Did Liu Can Bowen really predict the future?

There is a folk proverb: three points of wisdom in the world, Liu Bowen is unified. Zhuge Liang is the most awesome person in the Three Kingdoms. Under the rendering of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he became an omnipotent "demon man", and Liu Bowen, the first adviser in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, was also a man who had the final say, and was known as a man of god who knew five hundred years ago and five hundred years later.

Liu Bowen's prediction was revealed during the war with Zhu Yuanzhang. According to "Sixteen Biographies of Ming History", it is recorded that: "Fight with friends and get to Poyang Lake dozens of times a day. Taizu sat on the Hu bed to supervise the war, and suddenly jumped up and shouted, making Taizu more interesting. Taizu hurriedly moved to another place, sat undecided, and flew to shell the old imperial ship and break it. "

This passage translated into vernacular means that when Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang fought a decisive battle on Poyang Lake, in order to motivate the soldiers, Zhu Yuanzhang personally bid. At this moment, Liu Bowen suddenly jumped up and said six words to Zhu Yuanzhang: Change warships quickly. Zhu Yuanzhang of unknown so, but seeing Liu Bowen's anxious expression, didn't ask much, so he had to change boats immediately. As a result, as soon as he changed ships, the original warship was smashed by flying shelling. It can be said that Liu Bowen's predictive ability saved Zhu Yuanzhang's life.

Where did Liu Bowen learn his prophetic skills? According to folklore, Liu Bowen once sat alone on the mountain and suddenly found four words on the mountain wall: "Mountain is the foundation". This mountain is for Liu Bowen. When Liu Bowen stepped forward, a stone door suddenly opened on the mountain. Liu Bowen went in. After entering another stone gate, he found a Taoist lying on a stone bed, pointing to a book. Liu Bowen stepped forward and saw that it was an art book. As soon as the Taoist priest turned it over, he asked, are you interested in this book? If you can recite the contents of the book tomorrow, I will teach you all the skills of mathematics. Because of Liu Ji's amazing memory, he memorized it the next day, so he got the true biography of this Taoist priest and became the god of prophecy.

Even more amazing is yet to come. Liu Bowen's classic is the eternal prophecy book-the song of cooking.

According to historical records: "One day, Ming Taizu lived in the inner hall and ate sesame cakes. He spat. Liu, the prison supervisor, suddenly saw that Taizu covered him with a bowl and told him to go in. After the ceremony, the emperor asked, "Sir, do you know what's in the bowl?" Kenai pinched his fingers and calculated. He said to him,' Half like the sun and half like the moon. It was once bitten by a golden dragon. So is this food. Open your eyes and be sure. "

The song of pancakes was formed in this question and answer. Halfway through, Liu Bowen was embarrassed by the secret, so Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a gold medal to avoid death. Liu Bowen this just let go of hands and feet, bold voice. As a result, the predictions of a series of important events in later generations have been integrated into Pancake Song.

Liu Bowen also became a divine man in the eyes of future generations because of his prophecy.

Of course, there are many controversies about the death of such a man of God in later generations. Some people say that he was poisoned by Hu, others by Zhu Yuanzhang, and others say that he died of natural causes. This argument has been controversial for thousands of years.

In the folk, there is a legend that when Liu Bowen died and was buried, the Liu family was worried that someone would rob the tomb, so they built 36 tombs. On the day of the funeral, 36 coffins shuttled back and forth to confuse outsiders, and then they were buried in batches. If this statement is true, it will make the mystery of Liu Bowen's real death and suspended animation more confusing.

It is reported that Liu Bowen's tomb, located in Xiashan, Chengxiling Village, wencheng county City, Zhejiang Province, has a stone tablet engraved with "Liu Wencheng Mausoleum, the Founding Emperor of the Ming Dynasty", which belongs to the 20th Sun Liuyaodong of Liu Bowen. And Liu Bowen was buried in this tomb? Because the local people resolutely oppose the excavation, the truth is unknown. Therefore, it is still a mystery.
