Kangxi refused to kneel to Confucius, and the minister covered the word 1 with a cloth, why did Kang

The inscription on the tombstone of Confucius is "Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan King" - Kangxi Gui is the emperor of a country and the monarch of the country. In Kangxi's heart, Confucius was just a respected teacher, and it would be extremely inappropriate to kneel down to the "king" on the tombstone. And when the word "Wang" on the tombstone was covered, Kangxi had no scruples and could bow down.

There is a character on the tombstone of Confucius, which is the word "Wang". Confucius was called "the most holy Wenxuan King of Dacheng", and it was impossible for the emperor to kneel to the king.

Because there is a word "Wang" on the tombstone of Confucius, Kangxi was very eye-catching when he saw it. There is only one king in the whole world, and that is Kangxi. Although Confucius was a sage, he was now the dynasty of the Qing Dynasty.

It was to cover the word Wang with a cloth, and Kangxi felt that he had regained his face, so he was willing to kneel.

It was the word "Wang" on Confucius's tombstone that was stamped, and Kangxi knelt.

Because the emperor's status is higher than that of the king, Kangxi will not be embarrassed because of his status after covering it, he is worshipping a saint.

No, because the king is not as good as the emperor, there is no need for Kangxi to kneel in terms of status, but after covering it, he is simply worshipping a saint.

That's because Kangxi saw that the tombstone was engraved with a king, and Kangxi thought that I can't kneel for another king.

Because when Kangxi first went to the sacrifice, he saw the word "king" on the tombstoneBut Kangxi was the emperor at that time, so he felt very angry and was reluctant to bow down, but later Confucius's descendants covered up that word, and Kangxi bowed.

Kangxi led the hundred officials to worship Confucius after he went out on tour to the palaceBecause the status of Confucius has become higher and higher since the Tang DynastySo Kangxi felt that he should also go to worship, so he went to the mausoleum of Confucius.

Originally, according to the rules at that time, even if the emperor went, he had to kneel down to worship Confucius's mausoleum, so after Kangxi went, the entourage laid a carpet in front of Confucius's tombstone, and also placed the things needed for the sacrificeBut they didn't expect Kangxi to walk motionless in front of Confucius's tombstone, and he had been staring at something, looking very unhappy.

At this time, Confucius's descendant Kong Shangren already knew what Kangxi was watching, because Confucius's tombstone said "Dacheng to Wenxuan King", and it was because of this "king" that Kangxi was unwilling to worshipSo Kong Shangren covered the last word with a yellow cloth, and it became "Dacheng Zhiwenxuan"., although there was only one word missing, Kangxi was satisfied, so he bowed to the mausoleum of Confucius.

And according to the later "Kangxi Living Note", Kangxi only recognized the title of Confucius and did not recognize his title of "king".This sentence is "The most holy way runs parallel with the sun and the moon, and the same fortune with heaven and earth. ”Therefore, Kangxi was reluctant to kneel when worshipping the tomb of Confucius, but was willing to kneel after covering the last word.

covered a king character, because Kangxi is the emperor, the emperor naturally can't kneel and kowtow to the king, because the emperor is above the king, and if he covers the king, then Confucius is not the identity of the king, but a saint, so Kangxi can kneel and kowtow happily.

Because there is a king on the tombstone. Kangxi, as the king of a country, is of course higher than the king. So how could he possibly kneel for him? After covering the word Wang, Kangxi regarded Confucius as a teacher. There is a reason to kneel.

Cover a king word: Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan King has become Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan, apprentice does not worship the king, worship the king and let an emperor put face?

It's just a story, and it's not very credible. In fact, the king before the first emperor was the Son of Heaven, which was different from the kings of later generations.

The king character of "Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan King".

Confucius was only a Confucian scholar, and had no political status.

Cover a king character: Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan King has become Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan, for Kangxi, the king is lower than his status, and he is unwilling to bow down.

He hurriedly stepped forward and led Kangxi aside to rest, and covered the tombstone with a yellow cloth with a king character. And when Kangxi returned, he immediately knelt down and bowed.

Confucius's nickname is King Wenxuan, but the identity of the emperor cannot bow down to a king, so Confucius's descendant Kong Shangren covered King Wenxuan with yellow silk.

The three characters of King Wenxuan in the "Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan King" on the tombstone of Confucius were covered with yellow silk and the word "Ancestor" was written.

It turns out that in the eyes of the emperor, he is the biggest emperor in the world, how can he kneel to other kings? And this clever ** is precisely because he sees through the emperor's mind that he will have such a move.

Others covered the king of Confucius, and he knelt down, a means.

Because Kangxi is higher than Confucius's status, there are some places that must be covered.

I feel that Confucius should be covered, so Kangxi will agree.

** Covering his eyes, Kangxi agreed to worship Confucius.

It should have covered other spiritual positions, so Kangxi went to worship, because Kangxi was a king.

If Confucius is covered, it will not be visible, and it will be solved, and then Kangxi will not feel other problems that are not suitable.

This man covered the portrait of Confucius with this cloth, and thus solved the problem.

Seeing that Emperor Kangxi was not moving in front of the stele, a careful eunuch saw Kangxi's thoughts, so he stepped forward to help Emperor Kangxi to rest, and at the same time found a few pieces of cloth to cover a word on the tombstone. After Kangxi saw it, he began to bow three times and bow nine times in front of the monument of Sage Kong.

This person he covered the words of Confucius with a piece of cloth, and words like this were invisible, so the problem was solved.
