Tiangao Emperor Yuan, is a rather frequent use of colloquial language, I remember when I was a child, every time my parents went out, the brothers who stayed at home always shouted: Tiangao Emperor Yuan!
Then I went to find the neighbors to play with the children, and the parents came back to make up a meal of "bamboo shoot fried meat" without completing their homework, and they were not tired.
So, the colloquial language that children will use, the Emperor of Heaven is far away, who does this emperor really mean? In fact, you can understand by looking at the original text.
This sentence comes from the Ming Dynasty's "Excerpts from the Ancient Records of Idleness in the Present":
The emperor is far away, and the people are few and more public.
Play three times a day, how about not treating it backwards?
It depicts a typical feudal era, official persecution, and civil rebellion scenes. The Emperor of Heaven is far away, the people are few and the people are fair, and the couple is quite neat, which is not the oil poetry that the common people casually talk about.
Among them, the people, talking about the people who are in the water, "Xianggong", is the title of the official, here is certainly not referring to the Qingtian Grand Master, but those corrupt officials, it is worth mentioning that the name of Xianggong, the Song Dynasty will use more.
Heaven, is said to be called heaven should not be, called the earth is not spirit, the heaven inside, the core meaning is that God is waiting, did not open his eyes, the sky is only a day, and "emperor" of course refers to an emperor, then who is this emperor?
The author of "Excerpts from the Ancient Records of Idle And Modern Times", Huang Pu was a Ming Dynasty man. The peasant uprising work he was most familiar with should be the war of resistance at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
In fact, according to the "Historical Materials of the Peasants' War in the Yuan Dynasty", in the eighth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1348), the people of Taizhou and Wenzhou in Zhejiang Province erected a tree "The emperor is far away, and the people are few and more public." Play three times a day. How about not treating back? "The banner of resistance, the first righteousness against the yuan.
The so-called poor mountains and bad waters, life is already difficult, coupled with the fact that the rulers are too harsh, it is natural to rebel against nature. From the perspective of time, this emperor should refer specifically to: Emperor Yuanshun.
Emperor Yuan Shun listened to the name and looked good, so why was this poem written by him?
Regarding the title of "Emperor Yuanshun", zhu Yuanzhang still raised it, full of irony and malice.
For such a person who is almost equivalent to the last emperor, why did Zhu Yuanzhang give the title of "Shun"? And not some other tyrannical bit of the title? The truth is a bit funny.
After the Yuan Dynasty unified China, the implementation of hierarchical governance according to ethnic groups was to divide people according to race, and each level was full of privileges for the next level, whether it was to do officials, examinations, lawsuits, etc., people at the lower level could not win.
This one-size-fits-all, stratified approach according to the birth race, is simple and crude, and obviously cannot be effective for a long time!
Although it is said that the Yuan Shun Emperor once appointed a famous figure to try to revitalize the Yuan Dynasty, unfortunately, this one-size-fits-all governance completely violated the law of social development, even Zhuge Liang's resurrection could not be done, let alone get rid of it.
Soon, shedding was swept into the garbage heap of history, in order to be exiled, reformed. Reform is impossible, impossible in a lifetime!
Emperor Yuan Shun also saw the reality clearly, everyone is like this, then mix it up! Who is afraid of whom.
The situation in the country is deteriorating day by day, and the Yuan Shun Emperor is also like a water stopper, he should eat every day, sleep, play, in a word: no matter!
Just when Emperor Yuan Shun was concentrating on the scientific cause of "men and women, life, and optimization" (Shi Zai: The Art of Luck in Sex), the peasant uprising fermented from the mountains of Jiangnan, and the man named Zhu Yuanzhang was emerging.
In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Tongzhou and was already on the edge of the Yuan Capital, and Emperor Yuanshun, seeing that the research cause could not continue, simply returned to his hometown in the grassland.
Emperor Yuan shun, who passed by and stayed temporarily, was in a very good state of mind, and sent someone to send a poem to Zhu Yuanzhang:
The emissaries of Jinling crossed the river, and the desert wind and smoke opened together.
Wang Qi sometimes rests on its own, and the Emperor's grace is not revealed.
I believe that the sea has returned to the Lord, and I also like that Jiangnan has a handsome talent.
Returning sincerely upset, Chunfeng first arrived at the Phoenix Terrace.
The name of this poem, the Ming history record is called "Answering the Ming Lord", I personally have a skeptical attitude, no matter how good the mentality of the Yuan Shun Emperor is, he will not be able to happily call this poem this name.
But in short, the Yuan Shun Emperor admitted in his poem that the Yuan Dynasty was almost out of order, and I understood this truth, so I returned the land to Zhao and returned it to you.
Quite a bit of optimism, self-amusement, this poem if written by a retired elderly person, it may still be a good story.
Emperor Yuanshun's thoughts at this time can also be seen in the poem, from the spirit of wanting to act, to the twilight that goes with him, complex and numb, I can't help it, what can I do?
In the second year of Hongwu, Emperor Yuanshun continued to run north, and finally died inexplicably on the Yingchang steppe, saying that he was ill, who knows.
Zhu Yuanzhang joked that people would only run, and did not work hard to "fight", so he gave people a name of "Shun Emperor", which is a bit, taking advantage of the meaning of selling well, Yuan Shun Emperor really has to work hard to resist, and it should be Zhu Yuanzhang himself who cries.
The cry of "the emperor is far away, the people are few and the people are more common" has become a well-known "anti" in Chinese history, poetry, and even some TV dramas have used this sentence indiscriminately in various years, although it is funny, it also shows the power of this sentence.
Emperor Yuanshun's life can be described as doing nothing, did not do anything good, did not do anything bad, in short, is a plain life, but because of this, it is also a "famous history", glorious background board, but also by Zhu Yuanzhang to give a title of "Shun" emperor, can not help but say, if he has knowledge under the spring, the mentality will be fried!
