Since at least around 2005, there have been news reports that Qin Juniper's descendants have asked the relevant departments to give Qin Juniper a proper name. At that time, the main force of society was the post-75 generation, and its thinking was more traditional, so it was ridiculous to ask for this request of the descendants of Qin Juniper. Now that it is 2020, the post-90s have become the main force of society, and the post-90s are known for their freedom of thought and dare to question, and in this environment, the historical positioning of Qin Juniper has also begun to be questioned: for example, many netizens believe that the decision-makers who advocate being subject to the Jin Dynasty and making the decision to kill Yue Fei are the Southern Song Emperor, not Qin Juniper, the "big butler", so Qin Juniper is wronged.
So, qin juniper's descendants asked for the abolition of the kneeling posture, is this request reasonable?
Personally, I think:
Hype
Qin Juniper died in the twenty-fifth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1155 in the Western Calendar), 865 years ago. Xiaobian believes that ordinary people worship ancestors, generally sacrifice "three generations of ancestors", a small number of ancestors will sacrifice to the "eight generations of ancestors", and for the ancestors of eight centuries ago, I believe that no one will sacrifice - in the past, feudal emperors worshiped ancestors, and not all ancestors were sacrificed together. Therefore, this request made by Qin Juniper's descendants alone gives people a suspicion of speculation.
Cultural symbols
In fact, in the history of the mainland, qin juniper, as the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, in the cultural symbols of the mainland, Qin juniper means a traitor. In other words, from the perspective of cultural symbols, Qin Juniper is no longer just a minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, but a symbol.
There are many similar examples of Qin Juniper in the history of the mainland:
For example, Cao Cao, the Emperor of Weiwu, was known as a heroic and brilliant man who was upside down, but was portrayed as a "white-faced traitor" in opera culture;
For example, the Northern Song Dynasty minister Pan Mei, because he was yang ye's chief official, as a result, Yang Ye died in the northern Song Dynasty's war against the Khitans, Pan Mei was portrayed by opera as the image of the traitor "Pan Renmei", and in the mainland folk, the surname Of Pan and the surname of Yang did not marry each other, and in fact, Yang Ye's death was not caused by Pan Mei;
Another example is the northern Song Dynasty famous minister Pang Yuan, in the Song Renzong dynasty, foiled many plots of the Western Xia king Li Yuanhao against the Great Song, which caused Li Yuanhao and even the entire Western Xia royal court a headache, which can be called a generation of capable subjects, but in the opera, Pang Yuan was shaped into the image of the traitorous minister "Pang Taishi", and also derived a series of stories such as Bao Gongzhi fighting Pang Taishi.
In fact, there are great differences between Pang Zhi and other people in history and Pang Zhi and others in culture, but they have not seen the descendants of Pan Mei, Pang Bi and others come out to demand that works such as "The Case of GongMei" and "Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses" be banned and their ancestors be justified. From this point of view, this request of Qin Juniper's descendants is suspected of being unreasonable.
What's more, Qin Juniper's "cultural symbol" as a traitor has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and allowing Qin Juniper to kneel down to Yue Fei is even more a manifestation of the values of resisting traitors. If Qin Juniper can stand up, then where is the national cohesion? In the future, if the country encounters danger, what will it rely on to unite people's hearts and minds? To deter villains?
