Bao Qingtian, a legendary name, hangs like a bright moon in the sky of history, leaving people with endless reverie and admiration. However, the real Bao Zheng is not as hideous as in folklore, with a crescent moon on his forehead, what kind of historical figure is he?
Bao Zheng's appearance is not the black face of folklore, but a white face, thick eyebrows and big ears, dignified and elegant, more like a scholar than a stereotypical image of a loyal minister. The ancients portrayed traitors as white-faced, while loyal ministers were black-faced or red-faced, and this traditional concept misled later generations about Bao Zheng's cognition.
There is no crescent mark on Bao Zheng's head, which is a legend made up by later generations. But this kind of apocryphal invention also has its historical roots, because Bao Zheng is regarded as an immortal from the underworld, with the mission of punishing evil and promoting good, so in folklore there is the image of a crescent moon on his forehead.
Bao Zheng is not only strict and fair in the trial, but also a dutiful son. When his parents were still alive, he stayed away from his career and accompanied his parents, showing great filial piety. Even if he was later admitted to the Jinshi, he gave up the opportunity to be far away from home at the beginning of his career and stuck to his family and affection.
He is also a principled and honest official in the officialdom. In the face of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, he dared to speak out and advise, not afraid of the pressure of the powerful, adhered to the general righteousness, and upheld justice for the people. His insistence on the improper decree and his unremitting efforts to impeach corrupt officials are clear proof of Bao Zheng's adherence to principles.
However, Bao Zheng's life has also been full of joys and sorrows. The death of his children and grandchildren brought him great sorrow, but even so, he continued to set a noble example for future generations by showing his integrity and integrity.
Bao Zheng not only left an admirable image in history, but also took root in the hearts of future generations and has influenced it to this day. His family motto "Bao Family Motto" is an encouragement and constraint for future generations, educating them to maintain the character of being honest and honest and inspirational to serve the country.
Bao Zheng's descendants have also inherited his family style and character in different fields, and they are not only honest and self-controlled, but also actively contribute to society and the country. For example, Bao Yugang and others took Bao Zheng as an example, gave full play to their talents and influence, and spared no effort for the cause of building the motherland and the people.
The legendary story of Bao Qingtian is not only the glory of history, but also the spiritual guidance for future generations. Let us cherish the memory of this great historical figure, and also pass on the spirit of contracting and saving life in our own posts, and strive to contribute to the development of society and the country.
