We were quite harmonious when we visited Famen Temple, but when we visited Qianling Mausoleum, we finally had a conflict, and the cause was because of our personal evaluation of Wu Zetian.
At that time, Tan Rui led me to visit Qianling Mausoleum and saw two huge stone tablets standing in front of the mausoleum.A piece on the west side is called Shusheng Monument, and the one on the east side is Wu Zetian's wordless monument.The stele of Saints is a stele erected by Wu Zetian for Emperor Gaozong's praise of merit. She also personally wrote an inscription with more than 5QQ0 words, with black lacquer stele surfaces, and the words are filled with gold powder, which shines brightly.On the east side is Wu Zetian's wordless monument.Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, all emperors and generals have hoped that they could erect monuments and erect biography after their deaths, but the stone tablet of the only female emperor in Chinese history did not have a single word engraved at that time.
Wu Zetian's wordless stele was carved from a complete huge stone. It is 753 meters high, 21 meters wide, 149 meters thick, and weighs 989 tons, giving people a solemn and thick, integrated beauty.The stele has not been named, only the head of the stele is carved with eight dragons, which are cleverly entangled together.This stele without words has always been famous, attracting attention for its prominent position, and is popular for its exquisite carving art and legendary legends.When tourists come to Qianling, they almost always stop in front of the wordless monument, take photos, or give comments.In the eyes of tourists, the wordless stele is not only a symbol of Qianling Mausoleum, but also a symbol of Empress Wu Zetian.
Tan Rui stood in front of the monument and told me vividly about the causes of this monument without words:
Brother He, do you know why there are no words on the wordless stele?There are three sayings among the people.The first statement believes that Wu Zetian erected a stele without words to boast about himself, indicating that his merits and virtues cannot be expressed in words; the second statement believes that Wu Zetian erected a stele without words because he knew that his sins were serious, so he felt that it was better not to write the inscription; the third statement believes that Wu Zetian was a self-aware person, and erecting a stele without words was a clever move. His merits and demerits were left to future generations to comment on, and he did not comment on it.
There is another saying that has been obtained in recent years.During an inspection by the Shaanxi Institute of Cultural Relics, the Shaanxi Institute of Cultural Relics accidentally discovered that the sun surface of the stele without words was carved from top to bottom. After investigation, these were not carved by later generations.Each of these squares is 4 cm long and 5 cm wide, and is arranged neatly.There is only one possibility, they were originally intended to engrave letters on the stone tablet, and the inscriptions have been prepared.According to the grid left on the monument, the inscription has about 33QQ characters.So, why is the prepared inscription not engraved on the stone tablet?
Historians made this speculation: Wu Zetian had already written the inscription before his birth and handed it over to his son Li Xian. Wu Zetian was in power for decades, but after the Shenlong coup, Wu Zetian was forced to give way to Li Xian and restore the country's name Zhou to Tang. Although Li Xian was Wu Zetian's biological son, he lived in panic for a long time. Although he could not vent his hatred after ascending the throne, he could not speak good words to praise his mother, so he had to say no to carve it, leaving Wu Zetian a stele without words.
It was only after the Song and Jin dynasties that tourists wrote inscriptions on the stele, which became a stele with characters.However, most of the descendants did not respect history and lacked dialectical historical view. They only cared about their own catharsis and started to write when they caught a place. The stele made a huge stele into the old monk's patchwork robes. The text in front was vaguely clear, and the text in the back was engraved, forming a bed and a house, like a pot of paste.They are not like us contemporary people, and they have a correct view of Wu Zetian, so they can only make future generations ridicule.
I heard that Tan Rui seemed to have a good impression of Wu Zetian, and her words showed a bit of admiration, and I couldn't help feeling even more unhappy.Because I have loved history very much since I was a child and are very clear about the historical deeds of the Li Tang Dynasty. I admire the personal historical achievements of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and Emperor Xianzong of Tang, but I don’t have much favorable feelings for Wu Zetian.
I asked her calmly: Tan Rui, it seems that you admire Wu Zetian very much. Is that true?What do you think of the ‘Written-free Stele’?
Of course, Wu Zetian is the number one among women, counting the five thousand years of civilization history in China.Under the thousands of years of patriarchal rule in ancient China, Wu Zetian was the only orthodox female emperor, the oldest ascendant, and one of the longest-lived emperors. Moreover, she was also a female poet and politician, which is commendable.
Under her rule, she was in harmony with the people, pacified border troubles, boldly reformed her writing, attached importance to the imperial examinations, and opened up the subjects, and did not care about family backgrounds, which stimulated the enthusiasm of ordinary people to study and study, and promoted the comprehensive development of culture.Wu Zetian himself was proficient in historical books, poetry and prose, and was also proficient in calligraphy, especially in Feibai and running and cursive script.History says that during the reign of Wu Zetian it was the legacy of Zhenguan.
I agree with the fourth statement of "wordless stele". A great woman who has dominated the political arena for more than half a century will never escape the status of a patriarchal appendix. How sad and unfair this is for Wu Zetian? The "Written-free Monument" shows the deep helplessness of this great woman.
The great Chairman Mao once commented that Wu Zetian had the ability to tolerate others, the wisdom to recognize others, and the skill to use others.Mr. Zhongshan’s widow, Ms. Soong Ching Ling, once commented that Wu Zetian was an outstanding female politician in the feudal era. In terms of family roles, it is not difficult to see that Wu Zetian was also a good wife.Brother He, you should know these deeds.Tan Rui praised Wu Zetian with great enthusiasm.
I felt even more unhappy when I heard Tan Rui shaking her lips and talking about this cruel, ambitious and licentious monster Wu Zetian.When Tan Rui talked about Ms. Soong Ching Ling's comment on Wu Zetian being a good wife, I finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
Hahaha... Can Wu Zetian be considered a good wife?Hahaha... This is the first time I heard about it.If Ms. Soong Ching Ling really commented on this, then I can only say that she lacks profound understanding and research on history, but she just takes it out of context and hearsay from the perspective of feminists!
Tan Rui showed a puzzled expression on me. From her face, it can be seen that she was obviously angry with my ridicule: Brother He, Ms. Soong Ching Ling is an outstanding leader and figure of our contemporary women. How can you mock her so rudely?
I have no disgust towards Ms. Soong Ching Ling, but I suspect Ms. Soong Ching Ling would comment on Wu Zetian like this, so I did not explain my statement immediately, but asked: Tan Rui, does Ms. Soong Ching Ling really comment on Wu Zetian like this?
That's of course, do you think I'll coax you?Tan Rui was very unhappy with my doubts. She got up and went to a Qianling souvenir sales site, bought a copy of "The Legend of Wu Zetian", and found out the author's preface about Soong Ching Ling's evaluation of Wu Zetian, and pointed it out to me: Look, isn't this? Will I talk nonsense without any basis?
