A comeback? If you are alive, you are not afraid of King Zhao Yin; if you have a tattoo on your face, you are not afraid of King Yama in death.

I believe that most people born in the 1980s and 1990s have watched the famous Hong Kong gangster series "Young and Dangerous", regardless of whether the impact is good or bad. However, almost all the characters in the movie, from the protagonist to the villain, from the boss to the younger brother, have tattoos such as dragons and tigers, which represent their status in the world.

Speaking of tattoos, tattoos first appeared in history as a form of punishment - tattooing. For example, during the Chu-Han War, Wang Yingbu of Huainan committed a crime when he was young and was sentenced to tattooing, so he was also called tattoo.

In the Five Dynasties and Song Dynasties, tattoos mostly appeared on sergeants and people in the world. For example, Guo Wei, Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, had a flying bird tattooed on his neck, which people at the time called Guo Que'er. He also used this to successfully confuse his opponent Liu Chong, saying to the envoy, "Have there been any emperors since ancient times? Fortunately, you don't doubt me."

Di Qing, a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty, joined the army at a young age and had tattoos on his face. , after becoming a general and becoming a prime minister, he also used this to inspire men all over the world. Heroes do not care about their origins. Many Liangshan heroes in "Water Margin" also had tattoos, which was a popular trend among the people at that time, such as the flower monk Lu Zhishen, the nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin, and the prodigal Yan Qing, whose embroidery even made the famous prostitute Li Shishi Falling for it.

However, nowadays, tattoos are more of a rebellious expression for young people who think they are cool and cool, and are not among the mainstream aesthetics. If someone has a tattoo of the so-called "comeback" and there are typos, it can only be said to be laughable.

Looking back at history, there are many related anecdotes recorded in various ancient books. Now I will excerpt one or two to share.

More ancient and modern anecdotes, all in "Mountains and Seas"!

"Youyang Zazu·Volume 8·Tattoo": The gangsters on the streets of Chang'an City all like to be unconventional, losing their hair and getting tattoos all over their bodies. The tattoos come in a variety of designs.

Relying on their good relationship with the defenders in Chang'an City, they robbed and acted wantonly on the streets, and even gathered in groups in taverns and fought with sheep blades.

Later, after Jingzhao Yin Xue Yuanshang took office, he hated this group of people deeply and ordered the village chief to capture them quietly. About thirty people were arrested ~ the ancient version of "sweeping crime and eradicating evil" , it is indeed very satisfying.

After catching these people, Xue Yuanshang, after some interrogation, beat them all to death with wooden sticks and put them in the market as a warning to everyone. After this incident came out, all the people who had tattoos on their bodies were so frightened that they burned them with mugwort.

At that time, there was a very brave man named Zhang Qian in Daningfang. On his arms were tattooed the two sentences "I am not afraid of Jing Zhaoyin in life, and I am not afraid of King Yama in death". There was also a man named Wang Linu who spent 5,000 yuan to have people tattoo his chest and abdomen with green mountains, courtyards and terraces, flowers, plants, birds and beasts, all lifelike, like paintings. In the end, he was jailed by Jing Zhaoyin for violating the law. Xue Yuan was rewarded with a stick and killed.

He sighed and said: The so-called "Don't be afraid of Beijing Zhao Yin in life, and don't be afraid of King Yama in death" is not just a tattoo on the body to say it. This can only be done by obeying the law and having a clear conscience.

"Youyang Zazu·Volume 8·Tattoo": Li Yijian, who served in Chengdu in the late Yuanhe period of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, there was a gangster in the Chengdu city market named Zhao Gao (the name, haha, refers to a deer as a horse). He liked to cause trouble, fight with others, and was often arrested and imprisoned. He was a local tyrant.

Since Zhao Gao had the image of King Bishamon tattooed on his back, no one in the previous government dared to hit him for fear of offending the statue of the King. Zhao Gao relied on this to do whatever he wanted, and he Going to jail is child's play.

After his cronies reported this matter to Li Yijian, Li Yijian was furious and personally ordered people to arrest Zhao Gao in the courtroom, and then used a newly made hardwood stick, three inches thick, to beat him severely. Zhao Gao was beaten so hard that the statue of the King of Heaven on his back was almost wiped off.

However, what I didn’t expect was that more than ten days later, Zhao Gao actually ran to the street again, took off his shirt and exposed his back, knocked on the door door to door, begging for merit money to repair the statue of the King of Heaven ~ Haha , is really a rogue in the market, a very vivid image.

Sigh: As I said before, tattoos are not talismans. Only by abiding by the law can we have a beginning and an end.
