"Ming history? Ji Fang Yi Zhuan (Volume 299) records that Zhu Yuanzhang invited Zhong Zhang, a warlock, to offer sacrifices to Fengshen in his contest with Chen Youliang. Zhong Zhang, "Young scholars should not be the first, so we let the scenery go. Meet strangers, teach math, talk about fortune, and be curious. "
When Zhu Yuanzhang went to Nanchang, Deng Yu, the general manager of the army, recommended this man, and then Zhu Yuanzhang often took Zhong Zhang with him. When Chen Youliang besieged Nanchang, Zhu Yuanzhang went to crusade and puzzled Zhong Zhang. Zhong Zhang told Zhu Yuanzhang that the enemy generals would be captured within 50 days. Zhu Yuanzhang took him to war, and the warship went to the lonely mountain. Without the wind, it is impossible to move forward. Zhong Zhang "sacrificed it with the mysterious method of the cave, and the wind rose, so it reached Poyang." In the first world war, Zhu Yuanzhang defeated the enemy by 50,000, and Chen Youliang was killed by Liu Ya. Zhu Yuanzhang eliminated an important opponent for the country and laid the foundation of the country.
Zhu Yuanzhang was even superstitious enough to build a temple for a mast. Zhu Yunming, one of the four gifted scholars in Wuzhong in the Ming Dynasty, recorded the legend of that year in his unofficial history: When Zhu Yuanzhang was crossing the river, his boat was about to capsize and a mast saved his life. To this end, Zhu Yuanzhang enshrined the master and established a sacrificial system. This shrine is outside the Liangmen in the west of Nanjing. 140 years later, there are still people living next to the shrine. It is said that this is the descendant of the soldiers who punted for Zhu Yuanzhang.
Why did Zhu Yuanzhang believe in God so much? It is said to have something to do with a brand he painted when he joined the army. Amin writer Lang Ying wrote seven revised drafts, saying that when Zhu Yuanzhang was crossing the river, the mast was broken. He saw a piece of wood in a temple in Jiangdong, and he had to cut it down. When the master in the temple saw it, he asked Zhu Yuanzhang to draw a sign and see what it said. Then he got an inspiration: "Everything in the world has a master, and it is not advisable to be unjust." However, heroes are born and must follow the rules step by step. "Zhu Yuanzhang saw the brand and dared not cut it down again.
When Zhu Yuanzhang started construction, he was superstitious about sacrifice. Nowadays, the name of Zhonghua Gate in the south of Nanjing is a rising star, but it was originally called "Jubaomen" for decades. Why did you name the south gate of the capital? Xie Tiao, an Amin scholar, wrote Five Miscellanies? This statement is recorded in Dibu No.1, "Legend has it that it was built by Shen Wansan at the beginning of Hong Wu. Shen Zhifu was in the south of the Yangtze River, and Mao ordered the city to be built in the southeast, but the northwest failed, and Shen Gong was finished. Mao tried to kill it again and again. People say that their family has a cornucopia, so they can make a fortune. Shen Sui claimed that the basin was buried under the city gate to make the king angry, so it was famous. "
Burying someone else's cornucopia under their own door may be interesting to many people, but the following legend about Zhu Yuanzhang's sacrifice to God is not so romantic.
