First of all, the periods when Zhu Yuanzhang said these two sentences are different. When he said "The Yuan Dynasty was a Hulu beast", when Zhu Yuanzhang planned to rebel, he was definitely rebelling as a peasant and had no foundation of his own. National sentiment needs to be stirred up to boost morale. He said that "relying on him for survival" is actually when he is a leader. At this time, he needs to improve his own structure to stabilize the regime.

The concept of "Hulu beasts" appeared during Zhu Yuanzhang's crusade against the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, in order to incite morale and get more farmers and middle-class people to support his rebellion, he could only talk about the Yuan Dynasty vigorously. No, only if we overthrow the Yuan Dynasty will there be a bright future. Only in this way can farmers and the middle class see their own interests being put before them and fight for them. If you still say that the Yuan Dynasty is good at this time, then who will be willing to go to war? When you give yourself, you must also be given what you need.

But when Zhu Yuanzhang began to be the commander-in-chief, his ideas slowly began to change. After all, a person's pattern is related to his environment. Especially when he wins a battle, the pattern must be more than just fighting and killing. After all, his ultimate goal is to be the emperor, win over people's hearts, and stabilize the regime. If you blame the previous emperor blindly, what is the difference between you and the previous emperor's violence? Buddha said: "If a person can always conduct self-reflection, he will correct his shortcomings many times and will be praised by wise men." Therefore, he felt that at this time, he should not blame the previous dynasty, but should reflect on himself.

So we have our own parents who are "relying on them for life". We still have to respect the previous dynasty. Although they have many bad things, we ourselves have to examine ourselves three times in order to let them Perfect yourself.
