What was the Real Life of the Ancients Like (28)

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the first era of talent concentration was more than 100 years ago, when it was the era of the overlords, Qi Huan Gong, Song Xianggong, Qin Mugong, etc., as well as their right and left arms Baili Xi, Guan Zhong, BinSu Wu, Wu Chen, and countless others.

And 100 years later, around the 50s of 500 BC, it was another era of interpersonal meetings, with Confucius, Ji Za, Zi Chan, Lao Tzu, Yan Bao, Sima Yong Tho, etc., and in the next thirty years, there were also a large number of gods such as Sun Wu, Fan Li, and Wu Zixu.

Therefore, the history of the Spring and Autumn Period is good to look at here, walking in the time tunnel of history, casually throwing a hammer out, you can smash several historical celebrities.

In that year, if you can know a few words, you are already a local scholar, you can write for people when you go out, this is already a cultured person, so when you want to go into the official family to make a living, a little skill is almost the same, so it will appear that there are many historical celebrities, and the ideas of these historical celebrities are very simple ways of dealing with the world in the early stage of human society, which is practical today, of course, most of them are not applicable, and there is an era of values in an era.

Speaking of this, by the way, the matter of recognizing words, in fact, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the writing and language of various places were different, so it was not until the later Qin Shi Huang that he wanted to write the same text, that is, for the unity of administration and the unity of culture. At that time, there were thousands of languages in China, large and small, not to mention, each prince had its own official script, although at that time to Ya dialect as the unified official language, but there are still great differences in the place, not to mention that in those years, that is, now the information exchange is so developed at the moment, our village and the village 15 kilometers away The language is also slightly different, so at that time the script and language can be said to be different in every region of the world.

At that time, not only was the language not uniform, but the writing was also extremely cumbersome, and the oracle bone or seal characters at that time were in the early stages of hieroglyphic evolution, without excessive simplification, so the word was very cumbersome, you can recognize that you are already a scholar, if you write it, it is a great writer. It can be said that the illiteracy rate at that time was almost close to 100%.

Let's not talk about the Spring and Autumn Period, let's say that in the 1950s, China's illiteracy rate was 80%, and in the 90s, there was still a 70% illiteracy rate, so when we were young, the most common sentence on the lips of the previous generation was "Eating the loss of no culture."

However, with the implementation of nine years of compulsory education, in the 21st century, the illiteracy rate in our country is only less than 3%, but with such a large population, the illiteracy is also tens of millions of people.

So everyone should know that ancient education is aristocratic education! Our country's ability to cultivate land quietly for thousands of years has an important relationship with the lack of education.

So we often watch costume TV, women's knowledge of Dali, men's export into chapters, women's beauty is like heavenly immortals, men's personable, it seems that this is the norm of the ancients. In fact, this kind of person can't count a few people looking at history with lanterns. In fact, the real image of the ancient people, most of the men are the image of the peasants, coarse cloth and linen, a stinky sweat, the female is the housekeeper, only promises.

Because this is the majority, and it is the vast majority, these are the real histories. But this kind of history is what no one likes to see, and everyone is more willing to look at those that have been handed down by the correct history, and they are more willing to look at the history that has been handed down with purpose.

So this section I'm going to talk about real history!

I still remember the sentence "history is used to be forgotten" when I wrote about the Qin Dynasty in 2017, and the history left behind is with historical purpose.

535 BC! Wu Guo A peasant woman's life!

Wu!

At that time, Wu Guo Changshu was still a small town, the peasant Wang Laohao got up at four o'clock in the morning, picked up the agricultural tools, that was just yesterday with the village blacksmith custom plough, or pig iron, Wang Laohao is particularly fond, finally used the new production tools, he is one of the few farmers in the village to use iron tools, because his neighbors still use hardwood toss.

Early in the morning, Wang Laohao used hemp rope through the plough eye and tied it to his waist, he pulled with his old father in front, and his wife held the plough in the back, until ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was already high, and Wang Laohao's family went home to eat. Take a nap after dinner, and in the afternoon, go to the field to do some work, and return home at four o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun is approaching twilight.

Aunt Zhang next door came to visit from afar, brought two ducks, stewed a pot, and gave Wang Laohao a bowl across the wall. Aunt Wang was widowed at an early age, and after that, she did not remarry, and the relationship between the two families was harmonious. Usually, Aunt Zhang has a seven-headed and eight-difficult family, and this Wang Laohao also takes more care.

After the family ate, Aunt Zhang came to visit the door with a sunflower cake, and the aunt entered the door on a cross-legged kang and ripped off the sunflower cake in half, and the two families sniffed melon seeds.

Aunt Zhang patted the leg of Wang Lao's good wife and whispered, "I heard that we are going to fight with the Chu State again, and all the grain from the previous season has been handed over, and I don't know if I can make ends meet with the rest." ”

Wang Laohao was crouching in the doorway at this time chewing leaves, and when he heard this, he paused and did not say anything more.

Aunt Zhang and Wang Laohao's daughter-in-law kept nagging until the bright moon was empty, and Wang Laohao sat on the stone at the door for an afternoon, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a night without a word, Wang Laohao wiped the iron plough he had used during the day and went to bed early.

The next day Wang Laohao went to the river early to catch two fish, one for Aunt Zhang, one for his daughter-in-law to stew, this fish has not yet been served, Aunt Zhang shouted Wang Laohao: Old Wang, houcun is talking about conscription, you go and see.

This old man frowned, so he shrugged his hemp shoes and strode toward the back village.

At this time, a person dressed better than ordinary people was shouting loudly, "The twelve water armies of the Chu State have come down the river, and there are not enough soldiers in front of us, and we can swim in the water, and we will go to Wuzhou tomorrow." ”

Elder Wang took a good look at a village bully who usually liked to bully the villagers, and standing behind the soldier commander at this time, it seemed that he was the leader who had been appointed.

Wang Laohao was named by the village bully on the spot, Wang Laohao did not say a word, he did not dare, because there were already two people who did not want to go were beaten to the ground, and at this time they were still wiping nosebleeds.

Back at home, Wang Laohao, his daughter-in-law, Aunt Zhang, and his old father explained some things, saying that as short as two or three months, and as long as a year, they would return. The daughter-in-law cried for a while, and Zhang Da's aunt also sighed long and short.

Although the wars of the Wu Kingdom are all small fights, there will also be casualties. The old father told Wang Laohao, "Baby, when you fight when the time comes, don't fight ahead, when you really fight, you will fight if you can fight, and if you can't fight, you will run, you have to come back." ”

Wang Laohao said that it was okay, I knew.

The next day, before leaving, a group of elderly people and women in the village stood at the head of the village and sent a group of young people out of the village, all of them sad and sad.

Cold and summer, in the blink of an eye is a year. Wang Lao's good daughter-in-law did not know how many times she cried, and the old father did not know how many times she went to the village bully's house to ask, and there was no news from the whole village.

What a torment.

After another ten days, the village bully returned with people, but the number was much less than when he left.

A village of women and elderly people are running to meet them, and they want to know if their relatives have returned.

Wang Laohao's daughter-in-law ran to the entrance of the village and swept through the crowd several times, but she did not see Wang Laohao, so she asked the village bully, my family's.

The village bully only said one word and died.

"Those who don't come back are dead."

Suddenly, the village was crying, and the other side came back with great joy and crying, and it was good to come back, secretly glad that his family was okay.

All year round, reincarnation and reincarnation.

20 years later, Wang Laohao's daughter-in-law is already a fifty-year-old woman, sitting sadly on the stone in the doorway to feed the ducks.

Zhang Dazi died of illness as early as five years ago, and the old husband also went away because of Sizi's sorrow and thoughts, and her daughter also married out five years ago and did not return home for a long time.

Wang Lao's good daughter-in-law has no culture, nor can she talk to people about the pain in her heart, and often sheds tears while eating.

Fortunately, after a long time, I can't remember what Wang Laohao looked like.

That night, Wang Lao's good daughter-in-law also left the world in the grass hut.

This little story ends here, you ask what life is. I know that the lights are red and green, the big fish and the big meat, the stars and the moon are a lifetime, but I know that this is not the majority.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, and even in the agricultural society of 2000, China's men were simple and simple peasant households, and even many low-level officials with low salaries often farmed their own land, the sun tanned their skin, and at the age of thirty they had wrinkles on their faces, they were all on their backs, hunched over, and yes, they were oppressed for a long time.

Chinese women are rules and regulations, husbands and godsons, only promises, a pair of scissors on the kang, a shovel on the ground, busy inside and outside, life is plain and plain.

Only when most people do things that are not troublesome in a moderate world will our agricultural culture be gentle and cruel for three thousand years.

Now I often chat with some children, it should be with my own customers, because I am also selling Hanfu, the words of these children are, if in ancient times, how good, you can wear beautiful Hanfu every day, chant poetry and painting, do not have to go to work and so on.

I felt a pang of bitterness in my heart, yes, there was such a life in ancient times, but this was a very small number of people, and most of the ancient women were dressed in coarse cloth and linen, and their husbands shaved food in the field, and their husbands and children were actually very tired.

Although I am not as tired as I am now, I am not happy. I would tell them in front of such customers, "Well, you can do this now, you can also wear beautiful Hanfu chanting poems, you can choose the life you want." ”

Those words that hit the children, I can't say, leave those ancient beautiful imaginations in the nostalgia of today's people, and hope that they can live the good life they want.

Regarding the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, this is actually the case, because I am writing the history of war, and everyone may think that history is war, but in fact, most of the blank periods in history are divided into fields, fishing, basket weaving, and beating children.

In 536 BC, Fan Li was born, and in 535 BC, Sun Wu was born. At this time, the great military master Sima Rang Tho also began to step onto the stage of the State of Qi, which were the era of those great gods.

A thousand bones will be withered, it is a fact, but also a sigh!
