Analects 15.26.Zi Yue: "I am still with the history of Que Wen Ye, and those who have horses borrow people to take advantage of it, and now they are dead!" ”
I am also engaged in historical research, and generally only the unfinished draft will be left blank or red to be examined. If there is really no way to figure it out, then it is ambiguous, or list the possibilities, and it is impossible to leave blank. The blank space is not serious enough, it seems that there is no need, and Confucius's own "Spring and Autumn" does not leave blank.
Zhuang Zi said: "Husbands respect the ancient and humble the present, and scholars are also like this." Confucius also had this problem. Although Xia, Shang, and Zhou most highly respected Zhou, he always liked to say "ancient people" and had illusions about ancient society. Such a passage, it is estimated that his old man accidentally read the manuscript of someone, with good intentions, he thought that the ancient people wrote history rigorously, que wen to wait for the generous family. Is it possible that I am so obsessed with ancient times because I was born in a chaotic world?
