Friends who like to listen to Guo Degang's crosstalk must be familiar with his "opening poem": topmixer coin mixer

The bamboo shadows of Mount Lushan have been there for thousands of years, and the clouds lock the peaks while the water flows freely. The Yangtze River is like a jade belt, and the bright moon rolls like a golden ball. The road is far to the northwest, and it is overwhelming to the southeast. The beautiful scenery is too beautiful to be seen in one go, so come back to visit if you are destined to do so.

Sotopmixer coin mixer, do you know who the original author of this poem is?

Yes, it is Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

As everyone knows, Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty, worked as a beggar and a monk, and joined the peasant rebel army. Of course, it is impossible for him to study at the Imperial College and become a juren or jinshi.

Therefore, many people assume that he must have no cultural level, or even be "illiterate", which is a deep-rooted "education discrimination".

It is true that Zhu Yuanzhang did not have a normal learning environment when he was young due to the reality. But he never underestimated the great role of knowledge.

When he developed independently, established a government, and became the "Duke of Wu" and "King of Wu" of the Han Song regime, he always took time out from his military career to read books.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty and the establishment of the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang "woke up at dawn and went to bed at midnight", reading so much that he forgot to eat and sleep ("forgetting to eat until late at night").

Zhu Yuanzhang often discussed and exchanged ideas with scholars such as Liu Ji and Song Lian. After decades of exposure to them, Zhu Yuanzhang was born with wisdom and intelligence. He could always draw inferences from one thing and make a plan. This was in line with the ancient sage Zhuge Liang's method of studying "looking at the general situation on his own". His true cultural level of self-taughtness was probably far superior to those ordinary Confucian scholars who could only read ancient scriptures.

"Ming History Chronicle": [Taizu... was always in the line of study, and he never stopped reading.]

Tan Qian's "Guoqie": [When the King of Wu was young, he could not read. After he started his army, he was close to Confucian scholars every day and read the divine interpretations. 】

Liu Ji, Liu Bowen, once said in his compilation of "The Emperor's Collection of Essays" that Zhu Yuanzhang "had no interest in music and beauty, no hunting and pleasure", "concentrated his mind and thought deeply about the truth" when reading, and "wrote articles as soon as he picked up the pen, all of which were profound and magnificent, elegant and far-reaching. When he looked up and wrote, his thoughts were like a deep spring, and in an instant, smoke and clouds filled the paper, like the Yangtze River rushing thousands of miles."

Of course, there were ministers' flattery of the king, but Zhu Yuanzhang's high talent, hard work in learning, strong ability to understand and transform knowledge, and great help to himself in handling military and national affairs were indeed "the emperor's edicts were far away, shining thousands of miles away, as if he could see through his lungs and liver", which made these Confucian officials bow down to him and "beyond their reach".

Zhu Yuanzhang wrote many poems throughout his life, and countless of them have been handed down:

Poems on Mount Lu:

The bamboo shadows of Mount Lu are thousands of years old, clouds lock the peaks and water flows freely. The Yangtze River is like a jade belt, and the bright moon rolls like a golden ball. The road is far away in the northwest, and it is overwhelming the southeast. The beautiful scenery cannot be seen in one moment, so I will come back to visit it if I am destined.

Thinking of old age and testing strength:

I saw a fat horse passing by a carved saddle, and it fluttered its mane in the wind to test its frosty hooves. I tried to bend the bow in the past, and the arrow was shot into the string and the moon was even.

Visiting Mount Zhong:

The Brahma King's home in Yanggu, Zhongshan, and the Udumbara flower in front of the Indra platform. I only heard the lion's roar when playing, and the monks were dressed in brocade robes.

Zheng Chen passed Xiaoxiang:

The alfalfa smelled at the head of the river, and the clouds and rain crossed Xiaoxiang. The east wind awakens the hero's dreamtopmixer coin mixer, It's not Xianyang but Luoyang.

Canglang Weng sails on the sea:

The sea and sky are boundless, The mast of the huge ship is high and holds two dragons. When the sail is full, the wind is strong, and when the rudder is wide, the water is majestic. The waves are rolling on the back of the giant turtle, and the rainbow is touched by the head of the sea clam. When will I return to the mooring place, I should also tie the cable to the Crystal Palace.

To the Taoist of Shenle:

The immortal old man wants to support the sky with cranes, and the wind is majestic. The feathers are stable and ride outside the sky, and the red light is across the universe. The flying talismans gather everywhere, and the sword drives away the plague ghosts. I heard that Huang Ya's heart turned, so why bother to find the immortal sect.

The autumn wind blows the flute:

The west wind blows the fallen leaves and the yellow flowers bloom, and the children in Niubei Village play the flute well. I have seen people leaning on the building listening, and I always hear the moon cranes flying up. The Cang River is all autumn, the red leaves are shining against the evening glory. The cold dew makes the stars shine, whose house is the sound of the mist?

Also:

Summer goes to Zhongshan, the quiet and secluded rocks are full of joy. The fragrant breeze blows from the south, the pine trees are filled with music. The black monkeys howl in the daytime, the phoenixes nest in the tung trees. Ganoderma lucidum grows in the deep valley, and the auspicious clouds are majestic. Through the gaps in the trees, I can see the blue sky, which is as clear as green lotus. I can hear the woodcutters chopping wood, and the pearl snails along the winding stream. Birds are singing in the deep mountains, and my face is also happy. When I meet a wild man, he is dancing happily.

Song of missing my family:

The tall branches in the garden are like clouds, and there are kind crows feeding their young. The young birds are called to fly, and they soar in the sky in the morning and evening. Sometimes they can fly with their strength, and sometimes they can't fly in the branches. They call back and forthtopmixer coin mixer, and their feathers are hard, and the long wind flutters their wings. Parents fly together, following each other closely; the young know to return home, which is their nature. I think of the humble people in the past, how miserable and haggard my parents were. I sigh and sigh in my dreams, but my heart never dies. How can I stretch myself if I am not as good as birds?

Of course, there are the two most famous poems:

Untitled:

The sky is my tent and the ground is my felt. The sun, moon and stars accompany me to sleep. I dare not stretch my legs at night, for fear of stepping on the mountains and rivers and destroying the country.

To the monk:

Kill all the millions of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, the sword on my waist is still bloody. The old monk does not know the hero, but only asks his name.

I wonder how confident some modern people are, calling a poet who can write so many neat and magnificent poems "illiterate"?

Zhu Yuanzhang had 26 sons and 16 daughters in his lifetime, but he only had 46 concubines with real titles, which was not a lot compared to the status of a founding emperor. Not only did Liu Bowen compliment him on his "lack of interest in sex", but he himself often boasted that he was not interested in women and only liked reading.

Zhu Yuanzhang regarded other women in the harem as mere reproductive tools, except for Empress Ma, who shared the joys and sorrows with him in poverty and had a deep affection for him..

He took in these concubines simply to reproduce as many offspring as possible, to turn himself from a solitary person into a large and prosperous family, so that his sons could be used to establish fiefdoms, and his daughters could be used to marry and win over meritorious officials, so as to consolidate the foundation of the empire he established as much as possible.

The same principle also applies to reading. Compared with those scholars who "pick up sentences and spit insects", the knowledge that Zhu Yuanzhang studied carefully throughout his life is also the knowledge that is truly "practical", which can truly transform knowledge into power and be used to govern the country and maintain peace.

Song Lian, a famous official in the early Ming Dynasty and a recognized scholar at the time, was mocked by Zhu Yuanzhang without hesitation: "Although you are well-versed in ancient and modern times, it is a pity that when it comes to doing practical things, you are hesitant and useless!" ([Er Lian is well-versed in ancient and modern times, but unfortunately he is inactive when facing things, and hesitant and indecisive in every matter. If you were to review, you would be more than enough, but if you were to implement, you would be very inadequate.])

It is a pity that the later emperors of the Ming Dynasty, because they grew up in the deep palace, lacked practical experience, and were born with the most traditional Confucian education, they gradually became "Confucian scholars" and "literati". The later they were, the more so. They were completely different from the emperors on horseback like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di.

For example, if the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian was stripped of his status as an emperor, what difference would there be between his style of doing things and that of a Confucian scholar? Moreover, he was the most devoted Confucian scholar who strictly followed the Confucian creed and cultivated himself.

The diligence and self-discipline of Emperor Chongzhen throughout his life were not all a "show" for his ministers when the country was in crisis. Instead, he truly believed from the bottom of his heart that as long as he could "cultivate himself and manage his family" perfectly, "peace would come to the world." This dream was not awakened by the ruthless reality until he died for his country on Coal Hill.

So, of course, knowledge is power, which is true for any great person. Knowledge itself is never useless, but only those who study hard.
