Tui Bei Tu: The Prophecy Book That May Have Hidden Political Codes

Tui Bei Tu (推背圖) is a Chinese prophecy book usually divided into 60 figures, each with a picture, a few short prophetic lines, and a poem. Tradition credits it to Li Chunfeng (602-670) and Yuan Tiangang during the Tang period; the last figure shows two people pushing each other's backs, which gave the book its name.
