Chapter 253: Fubo Temple, head cutting and hair removal
According to the historical records of the Han Dynasty: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in the two counties of Zhuya, all of them are of different kinds, and their bodies are carved, and the women are mostly delicate, white, with long hair and beautiful temples."
It also records some other reasons for the abandonment of the two counties of Zhuya: "The abolition of Zhuya started when the chief official saw his good hair and took the kun into a 髲." A 髲, that is, a wig.
In ancient times, noble ladies often wore wigs to show their grace and splendor. Due to this need, as "Taiping Yulan" quoted from "Linyi Ji" said: "Zhuya people have long hair, and the county guards in the Han Dynasty
Being greedy and cruel, binding women and cutting off their heads and removing their hair is a rebellion and they will no longer be submissive."
Unexpectedly? The ladies of the Han Dynasty also liked to wear wigs like the women of later generations. Although the needs were different, the ladies of the Han Dynasty did it to be more graceful and luxurious, while the ladies of the later generations liked to wear wigs because of their sparse hair, etc.
The reason, but its essence is mostly the love of beauty.
It's just that the wigs of noble ladies in the Han Dynasty were stained with the blood of young and beautiful women of the Li ethnic group in Chanzhou (Hainan). I wonder if the noble ladies of the Han Dynasty would have nightmares at night when they wore these wigs during the day?
Why not buy it from a woman from a civilian family in the Central Plains? After all, civilian families are not very wealthy, but it is still very popular at this time to inherit the body, hair, and skin from their parents, so no matter how high the price is, it is probably difficult to buy it.
,
During the Jian'an period, there was also a story about Cao Mengde "cutting off his hair and taking the place of his head". In this case, we can only start with the barbarian women in the newly established counties in this remote place. Driven by huge interests, those pearls that are high in the sky and far away from the emperor.
Only officials from Yaliang County could do such evil things of killing people and taking hair.
The ancients believed that hair is inherited from parents, and cutting it off casually is not only treasonous, but also a sign of unfilial piety. As the actual leader of the Han Dynasty at that time, Cao Cao was able to cut off his hair and lead by example, which is really commendable.
After all, it was because he had people draft and promulgate the "Tuntian Order" before this. At the same time, he ordered the army to open up a large amount of wasteland and implement military garrisons. He also strictly ordered the soldiers to protect the crops and not trample the seedlings. If they violated the rules, they would be punished according to the law.
Military punishment means beheading.
Once, when the wheat was ripe, Cao Cao led his troops on an expedition. The task was urgent and the troops were marching rapidly. The people hid far away and did not dare to harvest the crops.
After Cao Cao learned about it, he issued a military order. If any soldier trampled on the wheat field, he would be beheaded immediately. Please don't be afraid. The soldiers walked carefully through the wheat field. Cao Cao was riding a horse. Suddenly a bird flew out of the wheat field.
The bird was flying over the head of Cao Cao's horse.
The war horse was frightened and screamed while leaping into the wheat field next to it. When Cao Cao stopped the horse with force, he looked down and saw that a large piece of wheat had been trampled down.
So Cao Cao quickly jumped off his horse and said to the officer in charge of the law: "My horse trampled the wheat and violated the ban. I request that the crime be discussed according to military law."
The official in charge of laws said: "The general is the commander-in-chief of an army, how can he discuss crimes?"
Cao Cao then said: "I have made laws myself, but I will not be punished for violating them. How can I obey the public?" The official in charge of laws and regulations said again: "Crimes cannot be imposed on noble people.
You are the commander-in-chief of an army, and besides, the destruction of the wheat field was not done illegally intentionally, but by accident, so I think there is no need to plead guilty."
After hearing this, Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "In this case, I will be exempted from the death penalty for the time being, but I should be punished for my mistakes!"
After saying that, he took off his hat, cut off a lock of his hair with his sword, threw it on the ground and said, "Let's cut off the hair instead of beheading."
The news that Cao Cao cut off his hair and strictly observed the military order quickly spread throughout the army. Everyone in the army was in awe. Everyone obeyed the military order and no one dared to violate it. This shows that hair was very important at that time, and ability was important.
Equal to life, otherwise how could the soldiers under my command be completely convinced?
The local officials were promiscuous and cruel to the point of killing women for their beautiful hair. How could the people not rebel? So first in the fifth year of Emperor Zhao's reign, Dan'er County issued an edict to abolish it because of the constant rebellion in Dan'er County.
In this way, it only took more than twenty years from the establishment of the county to its abolishment. By then, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had died.
Emperor Zhao dismissed Dan'er County and merged it into Zhuya County. However, after the merging of counties, in the third year of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, three Zhuya counties rebelled. In the first year of Ganlu, nine counties rebelled. In the first year of Emperor Yuan's first year, Zhuya rebelled again.
.
Counties are becoming more rebellious, and the situation is uncertain year after year. There is no peace in the county. It can be said that the gourd is pressed and the gourd is lifted again, a bit like the current game of whack-a-mole.
However, the mediocre Han emperor at that time not only did not think about the failure of moral governance, but falsely accused the local people of "their people were violent and evil, and they tried to stop them and violated the official ban several times." Therefore, in the third year of the Yuan Dynasty of the Han Yuan Dynasty (46 BC), Lianzhuya was finally
The county also gave up. It has been more than two hundred years since then.
With a few "clicks", the city gate of Dan'er County was blasted open. When Nie You led his troops and rushed into the city, the top of the city was almost cleared, and the soldiers who came first had already started to go to the city gate along the ramp.
He left there, met up with Nie You, and continued toward the city.
Nie You led his troops to attack the east gate. Originally, the Wu army arrived at the north gate first, but the Haihe River (Yilun River) flows through the north gate and is directly connected to the sea, but it is no longer accessible to large ships.
After all, the Haihe River had not been properly cleaned for more than two hundred years. If it was difficult to enter the city through this gate, Nie You then led his troops around to the east gate to attack the city and break in.
After Nie You led his troops into the city, he followed his usual practice of first capturing the county government office, and then cleaning up the remaining Li soldiers in various places in the city. After having dinner at the county government office, Nie You took a guide to General Fubo Temple in the north of the city.
, Baimajing took a look and brought some tributes to worship Ma Fubo (Ma Yuan).
Legend has it that when General Ma Fubo of the Han Dynasty conquered Chanzhou (Hainan Island) southward, the spring was named after General Ma's white horse used its hooves to plow the sand with its hooves.
Later, people built Fubo Temple and Fubo Well in memory of this hero of the Han Dynasty.
Historical records record: "Later, General Fubo rode a white horse to plow sand to find a spring. Because the well was only forty-five steps away from the waves, and its taste was pure and sweet, the villagers built a Fubo temple on the well."
Nie You led the people around him to kneel down and worship in the Fubo Temple, then lit incense in the incense burner in front of the Fubo statue, placed fruits and other sacrifices, and then said with emotion: "General Fubo, we are here today to offer sacrifices.
Bye, we have recovered Dan'er County, which was abandoned for more than two hundred years, today. I believe we can comfort your spirit in heaven."
Everyone on the left and right said: "General, General Fubo will definitely be very happy to see that our country has recovered Dan'er County."
Nie You then went to look at the square White Horse Well. He picked up a handful of clear spring water at the mouth of the well and drank it without leaving any drop. "It's really sweet and refreshing. I really like the spring water," he said.
It is so close to the sea, and there is no bitter taste of sea water. It is really strange and lives up to the name of Baima Well!" Nie You said that he also poured out the water in the water bag, took some spring water and put it in it, and took it back.
