According to the historical story of Liu Bowen, Liu Bowen was a god before the Jade Emperor. At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, there was chaos, war and famine. The Jade Emperor made Liu Bowen reincarnate to assist Ming Jun, so as to rule the world and benefit the whole people, and gave him a sword to cut it, giving orders to the Dragon King of the Four Seas, but the Dragon King was old and weak, and had many affairs, so he sent his nine sons.
Nine dragons are all powerful. They followed Liu Bowen for many years, laid a good foundation for Zhu Yuanzhang and helped Judy win the throne.
When they successfully prepared to return to heaven, Judy, an ambitious Ming emperor, wanted them to stay with him forever and bring peace and stability to the country that ruled the world. So in the name of building the Forbidden City, he took Liu Bowen's sword and set nine sons on fire.
But Jiuzi was still a god beast, and suddenly it rained heavily and he was furious. Judy saw that the sword could not shake Jiuzi, so she decided to use a technique. He said to Brother Jiuzi: Your strength is infinite, and you can carry ten thousand Jin. If you can carry this sacred monument of our ancestors, I will let you go. ?
At first glance, it turned out to be a small stone tablet. I carried it on my back without hesitation, but I couldn't move it after all my efforts. It turns out that the tablet of divine virtue is recorded? The real dragon emperor? The merits (good deeds) (boundless merits) made before his death have two generations of emperor seals, which can town ghosts and gods.
Seeing that his eldest brother was crushed under the monument, Ba Zi could not bear to leave and decided to stay on earth together, but vowed never to show up. Although Judy raised nine sons, all she got was nine statue-like beasts.
When Liu Bowen learned about this, he also abandoned Judy and returned to heaven from the body.
Judy regretted it. In order to warn future generations not to repeat the same mistakes, he asked the nine sons to perform their duties and spread them through the ages.
Brief introduction of Liu Bowen.
Liu Ji, the second part of Liu Bowen's historical story, is very talented but studious. He is very clever. Inspired by his father, he is very eager to learn. Reading is extremely fast, and it is said that seven lines come down. 12 years old, a scholar in the middle school, called by the elders in the countryside? A prodigy? .
In the first year of Taiding (1324), 14-year-old Liu Ji entered the county (that is, the official school) to study. He studied the Spring and Autumn Classics with his teacher. This is an obscure and profound Confucian classic, which is difficult to read, especially for beginners, who just finished reading the book and don't understand its meaning. Liu Ji, on the other hand, can not only meditate twice, but also express himself implicitly according to the meaning of the text and say something that no one has said before. The teacher was surprised to see this, thinking that he had read it before, so he tried several other paragraphs, and Liu Ji could understand it and know the main points. The teacher admired it and praised it secretly? What a genius! He must be no ordinary person in the future! ? It didn't take Liu Ji long to learn a classic of Spring and Autumn Annals.
Taiding four years (1327), Liu Ji was seventeen years old. He left the official school and studied Neo-Confucianism under Zheng Fuchu, a famous scholar in Chuzhou, and received Confucian classics education. Zheng Fuchu praised Liu Ji's father in an interview. Your ancestors accumulated profound virtues and sheltered future generations; This child is so excellent that he will shine in front of your house in the future. ? Liu Ji reads widely, and all schools of thought contend, especially astronomy, geography, art of war and mathematics. He has a special hobby, devoted to research and thinking, and is very proficient. On one occasion, I visited the hometown of Neo-Confucianism in Zhu Cheng? After learning that there is a Liu Jiafu-like boat mountain in Nanxiang, Shexian County, Huizhou explored Fushan Mountain (the main peak is at the tip of the boat). It turns out that there is a complete Zoroastrianism society hidden here. He not only found Taoism, but also met a large number of Zoroastrian saints. Liu Ji's modesty, eagerness to learn and outstanding intelligence have enabled him to learn and master a wealth of strange tricks here, and he started his career in his hometown after returning home.
