"Taizong Gaozu Zi Shiminshi changed it to Generation, or line, the word from Shi is changed to Cong Yun, or changed to Cong Yi. If the name of the people is changed to people, or to the people, the name of Congmin is changed to the surname of Cong. " (Chen Yuan's "Historical Taboo Examples" No. 76)
Taizong Li Shimin originally considered protecting cultural classics, and in order to avoid the "obsolescence" (missing) of the classics and avoid "corruption", The imperial edict states that "the two names are not taboo." "There are two words "世" and "民" that are not connected to the reader, so there is no need to be taboo. "But he failed to implement it well. People still go their own way and "avoid". The reason, after all, is to maintain the royal face. Taizong's order was issued. Although it is not a show, there is no need to take it too seriously. Therefore, Those who "tabulate" will not be held accountable, and those who do not "tabulate" are logical and beyond reproach.
Probably this is the reason for the ambiguity. People sometimes avoid taboos and sometimes don't. "When it was revised during the reign of Emperor Taizong, there were many people who changed 'Shi' to 'Dai' and 'People' to 'Ren'... However, there are also cases where this is not the case. "Jing Ji Zhi" and "Four Min Monthly Orders" were written 'Four Guys'. However, "Essential Art of Qi Min" still contains the word "people". This is also what the note of "Hanshu" says: "Historical refutation is also a person". ("Rizhilu" ibid.) This is indeed confusing and confusing. I also experienced this situation when reading the poems of Song Zhiwen, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty. Discovery, such as:
(1) "The business is in the capital, and the hometown is far away" ("Guizhou March 3"). Avoid "the world" and replace it with "the world". According to this couplet, he has been working in the capital for generations, but now he has been relegated to this remote and desolate place where mountains, gods and water monsters are often seen.
(2) " The virtuous are praised as national heroes, and the Qingliu are promoted to the next generation." ("Two Elegies of King Fan Yang (Part 1)"). Judai: Jushi, the whole world, the world. Change "Shi" to "Dai". In this couplet, Zhiwen praised King Fanyang, who was posthumously appointed as the prime minister, as a hero in the country. His virtues were high and he was well-known and respected by people all over the world. "The Temple of Sacrifice to Yu") The servants: that is, the common people, the people. For example, in "Shi·Xiaoya·October of October": "The sins of the subordinates are brought down from heaven. ". Zhiwen here changed "people" to "people". The meaning of this sentence is: in the past, floods caused disasters, and ordinary people suffered everywhere.
However, Song Zhiwen also had some taboos. For example There is a sentence in the poem "Shi'an Autumn Day": "The world's career is old and old, and the wonderful years are spent alone and secluded. "Here it is said that generations have admired the learning of Huang and Lao, and he lived a secluded life alone when he was young. During this period, he did not avoid the word "world". It was because he was demoted again that he intentionally broke the taboo to vent his dissatisfaction with the Li Tang clan. I'm afraid he didn't dare to ask, but whether to avoid it or not was not a big problem at that time, and it would not lead to disaster. "According to this, the laws and regulations in the Tang Dynasty were very lenient... It is not like the Chunxi document order of the Song Dynasty, which was widely used to avoid suspicion; the Qianlong character of the Qing Dynasty was used throughout the case, and the crime was as high as the head of the owl. "("Historical Taboo Examples" 76). It seems that the lenient and strict taboo laws of each dynasty are different. The Tang Dynasty was much more lenient than the Song and Qing Dynasties, at least during the period of Taizong Li Shimin.
