Speaking of wordless tablet, our first reaction was the famous Wu Zetian, who set up wordless tablet after her death. So who else in history has set up a tablet without words except Wu Zetian? According to historical records, there are three wordless monuments in history, including Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian's Wordless Monument in Ganling, Shaanxi The first wordless monument in China's history appeared in Ganling, Shaanxi, and its owner was Empress Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian is a controversial figure in the history of China. During the feudal period, the status of men was higher than that of women, and she became the first female emperor in the history of China, which was a very subversive move!
During her reign, she made good use of people, followed the historical trend, carried out reforms, developed production and improved the imperial examination system, which can be described as outstanding achievements! During her decades of rule, she not only consolidated the achievements of Zhenguan rule, but also laid a solid foundation for the later Kaiyuan Shi Sheng. However, no one is perfect, and so is the emperor. There is no denying that Wu Zetian's achievements are outstanding, but during her tenure, she abused cruel officials, resulting in the deaths of many civil servants and military attaché s. At the same time, she was superstitious about Buddhism and built temples, especially in her later years, and made many mistakes! Perhaps, she also realized these problems, so she set up a wordless monument for future generations to comment on her merits and demerits.
The second tablet without words in Nanjing Qin Gui appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty. This character is also "famous", but he has a bad reputation. He is one of the famous traitors in China history: Qin Gui.
Presumably, the story that Qin Gui framed the national hero Yue Fei has been circulated for nearly a thousand years. Qin Gui was named "King of Jiankang County" by Song Gaozong after his death, and was buried in the southwest suburb of Nanjing. His tablet without words was not designed by himself, perhaps because of his evil deeds. People think that he has no face to face the world, so he has no words to write.
The third tablet without words in Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum appeared in the Republic of China, and its owner was Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the father of the country.
Sun Yat-sen is an epoch-making figure. He has been fighting for the revolution all his life. The achievement of overthrowing China's feudal monarchy for thousands of years and establishing the Republic of China will be immortal. It is also the case that he won the support and admiration of the world, and it is a matter of course to write an epitaph. However, due to political reasons, this matter is naturally full of twists and turns.
It was Mr. Zhang Taiyan who wrote the epitaph for Sun Yat-sen, but Chiang Kai-shek lost an opportunity to gain political capital because of his official document commemorating Sun Yat-sen, so he was opposed by Chiang Kai-shek. Therefore, after the completion of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, there was no epitaph.
Although there is no epitaph in Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, his great achievements have always been praised by future generations. A small tombstone can't express his achievements. It can be said that words speak louder than words, and his achievements will always be engraved in the hearts of future generations.
