The five most domineering sentences in Chinese history are as follows:
1. Anyone who openly offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is.
This sentence comes from the letter written by the famous Western Han Dynasty general Chen Tang to Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty. It was said after repelling the Zhizhi Chanyu of the Northern Xiongnu. The full sentence is: ''It is appropriate to hang the head of the barbarians on the street. Between the residences, to show thousands of miles. Those who openly offend the powerful Han will be punished no matter how far away they are!'' This reflects the domineering and self-confidence of China during the period of the powerful Han. Anyone who dares to offend the powerful Han Empire will be killed no matter how far away they are. This sounds exciting to this day.
2. Everything the sun and moon shine upon is Han territory, and wherever rivers reach it, all Han subjects are there.
This sentence has no original words in history. It is a blend of two sentences said by later generations based on the ancients. One of the sentences comes from Ban Biao's memorial to Liu Xiu in the "Book of the Later Han": "The Han Dynasty holds the prestige and leads all the countries. The sun and the moon shine on them, and they are all ministers and concubines." The other sentence comes from the inscription of Xuanding Hu in the Han Dynasty: "Every day Wherever the moon shines and where the rivers reach, they are all Han soil." These two sentences both reflect the power and domineering power of the Han Empire.
3. Officials should be treated like Jinwu, and wives should be treated like Yin Lihua.
This sentence is a famous saying about life ideals once said by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. When Liu Xiu was young, he was just a commoner from a declining royal family. When he was studying in Chang'an, he saw the magnanimity of Zhi Jinwu walking on the street. At the same time, he thought of the beautiful Yin Lihua, whom he had met once before, and said: ' The sentiments and yearnings of life are that "an official should be like Jin Wu, and a wife should be like Yin Lihua".
4. The six barbarians inside and outside who dare to use the military staff will be killed.
This sentence was said by Ran Min, the King of Wu Dao, and is the content of the first of his three "Killing Hu Orders". It means that within China, all non-Han people who dare to use weapons Beheading can be said to be extremely domineering. What's even more rare is that Ran Min said this at a time when the Han people were weak, and it can be said that it played a great role in boosting the confidence of the Han people.
5. Do princes, generals, and generals have a certain kind of relationship?
"Princes, generals and ministers should rather have their kind" is a sentence said by Chen Sheng when he resisted the violent Qin Dynasty. It means: Those who call themselves princes and worship generals are born with a good life and a noble seed. According to the situation at that time, the meaning of this sentence is: Are those who call themselves princes and worship generals nobler than us? This sentence later became a must-have sentence when the peasants rebelled, and it is the best expression of resistance. A spiritual word.
