During the Zhenguan period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor issued an edict ordering Yuan Tiangang to go to Jiucheng Palace. Yuan Tiangang said: "The face of the Sheren is wide, and the eyebrows are longer than the eyes, and your literary talents can be famous in the sea." But you have a bone in your head, and you can't achieve much. From the back, you don't get the fate of the three-rank official at all, but from the front, you can get the three-rank official. But your limbs are weak, and your bones are not commensurate with your flesh, and if you get three grades, I am afraid it will be a sign of longevity. Later, after Cen Wenwen was promoted to Zhongshu Ling, he died shortly after.

Fang Xuanling and Li Xiansu came to see Yuan Tiangang together. Fang Xuanling said: "Judging Su is arrogant, you show him his appearance first, and see what kind of official he can get?" Yuan Tiangang said: "I can't see the five products." If it is a more important official position below the sixth grade, it is still possible. Li Xiansu no longer asked about his own affairs, and said, "Let's see what kind of official Fang Gong can get?" Yuan Tiangang said: "This official is very rich and noble, if you want to get the five-grade official position, ask him." Li Xiansu didn't believe Yuan Tiangang's words. Later, Fang Xuanling served as the prime minister, and Li Xiansu served as a housekeeper and died in office. After Tang Gaozong heard what Yuan Tiangang said when he showed Fang Xuanling his appearance, he asked Fang Xuanling to give Yuan Tiangang a five-grade official position, and Fang Xuanling asked the saint to give him the title of counselor. Shen Guogong Gao Shilian said to Yuan Tiangang: "What official position can you get in the future?" Yuan Tiangang said: "I know that my official fortune has come to an end, and there will be no more." I'm afraid I'm going to have a great trouble. Sure enough, before April was over, Yuan Tiangang died.

Jiang Yan, the assassin of Puzhou, when he was a child, Yuan Tiangang predicted to him: "This child should suffer from many years of imprisonment, and he will be rich and noble in the future, follow someone, and be able to assassinate him." At noon on the 5th of August, when he was eighty-three years old, he was put to an end. Later, during the expedition to Liaodong, Jiang Yan was captured by the enemy and imprisoned in the dungeon for seven years, and only returned after pacifying Goryeo. is exactly like what Yuan Tiangang said, the official has done the history of Puzhou assassination. When he was eighty-three years old, he said to his family: "Yuan Gong said that I am eighty-three years old, this is death!" So he bought wine and food to say goodbye to relatives and friends. At this time, the emperor's holy decree came: dismissal and resignation, and the suspension of the issuance of the salary. It was several years before he died.

Li Yifu lived in Sichuan, and when Yuan Tiangang saw him, he said in surprise: "This young man is very noble, but he doesn't live long. So he left him at home and entrusted his son to him, saying, "This child has the seven qualities of life, and I hope you will take care of it more in the future." Li Yifu agreed, and asked Yuan Tiangang how long his life was? Yuan Tiangang replied: "After the age of fifty-two, I don't know. Later, Li Yifu was jointly recommended by Li Daliang, the appeasement envoy, and Liu Xun, who served in the service. Tang Taizong summoned him and asked Li Yifu to compose a poem "Yongwu". Li Yifu wrote a poem "Yongwu" on the spot: The sun is in the day, and the night is accompanied by the piano. How many trees in the forest, do not borrow a branch to perch. Tang Taizong appreciated him very much and said: "I will lend you the whole tree, not only one branch!" From the ceremony under the door, you are the overseer. Later, the official position of Li Yifu and the longevity were all as Yuan Tiangang said.

Li Qiao, a native of the emperor, showed outstanding talent at a young age. All five of his brothers died before they were thirty years old, and only Li Qiao grew up by himself. Li Qiao's mother, worried day by day that her son would die, went to Yuan Tiangang and asked Li Qiao to see his face. Yuan Tiangang said: "The young man is delicate, but unfortunately he doesn't live long, I'm afraid he won't live to be thirty years old." Mother Li was very sad when she heard this. Li Qiao was already very famous at this time. Everyone in the family wanted him to be noble and developed, but after listening to Yuan Tiangang's words, they didn't want to believe it. Mother Li invited Yuan Tiangang again. And arranged for him to be served with a meal, so that he could give his son a closer look. Yuan Tiangang said: "It must be like this. Mother Li invited Yuan Tiangang to the study to sleep with Li Qiao in the same bed. Yuan Tiangang slept smoothly when he went to bed, but Li Qiao still didn't sleep, and suddenly fell asleep at the fifth watch. At this time, Yuan Tiangang happened to wake up, saw that Li Qiao was not breathing, tried it with his hand, and had lost his breath under his nose. At first, Yuan Tiangang was taken aback, looked at it for a long time, and found that Li Qiao was breathing through his ears. Yuan Tiangang woke up Li Qiao and told him, "I found the answer." So he got up and went to congratulate Li's mother, saying, "I have looked at the face several times, but I can't find the problem. I only saw it today, your son must live a long and noble life, it turns out that he breathes like a turtle! But the great noble and long-lived, but not rich. Later, it was as Yuan Tiangang said. During Wu Zetian's reign, Li Qiaoguan worshiped the prime minister, but his family was still very poor. During this period, Emperor Gaozong went to the Prime Minister's Mansion many times, and when he saw that the tent that Li Qiao used to sleep in was made of coarse silk like cloth, he sighed and said: "The prime minister of a country uses such a tent, which is detrimental to the dignity of our big country." I give you the royal embroidered tent in the palace.! Li Qiao slept in the embroidered tent given by the emperor, and he didn't sleep well until dawn, feeling as if he was sick, and he was extremely uncomfortable. So he reported to the emperor and said: "When the minister was young, the people who looked at me told me that I should not be extravagant, so I couldn't sleep well. Gaozong sighed for a long time and let him use his old tent. Li Qiao's body is short, and his nose and mouth are not thick. According to the concept of the people at that time, he should not be given gaoguan Houlu. During his time in Runzhou, he was sent to serve as an official of Xuanzhou Mountain silver mining. At this time, the news of Li Qiao's sudden death spread indiscriminately, and there was no one in the whole court who did not sigh sadly. Zhang Xungu, the winter official waiter, was Li Qiao's cousin, and was very sad after hearing this bad news, so he asked many relatives to visit the authenticity of this news, and happened to meet the envoy from the south and said: "Li Qiao is really dead." Zhang Xungu wept bitterly, and many officials in the court came to comfort him. At that time, there was a person who claimed to be good at the physiognomy technique, and especially learned Yuan Tiangang's physiognomy. Many prominent officials in the court and central government privately asked this person about Li Qiao. This person said: "I have long known the slightly thinner face of Li Qiaosheren Fenglu. "Whoever asks listens. The man also said, "Although Li Sheren is very talented, his ears, eyes, mouth, and nose are not rich or noble. Not long ago, I saw that he was a doctor of Chaosan, so I was worried about him. Those who asked said in unison, "Yes!" "Li Qiao actually held the important position of holding the center three times, and his status was above that of all the courtiers. From this point of view, Li Qiao's bone physiognomy is difficult to predict, but Yuan Tiangang can predict it.

Since then, Yuan Tiangang has become famous, as if he has become a figure who knows the past and the present.
