This is an auspicious sign(五星連珠)
In the Song Dynasty there was a famous
minister called Tao Gu.
History books tell a story about him.
He dabbled in many kinds of knowledge and
was also an expert in astrology.
He lived from 903-970 AD.
China was very turbulent for more than 50
years from 907 to 960 AD.
Many kingdoms rose quickly and many
kingdoms died quickly.
This period was followed by the long and
stable Song Dynasty from 960 AD to 1279 AD.
In 947 AD, the king of the Khitan kingdom
in northern China led an army to invade the capital of the Later Jin kingdom,
and the Later Jin kingdom fell.
One day he said to his friends
Recently I was observing astrology at night
and I saw a very special scene.
Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn
recently appeared in the south-western sky at the same time.
This is an auspicious sign, so I judge that
a new kingdom will be established in the southwest of China.
He spoke to his friend again a few days
later.
Last night I saw another special
astrological phenomenon, a comet heading towards the capital of the Khitan
kingdom.
This is a bad omen. I believe the King of
the Khitan Kingdom will die, and after his death his sons will cause long and
continuous civil strife as they fight for the throne.
I conclude that the Khitan Kingdom can no
longer cause great harm to China.
Facts have proven his predictions to be
true. In 947 AD, the Houhan Kingdom was established and the king of the Khitan
Kingdom died suddenly at the age of 45.
This idiom means that Venus, Jupiter,
Mercury, Mars and Saturn appear at the same time in a particular position in
the sky.
This saying means that it is an auspicious
sign.
Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or
thought do you have after hearing this story?
Do you believe that our destiny is shown in
the stars? Do you think that the date of birth can have a great influence on a
person?
I hope this story can give you a new
harvest.
五星連珠(This is an auspicious sign)
宋王朝有一位著名的大臣，這個大臣的名字叫做陶穀。
歷史書上記載了一個關於他的故事。
他涉獵了多種知識，他還是一個星象學專家。
他生活的年代是西元903-970年。
中國在西元907-西元960年的這50多年的時間非常動亂。
很多王國快速興起，很多王國又快速消亡。
這段期間後，緊接著是長期穩定的西元960年到西元1279年的宋王朝。
西元947年，中國北方的契丹王國的國王率領軍隊攻入後晉王國的首都，後晉王國滅亡。
有一天他對他的朋友們說。
我最近的晚上都觀察星象，我看到一件很特殊的情景。
金星、木星、水星、火星和土星，最近竟然同時出現在西南方的天空。
這是一個吉祥的徵兆，所以我判斷在中國的西南方會建立一個新的王國。
幾天後他又對他的朋友說。
我昨天晚上又觀察到一個特殊的星象，有一顆彗星朝著契丹王國的首都方向飛去。
這是一個兇惡的徵兆。我認為契丹王國的國王會死，而他死後他的兒子們會因為爭奪王位而引發長久而且持續的內亂。
我斷定契丹王國再也無法對中國造成巨大的危害。
事實證明他的預言都成真，西元947年後漢王國建國而且契丹王國的國王在45歲的壯年突然暴斃。
這句成語的意思是金星、木星、水星、火星和土星同時出現在天空中的某一方位。
這句成語的意思是這是一個吉祥的徵兆。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你相信我們人類的命運會顯現在星象上嗎?你是否相信出生日期會對一個人產生巨大的影響呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
