Hello everyone, today is another sunny day, I don't know how you feel today? Let's take a look at the protagonist we want to talk to you about today. What happened to everyone? Let's take a look at it with Xiaobian.
Wu Zetian helped her husband write an inscription, but her own inscription is empty, her tombstone is located in the east, there is a huge whole stone carving, there are eight dragons coiled around each other, but the center of the tombstone is a slippery piece, why did Wu Zetian leave a wordless stele for posterity? There have been multiple statements for thousands of years, but there are five generally divided into them.
The first theory is that Wu Zetian thinks that he has too much credit, needless to say that everyone can understand, under the governance of Wu Zetian, many talents were reused, weakening the strength of the nobility, the Tang Dynasty was indeed prosperous, at least better than his husband Li Zhi, and some similar to Tang Taizong Li Shimin, so posterity called her behavior "Zhenguan Legacy", since everyone understands, Wu Zetian is naturally embarrassed to write on the tombstone.
The second theory is that Wu Zetian believes that his sins are so deep that he does not know how to write it. Wu Zetian was originally Li Shimin's wife, but soon after being favored, Li Shimin was dying, and Wu Zetian was unwilling to seduce Li Zhi, and as a result, she let Li Zhi bear the insult of robbing his father's wife, which was the first felony, Li Zhi should have been his son's successor after his death, and Wu Zetian robbed the Li family of the throne, which was the second felony.
The third theory is that Wu Zetian himself does not know how to evaluate himself, to say that his life's merits are indeed not good to evaluate, the contribution to the country is also there, but in the feudal era, the woman three from the four virtues she did not do at all, although she climbed to the peak of power, but at that time the scholars still have a lot of opinions about her, so the tombstone feels not to write, let posterity to comment on it.
The fourth theory is that Wu Zetian does not know what he is, is the emperor but does not want the emperor, is Li Zhi's wife but not all, at the same time she is Li Shimin's wife, this relationship is too complicated and chaotic, it is not clear at all, so the title is not clear, thinking about it, simply do not write the tombstone, so as not to be laughed at by posterity.
The fifth theory is that Wu Zetian believed in Buddhism, after the death of Tang Taizong, she lived a nun's life for several years, all day dry lanterns and ancient Buddhas as companions, although later she became emperor, her heart still went to the Buddha, Buddhism said that everything is empty, needless to say that nature understands, so Wu Zetian's tombstone also uses Buddhist code words.
The five theories have their own reasons, and no one can convince anyone, knowing that in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen made an evaluation of Wu Zetian, and at the same time had his own opinions on her wordless stele, Liu Bowen once said that Wu Zetian was a talent for governing the country, and at the same time there was tolerance for people, and there was wisdom to know people, but she was more self-aware, so she did not engrave words on the tombstone
