Liu Bowen insisted on biting a biscuit when he died. Why?

Why did Liu Bowen eat a sesame seed cake before he died? This is related to an 800-year-old prophecy. We all know that Liu Bowen once had a prophetic book called Pancake Song, which clearly stated the great events that would happen in the first 800 years of the Ming Dynasty.

If we want to talk about the man of God who can talk and count in the ancient history of China, everyone will say Guiguzi, Zhuge Liang, Jiang Taigong and so on. There are many such people in history, but there are few happy endings, which may also explain the saying that knowing too much is not good for you.

Today, we are going to talk about none other than Liu Bowen. Everyone should know some of his brilliant achievements. He was the founding strategist of the Ming Dynasty, and helped Zhu Yuanzhang lay a solid foundation and established brilliant military exploits.

Liu Bowen can be reused because of Zhu Yuanzhang's appreciation. Liu Bowen was introduced to Zhu Yuanzhang. At that time, when Zhu Yuanzhang first met him, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Liu Bowen was definitely not an ordinary person and directly reused him. Later, Liu Bowen really showed his skill and made Zhu Yuanzhang sit up and take notice. His command was excellent and he won one victory after another. Then in the war with the Yuan Dynasty, he led the team to victory.

And the source of this book is legendary. One day, Zhu Yuanzhang took a bite of baked wheat cake and held it in a big bowl to let Liu Bowen guess what was inside. After careful calculation, he said this sentence: "Half is like the sun and half is like the moon. Once bitten by a golden dragon, it is a cake."

Zhu Yuanzhang appreciated this and asked him to predict the future of the Ming Dynasty. But Liu Bowen is also smart. First he applied for a gold medal from death, and then he got the book Pancake Song.
