What are some interesting epitaphs in history?

Robespierre's black humor Let's talk about Robespierre's life first, I guess some brothers don't know much about it, this guy was one of the leaders of the French Revolution, and he was definitely a man of the hour at the time. A bit of cold knowledge is that before the outbreak of the Revolution, there were also differences among the group, and some people did not advocate a king, thinking that a constitutional monarchy was a good idea.

The other group is naturally the type of life and death, which means that either the king dies or we die, because this group of people often meets in a club called Jacobins, so they are called Jacobins. Robespierre was the representative of the Jacobins.

In fact, Robespierre did not participate much in the revolt, but after the revolt, he strongly demanded the execution of King Louis XVI and his wife, and opened the killing ring in the subsequent reign, and was finally guillotined after a coup d'état. Therefore, the epitaph of this goods was not written by himself, but was just a complaint by others about him, and its content is as follows:

Do not mourn for me, passers-by, for if I live, none of you will live.

The last wish of a real cowboy is that there is a nondescript grave in Logan Cemetery in Cash County, Utah, USA, and the guy buried in it is called Russell James Larsen, and the life of this brother is no longer verifiable, except that he joined the Navy during World War II and became an anachronistic cowboy after retiring.

The brief biography hasn't stopped his grave from becoming an internet celebrity check-in spot, as it has some of the most humorous epitaphs in Utah, and it's safe to assume that the epitaph is Larsen's own brainchild and that he has a cult love of cowboy life. Mr. Larsen's epitaph is as follows:

The last complaint of the gay man is that the protagonist of this story is Leonard Matlovich, a brave soldier who was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star during the long Vietnam War, despite his rank as a sergeant, but an accidental injury changed his life.

While recuperating in the United States, this guy discovered his true desire, and he finally understood that true love between men was true, so he brazenly entered the palace of homosexuality, and was on the cover of Time magazine. It's just that the army didn't understand this noble emotion, and directly kicked him out of the army, and Leonard didn't take back his life until he died of AIDS. So poor Leonard wrote himself this epitaph:

When I joined the army, they gave me a medal for killing two people; Then I fell in love with someone and they fired me.

Epitaphs that I find interesting include: the German mathematician Rudolph invented the value of pi and engraved it on his tombstone. The epitaph of the British writer Ernest Hemingway is, forgive me, and so on.

In history, there are many interesting epitaphs, for example, Wu Zetian's tombstone does not have any words on it; The epitaph of Louis XVI and his wife was to hope that passers-by would not grieve for him, saying that if he were alive, we would not be alive.

I think the most interesting epitaph should be Wu Zetian, because Wu Zetian's tombstone does not write anything, her purpose is to let future generations evaluate, I think this is really interesting.

Epitaph is a brief introduction to the life deeds of the deceased written in or on the grave, especially for great or memorable people, whose tombs often have epitaphs, and there are such customs in China and the West, in addition to the ancient Chinese sacrificial texts, lines of writing. But epitaphs are no longer popular in modern China. Han Yushan wrote an epitaph.

Han Yuwen is becoming more and more famous, and dignitaries often ask him to write epitaphs for his ancestors, and the pen is very high, and Han Yu does not refuse to come. Generally speaking, epitaphs are written in rhyme, both in China and the West, but there are exceptions, such as Han Yu's "Liu Zihou's Epitaph", which is a non-rhymed prose. Famous epitaph Han Yu:

Try the epitaph of Wang Jun of Dali Commentator, "Epitaph of Zhang Jun of Qinghe", "Epitaph of Liu Zihou", "Epitaph of Mr. Zhenyao", "Epitaph of Fan Shaoshu of Nanyang" Huangfu Xiang: "Epitaph of Mr. Chang Lihan".

That is, it is a tombstone with a fruit position nail left on the life of the day: born in 1995. Died in 2995 (only of course, I don't know how to write about Shaoye.)
