Predicting the "Battle of Jingnan" is evidenced by poetry
The world says: Zhuge Liang, who is divided into three parts of the world, and Liu Bowen, who unifies the country and mountains.
Liu Bowen's mythological stories are more mysterious than one, and the most bizarre of them is the story of Liu Bowen's slashing of the dragon vein in the world.
It is said that Liu Bowen cut off 99 dragon veins in the world for Zhu Yuanzhang, but when he reached changbai mountain to cut the last dragon vein, he suddenly turned his head and left.
So many people are very curious about this story, what is dragon vein? What did Liu Bowen chop? And why did he turn away when there was only the last dragon vein left?
To talk about where the legend of Liu Bowen is bizarre, from his birth, there have been gods and immortals to help:
It is said that in Liu Bowen's father's generation, because the family was very poor and life was very difficult, he did not expect to be able to give birth to any sons.
However, one day, a strange thing happened:
A Taoist monk from nowhere suddenly found Liu Bowen's father and said that there was a place with excellent feng shui somewhere, and as long as the ancestral tomb was moved here, a prime minister could appear in his family in the future.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Daoist priest turned into a crane and flew away.
Do you think that's already bizarre? It's not over yet.
His father listened to the crane's words and moved the tomb overnight, so on the night of the full moon, Liu Bowen landed in the human world on a dragon.
The legend of Liu Bowen's birth is only the beginning, in addition, Liu Bowen's prediction of the "Battle of Jingnan" is also false and true.
It is said that one day, after Liu Bowen watched the stars at night, he suddenly asked Zhu Yuanzhang to strengthen the city wall, and Zhu Yuanzhang felt very strange, obviously he had just renovated the city wall not long ago, why did he suddenly have to renovate it again now?
Liu Bowen's explanation for this is that although the current city wall is indeed indestructible, if there are swallows flying in, the city wall is still easy to be destroyed.
This sentence made people confused, and originally Zhu Yuanzhang did not pay too much attention to it, but liu Bowen repeatedly stressed the reinforcement of the city wall, and Zhu Yuanzhang had to start supervising the fortifications.
As long as there is a corner that is not qualified, Liu Bowen ordered the workers to demolish and rebuild it all, in short, to make the city wall impregnable.
Because of the construction of the city wall, Liu Bowen also has a poem circulated in the world:
The royal driver of this city is full of pro-conquest, and the courtyard of Jiangshan Yongleping;
The bald man wrote the ink garden, and the hero half returned home.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not understand the matter of building the city wall until his death, but when Zhu Yunjiao succeeded to the throne, the occurrence of the "Battle of Jingnan" made people suddenly understand Liu Bowen's original behavior.
Zhu Di's title is "King of Yan", the poem says "a courtyard of Jiangshan Yongleping", swallows flew to the city wall, Yongle Emperor can not pacify Jiangshan?
In addition to the accuracy of Liu Bowen's predictions, his unforgettable skills are also passed on to the gods.
It is said that Liu Bowen once flipped through a book in a bookstore, which was a book about astronomy, and he could recite it word for word just by flipping through it quickly.
The shopkeeper could not help but be impressed when he saw such a talent, so he wanted to give him the book, but who knew that Liu Bowen said: "The book is already in the heart, what is the use of taking it?" ”
Based on Liu Bowen's legendary stories, it is too strange, so it seems that Liu Bowen can cut the dragon vein, which is not a very strange thing.
Because this is not something that normal people can do.
How exactly did the Dragon Vein chop?
To say why Liu Bowen wanted to cut the dragon vein for Zhu Yuanzhang, it should start from a dream that Zhu Yuanzhang had when he was napping:
Once, when Zhu Yuanzhang was taking a nap, he dreamed that there was a dragon vein that was about to be born with a true dragon tianzi who wanted to seize the world of the Zhu family, and Zhu Yuanzhang was frightened and sweaty after waking up, so he hurriedly summoned the minister to discuss countermeasures.
It is also because of this incident that Zhu Yuanzhang firmly believes that the dragon vein can give birth to a new Son of Heaven.
Originally, ancient times were very religious, since ancient times, the emperor also called himself "True Dragon Heavenly Son", coupled with this dream prompt, it is understandable that Zhu Yuanzhang caused panic.
In order to cut off all the possibilities of the dragon vein giving birth to a new emperor, he wanted to send someone to cut off all the dragon veins in the world, looking at the Manchu Dynasty, if you want to say who has the courage and ability, it is naturally Liu Bowen.
Many people are curious, what exactly is Dragon Vein?
In fact, the so-called dragon vein is certainly not a real dragon, but some special mountain terrain.
Ancient feng shui believed that the dragon is the geographical vein, and the soil is the dragon's flesh, the river is the dragon's blood, the mountain stone is the keel, and those undulating ridges are like a dragon lying in the mountains, which is the legendary dragon vein.
Then the so-called dragon vein is to destroy the terrain of this ridge, such as building some buildings here and destroying the integrity of the terrain, which is the legendary dragon vein.
There are many dragon veins in Chinese legends, and each dynasty has at least one of its own dragon veins, such as the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty in Fengyang, Anhui.
It is said that liu Bowen's most divine thing is that he can accurately distinguish where the dragon vein is, and after cutting off the dragon vein, there is really dragon blood coming out.
Of course, this so-called dragon's blood is really exaggerated, which must have an exaggerated legendary component, and the so-called dragon's blood is just that people dig out the dark red soil when they excavate the land.
So let's take a look at how Liu Bowen cut the dragon vein.
The first dragon vein that Liu Bowen found was in Wuxi Mountain, and after he went to Wuxi to investigate the local area, he said to the people: The soil here is not ordinary, if it is made into a clay man, the imperial court will buy it.
As soon as the local people heard of this kind of good deed, they rushed to dig up the soil and pinch the mud people, and over time, more and more soil was dug up above the dragon vein.
We know that the soil is the flesh and blood of the dragon, and the less the soil is, the weaker the dragon becomes, and then he digs a well above the dragon vein, making the dragon vein completely dead.
The second dragon vein was found in Lanzhou, Gansu. There is a place called Gaolan Mountain in Lanzhou, where the trend of mountains and rivers is winding and undulating, after Liu Bowen found that this is a dragon vein, he set up a dragon pier in four directions in the position of the dragon head, so that the dragon vein can be pressed to death.
In addition, the rest of the dragon veins are cut according to the terrain, for example, some dragon veins are steaming, connecting mountains and rivers, and Liu Bowen digs in the middle of the dragon's back to vent the dragon qi.
Liu Bowen led his squad to cut off one dragon vein after another, including the dragon veins of Kunlun Mountain, Mount Emei, Taihang Mountain and other places.
After this, folk legends, such as Wuxi, Lanzhou and other places, since the Ming Dynasty, there have been no particularly brilliant figures, all because Liu Bowen cut off the dragon vein.
The last uncut dragon vein rebelled against the Ming Dynasty
Liu Bowen traveled all over the world, cutting off 99 dragon veins intermittently for Zhu Yuanzhang, and the last remaining dragon vein was in Changbai Mountain.
However, Liu Bowen had already set foot on the land of Changbai Mountain, but instead he gave up, why was this?
Liu Bowen's slashing of the Dragon Vein was originally against the Heavenly Dao, so he also knew that he would have been punished by Heaven long ago, but what he didn't expect was that Heaven's punishment would come sooner than he thought.
Not long after Liu Bowen and his party set foot on the land in the northeast, the weather suddenly changed suddenly, followed by a fierce snowstorm, and for a while, more than half of the people in the team fell ill.
Liu Bowen immediately felt that this was Tiangong's anger and began to punish him, he thought it was still important to save his life, so he immediately ordered the team to go back and no longer cut this dragon vein.
And this is the reason why Liu Bowen's last dragon vein is left, but he is willing to lose everything.
I don't know if Liu Bowen's slashing of the dragon vein was really punished by heaven, not only did he himself eventually die, but his sons also failed to die.
Liu Bowen was haunted by myths all his life, but in the end he died under a glass of poisonous wine by Hu Weiyong, and liu Bowen's two sons also died tragically.
After his death, his eldest son Liu Lian was also persecuted by Hu Weiyong and eventually threw himself into a well, and his second son Liu Jing was resolutely not to surrender Zhu Di because he suffered the Battle of Jingnan, so he was sent to a large prison, and finally tortured to death in prison.
Such a tragic ending may itself carry the meaning of some causal cycles.
Many years later, the Ming Dynasty gradually declined and went to extinction, at this time, a team rose from the northeast, and the source of this team happened to be in Changbai Mountain.
The story of Liu Bowen's slashing of the dragon vein also confirms the fact of the rise of the Manchus.
After Liu Bowen cut the dragon vein, he also predicted a prophecy for Zhu Yuanzhang, about the national fortunes of Daming.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen: "When Jiang Taigong was able to measure the 800-year national fortune of the Zhou Dynasty, can you also measure the national fortune of my Daming?" ”
Liu Bowen said a sentence: "800 years is too much, 300 years is too little." ”
The meaning of this sentence is that if the Zhu family fights for at least 800 years, if the Zhu family does not fight for qi, 300 years is a lot.
In fact, this sentence is a great rebellion, which when the courtiers are not shouting "Long live our emperor", Liu Bowen is "cursing" Daming's national fortunes for only a few hundred years.
However, in fact, Liu Bowen was really right, Daming only existed for 276 years before the gas was exhausted.
Of course, these legends about Liu Bowen's body, which have been more than 600 years, naturally have a lot of exaggerated components, so this kind of thing is just "benevolent people seeing benevolence, wise people seeing wisdom".
There are also many people who say that the theory of feng shui is mysterious and mysterious, we cannot be very sure that this matter is false, so for many of the ancients' feng shui and ghosts and gods, what we can do is to hold a reverential mentality, look at it objectively, not superstitious, not rumor-mongering.
So how much credibility do you think there is in the legend of Liu Bowen's slashing of the dragon vein? Have you heard the legend of Liu Bowen's slashing of the dragon vein in your hometown?
