Birth is intertwined with dreams.
Zhang, born in the fourth year of Ming Jiajing (1525), was born in jiangling county, then in Jingzhou prefecture (now Jingzhou city). In ancient China, the birth of great men has always been described as absurd, such as red light filled the room, purple gas filled the room, and dragons possessed them. Zhang is no exception. His birth was described as unusual.
About Zhang's good omen before and after his birth, the following points are explained and analyzed:
1. Legend has it that Zhang's mother, Zhao, saw her room suddenly light up one night, and a fire burst into the sky. At this time, a boy from Tsing Yi fell from the sky and walked around Zhao's bed. So, Zhao got pregnant and later gave birth to Zhang.
I feel that this legend is simply "when the child falls from the sky, Zhao's mother will be pregnant"! 2. According to Zhang's son Zhang's History of Wenzhong Palace Punishment, Zhang's mother Zhao was pregnant 12 months before giving birth to Zhang, which was considered as a symbol of wealth at that time. Because of this record, many scholars agree with this statement. Although predecessors agreed with this, people today should not be ignorant of the truth. In order to explain the impossibility of this record, let me briefly popularize medical knowledge: pregnancy is also called pregnancy (rèn shēn), and the normal pregnancy period of human beings is about 40 weeks, that is, about 280 days is the normal pregnancy time. If the fetus has not been born after 42 weeks of pregnancy, it is an overdue pregnancy. In other words, it is abnormal that the mother has not given birth to the fetus two weeks after the expected date of delivery. What are the hazards of overdue pregnancy? Two weeks after the expected date of delivery, maternal reproductive function deteriorated rapidly. The specific manifestations are: the placental function that provides nutrition and oxygen for the fetus is insufficient, and the amniotic fluid is greatly reduced. This will often lead to mental retardation or even mental retardation of the fetus with overdue pregnancy, and will also induce a rapid increase in the incidence of fetal diseases. And the longer the overdue pregnancy, the more likely it is to cause dystocia and stillbirth. With modern medical conditions, as long as the unborn fetus is found two weeks after the expected date of delivery, it will be "ripe and ripe, and it is necessary to pick it at the right time." Generally speaking, it is necessary to arrange cesarean section immediately to terminate pregnancy and take out the fetus. It can be seen that this will happen more than 2 weeks after the expected date of delivery, and how did your mother get pregnant 12 months (more than 2 months after the expected date of delivery) and give birth to a living and intellectually developed Zhang? Therefore, whether you believe it or not, Zhao was pregnant 12 months and gave birth to Zhang. I don't believe it anyway.
According to Zhang, just before Zhang was born, Zhang's grandfather had a dream. He dreamed that there was a flood everywhere, which flowed all over the room. In the dream, Jang Jin asked his servant where the water came from. The servant's answer was that the water flowed from Zhang Shaobao's field.
What is Shao Bao? Shaobao is an ancient official name. In the Ming Dynasty, the official position of Shaobao came from one product, but among Zhang's ancestors, the highest official position they ever held was only a thousand households (positive five products). Think like this, this dream of Zhang's grandfather is likely to indicate that the Zhang family is going to get ahead! The ancestral grave is going to smoke!
According to Zhang's records, before Zhang was born, Zhang's great-grandfather Zhang also had a dream. He dreamed that the moon fell into the jar, and then a white turtle floated up from the jar.
The above four stories are about Zhang's auspicious birth. Personally, I think the fourth story may be the most true. This is because when Zhang was young (12 years old), his name was not Zhang, but Gui. Because of a dream of great-grandfather Mr. Zhang Cheng, Zhang's nickname is Gui, and his homonym is White Turtle.
Anyway, Zhang's birth is an indisputable fact, and his birth has also brought great hope to the Zhang family. Speaking of the Zhang family, what did Zhang's ancestors do?
About Zhang's ancestor, we can find a person named Zhang in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. When he was in Zhang Congjun, he was a soldier under Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor. After a battle, he made great achievements and was sealed as a thousand households. What exactly is a thousand households? Thousands of households are the product of the military system of hospitals in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, in terms of military establishment and training, 5,000 households were organized as one guard, 5,600 people were in charge of one guard, and 1 120 was 1,000 households. Thousands of households are in charge of 1 120 people, which is roughly equivalent to today's regimental officers. Zhang's position of thousands of troops and horses can be inherited. As long as he has descendants, he can inherit the position of thousands of troops.
Zhang's great-grandson is Rizo, and Rizo is Zhang's great-grandfather. But Mr. Zhang was the second son of the Zhang family at that time, so the honor of hereditary thousand households had nothing to do with Mr. Zhang.
Mr Zhang has three sons, and Zhang's grandfather is the second. Mr. Zhang's eldest son does business and his third son goes to school. Only the second son, Jang Jin, is an unemployed young man who idles all day, but Mr. Zhang dotes on this son. Later, Jang Jin got a job as a guard in the Liao Palace in Jiangling, but he died of this job, which will be mentioned in the following chapters.
Jang Jin's son is Zhang Wenming. This name is quite civilized, like a literate person, but it is not worthy of the name. Zhang Wenming took part in many imperial examinations and seven provincial examinations, but he didn't even have a juren. After 40 years of study, Zhang Wenming finally gave up the imperial examination. It is said that Zhang Wenming's desire to be an official is unrealistic, and his examination level is not satisfactory. However, his desire to be an official was realized by his son Zhang. In a sense, there were successors, and Zhang Wenming got what he wanted.
The reality is that Gui (Zhang) was born in the ardent hope of the whole family and began his extraordinary life journey!

Japanese Warring States Period: Tiger Father
Compared with Zhang, Nobuyuki Oda was born without so many dreams. However, surprisingly, Nobunaga can proudly declare: "My father is a tiger!" " "
Why do you say that?
It turns out that Nobunaga's father is Nobunaga, and Nobunaga's nickname is "Tiger of Tail Zhang".
Speaking of tail Zhang Zhihu, first of all, let's explain what tail Zhang is. Zhang Wei is a place name in ancient Japan. The details are as follows: The ancient territory of Japan was divided into sixty-six countries (also called sixty-six states), and Wei Zhangguo was one of them, which was located in the south-central coastal area of Honshu Island, Japan. Wei is located in the thick-tailed plain, with fertile land and developed shipping, and is a relatively rich area.
The Tiger of Andy, as its name implies, is a tiger-like figure in Andy. What are the advantages of Nobunaga, who has this famous nickname?
When Nobuhiko Oda took over the baton of his father's career, he only held a small part of Wei Guoli's territory. The "running speed" of Oda Shinoda's career is really amazing. Through his tough style and ruthless means, he gradually condescended to make his strength and status above his family, and occupied a lot of territory in Wei State. Oda nobuyuki emerged like a tiger and became a vassal occupying one side. People saw the behavior of Noda Oda, whose wrist was bloody, and called it the Tiger of Andy.
Nobuyuki ODA, the son of a tiger, was born in troubled times in Japan. In the third year of Japanese astronomy (1534), Nobuo Oda fell to the ground. Because Nobunaga's mother is his father's wife, Nobunaga, as the youngest son in the family, has obtained the inheritance right of his father's career.
After Oda Nobunaga was born, he got the nickname "Master Ji". The birth name in ancient Japan refers to the name used before the adult ceremony. As soon as Nonaga Oda was born, he directly faced the Japanese Warring States period, which was a drastic social change trend. He was born in a vassal's family and gradually showed his exuberant vitality!
