Li Shimin asked Yuan Tiangang to cut off 90 dragon veins. Why did he cut off two less?
Every time Yuan Tiangang is mentioned, people will have a very mysterious feeling. After all, there are many topics related to Yuan Tiangang, which can be said to be very elusive. So people will have this impression of him. It is said that when Li Shimin sent Yuan Tiangang to cut off the dragon veins, he ordered him to cut off 90 dragon veins. However, Yuan Tiangang only cut off 88 dragon veins in the end, leaving two dragon veins uncut. Why is this? These two dragon veins were not cut off. What's so special about a dragon vein? 1. Why did Li Shimin kill the dragon vein?
Li Shimin seized the throne through dishonorable means. When he was in charge of the world, he was afraid that he would repeat the same fate as others. Therefore, He sent Yuan Tiangang to test the "King Qi". Yuan Tiangang found 90 dragon veins. Li Shimin asked Yuan Tiangang to cut off all the dragon veins. He only cut 88 places, leaving 2 places each with an emperor. Why didn't Yuan Tiangang cut them off? What about cutting off all dragon veins?
"Feng Shui" is one of the "mysterious arts" handed down by the Chinese nation. From a scientific point of view, it is the formation of certain characteristics through the power of nature, magnetic field energy, etc. , judge the bad luck through these characteristics. But in ancient times when science was underdeveloped, "Feng Shui" became a knowledge that people paid more attention to.
Especially when building palaces, houses, and even cemeteries, the court must adopt certain methods and principles to select the site, which has become a "metaphysics" for choosing the best location. The most famous metaphysician in history is Yuan Tiangang of the Tang Dynasty, and the various "deeds" that happened to him further prove that he is an expert in "metaphysics".
"Metaphysics" has a wide range of contents. In addition to Feng Shui, physiognomy is also one of them. Although Yuan Tiangang was born into a poor family, he loved reading since childhood and was good at studying "Physiognomy". When he first arrived in Luoyang, he had already shown his talents. At that time, several people came to Yuan Tiangang for a fortune teller at the same time, and they were all impressed by Yuan Tiangang's words one by one, and they became famous.
There is also talk about Wu Zetian’s physiognomy when she was young. It is said that at that time, Wu Zetian's father asked Yuan Tiangang to see his family's fortune. Yuan Tiangang pointed to Wu Zetian's two brothers and said, "Officials of the third rank can protect the head of the family." The third-rank officials were already important ministers of the court, and the family was naturally overjoyed. .
At that time, Wu Zetian was still in her infancy, and her family lied that she was a boy. Yuan Tiangang marveled at her appearance and predicted: "If she is a woman, she will be the emperor in the future." "New Tang Dynasty" "Book" records: Empress Wu was the youngest, and she held her in her arms as a boy. Tiangang looked at her steps and eyes, and exclaimed: "Dragon eyes and phoenix neck are extremely valuable. If she is a woman, she will be regarded as the emperor."
We all know that Wu Zetian actually became emperor later and changed the name of the country to "Zhou". This shows that she is extremely proficient in "metaphysics". Such a famous talent would naturally attract Li Shimin's attention, so he was summoned to the palace to calculate the "Feng Shui" fortune of the Tang Dynasty.
After Yuan Tiangang's calculation, 90 dragon veins were calculated in one day. Li Shimin naturally could not tolerate the appearance of the emperor in other places. Therefore, all unsafe factors that affected the power of the Tang Dynasty were eliminated. Get rid of it with all your strength. 2. Why did Yuan Tiangang leave two dragon veins?
One of the most famous dragon veins is "Panlong Mountain", and there are obvious traces of digging at its "dragon neck". This was one of the dragon veins deduced by Yuan Tiangang back then. Li Shimin ordered people to cut off the "dragon neck" so that no more emperor could be born here. But Yuan Tiangang left two dragon veins uncut, one in Taiyuan, Shanxi, and one in Dangshan, Anhui.
In Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, Yuan Tiangang did not cut off the dragon vein of the Tang Dynasty on the grounds that it was too close to the dragon vein. After the death of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian became the emperor. Some friends may think that this dragon vein has nothing to do with Wu Zetian, but Wu Zetian's mother, Yang, is a relative of the Sui Dynasty royal family, and her ancestral home is Taiyuan, Shanxi.
Dangshan in Anhui is the birthplace of Zhu Wen, Taizu of the Liang Dynasty. It was in his hands that the Tang Dynasty perished and the Later Liang Dynasty was established. It can be seen that Yuan Tiangang's calculation is extremely accurate.
The main reason why Yuan Tiangang left these two dragon veins was to cut off the dragon veins and change the natural destiny. He would also suffer "God's punishment". As the saying goes, the secret of heaven cannot be leaked. Once leaked, it will cause "The sky is angry and people are complaining" and their life span will be shortened. Therefore, Yuan Tiangang left behind two dragon veins, and the trajectory of history is still rolling forward.
Let’s leak again” and stopped calculating.
Although it is just a legend, some historical events have amazing coincidences, which has left Yuan Tiangang with an extremely "special" status and impression in the hearts of future generations. And the mystery of "metaphysics" has always been an unsolved mystery for modern people. 3. The story of Yuan Tiangang
The clan of the Sui Dynasty
According to legend, Yuan Tiangang was the son of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, and was born in the beginning of the third year of the founding of the Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty (583). Because Queen Dugu killed her mother, she was raised by the Yuan family.
Son of a Fairy
Folk legend says that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are brothers. One says they have the same mother and half father, the other says they are twins born from the same mother, raised by the Yuan and Li families, and both were born to the fairies in the painting.
Broken Horses Entering the River
Legend has it that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were traveling with Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and saw two horses with red hair and black hair in the river. Taizong asked them to calculate which horse would enter the river first. Yuan Tiangang figured out the Li hexagram and Li was fire, so he concluded that the horse with red hair like fire entered the water first. Li Chunfeng believed that when making fire in Suimu, black smoke should be seen before the fire, and the black-haired horse should enter the river first. In the end, Li Chunfeng guessed correctly. But he humbly said that if he were not Yuan Tiangang, he would not be able to deduce the mysterious relationship between smoke and fire.
Tuibei Tu
In the 17th year of Zhenguan, "Tuibei Tu" was written and published by Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang. Li Chunfeng used the Zhouyi Bagua to make calculations. Unexpectedly, he became addicted to calculations and got out of control. He actually calculated the fate of China for more than 2,000 years after the Tang Dynasty. Until Yuan Tiangang pushed him on the back and said: "The secrets of heaven can't be leaked anymore. It's better to go back." Rest", hence the name of this prophetic book "Tui Bei Tu".
