Some time ago, in the TV series "Great Qin Fu", which was madly complained about, there was such a scene, when Qin Shi Huang's concubine Mi Hua was pregnant, Qin Shi Huang gave his eldest son a name in advance, named "Fu Su". In the Qin Dynasty, the identity of the eldest son was precious, so the name was even more important, so what is the allusion to the son of "Fu Su"? What does that mean?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the origin of Fusu's name</h1>
This has to start with the origin of the name of Fu Su, the word "Fu Su" comes from the "Book of Poetry Zheng Feng". The original sentence is very short, with only two chapters and eight sentences: the mountain has Fusu, and the yin has Lotus. If you don't see the sons, you are mad. There are qiao pines in the mountains, there are dragons in the shadows, and there are no sons and daughters, but cunning children. Because the Book of Poetry already had a very prominent position in the pre-Qin period, all nobles needed to study, the so-called "no poetry without learning". This is also the reason why Qin Shi Huang opened his mouth to name his eldest son from the Book of Poetry. However, although the provenance of the son of "Fu Su" is good, its meaning is very bad, so why did Qin Shi Huang use it?
If you open the book "Preface to Mao's Poems" that explains the Book of Poetry, you can find that the article evaluating "Mountain YouFusu" was written for the purpose of "stabbing". So what is "stabbing"? The meaning is to discuss the works of Zheng Zhaogong Zheng Ku, which is related to one of his past events. At that time, the State of Qi was very powerful, and in that era of the marriage of princes, many people wanted to marry them as a country of in-laws, and the object of the proposal was Wen Jiang, the daughter of Duke Qi at that time.
However, among the many titans, the most favored candidate of the Duke of Qi was Zheng Guo's prince Kuo. However, just when the two countries were about to finalize the matter of becoming relatives, Qi Wenjiang and his own brother spread a scandal, and the incest between the brothers and sisters was an earth-shattering gossip in any era, and soon the matter spread. Therefore, Gongzi suddenly repented, and also said the famous "Qi Da Fei", saying that the Qi state was eminent and noble, and it would not be high under the sun. After the prince suddenly retired from marriage, the reputation of the women of the Qi royal family was not good, and no one in the other princely states wanted to wear a false "green hat".
However, after all, the state of Qi was powerful, and Qi Wenjiang eventually married the Duke of Lu Huan. However, Qi Wenjiang had been married for more than ten years, and later when her brother Qi Xianggong visited the State of Lu, the two had an affair again. Later, the matter was revealed, the Duke of Lu Huan was killed, and the State of Qi and the State of Lu became feuds from the country of in-laws. It can also be seen from this that at that time, how wise Gongzi's choice was, but what did this have to do with the name of Fu Su?

This requires a look at the original text of "Mountain With Fusu". As mentioned above, the original text is "The mountain has Fusu, and the yin has Lotus." If you don't see the sons, you are mad. There are qiao pines in the mountains, there are dragons in the shadows, and there are no sons and daughters, but cunning children. The "Zi du" and "Zi Chong" in the text are beautiful men, used to refer to Qi Wenjiang's beautiful countenance; while the "crazy and" and "cunning child" in the text are used to refer to Qi Wenjiang's personality, saying that her character is not good. Others believe that this is not a reference specifically to the past of Gongzi Kuo, but a direct satire that Zheng Guo's entire country is full of obscene thoughts, because from a literal point of view, this poem is completely a flirting affair between lovers, which is incompatible with etiquette, but it is consistent with the characteristics of "fornication" in "Poetry Classics • Zheng Feng", and it is not a good word.
However, there are other different views on the interpretation of the Book of Poetry and Zheng Feng. Confucius once said: "Three hundred poems, in a word, thinking innocently", which means that the thinking of the Book of Poetry is very healthy and pure, and there is no improper place, that is, the so-called "innocence". Since Confucius said that Zheng Feng was "innocent", how could Zheng Feng be filled with obscene thoughts? However, the text already exists, and it does have this meaning, so it is believed that poems like "Mountain You Fusu" are "stabbing", and they are also reminding people not to do things that violate etiquette like the protagonist in the poem. Therefore, no matter how it is interpreted, the meaning embodied in "Mountains Have Fusu" is not good, and it is not too much to say that it is a negative teaching material. Then why did Qin Shi Huang name his children from now on?
This is related to the deep meaning contained in "Fusu". Because the whole evaluation of "Mountain With Fusu" in the "Preface to Mao's Poems" is: ""The mountain has Fusu", "Thorny Kuya", so beautiful and non-beautiful, "Thorny", we have just understood, and "Soumei is not Beautiful", is the summary of the whole poetry thought, meaning that what we think is "beautiful" may not necessarily be "beautiful". This is because the whole poem translates as follows: there are not only tall fusu on the mountain, but also low green pines, and there are not only beautiful lotus flowers in the pond, but also ugly aquatic grasses. Among them, "Fusu", "Green Pine", "Lotus" and "Water Weed" are the contrast between beauty and ugliness, but how to choose depends on how the picker chooses in his heart, which is intended to encourage people to carefully distinguish between beauty and ugliness.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > summary</h1>
As a collection of ancient Chinese, the "Book of Poetry" is a collection, and the "wind" part is taken from folk songs. At the same time, the ancients collected poems to show the king, what is the meaning of using such a poem to show the king? It is intended to warn the monarch that it is necessary to distinguish between right and wrong, and to see the essence of things through the phenomena of things, so as to better govern the country. Therefore, Qin Shi Huang named his eldest son "Fu Su" in the hope that he could distinguish between beauty and ugliness, do the big tree of Kuang Fu Qin Guo Sheji, and also see that Fu Su must have a beautiful vision of his parents when he was born, and he could see the rare warmth behind Qin Shi Huang, a cold king.
