The two men not only left a subtle and incomprehensible knowledge to future generations, but also left a "TuiBei Map" that shocked for thousands of years. It is really a god! There are many speculations about the relationship and identity of the two people, but after a thousand years, these textual researches are still very difficult. But what is even more surprising is that one thousand years later, Yuan Tiangang's tomb has not been visited by grave robbers. Why?
Become a mystery
According to historical records, Yuan Tiangang was born in 573 in Chengdu, Yizhou, which is now Chengdu, Sichuan. At the end of Sui Dynasty and the beginning of Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang liked reading books very much since he was a child, and he couldn't put down metaphysics books. Yuan Tiangang is the brain trust of Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin, and also a Buddhist. Yuan Tiangang's deductive skill is also amazing, so his background is also covered with a thick layer of mystery.
One theory is that Yuan Tiangang is a descendant of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. Because Wendi was afraid of his wife, there was only one lonely queen in the palace, and he could only have a private tryst with the ladies-in-waiting. One of the ladies-in-waiting was pregnant with a child, and the Queen Dugu went to her mother to ask for a child and gave it to the Yuan family for support. Yuan Shoucheng, Yuan Tiangang's uncle, is also a famous astrologer in The Journey to the West's ninth "Yuan Shoucheng's ingenious selfless song, the old dragon king's clumsy plan breaks the sky".
Another way of saying it is that it has some wonderful colors. It is rumored that Yuan Tiangang and Li are the children of a fairy, and they are two milk compatriots. After that, they were taken to Li Jiahe and Yuan Jia respectively, so their deductive skills are comparable, and they are not mortal. This second statement is naturally even less credible, but it can also be seen that the people admire and admire them.
The art of observing phase
Yuan Tiangang's magic even won the attention and trust of many court officials at that time. During the war at the end of Sui Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang divined many important officials around Tang Gaozu and Emperor Taizong, including Dou Gui, Fang and Du Yan. Yuan Tiangang once told Dou Gui that if he went to Yizhou or Liangzhou, he would make great achievements. Dou Gui listened to the instructions, and sure enough, he became a capable general around Tang Gaozu. Dou Gui was very grateful for Yuan Tiangang's advice, so he recommended Yuan Tiangang to the messengers of Shu Dao at that time.
It happened that Wu Zetian's father went to work in Zhongshu after Yuan Tiangang became the magistrate of Huojing County in Shu Road. When I heard about Yuan Tiangang's skill, I invited him to my home. The first sentence that Yuan Tiangang saw Wu Zetian's mother Yang was: "You must have a precious son." Upon hearing this, Yang called Wu Zetian's two brothers, and Yuan Tiangang asserted that official worship was a cinch. Then she called Wu Zetian's sister, Mrs. Han, and Yuan Tiangang also said, "Although this woman is expensive, she is a husband."
Sure enough, the future Korean wife's husband died young, and she and her daughter committed themselves to Li Zhi, Tang Gaozong, to become their wives. Finally, Yang asked Yahuan to take out the newly born Wu Zetian and dress up as a boy. Yuan Tiangang was shocked when he saw it. He said, "If this son is a woman, he can be an emperor in the future." After hearing this, Yang Guifei and Wu Zetian's father were also greatly surprised. Yuan Tiangang's predictions about the Takeshi family were indeed realized in the future.
The art of acupuncturing in "Kanyu"
Shortly after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, Yuan Tiangang was summoned by Li Shimin because of his reputation, and Li Shimin made him a Buddhist, which was a great spectacle. At that time, it was still circulating in the palace that a man named Wu would replace Li Jiashan. At that time, Yuan Tiangang and Wu Zetian were both in the palace, but because one was in the harem and the other was in power, they didn't meet, and Wu Zetian was regarded as a baby boy when visiting fortune-teller, so Yuan Tiangang and Li Shimin didn't doubt the harem. On the contrary, many ministers named Wu were killed just in case.
As the saying goes, domestic thieves are hard to prevent. Li Shimin never imagined that it was Wu Cairen around him who finally seized the country. When we meet again, Wu Zetian has reached middle age. Yuan Tiangang and Li are not only good at reading people's minds, but also good at needling. Wu Zetian ordered them to find a suitable grave for themselves. Li had a copper coin in his hand and Yuan Tiangang had a small arrow in his hand. They set off at the same time.
Li Xian found a treasure trove of geomantic omen in Yuan Tiangang, buried the copper coins there, followed Yuan Tiangang, and inserted the arrow. After the two candidates were selected, Wu Zetian ordered someone to open the marked place, but saw that the arrow was just inserted in the small hole of copper coins. Wu Zetian was very happy after hearing this and began to build a mausoleum on that treasure land. The Ganling, where Wu Zetian was buried, was indeed excavated by later generations and was called "the ninth wonder of the world" by archaeologists.
Keep yourself safe for a long time.
In their later years, Yuan Tiangang and Li began to look for good places for the land behind them. This time, they also saw a piece of land in Chang 'an County. But this time Yuan Tiangang may be faster than Li, and has already occupied the best position first. Li had to rebuild his tomb a few hundred meters away from Yuan Tiangang's tomb, while Li insisted that his tomb was peaceful for a hundred years.
Sure enough, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, because of the war, Li's tomb was robbed by grave robbers, and Yuan Tiangang's tomb not far away was just included in the military restricted zone. Because it is a military restricted area, grave robbers naturally have no guts, so Yuan Tiangang's tomb has been very peaceful. Since the Song Dynasty, this land has been a military restricted area, so Yuan Tiangang's tomb has been preserved until after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Since the founding of New China, Yuan Tiangang's tomb has been peaceful due to the importance and protection of cultural relics. However, due to water seepage, the tomb was damaged and repaired in time. Yuan Tiangang proved to be the best solution.
For the mystery of geomantic omen, we can only hold the idea that there is nothing if we believe, and there is nothing if we don't believe. After all, the world is so big and our scientific and technological civilization is not developed enough, so many things can't be explained. Moreover, the time interval is long and the investigation is too difficult. I can only admire his rumored SJ, but it is really rare that no one dares to steal his mausoleum for thousands of years. Today, with the rapid development of science and technology, many people don't believe in metaphysics, but I believe that there are still many magical things that we humans can't answer where science and technology have not yet reached.
