Liu Bowen, known as "one of the fortuneteller", why did he have to take a bite of baked wheat cake before he died?

The reason why Liu Bowen took a bite of sesame seed cake before he died was to prove that his prediction was accurate, and to prove to the whole world that his foresight was true.

There are three figures in the history of China who are known as fortuneteller, all of whom are famous names. One is Zhuge Liang, the strategist of Shu and Han Dynasties, the other is Yuan Tiangang, and the other is Liu Bowen, the hero today. All three of them are extremely good at observing Feng Shui, which can be described as knowing astronomy above and geography below. They also have a * * * similarity, that is, they feel that what is happening in this era can't reflect their talents, and they start to write books that predict the future. Each of the three books written by these three demigods perfectly predicts what will happen later. 1. Liu Bowen and Zhu Yuanzhang

Liu Bowen were Zhu Yuanzhang's right-hand men, and Zhu Yuanzhang made great contributions when he unified the world. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang paid incomparable attention to him. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang accidentally asked how many years the Ming Dynasty could exist, and he was convinced of Liu Bowen's divination ability, so he invited Liu Bowen. Faced with such a problem, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask directly, but gave a subtle test. Zhu Yuanzhang took a bite of baked wheat cake, and then put it upside down in a bowl, so that Liu Bowen could guess what was inside. Liu Bowen explained with his eyes closed, half like a sun and half like a moon, and was bitten by a golden dragon. We all know the meaning of this sentence without explanation. After seeing Liu Bowen's real strength, Zhu Yuanzhang got down to business, but how long his country can exist is a very sensitive issue. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, it was because the emperor asked Yuan Tiangang how many years the Tang Dynasty could exist, and it didn't take long for the Tang Dynasty to die. Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen how many years there were in the Ming Dynasty. Even if Liu Bowen counted on his fingers, he really figured it out. Such a sensitive topic was not easy to say directly, so he gave Zhu Yuanzhang his "Pancake Song", hoping that he could understand it himself. Second, Liu Bowen's behavior before he died

It didn't take long for Liu Bowen to be critically ill, but before he died, he asked his family around him to get a baked wheat cake quickly, which made many people puzzled. I don't know why he had to eat baked wheat cake before he died. Liu Bowen was not a person who liked baked wheat cake very much at ordinary times. In fact, it was written in "Song of Baking" written by Liu Bowen that Zhu Yuanzhang would look for himself to predict the future national fortune, and before he died. Liu Bowen was just about to die when he took a bite of sesame seed cake to prove the credibility of his prediction. The song of pancake really predicted many stories during the 8-year period of the Ming Dynasty, and I have to say it is really accurate.

In fact, the prophecy is totally unfounded, which is not credible to us modern people. However, Zhuge Liang, Yuan Tiangang and Liu Bowen are called the three immortals of China, and many of their prophecies really match. Do they really have the ability to predict the future?
