In ancient China, physiognomy and fate have always been accompanied, and fate is often like a fog, difficult to explore. However, someone seems to have insight into one or two, and he is Yuan Tiangang, a master of physiognomy. Legend has it that he has a transcendent sixth sense and can predict the fate of a person. While he was eating at a small restaurant, a widow caught his eye.
He stared at it for a moment and exclaimed, "You will eventually become a lady of Yipin." These words aroused the confusion and ridicule of the people around him. Because in that era, it was completely impossible for a widow to become a noble lady. However, Tiangang's tone was full of firm conviction, as if he had already seen through the widow's future.
What was originally a peaceful and monotonous life has changed dramatically in a silent night. That night, as the widow was about to go to bed, a staggering man appeared in front of her house. He was a young lecturer named Ma Zhou, who was drunk and hazy at this time, got lost on the street, and finally came to this house. The widow was at first a little frightened, but soon realized that the man had no ill intentions, but was lost and looking for a place to rest.
So, she did not hesitate to welcome Ma Zhou into her home. Despite the disparity in status, the kind-hearted widow did not drive a lost drunk out of the door, but chose compassion and tolerance. This night, Ma Zhou got a good life in this family and regained his sense of direction.
When he left early the next morning, Ma Zhou thanked the widow from the bottom of his heart. A chance encounter, a night of kindness, made him see the beautiful side of human nature, and also made him determined to repay this kind hostess.
From the perspective of time, although the timing of this imminent encounter was unexpected, it was not without warning. Ma Zhouyuan studied in a neighboring village academy, but he was not allowed to display his talents, so he could only live as a local lecturer. On this day, he recklessly drank with a few new bibliophiles, and then staggered to a strange place.
This was also the turning point of his fate. If the widow had been separated for a little and had not taken in the exiled and depressed him, then even if he had spent the night in front of her door, Ma Zhou would still be an idle person who taught in a private school at most in his life. However, the kindness of the other party's thought made Ma Zhou and the widow support each other to climb to a higher peak of life in the following decades.
Since that night, Ma Zhou has never forgotten the widow who gave him great favor. He often came to visit, express his gratitude, or send some gifts. The two gradually developed a good impression after a long time of love, and finally entered the palace of marriage.
Judging from the interaction between the two and their mental journey, Ma Zhou is a man of temperament and will not plot because of a temporary benefit. Whenever he came to visit the widow, he couldn't help but think of the warmth of that night. He would rather be a real teacher than guide the children of this good family to read and write.
Fortunately, the widow was born in a family of scholars, left a lot of books, and inherited the cultural accomplishment and accumulation accumulated by her father, and also admired Ma Zhou's knowledgeable talent, which made Ma Zhou very useful and increased the intimacy between the two. His sincerity also made the widow feel the happiness and warmth that she had not seen for a long time, and truly accepted Ma Zhou from the bottom of her heart. After the two got married, they shared joys and sorrows for several years, so that Ma Zhou finally had the opportunity to pass the scientific examination and become an official.
Ma Zhou, who was originally unremarkable, has also made great progress in his career under the encouragement of this marriage. He successively won the top prize in the imperial examination, and then served in Hanlin, and finally became the prime minister, becoming a big man in the power of the government and the opposition.
And the widow also soared with her husband's success, not only remarrying a prominent husband, but also becoming a first-class lady, who can be called a heroine among women. Her once lonely life has been vigorously drawn a glorious chapter since that night of chance encounter.
When the news of the widow and Ma Zhou's marriage spread, everyone was impressed by Yuan Tiangang's prediction, and there was no longer any doubt or ridicule. He really saw the turning point of the widow's fate, and saw through the infinite possibilities after her encounter with Ma Zhou.
In fact, the reason why Tiangang was able to foresee all this so accurately was not only because of his skills and experience. In his view, a person's destiny path is not completely unchangeable, a chance chance, a good deed or a choice of courage can become an opportunity for a turning point in fate. He believes that with kindness and perseverance, anyone can rewrite the trajectory of their destiny.
Behind such a miraculous prophecy is Tiangang's own extraordinary life experience and wisdom. Back then, Tiangang's young man's family was in the middle of the road, and there was no way out. If it weren't for the fact that he coincidentally worshiped a reclusive gentleman in the mountains and forests as a teacher, I am afraid that he would be just a poor scholar in this life.
Under the careful guidance of physiognomy, Tiangang gradually appreciated the mystery and mystery contained in physiognomy, and realized that facial features are often the external reflection of inner thoughts, personalities and realms when looking at people's faces. The subtle influence of life experience and external environment will leave a deep imprint on a person's appearance. By pondering these marks, we will be able to judge the direction of a person's fate more accurately.
Yuan Tiangang's prophecy shows the incredulity of fate, and it also makes people more convinced of the thesis that good will be rewarded. An act of kindness changed the fate of two people; A prophecy that foreshadows a miracle. Perhaps, the fate of each of us also contains infinite possibilities, which are worthy of our brave exploration.
As Lao Tzu said: "Where the heart desires, the past is endless." "Perhaps, as long as we have good thoughts and courage and continue to work hard and steadfastly, fate will open a new door for us at a certain turning point.
Tiangang's ability to see the signs of fate through his face reveals that our external environment and experiences can affect a person's character, ambition and even destiny. And the good thoughts in a person's heart can also change all this. Just like the first chance encounter between this widow and Ma Zhou, it achieved their future marriage and career.
Life is impermanent, and so is fate. If we can have good thoughts and maintain courage, why should we be afraid of the winds and waves of fate? In the face of the unbeatable flow of fate, only by continuing good deeds and accumulating virtue can we make the boat of destiny available to us.
