China has a long history, the feudal period has more than 2,000 years, in this period there have also been many historical figures, they have had a brilliant period in their lives, there have also been a stage of decline, posterity for these people also have different evaluations. For example, Li Hongzhang, a late Qing dynasty minister who often appears in history books, always felt that he was a traitor to the country, but when we entered society, we found that he also had his own grievances. There are many other people who are diametrically opposed to him, historical figures that we have admired since childhood, and when we grow up, we know that they are all bad people.
Author of Mercy Nong
Ancient times left us countless historical allusions, in addition to the emergence of a lot of poetry works, the Tang Dynasty is the peak of poetry, the works handed down during that period, now many of them appear in textbooks, Mercy Nong is very familiar to us, many kindergarten children can also recite, his author is Li Shen. To be able to write such a poem is full of compassion for the ordinary peasant and the feeling that he should be a man of high character. But in fact, after he entered the career, he was diametrically opposed to his own poem and lived a luxurious and lavish life.
Especially after he made a steady rise in the official arena, he also gradually became a corrupt official, once he served as a feasting guest in the Yangzhou area, and after someone attended his banquet, he wrote a poem to satirize him, which means that the banquet is full of fine wine and delicacies, as well as countless beautiful women and singers, for these Li Gentry have become commonplace and accustomed to it. But it made me unbearable when I saw this scene. Li Sheng, who was corrupt and oppressive of the people and advocated torture, was later liquidated by the imperial court and relieved of his official positions, ordering his descendants not to enter the official field.
Cai Lun of papermaking
Cai Lun we are more familiar with, in the ancient paper before the invention, people wrote materials are mostly silk cloth, and even used tortoise shells and animal fur. Although there are places to write, but these things are also very difficult to store and preserve, and later someone invented white paper, but these white paper costs expensive, only a few people can afford to use, ordinary people can not reach. Later, Cai Lun summed up the experience and reformed the previous papermaking technology, which eventually reduced the cost of papermaking significantly, so that paper spread throughout the country and was affordable to ordinary people. He made great contributions to the spread of culture and the development of civilization in the whole world, but no one expected it. Cai Lun was eventually given poison and died because of his participation in the political struggle of the court.
During the Han and Emperor periods, foreign relatives controlled the government, and after Cai Lun entered the dynasty, in order to be able to promote the ranks, he wantonly courted the empress, and even personally participated in the persecution of harem nobles, participated in the struggle for the throne, and in a short period of time he was also beautiful, but when the empress dowager died and the new emperor took the throne, he was given poisoned wine for participating in the imperial throne and died a very disgraceful death.
Chiseled walls steal light
Nowadays, when many students are reading, in order to let them cherish today's excellent conditions and hope that children can read seriously, so they will tell them about some things that the ancients did to read, and the wall stealing light is one of them. He tells the story of Kuang Heng of the Han Dynasty, who especially liked to read when he was very young, but because his family was poor, there were no oil lamp candles for lighting at home. But even so, he did not want to give up reading, knowing that there were candles in the neighbor's house, so he secretly drilled a hole in the wall of his house and let the candlelight shine through the hole on the book. Kuang, with this story, was also praised by posterity. He studied hard even under difficult conditions. I hope that future generations can follow his example and learn well, and later this person also became the prime minister of the dynasty. However, when he was an official, he used his power arbitrarily and was very treacherous.
His son, who had served as a general, was killed while drunk and was taken to prison by officers and soldiers. At that time, other officials united with his brother to rescue him from prison. This matter was later discovered by the government, kuang heng removed his hat, barefoot to the emperor to plead guilty for his son, the emperor at this time very much valued him, ordered the emissary to take back his shoes and hat did not punish him. Later, he took advantage of his duties and handed over the land of the state to his subordinates without authorization.
In ancient times, land was very important, even the princes could not monopolize the land, they had to abide by the legal system of the country, and as one of the three dukes, he assisted the entire country's government. To grasp the registration of fields throughout the country and understand the boundaries of various places, but when he determined the number of fields and demarcated the boundaries of fiefdoms, he violated the laws of the country, secretly stole land and increased his own interests, and the officials around him flattered him, he simply deceived and deceived, and handed over these lands to his subordinates without authorization.
