According to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang was originally a descendant of farmers in Pei County. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Daikin invaded the Central Plains, and Lao Zhu's family fled to Jinling with their wives and children. Later, because it was difficult to make a living in the local area, he moved to Xuyi and made a living by farming. Because of the difficulties of life, I later moved to Zhongli Dongxiang to settle down.
One legend is that ...
Since Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, the village where he was born has been honored as Zhaofu Village, also known as Ji Ling Village or Ji Ling Township.
According to historical rumors, when Zhu Yuanzhang was born, there were many auspicious phenomena. The night before he was born, his mother Chen dreamed that she was working in the south of the house. A Taoist priest with a long beard came from the northwest and took out a white pill from a pile of wheat bran in the yard and gave it to Chen. When Chen woke up, there was still a fragrance in his mouth. The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang was born in Erlang Temple. The hill next to Erlang Temple is also named Yuelonggang, also known as the dragon ridge of pregnancy.
