Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded Rixin Liu for his generosity. Why did he choose an inscription fan?

Because the words on this fan were written by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, and the contents were all his fortune-telling for the emperor. Finally, he mentioned that he could travel around the world with this fan. This kind of fan is not worse than other rewards, which is why Rixin Liu chose fans instead of other rewards.

When Zhu Yuanzhang became a beggar because of poverty, one day he heard the name of Rixin Liu's psychic, so he asked him to tell his fortune regardless of his identity. At that time, he was fortune-telling, and the word was "silk". Rixin Liu was shocked to see this sentence. Ignoring other people's eyes, he knelt before Zhu Yuanzhang and said, You are the emperor's life. But Zhu Yuanzhang did not take his words seriously, but laughed them off.

Who knows that Zhu Yuanzhang really changed from a beggar without food and clothing to an emperor who dominated the destiny of a country, as he said. Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, he also listed Rixin Liu as a hero and allowed him to choose his reward at will. However, Rixin Liu is not interested in all kinds of treasures, except an inscription fan. When he was ready to leave the palace after receiving the reward, he also made a promise to the emperor that he would no longer predict other people's fortunes.

But 12 years later, he finally broke this promise because of threats. This divination is also very effective, and those who accept it have fulfilled his divination one by one. Because of this, he was invited to the palace again and has never been out of the palace since. He was killed mainly because the emperor was afraid of his clever plan and worried that his talent would pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty, so he was executed.
