In ancient times, our country has always been a feudal society with an autocratic monarchy. Not only that, the power of the king has also become more concentrated and authoritarian with the development of the times. From the initial system of three provinces and six ministries, to the end, power was only tightly held in the hands of one person, and the power of the monarch was strengthened.
But this change was also caused by feudal thinking. The rulers took advantage of everyone's insecurity and did not participate in political affairs. The emperor was also afraid that the power he held in his hands would be taken away, so he continued to Transfer power into the hands of subordinates.
In ancient times, the emperor has always been regarded as the true dragon emperor, the chosen son. It is understandable that even we are now called the descendants of the dragon. Although the dragon vision is fictitious, it is indeed the belief of the whole nation and a totem of our Chinese nation.
In ancient legends, there is also the term dragon vein. Traditionally, dragon vein is the place where a new dynasty will be born. The first emperor's family all became dragon naids. In order to consolidate his power, the emperor would often send people to cut off all other dragon veins in the world at that time. This was also caused by the influence of feudal ideas, so he sent his subordinates to complete this matter. In the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was even more afraid that his throne would be shaken, so he sent his confidant Liu Bowen to cut the dragon veins in Changbai Mountain.
After Liu Bowen arrived in Changbai Mountain. But he suddenly ran away in a hurry. Everyone wonders why this is happening? Liu Bowen has always been a very mysterious figure in history. There is a saying that goes like this: "Zhuge Liang divides the world into three parts, and Liu Bowen unifies the country." It can be seen that Liu Bowen had a great contribution to the unification of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, Liu Bowen has always served Zhu Yuanzhang.
From the beginning of Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising until he became emperor, Liu Bowen worked tirelessly to be by Zhu Yuanzhang's side. After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he had no choice but to escape from the strange circle of the so-called dragon vein. One day, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly woke up from his sleep. He anxiously summoned Liu Bowen into the palace and told Liu Bowen that he had just dreamed about the birth of a real dragon. He asked him to send his henchmen to cut off other dragon veins, otherwise someone would come to rob him. throne.
Liu Bowen had no choice but to go according to the order. At that time, he traveled across mountains and rivers and led his troops to search for all the dragon veins in the world and cut them off, but only the one in Changbai Mountain was left, but he lied about it. Later, some people became curious, so why did Liu Bowen kill so many people but did not cut off the dragon veins of Changbai Mountain? It turns out that there is a saying that the so-called way of heaven is lacking. Cutting off the dragon's veins is a very destructive thing and will affect the family's fortune.
At that time, Liu Bowen had cut off more than ninety pieces. If he refused to leave even one piece, he thought it would affect the well-being of him and his descendants, so Liu Bowen stopped at that time. Some people also say that the Changbai Mountain dragon vein left by Liu Bowen was the later Aixinjueluo family. Although I don’t know whether this statement is true, many people still believe it.
Everything in the previous feudal history of our country was controlled by the rulers and served the imperial power. Now, the reason why we are said to be the descendants of the dragon also gives us new hope.
In ancient Chinese feudal society, Feng Shui is also a long-standing mystical art. The ancients believed that the land we live in is alive, and the dragon veins are regarded as the foundation of the country. The dragon is the geographical context, the soil is the dragon's flesh, the stone is the dragon's bone, the vegetation is the dragon's hair, and the water is the dragon's blood. The ancients used the five methods of "Feng Shui" - "looking for dragons, observing sand, and observing." "Water, point points, and standing directions" to find the dragon veins of this dynasty, in order to claim the divine right of kings.
