Pictures drawn by Zhu Yuanzhang
Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang fought a decisive battle in Poyang Lake. Before the decisive battle, Chen Youliang moved the ancestral grave to a treasure trove of geomantic omen and destroyed Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral grave. So under the influence of Feng Shui, Zhu Yuanzhang was defeated and almost lost his life.
Back home, Zhu Yuanzhang rallied and wanted to fight Chen Youliang again, but military Liu Bowen said that if you go now, you will still fail. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know the reason, so he asked him what was going on. Liu Bowen said, your ancestral grave is not good at geomantic omen, so you can't beat Chen Youliang. I took a good picture of your ancestral grave, but you need to bury the people you love in it.
Zhu Yuanzhang said that his ancestral grave was gone and there was no way out. Liu Bowen said he could bury his old mother, but Zhu Yuanzhang disagreed. Zhu Yuanzhang's mother learned about it at home and said it was easy. You only need to build a tomb, so Zhu Yuanzhang took her mother's advice and built a cemetery.
Then his mother came and said that she had one of his father's bones and wanted to put it in the tomb herself. Zhu Yuanzhang agreed. But for a long time, my mother didn't come out and went in to see that she was dead. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang buried his mother here, and later won the world with the wind.
Zhu Yuanzhang buried his mother alive is a legend, not a historical fact. Because history records that Zhu Yuanzhang's parents died of plague when he was very young, when he was a child, all these absurd legends are false, and there is no saying that Zhu Yuanzhang buried his mother alive.
Legend about Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang was the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty and was called Ming Taizu in history. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in Zhongli, Haozhou, which is now Fengyang County, Anhui Province. His family has been farming for generations. Later, he joined the Red Scarf Army to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, established the Ming Dynasty, and became emperor for thirty-one years.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang was the first real poor uprising in history, there are many legends about Zhu Yuanzhang. Among these legends, the thing about his birth time is the most magical.
Legend has it that one day before Zhu Yuanzhang was born, his mother Chen was sitting in the wheat field doing farm work and saw a Taoist coming to her from a distance. The Taoist priest looks like a saint, with a long beard, a hairpin crown on his head, red clothes and an elephant in his hand.
This one didn't talk to Zhu Yuanzhang's mother, but sat in the middle of the wheat field, holding Jane the elephant in his hand and fiddling with one of his white pills. Zhu Yuanzhang's mother, Chen, was very curious and asked who this Taoist was. The sage-like old Taoist replied, this is Da Dan.
His mother had never seen it before, which was very strange, so the old Taoist said, if you want it, I'll give you one. So Chen took the big Dan by hand, and the more he watched it, the more he liked it, and accidentally swallowed it. Just after Zhu Yuanzhang's mother swallowed Da Dan, the Taoist suddenly disappeared.
Shortly after Zhu Yuanzhang was born, it is said that after he was born, a stream of white gas floated from the southeast. This white gas runs around the house, and it has a very strange smell, which has not dispersed all night. Of course, this is just a legend about Zhu Yuanzhang, which is not credible. In order to publicize the divine right of monarchy, ancient emperors usually find such a statement for their origins.
Introduction to Zhu Yuanzhang Zhu Yuanzhang was the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, that is, Ming Taizu, whose original name was Zhu Chongba, whose real name was Guo Rui. Li Zhongsheng of Zhou Hao was born in 1328, and finally died on June 24th 1398, and was buried in the Ming Tombs.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was very young, he thought that the landlord was herding cattle for a living. Later, in order to survive, he entered the temple at that time and became a monk. At that time, there happened to be uprisings in various places, and the people opposed the tyrannical rule of the Yuan Dynasty. After staying in the temple for a period of time, Zhu Yuanzhang resolutely joined the ranks of the rebels. It was at this time that he met his future wife, Ma Huanghou. Ma Huanghou's father is the leader of a rebel army. He admired Zhu Yuanzhang so much that he married his daughter and gave him all his uprising strength after his death. Zhu Yuanzhang also lived up to expectations, and finally stood out from all the uprising troops, defeated Chen Youliang, became a generation of emperors, and established the Ming Dynasty.
After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he strengthened political centralization. Because he grew up in the countryside when he was young, he knew the influence of corrupt officials on the people, so he attached great importance to official management and vowed to eliminate corrupt officials all over the world. In criminal law, Zhu Yuanzhang established the principle of heavy punishment for felony and light punishment for misdemeanor. Economically, Zhu Yuanzhang also vigorously rectified, changed the chaotic monetary and economic situation in the Yuan Dynasty, and achieved stable and coordinated economic development. At the same time, he paid attention to tax reduction, which greatly reduced the burden on the people and finally created the prosperity of Hongwu rule. This is a brief introduction to Zhu Yuanzhang's life
Zhu Yuanzhang made extraordinary achievements in his life, but he was also very suspicious, and many officials were afraid of him. Zhu Yuanzhang was buried in the Ming tombs after his death, and later generations paid tribute to him.
Zhu Yuanzhang's father Zhu Yuanzhang's father, formerly known as Zhu, was born in Jurong at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, Ming Renzu.

According to historical records, it is impossible for * * * in Yuan Dynasty to have his own name if he didn't go to school. They are all named after their parents' age or the date after birth. This is also the origin of the name of Zhu May 4th, the father of Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang's original name is not this. Its original name was Zhu Chongba. Later, he fled to Guo Zixing because of the uprising. He felt that his name was not atmospheric enough, so he changed his name to Zhu Yuanzhang, meaning that he was a weapon to destroy Yuan. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang also helped his father change his name to Zhu Shizhen.
Zhu Yuanzhang's father only got Zhu Yuanzhang at the age of 50, and later moved to Zhongli County, Haozhou to settle down. Due to the poor living conditions at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was in poor health, malnourished and often prone to illness. Because Zhu Yuanzhang's parents are uneducated and superstitious, they think that only Master Guanyin can save Zhu Yuanzhang, so when he was very young, he was sent to Huang Jue Temple to worship the old monk as a teacher. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's life in the temple is not satisfactory, and he is often bullied. Later, he couldn't hold on any longer and fled back. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang's father had to move back home to escape forced labor. Zhu Yuanzhang was only ten years old at that time. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang's father was forced to farm for the landlord in Taiping Township, and Zhu Yuanzhang became a cowherd.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's luck is very good. When he was herding cattle, he met his friends Xu Da, Tanghe, Zhou Dexing and others who later opened up territory for him. They made great contributions to Zhu Yuanzhang's road to the emperor and became the later founding fathers.
When Zhu Yuanzhang 17 years old, a very serious drought and insect disaster occurred in his hometown. Zhu Yuanzhang's father, mother and eldest brother all died in this disaster.
Where is Zhu Yuanzhang from?

At the end of Yuan Dynasty, an uprising broke through the imperial capital and ascended the throne. Zhu Yuanzhang's queen is the famous Bigfoot Ma Huanghou. Zhu Yuanzhang was buried in the mausoleum of Ming Chengzu after his death.

So where is Zhu Yuanzhang from? According to the relevant materials and written records left by the ancients, we know that Zhu Yuanzhang is now from Fengyang County, Chuzhou City, Anhui Province. People in Fengyang county may not know it, but people in Xiaogang village must be very clear. Xiaogang Village is a village in Fengyang County. Fengyang Flower Drum is also well known. It is said that this Fengyang Flower Drum was begging in the street when people in Fengyang County had a hard time at the end of Yuan Dynasty, and then the girls danced this dance to gain sympathy. It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang was very sad after seeing it. Later, in order to make his hometown prosperous, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to set the capital here, but ministers tried their best to stop it, but the moat and related cities were also built in half.
Everyone knows that Zhu Yuanzhang used to be a monk for a while, so where did he become a monk? It is his hometown Longxing Ancient Temple in Fengyang County, and it is also a famous scenic spot and national scenic spot in Fengyang County. Zhu Yuanzhang's parents were also buried in Fengyang County, which is now Ming Taizu Mausoleum. A song handed down in Fengyang County begins with "Fengyang Road Fengyang is a good place, and it has been rich for nine years since Zhu Yuanzhang was born ten years ago". From here, we also get the answer where Zhu Yuanzhang came from.
Zhu Yuanzhang worked hard all his life. Even when he became emperor, he was one of the most diligent emperors and made outstanding contributions to the development of Fengyang County in his hometown.
Zhu Yuanzhang's Empress Zhu Yuanzhang's Empress is Bigfoot Ma Huanghou, that is, Empress Xiaocigao. Born in Suzhou, Guide House, A.D. 1332, died in A.D. 1382, and was buried in the Ming Tombs. Empress Xiao Cigao is Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, which influenced Zhu Yuanzhang's life.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is not like Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, he and Ma Shi are also very loving. Ma Shi and Zhu Yuanzhang met during Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising. It can be said that the Queen and Zhu Yuanzhang made great contributions to the Northern Expedition. Her big feet were very rare at that time, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mind. A pair of big feet was still good at that time, at least it wouldn't drag down his man. As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, Ma Shi was made queen and her son was made prince. It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang respects and loves her. Zhu Yuanzhang tried many times to seal Ma as a clan, but Ma refused.
Ma Shi, the queen of Zhu Yuanzhang, is also a very diligent person. She led ladies-in-waiting and princesses to knit together, and her personal life was often poor, which was highly respected by ministers. Ma also often intercedes with Zhu Yuanzhang, hoping that Zhu Yuanzhang can calm down and often return to her when Zhu Yuanzhang is furious, because only he can calm down. Politically, Ma Huanghou occasionally gives Zhu Yuanzhang some constructive suggestions, which will give him a sense of enlightenment. After Ma Huanghou's death, Zhu Yuanzhang's temper began to fail to converge, and he became tyrannical and even courtiers killed him with a stick, which shows the importance of Ma Huanghou.
Ma Shi, the queen of Zhu Yuanzhang, is a virtuous queen. There are many novels about her in later generations, all of which praise her.
