Folk stories about Zhu Yuanzhang

Zhu Yuanzhang's father, Zhu, settled in Dongxiang village, zhongmou county at the age of 50. He has been running around all his life, begging for help. He spent the longest time as a helper in Xiaoxishan, where the five rivers and Jiashan meet, and his wife, Chen, once begged in this area behind Zhu Yuanzhang's back. Zhu Yuanzhang's birth name is Chongba. At the age of seven, he helped the rich herd cattle in the mountain village.

As a child, Zhu Yuanzhang was clever and naughty, and he was the king of cowherd boys in mountain villages. Every morning, they drive a herd of cattle up the mountain and get to the overgrown place to eat grass. Cattle are grazing on the hillside, and the dam directs a group of cowherd boys to fight and compete at the top of the mountain. It is stipulated that children who have suffered losses are not allowed to cry, and they are not allowed to go home and tell adults. Whoever breaks the rules will be severely punished. One day, a child was beaten by the heavy eight and his nose was bleeding. He went home and told his father that the heavy eight was severely beaten by the rich man. The next day, the child who was severely punished for eight times knelt down at the "big flag" for a long time and never dared to say a word after returning home. If it rains, they will get into the cave, play hide-and-seek or sleep, and send people to keep watch at the mouth of the cave when they sleep.

What they often play is the game of pretending to be the emperor. They used bamboo on the mountain as flagpoles, took off their coats and tied them on the bamboo tips, and erected them as flags. Chongba calls himself the emperor. He found a waterwheel to make a balanced crown on his head and a piece of broken wood in his hand to make a board. He told his friends to line up and kowtow to him in turn, calling him long live. After shouting hooray, everyone laughed and made a mess.

Zhu Yuanzhang slept in the bullpen and ate wild vegetable soup from the rich man's house. He often drags his tired body hungry and drives the cattle back to the village. . In her young mind, the seeds of hatred have already been planted, and the idea of revenge has sprouted. One day, a young bull was knocked down by a big cow and couldn't get up. Eight friends were called together and proposed to kill and cook the calf. If you say it, you can kill anyone. Everybody prepare separately, bring knives, too many cooks kill calves (right

The legend of killing cattle with thatch), peeled off the skin, picked up a lot of pine branches in the ravine, and burned them to eat. Roast beef smells good in the ravine. Cowherd had a good time and ate for three days in a row. Still heavy eight have calculation,. He stuck the cow's tail in the crevice and went home to tell the rich that the calf had got into the crevice.

When the rich man came to the big ravine, he saw that there really was a calf's tail in the ravine. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and his tail cocked up and swayed from side to side. The rich man grabbed the calf's tail with both hands and pulled it out with all his strength, but he couldn't pull it out. At that time, the rich could still hear the calf "Cleisthenes" in the mountain crevice. The rich man was so tired that he was sweating and exhausted that he stopped to watch carefully and found that the gap in the mountain was very small. How did the calf get in? I wonder! At this time of T-man, there were three thunders on the top of the mountain, "Kaka, Kaka", followed by the call of the strong wind, the rain poured down and the trees staggered. The calf really got into the belly of the mountain and never saw its tail again. The calf really got into the mountainside. Nowadays, some people say that the calf has turned into a golden bull, and has gone into streams and Shan Ye. Some people say that they have seen Taurus in the mountains on a rainy night. Xiaoxishan discovered a gold mine in the Ming Dynasty. After liberation, rich gold deposits were confirmed by geological exploration. In 1980s, a gold mine was opened on Xiaoxi Mountain, and a gold company was established in Wuhe County. This is "Jiwo Mine". After a heavy rain, there was gold shining in the excavated mountain soil. People in mountain villages often look for gold in the mountains. People say that Zhu Yuanzhang's little ox has benefited future generations.
