The most famous treacherous ministers in Chinese history. If Qin Hui dares to lead second, I am afraid no one would dare to lead first. Qin Hui, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, was widely hated by the people because of his power of compromising and seeking peace with Jin and urging Song Gaozong to kill the famous anti-Jin general Yue Fei. He was regarded as a traitor and traitor, and was classified as a traitor in "Song History".

The Statue of Qin Juniper in the Southern Song Dynasty "Eight Phases"

is now in the Palace Museum

in Beijing. And due to the continuous love of Yue Fei among the people, the story about Yue Fei is widely circulated among the people, so the hatred of Qin Juniper did not last over time. Elapsed and faded, but passed on from generation to generation, it is a stinking legacy in the true sense. When

mentioned Qin Hui, the first impression that appeared in everyone's mind is probably his classic kneeling statue. Among the cultural relics handed down, there is more than one kneeling statue of Qin Hui, and the most famous one is naturally the one in Hangzhou Yuewang Temple. But I believe that few people know or realize that this notorious treacherous minister has left more than infamy to future generations, and there are also some things that are closely related to our daily life, and even make people love to see.

Taishi chair

Ming Dynasty Huanghuali six-square armchair,

traditional Chinese furniture in the Palace Museum, the only furniture named after the official title is "Taishi chair". The earliest record of the Taishi Chair can be found in Zhang Duanyi's "Guei Er Ji" in the Song Dynasty. It mentioned that Qin Hui once sat on a chair with his head up, and his turban fell from his head. Jingyi Wu Yuan saw in his eyes, wanting to slap the prime minister ingeniously, so he ordered a lotus-shaped part to be made by the craftsman on Qin Hui's chair circle to support his head. The name Taishi Chair has been handed down, and some unknown descendants even said that the Taishi Chair was invented by Qin Hui.

Qing Yao Wenhan "Researching Books", the specific shape of the

Grand Master Chair in the Palace Museum has changed a lot with the times. The shape of the Grand Master Chair in the Qing Dynasty is very different from that of Song History. It has a huge body, complicated workmanship, and an armchair set in the hall. , Screen-backed chairs, etc. are called Taishi chairs. The backrest and the chair surface, the armrests and the chair surface are all designed at right angles, with a solemn look and heavy materials, but these changes are not to make the person sitting comfortable, but to highlight the status and identity of the owner.

You Tiao

You Tiao are all familiar to us. It is said that it is the only breakfast food that can reach a consensus in the North and the South. Its origin is also related to Qin Hui, the traitor of Southern Song Dynasty. It is said that after Qin Hui killed Yue Fei, the people of Lin'an Mansion (now Hangzhou) were filled with righteous indignation, but they did not dare to speak. There is a pastry chef under the bridge of Zhong'anqiao. With a clever idea, he used flour to knead two pasta men who resembled Qin Hui and his wife, then glued them back to back, threw them into a frying pan and fried them, and shouted "Fried Junipers ". The people who hated the traitorous officials rushed over to buy them and ate the "fried juniper" to relieve their hatred. Later, the craftsmanship of the Niemian was gradually simplified, using two small strips, one representing Qin Hui and the other representing his wife Wang. The two were twisted together and fried in a frying pan to become the current fried fritters.

Idiom "The tree falls down and the hunger is scattered"

The Northern Song Dynasty "Ape and Monkey Picking Fruit",

in the Palace Museum, in addition to tangible furniture and noodles, there are common idioms handed down by Qin Hui. Song Pang Yuanying's "Tang Xuan · Cao Yong's Wife" recorded a story, saying that there was a servant named Cao Yong in the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty. After Cao Yong became a high official, many people came to flatter him, but his brother-in-law Li Dexin never showed him courtesy, because he expected Cao Yong would not end well. Later, after Qin Hui died, those who depended on Qin Hui fell one by one, and Cao Yong was demoted. After Li Dexin got the news, he wrote an essay titled "The Tree Falling Down the Hun San" to Cao Yong, satirizing Cao Yong and others as monkeys on the tree, and Qin Hui is the fallen tree. Later, "the tree fell the hunger scattered" became a derogatory idiom, and it is still often used today.
