Zhu Yuanzhang, the Commoner Emperor

Zhu Yuanzhang's experience as a commoner has always been a legend among these princes and generals. Since ancient times, emperors have always been graceful and noble, but Emperor Jianwen, an emperor with a humble background, sincerely established a new situation under the banner of serving the common people. I am even more impressed by the story in this book about Zhu Yuanzhang's experience of living on alms and wandering around the world; the hardships in his early years also tempered him. Just as Mencius said, before heaven is about to give a great responsibility to a person, he must first work hard and work hard for his muscles and bones; and his various measures after entering politics also reflect the commoner emperor's compassion for the people and his unique understanding of power.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was a man of outstanding ability but also extremely controversial. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in common people and made his fortune from scratch, passed through five passes and killed six generals as a poor man, and gradually ascended to the position of emperor. He must have paid a lot of hard work and hardships, and he could endure things that ordinary people could not endure. The author depicts Zhu Yuanzhang as a "heroic" image with a strong personality and ruthlessness. Although he strengthens the character's personality, he ignores the benevolence and other qualities that Zhu Yuanzhang should have as a ruler.

Legend has it that Zhu Yuanzhang was born to Zhu Yuanzhang's mother. She met a Taoist priest who gave her mother a white meatball. It didn't take long for Zhu Yuanzhang's mother to become pregnant. When she gave birth to the boy, Southeast A burst of white air floated up, and the fragrance was permeating, surrounding the beam for three feet, and did not dissipate all night. When Zhu Yuanzhang was born, the whole room was filled with red light, and it looked like it was on fire from a distance. Such stories were used to advertise that Zhu Yuanzhang was born extraordinary.

It is very humorous and easy to understand, and the stories all have their sources clearly stated. It allowed me to understand the life of this commoner emperor.

It's a very good book with rich and colorful content. Everyone should read it.

It took Zhu Yuanzhang forty years from his birth to his ascension to the throne. Along the way, he had ups and downs, and he overcame many difficulties. In the end, he successfully transformed from a peasant boy to a master, and achieved an imperial career. The difficulties and dangers involved were unknown to outsiders, and Queen Ma, his virtuous wife, also gave him a lot of help. What's more important is the change in his own thinking. After being appreciated by the big shots, he quickly changed his thinking. I think this is one of the reasons for his success, because the ideas of the people at the bottom are different from those of the management. If he does not have sufficient management capabilities, the rebel army he leads may eventually disperse due to various reasons.
