Kin Hai (1090-1155) was an influential Chancellor (then Prime Minister) of the song dynasty. At that time, the Song dynasty in northern China was entangled with the dynasty. In this state, UA Fai was a brave commander. This commander had achieved many military successes against whom. The UA Fai Song was committed to withdraw the lost land of the dynasty.

However, Qin Hua was the second idea and he wanted to show his ability to Emperor Gaozong. So he started filling the ears of the emperor.

Qin Hui made false allegations against UA Fai. He started to prove him a traitor. He betrayed the emperor and told him that who has refused to obey the royal order.

When General Han Shizhong asked what was the crime of UA Fai, Qin Hui gave a vague answer, “Maybe something, it’s not sure” (in Chinese “Mo Shoo You”). These words later became synonymous with false allegations in Chinese language.

The story is that after this UA Fai was arrested in 1142 and was murdered in jail. It is believed that this murder was done. This incident happened and made his wife Wang Xi disgusting in the public eyes. The message was sent to the people that Kin Hua has killed a brave commander in a conspiracy and killed him. It is believed that this conspiracy includes Wang Xi.

Iron sculptures and public anger

After the death of UA Fai, Hangzhou was built in the city of Hangzhou to honor his valor and patriotism.

But what happened to the public and was angry with his wife. In front of this temple to punish them, iron sculptures of Wang Xi and his two colleagues (Moki Shee and Zhang June) were made. These idols are sitting on their knees.

For the last 800 years, people have been spitting, kicking and slapping these idols, so that they can express their anger towards UA Fai and Kin Hua. This tradition became very popular due to unique rituals. Over time, these idols were also replaced.

This place is still an important place for tourists and history lovers, where people remember the story of this historical injustice.
Qin and Wang Xi’s story is alive as an example of betrayal and moral decline in Chinese culture, and her idols are a silent witness to that anger and vengeance.
