believes that you must have a very deep understanding of Cai Lun when you watched a TV series or a history book in elementary school. Everyone is very impressed with the papermaking technique he invented and thinks that he is an out-and-out great person, but you know ? Sometimes, history is the easiest to deceive. If you look at Cai Lun from the current perspective, the truth will definitely open your eyes to you. Then, how despicable is the real Cai Lun?
First of all, he became an eunuch when he entered the palace in AD 75, which is similar to the eunuch we are familiar with. Perhaps because of his ability to speak, he soon got into trouble with Queen Dou. When he was on Dou’s side, he He has done a lot of bad things. For example, according to historical records, Bang Dou's framed the love rival Song Guiren at that time, and forced the latter to die with grievances. This is not the first good thing he did!
Later, Cai Lun also gained the trust of Dou, and made great progress all the way. For a time, he became a regular attendant in the official position. Do you think people are very good to Dou? Then you are too naive. Later, after Dou burped, people immediately found a home for him, which was the queen Deng Sui. It was precisely because of the queen’s side that he improved the papermaking technique and became famous. Baishi, but the reason why he improved papermaking is very likely to please the new master at that time.
But something he didn't expect happened. It was the same year he invented papermaking. His new master died. The new emperor was the grandson of the nobleman who was framed and died. Although, the queen at the time When Deng Sui was alive, he could still protect him, but I didn't expect this Empress Deng to belch. After Emperor Han'an took office, the first thing he did was to settle the accounts of the year with him.
Cai Lun was interrogated because of what happened back then. Of course, the emperor was also a wise man. He directly ordered Cai Lun to confess his guilt on the court's side. Cai Lun knew that he was dead, so he took the first step and killed himself. Throughout his life, from the current point of view, Cai Lun has deserved his sins in his life. After all, he has done his sins in the past, and he will eventually have to pay for it. Is this really the case?
When we studied history, there was a saying, "You can’t look at things in ancient times with your current eyes." In fact, in that dynasty, if Cai Lun didn’t do this, I’m afraid Cai Lun would never survive the invention of papermaking. In this way, the dynasty had a reputation for generations. In the dynasties at that time, Cai Lun could not live without any brains. Therefore, I think that Cai Lun’s doing this is understandable!
