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 22nd image of Tuibei Tu, Yiyou, predict? Let’s take a look together!

【Prophecy】

Tianma is in the sky, and good times will come after bad times.

Fengfengmiaomiaomudalai

【Song said】

The king of the capital is full of anger in the southeast, and the flood of disasters is overwhelming.

One wood will support the second month of August. The horse will be safe before departure.

1. Explanation of the Song

[The royal spirit of the capital fills the southeast]: A certain place in the southeast is going to become the capital and establish a dynasty.

[Hold the pole in the vast ocean of disaster]: The strategy of selling out one's country is like a vast ocean of disaster, spreading across the whole country. "策干": a metaphor for national policy.

The Southern Song Dynasty's national policy was to passively resist the invasion of the Jin Dynasty, harm loyal officials, cede land, pay tribute, and oppress the people. Every time the Jin soldiers invaded, they burned and looted, causing great suffering to the people.

[One tree will support the second month of August]:

"Muhui": is "cypress". "Second and eighth month": The second month of the lunar calendar is half of the "spring" season, and the eighth month of the lunar calendar is half of the "autumn" season. "Spring" and "autumn" each together form the word "Qin". Such a wonderful riddle, no wonder Jin Shengtan praised it as the pinnacle of ancient riddles!

[The horse looks peaceful before departure]: It refers to the word "Lin'an", the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, which is now Hangzhou.

"To follow the way of music, sex, dogs and horses": to follow the way of "sounds, colors, dogs and horses".

"Half peace": It means that the Southern Song Dynasty was only half peaceful even though it was living in peace on half of the country.

"The color of the horse before departure": It seems to have the meaning of "the horse blocking the road before departure". Zhao Gou wanted to go to the Jin Kingdom to beg for peace in Xiangzhou, but Zong Ze and the people blocked the road with "divine horses" and prevented Zhao Gou from going to the Jin camp to seek peace under the pretext of heaven. Zhao Gou was able to cross the river to the south and be crowned emperor. This was later adapted into the myth of "King Kang Crossing the River on a Mud Horse".

2. Explain the prophecy

【Pegasus in the sky】

It refers to the supernatural story of "Mud Horse Crossing the River", satirizing Zhao Gou for using it to provide additional evidence for his enthronement. The sarcastic writing style was also used in the 12 Symbols when predicting Shi Jingtang, the "child emperor" of the Later Jin Dynasty. Zhao Gou's act of treason and self-humiliation was no less than that of Shi Jingtang, so it is not surprising that "The Book of Changes" ridiculed him in this way.

【Good times will come after bad times】

"No": The most evil hexagram among the 64 hexagrams. "Tai": The auspicious hexagram among the 64 hexagrams. This sentence has the same meaning as the idiom "Misfortunes will eventually turn into blessings", meaning that when bad luck reaches its extreme, good luck will begin to appear. The fate of the Zhao Song Dynasty and Zhao Gou himself was "good times after bad times". After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the royal family was captured by the Jin Kingdom. Zhao Gou, who escaped, continued the Zhao Song Dynasty. After Zhao Gou established the Southern Song Dynasty in 1127, he kept begging for mercy from the Jin Kingdom, hoping that the Jin Kingdom would spare him. After he fled to Yangzhou, he lived a peaceful and happy life. In February 1129, Wuzhu sent troops to attack Yangzhou. Zhao Gou fled in shock. Due to excessive fright, he became infertile from then on. During the Miao-Liu Rebellion in March, Zhao Gou was forced to give up the throne to his youngest son, and the rebellion was quelled two months later. In September, Wuzhu invaded the south. History records that he searched the mountains and seas. Zhao Gou fled all the way and stayed on the sea for 4 months without daring to go ashore. In 1130, Wuzhu retreated northwards, where he was badly defeated by Han Shizhong and Yue Fei[1] and never dared to cross the river again. Only then did Zhao Gou begin to see the light of day.

【Feng Feng Miao Miao】

Most versions use "凤凤" (simplified "凤凤"). The Kangxi Dictionary notes: "Quoted from ancient prophecies: Feng Feng." Because the only famous ancient prophecy handed down from generation to generation is "Tui Bei Tu", this sentence is interpreted as "Feng Feng": If the original text is "Feng Feng", it seems to refer to Yue Fei. The traditional Chinese character for “飞” is 飞, which looks like a pair of flying birds. Yue Fei’s courtesy name is Pengju, and Peng is the legendary “king of birds” - with a wingspan of 90,000 miles; Phoenix is ​​also the king of birds, which seems to be a metaphor. "Miao Miao" means the water is mighty, which corresponds to the "vast ocean of disaster" in the poem. "Feng Feng Miao Miao": It seems to refer to the struggle between the anti-Jin faction represented by Yue Fei and the surrender faction represented by Qin Hui in the Southern Song Dynasty. Yue Fei suffered misfortune, which further implies that Yue Fei was harmed by the surrender faction.

【Mugou Dalai Lama】: Southern Song Emperor Gaozong Zhao Gou was a "big liar". "木勾": the word "结构".

Three manifestations of Zhao Gou's "great dishonesty":

First, the national and family humiliations have not been avenged, and they have surrendered, become vassals, and sold out their country and ceded territory. As mentioned in the previous annotation, after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou's father, brothers, royal family, and clan members were all plundered to the north. The Jin Kingdom did its best to humiliate Zhao Gou, and Zhao Gou's family became the focus of the "laundry house". Legend has it that his mother, Concubine Wei, once received 105 guests in one day; Zhao Gou's wife, Concubine Xing, was pregnant when she was captured. She was forced to ride a horse on the road, which caused her to miscarry and she was raped. She died after being humiliated in the "laundry house" for 12 years; Zhao Gou's concubines, Tian and Jiang, were both abused to death; Zhao Gou had 5 young daughters, the youngest of whom disappeared, the third and fourth daughters died on the way, and the eldest and second daughters entered the laundry house since childhood. What is even more outrageous is that Emperor Taizong of Jin ordered people to "fabricate obscene books to slander Empress Wei and Empress Xing", write about their life in brothels, and broadcast them in the Central Plains and the south.

The hatred for losing one’s country is irreconcilable, and the hatred for humiliating one’s king is as old as the sun and the moon. In an era that advocates loyalty and righteousness, people of noble character and lofty ideals all hope, like Yue Fei, to "attack Huanglong directly" and "return our land to us", and they swear to never forget to wash away the great shame. However, Zhao Gou just kept begging for mercy from the Jin Kingdom, calling himself King Kang but not daring to call himself emperor. When Yue Fei was on the Northern Expedition, Zhao Gou only ordered him to fight against the Pseudo-Qi and not to invade the Jin Kingdom. In 1140, the Jin Dynasty tore up the peace treaty and invaded the south. It was repeatedly defeated by Yue's army and fled back to Tokyo (the former capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, now Kaifeng) in a hurry. When Yue Fei marched into Zhuxian Town (southwest of Kaifeng), Zhao Gou sent people "to travel more than 400 miles a day" and issued 12 golden medals to recall Yue Fei. In 1141, Wuzhu invaded the Central Plains again. Zhao Gou issued more than ten imperial edicts to order Yue Fei to go to the front line. The Jin army retreated upon hearing about Yue Fei. Wuzhu signaled to Zhao Gou to negotiate peace, and Zhao Gou immediately recalled Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Jun[2], stripped them of their military power, and made every effort to beg for peace from the Jin Kingdom.

Second, falsely welcome Emperor Qinzong back to the country and dismiss loyal officials to protect the throne

During Zhao Gou's several negotiations for peace with the Kingdom of Jin, he repeatedly asked for the coffins of Emperor Qinzong, Empress Xing (Zhao Gou's mother), and Emperor Huizong. However, asking for Emperor Qinzong's return was just a "political" rhetoric that had to be mentioned, just like Zhao Gou's clever words saying that he "was willing to be with Yue Goujian" and so on, to win people's hearts. He demoted Li Gang twice and killed Ouyang Che and Taixue student Chen Dong, all of which were attempts to curb the ideas and actions of resisting the Jin army and welcoming the emperor back to the Song Dynasty. In 1141, Wuzhu was so frightened by Yue Fei that he lamented that "it is easy to shake a mountain, but difficult to shake Yue Fei's army". He then proposed to Zhao Gou to get rid of Yue Fei and Yue Fei's army. Zhao Gou immediately instructed Qin Hui, who framed, collected and fabricated evidence but to no avail. He then killed Yue Fei and his son, and Zhang Xian on the grounds of "false accusation". When the news of his death spread, all the people of Song Dynasty cried bitterly, while the surrender faction felt relieved. After the assassination of Yue Fei, the only ones who could rival Wuzhu were the famous generals Wu Jie and Wu Lin, brothers, who defeated Wuzhu twice. Zhao Gou followed Wuzhu's instructions and ordered the Wu brothers to withdraw their troops, allowing Wuzhu to run rampant in Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Third, he lost his dignity and relied on myths to establish the emperor’s prestige. In 1139, Qin Hui, on behalf of Zhao Gou, knelt before the Jin envoy, pledged allegiance to Jin, ceded land, and paid tribute. After the assassination of Yue Fei in 1141, the Song Dynasty once again surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, ceded territory, paid tribute and begged for peace, which was known in history as the "Shaoxing Peace Talks". The Huai River was officially used as the boundary between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. Compared with the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty ceded nearly 1/3 of its territory. "Beyond the mountains there are green mountains, beyond the buildings there are buildings, when will the singing and dancing in the West Lake stop? The warm wind makes the tourists drunk, so they mistake Hangzhou for Bianzhou!" (Song Dynasty, Lin Sheng's "Inscription on the Residence in Lin'an") Zhao Gou had no ambition to make progress from the beginning, and was content with mediocrity. He lost the support of the people and made up the myth of "mud horse crossing the river" to show off his status. Such a person who betrayed his country and brought disgrace upon his family, who was stupid, incompetent, vicious and cruel, could be described as a “big villain” [3].

3. Chen Xi’s interpretation of the diagram

The water in the picture corresponds to the evil water in the ode and the vastness in the prophecy; the horse corresponds to the horse in the ode and the prophecy. However, when people look at the picture, the most common association is the legend of "King Kang crossing the river on a mud horse". The author believes that the horse in this picture is a satire on Zhao Gou, just like the 12th image sharply satirizes the "child emperor", and the stone (Shi Jingtang) in the picture is drawn as a pug.

The Fool's Stories - King Kang Ferrying Across the River on a Mud Horse

An emperor needs auspicious and supernatural signs to establish a new dynasty, especially when he is still immature. Apart from Zhao Gou's dream of receiving the imperial robe from Emperor Huizong, the best auspicious omen he believed in was "King Kang crossing the river on a mud horse." The legend was so widely spread that even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, "mud horse" was often used to refer to Zhao Gou. For example, "泥马Juanqin" (referring to Zhao Gou becoming the emperor emeritus) in "Stories from Ancient and Modern Times".

There are many versions of the story of "King Kang Crossing the River on a Mud Horse". The most popular version is the one in "The Romance of Yue Fei", which says that Zhao Gou was a hostage in the Jin Dynasty and was adopted as his son by Jin Wushu (pronounced: Wuzhu, real name: Wanyan Zongbing, son of Jin Taizu). Zhao Gou escaped from the Jin camp, and Wuzhu chased him and shot his horse over. Zhao Gou hastily changed horses, and the horse carried him into the river, stepping on the water and crossing the river. Then the horse disappeared. Zhao Gou fled to the temple and saw a clay horse that was wet and melting. Only then did he realize that the clay horse had manifested a spirit. However, this story was made up several years after Zhao Gou ascended the throne.

However, Zhao Gou's migration to the south and the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty was indeed related to a horse. In mid-November of the first year of the Jing Kang reign (1126), the Jin army marched southward, and Bianjing was in danger. Zong sent Prince Kang Zhao Gou to the Jin army to ask the Jin army to delay the war on the condition that they cede three towns and respect the Jin ruler as the emperor's uncle. When Zhao Gou and his companions arrived at Cizhou (now Ci County, Hebei), they were stopped by the famous anti-Jin general Zong Ze. Zhao Gou was still hesitant, so Zong Ze invited him to pay homage to the Cui Fujun Temple in the north of the city (locally known as "Yingwang Temple"). The people were worried that King Kang would go north from there, so they shouted and advised him to do so, and "the people surrounded him like a mountain." Zhao Gou got a lucky sign in the temple. At that time, more than 20 temple officials carried the sedan chair of "Ying Prince" (Cui Fujun), pretending that "Ying Prince" had a divine command to carry Zhao Gou back. There was also a "divine horse" from the temple following the sedan chair - the "divine horse" blocked the road and prevented the horse from going north - "God's will" could not be violated. Wang Yun, the deputy envoy accompanying Zhao Gou on the diplomatic mission, strongly advocated that Prince Kang be sent to Jin, but was beaten to death on the spot by the people. King Kang returned to his residence in a sedan chair.

On the 25th day of the intercalary eleventh month, Tokyo was captured by the Jin army. On the 27th, Zhao Gou received a handwritten edict from Emperor Qinzong, appointing him as the Grand Marshal of the Hebei Army. Zong Ze advocated lifting the siege of Tokyo and was demoted by Zhao Gou. On the first day of April in 1127, the Jin army, loaded with treasures, captured the two emperors, the harem, the royal family, nobles, and nearly 20,000 civilians and took them north, leaving behind Zhang Bangchang's pseudo-Chu Dynasty. On the fourth day of April, Zhao Gou had actually decided to ascend the throne. On the first day of May, he ascended the throne in Yingtian Prefecture (now Shangqiu, Henan) and established the Southern Song Dynasty. When the two emperors were still alive, Zhao Gou's self-proclaimed emperor was not legitimate and his words were not in line with the law, and the anti-Jin volunteer armies in various places acted independently. In order to consolidate his position, Zhao Gou began to "find" various evidences. When none of them could justify himself, the above-mentioned story of Lord Cui appearing as a god and King Kang crossing the river on a mud horse came into being.

In 1149, Zhao Gou personally ordered the construction of a temple in Lin'an to worship Cui Fujun. Later, when the envoys from the State of Jin came, Qin Hui saw the temple when he went to receive them, so he asked Zhao Gou to demolish it for fear of offending the State of Jin - because Zhao Gou's throne was granted by the State of Jin, not with the help of "God". In 1154, the temple was rebuilt on the bank of West Lake to enshrine Cui Fujun. Zhao Gou personally wrote the plaque and went to "confer the deity" to deify him. Zhao Gou fabricated myths and built temples in order to establish his own prestige as an emperor after he had lost all support from the people. He demolished temples to flatter the Jin Kingdom in order to hold on to the throne.

The 22nd image predicted the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty. The twenty-second image shows a horse standing in a flood. This means that when King Kang Zhao Gou first established the Southern Song Dynasty, he was in danger of being destroyed by the Jin Kingdom at any time.

The prophecy is: "When the sky is split open, bad times will be replaced by good times. When things go smoothly, great misfortunes will come to those who are in trouble." "Sky split open" refers to the celestial horse. It means that after Emperors Huizong and Qinzong were captured by the Jin people, Zhao Gou came out and things turned bad for the better. Although there was still a threat from the Jin army, he established the Southern Song Dynasty.

The eulogy is: "The royal energy of the divine capital is in the southeast, and the disaster is overwhelming. A tree will support the 28th month, and the horse will be safe before leaving." The phrase "a tree will support the 28th month" implies the name of the treacherous minister Qin Hui. These four sentences mean that after the two emperors were captured, the royal aura went to the southeast, but the Jin people were still the biggest threat; Qin Hui, who was captured together with the two emperors, became the prime minister after being sent back to the Southern Song Dynasty by the Jin people. He became an accomplice of the Jin people, advocated peace and stability, and repeatedly persecuted the anti-Jin soldiers.
