Li Yuan, a native of Guangzhou, passed the provincial examination in Guangzhou in the Qing Dynasty and was admitted to Xie Yuan. The next year he went to Beijing to take the exam. He thought he must be on the list. Unexpectedly, that year was not only backward, but also possessed afterwards, so I failed the exam. After a series of blows, he decided to give up the exam and study hard in business school.
After studying hard in the cold window 10 years, one night, Li Yuan dreamed that he was kneeling in front of Emperor Wenchang. Emperor Wenchang, who has been smiling at him, suddenly reached out and presented the peanuts on the table, automatically took back their shells and flew into a dish of sugar next to them.
When all the peanuts fell, they immediately turned into a herd of cows and rushed to him. Ethan was scared to death, and suddenly woke up. After dawn, he hurried to find someone to interpret his dreams. Results According to the interpretation of the dream, the dream interpreter said: "There are both pens and peanuts on the table, which must be a metaphor for the beauty of the pen, while the cow refers to the hair of the cow, which is a symbol of wisdom."
Tang gaozu was very happy after hearing this. He took the exam in Beijing with his luggage. Sure enough, as the dream interpreter said, they passed the exams one after another, and both the palace exams won the first place. Coupled with the previous provincial exams, The Three Kingdoms is even more joyful.
After his success, in order to thank Wenchang Emperor for his blessing to his high school, Li Yuan found the famous "Fengyitai" bakery in Guangzhou at that time, and asked Feng Wan Tai, the owner of Fengyitai bakery, to imitate the scene in his dream, mix rice and maltose, add peanuts, make a cow-shaped mold to make candy, and named it "Niuzhatang" as an offering to Wenchang Emperor.
