The miracle of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang

I've been reading Hanshu recently, and I just finished reading Biography of Emperor Gao (I). The first few parts of this part recorded some myths about Liu Bang. I find it very interesting. I think every emperor, especially the founding emperor, must be full of sacred colors in the eyes of previous people. This reminds me of our fairy tales and divine right. I like stories, and I also like these interesting legends.

First of all, the magic of birth

? At the beginning of Chronicle of Emperor Gaudi, the extraordinary life story of Liu Bang, the emperor of Han Dynasty, was told. According to legend, Liu Bang's mother rested and slept by the dike pond and met a fairy in her dream. At this time, there was lightning and thunder. When his father went to find his mother, he saw a dragon on her and soon got pregnant. Later, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang was born. This birth already has the power of God, laying the foundation for its special life.

Second, the face is very strange

? The ancients emphasized looking at faces. What about the face of Emperor Gaozu? The book says: "Gaozu is a man, long and accurate, long and beautiful, with 72 spots on the left." His special personality made Lv Gong marry his daughter, later Lv Hou, to Liu Bang. At that time, Liu Bang was still a penniless kiosk manager and said congratulations to Qian Wan.

One more thing. Once, an old father looked at his great-grandfather and said to him, "Your wife and son will be rich because of you in the future. Your face is extremely noble! " Gaozu was very happy at that time. Said to my father, "If it's like you said, I won't forget your kindness." According to legend, when Gaozu really became the richest man, he couldn't find the old gentleman!

Third, things are very strange.

The book says that Gaozu liked drinking when he was young, and he had no money. He often goes to Wang Wei and Five Blessingg to buy wine on credit, that is, he owes money to buy wine. At that time, I owed money, so I left a deed coupon made of bamboo slips. Gaozu is drunk every time he drinks, and often gets drunk. Moreover, Wang Wei and Wu Fu often see dragons on him, which makes them feel weird! By the end of the year, they have broken the bill for drinking on credit, so don't ask him for money!

? Later, on one occasion, Gaozu escorted laborers to Mount Li. Many workers escaped on the way. When he arrived in Fengxi, at night, he released the rest of the people and planned to run for his life. A dozen people will follow him. Gaozu was happy and took people to drink. Drunk again. At this time, a man came to report: "No, there is a big snake in front, come back quickly!" " "Gaozu shouted drunkenly," What's the big shot to be afraid of! " He went straight ahead, drew his sword and split the snake in two! They walked on. Later, someone went to the place where Gaozu cut the snake and found an old woman crying. The old woman cried that her son had been killed. This snake is her son, Bai Di's son. He turned into a snake, blocked the way and was killed by Chi Di's son. At this point, Gaozu has another identity as a god: the son of Chi Di. So the latter rose up and raised the red flag. Emperor gaozu's snake-cutting uprising.

? Qin Shihuang always said that there was an emperor in the southeast, so he traveled eastward to suppress it. Gaozu always hides in the mountains. Lv Hou can always find him. Gaozu felt very strange and asked her how she found herself. Lv Hou said to him, It's always cloudy where you live. Follow it, and you will be found! Hearing this, Gaozu was very happy. People in Pei Di have heard that more and more people want to follow him!

? Ancient emperors must have divinity! These legends are conducive to spreading, increasing mystery and enhancing the rationality of public opinion. So smart and interesting.
