The figure is reminiscent of folklore
when Yuan Shikai became emperor, saying that he was the reincarnation of a toad. Not to mention, from the perspective of appearance, Yuan Shikai's stubby body, his neck is even thicker than his head, his legs are short and he walks with splayed feet, just like a toad, too similar. In addition, there are legends that Yuan Shikai always huffs openly every rainy day-probably because he has some asthma problems. But this is also a regular action of the toad~~
is in line with the folk proverb
. There is a folk proverb that “toad can’t pass the Dragon Boat Festival”, which means that toad is made in the Dragon Boat Festival. It is often impossible to avoid the disaster days. Yuan Shikai died on June 6, 1916, which was the Dragon Boat Festival of that year, in response to folk proverbs. Folk proverbs are a reflection of public opinion, whether it is scientific or not, but it is an expression of folk mood at that time. Yuan Shikai restored the monarchy and reversed history. He was met with unanimous opposition from all over the country. He died amidst a wave of opposition and cursing. This is God's will, and it is even more popular!
During Yuan Shikai’s term as governor of Shandong, he was hated by the people of Shandong because of his cruel suppression of the Boxer Movement. His yamen had been affixed with portraits of old tortoises many times during the Spring Festival. People called him Yuan Shikai as "a turtle" and a tortoise. Son of a bitch. However, the image of "鼋" did not spread very much, but later the image of the toad became more and more popular and became a toad.
As for whether this toad essence evolved from the big tortoise "鼋", it has not been concretely verified.
will force natural phenomena to be attached to
It is said that in the summer of 1916 when Yuan Shikai was enthroned, the toads of Taoranting in Beijing turned the sky and the sound of frogs was deafening. The street talks were rumored to be that Yuan Shikai’s primordial spirit arrived at Taoran Pavilion and triggered it. "Noisy"!
The propaganda of the deification of people
and in the rumors, Yuan Shikai has been exposed. One day during the lunch break, the servant brought a pot of tea to pour Yuan Shikai, and found that it was not Yuan Shikai lying on the bed, but a huge toad. The servant smashed the teapot in astonishment, but this jade pot was Yuan Shikai's beloved thing, and the servant was anxious. So the servant asked the counselor of Yuan's house for help, and the counselor taught him that you said that you saw a colorful golden dragon and you broke the pot in fright. As a result, Yuan Shikai not only didn't blame the servant, but was very happy to reward him and told him to keep it secret.
Another legend is that after Yuan Shikai's death, someone saw a big toad popping out of his bed, staring at it with bulging bubble eyes and staring away for a long time, staggering without end.
The ten great spirits made trouble in the Qing dynasty
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, it was rumored among the people that ten hostile monsters in Xishan, Beijing became spirits. According to the personality characteristics of these people, people have carried out rich artistic imagination and processing on them, and have given them different animal characteristics. They are: Xiong Jing Dorgon, Badger Jing Hong Chengchou, Ou Jing Wu Sangui, Zhu Jing Nian Gengyao, Donkey Jing Hai Lancha, Wolf Jing He Shen, Fox Spirit Empress Dowager Cixi, Python Jing Zeng Guofan, Monkey Jing Zhang Zhidong and toad essence Yuan Shikai .
now seems far-fetched to be too rich and interesting. Isn’t it funny and funny? !
At the same time, I have to admire the super association ability and abstract thinking ability of the people in Beijing!
From Yuan Shikai and others, they roughly knew people's views before they were alive, but they enjoyed the mysticism of being deified, and even more and more thought that they were not mortals with naked eyes. Therefore, Yuan Shikai, who was seriously ill, was particularly afraid of the Dragon Boat Festival. He said to himself that the toad could not pass the Dragon Boat Festival, so he died on the Dragon Boat Festival.
From the personal feelings of the editor, I am actually willing to recognize Yuan Shikai as a "toad fine", because the more you think about it, the more interesting it is, and the more you imagine it, the more it feels too amazing! Five short stature, short and thick neck, and with his head held high, he kept breathing; especially those big eyes that bulged so brightly, so vivid! This kind of image, this kind of look is none other than Yuan Shikai! Haha.
Historical public figures do not involve privacy and are not afraid of comment, so you can evaluate Yuan Shikai to your heart's content. Welcome to leave messages and comments below, thank you for your advice!
