What is the opening ceremony? Wu Zetian? Two thousand five hundred years ago, when Buddha Sakyamuni was preaching Dharma, one day, Buddha Sakyamuni took his disciple Yi Tuo out to fast. A group of children are playing with a pile of sand on the road. One of the delicate girls saw Sakyamuni Buddha leading his disciples far away, grabbed a handful of sand from the ground with both hands, walked up to the Buddha and put it in his rice bowl. Sakyamuni accepted her sand politely.
Todoroki, the great disciple, couldn't stand it any longer and thought this girl was too outrageous. How can she tease my master with sand? On the way, I couldn't help it, so I asked, Master, how could that girl put sand in your rice bowl just now make the Buddha laugh like this? You don't know, after thousands of years, this woman has matured and wants to be king in the Eastern Sinian country. If I don't collect her sand at this time, she will try to destroy the Buddha. I collected her sand, so that she can form this kind of good karma. In the future, she will promote Buddhism when she becomes king. ?
This girl is a generation of heroine Wu Zetian in the history of China. She was born with the dragon and phoenix of the emperor. Wu Zetian was a nun for four or five years before she became a queen. She is not only a devout Buddhist, but also proficient in Buddhism. She later wrote a four-sentence poem praising Buddhism, which became the opening poem of Buddhist chanting and spread for thousands of years.
The origin of this poem is said to be when Wu Zetian was emperor. Because Wu Zetian is a devout Buddhist, she loves Hua Yan Jing very much. I always felt that Jin's translation of Sixty Hua Yan was too lacking and incomplete, so I felt very sorry, so I sent a special envoy to India to ask for this book to see if there was a complete book. At this time, Sanzang of Khotan Kingdom got the book, and she even invited the mage to come to China. This mage is Siksananda. After he came, he presided over the translation of Hua Yan Jing. Master Siksananda is a well-known mage with great prestige in the Western Regions. We China, Dade, even the emperor admired him. The emperor personally hired Master Siksananda to come to China. When Master Siksananda came, he brought the Huayan Sutra, which was also incomplete. However, there are 9,000 more poems than Jin's translation, so there are 45,000 poems. The meaning and interest of Da Jing can already be seen. The field of translation is also very large, and Wu Zetian herself often participates.
After the translation, when Wu Zetian first read Hua Yan Jing, she was very happy because she realized the mystery and rarity of Buddhism, so she felt it and gave it an opening poem, which is what we are reading now.
The legendary story of Wu Zetian's demotion of peony Wu Zetian ascended the throne and claimed to be the Emperor of the Holy Spirit. One winter, she was suddenly in high spirits and took her concubines and maids to Shangyuan for drinking and enjoying the snow. At this time, the heavy snow has just stopped, and the scenery of rockeries, pavilions, bridges and promenades are all dressed in white plain clothes; Although all kinds of flowers and trees have withered branches and leaves, they look particularly beautiful after being dressed up by snow, just like silver branches and jade flowers; Occasionally, two birds fly in, gently brushing the dust off the branches and scattering clouds of white catkins, just like flying butterflies. Wu Zetian was fascinated, but she didn't expect the snow scene to be so magnificent. Suddenly, she found a little flame burning and jumping in the white snow. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a red berry in full bloom. Wu Zetian is so happy! Can't help singing a poem to express her joy. Seeing the queen mother so happy, the concubines who accompanied the flowers were scrambling to propose a toast to her. At this time, a concubine said: Wuhou, plum blossoms are no matter how good they are, after all, they are opened by one person. Wouldn't it be more desirable if you could make a law to make this garden blossom?
Another concubine shook her head and said, now it's cold winter, and plum blossoms are just at that time. If a hundred flowers blossom, it will have to wait until next spring. ?
Wu Zetian said with a smile, it is not surprising that spring is blooming. Let a hundred flowers blossom and fight the snow, which is just what I want. ?
Seeing that she was a little drunk, the concubines advised, Wuhou, it's getting late. Go back to the palace and have a rest. Come back tomorrow morning if you still want to see it. ?
Wu Zetian returned to the palace with the help of maids. But she was still drunk and wanted to let a hundred flowers blossom for snow. So, the maid-in-waiting brought Four Treasures of the Study, immediately holding the cream, dipped in thick ink, and wrote a five-character poem on the white silk:
I swam to the garden in the Ming Dynasty and quickly reported to Chunzhi.
Flowers must be placed overnight, don't wait for the breeze to blow.
After writing, she asked the maid-in-waiting to take it to the garden and burn it to inform the flower god.
The maid-in-waiting took Wu Zetian's imperial edict to the garden and burned it, which frightened the Baihua Fairy. Let's get together quickly and discuss countermeasures together.
Peach Blossom Fairy has the least courage, she said in a low voice. Wu Zetian was cruel and did everything she could. We dare not disobey! ?
Several little flower fairies also timidly echoed and said, Yes! It's better to prepare early and open in advance! ?
The peony fairy disagreed with them and said angrily? Wu Zetian is too overbearing. You are in charge of personnel, and now you are in charge of us. These flowers are open, each with its own season, creating the world and following the four seasons. How dare you go against the sky? Sisters, we can't start from! ?
After hearing what fairy peony said, all Hua Xian felt that every sentence made sense. But the thought of Wu Zetian's cruelty made me hesitate again.
The Peach Blossom Fairy implored fairy peony and said, Dear sister, please listen to me. Let's obey. Wu Zetian kills people like stepping on an ant, not to mention our delicate flowers.
Many fairies went on to say:? Sister is also at this time. Otherwise, it will be a disaster. ?
Fairy peony stubbornly said:? You can't do anything against your will once. As long as our bones are strong and firm, let's see what she can do with me.
By this time, it was already four watches, and it was almost dawn. Seeing that the fairy had made up her mind about peony, the Huaxian had to leave in a hurry to enjoy the flowers by herself.
Birds are chirping and dawn is coming. When Wu Zetian woke up, she was completely drunk. She got dressed, sat in front of the mirror and asked the maid to dress her up. Just then, the maid-in-waiting opened the door and came in, joyfully reporting: Long live, Shangyuan Baihua is in full bloom! ?
As soon as Wu Zetian listened to the music, she thought of the poem she wrote at night, but? Drunk joke? I didn't expect it to be the flowers on the order. She hurried out of the palace and came to Shangyuan. Looking up, the peach blossoms, plum blossoms, magnolia, begonia, hibiscus and cloves in the garden are all in full bloom, in clusters, in clusters, with colorful colors. Brilliant morning glow sets off flowers, bright white snow sets off green leaves, swaying with the wind, leaning down and leaning up, graceful and charming. At this time, all the civil and military officials in the Qing Dynasty came to see the rarity. Wu Zetian faced all the ministers and got carried away, striding towards a bare peony. Her anger rose when she saw that only the peony was not put in the flower. I thought, this is great! If you don't obey me, how can I take power in North Korea? Besides, isn't it humiliating to face these officials? The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she swore: bold peony! How dare you be so presumptuous? You can't resist the decree. Set it on fire, not a tree left! ? Say and leave angrily.
After receiving the order, the warriors immediately lit firewood to make a fire and threw it into the peony bushes. In an instant, the smoke was rolling and the fire was soaring, and only the peony was ringing. Fairy peony looked at a piece of peony that was about to be destroyed, and couldn't help but shed tears, which made her sad and angry.
At noon, the fire was finished, and the peony garden turned into a piece of burnt ash. The chamberlain told Wu Zetian: Long live the sovereign, the peony has burned to ashes.
Wu Zetian was still angry and said bitterly: uproot, exile Chang 'an, throw it into Mangshan Mountain in Luoyang, and make it extinct! ?
Why did Wu Zetian demote peony to Mangshan Mountain in Luoyang? It turns out that she often comes to Luoyang and has been to Mangshan. She knows that the ravines are vertical and horizontal, remote and desolate, and she can bear it alone in order to feel avenged.
The warriors immediately waved the shovel again, dug up the peony roots, loaded it into Luoyang overnight, and threw it in Mangshanling.
Who knows, as soon as peony entered the new soil, it took root again. Next spring, the mountains will be green. Mangshan people have long liked peony, and every household has transplanted it. Later, people in the city heard about it and came to transplant it. The peony fairy was very happy to see that Luoyang people loved peony so much. When I arrived in Grain Rain, the plants were in full bloom and varied. People who look at peonies, who help the old and take care of the young, are constantly in the morning and evening, and there are a sea of people, which is extraordinary.
Peony in Luoyang is in full bloom. Because this peony was identified in the fire of Wu Zetian, people praised it as? Burnt peony? . Later, after careful cultivation by Luoyang people, the flowers became redder and more colourful, so later generations named them? Luoyang red? .
Wu Zetian told stories and allusions to rule the world.
When Wu Zetian was still in infancy, Yuan Tiangang was surprised to see Wu Zetian's mother Shi Yang. The lady's face must give birth to a son! ? Wu Zetian's mother sold her two sons Wu Hewu to Yuan Tiangang for face reading. But Yuan Tiangang said that he can be an official with Taoism, but he is only a risk-averse who can protect his family, and it should not be too expensive. Yang also called Wu Zetian's sister (later called Mrs. Han) out for Yuan Tiangang to take photos, Yuan Tiangang said? This woman is expensive, not good for her husband! ? Finally, Wu Zetian was carried out by the nanny dressed as a boy. When Yuan Tiangang saw Wu Zetian as a baby, she was shocked and said she was? Dragon pupil and phoenix neck tests are extremely expensive! ? But I regret to say: unfortunately it is a man. If it is a woman, it is the master of the world! ? [77-78]
Love poems tell a person's feelings
After the death of Emperor Taizong, as a talented person, Wu Zetian lived in Ganye Temple. Previously, Wu Zetian had an affair with Prince Li Zhi (later Tang Gaozong). In Ganye Temple, Wu Zetian wrote a love poem "Ruyi Niang": Seeing Zhu thinking one after another, he was haggard and fragmented. If you don't believe me, you will often cry. ? Wu Zetian often recited this poem in her later years.
Wu Zetian and Li Zhi are both husband and wife and political partners. After Li Zhi's death, Wu Zetian wrote a sincere eulogy, demanding that he must be buried with Li Zhi. The tombs of the two men were built according to the specifications of the buried tombs.
Chuangzi changed her name to Wu Zetian as a reform culture and created "Zetian Script". Some Japanese characters have also spread to Japan and South Korea, and even become the names of some Japanese.
The year before Wu Zetian proclaimed herself emperor, she changed her name to? Huh? (zh？ O). What is it? Photos? What is the writing in Zetian Character? The sun and the moon are in the sky? Meaning. Working again? Hey? , take? Eyes in the air? Meaning. [2] Wu Zetian thinks that she is as lofty as the sun and the moon, hanging high above the sky.
Elephant Tang Ming
Tang Ming is not only the official palace, but also the place where Wu Zetian worships. Where is the Supreme Mansion? , a symbol of imperial power, enjoying the court was an important political activity when Wu Zetian was in power. Before the Wu Zhou Revolution, Wu Zetian had rewarded Tang Ming five times.
In fact, from the completion of Tang Ming, after Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, from the first year of Yongchang (689) to the fourth year of Chang 'an (704), the temple became the main hall and her ruling center almost every year.
Preference for Toy Boy
The celebrities of Wu Zetian (Toy Boy) recorded in Old Tang Book include Xue Huaiyi, Zhang Yizhi, Zhang Changzong and Shen Nan. They are all handsome men with good figure who can satisfy Wu Zetian's desire.
Wu Zetian has a large number of Toy Boy. In order to strengthen their management, in 698 AD, Wu Zetian set up a crane control prison. At the beginning of 700 AD, she changed the crane control to Fengzhen House, which was managed by two brothers, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong, and became the emperor? Three palaces and six hospitals? Are the Zhang brothers like the East Palace and the West Palace? Queen? 、? Imperial concubine? Become Wu Zetian? Concubine? Main manager.
Wordless monument
See: no word tablet.
The tablet without words is located in Ganling (now Ganxian County, Shaanxi Province), where Wu Zetian and Gao Zong were buried together. The regulations of the whole cemetery are modeled after Chang 'an, Tang Jing. There are two monuments in front of the tomb, one is the tombstone of Emperor Gaozong, with the inscription of Wu Zetian; The other is the tombstone of Wu Zetian, with no words. The stone tablet of a queen who is superstitious about words has not been engraved with a word. There are several sayings: the first is that Wu Zetian stood up? No word tablet? Used to boast of oneself, indicating that words can't express a person's advantages and virtues; The second view is that Wu Zetian stood up? No word tablet? Because I know that I am sinful, I think it is better not to write an inscription; The third view is that Wu Zetian is a self-aware person. No word tablet? It is a smart move and the best way for future generations to comment on merits and demerits; There is also a saying that Wu Zetian's son hates his mother. She wrote an inscription, but her son hid it in the grave, leaving a tablet without words. Some scholars believe that the stone tablet was originally intended to be engraved, but after the death of Wu Zetian, the political situation was turbulent, and political forces of various factions could not make due comments on Wu Zetian, so it was dropped. There is also a saying that Wu Zetian is both an emperor and a queen, and others don't know how to write an inscription, so there is no text.
