I. Introduction to Wu Zetian
Wu Zetian (624-705), a native of Wenshui, Bingzhou (now Shaanxi), was the daughter of Shangshu, Queen Li Zhi of the Ministry of Industry in the early Tang Dynasty and a female politician in the Tang Dynasty.
(1) profile
Huang Wu home decoration
Wu Zetian, formerly known as Wu Zhao, was renamed Wu Zhao after she proclaimed herself emperor. His ancestral home was Wenshui (now Wenshui County, Shanxi Province) in the early Tang Dynasty. She was born in the first month of the seventh year of Wude, Tang Gaozu (624) and died in November of the first year of Emperor Zhongzong Shenlong (705). The biological mother is Wu Shihuo's second wife, the daughter of Yang Da, a scholar-bureaucrat in Longyou, the prime minister of Sui Dynasty and a native of Suining.
Experience of entering the palace
In the 11th year of Zhenguan (637), 14-year-old Wu Zetian was chosen as a "gifted scholar" in the palace because of her handsome appearance. After entering the palace, Wu Zetian acted with skill and understanding, and with a delicate appearance, she was quite loved by Emperor Taizong, so she was given the name of "Mei Niang". After a long time, Emperor Taizong found that she was still very knowledgeable and understood etiquette, so he transferred her from the ranks of changing clothes to the imperial study to serve Mo Wen. This change made Wu Zetian come into contact with the royal official documents, learned about some court events, read many books and regulations that are difficult to see at ordinary times, broadened her horizons, and made her more and more familiar with officialdom politics and politics.
In 654 ad, that is, on October 13, 2005, the queen king was officially deposed and changed to. Six days later, Wu Zetian was appointed as the queen. Wu Zetian did not spare the Queen and Xiao Shufei. She beat each of them with a hundred sticks, then cruelly cut off their feet, soaked them in wine jars and tortured them to death.
Pacify Xu Jingye
Wu Zetian's preparation to be queen in the future was seen through by some ministers and met with fierce opposition from them. In September 684, Xu Jingye, who was expelled from the capital by Wu Zetian, began to rebel. Wu Zetian quickly mobilized 300,000 soldiers and horses to fight and let Li Xiaoyi lead the troops to counter the rebellion. The rebellion in Xu Jingye was put down in only 40 days.
Realize the queen's dream
On the Double Ninth Festival in 690 AD, that is, on September 9, Wu Zetian, who was nearly ancient and rare, changed her name to "Tianci" and formally established the Zhou Dynasty, calling herself "the Holy Spirit Emperor". At the same time, Emperor Li Dan of Zong Rui was reduced to a prince, and Crown Prince Li Xian was also reduced to a great-grandson. Wu Zetian respected the Emperor Wen, respected his father as Emperor Xiao Ming and Emperor Gao, and raised my nephew Wu and others.
take in/attract all talents available
After Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, she paid more attention to the selection and use of talents. She believes that "the breadth of the nine domains, whether one person is strengthened or not, must have talents, and * * * becomes a wing." Anything that can "secure the country" and "define the frontier" will be used according to her family background and qualifications.
Perfecting the Imperial Examination Wu Zetian developed and perfected the imperial examination system since the Sui Dynasty, letting go of recruiting talents and scholars, allowing self-help to serve as officials and test officials, and setting up foreign officials. In addition, she also initiated the system of martial arts in the palace examination, which created favorable conditions for more and wider talent discovery and recruitment.
Attach great importance to agriculture
Wu Zetian said: "The foundation of the founding of the country must lie in agriculture", "Agriculture leads to cultivation, cultivation leads to more millet, and more millet leads to wealth". She stipulates that local officials who can "reclaim land and have surplus grain at home" can be promoted; "The government is too harsh and the household registration is shifting." "Those that are light will be degraded and even replaced at inappropriate times."
Fight against foreign invasion
Wu Zetian resolutely resisted and countered the invasion and harassment of Tubo nobles. After two years of longevity (692), she sent Wang Xiaojie, a general, to defeat Tubo, recover the four towns of Anxi, and restore Anxi's rule over Qiuci. Later, the northern court was established in Tingzhou to consolidate the northwest frontier defense and restore the once-interrupted "Silk Road" to Central Asia.
consolidate national defence
Wu Zetian insisted on the frontier army's policy of reclaiming land. During the fiscal year, the governor of Lou Deyi, Fengzhou, said, "There are millions of plows and grains, and no soldier is spared." In the first year of Dazu (70 1), Guo was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou, and insisted on farming the fields for five years, "rations can last for decades." Wu's large-scale long-term reclamation has a positive effect on developing frontier areas, reducing people's traffic burden and consolidating border defense.
Zhang Jian's change restored the Tang Dynasty.
At the end of 704 AD, Wu Zetian was ill in bed and didn't summon the minister for several months. Only the Zhang brothers serve the left and right, leading the state affairs and distracting the ministers. After careful planning, Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi launched a mutiny in the first month of 705, killing the Zhang brothers (Toy Boy of Wu Zetian), forcing Wu Zetian, who was ill in bed, to abdicate and be restored by Zhongzong to rebuild the Tang Dynasty.
(2) Comments by famous artists
(Yuan) Yang Weizhen: Zhong Liang mows the grass like straw, and the baby tiger and eagle are in full bloom. However, Tang Chen didn't have Du Bo. He was only afraid of the sixth domestic cat. ("Wuhou D")
(Qing) Zhao Yi: After a while, the situation changed. I sat on the dresser and made up for Chen Zi. Servants are not as good as concubines, so why should the hero be on men? The forest is full of stones, and the wind and rain are suspicious. Qiao Ling, who is in the same hole, wants to talk about the past. She once wandered around Luoyang Spring. ("Gan Ling")
Soong Ching Ling: Wu Zetian was "an outstanding female politician in feudal times".
Second, the use of materials
Topic 1: Emotion and cognition of things
Material processing:
People are emotional animals, but feelings are not on the scale. They are inclined and focused. Understanding things under the guidance of such non-objective factors is bound to be tendentious. The rule of Empress Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in China, was regarded by some guardians as violating the laws of heaven and humanity during the two thousand years of feudalism in China. However, are these evaluations fair? Obviously not.
During Wu Zetian's reign, he knew people well, promoted people of insight and recommended themselves, opened his mind and attached importance to economic development. Under her rule, the economy of the Tang Dynasty continued to develop, and then a "golden age" appeared. Are these against heaven?
But in front of the ancients, the feudal guardians were emotionally close to the feudal ethics and respected feudal morality, so they denied her; And we stand on the long river of history and understand this matter with rational thinking in order to give a correct evaluation. This is the one-sidedness and inaccuracy of judging things by feeling. (Excerpted from Anhui Excellent Composition of College Entrance Examination in 2003 "Don't Let Emotion Blink Your Eyes")
Topic 2: Believe in yourself.
Material processing:
In my opinion, Wu Zetian is smart and open-minded. She changed from a maid-in-waiting to a queen, did so many earth-shattering events and dominated the country for 46 years, but left a blank sheet of self-evaluation on her tombstone and refused to be praised by others.
"Take responsibility for what happened before death, and how to judge after death?" . "Before death" is the most important, which means a sense of mission and responsibility; As for "judging from behind", that is a matter for future generations. What's good for me? Wu Zetian and Cao Cao are both such historical figures. If they think about how future generations will evaluate themselves when they "make a living will", they may be bound by many scruples, making them afraid to act boldly. This is their greatest sorrow. (Excerpted from the excellent composition "Believe in Yourself" of Chongqing College Entrance Examination in 2004)
Topic 3: Emotion and Reason
Material processing:
Some people say that women are animals who live by feeling. Women can never leave their feelings, and women cherish them more. What about women who can give up their feelings for their careers? My personal answer is: unstoppable. There is a saying that "as long as there is hatred, one woman can defeat ten men." But I think, as long as there is no feelings, a woman can make millions of men bow their heads.
Beauty is a woman's natural luck. In the hands of intelligent women, it is an invincible sword. If a woman wants to get ahead in this man-centered world, she must make full use of this sword. If a woman can be as ruthless and sharp as a sword, but her appearance is beautiful and moving, it is not impossible to win the world.
Wu Zetian is undoubtedly one of the best. She is beautiful, ambitious, scheming and, best of all, heartless. She is the "Nine Swords Alone" among women! Beauty+ambition+resourcefulness+ruthlessness = invincible in the world! In order to sit on the throne, she killed four brothers, a sister, two sons and a niece in tandem. This kind of "fencing" makes any lean man stunned and ashamed. Do you think this woman who gave up her family and didn't talk about love is fierce? (Excerpted from Wu Zetian and the Nightingale)
Theme 4: Tolerance
Material processing:
There is a short story about Wu Zetian and Luo in Volume One of Tang Yulin. When Robin just came of age, he happened to meet Xu Jingye's rebellion in Xuzhou, so he made the famous "Please Wu Zhao" and scolded Wu Zetian, who was defeated and killed. Wu Zetian saw that "a moth's eyebrows refused to tolerate people, and being sycophantic could confuse the Lord" (meaning that Wu Zetian seduced the emperor with rhetoric), and laughed it off until she read "A handful of dirt is dry to the end, and six feet are alone?" "Biography" means that Wu Zetian usurped the throne shortly after the death of Emperor Gaozong. Where is the prince? ), she was very unhappy and complained to the left and right: "The Prime Minister lost this person!" Why didn't the Prime Minister notice such talents! )
After the death of King Robin, Wu Zetian asked someone to look up his works and found ten volumes, which were "widely circulated in the world".
When Wang Luobin was a counselor in prison, he wrote a song "Political Prisoners Listen to Cicada" and said, "Who knows that he is still singing? Who will listen to me? ? "After his death, it never occurred to him that it was his number one enemy who expressed his" mind "! Wu Zetian's generosity illustrates this point! (Excerpted from "Sharpen")
Topic 5: Wordless Tablet
Material processing:
Tombstone is a unique cultural treasure house in China. History and archaeology should study it and make use of it: tombstones are also of inestimable value in literature and calligraphy. It has been a practice since ancient times to erect a monument: however, Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty erected a wordless monument for herself, which is still beside the tomb of Wu Zetian in Ganling.
In fact, a tablet without words is not without words. Look carefully, there are many words engraved on it, which were added by people since Song and Jin Dynasties because of the regret of "no words". Wu Zetian set up a biographical monument for Tang Gaozong. Why doesn't she write a biography of herself?
Success or failure is empty, and many things in ancient and modern times are just laughed off. (Excerpted from the Mystery of Wu Zetian's Wordless Monument)
Theme 6: Evaluation
Material processing:
Empress Wu Zetian is an ancient person in the history of China. So, how to evaluate this extraordinary woman in China's ancient feudal autocratic society? Tyrant? Is that clear? What about the romantic queen? It can be said that different people have different opinions.
Wu Zetian is a self-aware person. It is smart to set up a tablet without words. It is the best way for future generations to comment on merits and demerits. Because Wu Zetian has both positive and negative aspects. During Wu Zetian's reign, she continued the economic development trend since Zhenguan: in dealing with the complicated situation before and after Tang Gaozong's death, she showed extraordinary personal talent: even many feudal orthodox people respected the ability of ministers and personnel. However, Wu Zetian's negativity is also very prominent. In order to consolidate her personal position, she appointed brutal officials, and also killed innocent people, believed in Buddhism and was extravagant and wasteful. Especially in the later period of rule, government politics became increasingly decadent, and a group of new privileged nobles were connived and supported by Wu Zetian. Finally, Wu Zetian was forced to hand over power and return to Tang Zhongzong. She knew that people would have all kinds of comments on her life, and it was difficult to write a good or bad inscription, so she decided to set up a wordless tablet for future generations to evaluate. (Excerpted from Empress Wu Zetian)
Third, the finished product display
Wisdom on the tablet without words
At the end of 705 A.D., a generation of empress Wu Zetian had mixed merits and demerits, mixed honors and disgraces, mixed merits and demerits, and went through her whole life. Everything about her has become an eternal legend in the writings of literati in past dynasties. Various versions of unofficial history, the official history, have emerged in an endless stream, and film and television dramas in different periods have been staged constantly, attracting the attention of various stars, all of which are interpreting her legend, her extraordinary, her historical value, literary charm and artistic life.
How much bitterness and helplessness is it that others can't understand when drowning a girl? How much sadness and pain does destroying children imply that the world can't understand? Photographer, how much disappointment and hatred are there that ordinary people can't understand? How many lonely and lost people can't understand when they spoil Zhang? Listening to politics shows her strategy and courage enough to shame courtiers. When the emperor showed the majesty and tolerance that made men want to stop. Changing the Yuan Dynasty showed her ambition and determination to compete with her ancestors. A word indicates that her heroism and domineering are beyond ordinary people. A tablet without words shows her wisdom and insight that the world can't match.
Since ancient times, people who set up monuments, whether in writing or painting, whether in Zhuang or in harmony, whether in a thousand words or in a few words, whether in praising virtue or saying sin, whether in paying homage to the dead or warning future generations, whether in plain and simple terms or profound and meaningful, can't reach an agreement on one thing and don't stick to a pattern. Build tombs and monuments to tell stories, wash away right and wrong, seek longevity, regardless of rank, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. Who ever thought of setting up a tablet without words? Wu Zetian enjoys the eternal attention and exploration, speculation and curiosity, sacrifice and spurning of future generations in this eternal mystery she gave to future generations.
This huge blank is a reflection of her wisdom. Her life of suffering, extravagance, desolation, grandeur, glory and ups and downs can be described by an inscription and recorded by a stone tablet. Her honor and disgrace, her merits and demerits, her happiness and misfortune can be understood and understood by others?
No matter how hard the stone is, it will weather one day. No matter how large the flat surface is, it also has a certain thickness. No matter how long the inscription is, there are times when the ending words are poor. Some people, who want to be immortal by carving their names on stones, end up rotting before the bodies. Does Wu Zetian have foresight? Sometimes there is nothing to do, sometimes there is nothing to do. Has Wu Zetian understood?
Without words, you can live forever; Without words, you can say a thousand words.
There is not a word worth a thousand words here! There is no word tablet, which reads the last wonderful life of Wu Zetian. For thousands of years, it lasts forever. This is what makes Wu Zetian extraordinary.
