“亡秦者胡也”新解

A New Interpretation of“HU Wiped out the Qin Dynasty”

"亡秦者胡也"中的"胡",既不是指当时的少数民族———匈奴,更不是指秦二世胡亥,而是暗指秦朝,是时人对秦朝的蔑称,反映了不堪忍受秦朝暴政,渴望秦朝灭亡的诅咒心理。

The prophecy said ' HU wiped out the Qin Dynasty'.HU is neither XIONG NU nation,nor HU HAI,the 2nd Emperor in Qin Dynasty.In fact,Qin is considered HU,meaning barbaric,in people's minds at that time.The prophecy reflects a psychological curse on the tyranny of Qin and hopes the demise of the Qin Dynasty as quickly as possible.
