Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once said: "Beggars have extraordinary merits and must treat extraordinary people." And Liu Jian is an "extraordinary person". According to the contents of Dr. Zhai Ailing's thesis, Liu Jianzhi's birth, death and life experience have many strange manifestations, which are recorded in the history books of Ming and Qing Dynasties.
In the story about Liu Jian's behavior, it is described that when Liu Jian was born, Zhang, Liu Jian's mother, dreamed that an angel in the sky came to nave with a purple jade belt. Zhang was awakened. Soon after, Liu Jian was born with a protruding skull. Liu Jian's father, Liu Liang, thinks his son is unusual.
This statement has been recognized by later generations and widely circulated, such as Jia Yong's Epitaph of Liu Jian, Li Lei's Qing Shi Lu and Li Zhi's Collection of Books.
Seven immortals
Moreover, there are some strange phenomena in Liu Jian's life experience. For example, in the seven manuscripts compiled by Lang Ying in Ming Dynasty, there is a special account of Liu Jian's deeds.

The mystery of longevity
Liu Jianshou is 93 years old, which is really enviable. The story of "Seven Immortals" also shows that Liu Jian is usually physically strong.
How does Liu Jian keep fit?
In ancient times, ministers should not only fulfill their duties, but also care about the health of their superiors, especially the emperor. During his stay in the pavilion, Liu Jian told the emperor many times about his health care experience. The following excerpt is-.
In the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, on August 29th, the eunuch informed Emperor Xiaozong that he was unwell, and Liu Jian asked the emperor to take photos first.

In August of the same year, Liu Jian was ordered to select two Hanlin bachelors and edit the book Materia Medica with Taiyuan Hospital officials. Soon, Liu Yu, an official student of Taiji Academy, took credit for compiling the Compendium of Materia Medica compiled by Qiu Jun, so he asked Liu and others to compile the book and then sent it to the cabinet for compilation and preface. Liu Jian saw through Liu's wishful thinking at a glance. He requested that the formal students of Thai Hospital be examined and screened, and then two academicians who had been selected would help supervise the completion of the book.
Zheng 10, 74-year-old Liu Jian was approved to retire honorably. Since returning to Luoyang, Liu Jian has lived in a small building behind closed doors and supervised his children's reading.
All these show that Liu Jian's daily life is very regular and pays great attention to taking care of his body.

The stars fell on Luo.
There are some strange stories about Liu Jianzhi's death. Liu Long wrote in Liu Jianshan's letter: Liu Jianshan was photographed and seldom got sick in his later years. One day, he suddenly felt sick, so he couldn't eat and was very ill. A few days ago, a big star fell in Luoyang City, emitting red smoke. People from far and near are amazed and privately think that this is a sign that Liu Jian will die.
I wrote the epitaph of Liu Jian, and also wrote that before Liu Jian died, a star fell in Luo, and the red smoke lasted for several days. Soon, the news of Liu Jian's death came out.

Ming Shizong deeply mourned the death of Liu Jian, dropped out of school for one day and offered sacrifices to nine altars. Emperor Jiajing ordered the relevant departments to preside over the funeral for Liu Jian, and gave Liu Jian a surname, Shi Wenjing.

According to Yu Ruji's "Ming Li" manuscript: "In Huize people, those who are officials in their own positions and have made achievements are called famous ministers; Those who are born in their native land and learn their virtues are known to the world and are called national saints. "
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a system of worshipping famous officials and rural sages. Its purpose is to "set a good example for future generations" and "make a county prosperous", thus helping the world and guiding the people, and playing an extremely important role in maintaining and improving social education.
In the Qing Dynasty, there was a temple of three sages in Dongguan, Luoyang County, which was dedicated to famous scholars in Luoyang in the Ming Dynasty, such as Yan Yuxi, Bai and Liu Jian. In the west, there is Liu Wenjing Ancestral Temple, dedicated to Liu Jian.

In addition, there are Bachelor Square, Shaofu Square, Taibao Square and Zhuguo Taishi Square. They were all built in memory of Liu Jian.
