Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty (161 – June 10, 223), of Han ethnicity, also spelled Xuande, was a native of Zhuo County (涿郡, in present-day Zhuozhou, Hebei Province), and after Liu Sheng, the King of Zhongshan jing in the Western Han Dynasty, was the founding emperor and statesman of the Shu Han Dynasty. Historians call him the Ancestor.
Legend has it that before Liu Bei was born, his family had three people: grandfather, father and mother. Grandpa was a county commander in Fan County, and his father was frail and sickly, and his life at home was all dependent on his mother to manage inside and outside.
This year was a year of torrential rains, ponds flooding, rivers rushing, and a flood washed away his home, and there was nothing left. The couple had no livelihood and had to run to their grandfather, who was an official. The old man was an official, and his savings were limited, so when he saw that his daughter-in-law was pregnant, he gave all his savings to the couple, so that they could quickly return to their hometown to settle down.
The two left Fan County and headed north. Walking, walking, not a day, passing through a village, an inquiry, has entered the zhuoxian boundary. The two of them are happy and worried, happy to have returned to their hometown, sad that there is nothing at home, where to rebuild their homes? I was walking when I heard a small child singing a song
To ask where to stay, walk quickly north, see the tree car, meet the cow on the house, the shoes on the foot are seven pounds and nine pounds, and settle down without worry
The two men felt like they were telling them where to go, and they wanted to ask for clarification. Looking up, the child was gone.
Pondering the songs he sang, what trees and cars, what cattle on the house, what shoes were seven pounds and nine pounds, I couldn't figure out what it meant. I thought I would hurry up no matter what. Seeing that there was another village in front of them, at this time, it was raining, and the wife was pregnant, and it was inconvenient to move, but the road was very slippery, and the two of them could not help but shed tears. Just then, I suddenly saw a cow running up the slope of the earth on the front, and below it was a stooped tree next to a cave where people lived, and an old spinning wheel hanging from the tree. "Isn't this just a cow in the house and a cart on the tree?" He looked down at his shoes again, and there was mud and water on them, which had simply become an adobe head, not to mention that there were more than seven pounds of more than a mile of surprise, thinking that it was the guidance of the strangers who told them to come here and settle down. Just thinking about it, the owner of the cave came out, asked about the situation, and when he saw that the couple was strange and pitiful, he pointed to the hut next to him and said, "If you don't want to abandon it, just live in it!" The couple thanked him and stayed.
That night, the owner of the cave suddenly saw the hut outside, and it was like a fire, and it was a red light. When I hurried to look closely, I saw that the hut was good, there was no fire, only to feel that the hut was full of smell, and the cries of children were heard, and it was clear that a baby had fallen to the ground. This child is Liu Bei. The master had heard that all the great nobles were born, often like this, so they did not dare to be sloppy, sent them rice and noodles, and took good care of them. The couple took Xiao Liu Bei and settled down here.
When Liu Bei was still very young, his grandfather and father died one after another, leaving only their mother and son to rely on each other. Their family was outside the village, the yard was connected to the crop field, and a mulberry tree grew on the ground, and the branches were thick and leafy like a large umbrella. This year, Mai Qiu, my mother put the sleeping little Liu Bei in the shade of the tree and went to pick up the ears of wheat. She picked up this ear and looked at the ear past this field, and then to that field, and before she knew it, the sun was far to the west, and the ear of wheat was full of a basket, and her own milk was soaked with the placket. Suddenly remembering the child under the tree, she rushed back to the bottom of the mulberry tree to take a look, and it was strange: although the sun was tilted to the west, the thick shade of the tree was still in the same place, and the child was still sleeping there. She quickly picked him up, and the shade of the tree suddenly turned to the northeast side of the tree.
This mulberry tree is so amazing, it grows tall and big, people call this village "Big Tree Lou Sang" village.
