Is it true that the emperor shunzhi became a monk? Professor of Chinese Academy of Sciences solved the mystery through Kangxi Imperial Tibetan Law.

Recently, the Truth column of CCTV Documentary Channel broadcasted three episodes of "Mystery of Ancient Temple" to explore the mystery of the emperor shunzhi becoming a monk. In the film, Professor Li of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered the secret of Kangxi's imperial title "Being a scholar", and uncovered the mystery of speculation that Shunzhi had become a monk for more than 300 years.

Professor Li

At the beginning of 20 10, Li happened to see the program "Mystery of the Ancient Temple" of CCTV's "All over China" (Part I and Part II). The film introduces that nearly 350 years ago, just after the first day of August in Shunzhi, the Qing Palace suddenly heard a news that shocked the ruling and opposition parties: Shunzhi, the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was only 24 years old. Three days later, Kangxi's stepfather was less than eight years old. However, shortly thereafter, it was widely circulated that the emperor shunzhi had just become a monk in Wutai Mountain because of the death of his beloved princess. A shocking "mystery of Shunzhi" was born. The foggy court obituary violated the "taboo of the Qing Dynasty", so the written historical materials about Shunzhi were finally broken. However, the increasing number of folk rumors has escalated this mystery. For example, it was later rumored that Xiaozhuang's grandmother took her grandson Kangxi all the way to Wutai Mountain to "worship Buddha" and "persuade Shunzhi to return to the palace"; It is widely circulated among the people of Baiyun Temple in Henan that Kangxi once paid a full visit to the temple, which was a "father-seeking" visit. Villagers near Baiyun Temple keep a colorful portrait of an old monk sitting on a dragon chair and wearing boots. The French name is "getting up late". And "wake up late" is the name of Shunzhi becoming a monk. The most important material evidence left by Baiyun Temple is a Imperial Monument from Kangxi Qin (incomplete, figure 1). There are two big characters "Changtang" on the wall, and the small characters on the side are clearly engraved with the words "Forty-nine years of Kangxi". The restored "model monument" (Figure 2) shows that the original monument only has four Chinese characters: "Dang, Tang, Chang and Shang", which are distributed in a prismatic shape. Many scholars want to use it to prove that Shunzhi once became a monk in this temple, so as to solve the "mystery of Shunzhi". But this year, this monument has been 300 years old. No one has given a convincing answer to how to read these four inscriptions and what they mean, let alone see their connection with Shunzhi. The mystery of Shunzhi has not been solved, and the mystery of Kangxi Imperial Monument has been reborn.

With this clue, Professor Li began to explore, and on 20 10, he wrote an article "Solving the Emperor Kangxi's Monument and Solving the Mystery of Shunzhi" in the magazine Scientific China People. According to the article, since I worked in the "four clean-ups" in Xiangshan, Beijing 45 years ago, I heard many rumors of Shunzhi becoming a monk from the local old population, which impressed me deeply. When I was in primary and secondary schools, I watched The Romance of the Three Kingdoms many times. Every time I read Yang Xiu's explanation of Cai Yong's Yellow Silk Young Woman's Grandson's Mortar, when I get the word "wonderful and good", I admire it very much and remember it deeply. In addition, I have been engaged in physical research for a long time and have the habit of contacting mysteries, so I want to test the meaning of the inscription.

2. The plain text is difficult to understand, and the hidden text is sought.

Professor Li found that there are only four simple imperial plaques and the most commonly used words, but there are extremely profound mysteries. Especially the strange prismatic arrangement, people simply don't know how to read in circles. In desperation, we have to list all 24 kinds of "four-character full arrangement" by mathematical methods, but we still can't find a pronunciation that conforms to Chinese rules and has a clear meaning, and we can't see any connection with the "mystery of Shunzhi". He ruled out the possibility of interpreting according to the meaning of words in plain text. He repeatedly saw four Chinese characters with round beads and rich brushwork, and once thought that maybe "it's just a' ink tablet' showing calligraphy skills, which may have no meaning at all, so he arranged it in a prismatic shape. But in retrospect, isn't there any special significance in the inscription given by Kangxi, the talented emperor of the dynasty? ! When there is really nothing to do, I have to "don't look if I don't understand." Let's take a look at its profound meaning or hidden secret first.

Professor Li, who played the game of steganography as a child, knows the basic methods of Chinese steganography and has a keen sense of smell for steganography. An idea suddenly flashed through his mind: "the imperial monument is probably an inscription monument." Kangxi, who thought of coming here to find his father many times, had deep feelings for his father and son. In the year of Shunzhi's death, he didn't want to see his father who entered the customs to establish the founding dynasty disappear into the vast fog of folk rumors. At this time, the imperial tablet given to this temple by the Qin Dynasty will certainly contain secrets related to the mystery of Shunzhi, such as "Shunzhi, Emperor, Monk" and so on. He realized that he should devote himself to finding the hidden words behind the pure text.

Three or four characters, four hidden texts.

The most important skill of Chinese steganography is the hidden characters of strokes. Chinese characters are the most distinctive, expressive and artistic characters in the world cultural treasure house. Although it is usually "one word, one sound and one meaning", its magical charm is a pen with one word, which can be hidden in many ways to meet the needs of the background of the times. After repeated exploration, he finally made the following discovery. In order to see how the hidden characters in the four inscriptions are hidden, he wrote the original inscription with "black pen" and "red pen". Where "red stroke" means the stroke to be deleted and "black stroke" is the "hidden text" to be left (each hidden text is attached to the right side of graphics tablet text).

Professor Li unlocks the truth of hidden texts.

(1), first look at the first "when" (traditional Chinese characters) in the order of "being rewarded in class" (Figure 3). It can be clearly seen from Figure 3 that the word "small" in the upper half of the word "Shang" is removed, leaving only the words "steamed stuffed bun cover" and "buckle", and the combination of the two just forms a "white" word. The word "Tian" below the word "Shang" is not the word "Wang" if the left and right vertical pens are removed. On the "white" and "king", the word "emperor" of an "emperor" jumps to the page. The idea of "hiding monuments" has been initially determined.

(2) ? Look at the second word "Tang" (Figure 4). The prefix "Shang" is cleverly hidden. However, as long as you remove more than half of the left side of the horizontal pen of Baogai, you can see the triangle of "three points of water" on the left and the prefix of "Taiwan" on the right. Together with the word "mouth" in the middle of the word "Tang", it is a word "governance". If there's still something to hide. Moreover, the expected word "emperor, rule" has appeared.

(3) Look at the third word "Chang" (Figure 5). The key to deciphering the word "Chang" is to decipher the part above the treasure cover of the word "Shang". At first glance, it is hard to say which part it hides, but if you think about it carefully and compare it with the expected "emperor" prefix, it is not difficult to find that it really has a "emperor" prefix. Tie a high-grade silk "towel" below and you will see the word "Emperor". With the word "imperial rule"! Then the fourth word, which has no solution, can be known as the word "Shun" speculated above.

(4) It's really comfortable to reveal the text with a goal. From Figure 6, the word "Chuan" to the left of the word "Shun" can be found on the word "Bao" of the word "Reward" at a glance; As for the word "page" on the right, just put the "folding" stroke of the middle word "mouth" near the complete word "quilt" below. The word "Shun" appeared, and the four hidden ciphertexts of "the emperor shunzhi" were finally uncovered! I didn't expect such a "hit the nail on the head", and clearly said the four big hidden words of "the emperor shunzhi". The mystery of "Kangxi Imperial Monument" for more than 300 years has finally come to light.

Figure 6 reveals the secret of the word "reward"

The unveiling of the four hidden characters also reveals that the four-character tablet should be read in the order of "Yongxiangtang", that is, "the emperor shunzhi". This is completely in line with the ancient Chinese pronunciation: "top-down, right-to-left".

When I think of the four words in the original inscription, it has a very obvious up-and-down structure. All four words are Shang, which obviously means "four monks" and is also the homonym of "one monk". Connecting them with four hidden words is a perfect sentence that clearly tells future generations: "the emperor shunzhi is a monk". In fact, only the word "the emperor shunzhi" also means this.

Fourth, unlock the imperial tablet and solve the mystery.

With the inscription on the monument of Emperor Kangxi, three mysteries of the emperor shunzhi over the past 300 years have been uncovered:

(1) just solved the emperor shunzhi's 24-year-old "mystery of life and death". Consistent with rumors from all over the world, it is conclusively proved that the emperor shunzhi not only did not die at the age of 24, but also learned from the double evidence of the Yubei and the villagers of Baiyun Temple who appeared in Kangxi's 49 th year that he lived to Kangxi's 49 th year and died at the age of 73.

(2) Exactly solve the mystery of the emperor shunzhi becoming a monk. The cryptic text proves conclusively that the folk story of "the emperor shunzhi becoming a monk" is an absolutely conclusive fact.

(3) Solve the emperor shunzhi's "mystery of life experience and ending" exactly. Fuzzy proof; The late "the emperor shunzhi" was really a carefree monk and a guest from all corners of the country. He is indeed a monk in Baiyun Temple, and the villagers have a portrait of the awakened one who "sits on a dragon chair in cassock and mounts his boots to enter the Buddhist temple", which has a reliable source. The mystery of the emperor shunzhi's "life experience ending" revealed by the inscription on the imperial tablet is: "Baiyun Temple" at the end of life; The old age is "forty-nine years of Kangxi"; The identity of the old man is "getting up late".

Professor Li believes that the inscription can be regarded as the ingenious application of Chinese characters to the peak. From ingenious ideas, wonderful settings, extraordinary words and wonderful expressions, it can be called the most dazzling and magical hidden flower in the history of China. Shunzhi lived for 49 years after becoming a monk, and he must have traveled a lot. Only by collecting all his information in various places and through the joint research of experts, scholars and comrades from all walks of life can we paint a "panorama of Shunzhi's life" and completely solve the "mystery of Shunzhi".
