Noodles are the eight mysteries of the ancient mysteries that have not been solved in Chinese history, I don't know which one you have seen?
1. The Mystery of the King of Yama
In the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the small city of Fengdu, which is bordering the Three Gorges, backs the mountains and faces the river, is said to be the seat of the Yanluo Royal Palace. There, from the beginning of the Tang and Song Dynasties, a series of projects such as 48 temples of large and small sizes such as the "Jade Emperor Hall", "Yan Wang Hall", and "Yin and Yang Realm" were successively built, which is the "ghost city" that people talk about and change color. The people usually call its chief leader the King of Yanluo.
This king of Yama, it is said that he "lived in the first hall, and because of his pity, he died of mercy, and repeatedly released the yang and stretched the snow, and lowered this temple."
From the Sui and Tang dynasties to the Qing Dynasty, it was popular to say that the kings of Yan Luo were popular. The first is the Sui general Han Hu. The second is the Northern Song Dynasty's name Xiang Kou Zhun. The third is the northern Song Dynasty famous minister Fan Zhongyun. The fourth is the Northern Song Dynasty Longtuge Zhi Bachelor Bao Zheng. Fifth, the Southern Song Dynasty.
A position as king of Yama, according to legend, has five reincarnations, but it is very compact. The prototype of the King of Yan Luo has not yet been unified.
Second, the mystery of Yang Guifei's corpse
Yang Yuhuan (719–756 AD): Taizhen. Rich in posture, good at singing and dancing, and through the rhythm of music, he was a court musician and dancer of the Tang Dynasty. Her musical talent is rare among the concubines of the past generations, and she is praised by later generations as one of the four beauties of ancient China.
In the fourteenth year of Tianbao (755 AD), the three towns of Fanyang, Pinglu, and Hedong made An Lushan rebel in the name of Qing Jun's side and anti-Yang Guozhong, and the soldiers pointed directly at Chang'an.
The following year, when Emperor Xuanzong of Tang fled with Yang Guifei and Yang Guozhong to Shuzhong (蜀中, in present-day Chengdu, Sichuan), passing through Ma Songyi (馬嵬驿, in present-day xingping, Shaanxi), Chen Xuanli's accompanying soldiers unanimously demanded that Yang Guozhong and Yang Guifei be executed, and then mutinied and killed Yang Guozhong with a knife.
Tang Xuanzong said that the country was loyal to the chaotic dynasty, but the noble concubines were innocent and wanted to be pardoned, but the soldiers of the forbidden army all thought that the noble concubines were the red face of the country, and the anshi rebellion was caused by the noble concubines, and it was difficult to comfort the hearts of the army and boost the morale, so they continued to surround the emperor.
Tang Xuanzong accepted Gao Lishi's advice, and in order to protect himself, he had no choice but to kill Yang Guifei. In the end, Yang Guifei was given a white aya and hanged herself under the pear tree in the Buddhist hall, when she was Chinese New Year's Eve eight years old.
This is the allusion to Bai Juyi's "Long Hate Song" that "the six armies do not send helpless, like a moth to die before the horse".
When Emperor Xuanzong returned to the palace after the Anshi Rebellion was settled, he sent people to search for Yang Guifei's body, but he did not find it.
Since then, Yang Guifei's whereabouts have become mysterious, but some people have found her tomb in Japan, but most people still think that Yang Guifei is dead, but the body cannot be found.
Third, Xiang Yu refused to cross the mystery of Jiangdong
"Still thinking about Xiang Yu, I refuse to cross Jiangdong." The Chu-Han battle xiang yu was defeated, and finally ended up with a self-defeating Wujiang. Why didn't Xiang Yu cross the Wu River? For more than two thousand years, people have said all kinds of things.
There is a view that the western Chu overlord is not jiangdong because Yu Ji is dead. Some people believe that Xiang Yu's failure to cross the Wujiang River is out of a noble quality, which is considered to eliminate the people's war suffering at an early date.
Why doesn't Xiang Yu cross the Wujiang River? For more than two thousand years, both literati and historians have paid great attention to it, but it is still difficult to reach a conclusion.
Fourth, the mystery of the Pearl of the Night of Cixi
Luminous pearl is a fluorite mineral, and the reason for the luminescence is related to its containment of rare earth elements, which is caused by the movement of electrons related to the mineral.
The person who carved the pearl into the fluorite is called the night pearl, and the night pearl that can shine is not the pearl produced by the pearl mussel. There are still many mysteries of the Pearl of the Night, which have not yet been understood by experts. It is still a mysterious mystery that has not yet been completely solved.
The closest night pearl to us, the most famous, is estimated to be the one with "Meiling jewelry shoes" in Cixi's mouth. According to the person who stole Cixi's tomb, that is, Sun Dianying, this bead is divided into two pieces, and when closed, it is a round ball, which is transparent and lightless, and when it is closed, it reveals a green cold light, and the hair can be seen within a hundred steps at night. It is recorded in the book that it weighed four, two, two, and seven cents (133.4375 grams today). Cixi contained it in her mouth to protect the corpse from decay.
Xiao Yi remembered that when he was a child, he watched Uncle Ying's TV series "Zombie Daochang" and there were several episodes in which it was said that Empress Dowager Cixi was not transformed because of this night pearl, and then turned into a zombie.
Fifth, the mystery of "Push back map"
One of the most famous chinese prophecies is one of the most famous books in chinese prophecy books, and it is said that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the prophecy masters Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang predicted important events in the Tang Dynasty and later dynasties. There are sixty images in the whole book, named after the sixty koshi and the gua elephant. Because of the accuracy of its predictions, the rulers of successive dynasties were shocked and have been listed as forbidden books. Can "Push Back" really predict the future?
There are roughly two versions of the "Push Back Map" that is widely circulated by the people: one is the more common Qing Dynasty scholar Jin Shengsi's annotated "Push Back Map", referred to as the golden version; the other is found by Mr. Li Shiyu in a German journal, which is said to be the closest to the original version, which is still preserved in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
Sixth, the mystery of hezhen's favor
Since the Qing Dynasty, there have been only a few Ming emperors, and the Qianlong Emperor is one of the more prominent. But what is strange is that around such a sage, he is always followed by a traitor, and this traitor is Hezhen, and the folk have a saying that "Hezhen falls, and Jiaqing eats enough". However, why would such a traitor be so favored by Qianlong?
Some people think that it is because he is good at speculating on Qianlong's thoughts. The famous "Qianlong Lower Jiangnan" was formed by agitation with He yan. It is also said that it was a concubine who resembled Kangxi and Kangxi, and this concubine died unjustly because of Qianlong. What is the truth of the matter? And for what exactly is it favored? It can only be left to posterity to comment.
7. The Mystery of the Locked Dragon Well
Legend has it that during the Ming Dynasty, the old Dragon King wanted to flood the city of Beijing, and was locked in this well by Liu Bowen with a large iron chain. Liu Bowen left a message, when the bridge is old, repair the wings of the bridge, and the street lamp is not facing down, let the old dragon king come out. But people did not build a bridge here, but built a temple of Yue Wang on this well, and named this place "Beixin Bridge", which was not known under the bridge, so the old Dragon King was forever towned in the well.
Earlier, an old temple in the northeast corner of the North New Bridge intersection was converted into a flower shop, and there was really a well in it, which is said to be the lock dragon well of that year. Now, the Dahua Department Store has been built there, and workers have buried the well when it was built.
The iron chains in the well could not be moved, otherwise the city of Beijing would be flooded. It is said that when Japan invaded China, it forced the common people to pull the iron chain in the well, and the iron chain was endless and could not be pulled. Pulling down the well began to roll up the black water, accompanied by the sound of rumbling water to smell fishy. The Japanese soldiers were also frightened, and quickly put the chain back into the well to cover the manhole cover and did not dare to move again.
The location of this well should be near Metro Line 5, and when the Beijing Subway Line 5 was built, Beijing had rumors that the subway was rerouted to avoid an ancient well. The real experience of the Japanese people made the relevant departments dare not take risks.
The seven mysteries in Chinese history sound interesting and mysterious, but they do exist, and no one has been able to solve them so far, and no one can explain them. Xiao Yi has also gained insight, what do you think about this?
