Why did Zeng Guofan, who has always been kind, refuse Hong Xiuquan?

1864, 19 In July, Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was attacked by the Xiang army. The first task of a large number of troops rushing into the city is to catch the leader, so the biggest purpose is the Heavenly Palace. However, the heavenly king Hong Xiuquan died more than a month ago. Zeng Guofan learned from a concubine of Huang, a native of Daozhou, Hunan Province, that Hong Xiuquan was buried at the foot of the "Imperial Palace", so he led the leader of the Xiang army to leave the burial ground and dug him up. According to Zeng Guofan's own records, "the beard is white, the head is bald, and there is another piece of meat left in the left arm."

When he proved to be the real king of Hong Xiuquan, Zeng Guofan looked at this opponent who had fought side by side with himself for more than ten years and enjoyed the prosperity of the world. His teeth creaked and he ordered, "Kill the body and burn it with fierce fire?" First, Hong Xiuquan's body was chopped down and then burned with fire. He ordered people to mix meat paste and ashes with explosives and shoot them with big guns. In this way, it turned to ashes and soared into the sky. His meaning is very clear: to make Hong Xiuquan lose his soul and return to the ghost, that's why he has such a cruel move of "burning the body and burying the ashes".

Why did Zeng Guofan, who has always shown virtue, is full of confusion and pretends to be a writer, make a move to defeat the bones and raise the ashes? What kind of punishment is this for Hong Xiuman?

In modern China, filial piety has been talked about for thousands of years. The so-called "filial piety comes first", "the deceased is the biggest" and "the grave is safe", and the "grave digger" is a thief. This is a despicable move; And underground, flagrantly humiliated, lest the world know anger. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in order to avenge his father and brother, Wu Zixu led troops to the northern part of Chu, dug up the body of King Chu Ping, and whipped 300 lashes with nine bronze whips, which was known as "whipping the corpse" in history. Boast of your kindness and virtue, and preach that "revenge is never too late for a gentleman;" When things die, they live; When things die, they exist. " However, they expose and humiliate celebrities, heroes and sinners in history books, and destroy their bodies to the extreme, which means that it is rare in the world and people and ghosts are angry together.

After death, people should try to dispose of the body and bury it peacefully. This is the so-called natural death, that is, those prisoners whose heads have been beheaded for crimes that cannot be punished, and their families should also ask someone to give them a good back, so that their souls can not be separated, and the afterlife will be better and better reincarnated, so as not to become pigs, dogs and animals.

Zhuangzi once lamented the demise of mankind: life between heaven and earth would come to an abrupt end if there was no time and desire. Help but flew into a rage, no accident; Seemingly _ natural, no problem. Birth, death. The sorrow of biology, the sorrow of mankind. Death is the beginning of life. Therefore, China people regard death as an outing, and going home has become their master's broad-minded view of life and death. The poem in the ancient poem "Born between heaven and earth, suddenly like a passer-by" shows that a good end must be rewarded.

In the eyes of China people, after a person dies, the body is buried, and it first becomes a soul, which is often called a ghost. At this stage, he must go home. Therefore, there are customs and habits to bring the soul of ancestors home as a guest everywhere, which will enable him to reincarnate quickly and lead to a better afterlife. On the other hand, if there are too many sins before death and the body is punished, it may be like the scene of Hong Xiuquan's ashes, leading to lonely souls and wild ghosts, feeling lonely and unbalanced, and being burned to death in the fire of jealousy. Zhong Kui, who is aggressive and makes peace with evil spirits, will punish those wild ghosts who are disobedient and want to rebel, and the final result is to enter eighteen layers of hell, which will lead to serious consequences.

So Zeng Guofan looked at Hong Xiuquan like this, on the one hand, to vent his anger for more than ten years, and more importantly, to make this opponent become a beast of cattle and horses in the next life, and never turn over.

Tired of watching it, send a joke to make you happy and relaxed.
