What is the meaning of "Han has three dirty, Tang has three chaos"?

First of all, Han is dirtier than Tang's performance, Han's three dirty:

The ethical point of view criticized Tang's dirty, because Tang's social culture is open, the old ethics quite challenged, such as Wu Zetian first married Li Shimin, and then Li Shimin's son, Li Zhi, was included in the harem, and was named Empress; or is the Tang Emperor Xuanzong's son's wife, Yang Yuhuan. In short, this kind of thing, in the eyes of the traditional ethics, is "dirty".

But the Han's dirty, not below the Tang, and more abundant, small is the destruction of the human body, to the point of unprecedented, the big is the disaster of the country and the people, leading to the fall of the empire. In this regard, there are three typical characters can be represented, one is Lv Pheasant, the second is Liu aristocrat, and the third is Liu Hong.

Han's first dirty, Lv pheasant life's most cruel things, no more than the treatment of Mrs. Qi. The same as Liu Bang's wife, after the death of Liu Bang, Mrs. Qi's encounter, can be said to be a thousand years rare. In her early years, Mrs. Qi did rely on Liu Bang's favor and made unrealistic and extravagant demands, hoping that her son, Liu Ruyi, would be made the crown prince. This is a normal thing for concubines in the harem, which concubine does not want her son to inherit the throne in order to realize the mother's son's honor? Because of this, in fact, no matter before Han, or after Han, so the harem fight has never stopped, but the fight to fight, the means is still negotiable, even if they were killed, no one can be compared to Mrs. Qi.

Mrs. Qi and Lu Qiang fight is the result, was made into a human swine, the so-called human swine, that is, the human body to achieve the maximum degree of destruction, cut off the limbs, digging eyes, copper injection ear so that it is deaf, medicine into the throat so that it is mute, to take the tongue so that it can not speak, shaving its hair so that it is bald (in ancient times, the hair of the person is very important, the so-called "body hair and skin, received by the parents, do not dare to destroy, filial piety to the beginning of (Hair was very important to people in ancient times.) This matter in the "Records of the Grand Historian Empress Dowager Lu Benji" said: "The Empress Dowager then cut off Mrs. Qi's hands and feet, go to the eyes, Ferry ears, drinking mute, so that living in the toilet, named 'human swine'."

There were many ancient tortures, but it seems that none of them can be compared to human swine, which can be considered the most torturous. This can be the most torture of all. To be able to use this torture to mutilate the same kind of people, the heart of the "dirty" hard, can be seen. From the perspective of human nature, it can be said that the first dirty also!

Han's second dirty Liu arty. Liu arty is the 12th emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, known as Emperor Chengdi of Han Dynasty.

Liu arboretum during the emperor, no bright political achievements, ridiculous thing is to do a lot, the most prominent two:

The first is as the emperor, the court government did not do a good job even if, personal private life is even more chaotic, even fell in love with the male pet Zhang Fang, and have no regard for the shame of the trend. With today's words, Liu arboretum this is considered homosexual? Strictly speaking, not yet, should be bisexual.

Some people say that the emperor had the freedom and power to pursue love. But the truth is, if they really love each other, then love is all selfish, Liu arboretum should let Zhang Fang to be devoted to him, but Liu arboretum gave Zhang Fang a token of love but the niece of Empress Xu.

"Han Shu - Volume 59 - Zhang Tang biography of the twenty-ninth" said: "put to take the queen's younger brother Pingen Hou Xu Jia female, on the put for the supply of Zhang, give A Di, filled with the ride dress, the number of the son of heaven to take the woman, the queen married daughter."

The extent of the absurdity between Liu Arturo and Zhang Fang is evident. At that time, it triggered a controversy in the court and people could not stand the behavior between Liu Artery and Zhang Fang. The Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun then looked for a crime to exile Zhang Fang. But the distance still can't cut off the absurdity of Liu Arbiter, he "seal book labor ask not stop" in thousands of miles away from Zhang Fang. It was only when another pair of sisters appeared that Liu Arboretum's longing for Zhang Fang was cut off. But the behavior of Liu arboretum, let a person can not feel the feelings, only let a person feel the emperor's "dirty life".

The second thing is to exclusively favor the Zhao sisters. It was the Zhao Feiyan sisters who cut off Zhang Fang's thoughts. Their appearance in Liu Arnold's life didn't make Liu Arnold a clean emperor, but rather, it was a further step towards dirtiness, and this dirtiness was the loss of the father and son's human relationship.

The specific incident is that Liu arboretum's harem had a concubine for Xu Meiren, who quietly gave birth to an imperial son because she was favored by Liu arboretum. For Liu arboretum, this is his only blood, before the empress and other concubines born son either die young or by Zhao Feiyan sisters assassination. However, when Zhao Hede found out about the birth of Xu Meiren's son, she cried out in front of Liu Arnold, because she and Zhao Feiyan had been exclusive favorites for more than ten years and had not given birth to a son or a daughter, so she was afraid of falling out of favor.

Zhao He De made a heinous request that the baby boy be executed. This is a heartless request, but Liu Arbiter's behavior is even more outrageous, he followed Zhao Hede's request, personally strangled his own son. Such behavior, no father and son love, the loss of the bottom line of human relationships, the heart of the dirty, but also to the point of execrable.

Han's third dirty: Liu Hong.

As the Emperor of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Hong's performance can be said to have inherited the nature of the Western Han Dynasty Liu aristocrat, continue to drive the "ridiculous" train running forward. Liu Hong's three big ridiculous things:

One is to make the court dirty, initially the palace boys to donkey Liu Hong's happy, but time is long, inevitably bored, this time there will be eunuchs will be a dog dressed in official clothes, wearing an official hat, so that the dog came to the court of the court to go to the court, this matter so that hundreds of deep shame for the shame of the intention, but Liu Hong is happy.

The second is to make the palace dirty, Liu Hong as the emperor, day and night thinking is not the national government, but how to enjoy playing. As a result, Liu Hong in order to reflect the immersive sense of immersion, directly in the harem to open a piece of the market, according to the look of the market, there are all kinds of stores and entertainment, so that the harem concubines and other people pretending to be the merchants and customers of the stores. Liu Hong himself is having fun, but make the palace become a mess.

Thirdly, it is not clean dirty. Liu Hong's tireless dedication to having fun is a tribute to his work. A.D. 186, this time has been from the end of the Han Dynasty in the light of the chaos of a few years, the turmoil around the world has begun to move, but Liu Hong does not worry about these, he has to continue to have fun in the palace.

This time, he ordered people to build more than 1,000 rooms, water into the interior, becoming a luxurious giant bath, Liu Hong personally named "Naked Tourist Pavilion". As the name suggests, its absurdity can be imagined. Liu Hong made the palace concubines undressed in the water to play, see on the rise, Liu Hong also joined them. So chaotic, even if the bath again, water more, I'm afraid that can not wash clean Liu Hong that dirty "dirty heart". The foundation of the Eastern Han Empire is also in Liu Hong's "swish swish swish" towards the demise.

Said Han's three dirty, and then look at the Tang's three chaos.

The chaos of the Han Dynasty is best known as the chaos of the seven kingdoms, but corresponding to the Tang Dynasty, the chaos is no less important.

The first chaos of Tang: the Anshi Rebellion.

The rebellion started by An Lushan and Shi Siming could be called the first rebellion in the history of Tang, because the An Shi Rebellion caused the most serious damage to Tang and shook the foundation of Tang. Mainly manifested in three aspects:

One is to cause the people to live in poverty, in the case of living without a place to live, they have unveiled a revolt, social unrest intensified;

The second is the result of frequent war is the result of the increase in deaths and injuries, the population declined in the literature and history of the author of a meter of warmth and sunshine of the Tang Dynasty by the Anshi Rebellion, a great deal of vitality, why it lasted for another 144 years? In an article, this is a very in-depth analysis, such as mentioning some places in Henan, once prosperous, up to 10,000 households, but after the Anshi Rebellion, only 2 hundred households, such a situation, very common, "the old book of the Tang Dynasty" said:

"East to Zheng, Bianbian, up to the Xufang, the north from the Qin, Wyoming, by the Xiangtu, for the people cut off, thousands of miles of depression. "

The third is that the Anshi Rebellion for the clans a bad start, making the clans more do not put the Tang court in the eyes, exacerbating the contradiction between the Tang court and the clans, and at the same time because of the Tang court's downward trend, more triggered by the border tribes to take advantage of the fire.

It can be said that the Anshi Rebellion was a cancer planted on the body of the Tang Dynasty, and the subsequent development was just the cancerous process of this cancerous cell.

The second chaos of Tang: the Yangzhou Mutiny.

The Yangzhou Mutiny, though not as serious as the Anshi Rebellion, was extremely different in terms of its significance in the history of the Tang Dynasty. The Yangzhou Mutiny, led by Xu Jingye, represents the orthodoxy of the Li Tang Dynasty, or rather Xu Jingye's group of people are defending the strict succession of the Li Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, they are also defending the interests of the ministers of merit and the descendants of the ministers of merit who have contributed to the Li Tang Dynasty.

No matter what Xu Jingye defended, the object of his opposition, however, was different from the usurper of any dynasty, for it was Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in ancient history. In Wu Zetian's case, she sat in the imperial capital of the Tang Empire, and in a way, she also held the flag of the "rightful" king.

Putting aside the various power struggles, it can be said that the Yangzhou mutiny can be understood as a confrontation between the two genders at its root. On the one hand, in ancient times, men were originally inferior to women, but on the other hand, Wu Zetian wanted to change this situation, and it so happened that the situation she was in at the time was also conducive for her to play, since she possessed the right place, right time, and even the right people and (the support of a large number of courtiers), then she could not let go of this opportunity to show their own?

The confrontation between men's power and women's power resulted in the victory of women's power. Wu Zetian's triumph over women's rights was a blessing and a curse for Tang. On the one hand, Wu Zetian made the Great Tang continue to prosper by virtue of her superior talent; but on the other hand, after Wu Zetian's death, she left behind a serious aftermath, which made the political situation of the Tang Dynasty chaotic for a long period of time. This was also extremely unfavorable to the overall development of the Great Tang.

The Third Chaos of Tang: Huang Chao Uprising.

As a sequel to the Wang Xianzhi Uprising, the Huang Chao Uprising was much more powerful and tumultuous, lasting about 9 years and affecting almost the entire country. The impact on the rule of the Li Tang Dynasty was no less than that of the An Shi Rebellion. The most incredible thing is that cannibalism occurred in Huang Chao's uprising, which is rare in the world. In the Old Book of Tang, the 150th Biography of Huang Chao, it is said, "(The thieves refer to Huang Chao and his insurgent army.) The thieves captured people and ate them, killing thousands of them every day." The Ziji Tongjian - the second twenty-five volumes of the said: "(Huang Chao rebel army) thieves plundered people for food."
