骘 is a Chinese character pronounced "zhì". It basically means "male horse", but in some cultural contexts, it also has other meanings.
In the "Book of Songs", there is a poem called "Daya" and "Lingtai", which has a sentence "Four horses are like horses, and they are on the back of a horse", and "Qi" is used here to describe the majesty and majesty of horses. In addition, it is also often used in personal or place names, such as the famous general Buqi during the Three Kingdoms period.
The reason why the Buqi family was razed by the three clans is related to the political strife during the Three Kingdoms period. According to historical records, Buqi's family was a wealthy nobleman of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period and held important military and political power. However, due to the revelation of their alleged rebellion, it eventually led to the collapse of the family.
According to the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, all the members of Buqi's family were executed, and their relatives were also implicated, and the entire family was razed to the ground. This event is also known in history as the "Buqi Rebellion".
What happened to the Buqi family is a microcosm of the political turmoil of the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, the power struggle between the wealthy and aristocratic families was extremely fierce, and various political factions fought openly and secretly, which led to the rise and fall of many families.
The Buqi family's rebellion may have been motivated by self-interest, but in the end they were duly punished. This incident also warns future generations that although the power is great, it must be constrained by morality and conscience, otherwise it will only lead to the road of destruction.
