The founder of the Han Dynasty, later generations called him Gaozu Liu Bang. He was born in a peasant family, and later in the troubled times, due to fate, he became the founding monarch of a dynasty. I don't know if it is a common disease of human beings, or the unique virtue of Chinese: they always like to look up to the powerful, and wear "colored glasses" to worship all "celebrities" shrouded in "light".

History is a fait accompli, and history cannot be assumed. Although I know this truth, I can't help but assume that I am scribbling here today. If Liu Bang did not succeed in the troubled times at the end of Qin, if Liu Bang was defeated in the battle between Chu and Han, he would not be able to become a "Gaozu" for the rest of his life, and he would only be a "Liu Ji" until his death, which is the so-called "Liu San". The victor is the prince and the loser is the thief, this is a law that no one can change. "Liu San" succeeded, and he became the ancestor of the Han Dynasty; If "Liu San" fails, he will just be a rogue and a bandit Liu Ji.

Because the long-standing traditional concept of "people are divided into three, six, nine and so on" is too deep in the bones, coupled with the people's sense of self-contempt is too strong, and there is the so-called "for the venerable, for the elderly" and so on social atmosphere impregnated, so that when people look back at the past of "celebrities", they often use the eyes of "deification" and "sanctification" to examine everything related to them. For example, if you have always been an ordinary person, people will say that you are a "useless" guy when they talk about it; If you later achieve something and become a so-called "celebrity", when people remember you, they will say that your peeing posture is the same as that of the dragon and the phoenix, and the mud you and the mud are even. Originally, this was a simple and ridiculous fact, and anyone can figure it out, but we have been kidnapped by the concepts of "noble and noble" and "lowly civilians" for too long, so that we are accustomed to it, unable to extricate ourselves, and difficult to identify.

Liu Bang was born in a peasant family, and his parents should have little education. This can be seen from the records in the historical books: Liu Bang's father is Liu Taigong, his mother is Liu Yuan, and the three brothers Liu Bang are Liu Bo, Liu Zhong, and Liu Ji. I don't know if this is a written record by the people who wrote history, or if that's what they were called in the first place. According to popular saying, the names of their family are: Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, Liu Da, Liu Er, and Liu San. To put it mildly, it is not much different from "A Cat" and "A Dog".

What kind of character Liu Bang was before he seized the world, we can know a thing or two from his own mouth. In the ninth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (198 BC), the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an was completed, and in order to celebrate the completion of this royal palace, Liu Bang feasted the ministers in the Weiyang Palace. At that time, Uncle Liu, the father of the former "Liu San", was still alive, and it was natural for him to take his son's light and participate in this grand celebration dinner. According to the custom, after Liu Bang accepted the toast from the ministers, he came to his father with a glass and a red face to toast his father. This "Liu San" said to Uncle Liu:

"Dad, I think back then, when my father was farming at home, you kept scolding me, saying that I was lazy and didn't grow, and I was no different from a scoundrel. You always feel that Liu Da and Liu Er are hardworking, hardworking and simple, and they are the croppers who do their duty. Look at it today, who is more promising, me or the eldest or the second? ”

When later generations commented on this record, they liked to praise Liu Bang with "Zhigao and talented". However, I think it is this passage that exposes the nature of Liu Bang's scoundrel. This passage also vividly reflects Sima Qian's straight history. is obsessed with his father's reproach, and he is proud of his success. Even if it's a joke, it's time to take into account the feelings of the elderly. This incident illustrates two points, one is that in Uncle Liu's eyes, "Liu San" is really a scoundrel, or used to be a scoundrel; The second is the rogue nature of "Liu San", which has not changed after becoming the emperor.

is such a scoundrel, after winning the throne, he became a legend. This legend, of course, has to start with Aunt Liu's pregnancy. It is said that once, Aunt Liu was resting on the shore of a large lake, accidentally fell asleep, and had a dream in which she dreamed that she had sex with a god. On that day, it happened to be thunder and lightning, and the weather was dark, Uncle Liu was a little worried about his wife, so he went to find his wife, and when he went, it was said that he saw a dragon attached to Aunt Liu's body. Soon, Aunt Liu found out that she was pregnant, and when she was born, the child was the third son of the Liu family, so she was named "Liu San", which is the so-called Liu Ji.

This record was written by Ma Qian of the Taishi Company, and of course it was basically recognized by the Han court and the royal family. Because I didn't see the ban and ban, and it has been handed down.

This is "deifying" Liu Bang, but who knows that it leaves too many questions:

Is Liu Bang Uncle Liu's son?

Did Aunt Liu have an affair?

Why doesn't Liu Bang have the same duty as Liu Da and Liu Er?

Why didn't Uncle Liu like "Liu San" before?

Liu Yuan's dream is a bit self-defeating. Sometimes, improper grease and powder not only do not increase the beauty, but also tend to make the flowers ugly.

Liu Yuan's dream can be regarded as a man-made dream!
