In the long river of history, we can often see some heroes and idols stigmatized, and Ouyang Xiu is one of them. Some of his own flaws and imperfections became the pretext for his opponents to attack him, and his flawless image was tarnished by the scandals of his relatives. This kind of technique, which we see every day, has become no stranger.
Ouyang Xiu, a righteous and outspoken scholar, every one of his admonitions shows his uprightness, and he has defeated countless ** and set up countless enemies. However, there are many enemies, so someone is looking for lice on him. His style of exile, especially when he was young, prostitutes, and writing glamorous words, were all popular in the Song Dynasty, and they were not much black material. However, it depends on who does it, Liu Yong thinks it is normal for everyone to do these things, but as a spiritual idol of a scholar, he hopes that he will be cautious in his words and deeds and be a righteous gentleman.
In Ouyang Xiu's life, he encountered many stigmatizing incidents. Among them, the most well-known is the "Zhang nephew case". During the trial, Zhang's nephew suddenly said that he had an affair with Ouyang Xiu when he was not married. This accusation caused great harm to Ouyang Xiu and caused him great humiliation.
The anger was palpable. We have to ask: what is the motivation behind this stigmatization? Is it to attack Ouyang Xiu himself? Or is it to satisfy the selfish desires of some people? Whatever the reason, this behavior is despicable.
Ouyang Xiu's experience is not an isolated case. There are many heroes and icons throughout our history who have suffered similar stigmatization. They are made to be flawed and imperfect; They are made to be perfect, and their relatives are to be made perfect. We're no stranger to this approach.
History, however, should not be tarnished by stigmatization. The image of heroes and idols should be respected and protected. We cannot tolerate such slander and slander against them. We need an unbiased historical record, an image of a true hero and icon.
We should make our voices heard in the face of this stigmatization. We want to defend the image of those who are stigmatized, and we want to bring history back to the truth. Only in this way can we let the light of history illuminate our future.
Here, we would like to pay tribute to Ouyang Xiu, whose courage, justice and persistence are an example for us to learn from Xi. We would like to call on all sectors of society to jointly resist this stigmatization and give Ouyang Xiu justice. Let's fight for history and justice together!
