People familiar with Chinese history know that in ancient times, both ordinary people and emperors believed in gods and various ghosts, and they also worried about various rumors. If we have seen
Sui and Tang Dynasties
You know that the ancient emperors really believed in proverbs, such as the 04 version
The Legend of Sui and Tang Heroes
Zhongyu Culture and in order to get rid of the minister surnamed Lee in the DPRK, rumors were widely spread
"Sunset shines on the dragon boat, tianzi season has no head"
。
What he meant was that the Yang family's qi was exhausted, and the person surnamed Li would eventually become the emperor, and eventually Li Hun was beheaded by the door, and Li Yuan and other ministers surnamed Li also went to Taiyuan to settle down because they were out of the government. However, something unexpected happened, Li Yuan
"Jinyang Rising Army"
It actually replaced the Sui Dynasty, which shows that in ancient times, the proverb was really a terrible thing. And there are not a few people who believe in this.
In general, this is also the reason why many emperors are wary of their ministers, because this is related to the foundation of their own dynasty, so many emperors are secretive about this. In fact, the proverb is some rumors created by some ambitious people, but do not underestimate these rumors, because this rumor can be said to be related to the lives of many people, and if this rumor is used well, it can even be changed, of course, if it is not used well

finish:
Chen Sheng Wu Guang's proverb: Great Chu Xing, Chen Sheng Wang
In the first large-scale peasant uprising in history, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang made full use of it
Proverbs
Although Chen Sheng's uprising failed in the end for some reasons, his proverbs pried the foundation of Qin Dynasty rule and also brought glory to his short-term career.
In the last year of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were ordered to rush to the border pass, but according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty at that time:
"Cut the out-of-date"
Therefore, in order to save his own life, Chen Sheng wu guang moved the idea of rebellion.
However, at that time, many people were afraid of the rule of the Qin Dynasty and did not dare to resist, and Chen Sheng wuguang created a series of rumors to pry people's psychology, and more importantly, to enhance people's sense of resistance and make people realize that this was Providence.
First of all, Chen Sheng Wu Guang put a pre-prepared turtle shell in the belly of the fish and began to pry people step by step, and then Chen Sheng Wu Guang ordered people to pretend to be fox demons and shout at night
"Great Chu Xing, King Chen Sheng"
After these two steps were completed, it was to kill the commanders of the Qin army and arouse their sealed blood.
The influence of Chen Sheng's proverbs is enormous, and although Chen Sheng's rebellion against Wu Guang ended without a problem after half a year, his proverbs stirred people's sense of resistance.
Yellow Turban Rebellion: The sky is dead, and the yellow sky is standing
In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, under the dim-witted rule of Emperor Huan of Han and Emperor Ling of Han, the court of the Eastern Han Dynasty reached a precarious point, and the phenomenon of internal eunuchs interfering in the administration of foreign relatives ran through the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, leaving the Eastern Han Dynasty in turmoil; and the external Qiang chaos that ran through the Eastern Han Dynasty for a hundred years was also never resolved, and this also dragged down the financial expenditure of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
What is even more frightening is that at this time, the Eastern Han Dynasty encountered a major natural disaster that had not been encountered in a hundred years, and floods and droughts directly put the people in a deep and fiery situation.
In this situation, Zhang Jiao began to have ambitions to replace him, he was himself the leader of Taiping Taoism at that time, with many disciples, plus many years of practicing medicine in all parts of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Of course, this number alone is definitely not enough, in order to launch a more powerful public opinion offensive, Zhang Jiao let his disciples spread proverbs throughout the country:
The sky is dead, and the yellow sky is standing.
In short, the general meaning is that the Eastern Han Dynasty court has exhausted its strength, and in order to better conform to this meaning, the people inside it all wear yellow scarves.
In the end, this proverb set off a wave of rebellion in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the uprising was put down in only half a year, but his aftermath was always entangled with the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Zhang Jiao's proverb set off the foundation of the Eastern Han Dynasty.com. why? Because in order to better deal with the rebellion, the Eastern Han court agreed to give autonomy to the history of thorns in various places, but it brought greater disasters to the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Get rid of the Yuan technique of playing with proverbs
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was such a person who was Yuan Shu, in addition to the Yellow Turban Army in the Eastern Han Dynasty
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky is standing"
There is another saying called
"The One Who Substitutes for the Han Dynasty Should Be Tu Gao"
Everyone understands what the first half of this sentence means, but no one has been able to guess his meaning in the second half, but Yuan Shu is such a strange thing, in order to show his destiny, he has forced himself to connect with this proverb, and finally got rid of himself and played himself.
Yuan Shu's word is called highway, and highway can be linked
"The way"
, then isn't Tu Gao worth it? Therefore, Yuan Shu was convinced of this, and at that time, Yuan Shu held the Chuanguo Jade Seal in his hands, and the Huainan area he occupied was originally a rich land on the rich side, and if it was the ranking of strength at that time, Yuan Shu was absolutely second to none.
This combination of these kinds made Yuan Shu think that Yuan Shu was himself, so at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu brazenly claimed the emperor, but he did not expect that Yuan Shu himself had destroyed himself, and after becoming emperor, he was besieged by various forces.
It can be said that the force of the ancient saying was very large, and people who used it well, such as Li Yuan, could directly change the dynasty, while those who used it badly could directly play themselves, such as Yuan Shu.
Of course, the proverb is essentially a kind of public opinion offensive created by others, with the progress of the times, the influence of the empty proverb is getting smaller and smaller, after all, the people are beginning to become more and more shrewd, and it is easy not to mix with you because of a few empty vernacular words.
