《
推背圖》是一部歷史悠久的讖書。部分愛好者相信它是中國古代一本預言書，但是大多數學者認為，該書在流傳的過程中屢經修改，將已知的歷史改成圖讖加以比附，並非原書具有預言能力 。由于歷朝歷代均嚴禁此類讖書，該書又不斷被人篡改，故其本來面目已渺不可考。此書有眾多不同版本，且內容各不相同，互相衝突。

作者、成書時間和版本
《推背圖》相傳是唐朝太宗皇帝李世民命天文學家李淳風、相士袁天罡合著推算大唐氣運而作。出現「推背圖」一詞的最早文獻是唐代的《大雲經疏》。南宋人岳珂的《桯史》「藝祖禁讖書」條也提到推背圖，以為作者是李淳風。不過，《舊唐書》和《新唐書》裡李淳風、袁天綱的傳記，列有二人著作數十種，並無《推背圖》，而元朝成書的《宋史·藝文志五》則將該書歸入子部五行類，作者佚名。
有書籍如《破解閏八月劫數》等，稱該通行本非唐代產物。香港中文大學哲學系的勞思光教授曾經舉出岳珂的《桯史》和陸游的《南唐書》來証明《推背圖》經過篡改，原本已不可求。
香港專欄作家王亭之先生則指出通行本是清末民國初年間人的偽作，有一些圖象理應是清末術士摻進。現在坊間常見的版本是民國四年出版，託名明末清初金聖歎作序並加以評註字樣的六十圖版本，共一卷，六十象，按天幹、地支排序。每象附有圖一幅、讖語四句、「頌曰」四句、金聖歎評註一段。起「自從盤古迄希夷」，終「不如推背去歸休」。一般認為該版本是清末民國初年間人的偽作。
另一常見版本藏于台北中央研究院歷史語言研究所傅斯年圖書館，共兩冊。65頁，每頁彩圖一幅，七言四句，另有注釋若干。起「鞍鹿山(安祿山)木易(楊)玉環」，終「一甲人推一金甲人推背」。
《推背圖》至少有六個版本：
• 彩繪明抄本，台灣中央研究院藏；
• 明抄本（無圖），台灣中央圖書館藏；
• 明抄本，芝加哥大學藏；
• 清初潘氏八喜樓抄本；
• 清末石印本，芝加哥大學藏；
• 流行版（即金聖歎批註版），出版者稱1860年火燒圓明園時由圓明園流出，網路上流傳的多為此版本，但原本從未現身。台灣學者翁常鋒在專著《<推背圖>研究》中，針對「金批」版的真實性，提出一系列質疑。
預言解讀
推背圖版本眾多，內文並不統一，且各方見解有異。部分愛好者相信《推背圖》有神奇的預言能力，但學者多認為其實都是書者按照已經已經發生的歷史事件來編造讖語。

Tui bei tu (推背圖 tuī bèi tú) is a Chinese prophecy book from the 7th-century
Tang dynasty. The book is known for predicting the future of China, and is written by
Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang (袁天罡), and has been compared to the works of famous western prophet Nostradamus. Well known in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, the book was previously banned in the People's Republic of China under the Communist party for superstition (one of the "Four Olds"), though it has since reappeared in street-side book stalls in the 1990s as a bestseller.

Description
The book is supposed to contain clues to China's future conveyed through a series of 60 surreal drawings, each accompanied by an equally obscure poem. The title means "Back-Pushing Sketch" and comes from the last illustration.
Each poem is a prophecy, which describes a Chinese historical event that will occur in order. For example, the 36th poem should occur before the 40th poem. Poem number 60 is the last prophecy. Some sources have said that out of the 60 prophecies, 55 of them are supposed to have already been fulfilled. Though just like Nostradamus's work, the interpretations largely depend on the individuals. Some scholars compared the different versions and found the book has been rewritten many times.
Usage
During the end-of-dynasty turmoil, rebels used it to prophesize victory for their cause and thereby drum up public support. As the introduction to one mainland China version of the book explained, Tui Bei Tu is a way of shaping public opinion used by feudal rulers to seize power or consolidate power. It is also similarly used by oppressed people to overthrow their rulers.
In popular culture
• The Hong Kong TVB drama A Change of Destiny mentions the Tui bei tu.
