Basic explanation and detailed explanation
Before Song Taizu died, there was a legend that Emperor Taizong entered the palace. Wen Song's Record of Shan Ye, Hunan Province: "Send the key to the palace gate and call King Kaifeng, that is, Emperor Taizong. Into the big bed, drinking, eunuch maid-in-waiting notice screen. But seeing the candle shadow from a distance, Emperor Taizong sometimes avoided his seat, which made him invincible ... Gu Taizong said,' It's easy to do it well.' Then I took off my belt and went to bed, breathing like thunder. The one who stayed in the forbidden area was Xi Taizong. Five drums, Zhou Lu was silent, the emperor collapsed. In the Ming Dynasty, there were similar records in Ke Weiqi's Long Edited History as a Mirror and New Edited History of Song Dynasty. Later generations called Taizong killing his brother to seize the position with "the sound of candles and axes"; But some people say it is false, especially Cheng's Final Examination of Song Dynasty in Ming Dynasty. Ming Zhang Kui's "Millennium Eye" and "The Sound of Candle Shadow Axe": "It is unprecedented for an artist's ancestors to abandon their children to set up brothers ... The suspicion of the sound of candle shadow axe may be difficult to pin on future generations." "Comments on Zhao Kuangyin in the Song Dynasty in Shigang": "If the candle and axe sound suspicious, it is also the opinion of the vulgar Confucianism, and Qiu Qiongshan can be distinguished. "
