Why is "the mother of Meng" the first of the four ancient mothers of the virtuous? What does Meng mother tell us?

Why is "Mencius mother" the first of the four virtuous mothers in ancient times? What does Mencius mother San Qian tell us?

Mencius' mother moved three times is a small story in ancient China. It tells the story of Mencius' mother moving many times in order to cultivate her children. The reason why she moved is because the environment where she lives is not suitable for children's study. Children are easily affected by the outside world. So Mencius' mother searched many times and finally found the most suitable place. Do you understand what this story tells you?

Mencius' mother moved three times, that is, Mencius' mother moved many times in order to choose a good environment to educate her children. "Three Character Classic" says: "the mother of Mencius in the past, choose a neighbor.". This is the origin of Meng Mu's three migrations. Mencius' mother, in order to make her children have a really good education environment, took great pains to move to two or three places. Now it is sometimes used to refer to the parents' painstaking efforts to cultivate their children.

Idiom story

During the Warring States period, a great university asked Mencius. Mencius was very naughty when he was young. His mother spent a lot of effort in order to give him a good education. Once, they lived next to the cemetery. Mencius and his neighbor's children learned to kneel down and cry, and played the game of funeral. When Mencius' mother saw it, she frowned, "no! I can't let my children live here!"

Mencius' mother took Mencius to live next to the market. When he arrived at the market, Mencius and his neighbor's children learned to be businessmen. The mother of Mencius frowned and said, "this place is not suitable for my children to live in!" so they moved again.

This time, they moved near the school. Mencius became orderly, polite and fond of reading. At this time, Mencius' mother nodded her head with satisfaction and said, "this is where my son should live." later, people used "Mencius' mother moved three times" to say that people should get close to good people, things and things in order to learn good habits!

Why didn't Zhou Gong's black shoulder hair succeed?

The monarchs of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are rarely recorded in history books except those who founded the country. In the age of stars, when the princes and powerful generals came and went, the talented people would go to those who had a bright future. By the time they arrived, there were few people available in the royal family. Even the Guo family was declining because of the rebellion of the previous dynasty.

At this time, the people who can be used by the king of Zhouzhuang are very few. During the period of King Zhouzhuang's father, he once presided over a big battle. Among them, King Huan of Zhou was in charge of the central army, father Lin of Guo Gong was in charge of the right army, and father Lin was in charge of the left army. These two men were obviously the most important ministers of the Zhou royal family. Later, Lin Fu, the Duke of Guo, was driven out of the capital by King Huan of Zhou, leaving black shoulder of Duke Zhou, which is a good legacy for his son, King Zhouzhuang.

King Zhouzhuang is the eldest son, and belongs to the orthodoxy of inheriting the throne. However, while inheriting the throne, Duke Zhouzhuang also inherited the grievances of his ancestors. In fact, King Huan didn't like his son. What king Huan liked was his other son, Jike. It doesn't matter. After all, he is the eldest son. King Zhouzhuang doesn't have to worry about Jike. What's important is that Duke Zhou's black shoulder and Jike got mixed up.

When it comes to Zhou Gong's black shoulder, we have to talk about the battle between Zhou and Zheng a few years ago. The left army of Duke Zhou's black shoulder was mainly Chen's army. Although the left army was the first one to be defeated by the state of Zheng, it was also the cause of the collapse of the whole army of the Zhou royal family. As a defeated general, Duke Zhou's black shoulder was not denounced by the emperor, which was enough to show the lack of Royal talents. Chen was the most likely vassal to establish an alliance with Duke Zhou Heijian.

Then, if Duke Zhou Heijian wants to help Jike usurp the throne, he must seek the help of the state of Chen. As a close Minister of King Huan of Zhou, Duke Zhou Hei shoulder should know the mind of the emperor. This is the reason why Duke Zhou Hei shoulder wanted to go against the heaven.

The state of Chen is not a powerful country. This is a time when Chen is in turmoil in the palace. He is often too busy to help the Duke of Zhou. The most important thing is that although the Zhou royal family was in decline, the king of Zhouzhuang was not a soft persimmon. He had seen the conspiracy of Duke Zhou Heijian for a long time and began to prepare for a rainy day.

King Zhouzhuang saw that since three generations, the state of Jin and the state of Zheng supported by the royal family of Zhou has become increasingly powerful. Moreover, the two countries are very close to the king of Zhou. They always let him eat tasteless, sleep sleepless, and see the world. The distant state of Qi seems to be a good choice, and the state of Qi is also a potential stock.

With the help of the relationship with Lu, King Zhouzhuang married his sister to Qi. The royal family of Zhou and the state of Qi have always been related by marriage, which is even more intimate. Especially in this period of war, the decision of King Zhouzhuang was very accurate. The conspiracy of Jike was not revealed soon, and his faction was destroyed by King Zhouzhuang. Even Jike had no place to escape.

I, with the help of distant friends, with the help of the alliance like beauty, just at this time Zheng and Jin entered troubled times, Zhou royal family seems to have the hope of rising again.

Why did civil unrest occur during the reign of the Song Dynasty?

What was the cause of civil strife in the period of song pinggong? How did it settle down in the end?

The chaos began at the end of Qingping. The Huayuan family, led by pinggong of Song Dynasty, has become the largest powerful official family in Song Dynasty. After the chaos of Sima Tangshan and Yushi in pinggong period of Song Dynasty, the monarch of Song Dynasty was completely checked and balanced by the family of powerful officials. In Song pinggong's later years, Xiang Xu, a senior official, seized the opportunity of the times. After planning, he successfully held a meeting of the warlords led by Jin and Chu in the capital of Song state. The brief peace of the Central Plains came. What the warlords gave in was to admit that Jin and Chu were the common overlord. This period was also a headache for the Central Plains. When there was only one overlord, they had to deal with one Overlord. After this meeting, the princes needed to consult Jin and Chu for any major decisions. As the middle zone of Jin and Chu's hegemony, the state of song not only enjoyed the media role of bilateral diplomacy, but also maintained the stability of the state of song to some extent.

With the help of this meeting, Xiang Xu, a senior official, obviously controlled part of the power in the state of song within a few years, and became an important family among the courtiers in the state of song. He even shared the power of the court with the Fahrenheit family. Hua Xiang, Hua Ding, Hua Hai and Xiang Ning were all the ministers of the state of song. After the death of Song Ping Gong, Song Yuan Gong succeeded to the throne, and the two families monopolized the military and political power in Song state. In song, yuan and A.D., the state of Chu attacked the state of CAI, and it was Hua Hai who sent reinforcements to save the state of CAI. Later, Huading was the diplomatic envoy of the marriage between song and Lu. Xiang Xu obviously took off his family and married his daughter to the monarch of the state of Fei in the policy of eliminating the army. That is to say, even if he could not stay in the state of song, he could have a good time in the state of Fei. However, we should know that most of the small countries in the spring and autumn and Warring States period lived in the middle of the big countries. A few years later, the army of the state of Fei invaded the state of Fei, and Xiang Xu asked the Duke of song and yuan for help. The Duke of song and Yuan was obviously very kind to Xiang Jia. He immediately sent soldiers to attack the state of Fei, and successfully persuaded the state of Fei.

The Duke of the song and Yuan Dynasties, of course, realized that this kind of powerful officials filled the court, and gradually presented the threat of overhead princes, so he later rejected Fahrenheit and Xiang, and even began to support other courtiers in the court, with the purpose of dividing the power of powerful officials and strengthening the monarchical power. This idea from the heart of the monarch, it is difficult to escape the prediction of the power ministers. In the 10th year of the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasties, Hua Hai lured all the princes of the song state into their homes and detained them. Where these respectable princes could bear such insults, they would naturally curse in prison, which made Hua Hai angry and killed all the seven princes. What's more, he imprisoned Xiang Sheng and Xiang Xing, the followers of the princes, in the barn. What can be seen here is that the Fahrenheit family and the Xiang family are not monolithic, and there are also differences of opinion between the two families because of their political position.

Such a big event happened in Song Dynasty, and the sons of the Gong nationality died. Naturally, the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasties could not stand by and went to the house of Huahai to seek affection. The negotiations between the two sides may not be thorough, but only to reach peace between the two sides, and finally to end the meeting with the concession of the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasties. Luan, the prince of the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasty, and his brother, Chen and Gongzi, came to the house of Hua Hai to become hostages. The son of Hua Hai, Xiang Ning's son Xiang Luo and Huading's son Hua Qi, became the hostage of the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasties. The exchange of hostages between the princes and the courtiers may be unique to the Song Dynasty, and only this is the case in the spring and autumn and Warring States. The civil unrest of the sons of the Gong nationality in Song Dynasty is no longer a mere bud, but a bigger accident is about to occur.

"Zuozhuan": "the song and Yuan dynasties have no faith and more private. "I didn't know what the Duke thought about it. When he knew that there was a gap between Huashi and Xiang family, we should make good use of this relationship, but they detained the sons of both the power ministers in the palace. It was obviously very unfavorable for him, but the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasty probably didn't realize the problem at all. After the decision of the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasties, the Fahrenheit outside and Xiang Shi formed a pure alliance. Most of the loyal officials around the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasties were not allowed to be insulted. They conspired with the Duke of song and Yuan Dynasties to kill all the hostages, and then attacked Huashi and Xiang Shi with the army. Obviously, the two families had not expected song and Yuan Gong's actions to come so quickly, and they could only escape from abroad. Song and Yuan Gong belong to those who don't die without the heart of the Yellow River, which can be said to be indecisive. The behavior of the two families has violated the criminal law, even if Zhulian nine ethnic groups can. But song and Yuan Gong did not kill both people, and those who did not flee from abroad were treated well to their sons. Song Dynasty is about to become a battlefield, who can block.

Some of the Fahrenheit family came to Wu and some to Chu state, and many forces formed revenge circle around the Song Dynasty. The army of Huadeng first returned to the Song Dynasty and won successive victories. The Song Dynasty just found the army at the border of Qi and Song Dynasties to rescue. However, the war was not smooth. Song and yuan even wanted to escape for several times. Fortunately, Cao state of Jin and other countries also came to rescue the song state. The troops led by Huadeng were besieged by the Allied forces. Huadeng went to Chu for help. At that time, Chu was in turmoil. Wu Zixu just came to the state of song with his prince. When he saw the chaos of the Song Dynasty, he also understood that the state of song could not wait for a long time and then transferred to Zheng State.

And the trip of Huadeng to Chu state obviously stimulated Chu state. The chaos in Central Plains did not have the opportunity of Chu state, which obviously did not conform to its dominant position. So Chu sent envoys to the state of Song Dynasty, and pressed the song state to form a reconciliation with the Xiang family of Huashi. The joint army of the princes and the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were still under the restriction of the policy of eliminating the army. Moreover, as the overlord, Chu had the absolute voting power. The internal chaos of the Song Dynasty was now subsided, while Fahrenheit He Xiang family could not continue to stay in Song Dynasty, and he went to Chu state in exile.

What is the historical story behind the idiom "celebrating my father's death, but not Lu's death"?

"Qingfu does not die, Lu has not been" you may have heard, literally means that this guy named Qingfu does not die, Lu's disaster will not stop. So who is this guy? Why does he create disaster to Lu like a demon? This involves a human tragedy of adultery between uncle and sister-in-law.

Let's take a look at Qingfu's life experience first. He is the half brother of Lu zhuanggong, the king of the state of Lu. Zhuang Gong has three younger brothers, Qingfu is the biggest, and the other two are Shuya and Jiyou. Zhuang Gong married AI Jiang, the daughter of the king of Qi (it is recorded that her father is Qi Fu Gong, but later generations should be Qi Xiang Gong or Qi Huan Gong). When AI Jiang married, he took a younger sister as a dowry. Later Aijiang was made queen, but she never had a child. Her sister gave birth to a son, called childe Qi. Zhuang Gong also had two sons. They were Gongzi ban and Gongzi Shen, both of whom were born of common people. Of the three sons, Zhuang Gong's favorite is childlike.

When Zhuang Gong was still alive, Qing's father secretly had an affair with AI Jiang, and Qing's father was tyrannical and cruel. Zhuang Gong was dissatisfied with him all the time. Later, Duke Zhuang was seriously ill and knew that time was running out, so he had to plan for his son. Because he was not happy with his father, and he was afraid that his father would act recklessly after his death, he went to the other two younger brothers to discuss the future affairs. Uncle Ya was the first one to look for. Who knows that uncle Ya has been in collusion with Qingfu for a long time. At this time, he strongly recommended Qingfu to succeed to the throne of the state of Lu. It must be that Duke Zhuang was very ill at that time, otherwise he would have slapped his younger brother in the face. After driving away his uncle's teeth, Duke Zhuang went to find his fourth younger brother Ji you. Ji you was more realistic and understood his elder brother's meaning, so he patted his chest to ensure that he would help him succeed as a young master. Hearing his younger brother say so, Zhuang Gong put down his heart and died peacefully.

Because Qingfu is powerful and cunning, Ji you doesn't want to attack him directly, so he designs to poison his followers to isolate Qingfu, and announces the emperor's edict to ascend the throne like a childe. As soon as Qingfu saw that the spearhead was pointing at him, how could he wait to die. He bought a Mangfu who raised a horse and killed him during the funeral. Ji you saw that the goods were too cruel and fled to the state of Chen for refuge. Qingfu must have wanted to be king himself, but the state of Qi wanted to support the son Qi, who was born to AI Jiang's younger sister, because the child was bleeding from the people of Qi after all. AI Jiang is fond of her adulterer lover, but childe Qi is also her nephew. Qingfu wants to make childe Qi a cover, and she readily agrees. So Prince Qi inherited the throne, which was Duke Lu min.

How can a puppet take charge of state affairs? State affairs are not controlled by Qing Fu. Duke Huan of Qi sent people to the state of Lu to learn about the situation. The report he got was that if Qingfu was not removed, the disaster of the state of Lu would not end. Sure enough, just over a year later, he thought that a monarch was in the way, and eventually he couldn't live with AI Jiang. In addition, he had the heart of usurping the throne, so Qingfu killed Lu Min Gong. AI Jiang, an obscene woman, just wanted to be nice to Qingfu, so that she could not care about the country and the country. At the beginning, he vowed to protect Ji you like a childe. At this time, he took childe Shen to flee to other countries for refuge, which saved some blood for Duke Zhuang.

However, Qingfu was too reckless. He didn't consider the resentment of Lu people and the idea of overlord Qi. He is now killing the grandson of Duke Huan of Qi. How can the state of Qi give up? Seeing that Duke Huan of Qi is going to make trouble, and the people of Qi are going to revolt against him, Qingfu quickly fled to the state of Ju, and Aijiang also fled to the state of Ying. Anyway, the state of Ju and the state of Ying are adjacent. It's convenient for them to have an intimate relationship, and the public opinion is not so strong.

Seeing Qingfu's departure and the domestic vacuum, Ji you takes his son Shen back to China and supports him to the top, that is, Duke Lu. Ji you sent someone to bribe the monarch of the state of Ju. The state of Ju is ready to extradite Qingfu to the state of Lu. Qingfu sent someone to ask for help from Ji you. He was refused and had to hang himself. And his AI Jiang was also regarded by Duke Huan of Qi as a disgrace to his family. He had no courage to disobey the important people of Ying State. AI Jiang died on his way home, saying that he hanged himself. After all, the adulterants killed themselves.

What are the outcomes of the four princes of the Warring States period? Whose end is the worst?

Among the "four princes of the Warring States period", Huang Xie, the emperor of Chunshen, died the worst. In his early years, he accompanied Chu Prince Xiong Wan as a hostage in the state of Qin for more than ten years. When the king of Chu was critically ill, he sent someone to the state of Qin to beg the king to put back Prince Xiong wan to inherit the throne, but the king of Qin refused. At this time, Huang Xie came forward to lobby the king of Qin. He is wise, first said to the king of Qin: King, you first let me go back to see if the king of Chu is really critically ill. The king of Qin felt reasonable, so he agreed to his request. Huang xiedang exchanged clothes with the prince and let him escape from the state of Qin. After returning to the state of Chu, Prince Xiong became king kaolie of Chu.

When the king of Qin learned that the prince had fled back to the state of Chu, he found out the cause and effect of the incident. He was furious and wanted to kill Huang Xie. Huang Xie is very resourceful and has already taken measures: he bribed Qin Zhao's beloved wife and Qin Xiang Fan Ju with a lot of money in advance. So he got a chance to escape to Chu. Because he shared life and death with king kaolie of Chu before, he made great contributions to his return to the state. So he became the Prime Minister of Chu.

When he was Prime Minister of Chu state, he made great achievements. He once convinced the king of Chu to send troops to help the state of Zhao solve the siege of Handan. Later, he personally led the Northern Expedition and destroyed the state of Lu. Because the concubines of King kaolie of Chu had not been pregnant for a long time, Huang Xiejing presented many beautiful women to King kaolie of Chu for the sake of the country of Chu. The purpose is to let these beauties continue the descendants for the king of Chu, and let the state of Chu have the heir to the throne. However, contrary to our wishes, these beauties' stomachs are not bulging!

Li Yuan was a powerful minister of Chu state. He was born in Zhao state, and later entered Chu state. He knew Chunshenjun's past and thought that he was a hot man. He gave his beautiful sister to Huang Xie, and soon Li Yuan's sister was pregnant. At this time, Li Yuan conspired with Huang Xie to give his pregnant sister to the king of Chu. After Li Yuan entered the palace, she gave birth to a boy. The king of Chu was in full bloom. He made the boy Prince (Huang Xie's son) and Li Yuan.

Li Yuan is a man who does everything to achieve his goal. Once he is successful, his selfishness will expand. He stares at the prime minister's position, but he is afraid of Huang Xie. So he trained the assassin in secret, aiming to kill Huang Xie and take his place.

In 238 BC, King kaolie of Chu died. Before that, Huang Xie was blocked in leading the Allied forces of six countries to attack Hangu pass of Qin Dynasty, and was ignored by King kaolie of Chu. Now when he heard that the king of Chu had passed away, he thought of their experiences of sharing weal and woe. Huang Xie went to the funeral regardless of everything.

Li Yuan was waiting for such an opportunity. He deliberately led Huang Xie into Jimen, killed him cruelly, cut his head and threw it out. Later, the ferocious Li Yuan killed his family. Huang Xie, a resourceful, informed and righteous Chunshen king, has come to such an end. His ending is really miserable.

Is there a second Gou Jian in history?

In 496 BC, Helu, the then king of Wu, was informed of the death of Yunchang. So he thought that when the opportunity came, he called the army to attack the state of Yue. However, the dead soldiers sent by King Gou Jian of Yue caused the unrest of the army of Wu. The scene that the dead soldiers of Yue committed suicide stunned all the soldiers of Wu at that time. At this time, the army led by Gou Jian shot the king of Wu Helu with bow and arrow, and caused chaos in the army of Wu. On his deathbed, he told his son Fucha "never forget Yue."

Fu Chai, the king of Wu, always remembers his father's hatred. Of course, Gou Jian also knows that the state of Wu is actually his own serious trouble. Three years later (493 BC), when Gou Jian learned that Fu Chai was actively expanding his army to prepare for war, he planned to attack the state of Wu first.

At this time, Fan Li was firmly against it, and several admonitions failed. Finally, the king of Yue decided to attack the state of Wu. When the state of Wu learned about the attack attempt of the state of Yue, Fu Chai, king of Wu, gathered all the elite and defeated the Yue army in Fu Jiao. Finally, King Gou Jian of Yue was defeated, and more than 5000 people retreated to Kuaiji. Then, taking advantage of the victory, Wu's army quickly surrounded Kuaiji.

Fan Li gave Gou Jian some advice. Gou Jian wanted to fight with Fu Chai to the death, but Fan Li put forward some suggestions. So Gou Jian sent a doctor Wen Zhong to ask Wu for peace. While kowtowing, he saluted the king of Wu and said, "Gou Jian is willing to be your slave, and his wife is willing to be your concubine." This made King Wu very happy, but Wu Zixu was very opposed. In view of this situation, Gou Jian is ready to fight to death. But fortunately, taizai Chu (P Ä«), a greedy man in Wu state, was bribed by Wen Zhong. In this way, Gou Jian and Fan Li became slaves of the king of Wu.

After coming to Wu, Gou Jian's job was to raise horses, and his wife was responsible for cleaning. Even if Gou Jian was so hard-working, Wu Zixu suggested killing him. The performance of Gou Jian is impeccable.

In order to dispel the wariness of Fu Chai, when Gou Jian saw that the king was ill, he went to make a diagnosis in person. In order to confirm when the king recovered, he also tasted the stool and urine of the king himself. After tasting it, Gou Jian happily congratulated King Wu: congratulations on his recovery. This moved the king of Wu, but Wu Zixu strongly recommended killing Gou Jian. Fu Chai didn't adopt Wu Zixu's suggestion. Gou Jian's obedience was recognized by Fu Chai, so he was put back to Yue.

Gou Jian, who came back to China, began to live a hard life. He carefully selected beauty Xi Shi to present to Fu Chai. The arrival of Xi Shi made Fu Chai relax his vigilance. At this time, the king of Wu believed in Gou Jian's loyalty, and he put all his energy on fighting for hegemony with the northern princes. No matter how Wu Zixu persuades him, the king of Wu is not moved. At this point, great disaster begins to come.

In 437 BC, King Gou Jian of Yue led the army to break through the gate of Wu Kingdom. The whole army of Wu Kingdom was destroyed, and Fu Chai died of suicide. King Gou Jian of Yue finally completed his revenge mission. He also became the first monarch in the history to make great efforts to rule and restore the country again in the case of subjugation!

Zhao Wu's life is lucky or unfortunate? His descendants eventually became the overlord

According to the historical records. According to Zhao family, Jin Jinggong killed Zhao Shuo family for three years (597 years ago), tu'an Jia, the powerful minister of Jin Dynasty, killed Zhao Dunzi Zhao Shuo family, killed more than 300 people in zhaodun family, and searched for Zhaowu, the baby. Cheng Ying and zhaoshuo gate guest gongxujiu decided to change their babies. The mortar died and the only offspring of Zhao family were preserved. Cheng infant held Zhao Wu and hid in the mountain for 15 years, until then, he was able to fight against Zhaoxue. It is said that Cheng Ying took Zhao Wu to hide caves in the daytime and stay in the ancient temples at night. Under the cover and help of local people, Cheng Ying survived the 15 spring and Autumn period. So why does Zhao Wu hide so much?

Zhao Dun, Zhao Wu's grandfather, was the Minister of Jin Dynasty who was in a position to be in power. He was not good with tu'an Jia. Tu'an Jia set up a soldier to kill Zhao Dun's family. For a while, Zhao family became a blood stream. As a sister of Jin Chenggong, Zhao Wu's mother was still in the palace of Zhaowu, but she could not escape the fate of death. Zhao Ji told her children that if you want to make Zhao family extinct, you cry if you want to kill Zhao family Don't cry if you don't let Zhao go extinct. Unexpectedly, Zhao Wu of the baby didn't make any sound and escaped a robbery. At that time, the cost of avoiding the disaster was very high. Gongsunzhujiu gave his life, while Cheng infant gave his own children. When Zhao Wu was an adult, Jin Jinggong wanted to remove tu'anja, the official of power, so he had the same enemy with Zhaowu. He hid Zhao Wu in the palace and chose the opportunity to kill the Tuan Jia. Finally, Zhao Wu avenged him. However, he was too lonely to raise his Cheng infant and killed himself. He had no family members. In politics, I have never got the ambition. I was able to sit in Zhengqing's throne until five years before I died. Although he successfully presided over the military alliance in the spring and Autumn period, it established the situation of Jin Chu sub hegemony, but his political ambition did not really realize. In depression, he went through a lonely life.

Fortunately, his descendants are very competitive. Zhaojingzi, the son of Zhaowu, is also a Zhengqing in history. Zhaojianzi, grandson, is outstanding in his political achievements and has started various reforms on his own land. It can be said that Zhao Jianzi's reform measures are very effective. Zhao Jianzi, as the family of Shiqing, has the most effective reform measures in all the six top officials who have carried out the reform.

Zhao Wu's descendants also became a generation of tyrants in the late spring and Autumn period, and later, they were divided into Jin states with Han and Wei. In 403 BC, Zhao Wu was recognized by the royal family of Zhou Dynasty as the state of the time.

He was the most handsome man in Qin Dynasty, but he had an ugly word in his name

When we Chinese name, we often use some words with better meaning. When people name, they tend to get better, and they will not be able to use bad words as names. But in the spring and Autumn period and Warring States period, there was such a person. His name contained a word "ugly", which was called ugly man.

Weiugly is not a name for other purposes. It is said that this is an ugly born, so it is called ugly man. Although it is called ugly man, it is not ugly, but it is a handsome man. How handsome? Shuai let the then Qin State declare empress, Qin state most powerful woman, crazy in love with him. Of course, empress Xuan liked the little man, not only because he was handsome, but also because he was so handsome that Huang Xie, the first love lover of Wei and his wife, was just like a God.

Wei ugfu, although surnamed Wei, is not a Wei Guoren, but a Chu people. Perhaps it is also a reason that empress dowager likes Wei ugly husband, because empress Xuan was also Princess of Chu state before. As the mother of the famous and famous emperor Zhaoxiang, empress Xuan of Qin Dynasty. In recent years, there are many film and television works, there are the figure of empress Xuan. Even there is a TV drama dedicated to empress Xuan as the leading actress, that is, MI Yue Zhuan. No mistake, MI Yue is empress Xuan. The editor remembers the time when Mi Yue Zhuan was broadcast. By the end of the day, weiugly appeared.

At first, Wei ugly Fu bowed his head and replied to the queen Dowager's question and said, "my name is weiugly." The editor thought in his heart, what an ugly man this is. Parents will give their names to ugly man? Ugly man, ugly man, meaning ugly man. As a result, Wei ugly looked up and just let the small catalogue stare. Where is this ugly man? It's not ugly at all. On the contrary, Wei ugly not only ugly, but also very good-looking handsome!

If so, it's just the writer of the TV series who made it up. The real situation is that there is a Wei ugly husband in the male pet of empress Xuan. What is a male favorite? It is not uncommon that ancient emperors can marry many women as concubines. But in fact, some of the women who were more powerful in ancient times would also raise some male favours like the emperor raised concubines. We can understand as the concubine of a man. For example, Wu Zetian has raised male favours. And according to the historical records of some male favours, we can infer it with the common sense. Who are the men who can be a favorite? It must be a handsome man. Otherwise, how can we enter these met the world, saw the great wind and waves, met the eyes of numerous men of the strong women? So, Wei ugly can be a man's pet, must be very handsome.

And more magical is, empress Xuan loves Wei ugly very much. This is also historical basis, not small self speculation. According to historical records, after empress Xuan was old, she was seriously ill and knew that she was dying. So a funeral edict was issued, which said that if the Empress Dowager died, he would be buried with her. Who is this man? This man is Wei ugly. Seeing this, it must be obvious that we can see that empress Xuan likes Wei ugly Fu and likes to "love when he dies".

Of course, Wei was still young at this time, and he certainly didn't want to die. But the Empress Dowager pointed out that he should die, which scared weiugly every day. Fortunately, this matter was known by counselor Yong Rui, and ran to persuade the Empress Dowager. Yong Rui said to the Empress Dowager first that after the death of a man, he knew nothing, why should his lover accompany himself to die? Anyway, he died without knowing, and could not feel it. He wasted his love's life in vain. Kill others, sad oneself, this is what is the pain? Conversely, Yong Rui said, if the person died still has the feeling, that also can not.

If the Empress Dowager died, he met the first king in the underworld, but there was another man around him. Was it not a good thing? Xuantaihu thought about it. He thought that what Yong Rui said was also rational, and then he changed his thoughts in the edict. Wei did not have to follow him. But whether from the words of Yong Rui, or can we declare the Empress Dowager's attitude towards the matter. We can easily see that empress Xuan is true love to Wei ugly husband.

Empress Xuan is true love to Wei. What about Wei ugly to empress Wei? There is no record in the history books. We may not know the answer. But we can judge it. The handsome boy and the old empress Xuan. It was a strange match that made people feel their heads. Empress Xuan fell in love with Wei ugly, maybe just in love with a kind of beauty, want to see some lost years from his young face, and try to catch the young tail. So what about Wei? Maybe, weiugly only wants money, wants good life, high status, and stays with the Empress Dowager.

In a word, whether it is empress Qin Xuan or Wei ugly. After all, neither of them is true love. One for a good life, high status and money, one for the sake of coveting young faces. It's just to keep warm and get what you need.

Mengchangjun was ridiculed for being short. He killed all the people in the county?

Tian Wen was born in Jinzhi royal family. He was the nephew of King Xuan of Qi and the son of Jingguo Juntian Ying, the cousin of King min of Qi. He was also called Xuegong because he was granted land in Xuecheng.

Tian Wen fled to the territory of Zhao state after being despised by King Zhaoxiang of Qin Dynasty. When he arrived at Handan, the capital of Zhao, Tian Wen went to visit Zhao Sheng, who was as famous as him. Tian Wen talks with Zhao Sheng about Shenghuan and stays in the latter's mansion for several days before leaving. Zhao Sheng sends people to send him to a small county on the border. Local people have long heard of the good reputation of mengchang's courteous and virtuous corporal and run to see their idols. However, when they see the true face of mengchang, local people are greatly disappointed. The people in this county thought that the famous mengchang king must be a tall and powerful man. However, in their eyes, Tian Wen himself was a small, thin and obscene man, just like a humble servant. The onlookers were stunned and mocked one after another.

If Tian Wen is really a gentleman with an open mind and worthy of the name, then he can laugh at the local people's ridicule. There is no need to worry about them. Maybe Tian Wen is a narrow-minded, vicious and cruel hypocrite. Maybe he suffered too much injustice in the state of Qin and always wanted to find a chance to vent his anger. So he didn't want to express his ridicule to the people of Zhao He is willing to give up for revenge on the people who ridicule him.

Tian Wen personally went to battle with his disciples to kill them. He also slaughtered other innocent people in the city, even children in their infancy. After a series of indiscriminate massacres, no one in the county was spared.

After returning to China, Tian Wen was worshipped as prime minister by King Qimin. With the further rise of power and fame, his arrogant and domineering style became more and more popular, so that it was known to all that there was Prince mengchang but not king Qimin. King min of Qi was not willing to be a puppet, so he drove Tian Wen to the state of Wei by Gu.

Tian Wen was appointed prime minister after he fled to the state of Wei. In order to vent his dissatisfaction, he gathered the troops of Wei, Yan, Qin, Zhao and Han to conquer the state of Qi, forcing King min of Qi to flee to Jucheng and die there.

After the death of King Qimin, Tian Fazhang, the crown prince, ascended the throne for King Qixiang. Because he was afraid of Tian Wen's influence, Tian Fazhang took the initiative to repair with him and allowed him to return to Xuecheng, the feudal land. For more than ten years, Tian Wen was arrogant in Xuecheng, remained independent among the princes, and refused to submit to any minister. In the 36th year of King Zhou Nan, Tian Wen died in Xuecheng, and the princes fought for the right of inheritance Scuffle led to the destruction of the family.

Historical evaluation:

ancient

Xunzi, Warring States Period: Zhuangzi was blinded to heaven and did not know people. (Xunzi · Jiebi)

Simaqian, the Western Han Dynasty, has nothing to look at, but it belongs to Laozi. So his works more than 100 thousand words, and the fable is also large. Good belongs to the book leaves the words, indicates the kind of affairs, uses plagiarism to peel off Confucianism, ink, although the study of the world can not be self-understanding.

Tang Bai Juyi: Zhuang Sheng Qi things are the same, and my Tao is different. So the nature of the free is consistent, Luan and Phoenix are better than snake insects. (reading Zhuangzi)

Wang Anshi, Northern Song Dynasty: Yan new poems of Qing Dynasty were written from the Mongolian and chanted as if they were in this hall. Officials have no farmland and a strong sense of time, and the people have the style of later generations of Zhuang Zhou Dynasty. I knew the leisure wood rope in the court, and I was sitting in the distance to think about the jade trees. When to get, I will be a Weng by pitching the dust. (the name of "the Qingyan Hall of Mengcheng")

Ming Xu Wei: Zhuangzhou is light of life and death, and it is incomparable in ancient times. What is the number theory and the life of death is the most important thing? But the one who knows nothing is to see the time. No name, no name, there are high officials in this. (reading Zhuangzi)

modern

Lu Xun: his works are full of the different styles and manners. You can't do it first in late Zhou Dynasty. (outline of the history of Chinese Literature)

Guo Moruo: almost every Chinese literature history since Qin and Han Dynasties was developed under his influence: the thinkers and writers are unique among ancient philosophers in China. (Lu Xun and Zhuangzi)

Wen Yiduo: the Chinese culture always has the brand of Zhuangzi.

Li Zehou: the appearance of Chinese literati is Confucianism, but the inner part is Zhuangzi forever.

Huwenying: Zhuangzi has a very cold eye and the hottest heart. Cold eyes, so whether it is not: heart and intestine hot, so feeling all over the world. Although knowing is useless, but not forgetting, it is a warm heart hanging in the end: Although we can not forget feelings, but do not start at all, it is cold-looking. (Zhuangzi sees only)

Wang Meng: Zhuangzi is a very special and distinctive philosopher, and he is the only one in the world. His biggest feature is to turn very deep thought into literature, into art, into myth, fable, story and legend. His words on philosophical issues are all languously, metaphorically exquisite, rhetoric gorgeous, broad style, angular, and wonderful. You feel like you are relish and relaxed. This makes the deep philosophy literary and interesting.

Why did Wu Zixu lose his head overnight? What happened to him?

In the white haired witch, it is recorded that Lian nishang was betrayed by Zhuo Yihang and suffered a great psychological trauma. Then he became a big devil in the river and lake. Lian nishang is a fictional character in the novel. She is white all night for the need of the plot. Is it possible to be bald all night? The answer is: absolutely possible. Wu Zixu is a living example.

Wu Zixu was the second generation official of the state of Chu, and his father Wu she was the Grand Master of the state of Chu. Wu Zixu could have been a rich second generation in the state of Chu, but Fei Wuji, the treacherous Minister of the state of Chu, forced him to attack the leading role. Listening to Fei Wuji's slander, the king of Chu not only killed Wu she, but also sent people to kill Wu Zixu. Wu Zixu fled immediately after receiving the news. Wu Zixu first fled to the state of song, but the domestic situation of the state of song was not very good, so he planned to go to the state of Wu to try his luck.

From Chu to Wu, Shaoguan must pass through. Shaoguan is located at the junction of Wu and Chu. It has always been guarded by heavy troops. Wu Zixu's small body must have no way out. Shaoguan pass in front of the river, steep mountains on both sides, unless Wu Zixu has the ability to heaven and earth, otherwise he can only obediently in Shaoguan security.

The king of the state of Chu killed Wu Zixu's father. As the saying goes, if Wu Zixu is incompetent, the king of the state of Chu may let him go. After all, a mediocre can't lift a big wave. However, Wu Zixu was not a mediocre, but a genius. If the king of Chu let Wu Zixu escape, Wu Zixu would set off a bloody storm in Chu in the future. Therefore, the monarch of the state of Chu could not let Wu Zixu go. All the people in the state of Chu are trying their best to arrest Wu Zixu. There is already a picture of Wu Zixu in Shaoguan.

Wu Zixu came to Shaoguan, crossed Shaoguan and entered the state boundary of Wu. From then on, the sky was high and the sea was wide, but Wu Zixu couldn't figure out how to cross Shaoguan. Looking at the near freedom, Wu Zixu fell into a kind of tormented anxiety. Wu Zixu evaded the pursuit and died in Shaoguan, but no matter what he thought, it was difficult for him to pass through Shaoguan. Under the extreme worry, Wu Zixu turned pale all night.

Fortunately, Wu Zixu's life should not be cut off. When he was in great danger, Wu Zixu met the Duke of Donggao. There was a man in Donggao mansion who was very similar to Wu Zixu. He asked this man to go to Shaoguan as Wu Zixu. When the fake Wu Zixu was arrested, the real Wu Zixu took advantage of the chaos to leave the city. When the fake Wu Zixu was arrested, Shaoguan's generals subconsciously relaxed the censorship. In addition, the real Wu Zixu, now with white hair, changed greatly in appearance, so the real Wu Zixu was able to leave the city smoothly.

Taibo, the first ancestor of the eastern Wu Dynasty

Introduction to Taber

Taibo is also known as Wu Taibo, the first generation monarch of the state of Wu and the ancestor of the eastern Wu culture. Ji surname, whose father is the father of gugongyi, the leader of Zhou tribe, has three brothers, ranking the top; two younger brothers Zhongyong and Ji Li.

His father was said to be located in Jili and his son Jichang, Taibo and Zhongyong, moved to Jiangdong and founded Wu.

Taber's life experience

1、 Tiber avoids jumeili

The father of gugongyi gave birth to three sons, and the third season calendar of Zhongyong in Changtai, Ji Chang, the son of Ji Li, later King of Zhou Wenwang, was a brilliant young man with outstanding talent and was deeply favored by his father. He said, "if I have any interest in the world, it is in Changhu!" it is intended to be spread to Jichang again in the Ji calendar.

But at that time, the Western Qi ritual law was that the long pass on the children, and the father could only stop. However, Taber realized his father's intention, and in order to achieve the wishes of his father and avoid the scourge of dragon snake dispute, he decided to let him stay in the third brother Ji Li, and persuaded Zhongyong, his second brother, to leave Zhou Yuan.

2、 Three ways to let the world

After his father died, he rushed back to his funeral. Ji Li and his officials asked him to be appointed. He was not accepted. After his death, he left Zhouyuan again and went to Meili, Wuxi, south of the Yangtze River, to stay away.

Shortly after that, Ji Li was secretly killed by merchants, and Taibo returned to Qishan for mourning. The ministers and nephews Chang asked him to take the throne again. However, he was still not accepted, and he was inherited by his nephew Chang.

Taibo and Zhongyong returned to Meili, and developed the south of the Yangtze River without any effort, and guided the people to develop water conservancy and cultivate sericulture rice, so that the original wild Jiangnan could be the first civilized leap.

Tiber educates the villagers to establish the first village Jingcun and Manxiang in the first lane in the south of the Yangtze River, and the first artificial river in the south of the Yangtze River.

The famous poems such as Gongliu and July have become an important part of the book of songs. Taber was loved by the Aborigines for the great changes brought to the local area. He was held as king and established the first state of the south of the Yangtze River.

After he arrived at Chou, Taber did not marry. He ruled over the country for 49 years. He died at the end of 91 years old. After his death, he was buried on Hongshan, and was said to be located in Zhongyong, his second brother. At this point, Taber has achieved two worlds, one is the Zhou world of three younger brothers, the second is Wu world, which makes the virtue noble and respected by later generations, and is honored as the ancestor of the most virtuous, the king of Sanjang and the Jiangnan culture.

It was time for King Kenyan, king of Wu of Zhou Dynasty, to seek the Taibo and Zhongyong, and then to get Zhou Zhang. Zhou Zhang has been granted the title of Wu. It was named Yu Zhong, the younger brother of Zhou, in the north of Zhou Dynasty, and thus Xia Xu. It was named Yu Zhong and was listed as the princes.

Although Taibo, the ancestor of the eastern Wu Dynasty, has been 3000 years ago, his moral conduct is still a model for his later generations. Later generations should learn from the good and good to the good.

Confucius said in the Analects of Confucius, "Taibo is a kind of moral thing. Three people call it" without virtue. " Taibo three let the world and develop the merits of Jiangnan, by later generations respected.

The existing temple of Taibo is a Ming and Qing architecture, with a photo pool in front of the temple, and a single hole arched stone bridge on the pool, which is called Xianghua bridge. The granite stone archway is set in the north of the bridge, with the words "to the famous state of Germany".

The Lingxing gate is the first building to enter the temple of Taber, with three broad floors. There are nine rooms for everything, next to the courtyard. There are still one ancient cypress and one osmanthus tree in the courtyard.

What role did Shang Yang play in the rise of Qin? Is there really no unification without Shang Yang?

No matter which book, when mentioning the rise of Qin state, it always traces back to a person named Shang Yang.

In the mainstream cognition, without Shang Yang, there would not be the rise of the state of Qin, let alone the great achievement of Qin Shihuang in destroying the six countries and unifying the world.

From the perspective of established facts, this statement seems to be very reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, you find that the truth is by no means so.

The state of Qin hoped to take off through political reform, and they did so in the end. As long as the monarchs of the six states were not blind, they could not see the changes of the state of Qin. If the reform can make the country rich and strong, why don't they follow the example of Qin?

Shang Yang's reform began in 359 BC, and Qin Shihuang unified the six states in 221 BC. In other words, it took 138 years from Shang Yang's reform to Qin's extermination of the six states.

In these 138 years, why didn't the six states of Kanto (east of Hangu pass) take off through political reform, and finally they could only be eliminated by the state of Qin one by one?

In theory, it is not difficult to copy the way Shang Yang played in the state of Qin. Just copy all the laws of the state of Qin and bring them back to the state. It's really no good. We should dig a few bottom judges from the state of Qin to take the lead in carrying out the reform. If we don't say that we learn 100%, we should have no problem with 60% or 70%.

After Shang Yang, many talented people emerged in the state of Qin, such as fan Sui, LV Buwei and Li Si, all of whom were famous officials and even capable officials.

Compared with the above-mentioned people, Shang Yang is not as good as LV Buwei in terms of theoretical level and Li Si in terms of practical level. It should be no problem to say that they are "better than blue and better than blue".

The most important point is that fan Sui, LV Buwei and Li Si are not local people of the state of Qin, but talents of the six states of Guandong. They can not get development space in their own country, so they can only go to the state of Qin to seek development, with great success.

From this point of view, it is not easy to find more excellent talents than Shang Yang from the six states of Kanto, but it is certain that they can be found, but the final result is the unification of the state of Qin

History is by no means something that can be easily changed by someone or an accident. Judging from his personal quality, it should be said that Shang Yang is excellent enough. However, the main reason why Shang Yang can remain famous in history and become the "special one" in the history of Qin is that he appeared at a specific time and place and became the pig standing on the air (non derogatory, just for example).

As early as the spring and Autumn period, Duke mu of Qin developed westward, defeated the dog Army (nomadic people), and finally became one of the overlord of the spring and Autumn period. However, after the death of Duke mu of Qin, the state of Qin gradually declined.

At the end of the spring and Autumn period, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and the powerful Jin state was divided into three kingdoms, Zhao, Wei and Han. It was supposed to be a good time for the eastern expedition of the Qin state, but the Qin state still failed to recover from the internal strife, so that it was oppressed by the Wei state for many years, and even the Hexi land that the military strategists must fight for was lost.

It was against this background that yingquliang, the Duke of Qin, succeeded to the throne. At this time, the state of Qin could only shrink to the west of Hanguguan and shiver, so there was no chance of the eastern expedition.

From the objective reality, the state of Qin at this time can only be regarded as a second-class power at best, but from the bottom, it is obvious that the state of Qin belongs to the type whose ancestors were rich, because the state of Qin in the period of Qin Mugong was very powerful.

From the powerful era of Qin Mugong to the second-class power in later generations, there was only one reason why the state of Qin declined: internal strife and the decline of monarchy caused by internal strife.

Many people are so excited when they talk about the reform that they can't understand it. Even many writers have to paste tens of thousands of words while looking up the materials. It's really boring and boring.

In fact, when talking about the reform, there is no need to play so many empty moves, as long as we grasp one core point, that is to strengthen the monarchy.

Why does the monarch want to reform? Because he thinks the country is not strong enough; why is the country not strong enough? Because he does not have enough power.

If you have enough power in your hands, who else can stop the strong rise of our country? This is the common monarchical logic.

Because the monarchy is not strong enough, people will constantly challenge the monarch. If the monarchy is strong enough, who dares to jump out to seek death?

In this context, who can help Qin strengthen the monarchy, who can make Qin strong again, all the work of Shang Yang is carried out around this basic point.

For the advocates of law change (usually the monarch), the change of law is certainly excellent, because it will increase the power in his own hands. But without the change of productivity, the power in the hands of the monarch will increase, which means that the power of other military and political groups will be reduced.

If the people are killed by their parents, the military and political groups whose interests are damaged will naturally unite to resist the change of the law. This leads to the dispute between the reformists and the Conservatives. Many people interpret it as the concept dispute, which is actually the interest dispute and the interest closely related to themselves.

For the monarch, the change of law is indeed a power collector, but the time for the change is not to say that there can be.

Qin Xiaogong's father, Qin Xiangong Ying Shixi, had already had a monarch in China when he took the position, that is, Qin Qiaogong Ying Chang. Finally, Qin's parents and sons were killed, and Qin Xiangong was able to settle down.

If there is a man like Shangyang, what can he do when he enters Qin State in such a turbulent time? Nothing can be done, because the monarch of Qin is not much better than puppet. Who dare to play with the change at this time is to find death.

The background of Shangyang's success in the reform of law in Qin is as follows:

1、 After Qin Xiangong's operation, other military and political groups in Qin state have been in the defensive position. After his succession, he challenged other military and political groups with Shang Yang's reform of law as weapons, and obtained gratifying results: although they were not able to annihilate them, they were also beaten seriously and dormant;

2、 The state of Wei was so powerful that other countries were worried about being attacked by Wei. So they joined forces to siege the state of Wei. Qin took the opportunity to take back the Hexi area and lay a good foundation for the future east March.

If other military and political groups of Qin state are not weakened, if Wei still has spare no effort to attack Qin, Shang Yang's reform cannot succeed.

Some people may say that although there are various objective convenience in the method of Shang Yang transformation, we can not deny that, in that special time node, it was the emergence of Shang Yang that led to the later Qin state.

This statement makes sense, but still overestimates the role of Shang Yang. Shang Yang appeared at that special time and place, only to ensure that he was famous in history, but not to ensure that the Qin state ruled the world.

Jia Yi said this in his famous book "on the past Qin Dynasty:" Qin land is firmly thought by the mountains and rivers, and the four fortress countries are also. Since the Duke of Miao, as for the king of Qin, more than 20 emperors have been princes and princes. Is the world wise? Its potential is also

In other words, in Jia Yi's view, the main reason why Qin can dominate the world is that Qin occupies a great geographical advantage.

Before the economic center of China moved to the East, Qin, Western Han, Sui and Tang all occupied the world in Guanzhong. From this point of view, Qin had the prerequisite for seizing the world.

Why did the Wei state, once inescapable, decline? We may draw many conclusions, but one conclusion that no one can deny is that Wei suffered great geographical losses and was a country with short board and four Warring States.

Qin gradually stepped out of the shadow of internal strife, Shang Yang changed the law to strengthen the monarchy of Qin, and the enemy Wei was subject to the international environment, and the central government was in danger to help These four factors together, only then had the later Qin Dynasty that dominated the world.

Jia Yi also said such famous words in his famous book "on the past Qin Dynasty:" as far as the first emperor, he fought for the rest of the sixth world, and then he took the long policy to defend the yunei, swallowed the two weeks and died the princes, performed the supreme and made Six Harmonies, and beat and flogged the world, and the four seas were greatly shaken. "

The so-called "remaining martyrs of the sixth generation" is calculated from the Qin Xiaogong. The following are the king of Qin Hui Wen, the king of Qin Wu, the king of Qin Zhaoxiang, the king of Qin Xiaowen and the king of Qin Zhuangxiang.

Of the six monarchs of Qin, three were in bad fortune.

Wang Ying Dang of Qin Wu was in office for four years, and he was injured by weightlifting in competitions with others. He was only 23 years old;

Wang Yingzhu, qinxiaowen, was only three days in office, that is, after his father died, he survived the year number of his father's last year, and he died just three days after his change;

In the three years of his reign, Ying Zi Chu, the king of Qin Zhuangxiang, made no contribution except to attack the Eastern Zhou Dynasty;

The emperor of Qin Zhuang Xiang was the father of the first emperor of Qin. When he was 13 years old, he was faced with a court coup immediately after he was grown up, which was also very difficult.

After reading the above historical facts, many people may sincerely express their feelings: can we unify the six countries in this way? God really cares about Qin!

In fact, with the above four important conditions, the unification of Qin is only a matter of time: one after another the excellent monarch dies; the excellent Prime Minister dies one after another; the excellent commander dies one after another.

However, no matter how dead, the state of Qin could always push the waves behind the Yangtze River and push the waves ahead. One wave was stronger than the other.

It is said that Zhao forced Li Mu to die because he did not respect talents. Those who say this should look at the state of Qin: Shang Yang was cracked, Bai Qi was given death, fan Sui was given death (it is said that he died of illness), LV Buwei committed suicide, and Li Si was driven away Does the state of Qin respect talents very much? To be honest, I can't see it.

This is the difference between historical materialism and heroic historical view: in the view of heroic historical view, only excellent leaders can promote the development of history; while historical materialism holds that the emergence of any talent is inseparable from the objective environment of talent growth.

If we put these two views in the context of Qin State's "striving for the sixth world", who is more correct? I believe everyone can make a judgment.

Shang Yang's political reform strengthened the monarchical power of the Qin state, which is worthy of affirmation. It is also one of the preconditions for the unification of the Qin state, but it should not be too mythical.

Shang Yang began to reform in 359 BC, but he was killed in 338 BC, 21 years later. When Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, there was 117 years between them.

If Shang Yang's reform really had such a great effect, why did Qin wait more than 100 years to realize its unification?

Shang Yang naturally contributed to the great cause of Qin Shihuang's unification of China, but if the first contribution is attributed to him, it is really far back.

How much did Meng Mu spend on moving three times? It's absolutely out of your expectation

Mencius mother's choice of neighbors is a long-standing story, but it is hard to avoid people's argument: if Mencius mother is not rich, why move three times in a row? And every place, it is necessary to buy a house? The speaker also has a proof: Mencius mother's choice of neighbors is enough to prove that this is true.

Mencius was named Menke and his father menji. Mencius lost his father when he was young, and Mencius had never been a high-ranking official or got a good salary. What about Mengmu? Han Fei's biography contains the story of Mengmu's breaking and weaving. His work of bowing and weaving proves that he was not born as "Tao Zhugong". Orphans and widowed mothers, what is the property of Wanguan family?

Let's look at the three migrations of Mencius. It's not in Beijing or Shanghai. The Meng family moved from the cemetery to the market, and then to the school. They didn't leave zouyi in the state of Lu. They just moved around in that big "village".

What's more, moving at that time was not the same as today. People who read ancient books all know that at that time, there were only suitcases to hide clothes, only earthenware to store food, and most families did not even have tables, chairs and benches except pottery. It is estimated that when people leave, even if they move, it is really a very easy thing.

Let's talk about Qianjin. The gold here is not gold, but copper. The ancients divided gold into three grades. The first grade is gold, which is called gold; the second grade is silver; the last grade is copper, which is called red gold. In Mencius' time, the currency in Qilu, Yanzhao and other places was mostly knife coin made of copper. The "thousand" here is not a real number, but an exaggeration of the virtual meaning, which means that the mother of Mencius is just emphasizing that she will do whatever it takes to educate her children. Moreover, "Meng Mu San Qian" comes from Liu Xiang's biography of women. Liu Xiang was born in 77 BC and died in 6 BC. He experienced four emperors in his life. However, they were all in the early Western Han Dynasty, when the economy was in the recovery period. "Rice to stone is worth ten thousand yuan, and a horse is worth 100 yuan." maybe he measured the cost of Meng Mu's three migrations according to the economic situation in the early Han Dynasty.

To say the least, even if the "thousand" is a real number, there is still a problem of weight. In the past, a kilogram was only 228.86 grams, which is less than half a kilogram today. Even a kilogram is less than 500 today; If it is a thousand baht, it is said in Shuoyuan bianwu that "Sixteen millet is one bean and six beans are one baht". According to ancient records, twelve millet is one cent and twelve is one baht. According to this, the weight of 144 grains of millet is one baht, 24 baht is one or two, and 1000 baht is only 41.6 Liang, which is equivalent to 2.6 Jin in ancient times and 128 yuan in today's measurement. I think if it is the person who holds a kilogram of copper in his hand, I'm afraid nobody will be surprised at it

Is fan Chi, Confucius' disciple, really a villain?

It is said that before and after Confucius recruited more than 3000 disciples, among which more than 70 were considered excellent in character and learning (some said 77, some said 72); Confucius himself made a list of disciples who were later known as "four subjects and ten philosophers", among which 10 were the best. Fan Xu, whose name is zichi, is also called fan Chi. Because he joined Confucius after he returned to the state of Lu from his travels, he failed to be one of the "four subjects and ten philosophers". But from the close relationship with Confucius recorded in the Analects of Confucius, fan Chi is a disciple appreciated by Confucius. Therefore, it is one of the more than 70 outstanding people.

Nevertheless, fan Chi was once rebuked by Confucius. On the face of it, the harshness of the reprimand is better than that of Zaiyu's "rotten wood can't be carved" and "walls of dung can't be built.". "Rotten wood" and "dung" are just metaphors, while fan Chi is denounced as the antonym of "gentleman", the "villain" that Confucius despised most. The reason is that fan Chi wants to learn agricultural technology. First, he said that he wanted to learn how to grow grain. Confucius was surprised and told him politely, "I'm not as good as an old farmer." Then fan Chi said that he wanted to learn how to grow vegetables. Confucius was a little angry and told him, "I'm not as good as a vegetable farmer." After fan Chi left, Confucius was very angry and called him a "villain".

Fan Chi wanted to learn agricultural technology. Why did Confucius call him a villain? This is because Confucius believed that in the situation at that time, if the rulers knew how to advocate rites and music, pay attention to morality and abide by credit, the people in all directions would help the old and the young to come to work, and there was no need to learn to grow crops and vegetables. In other words, Confucius' school running is to cultivate management talents who spread benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith to the rulers. It is not to carry out vocational and technical education, cultivate specialized technical talents, let alone cultivate farmers. So why did fan Chi want to learn to grow food and vegetables? Liu Baonan, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, put forward an explanation: because in the spring and Autumn period, the hereditary system was adopted by Qing officials, and the election system of selecting talents was abandoned; most of the talents had no position, so they had no salary and could not support their families, so they had to find their own way to survive. Qian Mu, a modern scholar, put forward another explanation, saying that fan Chi wanted to follow the example of Shennong and Houji and "teach the people by farming", that is, he got the support of the people by mastering agricultural technology and spreading it to the people, and finally achieved the goal of educating the people.

Both of these explanations are reasonable. However, from the words of Confucius, the direct reason for fan Chi's learning was to solve the problem of labor shortage. The spring and Autumn period is a military period, with frequent wars, incessant wars, sharp population decline, and a large number of land without farming, resulting in a serious problem of food shortage. Fan Chi's solution is that intellectuals put down their positions and engage in agricultural labor. It is a bit similar to letting the educated youth go to the countryside, the intellectuals go to cadre schools, and go to the countryside to engage in agricultural labor. Confucius' solution is to improve the political environment, attract people from foreign countries, increase the population and solve the labor problem. Fan Chi's method has a high ideological level, but it does not conform to the standard of pragmatism. It is equivalent to turning himself into a manual laborer, and can only solve the problems of one person or one family. Confucius's method, in fact, is to join the ruling class, and the purpose is to solve the food problem of a country. In a word, Confucius' pursuit is quite lofty.

Fan Chi was just impulsive. After thinking about it, he didn't insist on the road of "saving the world through agriculture". That is to say, I accepted the teacher's advice. Therefore, apart from being called a villain by Confucius this time, fan Chi recorded in the Analects of Confucius is a regular disciple. He asked Confucius about "knowledge (wisdom)" and "benevolence", among which "benevolence" was asked three times, and Confucius patiently answered it. One day, when I was traveling with my teacher to pray for rain, I asked Confucius for the meaning of "advocating morality, cultivating morality and distinguishing doubts", which was praised by Confucius. On another occasion, when fan Chi was driving for Confucius, Confucius took the initiative to tell him how he answered Meng Yizi's question of "filial piety" and explained it.

Su Dongpo, who is fond of joking, said to Confucius that "there are so many gentlemen." to the second couplet of "villain fan xuye", he mocked Qin Shaoyou, a bearded Qin Guan. A regular Confucius disciple, because he asked Confucius a wonderful question, because his name was interesting, he was firmly remembered by later generations. However, few people know that he can keep calm and brave when he is in danger. From fan Chi's story, I can't help feeling: the reputation behind people is really unpredictable!

Decipherment: why King min of the powerful Qi Dynasty was expelled by the Three Kingdoms in succession?

King Qi Min was a faint monarch of Qi. In his hand, Qi suffered unprecedented defeat. Facing the allied army of the princes led by general Yueyi of Yan state, Qi army was defeated and retreated on a regular basis. There are only two remaining cities in the seventy cities of Qi. And king Qi Min himself also fell to the tragic situation of escaping from other countries.

According to the common sense, since the country is going to be destroyed, king Qi Min, the chief culprit, should, of course, reflect on his mistakes, and then think hard, change his past and change his mind and change his face, treat his subjects well, make active efforts to make allies, gain the sympathy of the princes internationally, and then return to the country in an attempt to recover. But, king Qi Min did not. King Qi Min not only felt that he had no fault, but he treated others more severely and abused more.

When king Qi Min fled to Wei, Wei Sijun, the monarch of Wei, received king Qi min. Wei state had been squeezed into a weak country in the middle and late Warring States period. Wei Shijun resigned even the title of a duke, and he bowed down to the powers to honor his officials and live in a life of living in a scrupulous manner. At this time, king Qi Min came to vote. Although Qi seems to have gone, Yu Wei, the tiger died, when did not make it back to the country. Was the Yan state not born again? So Wei Sijun was very polite to the king min, and he offered to let his palace out, let king Qi Min live, and treat king Qi Min as "minister". As long as king Qi Min asked, Wei Sijun tried to meet. It can be said that Wei Sijun has been humble and benevolent to king Qi min.

But king Qi Min is still not satisfied. At that time, king Qi Min suffered great setbacks, and he was more hostile to his subordinates. He was particularly reluctant to see some officials of the state, who were ostensibly hospitable to himself, but he always gathered to discuss what. Those guys must be laughing at themselves. King Qi Min then deliberately found fault, and he was very hard to defend officials. Even to weisijun, he scolded him politely and regarded the monarch of Wei as a slave. Wei Sijun can not bear it again, but his minister can not bear it. So all men send soldiers and drive Qi Min gong out of Wei state together. King Qi Min left in a hurry, but still felt that the Wei people were sorry for themselves, and they had the chance to destroy the Wei state.

Like many officials who are used to being barbaric, king Qi Min never felt guilty of any fault, and it was also necessary for others to be good for himself.

Later, king Qi Min fled to the state of Lu. Although the state of Lu was weaker than that of Qi, it was still a medium-sized country. He was afraid of Qi. But now Qi was not the original state of Qi, but king Qi Min was still a king of princes. At the border of Lu, king Qi Min shouted that the king of the state of Lu should treat himself with the etiquette of greeting the emperor. King Qi Min asked the monarch of Lu to go to the kitchen in the morning and evening to check the cooking, and asked the king of Lu to stand under the steps every day to serve himself for dinner, and asked the monarch of Lu to meet himself at the border himself. Only when king Qi Min allowed him to do his own business. Otherwise, the army was sent to destroy the country of Lu. Lu people listened to the anger of course, so they strengthened the border guard, and drove king Qi Min away, even the national gate did not let king Qi Min enter.

When Zou was in the state, he happened to meet the death of the monarch of Zou, and the whole country was immersed in mourning. But king Qi Min asked to hang up and mourn as a son of heaven, and stood to the north to accept the worship of Zou's new monarch. Zou Guojun was in grief, and he was very angry at the rude request of Ming king, so he sent soldiers to drive king Qi Min away.

Is Jin Xiangong a fatuous king? What is his influence on later generations?

In the era of emperor Xiangong of Jin Dynasty, he "merged the country seventeen and served the country thirty-eight". Would the emperor Xiangong of Jin Dynasty be a few fatigued monarchs with such achievements? If so, what did he do to make people evaluate him like this?

One day in 677 BC, Duke Wu of Quwo, who combined Jin into one, died. In this year, Prince Guizhu ushered in the most important stage of his life, that is, to inherit the throne of his father Duke Wu of Jin and become the ruler of Jin. Jin was originally a large vassal state under the enfeoffment of the Zhou Dynasty. Later, because the Quwo branch was gradually stronger than the former Jin, it finally replaced the former Jin and became the master of Jin, which combined the divided Jin into one. When Jin Xiangong succeeded to the throne, there were many young masters of the former Jin Dynasty in the state of Jin, who threatened Jin Xiangong's status all the time.

In 669 BC, the state of Jin under the rule of Jin Xiangong was basically stable. In order to solve these uneasy factors, Duke Xian of Jin obeyed the advice of the officials, killed all the princes of Jin, abolished the official system of Jin, and suppressed the "rebellion of Princes" in Jin. In the second year, the former princes of Jin who fled from the state of Jin united with the state of Guo and launched an attack on the state of Jin. Jin was still a powerful country under the rule of Jin Xiangong. Although Guo was strong, it did not defeat Jin. In the third year, after Jin Xiangong repelled the attack of Guo State, he wanted to attack Guo State, but he was dissuaded by the officials.

Is Jin Xiangong a fatuous king? What is his influence on later generations?

In 672 B.C., Duke Xian of Jin got Li Ji, a beautiful woman, and made him his wife. Duke Xian of Jin wanted to make Xi Qi, the son born to him by Li Ji, the crown prince. However, there is already a prince in the state of Jin, Shen Sheng, the eldest son of Duke Xian of Jin. Shen Sheng's mother was Qi Jiang, the daughter of Qi henggong. Originally, she was Wu Gong's wife. After Wu Gong died, Jin Xiangong had an affair with Qi Jiang and gave birth to Shen Sheng and his daughter Muji. Jin Xian Gong's original wife was a Jia woman, but Jia had never had a child, so Jin Xian Gong gradually became indifferent to her. Because Qi Jiang's identity background is the daughter of Qi henggong, who is backed by the powerful state of Qi, and Shen Sheng is a virtuous person. Jin Xiangong made Shen Sheng the crown prince of Jin early. Now, the young and beautiful Liji came to the palace, filling the lonely heart of Jin Xiangong. After all, Jia Nu didn't have a son, Qi Jiang died early, and other women in the imperial palace of Jin didn't have the delicate idea of Liji. Jin Xiangong spoiled Liji so much that he wanted to make Liji's child prince.

Li Ji is a deep-seated woman. She first flatters and takes pity and gets the position of national Mother. Then she bribes Xian Gong's male pet and alienates the father son relationship between Xian Gong and Shen Sheng. Shen Sheng, as the crown prince, received the best political treatment from the state of Jin, and should not be enfeoffed in any case, because enfeoffment means that he lost the qualification to inherit the throne. Jin Xiangong is to disclose this news to the ministers. He plans to abolish the crown prince Shensheng. Shen Sheng attached great importance to filial piety and was enfeoffed to Quwo without resistance. Because of Shen Sheng's non rebellious attitude, Li Ji and Jin Xian Gong put more pressure on him.

In 661 BC, Duke Xian of Jin divided the Jin army into two parts and expanded the army. He led the army and ordered Prince Shen Sheng to lead the army and go to war with him. In the spring and Autumn period, it was the second signal from the Duke Xian of Jin to the ministers. It was so obvious that it could not be more obvious. Minister Rick once spoke for Shen Sheng. He said to Xian Gong, "the prince is the future leader of the country. In the army, you have to ask for instructions from the superior when you make any decision. As time goes by, the prince will lose his prestige in front of the ministers. Who can convince a king without prestige? "Duke Xian of Jin is like a man of no consequence. He pretends that he doesn't understand and says," I have so many sons, and I'm not sure who I want to appoint as the future crown prince yet. "Rick understands the intention of Duke Xian as soon as he hears this, so he refuses to go to the battlefield with Shen Sheng and stays in Jindu.

It has to be said that in the matter of suppressing his son, Jin Xiangong was really heartless. Shen Sheng, Chong ER and Yi Wu are the best of all his sons, but they are also the ones who were beaten the hardest. From this point of view, Duke Xian is undoubtedly a fatuous monarch, because a wise monarch will not hurt the country's excellent crown prince in any case. He must take more care of and cultivate the next generation of monarchs. How can he suppress them everywhere? Duke Xian of Jin has no long-term vision, but only thinks of his own happiness in this life. No matter he is a father or a monarch, he is not qualified. However, Xiangong didn't kill Chonger completely, which left a good seed for Jin. He abolished the official system of the public family, which was a double-edged sword. It not only brought benefits to the state of Jin, but also made the public family of Jin excluded by the Qing family, and finally eliminated by the Qing family.

Gou Jian was the tomb keeper of Dayu! Who saved him when he failed to attack the state of Wu?

According to the records of Goujian family, king of Yue in historical records, Dayu was buried in Kuaiji County after his death. When Shaokang, his great grandson, became king of Xia, he sealed a common son in Kuaiji and let him govern there and offer incense to Dayu from generation to generation. To put it bluntly, the reason why Yue State existed was to guard the mausoleum for Dayu. After more than 20 generations, the throne of Yue was passed to Yunchang, the king of Yue. Yunchang was in the same period with Helu, the king of Wu, and the two neighbors often fought.

After the death of Yunchang, Gou Jian became the king of Yue. Helu took advantage of the new king of Yue to ascend the throne, and the country was unstable, so he sent troops to attack Yue. As a result, the Vietnamese soldiers sent suicide squads to frighten their opponents by suicide, and then attacked Wu Jun on a large scale. He Lu was defeated by the army and died. On his deathbed, he let the prince Fu Chai take over the throne. He also asked people to remind him that it was Gou Jian who killed your father.

After three years of preparation, Gou Jian could not sit still. He understood that the strength of Wu was far higher than that of Yue, so he wanted to attack Wu first. Fan Li, one of his subordinates, disagreed with Gou Jian's idea and tried his best to dissuade him. However, Gou Jian went his own way and sent troops to attack the state of Wu.

As you can imagine, King Wu's Fu Chai launched a national elite army to attack, and defeated the Yue army in Fu Jiao. Gou Jian had to retreat to Kuaiji mountain with 5000 disabled soldiers. But Fu Chai didn't let him go. Wu Jun surrounded Kuaiji mountain.

Only at this time did Gou Jian realize his regret. He repeatedly apologized to Fan Li. I shouldn't have listened to Mr. Gou's words, so I ended up in such a field. You see, what should we do next? Fan Li was very calm. Now he had to surrender. He tried his best to send some treasures. If people didn't agree with him, you would have to put down your face and serve the king of Wu in person. At this point, Gou Jian had nothing to say, so he sent the literati to seek peace with he Lu.

It was said that Gou Jian was willing to serve himself personally. As soon as Fu Chai's eyes lit up, he was about to agree, but Wu Zixu stopped him. The state of Yue doesn't mean you can get it. God wants to give it to you this time. After this village, there is no shop. At this time, Fu Chai still trusted Wu Zixu very much, so he refused Wen Zhong.

He was a slave to others, but the other side didn't accept it. Gou Jian really had a dead heart. He plans to kill his wife and children, destroy all valuable things, and then go to fight with Helu. At this time, Wen Zhong stopped him. Your majesty, this trip is not without harvest. I found that Bo Chu, a doctor of the state of Wu, might be a breakthrough. This guy is greedy, but Helu attaches great importance to him. We can work hard from him.

A few days later, Wen Zhong came to Fu Chai again, this time Bo Chu brought him. Wen Zhong now has the bottom of his heart and speaks very hard. I hope the king can accept my treasure and accept Gou Jian's surrender. If you still don't want to forgive Gou Jian, he can only kill his wife and children, burn all the treasures, and take the last 5000 people and Wu Jun to fight for it. We know that this is a fight against a stone with an egg, but if it comes to that time, Wu Jun would not have lost nothing.

Listening to Wen Zhong's words, he was really humble and tough. Fu Chai couldn't help looking at him more. At this time, Bo Chu spoke to one side. King, in my opinion, Gou Jian was really afraid of being beaten this time. He surrendered to you. That's a hundred sincere words. Please accept it.

As soon as Fu Chai was soft hearted, he was ready to agree, but at this time Wu Zixu spoke again. If you don't destroy Yue now, you will regret it later. Gou Jian is a wise monarch. Fan Li and Wen Zhong are both good officials. If you let them go back to China, it will certainly be the disaster of the state of Wu.

Wu Zixu was telling the truth, but this time Fu Chai didn't listen to him, because he trusted Bo Chu more. The existence of Bo Chu was not only Gou Jian's luck, but also Fu Chai's misfortune. Soon afterwards, Gou Jian, king of Yue, returned to China. From that day on, the great cause of Yue's extermination of Wu entered the countdown stage.
