Because Chinese characters are difficult to write, writing is more casual, and it is very personal and artistic, so there is the most unique group of people in the world-calligraphers. There are many famous typos in China, most of which appear in cultural sites or tourist attractions. Here, I find four of the most typical famous "typos" and have a chat with you.
The world's first typo-"avoidance"
Summer resort
The reason why it is the first typo in the world is because it was written by the emperor himself and hung in front of important national places.
Above the meridian gate of the main hall of chengde mountain resort, a plaque is hung, surrounded by gold-plated bronze dragon relief, and there are four glittering Chinese characters on the blue plaque: "Summer Resort".
But at first glance, you will find that there is a horizontal line in the lower half of the word "Xin" to the right of the word "taboo". This typo was written by Kangxi himself and engraved in the fiftieth year of Kangxi.
Kangxi wrote one more line, and the courtiers should have seen it immediately, but the emperor was eloquent and no one dared to remind him that he had made a mistake, resulting in the first typo in the world.
In Qing Dynasty, chengde mountain resort was an important political place. The royal reception of leaders of Mongolia, Tibet, Xinjiang and other ethnic minorities is in the summer resort. I wonder how those leaders will feel when they see this typo.
The most famous typo-"fish"
"Watching fish in Huagang" is one of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake, and the tablet "Watching fish in Huagang" is also the imperial pen of Emperor Kangxi. The four points under the traditional word "cross" on the tablet have become three points, a little less. Kangxi is not unable to write this word, but "deliberately misspelled."
Kangxi believed in Buddhism and had the virtue of being good at life. When he wrote the inscription, he thought that there were four points under the word "fish", which represented "fire". If the fish is roasted under the fire, can it still live? So I deliberately wrote less, and at three o'clock it turned into "water", allowing fish to swim around in the lake and live smartly.
The most philosophical typo-"Liu"
Love is everywhere.
In Pingshan Hall, daming temple, Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, the plaque on the left side of the main hall was written by Liu Kunyi, governor of the two rivers in the early years of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty. It is said that it was written by Liu Kunyi in memory of Ouyang Xiu who was in charge of Yangzhou.
There are two typos in the word "romance": less "flow" and more "present".
It turns out that Ouyang Xiu, a famous historical figure, was a "romantic satrap" when he was in Yangzhou, and he did a lot of affairs under the pomegranate skirt of Yangzhou beauty, with various amorous feelings, unique colors and art.
It goes without saying that Liu Kunyi deliberately wrote less "flow" and more "presence" in "Romantic". He wants to be less romantic and more practical, which is very philosophical.
Such a sentence is just right, so no one has made irresponsible remarks so far, but it has become a much-told story.
The most striking typo-"Fu"
The "typo" in the couplet on Confucius' doorstep
Confucius House in Qufu, Shandong Province can be said to be the most cultural place in the world, but visitors to Confucius House can see particularly obvious typos without entering the gate.
Just above the gate of Confucius House, there is a plaque with the gold word "Fu Sheng" on a blue background, and there are a pair of couplets on both sides, which read: "Enjoy the country, be honored in the imperial court, and write the moral saint family on the same day."
The word "rich" in the upper part of the couplet is a little less, and the treasure cover has become a bald treasure cover. Looking at the couplets again, there is another word that is extremely irregular: a vertical line under the word "Zhang" leads to the top.
The beauty of the original typo is that "rich" is not in the early stage, which means "rich without a head"; There is a head under the word "Zhang", which means "the article reaches heaven."
Two typos, all of a sudden, reflected the identity of Confucius' family. Not only did no one say it was a typo, but visitors were also amazed after understanding it.
Who are the four ugly women in the history of China?
One is the wife of his mother Huangdi (mó),
Second, Zhong Wuyan in the Warring States Period.
Third, Meng Guang, a chaste woman in the Eastern Han Dynasty,
Fourth, scare Ruan's daughter away from Sina.
Mo Mu is the second princess of the Yellow Emperor and the first ugly woman recorded in history. According to legend, she is a chubby black woman with a wide forehead and a flat nose. Some people say that the masks worn by the witches who jump into the sky in later generations are based on Mo Mu.
It can be said that it is very scary. Cover the baby's little heart. However, Mo Mu is a woman with excellent virtues, which is usually called beauty of mind. The Yellow Emperor trusted Mo Mu very much and gave her the task of managing the harem. Mo Mu manages the harem very well. After that, Lei Zu, the princess of the Yellow Emperor, died of illness, and all the sacrificial matters were handled by Mo Mu. From then on, she kept in front of Leizu's grave every day and organized people to come to offer sacrifices. Although she was bitter and bored, she didn't complain.
Zhong Wuyan's real name is Zhong Lichun, and Zhong Wuyan is what later generations call her in the drama. Even uglier than Mo Mu, he has a big head, a man's Adam's apple, a nose facing the sky, and most importantly, Zhong Wuyan is bald. Ugliness is one of her characteristics, but it is nothing compared with talent.
Because of her face, Zhong Wuyan never got married. No one came to propose. She wanted to marry the then monarch, Qi Xuanwang. Although Zhong Wuyan is a woman, she still has the ambition that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. So she came to Linzi, the capital, and made a clear analysis of the existing problems and difficulties of Qi, pointing out that the King of Qi would be destroyed by Qin.
Hearing this, Qi Xuanwang's mind suddenly woke up and thought that Zhong Wuyan was like a mirror to him, which could reflect his shortcomings, so he married Zhong Wuyan and made her his queen.
Everyone has heard of the idiom Qi Mei, which originated from Meng Guang and her husband Hong Liang. It is true that Meng Guang is an ugly girl, or more accurately, an ugly girl with great strength. Perhaps because she is strong and good at farming, her situation will be better than that of Zhong Wuyan, and many people have come to propose. But Meng Guang refused one by one, which made him 30 years older. Meng Guang's parents are worried. There are several girls of Meng Guang's age. Meng Guang is still an old maid to be married. Ask Meng Guang, it turns out that Meng Guang already has a sweetheart, and that is Hongliang.
Meng Guang thinks Hongliang is a moral gentleman and admires him. At this time, although Hongliang was not married, the matchmaker almost stepped on the threshold of his home. Unexpectedly, when Hongliang heard about it, he asked the matchmaker to propose marriage to Meng Guang's family. In this way, Meng Guang married his sweetheart, took good care of Hongliang's daily life, respected Hongliang very much, and even the food was eaten by Hongliang in front of Meng Guangju, which became a much-told story from then on.
Ruan's daughter is Xu Yun's wife. At that time, both men and women were blind and dumb, and they probably got married before they met. As a result, on the wedding night, Xu Yun lifted his wife's veil and was scared away after seeing her appearance. Ruan wanted to solve this problem, so he went to Xu Yun, dragged him and asked him: To be your wife, I deserve everything except my face; As a scholar, you are lewd and immoral, and you are not worthy to be a scholar! Xu Yun was speechless. After careful consideration, she put aside her prejudices and moved in with Ruan.
Although there are four ugly girls, their endings are better than those of four beautiful women. It can be seen that beauty and ugliness are not the only criteria for judging a woman, do you think?
