The Tui Bei Tu (Push Back diagrams) was a book of prophecies for China, written in the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. Authored by two imperial astronomers for the first Tang emperor, it is the most accurate book of prophecy ever written in China.
It consists of 60 pictures or diagrams, and for each diagram there are 2 poems of 4 sentences each, that is, two quatrains similar to Nostradamus’. The prophecies apparently cover the history from the Tang Dynasty to the present, and extend to a few hundred years into the future in my estimation.
It is not cloaked in esoteric words, and is plain to read in many places. In certain prophecies, the names of historic figure could even be identified in its quatrains. Some are so easy to read that anyone with a Chinese dictionary could know what they mean.
What distinguish it from other ancient prophecies in the world is that the events told in the prophecies are in time order. Historical events can thus be traced quite easily. This also narrows the possible interpretations enormously, making the understanding of each prophecy in the aftermath almost indisputable. For past histories its accuracy is very astounding, and it is hard to understand why it is so little known in the west.
I am not an expert in its interpretation, but I can see many of the partial translations and interpretations are politically oriented and are quite wrong. Here I would like to show you a few diagrams, translate a few lines, write the possible meanings of each Chinese character underneath, and you can already see how profound it is.
The first diagram: Introduction
1st Quatrain:
茫 茫 天 地， 不 知 所 止
Vast Heaven Earth Not knowing where ends
日 月 循 环, 周 而 复 始
Sun moon follows cycle/ring round and returns beginning
(Hugely vast is the cosmos, not knowing where it ends,
Sun and moon alternates in cycles, goes round and returns to the beginning)
The diagram shows two interlocking rings, with the characters, White and Red. There is a Taoist philosophy of Yin and Yang in it. I think it describes that no matter how vast the cosmos, time is cyclical.
The 39th diagram: Japanese Invasion and the Pacific War.
1st Quatrain:
鸟 无 足， 山 有 月
Bird no feet mountain has moon
旭 初 升， 人 都 哭
Sun first rises men all cry
(A bird without feet, the moon on the mountain,
When the sun rises, all will cry)
There is a play with the Chinese words “bird” and “mountain”, together they form the character “island”. Japan is an island nation. The sun is also the symbol for Japan. The meaning is clear.
2nd Quatrain:
十 二 月 中 气 不 和
Ten Two moon middle air not peaceful
南 山 有 雀 北 山 罗
South mountain has bird north mountain net
一 朝 听 得 金 鸡 叫
One morning hear that gold rooster calls
大 海 沉 沉 日 已 过
Big sea deep deep sun has passed
(Not a peaceful atmosphere in mid-December,
The bird in the south caught by the net in the north,
One morning when the golden rooster crows,
The sun will have set into the deep ocean)
This refers clearly to the Pearl Harbour attack on 7th, December, 1941, leading to the Japanese bird being caught by the American net. The Japanese sun would set in the year of the rooster.
You may think this could be a hoax, because rarely a prophecy is so precise. Not so, the proof is that for each prophecy there was written the comments/interpretation by the famous scholar Jin sheng Tan of the early Ching dynasty. He explained all the diagrams before his time and for the subsequent diagrams he remarked that explaining the past was easy, while guessing the future was very difficult. Nevertheless he would make the interpretation as best as he could.
For this diagram, he wrote: “This Sign I suppose meant foreigners fighting each other, disturbing China. Peace must wait until the year of the rooster.”
Jin was spot on. 1945 was the year of the rooster. His notes with the diagrams also prove the Tui Bei Tu was definitely a work written at least before the Ching Dynasty.
Diagram 45: The immediate future.
有 客 西 来， 至 东 而 止
A guest west comes to east and stops
木 火 金 水, 洗 此 大 耻
Wood fire metal water wash this big humiliation
(A guest comes from west and stops in the east.
Wood, fire, metal and water, wash this great humiliation)
The 2nd Quatrain:
炎 运 宏 开 世 界 同，
Fire period grand opens “the world” same
金 乌 阴 匿 白 洋 中
Gold crow shadow hide white ocean middle
从 今 不 敢 称 雄 长
From now not dare say male senior/superior
兵 器 全 销 运 已 终
Weapons all destroyed period has ended
(When the age of Fire grandly opens, the world will be united/one
The golden crow (the sun in Chinese metaphor) hides in the middle of white ocean
From now on dares not claim supremacy
When the weapons are all destroyed the age has ended)
The golden crow also signifies war. It appears a war will start in the ocean and last quite long. The length of a 运 is not specified. In Chinese FengShui it is 20 years.
I read this prophecy some 20 years ago, the general interpretation then, even up to now, came mainly from the diagram. The sun was thought to be Japan. The two warriors might be China with an ally, which must be Taiwan(!), fighting together against Japan. The second Sino-Japanese war.
I have serious doubts about this interpretation. Taiwan, Japan and USA are long time allied, there is little chance that Taiwan will side with China. War with Japan is possible, but over what? The Islands disputed or the Oil field in Yellow Sea? Not so important, I think, as to start a major war.
My own interpretation is more surprising. Could it be the sun is actually the SUN! The 2 warriors could mean the human population. The sun might turn out to be our enemy, and we must unite to fight against it! How else would a painter draw something to mean the world?
That is surprising, because if this interpretation is correct, it coincides with everything we know. Extreme Solar flares induced by Nibiru/Elenin, polar shift etc have everything to do with the sun.
Of course you must be convinced first of all that 45th diagram is the immediate future, 44th is now in the passing. This is quite clear to me to be the case. But I will not go too deep here.
History goes on according to the Tui Bei Tu. This is good news. The 59th is a description of a Utopia:
无 城 无 府， 无 尔 无 我
No City no province no you no me
天 下 一 家， 治 臻 大 化
Heaven under one family rule reaches great merging
(No citadels and no boundaries, no you and no me,
The world is one family, humanity will be all one)
It appears the duration for one diagram is some 20-50 years, if now is 44, when will Utopia come? 44 to 59, you can do the Maths. (There have been 5 diagrams since WWII, diagrams 40-44, spanning 70 years, so it appears a lot more is happening in our era, or that time is "compressed" somewhat, you may take that into consideration)
The 60th is simply the authors lamenting history is too long to be told, so they might as well one pushing the back of the other, and go home, like this:
