Liu Bowen sesame seed cake fortune telling

Among the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, I wonder if you have ever heard of a man of God named Liu Bowen. At that time, he was the most proficient in the art of war and tactics, and was not inferior to Zhuge Liang among the people. You know, in historical records, he is not only a founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, but also a hero in the military, political and literary fields.

But it is such a big celebrity who died with a bite of sesame seed cake in his mouth. Why on earth? It turned out to be related to a prophecy 800 years ago. First, let's get to know Liu Bowen. 13 1 1 was born in an official family. Because of his good family conditions, he received a good tutor from an early age.

During the period from Yuan Mingzong to Shunnian, Liu Bowen was admitted to the Jinshi through his own study and hard work, thus becoming an official from the Yuan Dynasty, but the good times did not last long. Because of the darkness and incompetence of the Yuan government, he was frustrated everywhere in the officialdom and failed to realize his ambition, so he chose not to be an official and retired from the mountains.

It was not until A.D. 1360 that Zhu Yuanzhang selected him and invited him out of the mountain. Because he and Zhu Yuanzhang had the same ambition, Liu Bowen agreed to his request. Not only that, he also helped Zhu Yuanzhang analyze the world situation. In this way, Liu Bowen is a "comeback". Later, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the north and south. He also suggested that ambitious and ambitious Zhu Yuanzhang leave Han Liner to start his own business, and take Daming as the country name to attract people's hearts.

When Zhu Yuanzhang destroyed the Yuan Dynasty, Liu Bowen played an important role and became Zhu Yuanzhang's right-hand man. When he followed Zhu Yuanzhang, he participated in military aircraft for eight years, which can be said to be the number one hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The story between him and Zhu Yuanzhang did not end here. Why did Zhu Yuanzhang bite a piece of cake before he died?

In fact, this is about to tell a story, and it is also related to a prediction that Liu Bowen once wrote. The name of this book is Pancake Song. Liu Bowen used this book to predict everything that happened in the eight hundred years after the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. It's also interesting to say the origin of this book. After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, one day when he was talking with Liu Bowen, Zhu Yuanzhang first took a bite of baked wheat cake, and then secretly hid it in a bowl to prevent Liu Bowen from eating it.

Later, he asked Liu Bowen to guess what was hidden in the bowl. Liu Bowen calculated and said, "The contents are half like the moon and half like the sun, and were bitten by a real dragon. I guess it should be cake. " Zhu Yuanzhang never dreamed that he could work out what was inside, and he was also surprised.

So he was asked to predict the future of the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Bowen wrote the book "The Song of Pancakes" for Zhu Yuanzhang. You know, in the book Pancake Song, Liu Bowen predicted all the major events of the Ming Dynasty from Zhu Yuanzhang to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, and even recorded some major events of the Ming Dynasty, such as the Jingnan War, the Civil War, the eunuch disaster, the Li Zicheng Uprising, and Chongzhen hanging in Jingshan Park.

These major events that have left traces in history. It's just that Liu Bowen expressed it in obscure poems. For example, he used "eight thousand female ghosts" to synthesize a word. In fact, this word is the word "Wei". This poem means that Wei Zhongxian framed Zhongliang, which led to political instability in the Ming Dynasty.

There are also some poems in the book that are metaphorical, such as "Plum Blossoms on Nine Days", pointing to the important event that Emperor Chongzhen was hanged in Jingshan Park, and so on. It is said that the content of this book is also very accurate, but under the circumstances at that time, Liu Bowen dare not write too clearly, which is what makes Liu Bowen very clever.
