Where is Zhu Yuanzhang from? Why did Zhu Yuanzhang feel inferior because of his birth?

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in an extremely poor family. Both his parents died of the plague. He was an orphan since he was a child, spared cows and worked as a young monk. He was forced to become an outlaw when the world was in chaos. I may have stolen from others when I was poor, and I was bullied in the lower class. Because he is very afraid of the words "light", "baldness", "monk", "fate" and "thief" in literary works. He used to be a Red Scarf Army under the rebel Han Liner, and was once denounced as a "red bandit" and a "red thief" by Yuan officials. So when he became emperor, he was very taboo about "thief", "kou" and words with similar shapes and sounds. In Xu Yikui's congratulatory table in Fu Xue, Zhejiang Province, there are words such as "Under the skylight, those who are born saints (monks) are thieves in the world". Originally, he wanted to praise Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was regarded as mocking him as a monk and was immediately beheaded. I don't know how many scholars and court officials were killed inexplicably because they accidentally used these words in articles or books, so that Hong Wu became cautious for a time.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty one hundred years ago, the literary world has been rather bleak, and some excellent literary works in the early Ming Dynasty were almost concentrated in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. This is also related to Zhu Yuanzhang's tyrannical rule in ideology and culture. In fact, this is due to Zhu Yuanzhang's strong inferiority complex. Although he was an emperor, he was afraid of being laughed at for his past. Zhu Yuanzhang has always been ashamed of his low status, afraid of being remembered as an orphan and a young monk, and tried to force people to forget that disgraceful history with the blood of the upper class. The endless slaughter is not good for Zhu Yuanzhang's image and the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, it can only show that Zhu Yuanzhang is an extremely narrow-minded person.

As usual, the founding emperors of past dynasties took celebrities with the same surname as their ancestors. Zhu Yuanzhang's father and grandfather were tenant farmers, and his grandfather was a wizard. They were all extremely humble people in society at that time, and there was nothing to boast about. When Zhu Yuanzhang and his civil servants discussed the revision of the jade genealogy (the royal name of the genealogy), they originally planned to bring Zhu, a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty, as their ancestor. A Huizhou official surnamed Zhu came to the court. Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately took hold of his family and asked, "Are you a descendant of Zhu Wengong (the respectful name of Taoist Zhu Xi in later generations)?"

The official surnamed Zhu didn't know the details and was afraid of lying and causing trouble, so he just saidno. Zhu Yuanzhang, a mere detained official, refused to take the liberty to recognize people as ancestors, and he had never heard of the relationship between his ancestors and Huizhou Zhujiajian for generations. If he insists on recognizing them, it's okay to have children for nothing, but he will be laughed at when he is caught. So Zhu Yuanzhang had to give up the idea of attaching himself to Zhu.

Unable to become a descendant of celebrities, Zhu Yuanzhang had to please the peasants and improve their status. He always said, "among the four people, the peasants are the most hardworking and bitter." In spring, when the chickens crow, they get up and drive the cows to the fields to cultivate, plant seedlings, weed and fertilize, sweat like rain in the big sun and work hard. It's easy to harvest, plus rent and tax, there's nothing left. In the face of drought, flood, insect disaster and locust disaster, the whole family was so anxious that there was nothing they could do. However, the country's taxes are paid by farmers, and being a policeman is also a matter for farmers ... "He tried to kill officials and tyrants from the standpoint of farmers, and even encouraged farmers to send corrupt officials to Beijing. Zhu Yuanzhang is often full of words such as "Huaiyou Buyi", "Jiangzuo Buyi", "Born in a field" and "Born in a humble place". On the surface, I don't forget my roots. In fact, I have deep psychological factors. He can call himself "Buyi", but if anyone dares to call him Buyi, it is estimated that even grandma's family will not live.

Queen Bigfoot has a humble background. At that time, women were not allowed to go out of the boudoir and wrap their feet at home, while Queen Bigfoot was just a pair of feet. At that time, they seemed uneducated, but they were married by Zhu Yuanzhang, which shows that their status and background were similar at that time.

Jinling people like to insult people. One year, watching lanterns during the Lantern Festival, there was a picture of a woman with two big feet and a watermelon in her arms. Zhu Yuanzhang flew into a rage and asked who painted it, but no one dared to admit it. As a result, everyone in that alley was killed.

Because of being in the same boat, Zhu Yuanzhang worshipped Liu Bang the most among the emperors. Liu bang killed a hero, and he killed more fiercely; Liu bang enfeoffed his children, and he enfeoffed more; Liu bang was kind to his fellow villagers, and he was even better (Fengyang was tax-free until the demise of the Ming Dynasty). Of all the founding emperors who founded the unified empire in China, only these two people were of civilian origin, and the others basically started from giants and clans.
