Huan Wen, a powerful minister in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once said a famous saying? If a gentleman can't become an immortal, he will fight for it all his life. . Although Huan Wen failed to achieve these two points, Huang Chao achieved them dramatically. There are different opinions on Huang Chao in history. Later generations' opinions on Huang Chao are like a parabola, from low to high, and then from high to low. ?
What was the official evaluation of Huang Chao in ancient history? Nest thief? 、? Giant mouth? 、? Bandits? 、? What kind of person are you? Expressed in derogatory terms. But among the people, the caliber is not uniform, just like the old people in Shi Naian? If he chases Ling Yunzhi, dare he laugh at Huang Chao's husband? represent
So what kind of person is Huang Chao? Why are descendants so controversial about him? That depends on what he has done.
As the top of the parabola, Huang Chao led the rebels to break the dead dark balance and overthrew the rule of the late Tang Dynasty. It broke the shackles that stifled national vitality and opened the first door for the arrival of a new era. Moreover, it also eliminated the sufferings of the gentry who had suffered double whammy for hundreds of years and greatly reduced the resistance to the implementation of the imperial examination system. You know, at that time, the implementation of the imperial examination system was strongly resisted by the nobles, because the recommendation system in front of the imperial examination system could ensure that the power was always in the hands of the nobles. The implementation of the imperial examination system has undoubtedly opened a road for the lower class to the upper class, and poor students can also fight for benefits from the nobles and distribute them to the civilians. At the same time, it also greatly slowed down the corruption rate of the dynasty. In this regard, Huang Chao has undoubtedly made great contributions.
As the lowest point of parabola, Chao Huang also did some extremely cruel things. When they first attacked Chang 'an, they ordered soldiers to slaughter the people in the city, leaving no chickens or dogs, which led to a river of blood in Chang 'an. When he invaded Chang 'an for the second time, he ordered the soldiers to find their own food, although there was no decapitation order. At that time of war, people had no food at all, so soldiers had to eat people from the city and satisfy their hunger with human flesh. So there was a two-part allegorical saying in Chang 'an that Huang Chao was destined to kill millions of enemies. Moreover, it is very important that most of the atrocities committed by Huang Chao's army were madness when his defeat was decided. In the golden age of his career, Qiu Hao did not commit crimes. This also shows that Huang Chao is a mentally unstable leader. In the end, Huang Chao was killed by his nephew who cut off his head, which aggravated his negative image.
How many people in the world can be with me? ? Dare to rightfully ask this question, also proved that Huang Chao is not an ordinary person after all.
