If you are careful, you may find that there are "typos" on the plaques and stone tablets of some famous attractions. Why?
Some of these words are indeed careless, while some are intentional by the author and give special meaning, especially the "wrong" words on some plaques, if you do not understand the reasons and make a big fuss, it is inevitable to laugh generously.
Let me take a look at those interesting and meaningful typos!
"Avoid"
The world's first typo
The reason why it is the first typo in the world is because it was handwritten by the emperor himself and hung in front of the door of an important place in the country.
The lower part of the "Xin" to the right of the word "avoid" is written in an extra horizontal line, and this typo is a royal letter written by Kangxi himself, inscribed in the fifty years of Kangxi. Kangxi wrote more horizontally, and the courtiers should immediately see it, but the emperor was a golden mouth, and no one dared to remind the emperor that he had written it wrong, and the result was the first typo in the world.
In the Qing Dynasty, the Chengde Summer Resort was an important political place, and the royal reception of the leaders of various ethnic minorities, such as Mongolia, Tibet, Xinjiang, etc., was in the summer resort.
"Fish"
The most claimed typo
"Flower Harbor Fish Watching" is one of the ten scenic spots of the West Lake, and the "Flower Harbor Fish Viewing" monument is also from the hand of Kangxi. The four points under the traditional character "fish" on the stele became three points, a little less. If it is said that the "avoidance" of the summer resort Kangxi Grandpa will not write it is forgivable, but this "fish" will not be written is really unreasonable.
It turns out that there is a legend here, Kangxi believed in Buddhism, has the virtue of good life, when the inscription wants to "fish" there are four points under the word "bad", because in the old four points represented "fire", fish roasted on the fire, can it still live? So I deliberately wrote a little less - three points into "water", so that the fish can swim in the lake and live in a dashing way.
"Stream" "In"
The most philosophical typo
In the Pingshan Hall of Daming Temple in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, the plaque on the right side of the main hall, "Sitting on flowers and carrying the moon," was inscribed by Ma Fuxiang, one of the famous "Three Horses" of Ningxia in the early years of the Republic of China; the plaque on the left was written by Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, and is said to have been written by Liu Kunyi in memory of Ouyang Xiu, who was once the chief official in Yangzhou.
Liu Kun deliberately wrote a little less about the "flow" in "flowing in", and the word "in" was a little more, the meaning was self-evident, hoping to be less windy, more realistic, and very philosophical. Such a word is just right, so no one has said anything so far.
"Rich" "Chapter"
The most amazing typo
Confucius House in Qufu, Shandong Province, can be said to be the most cultured place in the world, but tourists to Confucius House, before entering the gate can see a particularly obvious typo. Directly above the gate of Confucius Hangs a plaque with gold characters on a blue background "Holy House", and on both sides there is a pair of Yang Lian that reads: "With the State Xian Xiu An Fu Honorable Gongfu Di, the same day and the old article Moral Saint Family", the word "rich" in the upper link is a little less above, and the head of the treasure cover becomes a bald treasure cover. Looking at the lower link, there is also a word written very irregularly: the vertical under the word "chapter" leads all the way to the top.
How do the most cultured places come up with this joke? This is not a joke, but one of the most cultured typos. The magic of the mistake lies in its meaning: "rich" does not come out, which means "rich and noble without head"; a vertical head under the word "chapter" means "the article is through the heavens". Two typos, all at once reflect the identity of the very door of the Confucius, not only no one said that it was a typo, but tourists understood it but they cried out one after another.
"Courtyard"
The most gracious typo
Located in The Dule Temple in Jixian County, Tianjin, the "Yuan" on the "Yuan" in bao'en Yuan is gone.
It is said that Xianfeng came to Dule Temple that year, wrote the name of the courtyard for the courtyard inside the temple, and improvised the three words "Bao'en Temple".
But after the words are written, the last "courtyard" is written one less horizontal. Xianfeng said that people should know the grace map, and the Buddhist family said that they should repay the fourfold grace: the grace of the Buddha, the grace of the parents, the grace of all sentient beings, and the grace of the land, there are too many, and this grace cannot be repaid in a lifetime, so the stroke of the word "finish" cannot be written in its entirety.
"Sudden"
The most mythical typo
In the "Baotu Spring" in Jinan Province, there is a stone stele in the spring pond that is half-immersed in water, and three large characters of Xiongjian are engraved on it - Baotu Spring, which was written by Hu Miaozong, the inspector of Shandong in the Ming Dynasty.
Legend has it that the three strands of water gushing from the pillar have lifted the "lid" off, so that the word "sudden" has become what it is now, of course, this is only to describe the strong strength of the spring water, a kind of reverie of people.
"Monument"
The most memorable typo
In the Forest of Steles in Xi'an, there is a plaque from the hand of Lin Zexu, a famous patriotic general and anti-smoking hero of the Qing Dynasty. Lin Zexu became famous for his smoking ban, but also caused trouble because of the ban on smoking, was framed, dismissed by the Daoguang Emperor, and re-sent to Yili to atone for his sins.
When Lin Zexu went to Ili and passed through Xi'an, he wrote a poem that read, "If the country lives and dies by profit, it is better to avoid it because of misfortune." Just before writing this verse, Lin Zexu came to the Forest of Steles, hoping to find some comfort in life and the driving force for progress in the ink of the predecessors, and carefully wrote the word "Forest of Steles".
"First"
The most spectacular typo
In Shanhaiguan, Qinhuangdao City, there is a huge plaque, which was written by Xiao Xian, a famous calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty. Its plaque is more than 5 meters long and 1.5 meters high, each word is more than 1 meter, and its size goes without saying; it gradually increases from east to west, and in the treatment of strokes, the first "first" character is rewritten into the cursive word "苐", so that the stroke is reduced, the visual weight is reduced, and the traditional "Guan" character stroke is dignified, thick and powerful, firmly pressing the western end of the city tower that seems to be tilted.
The characters are in italics, the pen is strong and strong, and it is integrated with the specifications of the city tower, giving people a sense of majesty and stability, which can be called a masterpiece of ancient and modern times.
"Ming"
The most frequent typos
On the Ming Xiao Mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor of Nanjing, there is a Ming Xiaoling Protection Stele, on which the "Ming XiaoLing" is written as "Xiao XiaoLing"; on the stone wall directly south of the tomb's treasure roof there are seven characters "Tomb of the Ming Taizu of this mountain", of which "Ming" is also written as "眀". The former is the "intentional mistake" of the famous calligrapher Wu Zhongqi, and the latter is the question in the early years of the Republic of China, and it is impossible to check the name of the subject.
In the Qing Dynasty, there were many phenomena of writing "Ming" as "眀". The Qing Dynasty was very powerful, and at that time, the literati did not dare to write directly to the "Ming" in the Ming Dynasty on many occasions, for fear of causing trouble, but they could not bypass this word, so they changed the "day" to "eye", which means "open your eyes and write a typo". On the contrary, replacing "day" with "eye" is a kind of wisdom, representing a pair of wise eyes. For example, Wu Hou Ci's "Qiu Liang Qiangu" is this intention, "The ming of the Ming Emperor focuses on being able to recognize people and the situation", so the emphasis is on "eyes", and Zhuge Liang is such a person with vision.
