In the tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang in ming tomb, the word "Ming" is more than one horizontal. Emperor Kangxi did it on purpose? Why?

Objectively speaking, this situation is quite common. In order to avoid using the word "scholar", people changed the word "scholar" to "thirty" and "people" to "Hu". Now there are still these two words in many documents and historical sites of the Tang Dynasty, so it is reasonable for Kangxi to do so.

Moreover, at that time, Emperor Kangxi had just pacified the South for three times, and the whole country itself was in a very fierce background of ethnic contradictions. Therefore, in the policy of governing the country, Emperor Kangxi needs to actively ease ethnic contradictions and curb the centrifugal force of the Han people ruling the Qing Dynasty. In this case, if Kangxi treats the Ming Tombs in such an insulting way, it will definitely intensify ethnic conflicts.

Chinese characters prevailed in Qing dynasty, and Ming characters became the most taboo characters of Qing rulers. In Kangxi Dictionary, the editor was afraid of the end of decapitation, so he wrote an extra line, which became a curse. When Kangxi was in power, although he praised Zhu Yuanzhang's literary martial arts, it was only to win over the gentry and stabilize people's hearts. In his eyes, the Qing Dynasty was stronger than the Ming Dynasty. The change of Ming characters to Ming characters is intended to satirize the Ming Dynasty. Where is the light?

It was the ancients who paid attention to Feng Shui, and the Ming Tombs, as the tombs of the Ming royal family, paid more attention to Feng Shui. In order to respect the theory of "yin and yang and five elements", he thought that "Ming" was yang, but the mausoleum was a graveyard and yin, so he added a horizontal line to the word "Ming" in the "Ming Mausoleum" at that time and changed it to "Bi", so it did not violate Feng Shui.

But this is not the case. "Ming" has nothing to do with Kangxi. As for why this matter depends on Kangxi, why this word is written like this, it is necessary to start from the beginning. First of all, let's see why future generations will think that Kangxi did it!

There are different opinions about this word on the Internet. Some people say that because "Ming" means light, and places like ancient tombs are inhabited by people from the underworld, they can't hide the light, so in inscriptions and inscriptions, the word "Ming" will be used instead of "Ming", which is a rule for writing inscriptions. Some people say that this is Kangxi's satire on the Ming Dynasty. One more horizontal "Ming" makes the sun and moon dull, suggesting that there is no possibility of turning over in the Ming Dynasty. What's more, the person who said the inscription wrote the wrong word, harm! All kinds of statements are even more confusing.

Of course it's not a typo. In fact, this question is very simple, because ancient calligraphers wrote a lot like this. As calligraphy, this kind of writing is very common and normal. This word has the same sound and meaning as "Ming", but the font is slightly different. In ancient Chinese, most of these homonyms with different forms appeared more than two words because of different regions or different word-making methods, which were generally called variant characters. Now that the variant characters are standardized, only one of them can be written in the official text.

Nonsense, you found that the inscriptions and ink in the past were horizontal. Is it also Zhu's arrangement? Only an ignorant and self-righteous person would say such a thing.
