武则天“扼婴”事件考疑

Textual Criticism of Empress Wu Zetian’s “Strangling Baby”

武则天"扼婴"成为这位杰出女皇一生最残忍的罪恶,使她不仅不能成为伟大女性,而且连普通母亲都不配。在历史上,她成为一个最残忍的母亲,为了政治向上爬,甚至亲手扼杀自己的亲生幼女,连起码的人性都可以不要。从1300多年来的史籍中,这似乎已经成为铁定事实。其实,历史记载有许多不可解释的疑问和矛盾,实际上这只不过是封建文人对这位女皇的强加之罪,原因就在于她是我国历史上唯一的伟大的超凡女皇,这是封建社会男子中心社会所不允许的。通过对多种史料的考证,事件过程的对比,用确切的史实证明,考疑这实在是历史上一件天大冤案:女皇武则天不是一位残忍至极失去母性的人。

The incident of Wu Zetian＇s ＂Strangling Baby＂ is regarded as the outstanding emperess＇s most ruthless crime which denies her an reputation of a great woman, even an ordinary mother. In history, she became a merciless mother.For the sake of her political achievement, she strangled her own baby daughter regardless of the minimum humanity. This seems a virtual certainty according to the historical records of more than 1300 years. Actually historical records are full of many inexplicable doubts and conflicts, which are the imposed crime by those feudal men of letters since she was the only remarkable female monarch in Chinese history, which is unpermitted in the male-dominated feudal society.Based on the textual criticism of various historical materials and the comparison of the processes of the incident, this paper holds that this incident is genuinely a greatest injustice in history through the testimony of accrate historical facts.Thus Empress Wu Zetian is not at all a ruthless female without maternity.
