Brief introduction of Tieguan Taoist Zhong Zhang and the ending of Zhong Zhang's characters

Zhong Zhang, an iron-crowned Taoist, is a character in the martial arts novel "The Dragon Slayer by Eternal Adversity" written by Mr. Jin Yong. In the setting of "Eternal Dragon Slayer", Zoroastrianism, to which Zhang Wuji belongs, is the largest leader, followed by the left and right ambassadors, the four protectors and the five scattered people.

Zhong Zhang, a Taoist priest with iron crown, is one of the five scattered schools. Everyone knows this person, mostly through "Eternal Dragon Slayer", whether it is a film and television drama or a novel. But in fact, this character is not created by Mr. Jin Yong, but has a real historical prototype. Zhong Zhang, an iron Taoist, was a famous Taoist in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. He was good at predicting fortune and helped Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. He has a certain position in Taoism and is the ancestor of tin pots and pans.

In the thirty-first year of Yuan Shizu Zhiyuan, Zhong Zhang was born in Linchuan County, Fuzhou Road, Shufu, Xingzhong, Jiangxi Province. His real name was Jinghua and Jinghe. Zhong Zhang was educated from an early age and studied classics and history, aiming to glorify his ancestors in the future. However, I took many exams, but I failed from Sun Shan many times. Finally, I simply gave up the imperial examination and indulged in mountains and rivers.

It was while he was enjoying himself that Zhong Zhang met a gifted scholar. Later, he entered the door. With this person, Zhong Zhang learned Taiyi divination, observed the changes of the wind and cloud, and predicted the fortune of the day, which was very effective.

Zhang Zhongxing walks in the world and tells others his fate, because he always likes to wear an iron crown. Therefore, after he became more and more famous, he was named as "Tieguan Zi" and "Tieguan Taoist". In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to unify the whole country and station troops in Chuyang. Zhong Zhang was summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang on the recommendation of Deng Yu.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself still believes in fantasy, so after seeing this Taoist priest, he asked him about the world's plans. Zhang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's face and replied, "You are a twins, and your appearance is very expensive. You are very successful. Nowadays, the world is in chaos. If it is not the fate of the world, it is difficult to unify the whole country, and you are the fate of the world. In the future, you will shine in Guang Shen, like the wind sweeping the clouds, and you will become an emperor. "

Zhu Yuanzhang admired Zhong Zhang and left him in the army. Every time there is a war, Zhong Zhang can observe the weather and help Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is said that during the Poyang Lake War, Chen Youliang was defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang and even killed by an arrow. At that time, neither Chen Youliang nor Zhu Yuanzhang knew the news that Chen Youliang had passed away. In addition to Chen Youliang cronies, only Zhang looked at Xie floating clouds and learned about it.

Zhong Zhang immediately asked Zhu Yuanzhang to write a eulogy and send it to Chen Youliang barracks to recite the cause of death. Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Zhong Zhang's suggestion and really wrote a eulogy to Chen Youliang's troops. Chen Youliang was the only one who later learned that their leader had passed away. The army immediately fell into chaos and its morale was shaken.

Otherwise, when General Xu Da was just a little general, Zhong Zhang saw his face and left a comment on writing. Said that his eyes are like fire, the future is boundless, and his career is prosperous. But unfortunately, it can only live to middle age, but it cannot live longer.

Xu Da was brilliant in the future and became one of the founding stars of the Ming Dynasty. After his death, he was named King Zhongshan. Unfortunately, however, he only lived to middle age at the age of 54.

Another story says that Aquamarine once visited Zhong Zhang and sneered at Zhong Zhang, saying, "It's impolite to wear poncho shoes to welcome guests." Zhong Zhang replied: "You are disloyal to holding a coconut ladle as a lamp!" Aquamarine later rebelled, which confirmed Zhong Zhang's prediction of "infidelity".

After the Ming Dynasty unified China, Zhong Zhang lived in Beijing for several years and soon drowned. The emperor ordered to look for his body, but it was nowhere to be found. Later, it is said that on the day when Zhong Zhang threw himself into the water, he saw Taoist Tieguan leaving Tongguan with a staff.

There is also a saying that after the war, Zhong Zhang left like Zhu Yuanzhang, and has been at large since then, and there is no trace.
