Why didn't Zhu Yuanzhang delete his history of being a beggar?

Zhu Yuanzhang was poor when he was young. He once herded cattle for a landlord and was also a beggar. Why didn't Zhu Yuanzhang delete his history of being a beggar?

Answer 1

This question involved many aspects such as historical authenticity, historical records, and historical inheritance. In Chinese history, many emperors and historical figures had their own stories and legends, and these stories and legends often had a strong personal color and legendary color.

The story of Zhu Yuanzhang, a historical figure, also contained many plots related to his past as a beggar. These plots were not real historical facts, but works produced through literary processing and artistic creation.

However, the evaluation and historical records of historical figures should be objective and fair, and should not be overly influenced by personal colors and legends. Therefore, although Zhu Yuanzhang was once a beggar, his historical records and evaluation should be based on objective facts and historical development rather than personal rumors and legends.
