With the deepening of the archaeological cause, people have also followed the archaeologists to further understand the whole picture of history. Many times, the historical "truths" that we mistakenly think are proved by archaeology, but what appears to us is a different scene. Those stories and legends that have been circulated in the long river of history have experienced the baptism of time for thousands of years, but after revealing the truth through archaeology, many times they are refreshing our cognition, and the character we want to talk about today is like this, although in the whole history, he has been scolded by future generations for more than two thousand years, but when the archaeological team dug up his mausoleum, we understood that this was a misunderstanding from beginning to end.
This person was Liu He, the Marquis of Hai di.
Born on July 25, 92 BC, Liu He was the grandson of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty and the shortest reigning emperor in the entire history of the Western Han Dynasty. In the relevant historical books, most of the records of Liu He are critical. People say that he is a man who does not learn and has no skills, and that he only knows how to enjoy pleasure in his daily life, and that what he hates most is to learn Confucianism, in short, in the historical records, Liu He is basically lackluster. It is precisely because of this that the understanding of Liu He by later generations is also based on the records of these history books, and liu He has been criticized to the end, until later, Liu He's mausoleum was discovered by archaeologists, and the various relics found in it only lifted the misunderstanding of more than two thousand years.
Liu He's mausoleum was officially excavated in 2011, in Liu He's mausoleum, there are a large number of bamboo Jane, and these bamboo Janes just show that Liu He himself is not an unlearned person, on the contrary, he is still more enthusiastic about scholarship, otherwise it is impossible to place so many bamboo Janes in his own mausoleum as funerary products; secondly, in Liu He's mausoleum, there are also portraits of Confucius, in some history books, it has always been said that Liu He is very disgusted with Confucianism, but through this archaeological discovery, How could a person who hated Confucianism place a portrait of Confucius in his mausoleum? Moreover, in Liu He's mausoleum, there are many classic Chinese classics, as well as some artifacts given to him by his grandmother Lady Li...
All kinds of indications show that Liu He is not as unbearable as the relevant history books say, and the relevant archaeological findings confirm that he is thirsty for knowledge, which is really in conflict with the "no learning and no technique" in related comments, and Liu He also has feelings for his grandmother Lady Li, who has always preserved the artifacts given to him by his grandmother, and has also been brought to the mausoleum, which shows that Liu He himself is still relatively filial and relatively affectionate. A person who cherishes righteousness, but in the hereafter has been misunderstood for so many years, he thinks that he himself is also dumb and eats Huang Lian, and he can't say anything bitter.
It can be seen that many times, what is said in the books is not true.
What is even more absurd is that the history books have also recorded that Liu He did some 1127 rather absurd things in just 27 days, which at first glance really seemed very surprising and had to make people criticize Liu He himself. But if you think about it carefully, these 1127 absurd things must be done in seven days, which means that more than 40 absurd things have to be done every day, and this day is only 24 hours, how can Liu He achieve such "achievements"? Therefore, those seemingly absurd data, which itself is fictitious, cannot be used as a basis to judge Liu He himself.
So, why do the relevant history books record Liu He like this?
Many people say that the history books are just written by the victors, and this can also be seen from Liu He's story. After Liu He became emperor, it was the so-called three fires of the new official's appointment, and he focused on punishing adultery and eliminating evil, and wanted to further strengthen his centralized power, but in the process, he endangered the interests of some people. Liu He had just ascended to the throne, and did not allow himself to stand on the foundation, so it was naturally difficult to resist these forces, and finally he ended up with the fate of an deposed emperor.
In 59 BC, Liu He died, but only at the age of 33. In the end, Liu He was still a little younger, and he didn't know much about the way of forbearance, so that he was squeezed out of power early in that fight.
