The emperor's crown is varied. Why did the ancient emperor of China put beads on his hat?

The bead curtain in front of the son of heaven, the standard scientific name is jade algae. The number of bead curtains is exquisite, and there are twelve crowns (twelve before and after, that's twenty-four). Nine princes (eighteen), seven doctors (fourteen) and five doctors (ten). From a visual point of view, hanging a bead curtain in front of your eyes will obviously affect your vision, so why hang it?

At first, ordinary people thought there was no special intention. When they watch TV series, they also think that the ancients designed it like this just to show the majesty and sacredness of the emperor. Recently, I read The Biography of Han Dong Fangshuo, and suddenly realized that the design of this "Xi" is of great significance.

Please see Mr. Dong Fangshuo's wonderful explanation. He said: "clear water means no fish, and people have no disciples." Crown in front, so cover it; I am deaf, so I am listening. I don't know what I saw, but I don't know what I heard. I praise Dade, forgive Xiaode, and don't want to prepare for the righteousness of one person. "

What do you mean? He said that if the water was too clear, there would be no fish. If a person is too demanding of understanding, he will become arrogant and have fewer believers and friends. -This is the theoretical basis. Therefore, as the emperor who ruled all peoples, he wore a special hat, and a bead curtain fell in front of the hat to properly block the line of sight, and jade blocks were blocked by his ears, just to properly reduce his hearing. Pay attention to the words "covering your eyes" and "plugging your ears", which are very vivid and cover your eyes and ears.

Why cover the eyes of some emperors and block their ears? Oriental adults say that to be an emperor, the main energy should be spent on rewarding people with great virtues, ignoring and forgiving people's small mistakes, and never asking everyone to be perfect.

So, the setting of Xi is basically to prevent the emperor from demanding perfection? Actually, it is not. The bead curtain hanging in front of the Emperor of Heaven reflects the philosophy of China people-the golden mean. Even if the emperor is given by God, don't take everything too seriously, and turn a blind eye when you should turn a blind eye. It's hard to be confused! Just like Tang Geng, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, said in "Caution", "You have to endure things that are right and wrong, and you are half stupid and half deaf".

China people's philosophy of life has always permeated and integrated into the traditional culture of China, which is also a major feature of China culture. Although today's legal society governing the country according to law is being implemented, the social phenomenon and officialdom phenomenon of "turning a blind eye" are not uncommon, and it is not uncommon to show mercy outside the law.
