词源故事 ETYMOLOGY
公元1142年，秦桧以"莫须有"罪名促成岳飞冤狱，此事被《宋史》列为"自毁长城"的典型案例。明代成化年间，民间开始出现秦桧夫妇跪像，至今在杭州岳王庙前仍保留着历代重铸的铸铁跪像，参观者常有唾骂、拍打等泄愤行为。
在当代网络语境中：
- 时政领域：用于批评亲西方政策者（如"当代秦桧集团"）
- 职场文化：比喻陷害同事的办公室政客（"小心部门的秦桧"）
- 历史讨论：成为奸臣的代名词（"和珅算清代秦桧吗？"）
近年最具争议的案例是2023年某中学历史试卷中出现"评价秦桧"的开放题，引发全网关于历史人物定性的激烈辩论。网友@江山如画 评论："让秦桧站起来，岳飞就会倒下！"
典型例句：

DEFINITION
Core Meaning:
- Notorious chancellor of Southern Song Dynasty (1090-1155), infamous for framing the patriotic general Yue Fei with fabricated charges
- Modern internet usage symbolizes traitors who betray national interests (90% usage)
- Occasionally used as a meme for scapegoats (10% usage)
Cultural context: Like Benedict Arnold in US history, Qin Hui represents ultimate political betrayal. His kneeling statue at Yue Fei's temple has been spat on for 800 years.
ETYMOLOGY
In 1142 AD, Qin Hui orchestrated the wrongful execution of General Yue Fei using the infamous "groundless accusation" (莫须有). This event was recorded in History of Song as the most catastrophic case of political betrayal. Since Ming Dynasty (1465), kneeling statues of Qin Hui and his wife have been installed before Yue Fei's temple, where visitors still spit and curse the statues today.
Modern online usage evolves in three dimensions:
- Political discourse: Labeling pro-Western policymakers as "21st-century Qin Hui clique"
- Workplace metaphor: Referring to backstabbing colleagues ("Watch out for the Qin Hui in accounting")
- Historical debates: Becoming synonymous with treachery ("Was Heshen the Qing Dynasty's Qin Hui?")
A viral 2023 controversy involved a middle school exam asking students to "reassess Qin Hui's legacy," sparking nationwide debates. Netizen @RiverMountains commented: "If Qin Hui stands up, Yue Fei must fall!"
Example usage:
- "Leaking core technologies? You're basically today's Qin Hui!"
- "My proposal got axed again. Wonder which Qin Hui stabbed me in the back."
