Hero and Tyrant:The Image of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Republic of China
Zhu Yuanzhang is an important figure in Chinese history,he has two images in the history books of the Ming and Qing dynasties:one is a Great Emperor,and the other is a cruel tyrant. After entering the modern era,these two images have been injected with new vitality. He was called a national hero with nationalism,because he expelled the Yuan dynasty and restored China,and was called a tyrant by those who sought republic and civil rights because of his brutal rule of autocracy and dictatorship. Both images are closely related to the situation at that time. The national hero image reached its highest point when Japanese army invaded China in an all-round way. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression,due to Chiang Kai-shek's authoritarian dictatorship,the image of his tyrant was more explored. The im-ages of Zhu Yuanzhang hero and tyrant during the Republican period are the embodiment of Nietzsche's monumental history and critical history,respectively. It is not only a reflection of the eternal dialogue between history and reality,but also a reflection of the tension between the pursuit of modernity and historical tradition.
