In the Tang Dynasty, Hei Weiqing praised Li Guang as politically correct, so there is no doubt that as long as there is a word for General Fei in the poem, it is all about Li Guang, not Wei Qing, who broke Shan Yu in seven battles and seven victories, and a bunch of poets in the Tang Dynasty are unfair for Li Guangming, such as:
Who pities General Li Fei, the white head has no three sides
This is written by Li Bai.
For example, Wen Tingjun wrote:
In the past years, Rong Yuguan was imprisoned, and once the Dragon City was defeated, the horses were returned.
Hou Yin did not smell Li Guang, and the others were like tianshan mountains.
For example, Wang Bo lamented in the famous "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng":
Feng Tang is old, Li Guang is difficult to seal.
The most famous is probably Wang Changling's poem "Out of the Plug":
Qin Shi Mingyue Han Shi Guan, the Long March of Ten Thousand Miles has not been returned.
But to make the Dragon City fly will be, not to teach Humadu Yin Mountain.
This flying general did not need to be examined, but also wrote Li Guang, in the Tang Dynasty Li Guang's popularity was greater than Wei Qinghuo's illness, the Tang Dynasty literati were eager to write Li Guang as a perfect person with moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic development, if it were not for bad luck, about one person could destroy the entire Xiongnu.
For Wei Qinghuo's deeds of illness, they pretended not to see it.
Why is Li Guang sought after?
Because neither Wei Qing nor Huo Went ill was as good as Li Guangniu, because Li Guang's family was emperor, and the emperor of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty was surnamed Li, and according to the Li family tree, Li Guang was their ancestor.
According to Li Yuan's biography in the Old Book of Tang, Li Yuan's ancestor was Li Huan, the Liangwu Zhao king of the Jin Dynasty:
Emperor Gaozu's surname was Li (李氏), the great sage of The Great Sage of The Great Guangxiao ( 大光孝) the Emperor of the Imperial Household ( 李氏 ) . His ancestor was the Longxi Di Daoren, the seventh generation grandson of Liangwu Zhaowang.
Flipping through the "Book of Jin" Li Kuan's biography, it was found that Li Kuan's ancestor was Li Guang:
Wu Zhaowang Zhenxuan (武昭王讳暠), zi Xuansheng (玄盛), xiaozi Changsheng (小字 Changsheng), a longxi Chengjiren (龍西紀人), surnamed Li (李氏), was a former Han general of the 16th Grandson of Guangzhi.
Therefore, the ancestor of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty is Li Guang, a former general of the Han Dynasty, and since Li Guang is his own ancestor, he naturally wants to be praised.
Most of the Literati of the Tang Dynasty served the Li family's rice bowl, and praising the ancestors of the boss seemed to be the meaning of the title, so many literati used their own rafters to praise Li Guang.
And Wei Qinghuo, who had made greater achievements, was automatically filtered out by the literati.
After all, Li Guang's death seems to have something to do with Wei Qing, Li Guang's son Li Dare beat Wei Qing because of Li Guang's death, Huo went ill and shot Li Gan for reasons, and the Li family and Wei Qinghuo went to illness to be considered a vendetta.
Vigorously publicizing Wei Qinghuo's illness, the Li family emperor may not be happy, or try to praise the boss's ancestor Fei General fei came to the truth, the boss is happy, his own promotion and salary on the peak of life.
Therefore, the Tang Dynasty wrote a lot of poems about Li Guang.
In fact, there is no controversy over Wang Changling's poem, and everyone knows that it was written by Li Guang.
The controversy is that in the past few years, the Internet has developed, people have learned more ways to understand history, some people have found that Wei Qing's exploits are much greater than Li Guang's, and many people have begun to distort Tang poetry.
In ancient Chinese society, Confucianism was exalted, and the status of the literati was very high, and their evaluation of the warriors directly affected people's perceptions.
Li Guang is a tragic hero, a lifetime of not very successful, a lifetime has not been able to be crowned marquis, looking at Li Guang's story, many literati can probably project Li Guang's experience onto themselves, feeling that they and Li Guang are the same skill, why the emperor can't see it, don't reuse it.
In the hearts of the literati, they did not look up to someone like Wei Qing who came from a humble background and became a great general by relying on his in-law relationship with the emperor, and felt that Wei Qing had achieved later achievements by virtue of the emperor's brother-in-law.
For example, Su Dongpo once said that although Wei Qing became a great general, he still did not change his true color as a slave, and Emperor Wu of Han did not look up to him, and chose to see him when he chose to shit:
Emperor Wu stepped on the toilet and saw Wei Qing, but did not see Ji Di. Although Qing was rich and noble, he did not change the posture of a slave, and the Emperor Wu could be polite but could not use it, and he could be too relieved.
This passage is probably intended to say that Ji Dian was a literati Su Confucian, so he was valued by Emperor Wu of Han, and Wei Qing was a slave emperor of Han Wu and did not take him as a heavy subject at all.
But looking at this text, how do I feel that Wei Qing and Emperor Wu of Han are closer.
People often sound grand in front of outsiders, and only when they get along with people close to them do they pay less attention to the image.
In his diary, Su Dongpo even said that Emperor Wudi of Han had not done anything good in his life, and the only good thing he did was to in front of Wei Qing.
This is also too cruel to complain, it seems that Mr. Dongpo is a lifelong Wei Qinghei.
Another scholar of the Song Dynasty, Huang Zhen, had a lower evaluation of Wei Qing, writing in the Commentary on the History of Lin:
Whoever looks at Wei Huochuan must look at Li Guang. Wei Huo went deep into two thousand miles, and the sound vibrated Huayi, and now look at its legend, it is not worth a penny. Li Guang, every time he fought in the north, he was trapped for life, and now look at his legend, the heroic style is like it.
The tone of a good bull fork is ah, but the enemy is worth not a penny for two thousand miles. The Southern Song Dynasty, where Huang Zhen was located, was dying, and the literati still had a dismissive arrogance towards the warriors.
Guo Degang said: If I evaluate an expert who builds rockets, if an expert looks at me squarely, he will be counted as a failure.
But the paradox of history is that many times it is cross-talk to evaluate rocket experts, asking them to use the method of learning to sing to get the rocket into the air.
The peak moment of this kind of layman's guidance for insiders is probably in the Song Dynasty.
