Why is Liu Bang, a civilian, living like an emperor? Is it true that his mother dreamed of him?

False, this was deliberately fabricated by Liu Bang or his descendants to make the image of the emperor of the Han Dynasty higher. Sima Qian said in Historical Records that it was Liu Bang's old mother who went out one day and then stepped on a big footprint and got pregnant. And Liu Bang's father saw his wife with the dragon. In short, Liu Bang's father witnessed a piece of qingqing grasslands growing on his head. Do you think this is realistic?

I think at that time, no matter who really encountered such a plot, the first reaction was not to say that the fairy appeared, but to kill the snake or dragon with a stick. So we say that this is just a deliberate fabrication by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to make his image more sacred. At that time, the Han Dynasty emperor claimed to be the son of heaven. In order to make his rule more justified, the emperor of the Han Dynasty directly found himself a father. Therefore, people in the Han Dynasty didn't care about finding a dragon father for Liu Bang, the emperor gaozu of Han Dynasty.

Ancient people were superstitious. In order to be different from ordinary people, their emperors always needed something different to set them off. In that superstitious age, nothing is more awesome than the gods. As a result, when the son of the dragon was born, the morning glow came to Wan Li and the purple gas came from the east. Anyway, it is used for all kinds of illusions. This is the history of predecessors written by later generations. No one knows whether this is true or not.

We should read these stories as fairy tales, don't take them seriously, and don't care whether they really happened. This kind of thing is still subtle. I remember there was an ordinary total solar eclipse in Han Dynasty. They said that God punished the emperor, and the emperor gave himself a letter directly. Scared everyone at that time one leng one leng. Directly stabilized the uneasy social environment at that time.
