What would happen if you went back in time and gave Qin Shihuang a "middle finger"?
The person who asked this question is really talented. hahaha. I laughed to death. But since the question has been asked, I will answer it honestly.

The origin of "middle finger" gesture

First of all, the gesture of "vertical middle finger" originated from the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France (the period was 1337- 1453). As we all know (even if we don't know), the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France can be said to be one of the longest wars in world history. Why is it one of them? Because the war history between the Han Empire and the Xiongnu Empire is longer than this.

In the war, the famous British archer corps caused great losses to French soldiers. The French soldier swore: "After defeating the opponent, break the fingers of the English archer who draws the bow."

However, the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. As a result of this battle, the French army was defeated. When the French army retreated, the British archers stretched out their right and middle fingers to despise their opponents and mock the previous ambitions of the French soldiers.

Qin Shi Huang

I unified the six countries and the whole world. I built the Great Wall to protect Long Mai in Kyushu and protect our country. I swear here in the name of my late emperor! I am here. When I defend my territory and open my borders, I will destroy the four barbarians and lay the foundation for the Qin Dynasty forever! When I die, I will become a dragon soul, and I will get the blessing of China's eternal prosperity! This oath, as evidenced by the sun and the moon, is shared by heaven and earth, and gods and demons listen to it!

How's it going? Did your blood boil when you heard this sentence? Passion? The first emperor said countless famous words in his life, but everyone thought this sentence was the most domineering. I believe I don't need to say more about the achievements of the first emperor. In fact, everyone is already familiar with it. What I want to tell you is how the name "Qin Shihuang" came from.

There are "three emperors and five emperors" in the history of China. Huang San is the emperor, Huangdi and Tai Huang (Ren Huang), and the five emperors are Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku, Yao and Shun.

At that time, the Five Emperors felt that Huang San's achievements were higher than their own, so they lowered their title by one notch, and changed from "Emperor" to "Emperor". When Dayu arrived, he felt that his achievements were not as good as Yao Shun's, so he reduced the "emperor" to "emperor", so in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the people and courtiers called the king "king".

However, after Qin Shihuang and the unification of the six countries, it was suggested that Qin Shihuang should be regarded as "Tai Huang". Because Tai Huang in Huang San was too expensive, Qin Shihuang refused, because Qin Shihuang felt that his achievements were higher than those of the three emperors and five emperors, so he took the "emperor" of Huang San and the "emperor" of the five emperors to form the word "emperor". Because he was the first, he was also called "Qin Shihuang".

Do you know how domineering Qin Shihuang was when he said this? We have made these two settings clear, so now we will answer this question from two aspects.

First, Qin Shihuang didn't know the meaning of this gesture.

I don't know if it's normal behavior, but although the gesture of your middle finger is not directed at Qin Shihuang, the beauty of the emblem is called Hua, and the ceremony of etiquette is called Xia. According to the etiquette at that time, you must be rude, and then you are finished. After all, Daqin is a country ruled by law.

But at the same time, Daqin is a good corporal, and he urgently needs talents from all over the world to enter Xianyang. At this time, if you can justify yourself, you may even be sealed.

For example, the middle finger is commonly used by archers, but the crossbow in the Qin Dynasty is the best in the world, so it attaches great importance to archers. Qin Shihuang hopes to live forever. He believes in ghosts and gods, so he combines these two characteristics.

At this time, you can say that you are celestial, but when you reach the mortal world, your magic is completely lost. He's a fool anyway, but I guess this fool will kill you. After all, the ancients were not vegetarians.

Then there is only one way for you to choose, that is to stand on the shoulders of giants and admire the people at that time, and analyze the general trend of the world at that time by taking advantage of travelers. Then, if you are familiar with history, those people will definitely be fooled by you and regard you as a great genius. At this time, you basically have no worries.

Then you said it was the etiquette of archers in your hometown. The middle finger is the most important thing for an archer, and the vertical middle finger is the highest respect for this soldier. Then Qin Shihuang will turn anger into joy, so you can rest easy for the time being.

Second, Qin Shihuang knew the meaning of this gesture.

Boy, Qin Shihuang knows this meaning, then you are finished. Qin Shihuang was such a domineering figure that the war was too decisive. Has Qin Shihuang seen the Dafuqin playing? And that 400 thousand alchemist, you know? Anyway, I guess if I dare to point the finger at Qin Shihuang, the tragic ending will go down in history or something.
