The mausoleum is well known, and no one dares to steal it for thousands of years. How old is Yuan Tiangang?
China's geomantic physiognomy has always been regarded as a mysterious existence, because it can see through the future and fate, but the principle is very obscure. So far, the study of Feng Shui has always been an unusual topic. Of course, when it comes to Feng Shui, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang are the two people who can't help but say that. Their research on geomantic omen is unprecedented, and no one has come since.
The two men not only left a subtle and incomprehensible scholarship for later generations, but also left a "TuiBei Map" that shocked the Millennium. It is really a miracle! For the relationship and identity of the two people, later generations also left a lot of speculation, but after a thousand years, these textual researches are still very difficult. But what is even more surprising is that after a thousand years, Yuan Tiangang's tomb has not been visited by grave robbers. Why?
The origin becomes a mystery
According to historical records, Yuan Tiangang was born in Chengdu, Yizhou in 573, 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 metaphysical books. Yuan Tiangang is the brain trust of Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin, and he is also a Buddhist. Yuan Tiangang's deduction skills are also amazing, so his background is also covered with a thick mystery.
It is said that Yuan Tiangang is a descendant of Emperor Wen of Sui, Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty. Because Emperor Wendi was very henpecked, there was only one Queen Dugu in the palace, so he had to have a private tryst with the ladies-in-waiting. One of the ladies-in-waiting was pregnant with a child, so Queen Dugu went to her mother to keep a child and sent the child to Yuan's house for raising. Yuan Shoucheng, the uncle of Yuan Tiangang, is also a famous astrologer in the ninth time of The Journey to the West's "Yuan Shoucheng's ingenious selfless song, and the old dragon king's clumsy plan breaks the dogma".
Another way of saying this is that it has some fantastic colors. It is rumored that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng 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 deduction skills were comparable and they were not mortal. This second statement is naturally even less credible, but it can also be seen that the people admire and admire them.
the skill of observing the physiognomy
The magic of Yuan Tiangang's deduction even gained the attention and trust of many important officials in the imperial court at that time. During the war at the end of Sui Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang gave divination to many important officials around Tang Gaozu and Emperor Taizong, including Dou Gui, Fang Xuanling and Du Yan. Yuan Tiangang once told Dou Gui that if he went to Yizhou or Liangzhou, he would make great achievements, and Dou Gui followed the instructions, and sure enough, he became a capable general around Tang Gaozu. Dou Gui was grateful for Yuan Tiangang's advice, so he recommended Yuan Tiangang to the ambassador of Shu Dao at that time.
After Yuan Tiangang became the magistrate of Huojing County in Shudao County, it happened that Wu Zetian's father went to work in Shuzhong. After hearing about Yuan Tiangang's skills, he invited him to his home. Yuan Tiangang's first sentence when he met Wu Zetian's mother, Yang, was: "You must have a precious son." After hearing this, Yang called Wu Zetian's two brothers, and Yuan Tiangang asserted that the official worship was a cinch. Then Wu Zetian's sister, the Korean lady, was called, and Yuan Tiangang also said, "This woman is expensive, but she is a husband."
Sure enough, the future Korean wife's husband died young, and she and her daughter both committed themselves to Tang Gaozong Li Zhi as their wives. Finally, Yang asked the maid to take out Wu Zetian who was just born and dressed 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." Yang's and Wu Zetian's father were also greatly surprised after hearing this, and Yuan Tiangang's predictions for the Wu family were indeed all realized in the future.
the art of touching acupoints
Shortly after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, Yuan Tiangang was summoned by Li Shimin because of his reputation abroad, and Li Shimin made him a national teacher, which can be described as infinite scenery. At that time, it was also circulated in the palace that there would be a man named Wu to replace Li Jiashan. At that time, Yuan Tiangang and Wu Zetian were in the palace, but because one was in the harem and the other was in the power, they did not meet, and Wu Zetian was regarded as a baby boy when visiting fortune-teller, so Yuan Tiangang and Li Shimin were not suspicious of the harem. On the contrary, many ministers named Wu were killed by Li Shimin just in case.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to guard against domestic thieves. Li Shimin never imagined that it was Wu Cairen around him who finally took over the country. By the time we meet again, Wu Zetian has reached middle age. Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are not only very good at observing the physiognomy, but also superb in the art of acupuncture. Wu Zetian ordered them to find a suitable grave location for themselves. Li Chunfeng was holding a copper coin, while Yuan Tiangang was holding a small arrow, and they set off at the same time.
Li Chunfeng first found a treasure trove of geomantic omen in Yuan Tiangang, and buried the copper coins there, followed by Yuan Tiangang, who inserted the arrow into it. After the two candidates were selected, Wu Zetian ordered someone to open the marked place, only to find that the arrow was just inserted into the small hole of the copper coins impartially. 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 stolen by no one in later generations, and it 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 Chunfeng both began to look for a good place for the land behind them. This time, they both visited a piece of land in Chang 'an County at the same time. But this time Yuan Tiangang may be faster than Li Chunfeng, and has already taken the best position first. Li Chunfeng had to rebuild his tomb a few hundred meters away from Yuan Tiangang's tomb, while Li Chunfeng asserted that his tomb was peaceful for a hundred years.
Sure enough, in the late Tang Dynasty, due to the war, the tombs in Li Chunfeng were visited by grave robbers, while the tombs in Yuan Tiangang not far away were just classified as military forbidden areas. Because it is a military restricted area, grave robbers naturally have no guts, so Yuan Tiangang's tomb has been peaceful. After the Song Dynasty, this land was always a military forbidden area, so Yuan Tiangang's tomb was preserved until after the founding of the People's Republic of China. After the founding of New China, Yuan Tiangang's tomb has been very peaceful because of 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.
As for the mystery of Feng Shui, we can only hold the idea that if you believe it, there will be nothing if you don't believe it. After all, the world is so big, and our scientific and technological civilization is not developed enough, which can't explain many things. 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 there are still many magical things that we humans can't answer where science and technology have not yet reached.
