When I wrote about Li Yu yesterday, I said that he has double eyes, which is different from ordinary people. What is double pupil? Some people say that there are two pupils in the eye; others say that there are two pupils in one pupil, that is, there are two black spots in one black eyeball, that is, "one eye with two pupils"; some people say that this is a disease, and so on , to name a few. In short, the ancients believed that double pupils were an extraordinary sign, and those with double pupils were also recorded in history.
Cangjie
Huangdi’s historian, he invented the earliest writing. It is said that he had "double pupils and four eyes". The Weishu "Spring and Autumn Yuan Mingbao" said that Cangjie had "an extravagant appearance, four eyes with aura, he was really wise and virtuous, and he was born with the ability to write." When later generations mentioned Cangjie, most of them believed that his creation of characters was truly a move that shocked the world and made ghosts and gods weep.
Shun
Shun, also known as Yu Shun and Emperor Shun, was the leader of the tribal alliance in ancient times and one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. "Historical Records" records: The drummer's surname was Gui, and his wife was named Huodeng. He was inspired by the sight of a big rainbow, and Shun was born in Yao Xu. His surname was Yao, and he had heavy eyes and pupils, so he was named Chonghua. The birth of a saint is always legendary. Shun's father is blind, and his mother's name is Huodeng. She sensed the rainbow and gave birth to Shun, which is really mysterious. Because he was born with double pupils, he was named Chonghua. There are legends about Shun, including his filial piety to his parents, which moved the world, and stories about his marriage to Emperor Yao's two daughters, Ehuang and Nvying, and so on.
Chong'er, Duke Wen of Jin
Chong'er was the son of Duke Xian of Jin. He was forced to live in exile for nineteen years because of the Liji Rebellion, and later ascended to the throne of the king. According to historical records, he was born with "parallel ribs" (referring to the fact that his ribs were made into one piece), so he passed through the state of Cao on his way to escape. His curiosity drove Duke Cao to peek at him bathing, which angered Chong'er, and he attacked the state of Cao after returning home. According to folklore, Chong'er was born with double pupils, but there is no relevant record in history.
Xiang Yu
Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu who was "powerful and powerful", also had double pupils. "Historical Records. The Chronicles of Xiang Yu" said: "I heard Zhou Sheng said, 'Shun's eyes covered with heavy pupils', and I also heard that Xiang Yu also had heavy pupils. How could Yu be of Miao origin?" What Sima Qian meant was: I heard a Confucian scholar named Zhou It was said that Emperor Shun was born with double pupils, and now I heard that Xiang Yu also had double pupils. Could it be that he was a descendant of Shun? Because of the special nature of the eyes, when fighting with someone, the moment he stares at them, he will frighten the other person. These eyes become a murderous weapon. A later poem said, "My father was curious about his plans, but he was misled by his heavy eyes." This tells the story of Xiang Yu's tragic ending. Even with his father Fan Zeng's numerous ingenuity, the overlord of Western Chu could not escape the fate of defeat and committed suicide in the Wujiang River. side.
Wang Mang
"Lunheng" records that "Yu Shun had double pupils, and Wang Mang also had double pupils." This shows that Wang Mang was also a special person. He established a new dynasty in the Han Dynasty at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and sat on the throne of the emperor for 16 years. He was finally killed in the rebellion. The New Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty in history. After Wang Mang came to the throne, he implemented a series of innovative policies that were later called "Wang Mang's Reform". His reforms did not fundamentally solve the social problems since the end of the Western Han Dynasty. In addition, his aggressive attacks and massive construction projects brought endless disasters to the people. In the end, the government forced the people to rebel, and the people rose up. Amid the wave of peasant uprisings, the new dynasty also Then perish.
Lü Guang
Lü Guang was the founder of Houliang during the Wei, Jin and Sixteen Kingdoms periods. His ancestors were the clansmen of Lü Fei, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang and his queen. The Lü clan later fled to Gansu. Tianshui, later generations settled here. "Book of Jin" records that Lu Guang was "eight feet four inches long, with heavy pupils and a flesh mark on his left elbow." Lu Guang did not like reading when he was a child, and only loved riding eagles and horse racing, which was popular among warriors. When he grew up, he was tall and burly, with heavy pupils in his eyes, a mark on his left elbow, a dignified and steady personality, and an intangible expression of joy and anger. At that time, some people thought that he was not an ordinary person. In many foreign battles, his reputation was so powerful in the Western Regions that he finally proclaimed himself emperor.
Shen Yue
Shen Yue was a famous historian and writer in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. He was the author of "Book of Song" and a representative writer of "Yongming style" poetry. "Book of Liang. Biography of Shen Yue" records that "Yue has a double pupil in his left eye, a purple ambition on his waist, and is extremely intelligent." According to historical records, Shen Yue's left eye has a double pupil, which is unusual. Although he did not claim the title of emperor King, but his literary and historical achievements are highly praised by later generations, and he is a knowledgeable literary leader.
Yu Juluo
Yu Juluo was a famous general in the Sui Dynasty. He followed Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty to pacify the Chen Dynasty and had outstanding military exploits. "Book of the Sui Dynasty" records that "Juluo looks strange and has double pupils in his eyes, which is taboo for emperors." Because his appearance is different from ordinary people and his eyes have double pupils, the ancients believed that this was the appearance of an emperor, which led to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. If he was jealous, he would find an excuse to kill him.
Zhu Youzi
Zhu Youzi was the son of Zhu Wen, Taizu of the Later Liang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. He was once named King of Kang. The "New History of the Five Dynasties" records that "King Youzi of Kang had a heavy eye and pupils, and tasted He is arrogant and thinks he should be the emperor." Zhu Youzi was arrogant because he was born with double pupils. He believed that he was destined to be the emperor, so he planned to seize the throne. After the death of the concubine of his brother Liang Mo Emperor Zhu Youzhen, he sent assassins to assassinate Zhu Youzhen at night. Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen happened to dream that someone was going to kill him. He suddenly woke up and heard the sound of the sword. He knew something was wrong and jumped out of bed. He jumped up, drew his sword, found the assassin hiding in the dormitory, and killed him with his own hands. Zhu Youzi was also killed by Emperor Liang Mo because his attempt to become emperor failed.
Liu Min
Liu Min is the younger brother of Liu Zhiyuan, the founder of the Later Han Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The "New History of the Five Dynasties" records: "The first name was Chong, he was a man with beautiful beard and beard, and his eyes were pupils." , Liu Chong is the original name of Liu Min. He later established the Northern Han Dynasty (one of the Ten Kingdoms) and was the founding monarch of the Northern Han Dynasty.
Li Yu
Last time I mentioned that the emperor Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty had "one eye with two pupils". He was the sixth son of the emperor Li Jing. In terms of age and seniority, how? It's not his turn to be emperor. Since the first five brothers died prematurely except for the eldest brother Li Hongji, the other four died prematurely, so although he ranks sixth, he is actually equivalent to second. Prince Li Hongji died of a sudden illness when he was less than 30 years old. The important matter of inheriting the throne naturally fell on Li Yu. Li Yu's original name was Li Congjia, with the courtesy name Chongguang. Why was he called Chongguang? It has to do with the fact that his eyes have double pupils. The ancients said, "The sun shines brightly into the day, and the moon shines brightly into the night." This means that the light of the sun and moon illuminates the heaven and earth with brilliant brilliance. Because of his double pupils, he was renamed Yu, which means he shines over the world and is outstanding. Although he was an emperor, his interest was in calligraphy, poetry and other literary arts. In troubled times, he would inevitably die tragically.
Ming Yuzhen
Ming Yuzhen was a native of Suizhou, Hubei. She was the leader of the peasant uprising army in the late Yuan Dynasty and established the Daxia Kingdom in Chongqing. "The Story of Heroes at the Beginning of the Kingdom" records that he "had a strange appearance, was eight feet long, and had double pupils." Ming Yuzhen died of illness after more than six years of reign, and his son Mingsheng succeeded him. Later, the Great Xia Kingdom was ruled by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. destroy.
The above are the characters with double pupils and strange eyes recorded in history. Of course, there are also such characters in ancient novels, so I won’t list them all here.
