Why can't people in the Tang Dynasty see the word "tiger"? What is the reason?

I don’t know if you know the history. People in the Tang Dynasty could not see the character "Hu". This is because there was a man named Li Hu, and after his death, he was honored as Emperor Jing, and his temple name was Tai. Ancestor. You must know that in the past, the emperor's name was very taboo. Ordinary people or other ministers could not call him by his first name, nor could he write it out. Otherwise, if he was discovered, he would be thrown into jail and face the death penalty. .

In fact, the editor wants to say that as long as young friends who have a little understanding of history know that no matter which dynasty it is, the emperor's name cannot be called directly. Moreover, when naming ministers, including ordinary people, they must completely avoid words that are the same as the emperor's name. Many people think that Li Hu is not the emperor, so he can ignore it or not abide by this rule. But everyone must understand that although Li Hu never became emperor during his lifetime and died relatively young, Li Hu's descendants were very capable, so after Li Hu's death, he enjoyed the treatment and honor of the emperor.

And neither the name of a person nor the name of a place can appear in the character "虎". Therefore, Hulao Pass near Luoyang was changed to Wulao Pass by Li Shimin, and Hulin Gate in Hangzhou was also changed to Wulin Gate. It is precisely because the Tang Dynasty was very taboo about tigers that they all renamed tigers Wu. The name of the animal tiger was also changed to a big insect or beast. I believe that through the editor's introduction, everyone has a corresponding understanding of this issue. The same is true for other dynasties. Each dynasty has a word that everyone avoids.

Because the regulations of the Tang Dynasty were relatively strict, once the character "tiger" appeared, the punishment faced was still relatively serious. Even if someone was thrown into prison, they would still face severe torture. You must know that the emperor is a leader, so he has a corresponding code name or title. Moreover, the emperor is deeply respected and loved by the common people, so in order to express his respect for the emperor, he will usually be honored as emperor.
