1 142, Yue Fei was framed by the traitor Qin Gui and killed on trumped-up charges. It was not until the Song Xiaozong period that Yue Fei's unjust case was rehabilitated and his grave was moved to the West Lake.
Since Yue Fei's death, Mr. and Mrs. Qin Gui have been cursed by people. In order to commemorate Yue Fei and flog Qin Gui, people made a kneeling statue of Mr. and Mrs. Qin Gui in front of Yue Fei's tomb. The phrase "Castle Peak is fortunate to bury loyal bones, while white iron casts innocent courtiers" also refers to this matter.
Qin Gui and his wife have been kneeling in front of Yuefei Tomb in Yuefei Temple in Hangzhou for more than 500 years, and people have become accustomed to Qin Gui's "kneeling".
But some people still have different views. In 2005, the artist Jin Feng created a work. In this work, Qin Gui gives the impression that he is no longer kneeling, but standing!
As soon as this work came out, it immediately attracted people's attention and heated discussion. Everyone has different opinions on whether Qin Gui should stand up.
Of course, some historians have also expressed their views on this matter. Gao, a professor of history, said that he thought it was ridiculous to make a statue. Professor Gao believes that the loyalty and treachery with Yue Fei is still inconclusive. Qin Gui's kneeling is like the behavior of the feudal ruling class at that time to consolidate its rule and warn its officials, which has certain historical limitations. Future generations can't look at their predecessors from the present point of view. However, it is unnecessary for artist Jin Feng to let Qin Gui "stand up".
With the rapid development of tourism, local governments are seeking all kinds of historical records and trying to find a historical celebrity in their jurisdiction to develop local tourism culture. Yuefei Temple has a large scale in Anyang, Tangyin, Hangzhou, Zhuxian Town, Jingjiang, Yifeng and other places in China. Whenever people see the kneeling statues of Qin Gui and his wife, they will pat or swallow saliva to vent their anger. The portrait on the king's chest has been touched into two black balls. Ancient women were the most virtuous, and people also used this behavior to humiliate her evil deeds.
Qin Gui has such ugly behavior that future generations are afraid of being dragged down by their ancestors and making trouble for themselves, and dare not say their surnames in front of people. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, a scholar named Qin came to visit the West Lake with his poetry friends one day. He saw the iron Qin Gui couple kneeling in front of Wang Yue's grave, surrounded by the filth thrown down by people when they were angry, and his face was very embarrassed. In order not to let people know that he is a descendant of Qin Gui, he immediately wrote a poem "Man is ashamed of Song Dynasty".
However, there is a middle school teacher named Qin Liang in Nanning who claims to be a descendant of Qin Gui. He said: I'm also ashamed of my surname Qin, but I want to express my views on the vacancy of my ancestors. My ancestor Qin Gui killed Yue Fei, which is well known and beyond doubt. It is also reasonable for Qin Gui and his wife to bow down to Yue Fei. But why is there a statue that bows down in front of my mother-in-law, and there are still five? My mother-in-law died before Yue Fei was killed, and Qin Gui had nothing to do with her mother-in-law's death. Ancestors should not bow down, they should remove the kneeling statue. Netizens know that this matter is not calm, and they are crazy about the descendants of Qin on the Internet.
It can be seen that people are still in awe of Yue Fei now. Five kneeling statues are placed in front of her mother-in-law's grave, so that people will always remember this history and pass it on from generation to generation.
History should be remembered. After all, we don't know what happened in the social era at that time, but as future generations, we should remember what is left over from history.
