"Qingfeng does not know the face, why read books indiscriminately", this is a poem that caused the qing dynasty Xu Jun to kill himself, and it is also a representative work of the feudal society.
The "prison of words" has existed since ancient times, and the Qing Dynasty is the most serious, because it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty, always afraid of being looked down upon, and the country and mountains are not stable, so they use writing as a weapon to eliminate those who despise the Qing Dynasty. In the Kangxi Dynasty Zhuang Tingxin's "History of Ming", when writing the history of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen Dynasty, he misrepresented the Manchus, and as a result, not only was the coffin burned, but his younger brother Tingyu was also killed; Li Lingzhe and his four sons were also killed, which shows the degree of cruelty. Nian Qianyao's secretary Wang Jingqi, Long Keduo's henchman Cha Si Ting, ortai's protégé Hu Zhongzao, were all after the master's death, and the criminals were all killed in terms of writing "Qingming" and the like.
The refinement of the text is the characteristic of Han culture, a word is multi-tone, originally a good poem, used by people who don't think about it, how to interpret it can explain the meaning of this poem. Writing is not a sin, because the execution of words seems inconceivable to the real society, and this crime is even the source of self-isolation and self-sufficiency, leading to the Great Qing dynasty and the source of the world for 300 years.
In the feudal society of the mainland, the "literal prison" was a feudal autocratic dictatorship, which not only caused the silence and suffocation of thought. And behind it lurks a social crisis that is about to erupt. The development of history has its own laws, and Dr. Sun Yat-sen's slogan of "expelling the Tartars and restoring China" still resounds through the clouds, breaking the feudal system and entering a liberal and democratic modern society, which has proved that the literal prison has no historical status.
