The life of the character
In desperation, Zhu Yuanzhang went to Gao Bin and became a monk in Huang Jue Temple. He sweeps the floor, burns incense, rings the bell and drums, cooks and washes clothes in the temple every day, and is also reprimanded by the old monk. Soon, there was a famine in the local area, and the temple could not get charity, so the abbot had to send monks around to beg alms. In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was only 17 years old, had to leave the temple to wander.
Zhu Yuanzhang begged as he walked. He went south from Haozhou to Hefei, then turned west to Henan, arrived in Gushi and Xinyang, then went north to Ruzhou and Chen Zhou, east to Lu Yi and Bozhou, and returned to Huang Jue Temple in Zheng Zhi for eight years (1348). During these three years of wandering, he traveled all over the famous cities in the west of Huai River, got in touch with local customs, saw the world, broadened his horizons and accumulated social life experience, which had a far-reaching impact on Zhu Yuanzhang's life.
