The ancients always set up a stone tablet in front of the tomb, most of which were engraved with words to remember their life stories. But there are also gravestones without lettering, which are called wordless monuments.

According to legend, the tombstones of the three ancient people in history are all wordless, that is: Eastern Jin Dynasty? Battle of Surabaya? Xie An, Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Gui, the great traitor of the Southern Song Dynasty.

There is no word on Xie An's tombstone. It is said that it was because he presided over the Battle of Feishui, which hit the arrogant Fu Jian and consolidated the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The so-called:? Great achievements are hard to remember? . Others said that before he died, Xie An asked him who asked him to write the inscription. He shook his head at all the people mentioned, but he was not sure who would write it, so he kept it empty.

There are no words on the tombstone of Empress Wu Zetian in China. Why are there no words? Opinions vary. There is a saying: Wu Zetian thinks her contribution is too great to be written on a small stone tablet; Another way of saying it is: Wu Zetian believes that merits and demerits are judged by future generations. Why write it?

Wu Zetian attached importance to and loved talents. During her decades in power, she paid attention to selecting talents and entrusted her with the post of general, which made the country's reunification consolidated and the social economy further developed. However, Wu Zetian also got close to some traitors, appointed cruel officials and created unjust imprisonment, which was an unforgivable sin. Is merit greater than profit or merit greater than profit? Hard to say! So some people think that Wu Zetian stood? No word tablet? Because I know that I am sinful, I think it is better not to write an inscription.

There is no writing on the tombstone of Qin Gui in the Southern Song Dynasty. This is because he framed Zhongliang and betrayed the country for glory. So-called? Dirty and ugly behavior, contempt for books? . It is said that after Qin Gui's death, no one wrote an inscription for him, so he had to set up a tablet without an inscription. Not only that, but the cemetery in Qin Gui was later called? Dog burial village? . It can be seen that the people clearly love and hate, hate this big traitor, and nail him to the historical shame forever!

Apart from these three monuments, the mount Taishan tablet without words is the most puzzling, because it is unknown when and by whom it was erected. The most common saying is that it was written by Qin Shihuang or Han Wudi, because their meditation is clearly recorded in Historical Records. But who is it is still inconclusive.
