Qin Shi Huang has a very high status in history, and can be called an emperor for thousands of years. But in the folk, Qin Shi Huang's reputation is the most stinky, in addition to the well-known story of Meng Jiang's daughter crying on the Great Wall, Qin Shi Huang also did the horror of peeling people's skin to make the waterproof layer of the Great Wall, thanks to a good and clever chef foiled Qin Shi Huang's plot, so that the migrant workers of the Great Wall of Great Wall escaped the disaster. In order to commemorate this brave chef, but also to expose the cruelty of Qin Shi Huang, although this story is not rigorous, it is still widely circulated.
The story of Meng Jiang's weeping of the Great Wall mentions that for the people who could not work, Qin Shi Huang ordered these dying people to be filled directly into the foundation pit of the Great Wall, and even the pit where people were buried was too lazy to dig. Qin Shi Huang did not regard the people as people at all, in order to make a waterproof layer for the repaired Great Wall, the mad Qin Shi Huang actually planned to peel the people of the Great Wall and then use the human skin as a waterproof layer. Whether this thing is true or not, it is very scary to hear. Seeing that thousands of tortured and dying men were about to usher in a catastrophe, a cook who had received the news in advance thought of a way to save everyone in the midst of the crisis.
The people's husbands worked cattle and horses all day long, and drank porridge that could illuminate the shadows of people. Usually, the cooks who cook the porridge to cool and then give it to the men. But that day, the chef moved the steaming porridge to the construction site and urged the men to eat it quickly and vigorously. In the face of everyone's doubts, the chef only made a disobedient action of killing his head, and let the men drink hot porridge. Just when everyone was drinking and sweating, Qin Shi Huang appeared, and the chef quickly went forward to persuade Qin Shi Huang, saying that the human skin is not good for the waterproof layer material of the Great Wall, and now drink some porridge skin will sweat straight, let alone long-term sun and rain? Qin Shi Huang would not do anything stupid no matter how brutal he was, and he gave up his plan to use human skin as a waterproof material. The people who were in the dark suddenly realized that the chef had saved everyone's life with clever tricks. In order to commemorate the merits of the chef and expose the cruelty of Qin Shi Huang, the story spread.
This imprecise story is a pure folk creation, it does not have the artistic exaggeration of the Meng Jiang female crying on the Great Wall, and the plot of the story itself cannot be scrutinized. Even elementary school students can only have the authenticity of the story, but it does not prevent their fathers and grandparents from spreading the story. Why is Qin Shi Huang the emperor with the most backs?
At present, the main saying is that the Confucians of the Han Dynasty regarded the Black Qin Shi Huang as their own work. The Confucian black Qin Shi Huang was not only a work need, but also to avenge the predecessors, and the ultimate purpose was to respect Confucianism alone. Because Qin Shi Huang burned books to pit Confucianism, naturally became the public enemy of Confucians, even if Qin Shi Huang died, he had to blacken Qin Shi Huang and his dynasty to the end before he was relieved, and once the atmosphere was formed, the people also took this as orthodoxy and began to create and play. Qin Shi Huang finally gave the impression of cruelty and inhumanity, and the root cause of the death of Qin Dynasty II was cruelty. In particular, Su Xun's "Theory of Passing the Qin" of the Song Dynasty even defined the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, and the brutality led to the death of the government.
Qin Shi Huang, who is known for his shrewdness and strong ability, will never faint to the point of stripping people's skin to make waterproof materials, and Qin Shi Huang will no longer treat the people as people, nor will he do such a brainless thing. But why do folks want to spread this story? It is speculated that the story of Meng Jiang's weeping of the Great Wall began to catch fire in the Ming Dynasty, when stage dramas were prevalent, and the existing Great Wall was also the Ming Great Wall, which shows how resentful people were at that time for building the Great Wall. Because of their inability to resist those in power, people used Qin Shi Huang, a tyrant, to insinuate and express their anger in a tortuous way. Until now, borrowing ancient irony is still a regular means for people to express their dissatisfaction, and Qin Shi Huang has become the hottest professional household.
