Examples of typos

This is one of the most influential typo cases in the history of China. First, the word has a great influence. Second, it was written by the emperor. Although it was misspelled, there was no reasonable explanation.

This plaque is hung above the middle gate of the meridian gate in the main hall of the Summer Resort. The word "Shun" on the right side of the gilded "Summer Resort" has a horizontal line at the bottom, but this is the imperial pen of Emperor Kangxi. He dared to make mistakes, so he finally dropped it.

It is said that the later emperor Qianlong saw the problem, so he wrote a gold-plated plaque of "Summer Resort" with no typos in Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian, Tibetan and Uygur, and hung it on the inner noon gate. The following case is also the masterpiece of Emperor Kangxi. The typo appeared in Hangzhou West Lake. The typo here is the word "fish", but this typo has a saying.

"Watching fish in Huagang" is one of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. The tablet of "Huagang Watching Fish" is the imperial pen of Kangxi. The four points under the traditional word "fish" on the tablet have become three points, a little less. What's going on here?

It is understandable to say that Master Kangxi of the Summer Resort can't write, but it really doesn't make sense that this "fish" can't write.

It turns out that there is a legend here that Kangxi is not unable to write this word, but "deliberately wrote it wrong." It turns out that Kangxi believed in Buddhism and had the virtue of good life. When he wrote the inscription, he thought there were four points under the word "fish", because in the old society, the four points represented "fire" and the fish was roasted under the fire. Can it still be alive?

This is killing, so I deliberately wrote less-three points are "water", so that fish can swim in the lake and live smartly.

Later, when Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he wrote a poem: "There are flowers in the harbor at the foot of Huajiashan, and there are fish and flowers; The most beautiful thing is spring scenery, and the bottom must be autumn water to realize the south China ",which is engraved on the tablet and becomes a much-told story. Two typos can also be found on the Ming Tombs of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor of Nanjing: on the Ming Tombs' protection monument, "Ming Tombs" was written as "Hengxiaoling"; Entering the Ming building, there are seven words "The Tomb of Ming Taizu in this Mountain" on the stone wall just south of the top of the mausoleum, and the word "Ming" is also written as "Bi". The former was a "deliberate mistake" by the famous calligrapher Wu Zhongqi, while the latter was written by people in the early years of the Republic of China. As for the name of this person, there is no way to look it up. It is estimated that he is also proficient in calligraphy.

The typo "Fu" has a long history, and the word "Ming" was written by a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In Pingshan Hall in daming temple, Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, the inscription of Ma Fuxiang, one of the famous "Sanma" in Ningxia in the early years of the Republic of China, is engraved on the plaque on the right side of the main hall. The plaque on the left 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, an official in Yangzhou.

There are two typos in the word "romance": less "flow" and more "present".

What's going on here?

It is said that it was handed down because of Ouyang Xiu. It goes without saying that Liu Kunyi deliberately omitted a little "Liu" and added a word "zai" in "The Romantic Prodigal Son". He hopes to be less romantic, more practical and philosophical, and points out Ouyang Xiu's improper behavior in those years. This kind of word is just right, so no one has said three questions and four questions so far, which is similar to the word "Insect II" (meaning "boundless moonlight wind") written by Emperor Qianlong on the stone tablet of West Lake in Hangzhou. 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 word "Fu Sheng" in gold on a blue background, with a pair of couplets on each side.

This pair of couplets reads: "The country is peaceful, the people are safe, the wealth is glorious, and the moral saints are mentioned in the same breath." The word "rich" in the couplet is a little less than the above, 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.

How can the most cultured place make such a joke? In fact, this is not a joke, but one of the most cultured typos.

The beauty of the mistake lies in its moral: "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.

There are also legends about the origin of these two typos of Confucius.

According to legend, on the wedding day of Confucius' 42nd grandson Kong Guangsi, a fairy happened to pass by and met the word "Fu" written on the screen in front of the mansion. The immortal erased the word "rich" a little, and the Confucius family blamed it. The fairy revealed a mystery, saying that Confucius' family should not be too rich, but should "walk a little". It is said that after this, Confucius wrote "rich" without any points.

What is a "chapter" that reaches the sky?

It is said that this has something to do with Ji Xiaolan, a great genius. At that time, someone asked Confucius to write a couplet, but the word "Zhang" was not well written, and he was not satisfied after writing it many times.

Ji Xiaolan simply put down the pen to have a rest and soon fell asleep. Seeing an old man scribble on the word "Zhang" he wrote became a broken day. Ji Xiaolan immediately woke up, got inspiration, splashed ink, wrote the head of the "chapter", and the artistic conception came out completely-"the article reached heaven", which was very apt to the door of Confucius. First, the word "tail" at the end should be pronounced "wěi", while the word "tail" of mule and horse tail should actually be pronounced "yǐ"!

Now, from kindergarten children to CCTV hosts, Tail (Bayi) is pronounced as "Wei Ba", but only illiterate old farmers in rural areas are pronouncing "Bayi" correctly!

Secondly, President Mao Zedong's poem "Spring and Snow in the Qinyuan" is famous all over the world, but somehow, in many large-scale cultural performances, famous actors such as Pu Cunxin often recite it affectionately: "Let the past pass, count the romantic figures and look at the present"! What a surprise! Read the word "Huan" as "Huan"!

Here, Huan (hái) means "return, still need, get off", while Huan (huán) means "return to the original place, or return to the original state, such as: ① return home, return home, return to customs, ② repay kindness, return things, and fight back.

Third, to give you the word "give" with a brush, you should read G ě i, here is to let the other party get something or something, such as giving you a mobile phone and giving me the strength to struggle. Don't pronounce jǐ! When used as "written language", it is pronounced as jǐ, for example, to j ǐ y ǐ. Or as a specific word, such as: supply, supply, replenishment, you must pronounce jǐ when giving.
