Prophecy and various myths and legends are a special phenomenon associated with Chinese history, and many prophecies are mysterious and mysterious, but in the end they are miraculously fulfilled, which makes people feel too magical. For example, when Liu Bang beheaded the White Snake Rebellion, the snake said that if you cut off my head, I will usurp the world of the first half of your dynasty, and if you cut off my tail, I will usurp the world of the second half of your dynasty. Liu Bang thought, the front can't be cut, the back can't be cut, then I will cut you off from the middle! So a knife cut the snake off from the middle.
However, what Liu Bang did not expect was that the white snake finally usurped the Liu family's world from the middle, and Wang Mang daihan, it is said that Wang Mang is the reincarnation of the white snake, so it is called "python". Not only did the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty have such a legend, but other emperors also had similar claims. For example, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty was once prophesied by the famous Taoist master Chen Zhuo Laozu.
Chen Zhuo is a very legendary figure among Chinese Taoist figures, he was born in 871 AD, but he lived for more than a hundred years, although he did not reach the realm of immortality, he can also be called immortal. Because he had the art of the old all-form, he experienced seven dynasties, namely the Tang Dynasty, the Later Liang, the Later Tang, the Later Jin, the Later Zhou, and the Northern Song Dynasty. Not only that, he was valued by the rulers of the time in all dynasties and generations, and even went to learn from him and ask for instructions.
In 888, Chen Zhuo, who was not yet twenty years old, was summoned by Emperor Tang and made him a "pure and vain virgin", and chai rong, a generation of British lords, Zhou Shizong, also asked him to become an official but did not succeed, gave him a title and let him leave. Emperor Taizong of Song summoned Chen Xuan several times and gave him the title of "Mr. Xiyi".
As a god-like being, Chen Zhuo's life is full of legends, and his relationship with the Song Dynasty is particularly close, and the cultural revival of the Song Dynasty is completely driven by Chen Zhuo alone.
It is said that the childhood of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi, the grandfather of the Song Dynasty, was not very lucky, when the Central Plains was in the Period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the world was in constant strife, men were strangled by war again and again, women were snatched by men, and the young Zhao Kuangyin's family also suffered disasters, at this time Zhao Kuangyin's mother Du Shi took him and his brother Zhao Guangyi to flee. In the war years, women were not as beautiful as they are now, and Zhao Kuangyin's mother was also very strong.
The two children walked relatively slowly on their own, but the war was about to sweep in, so Du Shi put the two brothers into two baskets, picked them up with flat shoulders, and then hurried to hurry. Although Chen Zhuo advocated quiet and inactive Taoism, he was also one of the heirs of the Chinese cultural context, one of the heirs of The Chinese Taoist system, the world was in chaos, he was also very anxious, and often had the ambition to save the world.
In order to find the true Lord of Destiny, Chen Xuanyun traveled all over the world, made many heroes, and saw many things, and also tested many of his theories with practice. On this day, he was walking in the mountains, but suddenly saw an extraordinary cloud coming from afar, Chen Zhuo was horrified, so he went forward to look for it, but saw a woman carrying two children to escape, he looked carefully at the two children, but it was as if two dragons were hovering there, very surprised.
So he inquired about Du's origins, and told her that you are now carrying two dragons, you must raise them well, and when they grow up, they can save the world from water and fire, Du Shi is very surprised, but he also attaches more importance to his two children, and often tells them about the rise and fall of the past and the future when educating them.
The two children were indeed extraordinary, and finally established the Song Dynasty.
