Zhao Kuangyin was a great inventor. What are his "four great inventions"?

Zhao Kuangyin was a great inventor. What are his "four great inventions"? Let's discuss this problem below, hoping that these contents can help friends in need.

Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, was not only brave and good at fighting, but also loved creation and invention. For example, he invented the weapon Panlong Stick, which later evolved into nunchakus and created the boxing method "Thirty-two Taizu Changquan". But let's not talk about martial arts today. Let's just say that he has at least four creations and inventions at the cultural and governance levels.

The first great invention: standing in North Korea

Nowadays, when people watch historical TV dramas, they find that the ancient officials in the TV dramas all stood in the early dynasty, but they are not all right. Because before the Song Dynasty, many senior officials had seats above the government, with tea and soup to drink. Take the position of Prime Minister for example. Under normal circumstances, the emperor will let people assign a direct seat to the prime minister. However, when Zhao Kuangyin proclaimed himself emperor, he felt that ministers were ministers, and no matter how big the courtiers were, they could not be equal to the emperor, so he decided to cancel the unique salary of prime minister.

The prime minister in the early Song Dynasty was called Fan Ju. One morning, Fan Ju got up from his seat and gave a lecture to Zhao Kuangyin. Say that finish, he was about to sit down. Zhao Kuangyin stopped him and said, "Please pass your paper." Fan Ju personally handed the letter to Zhao Kuangyin. When he turned to look for his seat, he found that the seat that was there just now was gone. Fan Zhi can only stand until the wee hours. The next day, he went to the court again. Fan Ju and other important officials found that the seat was empty and gone, and the time for the Prime Minister to sit down and hold court was over.

When Zhao Kuangyin did that, he naturally told the ministers in a tactful way that the emperor's influence was above everything else, and no one could sit idly by. That's good. Above the imperial court, the ministers stood in two rows, while the emperor sat with his head held high. The monarch is the monarch and the minister is the minister. He abides by the rules. After the Song Dynasty, this method was used in various dynasties and has been widely spread to the Qing Dynasty.

The Second Invention: Winged Sun Hat

Zhao Kuangyin is observant. One day, before going to court, he sat on the top of the golden throne hall and found that Cao E was in a bad situation, just whispering and whispering. This situation is very similar to the current teacher. Before teaching, students don't pay attention and don't care about others gossiping, so the teacher will naturally lose his temper. But Zhao Kuangyin didn't get angry. He likes to use his head.

In order to better prevent high-ranking officials from whispering, Zhao Kuangyin designed a walnut long-winged hat, which is a long-winged sun hat. This thin wing is more than a foot long, made of copper and bamboo strips, and has a certain net weight. It is precisely because it has a certain net weight that it is inconvenient to wear, and it is very easy to explode because of imbalance. If you squint in front of the court with this hat, lower your head and whisper to others, and the sun hat falls to the ground with a bang, then everyone in the court knows that you are gossiping again. How embarrassing! If you are angry, you may be beheaded. In this way, the officials in front of the imperial court have only one gesture: stand straight and speak from a distance, which is particularly serious, reliable and neat.

Naturally, some senior officials were affected. The result of wearing that kind of sun hat for a long time will be natural if you get used to it. I took off my sun hat when I got off the court. When I come home, I will even lean forward when I meet passers-by or pass through narrow alleys, fearing that the "sun hat" on my head will be knocked off. I heard that Prime Minister Kou Zhun is like this. On one occasion, he wore intellectual clothes and trousers to check public opinion in the street. When communicating with an old man, the old man opens his mouth and calls him an official. Kou Zhun was frightened and asked him why. The old man said, when I saw you crossing the narrow lane, you could have strode straight, but you walked sideways. This must be the reason for wearing a long-winged hat, so you are naturally an official.

The Third Invention: Eight-character Flag

In the early Song Dynasty, there was a senior official named Li Fu, who was honest and strict with himself. Li Fu made sales achievements in his hometown, gained the esteem of Zhao Kuangyin, and went to Kaifeng House in Beijing with him, giving him a very critical daily task.

What are the daily tasks? It was time for the region to pay rent and tribute to the government, but the money and goods paid by the American States on Jingxi Road failed to achieve the goal, and the American States on Jingxi Road were the key States in the Song Dynasty and also rich countries. Dongping Prefecture under Jingxi Road has a very large population of nearly 400,000, and Xuzhou and Jeju also have a large population. Xuzhou also has an industrial base for casting copper coins and ironmaking ... In short, it must be that senior officials of the DPRK and China collude with local officials to seize rights and interests, harm the public and enrich the private, and waste the public with private. Zhao Kuangyin asked Li Fu to handle this case.

However, Li Furen's words are light, and it is very likely that loyalty and fanaticism can't surpass the DPRK officials. So Zhao Kuangyin gradually to find a way to. Soon, he thought of the method of "eight-character flag", which is to write a few words and hang them on the flag. Then Li Fu called the flag to try the case to see who dared not cooperate. So, what eight words did Zhao Kuangyin write? These eight words are: "Li Fu is everywhere, like a pro-line." Zhao Kuangyin's eight words are more powerful than the imperial edict. Because Li Fu has become the embodiment of the emperor, anyone who sees them needs to bow down and pay tribute. How dare they disrespect and hide anything?

Soon, Li Fu discovered more than 100 problems, sorted out the reports, solved the problems on Jingxi Road, and a large number of officials and senior officials involved in the DPRK were punished. Li Fu has also been promoted to become a living lang.

The fourth invention: valuing literature over martial arts.

Zhao Kuangyin, a soldier, was banned by the leader because of his true identity as a military attache who "walked in front of the temple". In 960, Zhao Kuangyin launched a mutiny in Chen Qiao with the overall strength of the leader of the imperial power, won the Chai family and established the Song Dynasty. Therefore, he is too aware of the damage caused by the rebellion of generals in a period. Zhao Kuangyin often discusses policies with Prime Minister Zhao Pu. When he mentioned the military attache once, Zhao Kuangyin lamented: "The bribery of a hundred civil and military officials is not as harmful as the rebellion of a military attache!"

To make a general not rebel, it is not enough to rely on giving, because giving will make him stronger and only cut off the source of their rights. In view of this, it is unheard of for Zhao Kuangyin to implement the current policy of valuing literature over martial arts in the Song Dynasty. No matter which Wu Zhi, in fact, is a civil and military official, military attache is a real role. In this way, the military attache and the leader of the civil and military officials will become kings.

For example, in Water Margin, Qingfeng Village is Gao Liu, a weak scholar, which is useless. Hua Rong, the deputy stockade leader, is known as "Little Li Guang", with unparalleled archery and handsome. It was normalized in the Song Dynasty that real jobs were not real jobs. No matter how powerful your general is, he has to be under the civil and military officials. Look at Di Qing, a war general in the Song Dynasty, who has made outstanding achievements. Song Renzong made him a special envoy of the Tang Dynasty, which was a real job. Because it is a real job, it violates the standard of valuing literature over martial arts, and all civil and military officials resist it. From then on, some people often gave Di Qing problems, but in the end I was tired of Song Renzong's military strength in Di Qing, and it would not come to a good end.

Zhao Kuangyin's policy of valuing literature over martial arts avoided the chaos of martial arts, but it led to the overall weakness of the Song Dynasty, which was repeatedly defeated by Liao, Xixia and Jin, and eventually led to national subjugation. This is another story.
