Yuan Tiangang's arithmetic ability is very strong. There are two reasons for saying that he is good at arithmetic. The first reason is that he is taught by a famous teacher. As the saying goes, a famous teacher makes a great apprentice. The second reason is that co-writing TuiBei has a great influence on later generations.
1. A master apprentice under the guidance of a famous teacher
It is recorded in The Journey to the West, a famous ancient novel in China, that there is an able man who can accurately calculate what will happen in the future, even the destiny. This person is Yuan Shoucheng. Yuan Tiangang is Yuan Shoucheng's nephew, and the relationship is so close. Yuan Tiangang has been smart since childhood. As an uncle, how could Yuan Shoucheng not teach his physiognomy? From this point, it can be inferred that Yuan Tiangang's arithmetic ability is not comparable to that of ordinary magicians.
It is said that Yuan Tiangang's arithmetic ability is better than shine on you's. He can not only help people to seek good fortune and avoid bad luck, but also infer what will happen through the change of wind power. Some people say that Yuan Tiangang created the fortune-telling by touching bones. Besides the fortune-telling technique, he is also proficient in many techniques such as Yin-Yang and Five Elements.
2. Yuan Tiangang's name became known to the world after co-writing TuiTui
, basically because of the wonderful book TuiTui, which was co-written by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. During the reign of Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was prosperous and peaceful, but as an emperor, he wanted to know the future direction of the Tang Dynasty, so he invited Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng to count the national fortunes of the Tang Dynasty.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng readily agreed to their fate, probably because they were obsessed with fortune-telling. Since Emperor Taizong Li Shimin ordered them to count the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng have worked tirelessly to calculate all the history after the Tang Dynasty, including the An Shi Rebellion. But at that time, no one could interpret the book TuiBeiTu, and some people said that TuiBeiTu calculated the years since the Tang Dynasty.
The rulers of the Song Dynasty attached great importance to the name of this book, and even listed TuiBei as an official history book. However, the things recorded in this book were too subtle. The rulers of the Song Dynasty were afraid that someone could fully interpret TuiBei, which would have an impact on the national luck of the Song Dynasty, so they listed this book as a banned book. From the influence of this book, we can feel Yuan Tiangang's arithmetic ability, which has reached an unprecedented level.
