Chapter 6 1. Interpretation of Zhu Yuanzhang's autobiography

The ancients said that extraordinary people will surely accomplish extraordinary things.That is to say, only those great figures can make great achievements.The greatest cause in the world is to create an empire. There are many empires in Chinese history, but the most eye-catching one is the Ming Dynasty. Why is the Ming Dynasty so attractive? This reason is more complicated to say, but there is at least one key factor, that is Zhu Yuanzhang who founded the Ming Empire, this person is a bit different. What makes Zhu Yuanzhang different? In order to answer this question, Zhu Yuanzhang once wrote a biography about himself and engraved it on the stone tablet.This autobiography helps us understand and learn many success rules, but before that, we must study this reportage, which is the personal narrative of the person involved, and its authority is beyond doubt.

Zhu Yuanzhang's autobiography is divided into five parts, the first part is the beginning.He said that one day Zhu Yuanzhang was full and fine, and suddenly thought of his parents, so he wrote this reportage to report his life achievements to his parents. The second part of the autobiography is about family history.The content of this part mainly says that Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a poor farmer's family and lived a difficult life until he was 16 years old.The worst thing is that the whole family died again. They had no choice but to escape into the Buddhist monastery, hoping that the Buddha would feed them.But I never thought that the Buddha was also ruthless and ignored him at all.He had no choice but to knock on the wooden fish and beg along the street. He was blinded, experienced vicissitudes, his feet were worn out, his voice was broken, and his tears were shed, but he could not see the hope of life.

The third part of the autobiography is the dark groping.As the saying goes, "I like to see a thousand waves of rice and millet, and heroes everywhere. Since ancient times, no one in life has died, and a gun is the grass head king. Poor bones by the river, Zhongshan is in a panic..." Suddenly, one day During that period, the world was in chaos, and the common people in the four villages and five li all took up kitchen knives and rebelled vigorously.Zhu Yuanzhang, who was hiding in the temple, faced an important philosophical topic in his life-to be or not to be?War or Peace?Should I pick up the kitchen knife and join the army of knives, or go to bed and continue to love peace?Undecided and hesitant, he asked the Buddha for advice.But the Buddha made up his mind to play him to death, and after three consecutive divinations, the dropped chips all stood upright, and he couldn't see any signs of it.

The fourth part of the autobiography is to find the organization.When Zhu Yuanzhang was desperate, he closed his eyes and defected to the uprising organization. However, due to lack of experience in the internal struggle of the organization, he made a serious line error at the beginning, and was almost eliminated as a class enemy.But the organization quickly found out the truth and cleared his grievances, and since then he has gained the trust of the organization.With utter loyalty to the organization and deep-seated hatred for the enemy, he went through life and death, took the lead, and soon became a brave, resourceful and excellent commander.

The fifth part of the autobiography is Towards Victory.Under the brilliance of the organization, Zhu Yuanzhang had a clear mind and a high fighting spirit. He fought south and north, fought east and west, and went from one victory to another.History chose Zhu Yuanzhang, and the people chose the Ming Dynasty. It was precisely because he followed the wishes of the people that Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor of the Ming Empire.From then on, he worked conscientiously, fulfilled his duties, and caught any beautiful woman he could catch, Xingyu, so as to live up to the expectations of the people... Generally speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's autobiography is about these things.

Speaking of an animal like the emperor, the beauties in the harem are overwhelming, covering mountains and valleys.So the emperor's daily life can be summed up in one word: busy.But being so busy, Zhu Yuanzhang still spared precious time to write his autobiography, which shows that this matter is no small matter.Therefore, this autobiography is worthy of our careful interpretation to find out the elements that are beneficial to our success in life and career.After learning the revolutionary experience of Emperor Zhu, the next step is to seriously understand it in our work and life, thoroughly implement it, melt it in the blood, and implement it in action...but wait for the implementation.In Zhu Yuanzhang's autobiography, except for saying bitterly that there is still some information about the history of the revolutionary family, the rest of it is all nonsense.Especially in terms of joining the organization, gaining trust, and constantly going from one victory to another, he didn't say a word about the most important details.We can't help asking, why did Zhu Yuanzhang keep going from victory to victory?Why do others keep going from one failure to another?Could it be that Shengli is Zhu Yuanzhang's own father, and he likes him so much?

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang's autobiography is very well written.But this is just a high-level ideological guidance. There are two key points to interpret this autobiography. One is that Zhu Yuanzhang's start was low, so low that it was beyond imagination. It can be said that it is three thousand feet underground, digging coal for Lord Yama.The second is that Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements are so great that he is the only one in the sky and the world, and he is the only one in the universe.From digging coal for the Lord of the Underworld to contemptuously looking down on the world, I am the only one who is the only one. The span of life during this period runs through Zhu Yuanzhang's powerful spirit of striving.We must learn this spirit, and then figure it out, Zhu Yuanzhang, why is he so energetic?And how this spirit guides his life practice.

Knowing this, you can understand the Ming Dynasty. Appendix: The Monument of the Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty Emperor Yuanzhang, the filial son, would like to state: In the summer and April of the eleventh year of Hongwu, Wu Liang, Marquis of Jiangyin, was ordered to supervise the construction of the imperial hall.At that time, I took a peek at the shape, but when I saw the blue face and the bright head, I suddenly thought about the hardships of the past.The inscriptions on Kuang Huang's mausoleum are all whitewashed by Confucian officials, which may not be enough to be a warning for future generations.Specially describe the hardships and prosperity of Ming Dynasty, so that generations can see it, and the date of his speech is:

In the past, my father, the emperor, lived in this place, and the agriculture was difficult, and he was hesitant day and night.In Russia, natural disasters were prevalent, and family members suffered. Huang Kao finally had four out of sixty, and nine out of fifty imperial concubines died. Brother Meng died first, and the whole family stayed in mourning.The owner of the landlady doesn't care about himself, he screams high, and he doesn't share the land, so the neighbors are melancholy.Hu Yi's generosity benefits this yellow soil.There is no coffin outline in the funeral, and the body is covered with evil clothes.Float to cover three feet, lay He Yao pulp.After the burial, the family was in panic.Brother Zhong is young and weak, and his livelihood is struggling.Sister-in-law Meng returned to her hometown in the east with her young child.There is no rain on the day, and the relict locusts soar.The people here are short of food.Grass and trees are food.What's wrong with me, I'm frightened.It's a plan with my brother, how is it normal.Brother Yun went here, and each went through fierce famines.Brother cries for me, I hurt for brother.The emperor is in the daylight, weeping and breaking my heart.The brothers walked together, mourning the distant sky.Wang's old mother raised funds for me, sent her son to send her off, and prepared sweet and sweet incense.Respect the Buddha at the empty door, and go in and out of the monk's room.After two months of residence, the head of the temple closed the storehouse, everyone was planning their own plans, the clouds and waters were flying, what could I do, I had nothing to do, I humiliated myself, and looked up to the sky.There is nothing to rely on, and the couple will look at each other, rushing forward suddenly, throwing themselves at the ancient temple at dusk and tending to stagger.Looking up at Cui Wei on the cliff and leaning against Bi, listening to the ape crying at night and the moon is desolate.The soul wanders and finds no parents, and the ambition is downcast and chivalrous.The westerly wind and the cranes are rumbling, and the Russian patter is flying frost, the body is like a canopy chasing the wind, and the heart is boiling like boiling soup.

A floating cloud for almost three years.Twenty years old and strong, it was the Changhuai robbery, and the people's livelihood was in chaos.So the heart of homesickness is obvious, and the day is far away from home and country.After returning home, he still resumed his career in Yuhuang.I have lived in the square for three years, and the male jumps off the beam.At the beginning, Ruying was in chaos, and at the second time, it was the South Chamber of Fengyang.Soon the city fell into the city, and the city god was deep.If you refuse to go, the order is clear.A friend sent a book, and the cloud was about to descend, worrying and fearful, and there was no way to discuss it in detail.Those who are enlightened will make their voices heard.At this time, persecution but no self, try to discuss with those who know.But he told him, "If you hold your hands and wait for wrongdoing?"Also fight to kill each other: those who know make plans for me, and pray for the shadows in silence.As he said, he will go to guard He Xiang.Shen Nai is cloudy and alert, and his spirit is gloomy and blustery. The rules of divination and divination are inauspicious, so it's okay to be fierce.

That is to say, it rises and falls and attaches to the city, almost created by ignorance.Shaoqing was released and is in good health.From ignorance to morning and evening, daily abstinence.The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty punished the crimes, and the soldiers went to the soup.If you can't grab it once, you can grab it again.Move the camp and change the base, and the banners face each other.It's over, abandon the spear and the gun.I got rid of the brigade, rode a horse to control the frontier, and traveled to the south, feeling comfortable and bright.It is recommended that farmers join the army, and their career is good.In less than a month, the crowds gather, and the red flags cover the fields and fill the hills.Take the lead to cross the Qingliu, stay in Chuyang, think about relatives and inquire about the past, and be generous all day long.Knowing that Zhongda has passed away, only her son-in-law and nephew survive.The son-in-law invites the son to live in me, and the nephew sees his uncle as if he sees his mother.At this time, Mrs. Meng also knew about it, and she and her sons and daughters all followed her.The second brother has died for several years, leaving the widow alone with a basket in the wild.Because of the soldiers from the north and the south, the livelihood is busy.Gathering for a while is like rebirth, it's hard to pull clothes and complain about the past.So the family has dependents, and the soldiers are trained abroad, and the heroes are driven together, and the food is not bad.Temporarily stay in Xuhezhou, and cross the Taijiang River eastward.Who is the first to caress the aunt, etiquette is the most important.So he decided to build a business, and guarded the customs four times.Raise your troops and feed your horses, and watch Jieyong quietly.The heroes are self-sufficient in sound teaching, and Ge Yutian is simple and sonorous.Yuan Gang's insufficiency is nothing more than the law of his ancestors, and there is no benevolence for heroes.Yu is Zhang Huang's sixth division, and the flying flag is horny.The brave serve, the wise praise, personally conquer Jingchu, subdue Pinghuguang, Sanmiao, and Guanghai into the border.Order the generals to go east to Wu, Yue, Qi, and Lu, and to shine in Jingzhu.To the west are Huyi, Luo, Wei, and Han, and the land is dangerously close to Hehuang.It is not easy to enter Hudu, and the city is not easy, and the tiger ministers show their sharp edges and shine like stars.Self and long drive Jingxing, inside and outside the rivers and mountains, the common people become dependent.Guanzhong is set, the city alley Shenghuang.Yuan Tu and Le Lang returned to the books, and there were ten kings from the Three Kingdoms in the Southern Fan.The tripod is determined according to Jinling, the phoenix is ​​entrusted to the tiger, the sky is high and the moon shines on the sea, and Zhongshan is the town of Yue and the mountains are connected to Yinhuang.If you want a small burial in the thick mausoleum, the divination will be impossible, and the land will be stored.So the ceremony of the sacrificial event has been determined, and every essence is steamed and tasted.However, it is difficult to repay the kindness of the toil, and the stone is inscribed in the imperial hall.Carrying fortune from generation to generation and practicing morality must be like Yin and Shang.The tear pen is used to express difficulties, and the heir is Fuchang.Jishou worships again, and is willing to come from time to time. In the eleventh year of Hongwu, it was Wuwu, and it was built on an auspicious day in July.
