? "Xiaoxiang water is broken, Wan Weishan is restless. Beads are round, and jade is broken. Look at the pine trees and listen to the graves. For thousands of years, pepper flowers have sung. " With the exhibition of the epitaph of Shangguan Waner in Shaanxi Archaeological Museum, the relationship between Shangguan Waner and Princess Taiping has aroused heated discussion. In this 982-word epitaph, Shangguan Waner recorded in the history books was subverted, and at the same time, her close relationship with Princess Taiping was exposed. But also let people praise its friendship with Princess Taiping.
Someone translated this passage in the epitaph: Your departure is like the Xiaoxiang River cut off, Wanweishan fell, and the night pearl sank to the bottom. I stand here quietly, looking up at the green trees beside the grave, vaguely hearing your voice floating in the wind. I miss you forever and have a thousand words to send. I hope there will always be someone like me after 1000 years. ......
That's it. Many people think this is a description of the love between Shangguan Waner and Princess Taiping. In fact, this should be a witness to their friendship, in modern words, girlfriends.
In 20 13, the tomb of Shangguan Waner was discovered, but when the tomb was opened, it was empty and completely destroyed. There are basically no decent funerary objects. There are no coffins and murals, and there is no tomb robbery as thoroughly as Shangguan Waner's tomb was stolen. Later generations speculated that this was an organized sabotage.
According to Shangguan Waner's status and influence, who has so much power to make such a decision? Only one person can, and that is Li Longji.
Since Wu Zetian in Tang Dynasty, official destruction of tombs has become a tool of political rule. Perhaps the current dynasty thinks that only by destroying the cemetery can it "never turn over."
Shangguan Waner was killed by Li Longji in Zhengbian, Tang Long in 7 10. Princess Taiping was very sad and asked her brother Tang Ruizong to bury Shangguan Waner in Xianyang County, Yongzhou. At that time, the leaders of Tang Long's political revolution were Li Longji and Princess Taiping. Regarding the future of Shangguan Waner, Li Longji advocated killing her, and Princess Taiping hoped to bury her. Differences also worsened the relationship between Li Longji and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Two months later, Princess Taiping gave Shangguan Waner a beautiful burial. The most striking thing is the epitaph, which tells that Shangguan Waner is innocent, which just reflects the cruelty of Li Longji, which is also the political means of Princess Tian Ping.
In 7 13, a congenital coup broke out, and after Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne, Li Longji gave his aunt Princess Taiping a paper of letters. Suppress its party member. The most representative is the tomb of Princess Taiping's second husband, Wu, which was also razed to the ground. Similarly, as a best friend, Shangguan Waner was not spared.
As for why the epitaph was not destroyed, it may be because it was too big and heavy. Because the actions of the tomb destroyer finally let the world know that Shangguan Waner really exists.
So, what is the relationship between Shangguan Waner and Princess Taiping?
First of all, Shangguan Waner is an important female official around Wu Zetian and is known as the female prime minister. It can be understood as Wu Zetian's secretary. Her talent and political ability are beyond reproach.
Shangguan Waner and Princess Taiping originally belonged to two factions. Later, for various reasons, they became allies, and the appearance of Li Longji brought them together.
? Man proposes, God disposes. In the end, the two men were defeated by Li Longji. History has become the past. Anyway, in that patriarchal society, Shangguan Waner and Princess Taiping lived their own wonderful lives.
