Tuibei 60 detailed explanation Tuibeitu 20th image Guiwei

Curiosity about the future has always existed in every era. After all, if you can predict the future, you would be like a god. Since ancient times, there have been many works predicting the future. The Tuibei Tu we are going to talk about today is the most accurate book of prophecy. So, according to physiognomy, what period of history does the 19th image of Tuibei Tu, Renwu, predict? Let’s take a look together!

【Prophecy】

The sun and the moon are blind

Don't be with the emperor in Beijing

【Song said】

Father and son share the same heart and the same path, the sun and the moon in the sky

Strange clouds passed over the North Sea, and the Phoenix Palace and Dragon Court were filled with sorrow.

1. Explain the prophecy

[No light in the morning, the sun and the moon are blind]

After Sima Guang's death, the government was at a loss and the government fell into chaos again.

"Guang" refers to Sima Guang; "Ri" refers to Emperor Zhezong of Song; "Moon" refers to Empress Dowager Gao.

"The sun and the moon are blind": It refers to the fact that the person who "rules the throne" is at a loss, and also refers to the fact that the whole world of the Song Dynasty is dark and gloomy.

In 1085, Emperor Shenzong of Song died and the 10-year-old Emperor Zhezong ascended the throne. His grandmother, Empress Dowager Gao, ruled the country from behind the scenes and appointed Sima Guang[1] as prime minister. Ten months later, Sima Guang passed away, and the government was once again in chaos due to treacherous officials. The above two sentences are the background of the main event of this image.

【Don't be with the emperor in the end】

"Jing" refers to the protagonist of this image - the treacherous Cai Jing.

"Panghuang" also means hesitating and wandering, not knowing where to go.

During the reign of Emperor Huizong, these two sentences referred to Cai Jing, who should not have been employed but was re-employed by Emperor Huizong, causing power to fall into the hands of Cai. Huizong was licentious and incompetent, and had no direction in governing the country, which quickly went into decline. Cai Jing was appointed prime minister five times during the reign of Emperor Huizong. He held great power in the court and was the main culprit for the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty.

2. Explanation of the Song

【Father and son are of the same mind and on the same path】: refers to Cai Jing and his son Cai You who sought favor from Emperor Huizong and brought chaos to the government.

Cai You (voice actor), the eldest son of Cai Jing, relied on Cai Jing's power and his own unique way of flattery to climb up to the position of prime minister. He ignored state affairs and was granted the titles of Duke of Ying and Duke of Yan without any achievement. Cai You was initially protected by Cai Jing, and the father and son were in cahoots with each other. Later, they turned against each other because of competing for favor.

"Same heart": having the same intention to seek power.

"Same path": The methods of seeking power are the same, both use flattery, deception and confusion.

【The sun and the moon in the sky, the object in your hand】

"The sun and the moon in the middle of the sky": obviously it is not the "sun and the moon" that are "blind" in the prophecy. "日": seems to refer to Huizong. "Yue": It seems to refer to Empress Yuanyou of Emperor Zhezong, whose title was abolished again during the reign of Emperor Huizong. Cai Jing was very powerful and manipulated Huizong at will, and even deposed Empress Yuanyou.[2]

[Strange clouds over the North Sea]

"Qiyun": refers to the suddenly rising Jin Kingdom.

“North Sea”: Lake Baikal was called the North Sea in ancient times. It was in the North Sea that Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty tested Su Wu to herd sheep[3].

The Liao Dynasty had a vast territory. In the late Song, Jin and Liao dynasties, the Liao Dynasty's territory started from Jinshan in the west (the Altai Mountains on the border between Xinjiang and Mongolia today), extended to the northern edge of the Mongolian Plateau and the Greater Khingan Range in the north, reached Sakhalin Island (now Sakhalin Island) in the east, and reached Hamhung in Korea in the southeast. Its southern border was with the Northern Song Dynasty in today's Inner Mongolia, Shanxi and Hebei. "Beihai" was the northern border of the Liao Kingdom.

This sentence is a metonymy in ancient Chinese, referring to the fact that after the Jin Kingdom completely destroyed the Liao Kingdom and occupied all of Liao’s territory, it marched its troops from the north to the south, preparing to attack the Northern Song Dynasty.

※ "Qiyun" - the rapidly rising Jin Dynasty, the Jurchen people in the Changbai Mountain and Songhua River area, were "ruled" by the Liao Kingdom during the Song and Liao dynasties. Wanyan Aguda became the leader of the Jurchens in 1113, proclaimed himself emperor in 1115, and established the Great Jin Dynasty. When the Wanyan clan swore an oath to fight against the Liao in 1114, they had only a few thousand soldiers and generals. They won battle after battle and completely destroyed the Liao in 1125.

[The Phoenix Palace and the Dragon Court were filled with sorrow]: When the Northern Song Dynasty learned that the Jin army was marching south, the imperial court and the harem were very scared, thinking that a disaster was imminent.

"Da Ce", pronounced as da ce, refers to fear and sadness.

3. Chen Xi’s interpretation of the diagram

The protruding grass in the picture refers to the radical of the Chinese character for grass, “艸”, which is an allusion to the character “蔡” in Cai Jing’s name. The two grasses represent Cai Jing and his son.

At the same time, the grass exposed above the water must be the edge of the water - implying the word "漈".漈: phonetic notation, refers to the waterside. The first existing regular script dictionary "Yupian" notes: "漈" means the edge of the water.

"漈" and the grass head "艸" imply that Cai Jing and his son are the source of disaster, confusing Huizong and bringing chaos to the court.

【Wen Zheng's Interpretation of the Hexagram】

The hexagram is "Tong Ren", with Li at the bottom, representing fire, and Qian at the top, representing heaven.

The "Tong Ren" hexagram represents "two people of one mind, working together", which is exactly in line with the "same mind and same path" of Cai Jing and his son. The fortune of this hexagram: "Harmony between superiors and subordinates, and promotion by elders" fits in with the fact that Cai You was promoted in the early days because of his father Cai Jing.

"Tong Ren" originally means "good luck and happiness", but its original image only means "two people working together with one mind", which is a metaphor for the abuse of power by Cai Jing and his son. The "Tong Ren" hexagram appears again later in "Tui Bei Tu", also with the meaning of working together, but without any auspicious sign.

Song Huizong was a famous tyrant in history. He was deceived by Cai Jing and others and became foolish, arrogant and extravagant. He was keen on eating, drinking and having fun, and there were "tens of thousands" of beauties in the palace. The imperial court inevitably imposed heavy taxes on the people, which led to the Song Jiang Uprising in 1119 (in present-day Shandong) and the Fang La Uprising in 1120 (in present-day Zhejiang). Although the Northern Song Dynasty quelled the rebellion within three years, it was unable to resist the corrupt army. The Cai father and son were monopolistic and corrupt.

After the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty in 1115, envoys from Song and Jin traveled on the sea and signed the "Maritime Alliance" to jointly destroy the Liao Dynasty. After the destruction of the Liao Dynasty, the Song Dynasty gave the annual tribute to the Liao Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty returned the Yanyun area to the Song Dynasty. Later, the Song Dynasty was defeated when it sent troops. After the Jin Dynasty conquered the Liao Dynasty, the Song Dynasty had to pay a large sum of money to redeem Yanyun, and Cai You thus became the Duke of Ying.

In February 1125, the Jin Dynasty conquered the Liao Dynasty. In the late autumn of that year, Wanyan Zongmou and Wanyan Zonghan of the Jin Dynasty marched southward to attack the Song Dynasty in two groups, and the Song army surrendered one after another.

At the beginning of 1126, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Huizong gave up the throne to the 27-year-old Zhao Huan (Qinzong, Huan: pronounced as Huan). Soon after Qinzong ascended the throne, he eliminated the six bandits one after another according to the request of Chen Dong, a student of the Imperial College. (During this period, Huizong fled to the south for several months because the Jin army marched south.) Except Cai Jing who was exiled to Lingnan, the other five of the six thieves were executed one after another, and Cai You and Cai Huo were also killed. But the war faction and the surrender party continued to fight among themselves.

The 80-year-old Cai Jing was demoted. No one along the way was willing to sell him food or give him a place to stay. When he arrived in Tanzhou (now Changsha), he starved to death in a dilapidated temple in the south of the city.

Corruption and party struggles cannot keep peace, and ceding land and offering silver cannot buy stability. A serious national disaster, a great shame in Chinese history, has been "determined" in the next image...
