When the ancient emperor Dragon Emperor returned to the heavens, the ministers would use the title of Emperor to cover the emperor's life, such as Emperor Wu of Han, whose title was "Wu", even if he did not understand the meaning of the Law of Emperor Wu, through the life history of Emperor Wu of Han, he could also be worthy of this "Wu" character.
There are good and bad laws, and good ones have "texts", according to the "Examination of the Laws of The Laws of The Truth": "Through the heavens and the earth, there is a text, and it becomes its way; the morality is knowledgeable and knows the text; the study is diligent and good to ask the text, and it is not shameful to ask the question; the love of the people is known as the text, and the favor is to become a government; the people are huili yuewen, and the favor is beneficial and courteous; and the people are given the title of yuewen, and they are promoted with the same." ”
Even if you don't understand the language, you can ask questions through the heavens and the earth, learn to be diligent and ask... These are all positive words. Speaking of those who are not good, such as "僖", the representative figures are Tang Emperor
Li Yan, during his reign, the Yellow Nest Rebellion occurred, laying the groundwork for the demise of the Tang Dynasty.
Don't think about it, it is not a good meaning, "Be careful and afraid of what you know, think what you should be afraid of; the quality of the abyss is advised, so you can receive it; if you have a punishment, you will know it, and you will retreat in the face of difficulties." ”
In addition to these positive and negative meanings are particularly obvious, there are also some that people can't see the true meaning at a glance, such as "God". In history, there are only two people who use the god as a nickname, one is The Song Shenzong Zhao Yan, and the other is the Ming Dynasty Wanli Emperor (Ming Shenzong).
Regarding the meaning of God, there is a sentence in the Law of Judgment that reads"
The incompetence of the people is called God
”。 The sentence comes from Confucius, and the original text is "Da Ya, Yao Zhi is Junye." Majestic! But the heavens are great, but yao is it. The people are powerless. ”
It means that Yao is such a great man that the people don't know how to praise him. However, as a courtesy name, the word god was still okay to use on the Song Shenzong Zhao Yan, and it was somewhat inappropriate to use it on the Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun.
Emperor Shenzong of Song was a successful monarch in history, reusing Wang Anshi's transformation method and reclaiming the Hehuang area in the war against Western Xia... And Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, during his reign for nearly thirty years did not go to the dynasty, in his later years there was a disaster of later Jin, laying the root of the curse for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, how can such an emperor be called a "god"?
If you look at it from the positive side, the Myojin Sect does have some unworthy names, but
"The incompetence of the people is called God", followed by half a sentence "No name and one good".
On the surface, it can be understood that there are too many good things to do, and it is not enough to summarize its greatness with a title, but it can also be understood as
The people could not judge whether he was good or bad by his merits and career.
This is a "blatant praise and dark depreciation" evaluation, describing an emperor as "insufficient and halfway abandoned".
The Wanli Emperor was indeed like this, and in the early years, with the assistance of Zhang Juzheng, he realized Wanli Zhongxing. In the foreign war, the victory of aiding Korea and resisting the Japanese Kou was achieved, but from the fourteenth year of the Wanli Calendar, the Wanli Emperor did not go to the dynasty, but it was not halfway abandoned!
Not only the Ming Shen Sect, but also the literati's evaluation of the Song Shen Sect was not particularly good. Zhao Yan's reuse of Wang Anshi's transformation method, to a certain extent, although it stimulated the economy of the Song Dynasty, but because it destroyed the interests of the inherent group, coupled with excessive haste, it also brought a certain negative impact to the country.
Emperor Shenzong of Song was not a staunch man, sometimes supporting Wang Anshi's change of law, and under the pressure of conservatives, he had to compromise, and later in the war against Western Xia, he was fruitless and costly, and he himself died depressed at the age of 38. Some people even pushed the pot of the demise of the Song Dynasty to the Song Shenzong...
Whether it was the Song Shen Sect or the Ming Shen Sect, judging by his life, he was not a successful emperor.
The ministers are based on the "Law of The Word"
The people are incompetent and called Gods; the people are not known as Gods;
An Ren Li Zheng Zhi Shen; Wu Miao Wu Fang Zhi Shen;
The Holy Unknowable God; the Yin and Yang Unpredictable God;
Governing the people without doing anything is a god; adapting to distant places, not hurrying and speeding up the gods; being able to mysteriously know the gods of all things; Daohua Yimin is known as the gods; Xianrenzang uses the gods; then the heavens are widely transported to know the gods. Although there is a clear meaning of praise and depreciation, to some extent it is still more objective.
