Guang Ze Zun Wang,is the patron deity of Nan'an in Chinese folk religion. He has a unique image of crossing his right leg and dropping his left leg. He is a deified shepherd from Fujian Anxi during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period,and was well-known for his filial piety and honesty. The religious movement spread from Nan'an to the entire Minnan region and to Taiwan,Hong Kong,and Southeast Asia with the migration of Hoklo people from there. During the reign of the Guangxu Emperor,a detailed account of his life and following was written.
His birth name was Guo Zhongfu,a native of Quanzhou,Anxi,Fujian Province,born in the year of Tongguang in Later Tang,on the 22nd day of the 2nd lunar month,and his family lived at the foot of Guo Mountain for many generations. [1] Guo Zhongfu was a very pious from childhood. He was working for the Yang family sheep herding in Qing Xi Village (now Quanzhou Anxi) when he would suddenly miss his parents and run back home to Nan'an to serve them. After his father's death,Guo Zhongfu was always very sad when herding sheep because his family was poor and could not afford to buy land for burial. A geomancer felt that he was very filial and pointed out to him a piece of auspicious land. Guo then asked the Yang family to bury his father there and returned home to serve his mother. [2]
There is also a folk legend that after Guo Zhongfu's father died early,his mother worked as a maid for the Yang family while Guo Zhongfu herded sheep for the Yang family. The Yang family hired a geomancer (said to be Cui Yun) to choose the location of the gravesite,but they accidentally neglected the geomancer. Guo Zhongfu's mother treated the geomancer with respect,so the geomancer asked her if her husband had been buried,and after learning that he had not,he asked her whether she wanted her descendants to be the "Emperor of China" or to enjoy "the title of marquis for ten thousand generations. "The mother chose the latter. The geomancer then told her:"Under the sheep pen is the feng shui perfect burial place (sheep shed centipede cave),you crush your husband's bones,and when you bring me breakfast tomorrow morning,you take the opportunity to scatter the ashes in the sheep pen,and then leave with your son,seeing a monk wearing a copper made bucket and bull riding a man,so he stopped. After Guo Zhongfu and his mother left Yang's house,they saw a monk with a bronze cymbal on his head to keep off the rain,and a shepherd boy hiding under the cow's belly to avoid the rain,so they chose to stay there. [3]
One day,when he was sixteen years old,Guo Zhongfu,with a gourd and a Buddhist sutra in his hand,suddenly climbed to the top of Guo Mountain and sat on an ancient vine tree. When Guo Zhongfu's mother arrived,she reached out and pulled his left leg,so people who later made the statue portrayed him with his right leg up and his left leg down. [4] [5]

Zhuge Liang's Northern Expeditions were a series of five military campaigns launched by the state of Shu Han against the rival state of Cao Wei from 228 to 234 during the Three Kingdoms period in China. All five expeditions were led by Zhuge Liang,the Imperial Chancellor and regent of Shu. Although they proved unsuccessful and ended up as a stalemate,the expeditions have become some of the best known conflicts of the Three Kingdoms period and one of the few battles during it where each side fought against each other with hundreds of thousands of troops,as opposed to other battles where one side had a huge numerical advantage.

From the 220s until his death in 255,he governed and defended Wei's western borders in Yong and Liang provinces.

Jiang Wei's Northern Expeditions refer to a series of eleven military campaigns launched by the state of Shu Han against its rival state,Cao Wei,between 240 and 262 CE during the Three Kingdoms period in China. The campaigns were led by Jiang Wei,a prominent Shu general. Unlike the previous Northern campaigns led by Zhuge Liang,which added Wudu and Yinping commanderies to Shu Han state territories,Jiang Wei's campaigns ended up being unpopular in both the military and civil circles in Shu. Also unlike Zhuge Liang's campaigns which often featured 60,000 to sometimes even 100,000 Shu Troops,Jiang Wei's were often much smaller rarely exceeding 30,000 even after the death of Fei Yi,where Jiang Wei assumed control of the military. The Zhuge Liang campaigns did suffer from logistical and supply issues for their large army. Zhuge's successor Jiang Wan,believed that it was the Hanzhong's mountainous terrain itself that were to blame for the campaigns failures and attempted to switch the route thru the Han river. Fei Yi,who succeeded Jiang Wan,agreed,and never allowed any large campaigns to be launched by Hanzhong. Jiang Wei however overlooked these concerns and used Hanzhong as his home base as Zhuge Liang did.

Though Zhu Yunwen had been the chosen crown prince of Zhu Yuanzhang and been made emperor upon the death of his grandfather in 1398,friction began immediately after Yuanzhang's death. Zhu Yunwen began arresting Zhu Yuanzhang's other sons immediately,seeking to decrease their threat. But within a year open military conflict began,and the war continued until the forces of the Prince of Yan captured the imperial capital Nanjing. The fall of Nanjing was followed by the demise of the Jianwen Emperor,Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Di was then crowned the Ming Dynasty's third emperor,the Yongle Emperor.

As he became a prominent member of the administration,Xu Guang tried to reduce the power of Shi Le's nephew,Shi Hu but could not convince Shi Le to fully remove him.

王,閩之南安人,郭其姓,忠福其名。……王世居泉之南邑十二都郭山下,山以姓得名。祖父多隱德。母感異夢而娠,誕辰八月二十二日。
王生有孝德,氣度異人,嘗牧於清溪楊長者家,晨昏之思,忽起馳歸,侍奉依依如也。父薨,艱於葬地,王憂心惸惸,雖就牧,猶潸然淚下。一形家鑒其孝,指長者山而告曰,穵此大吉。王然之,稽顙謝籲。求長者而塋之,竣迺歸郭山下而奉母以終身焉。
世傳神母傭食楊長者家,神隨之,為牧羊(或云牧牛)。長者延地師擇吉穴,家人誤以墜廁之羊具饌,師恚其不潔,母伺師盥漱甚虔,日為澣衣。師問母曰,而夫得佳城否,答以餬口不遑,安能及此,然時以為憂。師曰,爾欲一朝天子耶,抑萬代血食耶,母願其次。遂指以若見所牧之羊圈下(或曰牛圈)即正穴。爾碾夫骸,明晨雜沫湯進,傾骸灰於圈地,速挈兒遁,予亦從此逝。爾母子逃數武,遇僧戴銅笠,牛倒騎兒,是即故居,可駐足焉。值大雨,一僧以銅鈸覆首,有牧童避淋於牛腹,母曰,是吾居也。
閩書云,郭山有威鎮廟,神姓郭,世居山下……年十歲時,忽取甕酒牽牛登山,明日坐絕頂古藤上,垂足而逝,酒盡於器,牛存其骨。
後晉天福間,王年十六,忽牽牛登山,翼日坐古藤上而逝。母至,攀其左足,塑像者因塑其左足下垂。
