"Handsome man, can you tell us more about this funeral system?"

It was a man who asked this, but after he asked, although the girls next to him were also full of curiosity, they couldn't help but be afraid to stop their male companion, obviously a little scared and didn't want to listen.

"Can you not say it, this is a mausoleum in the first place, and I'm a little scared of such a terrible thing. ”

"That's it, the yin qi here is heavy enough, let's not talk about it. ”

But although these girls said that they were afraid of yin deficiency and something like that, their curious looks clearly indicated that they wanted to continue listening, and after seeing it, Old Man Zheng also helped them with a smile on the side.

"Xiao Zhang, let's talk about it, girls, in fact, this funeral system doesn't sound so terrible, and Xiao Zhang won't say anything that scares you. ”

Zhang Yang saw that the people present seemed to be very curious about this funeral system, so he simply leaned his back against the low wall next to him, got the drone in front of him, and included the small hill behind him into the picture when he was facing him, and then began to speak.

"In fact, when it comes to this funeral, Zhu Yuanzhang is a little more than his son, there are 38 people buried in the filial piety tomb, and the people I am talking about do not include those palace maids or anything, and you must know that these people died unnaturally.

Let's talk about this funeral system, in fact, it is to use living people to bury, is a very cruel system of slave society, the burial of people are buried alive, there are also killed or suicide after burial, the earliest archaeological discovery of the funeral system began in the Shang Dynasty.

Let's not talk about the previous ones, in fact, the funeral system was abolished before the Ming Dynasty, but later these emperors of the Ming Dynasty restored the funeral system.

Everyone remember, the funeral system of the Ming Dynasty is not inherited from the Yuan Dynasty in front of him, first of all, the Yuan Dynasty does not carry this pot, the Yuan Dynasty does not clearly indicate the historical materials of human martyrdom, early in the period of the Mongol Empire, some are not historical records, but recorded Genghis Khan and his grandson, with beautiful women to be martyred, in addition to the Song Dynasty There are also sporadic concubine burial phenomena, such as Song Xiaozong forced Song Gaozong's concubines to be martyred for him and so on.

In fact, when it comes to this funeral system, the key is not actually the Yuan Dynasty, but Cheng Zhu Lixue, due to the continuous development of science in the Song and Yuan dynasties, their main position is becoming more and more established, the atmosphere of widows and festivals has been repeatedly rising, and the people are proud of it, the officials of the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty have encouraged and commended, and the society and the officials have vigorously promoted the concept of chastity, which has also been greatly affected by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang restored the funeral system was not because he was really uneducated, and he had to use this bloody thing to show his imperial power, on the contrary, it was precisely because he had read a lot of books, and the lessons of the previous generation of Nuwa were actually afraid of the harem maid's seizure of power, so he took it to heart, so he strictly controlled the behavior of the concubine, he resumed the martyrdom of the palace people, and also prevented the behavior of the harem from interfering in politics.

Mongolia regards women as trophies, and the disagreement over private property also affects Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang himself is very dictatorial and authoritarian, and naturally treats women as his own personal belongings. ”

Speaking of which, people who didn't know much about this period of history, through a flamboyant telling, began to condemn Zhu Yuanzhang in their hearts, life is very precious in the concept of modern people, and these emperors of the Ming Dynasty took human life seriously, and then directly angered many people.

At this time, there was already a lot of scolding in the live broadcast room, especially those female fans, when they heard Zhang Yang say that the people of the old Zhu family regarded women as finances, not a life, the scolding was even more powerful, although everyone knew that the status of women in the feudal society in ancient times was very low, but it was one thing to know, and another thing to hear.

"I don't whitewash the people of the old Zhu family, in fact, this is an inevitable phenomenon of historical development, the contributions made by these emperors to the history and territorial integrity of our country are also visible to everyone, I can only say that people have a good side and a bad side, there is no natural saint and no perfect person, even if you blow too much in history, it is the same to say it.

However, this funeral system has not existed since the 6th and 8th emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Yingzong, Zhu Qizhen, reigned twice from 1435 to 1449 and from 1457 to 1464.

Speaking of Ming Yingzong's abolition of the funeral system, I have to say that Zhu Youstew is a person, he is a master of opera in the Ming Dynasty, also known as the old man of Jinyi, Quanyang Taoist, old madman, Quanyangzi, Quanyang old man, Hui'an Fengyang, Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson, wrote thirty-one miscellaneous plays, collectively known as "Chengzhai Lefu", because he lives in a house surrounded by women, and is quite familiar with prostitutes and musicians.

The reason why Ming Yingzong abolished the funeral system is said to be because he listened to his last words, because Zhu Youstew had no children when he died, so he expressed to Yingzong before his death that he did not need to be buried after his death.

Therefore, since the beginning of Yingzong, the Ming Dynasty has not been martyred by people. ”

Whatever the reason or purpose, the contribution of Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong to abolishing the funeral system is indelible.

Zhang Yang's explanation of the funeral system here, listening to the more and more tourists around him, was like listening to a story, especially after he just finished saying this, the girls who were still scared before actually offered to let him say more.

"Handsome guy, why don't you tell me what methods there are for the funeral system. ”

"Well, this has piqued our curiosity, but we can't stop here. ”

Zhang Yang and those people in the live broadcast room heard the words of these two girls suddenly, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous, this is afraid that it is you, and it is you who want to hear it.

However, Zhang Yang couldn't help but ask with certainty.

"Are you sure you want to listen? It doesn't sound that scary, but you're really not afraid?"

The girls present shook their heads in unison, saw this scene Zhang Yang nodded, and then glanced at He Xiaoman beside her, and found that she didn't show any fear, but listened to it with relish, and even nodded and showed a sweet smile when Zhang Yang looked at her.

"Okay, let's talk about this burial, the burial of the living originated in the Yin Shang period, when people believed that the soul was still there after death, and they could continue to live in another world, those emperors and generals who had the power of life and death, enjoyed all the glory and wealth when they were alive, and after they died, they still hoped to be the king and hegemon in the other world and served by others, so their funerals were in accordance with ' Treat death as life's idea, and bring the beauties, slaves, and troops who enjoyed life to their own mausoleums, some of these living people were killed and put in the mausoleum, and some were directly buried alive.

The funeral system was extended to the Qin and Han dynasties and slowly decreased, and the institutional human martyrdom was officially abolished in the Han Dynasty, but there were still sporadic burials of living people who were named 'voluntary', and such voluntary burials continued to exist until the Tang and Song dynasties.

It's just that history has developed to the time of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, especially since Zhu Yuanzhang, the resurrection of the funeral system, let's talk about how the buried concubines died, anyway, there are several theories, except for those who committed suicide voluntarily, there are two kinds.

One is to hang himself, saying that he will gather those eligible concubines in a house, and then each person will have a Taishi chair and a seven-foot white silk hanging above, and those who are bold will go up directly to their necks and die directly, and those who are timid are forcibly escorted up.

Another theory is that they died by injecting mercury into the body, or the same, gathering these concubines, and then each person with a cup of medicinal tea to dizz, and then cutting a piece of their heads, and someone next to them immediately took a copper spoon and poured mercury into it from the place where it was cut, poured a certain amount of mercury into it, and then sewed the gap with a needle and thread.

However, most people are still more inclined to believe in the first method of hanging themselves, after all, if mercury is really poured in, it should not be a big problem to preserve the face for hundreds of years in a fully enclosed tomb, but most of the exhumations are now white bones. ”
