First, check the version of the pushback diagram roughly.
There are six versions circulating at present. A push-back diagram of Mr. Wang Tingzhi in Hong Kong: 1. Hui Ming's manuscript, collected by Academia Sinica, Taiwan; Second, Ming Notes (without pictures), Taiwan Province Central Library; Third, Ming Dynasty paper money. University of Chicago; 4. Banknotes of Panshi Baxilou in the early Qing Dynasty were collected in the coffin of Taiwan Province Central Library; Fifth, Yin Ben in the late Qing Dynasty. University of Chicago; Six, the gold batch (it is said that Eight-Nation Alliance rebellion, from the qing dynasty palace).
The Golden Skin was published in the fourth year of the Republic of China (19 16). The legendary circulation route map is: Jin Shengtan's annotation-income in the palace during Qianlong period-British and French allied forces invaded Beijing, left the palace for Europe-patriotic overseas Chinese bought back treasures-returned to China. This version is the most popular now. As for Pan Shi Baxilou banknotes, although they didn't appear at first, they circulated in an orderly way, so they are considered to be the most reliable. In fact, there are more versions of Twitter. Retirement has become famous all over the world since the Five Dynasties. At the end of each dynasty, when the society was in turmoil, all kinds of pushing appeared. These versions are different, and some of them are very different, which dazzles us modern people.
Because of the records of the Song people, it is believed that this book is not lacking in evidence in the Tang Dynasty. Pan Shi Baxilou banknotes were in order, and Yuan Tiangang and Li presented them to Emperor Taizong. In fact, this book was written by Emperor Taizong who ordered them to speculate about the future. Such predictions have always been the top secret of the rulers. Because all our emperors claimed that imperial power was a gift, and the legal system of every dynasty came from destiny. Yuan and Li were recognized as masters of numerology at that time, that is, people who could calculate fate. The Millennium prophecy they wrote contains many changes of dynasties, but the spread of this book will shake the foundation of the country.
So it must be a secret that this book is dedicated to Emperor Taizong after completion. Another problem is that there is no trace of this book in the Tang Dynasty, nor has it been mentioned by any generation of emperors. How do you explain this? I have a bold inference. Tang Taizong was broad-minded, so he had a push back picture. He is also a master of calligraphy and has a high cultural accomplishment. When he died, he asked to be buried with a large number of beloved things, mainly books and calligraphy posts, the most famous of which was Preface to Lanting. The history books do not record the book buried with him, but the Preface to Lanting written by Wang Xizhi, which is the pinnacle of China's calligraphy. I guess, the push-back map is a funerary object, and no one should have seen it in the later Tang Dynasty.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Wen Tao, the warlord, and then the Huang Chao Uprising Army ransacked the mausoleum of Emperor Taizong, and found that the books inside were well preserved and the ink was as good as new. The Preface to Lanting Collection fell into someone's hands and disappeared from the scene. By the way, although Huang Chao's army is a peasant uprising army, Huang Chao himself is a real scholar, and his chrysanthemum poems are quite level to tell the truth, but he knows the goods.
Thus, the TuiBei Map was unearthed. At that time, it was the end of Datang, and everyone knew that Datang was going to die soon. So who can take the lead? Of course, the most convenient and quick way is to look at destiny, but this book is full of crossword puzzles and puzzles, which is difficult to interpret, so this book must be widely circulated in the military for everyone to study. Warlords of all walks of life disintegrated quickly, starting from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. This is a turbulent time. Many countries appeared on the land of China, and each emperor didn't last long. People all over the world want to know what will happen in the future, so this book soon spread among the people, and by the early Song Dynasty, it had reached the level that every household in the Song Dynasty said.
Moreover, this book is widely circulated, and the Five Dynasties are not far from the Tang Dynasty. Will people at that time not know the author and why? And as I said before, the preface of this book is the inscription of Yuan and Li. The people who wrote it under the pretext should not only make up an inscription, but also make up an image to deceive thousands of families in Qian Qian in the Five Dynasties. Many of them are still literati and are unlikely to deceive the whole world. This is also different from Huangdi Neijing, which was written at least 1000 years ago. In fact, most people at that time knew that this book was written under the pretext. Of course, everyone can say that this is all my speculation, but the view that this book is a book of the Five Dynasties is also speculation, and there is no physical proof. Since it's all speculation, of course, we should choose the most reasonable one.
Although it is often said that history cannot find the truth, I think this is nihilistic. Maybe we don't know the truth after 10 years, and we still don't know it after 50 years, but after 100 years, 1000 years? Although many emperors tampered with history books and covered up their fame, today we really know much more than our predecessors. For example, the first fake book in history, Shangshu, we know much more today than scholars in Ming Dynasty. Not only did the textual research of scholars in the Qing Dynasty make us know more about the truth, but various archaeological discoveries also gave us great help.
