Did Zhu Yuanzhang really have a vision of heaven and earth when he was born?

There are real historical records, but I don't believe it very much, probably because the historian added it in order to highlight the difference of the activists.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was born, he did not have a vision of heaven and earth, because Zhu Yuanzhang was born on a very ordinary day.

No, this is all made up, in order to show that Zhu Yuanzhang is the destiny of heaven to be the emperor.

<> "Although Zhu Yuanzhang was born at the bottom, it is rumored that he also had a vision from heaven when he was born.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang (October 21, 1328 - June 24, 1398), the name Guorui, was originally known as Zhu Chong.

8. Zhu Xingzong, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty (reigned from 1368 to 1398), was named "Hongwu". Under his rule, social production was gradually restored and developed, and it was known as the "rule of Hongwu" in history.

Before the achievement of the ancient emperors, there will be some strange phenomena, which may be tricky, or there may be this thing, such as Liu Bang's mother conceived Liu Bang before, dreamed of a big python (also said to be a dragon) sleeping beside him, and soon became pregnant with Liu Bang, this vision does not sell dates with ordinary sounds, only rely on the mother herself to conceive and give birth to Liu Bang, later generations called it "pregnant and born", there are many similar ancient emperor legends. Although Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was born at the bottom, it is rumored that Zhu Yuanzhang was also born with a vision from heaven.

Pure dismantling of gods in night's dreams.

When Zhu Yuanzhang's mother, Chen, was pregnant with Zhu Yuanzhang, she dreamed at night that an immortal wearing a crown came from the northwest, took out an elixir, and said that this is a good thing, you take it, Zhu Yuanzhang's mother took this elixir, and soon Zhu Yuanzhang was born.

Hanguang was born. On the night of birth, at this time, the sky suddenly appeared fiery red glow, the whole house was also red and shining, it happened many times in a night, the nearby neighbors thought that the nearby temple was on fire, and rushed to fight the fire, after arriving at the temple, they found that the temple was not on fire, this is the vision of the sky, and it was Zhu Yuanzhang who was born at this time.

White gas through the room. It is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang was born, a white gas wafted from the southeast, running through the entire room, and the peculiar fragrance permeated the entire room, and the fragrance did not disperse overnight. This is very similar to Zhao Kuangyin when he was born, "the red light surrounds the room, the fragrance does not disperse, the body is golden, and it remains unchanged for three days", all of which are visions from the sky.

These visions are all recorded in history books (including wild history, which can be understood as unofficially certified history books), and in ancient times, the vision of the birth of the trouser ruler emperor in the metropolis from heaven may be true. And more likely, the "political myth" created before the achievement.

Zhu Yuanzhang's army was in the turbulent times to survive and seek development, which can be described as a step by step, and the rules can be used to achieve the effect militarily, but in that feudal and superstitious era, the poor people are more willing to believe that the emperor descended from heaven to save the world.

The various visions of Zhu Yuanzhang's birth may also be a variety of mysterious stories deliberately fabricated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and tell the people of the world that he is not a thing in the pool, but the savior of the people of the world, and God sent me to save the common people, so as to make the anti-Yuan struggle of his pole uprising more justified.

Judging from the results, the founding myth of "the birth of the Ming King", which created the true dragon and the son of heaven to sense the mandate of heaven, did play a certain role in the process of Zhu Yuanzhang's anti-Yuan Dynasty, coupled with Zhu Yuanzhang's determination to expel Hu Lu and the quality of foresight and foresight, the founding of the Ming Dynasty was achieved.

Born with red light.

In the first chapter of the "History of the Ming Dynasty", Taizu No. 1 Middle School recorded Zhu Yuanzhang's birth as follows: Zhu Yuanzhang's mother, Chen, when she was pregnant with Zhu Yuanzhang, dreamed that a fairy gave her a golden elixir one night. When she ate this elixir, she soon felt like she was about to give birth.

At this moment, the bedroom where he was suddenly filled with red light, and this happened several times in one night. The neighbors in the vicinity thought that Lao Zhu's house was on fire, and they came to help put out the fire (and production, the red light filled the room, and the light rose at night, and the neighbors saw it, and they were shocked to think it was a fire and rushed to help).

According to the inscription of "Zhu's Shide Tablet" written by himself, Zhu Yuanzhang, a clan surnamed Zhu, came from Jurong, Jinling (now Jurong City, Jiangsu Province), lived in Zhujia Lane, and belonged to Tongde Township, and Zhu Yuanzhang had made a living from agriculture for several generations. Master.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a native of Fengyang, and today in this show, I will correct to you that Zhu Yuanzhang is not actually from Fengyang. His hometown was originally Jurong County, Jiangsu Province, where he was a gold digger, because he couldn't stand the oppression of the Yuan Dynasty government, and later moved his family to the Huai River. That is, now Xuyi County.

This small city with beautiful scenery is Xuyi, why it is called Xuyi, because of the mountain in front of us. As we can see from the picture, this mountain is neither tall nor big, but its appearance in the northern Jiangsu Plain of Yima Pingchuan is very peculiar from any angle, and perhaps it is for this reason that this mountain has been called "the first mountain" by the literati and artists who have traveled here since ancient times. On this mountain, people can climb high and look far away, open their eyes as "Xu", raise their eyes as "Yi", and in the long run, Xuyi will gradually become a place name.

There are two small villages twenty kilometers northwest of Xuyi County, one is called Mingling Village, the other is called Zuling Village, what is the relationship between these two villages and Mingzu Tomb, we don't know, but from the names of these two villages to understand that it should be related to Ming Zuling, in order to solve the doubts, our film crew made a special trip to Mingling Village to interview the villagers here (an old man surnamed Zhu): "Before the Ming Zuling was discovered, there were Mingling Village and Zuling Village, and the villagers of these two villages were basically surnamed Zhu, As for why they are all surnamed Zhu, and why they are called Mingling Village and Zuling Village, I don't know it myself, I don't know, but not far from our village, there is a place called 'Big Tomb'."

I used to hear my grandmother say that Zhu Yuanzhang was born in my hometown, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang's mother fled to a cave by a river in his hometown and gave birth to him. Our senior ancestor said that she had lived in that cave before, and there was a stone bed, a stone table, and a stone bench. Now it's flooded because of the dam, and I don't know if it's true.

In Fengyang, Anhui Province, Zhu Yuanzhang often said that I was originally Huai Youbu Yi, that is, my birthplace.

A book called "Tianhuang Jade" goes like this: When Zhu Yuanzhang was not yet born, one day, Zhu Yuanzhang's mother Chen was sitting in the wheat field, and at this time a Taoist priest came from the northwest, with a long beard, a hairpin crown, a red robe, and an elephant in his hand. The Taoist priest sat in the wheat field and played with the white pill in his hand with an elephant slip.

This is the Great Dane. If you want, give you one. Chen took Da Dan with his hand, and without paying attention, he couldn't help but swallow it.

After she swallowed the Great Dan, the Taoist priest suddenly disappeared. Soon, Chen gave birth to a boy, Zhu Yuanzhang. Legend has it that when Zhu Yuanzhang was born, a white gas wafted from the southeast, running through the house, and the peculiar fragrance permeated the whole house, which did not disperse overnight.

Another book called "The Legend of Long Xingci" says: When Zhu Yuanzhang was born, the Erlang Temple, which was originally located in the west of the road, actually moved to a place close to the river dozens of steps east of the road. So his mother took the newborn baby to the river to bathe.

At this time, a red Luo suddenly floated in the water, and his mother used this red Luo as a baby's swaddling clothes. Later, the place where the Red Luo drifted was called the "Red Luo Barrier". The book also prefers to:

When Zhu Yuanzhang was born, the red light on the house was sky, and the monks of the Huanghuang Temple (later renamed Huangjue Temple) saw it from afar, and they were all shocked that there was a fire. When I inquired the next morning, I learned that a child had been born.

Obviously, what the "Heavenly Jade Jade" says is almost absurd - because since ancient times in China, there has been a saying that the great sage was born from a miraculous conception. In "The Legend of the Spring and Autumn Ram", it is said: "The saints have no father, and they respond to the heavens."

However, from today's rational point of view, these kinds of legends and collateral cannot stand up to scrutiny. What is said in "The Legend of Long Xingci" makes people think that Zhu Yuanzhang may have been born in Erlang Temple near the river, and he could only bathe in the river after birth. His parents had no cloth to make clothes for the baby, so they had to pick up a piece of red cloth that happened to float from the river and wrap it around their bodies.

As for whether Zhu Yuanzhang was born with "white air through the room" and "red candle sky", there is no way to verify. Moreover, the publication time of the book "The Legend of Long Xingci" has been 223 years since the first year of Zhu Yuanzhang's birth (1328), and the story has been passed down from generation to generation, and it must be getting farther and farther away from the truth.

Obviously, in order to advertise itself as a "divine grant of monarchy" and enhance the legitimacy of its rule, the imperial court must be willing to spread these legends of deifying Zhu Yuanzhang, even in the official authoritative history book "Ming Taizu Record", it is also recorded that Zhu's mother was miraculously conceived, and Zhu Yuanzhang was born full of red light and other strange stories. The surviving Records of Ming Taizu have been rebuilt twice, and its reliability has always been questionable. Using the sacredness of heaven to scare the people and strengthen authority is a common technique used by rulers in previous dynasties, and the "History of the Ming Dynasty" of the Qing Dynasty also records some such stories, but it is just an old theory.

Having a vision of heaven and earth at birth was the standard configuration of the founding emperor, and Zhu Yuanzhang was not the only one. This is a kind of standard propaganda to publicize the emperor's mandate of heaven, and there is no need to take it seriously. If you became the founding emperor in ancient times, you will also be assigned one.

Mother Chen's, Fang Pregnancy, Oneiroi gave a pill, put light in the palm, swallow it, and the aroma of the mouth. and production, the red light fills the room. Since there was light in the night, the neighbors saw it, and they were shocked to see it, and they rushed to help, but there was nothing.

This is the vision of Zhu Yuanzhang when he was born, his mother got a miracle medicine in a dream, and the red light in the house when he was born lasted for several days, and the neighbors saw it outside at night and thought it was **.

When the mother tasted Daze, she dreamed of meeting God. When the thunder and lightning are obscure, the father and the princess look at it, and see the dragon on it. has already had a pregnancy, and then gave birth to a high ancestor.

The vision of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, said that Liu Bang was the son of the dragon.

The imperial concubine Lu clan, born in Feng Yi Panruo Temple in June of the seventh year of the Great Unification, was born in Feng Yi Panruo Temple, and the purple gas filled the court. Youni is from Hedong, and the emperor said: "This place has never been very different, and it should not be in the world." ”

The vision of Emperor Wen of Sui when Yang Jian was born was full of purple gas.

Gaozu grows up, purple qi rushes to the court, the god illuminates the room, the body has three breasts, and the left armpit has a purple zhi like a dragon.

Tang Gaozu Li Yuan's vision when he was born may have been directly copied from Emperor Wen of Sui during the propaganda, and it was also full of purple gas. In addition to the vision of Li Yuan's birth, he also had a vision of his body, and in ancient times, it was also a vision that represented the possibility of a destiny beyond ordinary people. Legend has it that King Wen of Zhou had four breasts.

Historically, there have been many people who have merely physical visions who have developed their own ambitions or have been promoted by careerists to become leaders.

On the afternoon of December in the eighteenth year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, he was born in the annex of martial arts. From time to time, there are two dragons playing outside the door of the museum, and they go away in three days.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin has a special status, and the non-founding emperor also has a birth vision, and the two dragons frolicked outside the door for three days.

Taizu, Xuanzu Zhongzi, mother Du. In the second year of the Tang Dynasty, he was born in Luoyang Jiama Camp, surrounded by red light, and the fragrance was not dispersed. The body is golden, and it does not change for three days.

The vision of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin when he was born, the room was full of red light and strange fragrance, and his body was golden.

With so many examples, the subject must have understood that the founding emperors were born with visions of heaven and earth, and there are many similarities between the visions of heaven and earth of each person, which are obviously not seriously copied and directly copied by the predecessors during propaganda.

However, any emperor, especially the founding emperor, in order to prove that he has divine authority as a king, must have a vision different from that of mortals to prove that he is different. Let's take a look at the vision of heaven and earth recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty when Zhu Yuanzhang was born: "Mother Chen, Fang Pregnancy, Oneiroi gave a pill, until there is light in the palm, swallow it, sleep, the aroma of the mouth, and produce red light full of the room, since the night has a light, the neighbors see it, they are shocked to be on fire, and they rush to help, but there is nothing."

Probably means that Zhu Yuanzhang's mother, Chen, dreamed that a god gave him a pill, the pill was in his hand, and there was light, after Chen ate it, he gave birth to Zhu Yuanzhang, and when he gave birth, the house was full of red light, and from that day on, there was light scattering for several days and nights, and the neighbors saw it, thinking it was on fire, and they all went to help, but found that it was not on fire.

In fact, if you look at the vision of Zhu Wen, the Taizu of the Later Liang Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't know if he will be embarrassed: "On the top of the house, the red air is rising", the neighbors thought that the Zhu family was on fire, and they were ready to go to the Zhu family to fight the fire.

Then Zhu Wen, the Taizu of Liang, was the founding emperor of the Later Liang of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and was born hundreds of years earlier than Zhu Yuanzhang. and the emperors of other dynasties, such as the mother of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, "Dream into the Arms"; Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian was born with "purple gas filling the court"; When Tang Taizong Li Shimin was born, "there were two dragons playing outside the hall gate and leaving in three days".

Seeing this, everyone should also understand that the so-called vision of the emperor is just a political means to strengthen his divine authority and prove that he is the Son of Heaven. There are countless emperors who were born with visions recorded in the history books, but some of them are eloquent, some die in a lifetime, and even more incompetent, and even ambitious bandits rebel will claim that they have a strange appearance, and the so-called vision cannot prove anything, but it is just a feudal superstition such as the feudal era.
