Liu Bowen traveled in his early years and met Zhu Yuanzhang lying on the ground. Why can he be predicted to become an emperor?

In ancient China, some people were praised as gods. These people were half immortals with their ingenious designs and could predict the past and the future. Zhang Liang in the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms Period and Liu Bowen, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, all belong to this category. It is said that when Liu Bowen was traveling in his early years, he once ran into Zhu Yuanzhang, who was just a cowherd, but Liu Bowen predicted from Zhu Yuanzhang that he would be an emperor in the future. How did this happen?

Liu Bowen was a famous scholar in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he was an official of the Yuan Dynasty. Liu Bowen was a scholar, knowledgeable, and had a good knowledge of metaphysics. He knew astronomy above and geography below, and he was also able to predict divination. He was a very powerful and knowledgeable scholar. In the process of Zhu Yuanzhang's founding the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen made many suggestions for Zhu Yuanzhang, and he often predicted the development of things accurately, so people compared Liu Bowen with Zhuge Liang.

So Liu Bowen predicted that Zhu Yuanzhang would be emperor in the future. What happened?

It turns out that Liu Bowen once happened to be herding cattle when he was passing through the wild in his early years. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was lying on the ground sleeping, with his hands and feet stretched out, and the bullwhip happened to be placed on Zhu Yuanzhang's head. From a distance, it looked like a? God? Word. Liu Bowen was shocked by what he saw, so he decided to go and find out. As a result, when Liu Bowen came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, Zhu Yuanzhang happened to turn over and lie on his side, and his feet curled up. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's body looks like another one? Son? Word. First? God? Word, and now? Son? Word, Liu Bowen think this child is not simple, or in the future.

Although this story is colorful, it is obviously fiction. Because when Liu Bowen first met Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang was already a general of the anti-Yuan rebel army. Moreover, this story only appears in unofficial history's records. If it really happened in history, there is no reason why it should not be recorded by the official history. After all, it is not a shameful thing. On the contrary, it is quite meaningful.

There are naturally reasons why people invent such a story. And the reason is obvious. To put it bluntly, it is to deify Liu Bowen and Zhu Yuanzhang. This is also a common saying in ancient China. For example, when recording the birth of the founding emperor in ancient China, most historians will write some strange weather phenomena as a foil to show the uniqueness of the founding emperor.

As one of the most legendary emperors in China during the feudal period, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been talked about by people. Since ancient times, legends about Zhu Yuanzhang have emerged one after another. It is not surprising that people made up such a legendary story for him. Liu Bowen is also a legendary figure, and there are many folk legends about Liu Bowen, most of which reflect Liu Bowen's ingenuity. As described in this story, Liu Bowen predicted that Zhu Yuanzhang would be an emperor in the future in his early years, which was actually to reflect Liu Bowen's ingenuity.
