As an important figure in Chinese history, the founding emperors of all dynasties had some visions when they were born. These visions not only show their extraordinaryness, but also foreshadow that they will become kings of a nation. This article will be based on historical documents, ** what were the visions of the founding emperors of the previous dynasties when they were born. Let's see who can blow the most.
First, let's take a look at Liu Bang's birth. According to the "Historical Records", Liu Bang's father is called Taigong, and his mother is called Liu Yuan. Previously, Liu Yuan had rested on the shore of the Great Lake, and in her sleep she was in communion with God. At this time, thunder and lightning worked, and the sky was dark. Taigong went to see Liu Yuan, only to see a dragon on her, and later Liu Yuan became pregnant and gave birth to Gaozu.
When Liu Bang was born, his body emitted a strong glow, which made the people around him feel very surprised. This vision shows Liu Bang's extraordinaryness and foreshadows that he will become a great leader.
According to the Book of Sui, Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui, was a native of Huayin, Hongnong County. Gaozu's mother, Lu Shi, gave birth to Gaozu on the night of June 13 in Fengyi Panruo Temple in the seventh year of Datong, and at that time, purple gas filled the hall. A nun from Hedong said to Gaozu's mother, "This child has a very special origin, and it should not be fed in the ordinary. "The nuns placed Gaozu in the guest house and raised them personally.
Gao Zu's mother once hugged Gao Zu, and suddenly saw horns growing on Gao Zu's head and scales appeared all over his body. Gaozu's mother was so frightened that she caused Gaozu to fall to the ground. When the nun returned from going out, she saw this scene and said, "I have frightened my son, and caused him to delay his reign." "Gaozu Longyan is dignified, with five pillar-like marks on his forehead connected to the top of his head, his eyes are shot outward, and there is a texture of the word "king" on his palm.
Let's take a look at Li Yuan's birth again. According to the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan's mother also had a dream when she was pregnant, in which a fairy told her that her child would become emperor in the future. When Li Yuan was born, a rainbow appeared in the sky, and this vision also foreshadowed that Li Yuan would become a great leader.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was also very domineering when he was born, according to the "History of the Ming Dynasty" Zhu Yuanzhang's mother's surname was Chen, just pregnant, and he dreamed of a pill given by God, which was glittering in the palm of his hand, and he woke up after swallowing, and there was still a fragrance in his mouth. When I was born, the room was full of red light, and then there were many times during the night. When the neighbors saw it, they panicked and thought it was on fire, so they rushed to the rescue, but when they arrived, there was nothing. When he grows up, he has a majestic appearance, a strange bone and a strong will, and no one can predict it.
