Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance may not meet the standards of modern aesthetics, but his face is narrow and his chin protrudes outward, which is regarded as the appearance of a pig dragon in ancient physiognomy, indicating that he will be able to achieve great things in the future, either rich or expensive.
Through unremitting efforts, Zhu Yuanzhang successfully became the founding son of the Ming Dynasty and laid a solid foundation for the glory of the Ming Dynasty. This phenomenon is not uncommon all over the world, not only in China, but also in other countries.
India is an extremely religious country, with followers of various religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism and **Religion. In this lively place, people's fascination with miracles never ends, and Buddhism, as a religion native to India, has a large number of devotees who deeply believe in Shakyamuni and the gods in Buddhism.
When the difficulties of life come one after another, the first thing they think of is to worship the gods and Buddhas, especially those families with difficult economic conditions, and the reverence for the gods and Buddhas reaches an incomprehensible level.
They stubbornly blame the poverty of this life on the karmic cycle of previous lives, and the limitations of their thinking are far beyond everything else, and once they fall into such a cycle, they can no longer change their fate.
A person's fate is often reflected in his cultural background, and many parts of India, which have long been mired in poverty, are closely related to this superstitious belief.
Puranshu, a boy from a poor area of India, has a strange face, like an offspring of an elephant, and is revered by the locals as "Ganesha's prodigy". Like his older siblings, Planshu faces the same environmental distress and discrimination, but his strange appearance is different from theirs.
Due to chronic malnutrition and unclean water sources, Pranshu's physical growth has stagnated, and his head is increasingly resembling that of an elephant.
People bowed down to him, including his parents. The magic of all this comes from an ancient Buddhist myth. In India, there is a god named Shiva, who is revered as the god of destruction.
The God of Destruction has a wife, and she is the Goddess of the Snow Mountain. The beginning of this myth is different from our Chinese mythology. In our mythological stories, male gods usually have no wives, except for the Jade Emperor.
And the immortals usually need to be pure and have few desires, concentrate on cultivation, and are not qualified to fall in love.
In Eastern mythology, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are separated from the Milky Way because of the golden hairpin of the Queen Mother, and they can only meet once a year. And the love between the Three Virgins and Liu Yanchang ended with the Three Virgins being pressed under Mount Hua.
However, in Hindu mythology, the gods and goddesses can openly fall in love and get married, thanks to the fact that the rules of Hindu mythology are different from ours, and Indians have an almost worshipful love for the way of men and women.
This is fully reflected in the world-famous scripture "The Book of Love". The fact that a man left a book for such a thing is a testament to the importance that Indians attach to the way of men and women.
In their mythological consciousness, sexual intercourse between men and women is seen as a form of cultivation, as is the relationship between Shiva and the goddess of the snowy mountains. In order to attain the ultimate state of nirvana, Shiva decided to follow the Buddha's example and meditate in the mountains.
His departure left the goddess of the snow mountain alone in the empty boudoir, looking forward to his return every day. In that ancient society, where there were no colorful entertainment, the goddess of the snow-capped mountains was so bored that she would even stare at the sky all day long, fearing that her thoughts would become too strong.
So, she decided to change herself, using the best clay and water, and created a son for herself, named Ganesha.
Ganesa grew up in the company of her mother, and the goddess of the snow-capped mountains loved to bathe, and every time she bathed, she always had her son stand guard at the door to prevent bad intentions from breaking in.
Once, while the son was at his post, a man insisted on breaking into his mother's room, and despite his best efforts to stop it, the mana was clearly higher, and he was tragically killed.
The goddess of the snow-capped mountain, who was bathing at the time, didn't know anything about this, only heard the sound of a fight outside the window, and she thought that although her son was not a top master, he was comfortable with the people around him.
She did not leave the room immediately, but waited until she saw her husband return, and her heart was filled with joy. She hugged her husband tightly, longing for his caresses, and he kept his affection for her.
When his fiery wife pounced on him, the passion of the two burned like a dry fire. After the clouds and rain, the wife lay lazily on the bed and asked her husband, "Do you see our son?" ”
The husband asked with a puzzled look, "Our son?" He's in ** now? His wife told him: "He is right outside the door and he has been with me all these years. ”
When Shiva heard this, his heart was like being struck by lightning and he fell into deep despair. He immediately traveled through the immortal mountains to seek the help of his friends, hoping to make his son famous all over the world.
His friend told him, "Go all the way east and you will find the first living animal, and that is your son's hope." So Shiva walked along the east until he saw an elephant.
He gazed at the elephant's head and used his immortal magic to place the elephant's head around his son's neck. Over time, Ganesa became the "god of knowledge" and "god of fate" in Buddhism.
For those Indians who wish to change their fate, if their child looks like Pranshur, then they will consider it to be the reincarnation of a god, and some will even say, "During the child's exam, I will go to worship Pranshur, and the child will be admitted to university." ”
In India, Pranshur's fame grew, and his family was lifted out of poverty. However, seeing stories like this, I always wonder why we can't be brave enough to face our own poverty, arm ourselves with knowledge, and break through our own prejudices, instead of falling into the quagmire of superstition and not being able to extricate ourselves.
The ancients said: Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. Only oneself is the master who changes his own destiny, and God helps those who help themselves. With these words, I would like to encourage you to have a bright future.
