The first thing that needs to be mentioned is that in "Kangxi Dynasty", Kangxi bowed down to Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb, which is not fabricated, but historically based.
In the "Records of the Ancestor of the Qing Dynasty", there is a speech about Kangxi's third southern tour
"Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty was the ancestor of entrepreneurship, and I made two southern tours. Sacrifice, go to the libation, today I will be fortunate, and I shall sacrifice again."...Go up the corridor and ask all the ministers to dismount outside the door. Ascend three kneelings and nine bows, and three offerings to Baocheng.
Therefore, in history, Emperor Kangxi did go to the tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Regarding the reason why Emperor Kangxi bowed down to Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb, there were factors that recognized Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a promising emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a grassy family, and has gone through untold hardships.
Although Kangxi was born as a prince, his growth process and his political experience have also experienced ups and downs, and he licked blood on the tip of a knife.
Therefore, from this point of view, the two of them relied on their unremitting efforts to finally spell out a world. This similar encounter also made Kangxi add a lot of respect to Zhu Yuanzhang. At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial power technique that made future generations daunting is certainly what Kangxi wanted to pursue. Only those at the top of power can understand the danger of being at a height.
Zhu Yuanzhang, as a generation of irrefutable heroes, his methods of governing the country, and his mastery, will surely resonate deeply with Kangxi, who is not willing to be mediocre and has thoughts. They were all emperors, and such sympathy and sympathy further encouraged Kangxi to develop a pilgrimage of personal professional ability in the process of worshipping.
But then again, Kangxi bowed down to worship Zhu Yuanzhang, mainly as a political method, whose purpose was to act as a show to maintain an orthodox image of the Qing Dynasty.
is the so-called: "If the name is not correct, the words will not go well, and the words will not go well."
The country of the Qing Dynasty was taken from the hands of the Ming Dynasty imperial family. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. The world is originally a world of great controversy for the capable. But the people of the Han nationality don't think so, because the Manchus are foreigners, they are Tarts. If the Han people seize the Han people's country, it is called "fat water does not flow into the land of the outsiders", and the country where the Han people are full of people is called "aggression", and its meaning is different depending on the nature.
Thousands of years of distinction between Huayi and Han people’s sense of national honor made most Han people extremely resist the rule of the Manchu imperial family.
How did the emperor of the Qing Dynasty change his "aggressive" nature of the Han people? Naturally, it was through the "concession" and "inheritance" of the Central Plains dynasty's long-standing legal inheritance to prove to the Han the legitimacy of the Manchuria.
The emperor of the Qing Dynasty offered sacrifices to the Ming Tomb. It was precisely to spread the political thought of "Man and Han families, seek common ground while reserving differences" to all Han people in the world. At the same time, it proclaimed that the Ming Dynasty’s national destiny was exhausted, and the Qing Dynasty was following the fate of heaven. , Not a foreign aggression.
Of course, this was also a performance in Kangxi to ease the contradiction between the Manchu and Han ethnic groups at that time.
Nanjing is the capital of the former Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang is buried in the Ming Xiaoling Tomb. These are the two totems with the greatest influence on the whole of China at that time. If Kangxi bowed his head to Zhu Yuanzhang in Nanjing, it would express the Manchu admiration and integration into Chinese civilization. Sincerity helped ease the impression of the Han people who were the majority of the population of the Manchu savagery, fully took care of the ethnic pride of the Han people, and eased social conflicts.
So, in order to appease the heart of "Ming Dynasty survivors", Emperor Kangxi personally went to the Ming Tomb to bow and worship, and promised "Never add gifts". By the way, he also reviewed when the Qing army entered the customs." Misconducts of "Yangzhou Sanri" and "Jiading Santu".
The common people saw the current emperor personally pay homage to the Ming Tomb, and promised to "never add gifts", they were moved. At the same time, Emperor Kangxi ordered well-reputed literati in the society to sing praises for the Qing Dynasty and control public opinion. Those "former Ming survivors" who were once surrounded by Ming Xiaoling to insult the Qing Dynasty were soon brainwashed by the actions of Emperor Kangxi and turned to supporters of the Qing regime.
You must know that Jiangnan was a place of literary talent at that time, and there were countless famous scholars. Although their bodies have surrendered, their minds still refuse. Kangxi’s move moved the celebrities in the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, it was recorded:
"The head of the white, the hooligan who feeds on her, does not admire the holy benevolence, and the runny nose."
So they let go of their obsession. Officially serving for the Qing Dynasty rule. The kangxi worship brought millions of Confucian scholars in Jiangnan to their hearts. For future generations, what we see is not only the high appreciation of Zhu Yuanzhang himself in history, but also the extraordinary tolerance of Kangxi. By personally sweeping Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb, he attracted Han people and expressed the friendship of the Manchu family.
Kangxi once said:
"I have been in the imperial court for many years, and it is difficult to treat the Han people."
Governing the world is to clean up people's hearts, as long as the people of the world find their opponents from their hearts. A clear sense of identity can be stabilized. Kangxi's visit to Ming Xiaoling Tomb was a kind of "means of empathy", to conquer the hearts of Han people in the world, and to prove his legitimacy. It has to be said that Kangxi knelt, knelt out the hearts of the people, knelt out public opinion, and knelt out the wisdom of a ruler who knows how to judge the situation.
This kneeling, the value of kneeling.
In fact, not only did you visit Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, but Kangxi also opened a scholarly school and set up a Ming History Museum. These behaviors are similar to each other, all for the purpose of buying people’s hearts and making it "the righteous in the world since ancient times." , The theoretical basis of “I’m not as good as my Chao”.
This actually heralded the transition of the Qing Dynasty from "wuzhi" to "wenzhi" in the Central Plains.
"Dajiangshan" and "zuojiangshan" are two completely different concepts.
There is an old saying in China: “It’s easy to start a business, but it’s hard to keep one’s business”. From Nurhachi swept across the Central Plains with the Eight Banners Tiger Master, to “Yangzhou Ten Days” and “Jiading Three Tus”, the bones and blood flowed into rivers; the emperor Shunzhi gave up his dignity and self Review, write down the sins and imperial edicts, go to the Emperor Kangxi to worship the Ming Tomb, promise never to add gifts, and work hard to create the "Kang and Qian dynasty".
This series of processes fully proved that the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, through the extensive and profound Han culture, realized that "ruling the country with force and resisting violence" can only maintain peace for a while. Only by "ruling the country by culture and appeasing the people" can the country be stable and the society peaceful.
