There was a special group of people in the Ming Dynasty who were called "state-owned pig raising" by many netizens. These prisoners are a special group, and they have always existed as an unknown and obscure special group in most time and political fields. In addition, many of us today will understand them as "parasitic" and "decadent" facial images. So this group of Ming dynasty princes really only know how to have children and eat and drink? Of course, officials of the Ming Dynasty were not. In fact, many historical events have to return to the development environment at that time. Many times, if we simply think that some people are stupid and crazy, then there is a high probability that we are not comprehensive enough. "-the wonderful imperial clan system of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial clan policy in Ming Dynasty was established in the early years of Hongwu and perfected in the late years of Yongle, including the political power, economic treatment and religious prohibition of imperial clan. Generally speaking, the management of imperial clan in Ming dynasty was relatively loose during Hongwu period, and more strict after Yongle. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and his ministers analyzed the past history and summed up experience. In the end, they agreed that an important reason for the demise of the Song and Yuan Dynasties was that "the monarch was weak and the minister was strong", and the court needed the support of the imperial clan, so it decided to establish princes based on history. 1370 (the third year of Hongwu) made the crown prince a prince, and established a strict vassal system. The specific content of the fief before the Jingnan War is not the focus of our detailed description today. In fact, there is another consideration for Zhu Yuanzhang's packet. Nanjing (Jinling) was chosen as the capital at that time because the wealth of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was the financial pillar of the whole country. The so-called "wealth comes from the southeast, and Jinling is its meeting." Moreover, there is a palace built by Zhang Shicheng, the prince of Wu, and Zhu Yuanzhang's men are mostly Jianghuai children, unwilling to stay away from their homeland. This raises a thorny issue, with Nanjing as its capital, but the war in the northwest is undecided. In order to transfer troops to troops, there must be a military rear for coordination. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang chose neither the county system nor the feudal system, but the county system in the early Western Han Dynasty, which was the best choice at that time. On the one hand, the division of officials is concentrated in the central government, on the other hand, children are enfeoffed to defend the country. In this way, the capital is located in the southeast financial position, and the children are sealed in the northeast frontier, which has been satisfactorily solved economically, militarily and permanently safeguarding sovereignty. Zhu Yuanzhang, who miscalculated, thought too well and it was useless. He just responded by saying "Forget it". Just after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Judy, the prince of Yan, launched the battle of Jingnan. Changed all the calculations before Zhu Yuanzhang. The mental outlook of the Ming Dynasty vassal states can be regarded as a watershed, and the former vassal states all had considerable power in their fiefs. After Judy seized power and ascended the throne, in view of the loss of the previous dynasty, she attached great importance to the control of the vassal king, and the Ming Dynasty gradually formed. It is different from the Han and Jin Dynasties and the imperial clan system in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It has the following characteristics: all kinds of goods are well known, Wuxi soil is fenced, nobles are not for the people, they don't treat guests when they eat well, and the four people (that is, scholars, farmers and businessmen) don't participate in business, so they can take the hereditary position. -saying that he is a parasite of the country, but he doesn't want to show ambition. After hard fighting, with the separatist regime of the Ming emperors Judy and Zhu Zhanji, the political and military power of the vassals was completely deprived. The royal family is not allowed to participate in political affairs or talk about state affairs. They were almost isolated from government politics, and the princes gradually became princes who rented clothes and ate food. However, we can feel the political demands and demands of these prisoners from their poems, but under the political pressure and the surveillance of the secret service, the expression is a bit obscure. Next, I appreciate the poems of some Ming dynasty captives: these captives express their inner feelings in the form of poems, which are mainly manifested in four aspects: First, they have the ambition of "saving the world and saving the country." For example, the bamboo slips of Qin Wang Zhu once confessed his enthusiasm for serving the country: "Serving the country is self-sufficient and wants to become silver. Wang Zhu Mi Tang of Tang Palace, who cares about politics, even directly expressed his worries and political opinions about the current situation in his poems: "Gan Kun swings endlessly, and Wan Li is stormy." You must choose a general when you are wandering around the world, and you must seek medical advice when you are in turmoil. Love you every day, worry about your country, frown from time to time. Never forget loyalty and filial piety in an instant. Only God knows that. "Mi Zhu's pliers think that the country needs to select and enable talents to leave chaos, just like people need to find a good doctor when they are sick. However, he also lamented that only God knows his own mind. Zhu Yinpei, a Shen Xianwang living in Jiajing Dynasty, even felt ashamed that he could not contribute to the country because of his generous treatment: "I know how generous I am, but it is hard to save time. "Look at the birds in the hidden nest. Can shenlin be safe? " Such a poem can be seen everywhere in his baohezhai manuscript. Although the imperial court prohibited imperial clan from participating in politics, it was their duty to serve the country in the consciousness of these prisoners. They are also very concerned about the troubles at the border. Secondly, the princes of the Ming Dynasty were also "full of strong sense of hardship". The Northern Ming Dynasty has always been the theme of the dynasty. Many prisoners are also located in border fortresses and famous cities, and they can often witness and experience border wars. However, due to the ban of the captaincy, he could not wait on the horse in person, but only sent poems. In the Ming Dynasty, a large number of captives wrote frontier poems, such as Zhu Youdun, Wang Zhu Yong Cheng, Tang Mitong, Zhu Zhenyu, Shu Wang Cheng Zhu Rangxu, Zhao Kangwang Zhu Houyu and Wugang Wang Zhu Xianhuai. Among them, the best poem written by King Zhu Zhenyu of Su Jing is "Feng Tang wants to join the pommel horse, how to revive the past?" Qian, one of the champions of poetry in the early Qing Dynasty, praised him as "good writing, elegant and ancient poetry, and especially affectionate words", while the prisoners could only care about the frontier fortress but could not make achievements. In addition to the frontier prisoners, even the mainland prisoners are concerned about the peasant uprising and the enemy's invasion. They also use poetry to express themselves. Zhu Xianhuai and Chu Fan, the kings of Wugang, not only cared about the war in the north, but also attached great importance to the war of resistance in the southeast. He wrote two poems: "Feeling on the Drum Horn of Learning the Qin" and "Seeing Zhang Mingkui off (when the Governor oversaw Su Song)", both of which talked about the war of resistance: "When will you sleep in Julian Waghann in the southeast?" After a night of crazy slavery, it is very dangerous to insinuate the emperor. Third, these prisoners will also write poems to express "concern for state affairs and insinuate the emperor." Warlords often use abnormal climate to criticize current politics. For example, Zhu Yinpei, the immortal king, also wrote a similar poem, which is even more ironic: "Who knows the change of temperament and mind, who is the prime minister of the current dynasty." Clouds are dark and the wind is chaotic. Shi Dingning has a clear conscience and will die every time he cooks. Thistle door is not stuffy, but full of luxury. "With the help of an unusually dark day, this is related to the bad political affairs all attributed to the Prime Minister. I wonder if the report of Jiajing Dynasty is about Yan Song. There are many such poems, and some even allude to the current emperor. In the Ming dynasty, imperial clan was forbidden to be an official, which also made imperial clan lose the most basic way to participate in politics. In addition, some vassals "yearned for political demands to participate in local affairs" and showed compassion for ordinary people. Because they can't directly participate in national political affairs, they can participate in local affairs in the form of disaster relief and other charitable acts with the permission of the court. -depression in the heart can only be relieved by the spirit of Buddhism and Taoism. Judy really changed many ideas of Zhu Yuanzhang. After the war of Jingnan in the Ming Dynasty, the political demands and demands of the vassal kings were under the strict imperial clan policy, and there was no room for suppression. Their ambitions can only be expressed in other ways, such as poetry. There are also some princes, such as "Zhu Chong, King of Xiangling in Han Dynasty" and "Zhu Chong, King of Su Dynasty", who tried to take the initiative to participate in state affairs, but they were all rejected by the court. To put it bluntly, all the "ambitions" of Ming prisoners will become wishful thinking, so they can only vent these "depressed" and "helpless" emotions in their poems. They became such a special group because of the policy of prohibiting governors from participating in politics in the Ming Dynasty. Even if there are outstanding governors, they can't be officials. No wonder many princes are unhappy and unable to show their ambitions. In the Ming dynasty, there were also secret service agencies that kept prisoners under strict supervision and prohibited them from participating in politics. As a result, these prisoners finally embarked on the road of spiritual liberation. They often get rid of themselves in the spiritual world in three ways. First, indifferent to fame and fortune. Confucianism pays attention to "making contributions". Since this is impossible, "indifferent to fame and fortune" has become a way of thinking to solve the conflict between ambition and reality. Zhu Rangxu, king of Shu, was addicted to poetry wine and wrote, "What's the use of fame without poetry wine?" He saw a free and easy mood in him. Second, learn and worship Tao Yuanming, and then learn to live in seclusion. For example, Zhu Youdun, king of Zhou Xian, lived in seclusion for many years, describing his seclusion as "secluded in the forest": "Several huts are isolated from the world, and he loves flowing springs and mountains. As soon as a herb-picking monk comes out of the clouds, the nest pine crane returns in the rain. Bedside wine teaches you to get drunk, and the world is always idle. If Penglai wins many interesting stories about seclusion, it should be no better than the world. "Qin bamboo slips, Mi in Tang Palace, Zhong, Wang Zhu in Zhao Fan Jiangning, etc. Everyone admires and admires Tao Yuanming. This also makes seclusion and seclusion a common phenomenon among princes. I believe everyone has seen the claustrophobia of the Prince of the Ming Dynasty in many film and television dramas. Being powerless in politics, hermits and recluses became the objects and behaviors admired by princes. They are not only similar to Tao Yuanming's seclusion, but also a way to protect themselves from disasters. Monasticism and meditation are also called their choices. Third, he participated in Zen and sought immortality, and had frequent contacts with Buddhism and Taoism. Among many vassal states, Zhu Youdun, King of Zhou Xian, is the most typical. He can not only learn Zen, but also learn from the immortals, claiming that he loves to learn Zen and Taoism best: "When he is old, he only loves to learn Zen" and "When he is old, he only loves to learn from the immortals"; He also has many poems about Zen, such as learning Buddhism, learning Taoism, worshiping Buddhism, holding scriptures, Zen and so on. He often talks about Zen with others, meditates in person and has some research on Zen. At the same time, I also believe in Taoism, but I have frequent contacts with them. Other governors have their own preferences for Zen and Daoxian. Wang Tong, the king of the Tang Palace, and Zhu Zaixie and Zhao Fan, the kings of Jiangning, are both deeply convinced of Zen. Mi Zhu-Tong had frequent contacts with Taoist priests and was full of praise for their magic. After his wife recovered from the Taoist Dan medicine, he specially wrote a poem "Wang Xie Yu's medicine has been proved", praising Wang Yu's "the best skill of spreading Xu Anqi", but Mi Zhu was more devoted to Zen in spirit. Some princes, such as Zhu Rangxu, King of Shu, and Zhu, King of Jin, all like Taoism. There are also some princes who study music and science. Their poems are full of ambitions, but in real life they can only find relief in the spiritual world. Some people seek liberation from the quiet life; Some people follow Tao Yuanming's example of seclusion; Some people can only believe in Zen; Some people envy immortality. Among various social groups in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial clan eventually became the most bereaved group. -Looking at the Ming Dynasty from the name of the imperial clan, Zhu Yuanzhang, who struggled in the life of the captaincy, also considered the problem of multiple descendants when formulating the enfeoffment of the captaincy, so he wrote a generational table for each captaincy. Every family is different, and every family should be represented by the twentieth generation. When this generation is used up, it will be reused by the next generation, and so on. The third word in a name must be based on the five elements. This word must be based on Jin Mu's fire, water and soil, such as Zhu Biao and Judy of his son and Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunqi of his grandson. Chemical Elements Only the last word in each prince's name is used to distinguish himself from others, and this unique word also requires that the radicals must be the same, and every five generations of radicals must be reincarnated according to the five elements. However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that his descendants were too many. Finally, all kinds of uncommon words are not enough. In order not to violate group training, he can only make up words, such as sodium, magnesium, aluminum, cobalt and alkene. /kloc-the chemical periodic table was introduced into China in the 0/7th century. In order to promote sinicization, these rare words created by Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants were finally quoted by Xu Shou, a famous scientist in the late Qing Dynasty, and became the periodic table of chemical elements that we are familiar with today. If they are parasites, then they are forced to become a life with a locked name. How can the prisoners of the Ming Dynasty live a free life? I just hope that when you see the prisoners of the Ming Dynasty in the future, don't just remember that they are parasites of a group of empires. They also lived a life oppressed by life and dynasties.
