There is no tablet in Ganling, which was erected by Wu Zetian. Ganling, located 50 kilometers northwest of Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, is on the east side of Sima Road in Ganling, bordering Tuque in the north, Weng Zhong in the south and the sacred site in the west. Magnificent, magnificent.
Ganling, located in Liangshan, 6 kilometers north of Ganxian County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, is the burial tomb of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. There are two huge stone tablets in front of the tomb, one in the west is called "sacred tablet", and the other in the east is Wu Zetian's wordless tablet. The "memorial tablet" is a tablet erected by Wu Zetian to praise Gao Zong. She also personally wrote more than 5,000 words of inscriptions, blacked out and filled with gold powder. On the east side is Wu Zetian's wordless tablet.
The tablet without words was named after the original tablet was not engraved with a word.
Four interpretations of Yan Xi Bei without words;
The first view is that Wu Zetian's "tablet without words" is used to brag and show his boundless merits.
The second view is that Wu Zetian set up a "wordless tablet" because she knew that she was guilty of a heinous crime and felt that it was better not to write an inscription.
The third view is that Wu Zetian is a self-aware person, and it is smart to set up a monument without words. It is the best way for future generations to comment on merits and demerits. Because Wu Zetian has both positive and negative aspects.
Fourth: In order to maintain Taoist rule and prevent Confucianism from coming to power, the blood of Confucian scholars is a river. Wu Zetian knew that most of history was written by Confucianism. If this monument is not erected, the reputation of that generation of queens will be completely black.
