Life is only a hundred years, Live and cherish it. With the development of the feudal society period, people gradually believed in this . is just for the emperor. is prosperous and wealthy for a lifetime. How can you no longer enjoy the comfortable and comfortable days like ? so they began to rely on immortality, reincarnation , etc.
Taking Qin Shihuang as an example, he has been arranging the priests of the martial arts world to help Qin Shihuang find elixir of immortality in order to achieve immortality and live for the same life of heaven and earth. has only been searching for it for a lifetime, but in the end it is still that cannot escape death.
The subsequent emperors, after experiencing failures again and again, finally realized the reality of , and no longer struggled for their ideals. Although it is impossible to achieve immortality , the body of is immortal after death, and has become another target of many emperors.
For this purpose, they set up some special protection to ensure that the physical body still exists after the spirit of is annihilated. So what did the ancients hold in their mouths after their death? Next, let’s take a look at the choices of Qianlong, Cixi , Wu Zetian and others.
Emperor Qianlong
compares Qing Dynasty to Qianlong of the country of the Celestial Empire. He can be regarded as the emperor who has been in power for the longest time in ancient Chinese history. He is also the happiest emperor in the development of feudal history for two thousand years.
Because of the solid foundation laid by grandfather Kangxi and Father Yongzheng , Emperor Qianlong did not need much effort at all, could enjoy the world. It’s a pity that Qianlong is good everywhere, only consumes willfully and keeps his complacent, makes people feel regretful.
The original Qing Dynasty's economy had developed to a very considerable level. The sufficient treasury could even support the Qing Dynasty to go to war with multiple countries and forces at the same time.
can Emperor Qianlong go to Jiangnan six times, wasted , and forced the huge Qing Dynasty to turn from profit to loss. Later generations can only comment: must be you.
More importantly, after economic waste, I never thought of using switch trade and to recover, which also led to the overall development of the entire country, which was seriously behind countries around the world.
In the end, Qianlong left the country where he enjoyed his life with reluctance. But he was unwilling to let him go, so he entered his own imperial tomb with a jade cicada in his mouth.
In Qianlong's view, jade cicada can be removed from the shell . If the shell is removed, will be reborn from the dead . This meaning also shows what Emperor Qianlong thought.
Of course, for Emperor Qianlong’s dangerous idea, Jiaqing , the emperor did not choose to refuse. After all, he really didn't believe that Qianlong could be resurrected by just one Jade Cicada .
Cixi
As for the object that Cixi said, I believe everyone knows, it is an night pearl . Sun Dianying After blowing up Cixi's tomb, all the objects inside were exposed to the world.
But Cixi did not think of opening a copy of her life again and continuing to rule the Qing Dynasty, just to protect her body. After all, Cixi is different from Qianlong. She knows very well what kind of terrible situation she will face if she can really be reborn.
Not to mention her quelling to foreigners, after , foreigners still don’t take her seriously. Just from her suppression of , a domestic reformer, Cixi clearly understood that she would have to be overthrown if she survived, and even was executed by in public.
Don’t look at Cixi before she died, she was still in full bloom. But only she herself knew that this was just the last little authoritative that was reflected in the Qing Dynasty.
Rebellions have been happening all over the country, and the Qing Dynasty always couldn't suppress it.
For Cixi, as a person who has been hiding the entire country for her whole life, it is impossible for her to pray that the people of the country will forgive her. Leaving this world as soon as possible is also a kind of liberation .
In addition to this, the reason why Cixi contains the night pearl is also a continuation of her luxurious life. She is not like Emperor Qianlong and has no other good wishes. Dead with only a lot of funeral objects should also make her rich in another world.
Wu Zetian
Finally, it is the most unique Wu Zetian. As the only female emperor in China's five thousand years of history. What exactly did Wu Zetian put in her mouth after she died? No one knows it at all.
Only recorded in Unofficial History , she said that is neither an image of seeking reincarnation nor a priceless treasure like Night Pearl. She just placed a small wooden stick of .
The meaning of this wood is also very simple. In fact, it is Wu Zetian to prevent future generations from saying gossiping.
Wu Zetian experienced too much in his life. In the feudal era when men were superior to women and inferior to , they were able to successfully become the emperor of the country with their own strength, and the ups and downs were beyond imagination.
Wait until dies in his later years , the ministers and ministers force Wu Zetian to force Wu Zetian, which also made Wu Zetian angry and helpless. The situation is stronger than that of people, she could only give up the throne, and in order to protect the Wu family, she entered Qianling as the queen.
And she knew that future generations would not let her go easily. So after the tomb was established, Wu Zetian used inscription without words to be portrayed by everyone, and the merits and demerits and faults were judged by later generations.
contains wood and enters the imperial tomb without giving anyone a handle. She knew clearly that if she wanted to protect her family, she could only use a more extreme way.
Some people may think that Wu Zetian’s political skills in the past were too cruel. But at this moment, the dead are the most important. The grievances and disputes in the world will not affect the underground.
