarch, and with the assistance of such a virtuous man, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is just around the corner!."However, some netizens raised concerns: "The position of power leaning towards the government and the opposition makes people inevitably worry about abuse of power." "The position of national teacher is too mysterious, and it is inevitable to arouse suspicion. "All kinds of voices are intertwined, as if to foreshadow the future changes.
Prophecy: "Push Back Picture" and "Pig on the Tree".
During the period when Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng collaborated on the Tui Bei Tu, they conducted in-depth research on astronomy and geography in an attempt to reveal the fate of the Tang Dynasty. This work is profound in content and rich in historical philosophy. When Li Shimin asked about the whereabouts of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang said the puzzling prophecy of "pigs on the tree". Although Li Shimin couldn't understand the meaning for a while, he did not question the accuracy of the national teacher, because Yuan Tiangang's prediction had never been wrong.
This prophecy has also become a hot topic of discussion among history buffs. "'Pig on the tree' definitely contains some kind of deep meaning!Many netizens put forward their own interpretations, but they were all obviously far-fetched: "Will this be a harbinger of agricultural development?""Maybe it hints at some kind of major change in the animal world?There was no consensus that there was no rational explanation for this enigmatic prophecy. Some rational netizens also pointed out: "Since the national teacher is unwilling to elaborate, we have no way of knowing the mystery." Perhaps this is an inevitable ambiguity of history. ”
Misinterpretation.
When Li Shimin discussed this prophecy with his advisers, one of them believed that "pigs on trees" meant that the Tang Dynasty would continue to live forever. Li Shimin was also deeply satisfied with this explanation. Despite this, Yuan Tiangang's prophecy is still like a boulder, hanging in everyone's hearts and unable to disperse for a long time.
In the following hundred years, the Tang Dynasty experienced an unprecedented heyday, which seems to validate the "never perish" explanation. Until the Zhaozong Dynasty, a little-known figure rose - Zhu Wen usurped power and seized the throne, and finally captured Chang'an, the treasure of the town. Immediately, the true meaning of "pig on the tree" was also revealed: "pig" actually means "Zhu"!Zhu Wen did what would have been impossible, foreshadowing the fall of the Tang Dynasty.
Many netizens expressed shock at this ending: "It turns out that 'pig' refers to 'Zhu', this twist is too unexpected!.""It seems that we have all misinterpreted this prophecy, and the vision of the national teacher is really unique!."Everyone once again expressed their admiration for Yuan Tiangang's profound foresight and far-sighted historical vision. Some netizens also put forward new opinions: "Since he foresaw the fall of the Tang Dynasty, why didn't he intervene and warn Li Shimin?""This seems to be a mystery that will never be solved in the long river of history.
Epilogue. Yuan Tiangang, a mysterious prophet, has brought many historical revelations to future generations. His choice of cryptic language to express foresight shows not only humility and reverence for the heavenly opportunity, but also a deep understanding of the laws of history, and the understanding that no force can change this trend.
Perhaps, as many netizens pointed out: "His choice not to interfere in the historical process must contain some kind of deeper historical philosophical thinking." "We don't know why, but maybe it's because of this unknown that history is fascinatingIt is precisely because of these puzzles that people are constantly reflecting on history and thinking about life.
Why do you think Yuan Tiangang chose obscure language to express his foresight of the fate of the Tang Dynasty?What kind of historical thinking is behind this?I'd love to hear what you think.
