Is Liu Bowen Zhuge Liang or Han Xin? (2)

In the early Ming Dynasty, some people praised Liu Bowen for combining the wisdom of the ancients, knowing astronomy above and geography below, and using the art of war in government affairs. He not only has superhuman military ability, but also has extraordinary ability to manage the world, and his foresight and resourcefulness are the secrets. Some even praised him as the only one in ancient and modern times. Liu Bowen, Jiang Taigong and Zhuge Liang are also known as the "three great strategists" in history, and there is a saying that "Zhuge Liang has three points and Liu Bowen is unified". It is said that he has profound attainments in politics, military affairs, astronomy, geography and literature. His works include Jade Ion, Fu Bu Ji, Love Story, Li Meigong Ji, Ming Jing in the Spring and Autumn Period, Hundred Wars, Heart of the Art of War by Sun Tzu and Dragon Artifact Array, which discusses ordnance and firearms.

Today, there are different opinions about Liu Bowen.

There are also many novels related to Liu Bowen among the people. Among them, it is said that he often travels incognito and observes people's feelings. He also said that he was good at divination and wrote "Pancake Song", suggesting to Zhu Yuanzhang what would happen in Daming in the future, even hundreds of years after the death of Ming Dynasty. However, some historians believe that the truth of these stories and predictions is doubtful, because Liu Bowen died as early as eight years in Hongwu.

It is widely rumored on the Internet that the real Liu Bowen (Liu Ji) was not so well-known before and after his death. A century and a half after his death, that is, the tenth year of Jiajing (153 1), Li Yu, a fellow countryman of Liu Ji and a doctor of punishments, said to Sejong at that time: "(Liu) Ji Yi enjoyed a high temple and was made a Spyker, like Zhongshan Wang (Xu Da)." This means that Liu Ji will accompany Zhu Maoyuan Zhang to enjoy the sacrifice, and his descendants will inherit the title like the descendants of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan. Sacrifice and knighthood are state affairs, and Sejong ordered the minister to discuss the matter. As a result, the ministers unanimously agreed, saying, "Emperor Gao made great contributions to the hero for a while, but it was mostly Liu Ji's contribution to the great plan of the Central Plains. So when Mao was undecided in the world, he said that Liu Ji was his own Sean, and later he was compared to Zhuge Liang when he was knighted. Liu Ji deserves the ancestral hall. " This year, Liu Ji's ninth grandson, Chu Zhouwei, ordered Liu Yu to attack and made him an earl. As we know, in the early Ming Dynasty, Xu Da ranked first. Ministers of Jiajing Dynasty tied Liu Ji and Xu Da, who were not good at martial arts. ...

One view is that Liu Bowen is an outstanding strategist, politician and writer. There is also a saying that Liu Bowen became a great strategist known to women and children in China because of the deification of Zhu Yuanzhang by the rulers of the Ming Dynasty.

As for Liu Bowen's views on gifted military strategists, after investigation, it is found that Liu Bowen has written two books related to military affairs, namely Hundred Wars and Eighteen Tactics of Current Politics. "These two books not only have no cited records in history, but now they don't even know the specific content. It can be seen that these two books are of little value." Some people questioned that "judging from his actual military record, it can be divided into two parts. Part of it was as a military staff officer in the Yuan Dynasty, how to suppress the peasant uprising, and part of it was as a staff officer in the peasant uprising army Zhu Yuanzhang. "

Why is Liu Bowen a myth? 15 14. After Liu Bowen died in 139, the Ming court gave Liu Bowen a title. According to "Giving the surname Wen Cheng an Patent", Liu Bowen was "generous and ambitious, resolute and resourceful, and learned to be a teacher, so he was called Wang Zuo". "When he was hired, he took charge of Jianye, recruited troops from Peng Li, and determined to make great achievements in China. The river-crossing planner is unparalleled, and the founding minister is the first. Honor is brave in the wind of the sea, but merit is not taken. It is wise to allow you to stay in the valley! "

As we all know, Zhu Yuanzhang is a bit like Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty. He started from the peasant uprising to suppress the peasant uprising and made a fortune, from the leader of the peasant uprising to the spokesman of the landlord class. Many of the founding heroes who followed Zhu Yuanzhang were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. According to statistics, of the 37 people who made contributions in 1370, 3 1 person was killed, demoted and dismissed before Zhu Yuanzhang died, not including those who were assassinated. Some people think that since these people have been designated as bad guys by Zhu Yuanzhang, they can't be used as a foil when deifying Zhu Yuanzhang, so Liu Bowen, who was originally ranked 40th, once mentioned the position that "the planners crossing the river are unparalleled and the founding minister is the first". Some people think that Liu Bowen is the official of Zhu Yuanzhang. This official position is not only responsible for compiling almanac, but also for observing astronomical phenomena. At the same time, he is also responsible for drafting documents, planning life, remembering historical events, compiling history books, Chinese classics, and offering sacrifices. Predicting that Zhu Yuanzhang is the "the only thrill" through Liu Bowen is beneficial to deceive people.

No matter what people say about Liu Bowen, there is no doubt that Liu Bowen has extraordinary literary talent. Liu Bowen is not a famous poet, but a writer, but he has a famous poem: "I once lived at the southern end of the mountain, and the mountain was quiet. Rice should be planted in the mountains in spring, and the surrounding houses are fertile fields. Every farmer is ashamed to be a peddler and is too lazy to climb counties and States. ..... East neighbors, hosts and guests, young and old sit together for a rainy day. Mountain flowers, wild leaves, towel hats, bamboo chopsticks and lacquer bowls are also porcelain. Wine is full of laughter, nonsense, and knees are staggered. " His popularity in the world has fully proved his value. The nameless poems are "famous" through absurd so-called poetry prizes and bonuses, which is a manifestation of personality loss and degeneration. Pursuing fame and profit has become synonymous with the split personality of "literary patients". Foreign writers never take any awards or "poetry circles" or publications seriously. When the spring tide in China market destroyed a group of literati and China literature publications regarded as "patients" by ordinary people to the edge of society, when a few so-called "poetry scholars" who were called collusion by critics became "famous" through funny performances and tenacious struggle with "prizes" and "bonuses", God laughed at them.

Liu Bowen is not a famous poet, but a great writer.
