Why did ancient emperors always have visions when they were born?

The ancients were superstitious and admired the divine right of kings. God sent his son to rule the world, so he was called "the son of heaven". In order to become the justified "son of heaven", emperors racked their brains to fabricate some visions at birth. In a word, people will believe it.

Liu Bang was the first emperor in the history of China. Of course, his position as a curator in the Qin Dynasty is no different from that of a right-winger. As early as when Liu Bang beheaded the White Snake Uprising, his younger brothers made a splash for Liu Bang, saying that Liu Bang was the son of Chi Di and the decapitated White Snake was the son of Bai Di, paving the way for the throne in the future. When Liu Bang became emperor, he still felt dissatisfied, so he made it up again.

Liu's mother once took a nap by the pond and dreamed that she met a god. It happened to be a thunderstorm. Liu Taigong came to pick up Liu Bang's mother, only to see a dragon on Liu Bang's mother, and soon gave birth to Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang. Not counting this, this shocking experience is recorded in the official history, and even Sima Qian's Historical Records has been adopted. I have to say that Liu Bang's skill is really great. Even the slave emperor Schleswig once said that if he was born in Liu Bang's time, he could only be a pawn of Liu Bang.

Liu Bei is also an emperor in cloth, but he also wants to create a justified stunt when he becomes emperor. As a result, when Liu Bei was making cloth, there was a mulberry tree in the southeast corner of the house, which was more than 50 feet long. Seeing Tong Tong from a distance like a hood, people come and go and say that this tree is extraordinary. It is said that this family will be a noble person. Even if no one helped Liu Bei, he still wore the hat of Wang Jing of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. After Wang Jing of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, there were thousands, if not hundreds, of Liu Bei's generation.

Emperor Wu of Song Wudi, born in poverty since childhood, is similar to Liu Bang. According to legend, after Liu Jiao, the king of the Han Dynasty, he was a civilian in Pengcheng in his early years, starting from his military achievements and standing on his own feet in the Jin Dynasty. According to historical records, when he was born, there was a divine light shining in the delivery room, and one room was brightly lit. The dew "fell on the tomb tree" that night.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, was a master of fabricating lies. After the Xuanwumen incident, he forcibly revised history in order to erase the notoriety of forcing his father to kill his brother. According to historical records, Li Shimin had a secret talk with Liu Wenjing in prison to discuss the matter of opposing and destroying Sui. The Tang Dynasty was established only after Li Shimin worked for Li Yuan. Li Shimin became the first person who advocated the destruction of Sui Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, and it was only natural that he should be emperor. However, I prefer another version. Li Shimin discussed it with his subordinates and reported it to Li Yuan. As a result, Li Yuan smiled: I thought so years ago. Code after code, modifying history will not prevent Li Shimin from becoming an eternal monarch.

Wu Zetian is the only female emperor, and the fierce who conquered the world by force must create public opinion, not to mention Wu Meiniang, a woman who also brought Yuan Tiangang, the first half fairy of the Tang Dynasty. One day, Yuan Tiangang passed by the Wu family and saw Wu Zetian's mother. Yang was surprised: The lady's bones are like a baby! Yang's sons Wu and Wu were sold to Yuan Tiangang for face reading. Yuan Tiangang said that he can be an official with Taoism, but he is only a risk-averse who can protect his family, not too expensive. Yang also called out Wu Zetian's sister (later called Mrs. Han), and Yuan Tiangang said, "This woman is expensive and not good for her husband!" Finally, Wu Zetian was carried out by the wet nurse in boys' clothes. When Yuan Tiangang saw Wu Zetian in her infancy, she was surprised and said that she was a "phoenix-necked dragon, which was very expensive!" He said regretfully, "It's a pity it's a man. If it is a woman, it is the master of the world! " "wow. The lie was made up in a watertight way, even including gender.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin is not only good at kung fu, but also an excellent actor. Chen Qiao's mutiny easily seized the power of widows and orphans in the Zhou Dynasty, and releasing soldiers with a glass of wine was a good show. In order to block the long crowd, according to historical records, when Zhao Kuangyin was born, the delivery room was filled with scarlet phosgene, accompanied by a strange fragrance, which lingered all night, hence the name "Xiang Haier". After he was born, his whole body was golden, which lasted for three days and he just said he was a dragon.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, was also an insecure emperor, but he should be. Beggars are inevitably insecure when they become emperors. In order to unite the rebels, history records show that when her mother was pregnant, she dreamed that God had given her a pill and put it in her palm, which was full of fragrance after swallowing it. There was a red light in the delivery room when the child was born. At night, the light continues to penetrate the roof. When the neighbors saw it, they all thought there was a fire and rushed to the rescue. But there was nothing unusual after that. Of course, babies are born differently.

It was an accident and luck to enter the customs in the Qing Dynasty. In order to pretend that the Qing Dynasty worked hard, it created the illusion that a double agent killed Yuan Chonghuan, and also shaped Emperor Chongzhen into a tyrant. The overthrow of tyrants in the Qing Dynasty was also in line with God's will. After that, do as the Romans do, and go to the point of no return of fabricating lies. According to historical records, when sourdrang queen was pregnant, there was a red light around her, hovering like a dragon. On the day she was born, she dreamed that the man of God was holding a son and said, "This is also the master of the world." The red light filled the room that day, and the aroma stayed all day. Fu Lin was born with a strange appearance, a dragon horn on his head and a Zhang Longfeng face.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi can be said to be the Japanese version of Zhu Yuanzhang. Although he came from a humble background, he only shaped himself as "Phobos Apollo". Bamen's wife has always believed in Nikki Quanxian (the sun god) and often prayed for a son. One day, I dreamed that the sun entered her body, and soon I was pregnant. 13 months later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was born. That's not enough. Later, it was recorded in Guan Renji that once, when his mother went to visit relatives in Kyoto, she had sex with a noble and gave birth to him. Later, he changed his mind and said that his mother was related to the emperor and gave birth to him. Finally, Toyotomi Hideyoshi became "Phobos Apollo". It's not good for a dragon to wear a cuckold and be openly flashy.
