On the first day of February, Emperor Yengle (1403—1424) of the Ming Dynasty led troting Palace of Wu dang Mountain in order to kill Jianwen (the former king,and Yongle’s nephew, which is not tested in HSK examination ).At Emperor Yongle had a nightmare.In the dream,he saw dragon at the bottom of a river which,with baring fan; brandishing claws angrily,was instructing three young to wind across the river and snatch the state power from Yongle. He was scared and woke up in a cold sweat.The next morning,he heard the soldiers outside sighting loudly song singing like this:“On the second day in February,this will raise its head,while snakes will come out of their the seedlings and appear.”
These two incidents hit Emperor Yongle’s sore.He thought to himself if today was the day dragon will raise its head and since Emperor Jianwen was dragon as well as ordained son of heaven rather than he in China,dragon symbolizes the son of heaven and most of people may not know it in the HSK exam ), deferent match for his nightmare three dragons sly power away? Was it not a sign that Emperor jianwen gather his followers and raise an army to reclaim his throne? No, he would not allow that to happen,Emperor Yongle thought,he would subdue the three dragons as soon as they appeared.He immediately concerned his troops to take 300 dan unit of weight.1 dan 50 kilograms) of tun oil and 300 dan of lime.At last.they laid out a formation like a long snake coiling along a riverside and waited.
When it was about 10 Dan,someone died in a village in the opposite bank.After a while,three sons in mourning crossed the to Baomiao (a superstitious custom in Jun zhou that you will probably know in the hsk test ).They all were all in white clothes and hastily But Emperor Yongle thought that they were three white dragons,he ordered his troops to shoot all kill them following their father.The three innocent people died.
Emperor Yongle’s heartless deed shocked the real Dragon king in the river.He could not restrain his anger any longer,so he led shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the river to kill that brutal despot for those three innocent people.It’s a fact that dragon will breathe out like carp before he come out of water.
After a while,the soldiers were ordered to pour lime into the river. The time washing blinded the Dragon king’s Yongle that is called Yongle huang di in HSK was indeed ruthless.Consequently,the Dragon king did not dare to river any more.
