the Imperial Mountain Summer Resort There is a plaque above the main hall gate, which reads“ the Imperial Mountain Summer Resort ”Four gold plated characters kangxi emperor The imperial pen is thick and powerful, which is still shining after hundreds of years; The carved patterns on the four sides of the plaque are simple, thick, exquisite and striking. It is a rare boutique.
When you look closely, you will find that“ the Imperial Mountain Summer Resort ”The right side of the word "avoid" should be the word "xin". Kangxi wrote the word "xin" one more horizontal, which became a wrong word. Is it a clerical error or something else? In the Qing Dynasty, the two characters "avoid" were used at the same time. No matter which writing method was correct, it was a phenomenon of variant characters. Here kangxi emperor It was written in pursuit of calligraphy beauty!
From a historical perspective, in 1703 kangxi emperor , has achieved victory in all aspects, and has harvested brilliant achievements in economy, science and technology, and culture. Architecture the Imperial Mountain Summer Resort Is to show his confidence in the future goal of "building a harmonious society". Therefore, Kangxi wrote an inscription with his own hand, and changed the word "avoid" into "avoid" (one more horizontal line under Xin's word). He intentionally wrote one more note. No one suspected that he wrote a wrong word, but many learned people guessed his mentality at that time. In fact, it can be said that this was also a way of showing Kangxi's confidence after he pacified the three "vassals" and turned his focus to the northern border.
According to historical records, Emperor Kangxi specially added a note that he thought: "This is a summer refuge, not a refuge". It turns out that the emperor's taboo word "avoid" means "escape", which is unlucky, so with a stroke of the pen and a horizontal stroke, there is no meaning of "escape".
Another allusion is that the emperor wanted to see whether ministers respected him or not, and dared to question him, so he deliberately wrote that word, but none of the ministers dared to say that it was wrong, so he hung it up until Now?
