Zhu Yuanzhang and the beekeeper have exactly the same eight characters, but their fate is completely different.

Ming Taizu-The same eight-character (I) Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang believed in the theory of bright road. According to Wu Za, after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he sent people to make unannounced visits to find people with the same eight characters.

Perhaps in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, his becoming a founding monarch was decided by his date of birth. Therefore, people with the same birth date may have the same fate as themselves. As far as Zhu Yuanzhang is concerned, anyone who threatens the state of Zhu must be punished to avoid endless future troubles.

Finally, I really found one in Jiangyin. Zhu Yuanzhang was curious about this man with the same fate as himself. He wants to see what this man is like and what he has done.

The man was taken to the palace and given to Zhu Yuanzhang. It turned out to be an ordinary old man. Zhu Yuanzhang chatted with him and asked him how to make a living. The old man said, "I raised thirteen cages of bees and sold honey."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized and smiled: "I have thirteen chief secretaries and you have thirteen cages of bees. Speaking of which, I regard the Chief Secretary as a bee cage. "

Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved, relieved and sent the beekeeper home. Two people born at the same time in the same year, one is the son of heaven and the other is a humble beekeeper. This story can be used to prove the accuracy of the theory of destiny, and of course it can also be used as a negative teaching material, depending on your opinion. The joints are really puzzling, so Five Miscellanies says, "The promise of life is not credible."

However, Zhu Yuanzhang and beekeepers have one thing in common, that is, they were born in poverty. Zhu Yuanzhang's father moved from Sizhou to Haozhou and gave birth to four sons. Zhu Yuanzhang is the youngest.

There are many children in poor families, and many of them may die halfway. People are poor and mean, as long as parents remember their children's birthdays clearly. Probably only extremely careful parents will notice the birth time of their children. Besides, this kind of attention is not necessarily accurate. Before the appearance of clocks and watches, the tool for marking time was a Japanese regulation. Poor villages will definitely not buy such things. Even if there is, rainy days are useless. Therefore, the villagers judge time more out of their own feelings, such as the notes of the Qing Dynasty, "Bamboo Pavilion Miscellanies" said:

Where there are no rules in rural life, that is, when there are, or when it is gloomy, it is mostly determined by the degree of birth. The cover time can't be true.

When Zhu Yuanzhang and the beekeeper were born, the family had no condition to remember their birth time clearly. They have the same eight characters, which may be just a wrong result. In fact, the explanation of the same eight characters in San Hui has returned to the path of "inheritance theory" and "ancestral shadow theory":

In the world of life, there are five elements and eight characters that are the same, but wealth, poverty and longevity are different. Why? A: Yin and Yang are born together, influenced by the true and refined combination of qi, which condenses into a fetus and becomes a man and a woman, gaining the climate of heaven and earth and the qi of parents. It is based on those who are clear, they are wise and moral; Those who complain about its turbidity are stupid and unscrupulous. Wise men, sages, rich or expensive, or long life, will certainly gain something. The so-called R disease S slaughter spells ignorance, and the garden shortage is becoming more and more obscure, so poverty and death are inevitable, and the so-called ignorance is also true.

In addition, it emphasizes the cultivation of the day after tomorrow, the accumulation of goodness, and advocates that man can conquer nature.

Eight-character divination prevailed in the Ming Dynasty, and numerology research reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty. At least judging from the anecdotes recorded in the note novels, people in the Ming Dynasty were much better at divination than those in the Song Dynasty.
