Zhou Dian, a native of Jianchang, Jiangxi Province, lived in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. It is said that his ancestors are descendants of Zhou Dunyi, a great scholar in the Song Dynasty. According to the records, Zhou Dian got a crazy strange disease when he was 14 years old, and he wandered around Nanchang all day begging for food. Because of his strange appearance, he often says things that others can't understand, so the locals call him Zhou Dian.
When Zhou Dian, a "madman", saw that the people ignored him, he began to run to the government door and tell officials what to say "Tell peace". At that time, the world was at peace and no one rebelled. Officials don't understand what this means, and have repeatedly expelled Zhou Dian from the government. Many years later, due to the brutal rule of Mongols, everyone in the world rebelled. Nanchang was occupied by Chen Youliang, and Zhou Dian deliberately hid. Later, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Nanchang, and Zhou Dian visited Zhu Yuanzhang on the road. Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Nanjing with a great army, and Zhou Dian also went to Nanjing.
After seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhou Dian often said "peace" in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, but did not say what it meant. Zhu Yuanzhang is bored. One day, Zhu Yuanzhang was walking on the road and was stopped by Zhou Dian and said, "I wish you peace." . Zhu Yuanzhang's fire reached the extreme, so he ordered Zhou Dian to be arrested, tied with a big copper cylinder, and then piled wood around him to burn. When all the firewood was burned, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Zhou Dian must have died long ago. When people lifted the bucket, they found that there was nothing on Zhou Dian's head except sweat.
After seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, he was very surprised and felt that Zhou Dian was not an ordinary person. He was taken to live in a temple. A few days later, the monk in the temple reported to Zhu Yuanzhang that Zhou Dian and the young monk had been hungry for more than half a month after they got angry. Zhu Yuanzhang hurried to the temple to see Zhou Dian. After seeing him, Zhu Yuanzhang found that Zhou Dian was ruddy and didn't look like he hadn't eaten for half a month. In order to test Zhou Dian's real ability, Zhu Yuanzhang made a table of dining tables for Zhou Dian. After eating, he was locked in a dark room and didn't give food for a month. A month later, I went to see him and found him the same as before.
From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang began to admit that Zhou Dian was a "fairy family" and took him with him when he went out to fight. And Zhou Dian always tells the secret every time, and always gives him great help at the critical moment of Zhu Yuanzhang. When Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing to pacify the world, Zhou Dian suddenly took French leave. Zhu Yuanzhang sent many people to Lushan Mountain to look for Zhou Dian, but they didn't find him. Everyone suspects that Zhou Dian has become an immortal.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor and established the Ming Dynasty. But after 26 years as emperor, he was still obsessed with Zhou Dian five years before his death. And personally wrote a "Shi Ming" to record the story about Zhou Dian. Zhu Yuanzhang also called the calligrapher Zhan Xiyu to write these poems, which were carved on stone tablets by craftsmen and embedded in Lushan Mountain. The inscription is still there.
Zhou Dian, from Jianchang, has no name. At the age of fourteen, I had to go crazy and beg for food in Nanchang. My language is not a constant. My name is Tiao. The dragon is different in shape, calling it Mr. and saying "peace." The world is cold and unpredictable. Mao is tired, his life is covered with a huge urn, and his salary is forged. If you pay enough, you will be fine, but you will only sweat on it. Mao is different. He sent food to the monk temple in Shan Jiang. Moreover, the monk has come to complain, quarreled with the novice monk for a meal, got angry and refused to eat for half a month. Mao's eyes turned to it, without hunger. This is a delicious food, but the food has been sealed in an empty room, and it is as good as before. You are willing to make peace, and the Maoist emissary will come to Lushan to ask for an audience. No, its fairy is beyond doubt. During the reign of Hong Wushi, the emperor wrote the Biography of Zhou Dian, which recorded his deeds. -Zhou Dian fairy tales.
