Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was born into poverty, once herded cattle, and became a monk. Later, he joined the rebel army and eventually established the Ming Dynasty, which enjoyed the country for 276 years. Nowadays, many people in the workplace always take Zhu Yuanzhang as an example, because he has too many things to learn.
Zhu Yuanzhang was greatly admired by posterity, and people always had a question. Zhu Yuanzhang did not go to school and was semi-illiterate. How could he have such a high level of military attainment on the battlefield? This is a question. Zhu Yuanzhang's family situation cannot be described as poor, and going to school is something that dare not be imagined. So what's the secret to his success?
We simply think that Zhu Yuanzhang has no culture, which is also wrong. Zhu Yuanzhang had an excellent habit, or a kind of paranoia, that is, he was keen on reading, so hungry that he forgot to eat.
After the uprising, Zhu Yuanzhang would read books when he had time, even during the Western Expedition. In modern parlance, Zhu Yuanzhang is a typical representative of self-taught talent. He told us that anything is possible. The "Ming History Chronicle" records Zhu Yuanzhang's reading, "I am in the middle of the line, and I can't stop reading." The founding military scholar Liu Bowen praised Zhu Yuanzhang's love of reading, saying: "Concentrate on the mind (when reading), and meditate on the ultimate way."
The articles written by Zhu Yuan are even more "majestic, the writing is flowing, the purpose is far-reaching, and the hope is like a spring." In an instant, the smoke clouds were full of paper, and the Yangtze River had the potential to fall thousands of miles. Zhu Yuanzhang not only loves to read, but also has a high level of poetry writing. For example, as early as the time of conquering Chen Youyu, he wrote a seven-character poem "Asking Chen Guo Xiaoxiang", "Ma Du Jiangtou Alfalfa Incense, Cloud And Rain Crossing Xiao Xiang." The east wind awakens the hero's dream, not Xianyang is Luoyang. ”
What a poem. Another time, Zhu Yuanzhang came to a temple as King Wu, and the monks questioned who it was? Who knows, as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, he sang: "Kill all the million soldiers in Jiangnan, and the sword around your waist is still bloody." The mountain monk did not know the hero and only asked for his name. "Due to the perennial conquest of the battlefield, coupled with the personality of reading as fate, Zhu Yuanzhang has cultivated super determination and courage. Knowledge gave Zhu Yuanzhang strong self-confidence, which was the key to success.
