Speaking of Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua, there is a famous saying that has been passed down through the ages, that is, "An official should be golden couple, and a wife should be Yin Lihua". However, people in later generations often misread the meaning of this famous saying. The reason why it is easy to be misread is that it is easy for future generations to misread this sentence from the context of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, leaving the expression of the context and looking at it alone. In this respect, this famous saying is the same as Cao Cao's sentence "Better die than die". Zhi Jinwu, together with Jiuqing, is the supreme commander of the northern army guarding the capital, especially the imperial city. More generally speaking, it is basically similar to the modern central police commander. However, misreading often occurs here. Looking at this sentence alone, many people in later generations will think that Liu Xiu wants to be the commander of the central police and marry a beauty like Yin Lihua. If we put this famous saying back in the history books, we can understand its true meaning. Liu Xiu's emotion comes from "The History of the Later Han Dynasty, the History of the Later Han Dynasty, Guanglieyin": Guangwushi is a new field, and its sound is beautiful. Later, when I arrived in Chang 'an, I saw that I was riding a very busy car. I sighed and said, "My official should be someone who holds Jin Wu. If I marry, I should get Yin Lihua." . With the context, people can really understand why Liu Xiu made such a sigh! When Han Guangwu was a teenager, he lamented that "an official was regarded as a treasurer" because he saw the treasurer "riding a very prosperous car", not because of the size of his official position. Therefore, discussing the size of the official position of "praising Jin Wu" is not only meaningless to understand this sentence of Liu Xiu, but also completely deviates from the original intention recorded in historical books. Liu Xiu's exclamation became an eternal famous saying in the future, which triggered many * * * sounds of "struggling in troubled times". According to "Biography of Yuan Zhen in the History of the Old Five Dynasties", "I heard Zhang Meiyan, admired herself, and sighed Lihua". Wen was the first lean Zhu Wen in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and Zhang was Zhu Wen's beloved wife Zhang Hui. As the terminator of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Wen, a fierce generation, once saw Zhang Hui, the daughter of the secretariat of the Song and Zhou Dynasties, as beautiful as a flower, and issued a "Lihua sigh". After they got married, Zhang's daughter helped Zhu Wen achieve great things and became a story of five dynasties and ten countries. According to the essay "Remnants" cited in the Examination of Wu Sangui in Qing Dynasty, General Yanling is handsome and good at riding and shooting ... and he likes himself very much; When I meet a beautiful woman, I need to stay for God, but no one is surprised. I often read "Han Ji" until "an official is a golden servant and his wife is a Yin Lihua". I sighed, "I wish so, too, that's enough!" . "General Yanling" refers to Wu Sangui, a great lean man in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Wu Sangui's family is a descendant of Wu in Yanling. At that time, people liked to call him "General in Yanling". When I was young, Wu Sangui was quite romantic and elegant, and paid attention to "beauty", but no one was satisfied. When I was reading history books, I saw the sentence "Be an official as a golden servant and marry a wife as a Yin Lihua", and I couldn't help feeling: "I wish it the same way, that's enough!" . An Zhi is not a servant. The allusion of "An Zhi is not a servant" comes from "Dong Guan Han Ji". In other words, Liu Xiu once said, "How do you know it's not me?" Taiping Magnolia Volume 39 1 Quotes History of the East View in Hanshu: Guangwu Weishi and Deng Chenguan (1), saying that "Liu Xiu should be the son of heaven". Or (2) say "Shi Guogong Liu Xiu should be". Guangwu said, "Knowing goodness is not a servant." ? Jianwu three years, called the old life Xinle. Dawn calmly said to the emperor, "Actually, I did it." The emperor laughed! Note: When Emperor Guangwu was young, he and his brother-in-law Chen Deng visited other people's homes. At that time, everyone saw in divination that "Liu Xiu should be the son of heaven". Someone nearby said: Liu Xiu mentioned in Oracle Bone Inscriptions must be a monk Liu Xiu (at that time, the monk Liu Xingang of the new dynasty was renamed Liu Xiu). But Liu Xiu (later Emperor Guangwu) who was present at the time said, "How do you know that Liu Xiu, who wants to be a son, doesn't mean me?" Everyone laughed as a result! In the third year after Liu Xiu ascended the throne, he talked with Chen Deng about the past. Chen Deng calmly said to Emperor Guangwu: "In fact, it was a servant." Guangwudi laughed after listening! At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, divination was very popular, and Wang Mang took the characters in divination as his theoretical basis. In fact, divination is only a tool used by the feudal ruling class to deceive people all over the world, which is absurd and groundless. At the end of the new dynasty, natural disasters continued and people were confused. Liu Xin, a master of Buddhism in the New Dynasty and a master of classical Chinese classics, was proficient in divination, but changed his name to Liu Xiu, so everyone guessed that the "Liu Xiu" mentioned in the divination book was Liu Xin, a master of Buddhism. Liu Xin was a great scholar at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. He was knowledgeable and respected, and made great contributions to Wang Mang's Han Dynasty. In Liu Xiu's laughter, without exception, he is proud of realizing "knowing that he is not a servant". There is another version of this allusion, which is recorded in the Biography of Chen Deng in the later Han Dynasty: In the last years of Wang Mang, Guangwu and his brother Bosheng had a banquet in the morning and had a banquet with Cai Shaogong. Less public school a lot of divination, said Liu Xiu is the son of heaven. Or, "Is it Master Liu Xiu?" Guangwu Opera said, "How can you know that you are not a servant?" Everyone sitting is laughing! In the third year of Jianwu, Zheng Chen returned to the capital, saying that the old life was a kind of enjoyment. Dawn calmly said to the emperor, "Actually, I did it." The emperor laughed.
