George Bernard Shaw once said:
"Life is not a short candle, but a torch that we hold for the time being. We must burn it to the fullest and give it to the next generation
。 "
The national culture is passed down from generation to generation, and the family spirit is enduring, which is the tradition of the Chinese nation. The long road of life, people always have to pursue, the shining stars in the night sky have become the highest moral code, guiding countless people forward.
In the history of China,
The title of Yan Sheng Gong has always been considered synonymous with tradition, cultivation and erudition.
However, with the development of the times, people's titles of Yan Sheng Gong changed to seventy-two generations of domestic slaves and twenty-five courtiers. From Yan Sheng Gong to 72 generations of domestic slaves and 25 courtiers, what happened to the long history? Why is the once brilliant Yan Sheng Gong pointed out by thousands of people and is so unbearable in the eyes of many netizens?
Trace the source
The origin of the official position of Yan Sheng Gong has quite a lot of roots in China. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucius founded the Confucian school, and the Confucianism advocated by Confucius also became the basic idea of the rulers of various dynasties, and Confucian culture became the mainstream of traditional Chinese culture.
Birth, old age, illness and death is a process that people must go through,
No one will ever exist in this world
But the wealth they left behind will be passed on forever.
As the founder of Confucian culture, Confucius became an object of popularity among thousands of people, and people called him The Sage of Kong as a way to show respect for him. The Western Han Dynasty carried out the ideological strategy of deposing hundreds of families and respecting Confucianism alone, and Confucius's social status reached a new height. At that time, Confucius had died, and Confucius's descendants also began to accept the blessings of their ancestors and obtained hereditary titles.
For thousands of years,
The official titles of Confucius's descendants changed repeatedly
From Fengshenggong to Yanshenggong, in 1104 AD, the Song Dynasty officially gave the name Yanshenggong to Confucius's descendants. Since then, the title of Yan Sheng Gong has been accompanied by the birth, growth and success of Confucius's descendants.
The superficial truth can often confuse people's eyes, paper can not cover the fire after all, and the day the truth is revealed, no one can do anything.
The Anglicans of all dynasties have always been the object of respect
However, with the development of history, the image of Yan Sheng Gong has quietly changed in people's hearts, from the original saint to the current seventy-two generations of domestic slaves and twenty-five courtiers.
Adore the rising sun
Integrity and fidelity are the basic principles of human life, and if morality is lost, it is difficult for people to gain a foothold in society. Yan Sheng Gong enjoyed the benefits brought to them by various dynasties, but he went farther and farther down the road of becoming inflamed and attached to the situation and seeing the wind make the rudder.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Central Plains were in social turmoil
As the core promoter of Chinese thought, Yan Sheng Gong has an extremely important mission
However, he simultaneously accepted the rewards of the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin, Mongolian Yuan and other forces, and naturally maneuvered between various regimes.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Yan Sheng Gong wrote to the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to request the suppression of the ming rebels, but secretly sent his own son to advise Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In the eyes of Yan Sheng gong, whether it is the Yuan Dynasty in power or the Ming Dynasty in power,
His interests and position will not waver in any way
Choosing to support both parties at the same time will not put yourself in a passive situation.
The Yuan Dynasty was gone, and the Then Yan Sheng Gong personally went to Nanjing to pay homage to Zhu Yuanzhang in order to gain the glory given by the new master. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army was ready to enter the customs, and when it was still far away, the clan members of the Yanshenggong family were ready, and the horses and money were properly prepared, completely disregarding their old masters.
In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Shikai stole the fruits of the revolution and intended to go against the general trend and claim the title of emperor, and Yan Sheng Gong once again acted perversely for the glory of his family.
Blatantly sent a request for Yuan Shikai to ascend the throne
。
Since the establishment of the official position of Yan Sheng Gong, seeing the wind make the rudder, the two ends of the first rat, a pile, and a piece of it all shows the despicableness of the Yan Sheng Gong family, and the good birds choose trees and perch has always been the code of conduct of yan Sheng Gong, so
They have lost their backbone
, lost the standard of judging right and wrong, and lost the most basic morality.
On this road of power and honor, Yan Sheng Gong has gone too far, and the seventy-two generations of domestic slaves and twenty-five courtiers are by no means empty.
Loss of bone qi
The habit of acting in the eyes of people and seeking advantages and avoiding harm has always been a good trick of Yan Sheng Gong, and this style of behavior is particularly prominent in modern China. The YanShenggong family has been a courtier of twenty-five dynasties,
Despite his despicable behavior, he never hurt China's roots
。 However, in the dilapidated situation of modern times, Yan Sheng Gong is even more lawless.
During the Guangxu years, Germany forcibly occupied Jiaozhou Bay, and as the Yan Sheng Gong who was canonized by the Qing Dynasty, he should have spoken to the emperor and asked the whole country to hate the enemy, but the practice of Yan Sheng Gong was once again a big surprise.
Yan Sheng Gong took the initiative to put the portrait of the German emperor into his mansion
, in order to express their own submission.
Soon after, the British once again invaded Chinese territory, and The Holy Father of Yan once again placed the portrait of the British emperor in the mansion for offering. Under the circumstance that the Qing Dynasty should have safeguarded national sovereignty and jointly defended foreign insults, Yan Sheng Gong once again found a way out for himself, ready to replace his own cool tree.
This spineless face was once again despised by the people, and ordinary people still knew that they would raise their proud heads in the face of foreign invaders.
The Prophet, who had read the books of the sages, bowed his knees and left his dignity behind
。 Enslaving foreign invaders is not the end of Yan Sheng Gong's loss of morality, and when the enemy army invaded China, Yan Sheng Gong continued to exert his unique ability to survive.
When the enemy army captured Qufu in Shandong Province, and was on the verge of yan sheng gong's ancestral temple, Yan sheng gong held a banquet at his home, and the object of the banquet was all the leaders of the enemy army's invasion of China. Yan Sheng Gong once again smiled at the enemy army invading China, vainly trying to exchange his dignity for peace.
Since the establishment of the position of The Holy Father, they have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have gone through 72 years of time, but they have been undignified domestic slaves for 72 years; even so,
They also harbored dissent in 25 dynasties
, became a vassal of the 25 dynasties. The 72 generations of domestic slaves and the 25 dynasties are the true portrayal of Yan Sheng Gong, and it is also the deepest hatred of posterity for their inflamed and attached power.
In the long life, people always have to experience peaks and valleys, life ups and downs are common things, and finding a way out is the top priority. There is no mountain that exists forever, and if you can really find it, you are the highest mountain.
Ages
The only thing you can always rely on is yourself
。 Life is not easy, but people need to live clearly. May everyone be able to adhere to the moral code in their hearts and become a consistent and worthy winner in life.
