Some people say that Zhu Yuanzhang can be proclaimed emperor because his grandfather robbed a treasure trove of geomantic omen. Is that really the case?

This statement is superstitious, but there is also a legend, because his grandfather was buried in a land of geomantic omen. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to claim the title of emperor more because of his own ability than relying on Feng Shui.

Zhu Yuanzhang is also a famous successful case of grassroots entrepreneurship in history. This story is very inspiring and enviable. Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather is called Zhu Chuyi. It is said that his grandfather is also a cowherd, and his future is bleak for the landlord's family. Once, as soon as Zhu Chu was herding cattle, he was tired of herding cattle and slept on a grassy slope.

While sleeping, two Taoist priests, an old man and a young man, came to the roadside on the grassy slope. Two Taoist priests were talking while walking. Suddenly, the old Taoist saw where Zhu Chu was sleeping and stopped.

The young monk asked the old monk why he stopped. The old Taoist sighed and said, Do you see the place where the Cowherd sleeps over there? This is a good place for geomantic omen. If people can be buried there after death, their family is definitely the son of heaven! The little Taoist priest looked at the grass where Zhu Chu slept and found it was normal. He asked how it was the legendary "land of Longxing". Seeing that the young monk didn't believe what he said, the old monk said to the young monk, I can give you a test. You can find a dead branch and plant it in this land of feng shui. It will definitely take root and sprout in a few days.

As soon as Zhu Chu, who was sleeping on this grassy slope, heard their conversation, he kept pretending to sleep. He thought to himself, "This is a good opportunity for my Zhu family to turn over. I must take this piece of feng shui treasure for myself! "

In this way, Zhu Chuyi went to observe whether the dead branches sprouted every day. Sure enough, after a few days, the dead branches really sprouted. Zhu Chuyi quickly replaced the sprouting twig with another dead branch. When the Taoist came to see another twig changed by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taoist immediately understood. He just dropped a sentence and said, "future generations must be the son of heaven" and left.

Later, Zhu Chu was buried on this grassy slope after his death. His daughter-in-law gave birth to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
