EntertainmentWhy did Vo Tac Thien hold wood in his mouth when he died?
Instead of using jade like kings and members of the royal family, Vo Tac Thien held a piece of wood in his mouth when he died. This makes many people curious about the reason.
During the feudal period in China, the burial practices of the emperor, concubines, and members of the royal family and aristocrats were extremely complicated. Among these is the fact that after death, the deceased's body often puts a piece of jade or night pearl in its mouth. Emperor Qianlong, Empress Dowager Cixi. did so. However, Vo Tac Thien made another choice.
The piece of wood in Vo Tac Thien's mouth carries the effect of poison ivy.
According to historical records, after his death, in the mouth of Vo Tac Thien put a piece of wood instead of jade or night pearl like everyone else. The researchers said that Vo Tac Thien was the only one who made such a choice. From here, they were curious why this queen did such a thing?
Therefore, experts conduct research to unravel this mystery. The ancients believed that putting jade and night pearls in the mouth of the dead would help the deceased continue to live a prosperous life in the afterlife. In addition, night pearls placed in the mouth of the dead are said to help the deceased's body not to decompose. Is it because Vo Tac Thien does not follow this because she does not want to continue her royal life in the afterlife and help the body to remain intact over time?
Experts say that the reason Vo Tac Thien does the opposite of everyone is related to the wordless stele in front of her tomb.
Vo Tac Thien's life is considered both meritorious and sinful. During her time in power, this queen faced many compliments - mixed criticism. Therefore, before his death, Vo Tac Thien let him make a stele without words for later people to judge right and wrong. Stemming from this, the piece of wood placed in Vo Tac Thien's mouth after her death also has the same meaning.
Early Chinese histories were written on "mu poison" (bamboo card) and "bamboo" (wooden card). Therefore, the piece of wood in Vo Tac Thien's mouth carries the effect of poison ivy.
After his death, Vo Tac Thien held a wooden card in his mouth and went to the afterlife with the implication to let ghosts and gods evaluate. This is said to be the mettle and bravery of the only female emperor in Chinese history.
