Numerous historical facts that many people in Japan did not know at all, and of course numerous historical facts that people around the world did not know at all.
What follows is a continuation of Mr. Huang’s paper. These are numerous historical facts that many people in Japan did not know at all, and of course numerous historical facts that people around the world did not know at all, and they are traditions of China.
The Tang dynasty “Huang Chao Rebellion,” which became controversial even after the founding of the People’s Republic, is said to have resulted in the killing of eight million civilians.
Outside the city of Chang’an, a gigantic pounding fortress was built, and captured civilians were put into these enormous mortars at a rate of one thousand people per day, producing minced human flesh with bones included, and even making dried corpses (jerky) and salted corpses (salted meat) for military provisions.
This account appears not only in the official histories Old Book of Tang, New Book of Tang, and Zizhi Tongjian, but also in the Arab merchant record Stories of India and China.
During the Huang Chao Rebellion, there was also a major massacre in Guangzhou, where Muslim merchants were completely exterminated.
In modern times as well, the massacres of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are often discussed.
In the rebellion of the Tianli sect (White Lotus followers), about one hundred people were massacred in Guangdong.
When Sun Yat-sen established a military government in Guangzhou, “guest armies” (external provincial dog units) stormed in from the north, and Sun Yat-sen, reduced to desperate poverty, carried out the Guangzhou Massacre.
Within the history of Chinese massacres, the people of Shu in Sichuan are even more pitiful than the southern Yue people.
Conquered by Qin, and during the Three Kingdoms period standing as Shu Han against Wei in the Central Plains and Wu in the south, Shu also became the stage of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Although Shu was a remote inland region far from the Central Plains, it was said that “before great chaos under heaven, Shu is the first to fall into disorder, and even after the world is pacified, Shu is still not pacified,” and the people of Shu suffered repeated mass killings by Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, to the extent that the population was sometimes completely replaced.
In the late Ming dynasty, during Zhang Xianzhong’s great massacre (the Slaughter of Shu), four million women alone were killed.
Even after the Xinhai Revolution established the Republic of China, the country plunged into killings more intense than those of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and within a little over a decade, more than five hundred internal wars among the people of Shu occurred.
The well-known literary figure Lin Yutang stated that thirty million people died in just seven years of civil war under the Nationalist Party, and he called such Chinese people “failures” (trash).
A national character of massacring alien races and alien religions.
The Chinese concept of Great Unity absolutely does not permit coexistence or co-prosperity.
Wang Yangming learning, often praised in Japan as a “philosophy of revolution,” is in fact a doctrine of heavenly punishment that justifies the massacre of other ethnic groups.
It is well known that its founder, Wang Yangming, as a military commander, carried out large-scale massacres of non-Han peoples within the country, and proudly justified this by saying he had “carried out heavenly punishment on behalf of Heaven.”
Of course, the exclusivism of Zhu Xi’s Neo-Confucianism is in no way inferior to that of Wang Yangming learning.
To be continued.
