I heard that you are good at Yao Xiang. Please help me make a hexagram to see if I can be ranked among the three nobles? (Image source: Adobe stock)
He YanyesCao CaoAt that time, there were two forces confronting each other in the court, one was Cao Shuang, whom He Yan was attached to, and the other was Sima Yi. One day, He Yan asked the fortune tellerGuan Ren: “I dreamed that ten bluebottle flies gathered on my nose and I couldn’t get rid of them. What’s the reason?”
During the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Ren, a Wei man, became famous for his divination. According to records, when he was eight or nine years old, he liked watching stars very much, so much that he “didn’t want to sleep at night.” His parents often banned him, but they couldn’t stop him. When Guan Ren grew up, he became an expert in the Book of Changes, astronomy, divination and fortune-telling.
On December 28, the ninth year of the Zhengshi period of Cao Wei (248), He Yan, the official minister, invited him to his residence. Deng Yang was also present at the time. He Yan said to Guan Ren, “I heard that you are good at Yao Xiang. Please help me.” Let me make a prediction to see if I can be ranked among the three masters.” Then he said: “I dreamed about dozens of blue flies gathering on my nose all night long, and I couldn’t get rid of them. I don’t know why.”
Guan Ren said: “Everyone thinks that owls are low-level birds. When they eat mulberries in the forest and make pleasant sounds for me, even a bird can do this. What’s more, I am not a grass-roots person, how dare I not be loyal? In the past, Yuan Kai assisted Emperor Shun and was philanthropic to all; Duke Zhou assisted the king and was diligent and diligent, so he was able to benefit all directions and bring peace to all countries. This is a beautiful reward for fulfilling the law of heaven, and it cannot be understood by using divination.
Today you are as powerful as a mountain and as powerful as thunder and lightning, but few people are grateful for your kindness and many are afraid of your power. I am afraid you are not a blessed person. Besides, the nose hexagram belongs to ‘Gen’, which is also called the mountain in the sky (the nose is located in the sky, and there is a mountain image on the nose). It is high and not dangerous, and can protect wealth for a long time. Nowadays, blue flies are gathering on your nose, and blue flies like bad smells. This means that those with high status may be overturned, and those who are frivolous may be destroyed. Therefore, we must think about the truth that things must reverse when they reach their extremes, and things must decline when they reach their peak.
Therefore, a mountain in the ground is called “qian”, and a thunder in the sky is called “zhuang”; modesty means to reduce excess to make up for deficiencies, and strong means not to do something impolite. In this world, there is no one who harms oneself and benefits others, and there is no one who does evil without harming others. I hope you can follow the will of King Wen of Zhou and think deeply about the meaning of the statue of Confucius. Only in this way can there be hope for the position of the three princes, and so can blue flies. disperse. ”
Deng Yang said: “This is just a cliché!” Guan Ren replied: “Old students will never see each other, and people who often talk will not talk about it.” (Although it is a cliché, it cannot be underestimated.) He Yan said: “We will meet again after the New Year. Bar.”
Guan Ren returned home and told his uncle what had happened. His uncle scolded him for speaking out. Guan Ren replied, “What’s so scary about talking to the dead?”
The uncle angrily scolded Guan Ren for being crazy and rebellious. Guan Ren said: “Look at the way Deng Yang walks. His muscles are not tied to his bones, his blood is not tied to his muscles. He stands crookedly and weakly, as if he has no hands or feet. This is called ‘ghost mania’ in physiognomy.” ‘. As for He Yan’s eyes, which are soulless, bloodless, and languid, his face is like a gaunt tree, which is called “ghostly ghost”. Those who are ghostly are caught by the wind, and those who are ghostly are burned by fire. This is a natural principle. The days are numbered.”
On New Year’s Day in 249 AD, a strong wind blew up from the northwest, and dust flew up and covered the sky. More than ten days later, I heard that He Yan and Deng Yang were killed by Sima Yi, and my uncle was convinced by Guan Ren. (“Three Kingdoms: Biography of Wei Shufang’s Techniques”)
