Master of the Shaved Head: The story goes that Emperor Tai-tzu of the Ming dynasty had a carbuncle on his head that could not be cured. Every time the barber came to court he had to be very careful not to cut the carbuncle and incur the emperor's wrath in the form of decapitation.
相傳明太祖朱洪武頭上長惡瘡，久治不愈，每回剃頭師傅總是小心翼翼，萬一不小心割破惡瘡、觸怒皇帝，就得拖去砍頭。
