Since ancient times, emperors have been ruthless, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was no exception in his later years. When he was alive, he was powerful and single-handedly created the glory of the Ming Dynasty, but in his later years, he ended up miserable.
Zhu Yuanzhang's health deteriorated in his later years, and his energy was not as good as before. Knowing that his rule could no longer be sustained, he decided to pass the throne to his grandson. This decision was not voluntary, but out of desperation. However, at the same time as the succession, he had to leave behind a monk's robe.
This monk's robe is not an ordinary monk's robe, but a style personally selected by Zhu Yuanzhang, incorporating his belief in Buddhism and expectations for future generations. The monk's robe symbolizes the transfer of imperial power, and also represents Zhu Yuanzhang's sustenance for the future of the Ming Dynasty.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang's later years were extremely miserable, he still maintained his belief in Buddhism and his concern for future generations. This monk's robe has become a symbol in the history of the Ming Dynasty and an important basis for future generations to study the culture and history of the Ming Dynasty.
Let us remember the old age of this great emperor, and at the same time let us sigh at the vicissitudes and ruthlessness of history. The history of the Ming Dynasty, like this monk's robe, is full of legends and stories.
