Wei Zhongxian took advantage of his youth to castrate himself and cut off the root of his life, entered the palace as a eunuch, and was appreciated by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, so he became rich and noble.
In order to make up for the physical shortcomings, Wei Zhongxian wantonly built a shrine for himself, the standard configuration of the ancestral hall is a high and hard monument to virtue, looking at it from a distance, a pillar of optimus, not **, better than **, one of which has survived to this day, I don't know if it is considered "a hundred generations".
Because of Wei Zhongxian, the reputation of the ancestral hall is stinky, and when modern people hear that a living person has erected a monument to himself, his first reaction is that it is not a serious thing.
But if you trace the history of the ancestral hall, it's really a serious thing.
The so-called ancestral hall can be traced back to the Han Dynasty at the earliest, and most of them are because the ancestral hall owner cares about the people's livelihood and does good things for the people, and the masses spontaneously build it.
The most hated Wei Zhongxian's ancestral hall is the Donglin party, because the Donglin party itself is closely related to the ancestral hall, many ancestral halls at that time were built to commend the Donglin party, such as Ouyang Dongfeng, he was overstepped due to a natural disaster, and the local people were grateful and established the ancestral hall for him to commemorate.
In other words, the ancestral hall is part of the "Confucian image politics", and who can refuse to live for generations?
The eunuch Wei Zhongxian's stirring up is undoubtedly a merciless mockery of the theory and practice of Confucian ancestral halls.
Wei Gong made his head public, and many petty traitors and cool officials also knew the marrow, and learned from each other, using the ancestral hall as a tool to make it a flattering way in the officialdom and win the appreciation of their superiors.
Changhuan County of the Ming Dynasty ordered Kochizhi, ** the number is huge, but it is passed on to himself through the tree tablet
The first step in erecting the monument is to cut out a large stone slab that is nine feet high and three feet wideIn the second step of erecting the stele, the craftsman carves the dragon at the top of the stele, polishes the stele surface, and erects it on the base of the turtleThe third step of erecting the monument is to help the idle literati write the inscription on Kochizhi, such as "for the benefit of future generations", "for the benefit of a hundred generations" or something.
In the 19th year of Wanli, the Songde Monument of Kochizhi first shook for no reason, and then, the nearby farmers found a big egg, and later, the stone tablet and the big egg sank into the Yellow River.
People sang:The stele shook its head, and the turtle laid eggs.
Shortly thereafter, Kochichi, the stele carver, and the Shudan were all sentenced to hard labor and exile.
**Or profiteers beautify themselves, deceive for a while, can't deceive a lifetime, deceive sentient beings, can't deceive God, clear turbidity, gods and spirits.
What is said to be a hundred generations, but a turtle king bastard.
