Although the Ming Dynasty perished, the sun and moon in its name are still there, which is not conducive to stabilizing people's hearts, so the sun and moon are replaced by Ming next to the eyes, which means that there is a moon but no sun, and the glory of the Ming Dynasty It no longer exists! In fact, I think this statement is too far-fetched. It is impossible for Kangxi to do this. In the eyes of Kangxi, he still respected the Ming Dynasty very much. The rulers of the Qing Dynasty all respected the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, especially Zhu Yuanzhang. Kangxi came to Nanjing I visited the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum five times out of six times. One of the four characters was "Zhilong Tang and Song Dynasty", which was the calligraphy treasure left by Emperor Kangxi when he went to the south of the Yangtze River three times!
The second theory is that in order to respect the yin and yang and the five elements, the ancient Feng Shui people believed that the mausoleum is a cemetery, and the word Ming belongs to Yang. Got it! The third one is also one that I think is more practical.
I think it should be a calligraphy character, that is, from an aesthetic point of view, this character is more beautiful, the left and right layout is well-proportioned, and the expression languages ????of Chinese and English are different. In addition to expressing meaning, Chinese characters are also beautiful and pay attention to the balance of primary and secondary. In history, there are many precedents of calligraphers creating and transforming characters. During the writing process, we found that the Japanese character clearly has a left-right structure, which is called sun and moon. Obviously, if the left side is smaller and the right side is larger, it will not look good!
So probably in the era of Wang Xizhi, a horizontal line was added to it to become an eye. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, many calligraphers had this clear character in their fonts, that is, the word "日" was added above it. After a horizontal stroke, it became the word "mu"!
Including Mr. Sun Yat-sen during the Republic of China, he also led officials to visit the tomb of Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty to express his admiration for the Ming Taizu for expelling the Tartars and restoring China. Therefore, it was impossible to change the meaning of the word Ming at that time. It cannot be said that there were no typos written by Kangxi, and later people followed this pattern in writing. ?
