Mother-in-law tattoos have been circulating among the people for a long time. From a purely emotional point of view, no one wants to deny this story, which still inspires the patriotism of the people of China. Unfortunately, Sun's Chronicle of Ewang at that time did not describe this at all. The original record of Yue Fei backstab's "loyalty to the country" can be found in the History of Song Dynasty. When interrogating Yue Fei, the official said: "Chi Fei showed his back, and there were four big characters on his back, which went deep into his skin." This shows that the tattoo on Yue Fei's back has a long history. Of course, this original record can't provide proof of mother-in-law's tattoo.

It stands to reason that my mother-in-law, as an ordinary peasant woman, is generally afraid that she can't read. Moreover, at that time, tattooing was a specialized craft with strict operating procedures and skills, which were beyond the reach of ordinary people. The eighth time, it was said that Lin Chong "stabbed to death with a distant army state" and "called a writer and stabbed him in the cheek". The twelfth time, when Yang Zhi was sentenced, he also "called a blacksmith and stabbed two lines of gold seals, overlapping with the left-behind department of Daming House in Beijing as an exile", indicating that not everyone in the Song Dynasty had the ability to stab people casually.

So, why did Yue Fei get a tattoo on his back? When the ruling class in Song Dynasty recruited soldiers, they all had tattoos on their faces, which was a sign of domestication and also prevented soldiers from deserting. The legend of Niu Xie He Zhu, a man from the Southern Song Dynasty, said: "The ancestor of art put down the world until he recruited hooligans from all corners of the country and tattooed their characters as military symbols." It shows that the conscription system in Song Dynasty was written in tattoos. Some faces are not tattooed. For example, in the history of celebrating the rejection of Xixia invitation, Fan Zhongyan was appointed as the border administration of Shaanxi Province, and the recruited soldiers only tattooed on the back of their hands or arms. The court system of fixed death and the flexible use of border officials have achieved good results in recruiting soldiers. At first, tattoo characters were military figures, such as Wu Dejun and Shanjun. Later, you can also tattoo auspicious words and warning words.

From the beginning of the Water Margin in the early Qing Dynasty, Qian Cai dramatized the story of her mother-in-law's tattoo, saying that Yue Fei "took off half his clothes. Ann picked up a pen and first wrote the word "loyal to serve the country" on Yue Fei's back. After the stab, she painted it with vinegar and ink and never faded. " On the contrary, in the prison where the 60th novel was wrongly investigated on Wednesday, the true story of Yue Fei revealing the word "Hui" during the trial was deleted. Since then, the story of mother-in-law tattoo has become stereotyped writing. Yue Fei's word, backstab, became "loyal to serve the country". Over time, rumors spread everywhere, almost making fake things true.

As a result, the legend of mother-in-law tattoo has been circulated for about 400 years. Before that, there was no such legend.

Yue Fei's eternal injustice

14 1 year, Jin was unable to attack and destroy the southern song dynasty and was ready to make peace with the song dynasty again. Song Ting took the opportunity to suppress the heavily armed generals, especially Yue Fei and Han Shizhong who insisted on resisting gold. In a letter to Shu Zhong, he said, "Only by killing Yue Fei can peace be achieved." .

In April, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei will be dismissed and serve in the Privy Council of Lin 'an.

In May, when Zhang Jun and Yue Fei visited the army in Han Shizhong, Chuzhou, they secretly persuaded Yue Fei to divide their troops together, but they were seriously rejected by Fei. Trying to frame Han Shizhong again, Fei saved Han. After Yue Fei returned to the DPRK, he was impeached by Qin Gui's cronies Wan Yi _, Luo Ruji and others, slandering Yuan Fei Huaixi for "not staying" and advocating "abandoning Chuzhou". As a parliamentary agreement, please stop flying. On August 9, Yue Fei was dismissed as the deputy special envoy of the parliament and took up the post of "Changshou" and flew back to Jiangzhou's former residence.

Yue Fei has no soldiers and no right at this time, but his persecution is still pressing. At Qin Gui's behest, Zhang Junli took advantage of the internal contradictions of country Y.

Yue Fei looked stern in the face of the trial, revealing the old thorn in his back. "Loyal to the country." Zhu He, the presiding judge, was deeply moved by this. The investigation found that the evidence of Yue case was insufficient, and it was actually an unjust case. Tell it truthfully. Qin Gui said, "It's my pleasure!" Wan Yi was appointed to preside over the case.

By hook or by crook, Yue Fei can't bend the word. I would rather die than falsely accuse myself or even go on a hunger strike. I barely survived under the care of my son Yue Lei.

165438+1October 7, Song and Jin reached a "Shaoxing Peace Talks": Jin became the minister, and all the land north of Huaihe River was included in the State of Jin, and 252,000 silver silks were donated to Jin every year.

Although the peace talks have been reached, Yue Fei has never been released. In the unsuccessful case of extorting a confession by torture, Yue Zhi found several charges such as "Shen" and "emotional backwardness" in order to get a real unjust prison, and wanted to put Fei to death.

Li Ruofu and He Yanyou of Dali Temple expressed dissatisfaction with the release. They had an argument with Wan Yi and were dismissed. Yun Sheng wrote to Feibu Six to avenge him and was executed by Dali Temple. Han Shizhong, who has been laid off, asked about Yue Fei's imprisonment. Gui replied, "Fei Ziyun and Zhang are unknown, but they have nothing to do with each other." Zhong said angrily, "Xianggong, why can you conquer the world with the word' nothing'?"

12 On February 29th, Song Gaozong issued an order:

"Yue fei is dead. Zhang Xi 'an and Yue Yun were executed according to the military law, which put Yang Yizhong in prison and sent many soldiers to protect him. "

Yue Fei was killed in Dali Temple Prison at the age of 39. Yue Yun and Zhang Xian were beheaded. Yue Fei's confession left only the last eight words: "sunny, sunny!" " "

When Yue Fei's death came out, the whole people wept for it. When the news reached the state of Jin, the ministers of the state of Jin celebrated by drinking and said, "From then on, the peace talks will be strong!" " "

After Yue Fei was killed, the jailer ventured to transport Yue Fei's body out of Hangzhou and buried it beside the Jiuqu Congci outside Qiantang Gate. On his deathbed, Kuishun told his son about it. 162, Song Xiaozong acceded to the throne, and Yue Fei's unjust prison was finally rehabilitated. Kuishun's son told old feelings, but was buried in Qixialing, West Lake. /kloc-in 0/78, Yue Fei was named "Wu Mu" and made him the king of Hubei. After he proclaimed himself emperor, he began to be loyal to Wu.

Although Yue Fei was killed, his achievements are indelible. Yue Fei expressed the demands of the invaded nation, adhered to the lofty national integrity, and persisted in the just struggle against gold, which played a mainstay role in the civilization of the Han nation! Yue Fei joined hands with the soldiers and civilians who fought against the Jin Dynasty, saving half of the Southern Song Dynasty and protecting the people in the south from the Jin Dynasty, thus preserving China's highly developed economy and culture and enabling it to continue to develop.
