It is said that when he was young, his family was very poor and he often had no food to eat. One year during the Frost Descent Festival, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had not eaten for two days, was so hungry that his eyes were turning black. Suddenly, in a small village, he saw a persimmon tree full of red persimmons. Zhu Yuanzhang survived only after having a hearty meal of persimmons. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor.
