Sui Dynasty, a powerful feudal dynasty that initiated the unification of China, once had a vast territory, invincible military and advanced and open culture, but it was a flash in the pan in feudal history and perished like the Qin Dynasty.
As the king of national subjugation, Yang Di was gradually demonized because he was misunderstood by later generations for a long time. What kind of person was Emperor Yang Guang?
Young marshal
Luo Yin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in the poem "Yang Mausoleum": Entering Guo, leaving Guo boat, the Red Chamber will open every day. Wang Yinren flat industry, only a few acres of land in Boleitang. This poem was written by Yang Di rumbled Yang Guang. At the age of eighteen, he led 500,000 soldiers and horses across the Yangtze River and destroyed the Chen regime.
In 588 AD, Emperor Wendi of Sui ordered Yang Guang, who was only 18 years old, to lead a total of 500,000 people in the navy and army to attack the Chen regime. With the help of Xiao Mohe and other famous generals, it took three months to destroy the biggest enemy of the Sui Dynasty, thus completing the reunification of the Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains. This war also made the Sui Emperor Yang Guang shine in history.
Initiate the imperial examination
The imperial examination system first arose during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. At that time, it was still in its infancy, and there were few subjects in the imperial examination. After Yang Di succeeded to the throne, the imperial examination system was widely implemented and won the support of intellectuals. The establishment of the imperial examination system broke the official career system of Shi Qing for thousands of years, broke the backward and solidified social hierarchy order, and opened up the vertical circulation channel of social hierarchy. It not only ensures that the lower-level intellectuals have the opportunity to be born, but also enables the local authorities to continuously send talents to the central government.
canalization
One of the man-made wonders that shocked the world, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was dug during the reign of Yang Di. According to historical records, during the opening of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the number of people working at the same time reached 600,000 every day, which lasted for six years. This human project, which starts from Beijing in the north and ends in Hangzhou in the south, spans five major water systems and has a total length of 1794 km, has to be said to be a miracle in human history. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has a direct impact on the economic development of later generations.
Emperor gifted scholar
Emperor Yang Di hanged himself as a marshal at the age of eighteen, thus completing the disaster for Uncle Chen. Such an emperor with outstanding martial arts is actually a gifted scholar emperor. Yang Di once left the famous sentence "Moonlight on a Spring River": Twilight is boundless, and spring is blooming. The waves will leave the moon, and the tide will bring stars. The whole poem is neat and even, rhymes properly, and is called a model of Sui poetry by later generations.
abstract
Although Emperor Yang Di is a famous tyrant in history, the author thinks that the tyrant is unfair, and he is just a little anxious. In order to achieve something and build an immortal cause, spare no effort in the whole country. Later generations should make a rational and objective evaluation of such an emperor with mixed reputation and obvious merits and demerits.
