There are talented people in the Jiangshan generation, and there are always people who can't sleep. "The Book of Poetry": "It is the sleep that is xing, it is the occupation of my dreams", those saints in the Spring and Autumn And Warring States period, felt that sleeping is a very mysterious thing, only in sleep, it is possible to dream of ancestors, dream of auspicious omens. If you specifically talk about sleeping, you may not be able to say it from morning to night. Zeng Zi said, "The pension of filial piety is also ... Rest in his sleep, and be loyal to his diet", to be a filial piety, you must first let your elders sleep well. This can be said to be a few heights.
Sleeping is a very relaxing thing, almost all people will take sleep as a matter of indulgence, even if the princes of Tianzi really want to sleep, they can't care about any etiquette, they can sleep on the bed, they can sleep on the mat, they can sleep even in the car, the sense of manners is gone, the sense of majesty is gone, and the tall one is not wanted. Sleeping is sleeping, it is so simple, the so-called "people do not eat or clothe and sleep more", no different from today.
"Warring States Policy": "The king of Qin is afraid, sleeps restlessly, and does not want to eat", even the king of a country has no way, if there are more things in his heart, even the biggest nobles cannot sleep. "Spring and Autumn Zuo Clan Biography": "Borrow the car of the Yi people... Sleeping in it and fleeing", Lu Guo's Yang Hu sat on the car to escape from Lu Guo, and as a result, he fell asleep in the car, which can be said to be a very big heart. There is also "Chinese" in which "the king sleeps on the ground with his shares", and Wu Wang Fucha is indeed a very open monarch, and he actually sleeps directly on the ground.
The Spring and Autumn Warring States, which have so many conspiracies, just talk about sleeping, up to the nobles, down to the common people, that is very much hope to have a good sleep. Sleeping on the bed, I will not care about those who deceive me in the court, and I will not be entangled in the comings and goings of you on the battlefield, "the bed of the bed, the clothes of the clothes, the zhang of the play", there is no pressure, just like today's people, pick up the mobile phone and play casually, play and fall asleep.
In "Zhuangzi", it is said: "There is a big tree in Imako... The saint in Zhuangzi's eyes rested on the edge of a big tree, and fell asleep at leisure, which is the highest realm. Of course, in any era, not many people sleep peacefully. Most people always think a lot in their hearts, Confucius said: "Sleep all night", Confucius's apprentice Zigong also said: "Do not sleep and do not eat", it is true that there must be a teacher and an apprentice, and finally get "even the bones stand". In this way, Confucius and his disciples have a relatively large probability of standing on the bone, and the wide body and fat body may be relatively small.
The history books read: "The widow is restless, and the food is not sweet." Monarchs are often busy with major events, and sitting and falling asleep happen from time to time, and Qi Jinggong has a "sister-in-law sitting and sleeping". When Qin Xiaogong saw Shang Martingale, Shang Martin talked about the principles of governing the country, saying that the events were particularly long, and Xiao Gong was also "sleeping all the time", that is, dozing off. It almost makes people suspect that Shang Martin did not convince Xiao Gong, but said that he trapped Xiao Gong. As for all the monarchs, most of them want to dream of one person when they sleep, that is, the Duke of Zhou. If you dream of Zhou Gong, it is a great auspicious omen.
Mencius said, "Rejoice but not sleep," saying that if you are too happy, you will not be able to sleep, which is obviously true. Confucius and his disciples could not sleep and it was normal, there was a Qiguo man who worried all day long about "the collapse of heaven and earth, the death of the sender, the waste of sleeping and eating", the sorrow of Confucius and his disciples was that they did not meet with their talents, and they could not display their talents in the court and save the era of collapse and happiness. Qi Guo was worried about the affairs of heaven and earth, so it became a joke.
And because children can't sleep for a long time, if you can find a lot of records in the Book of Verses, such as "My heart is sad... False sleep forever sighed", and "tooth lack sleep... The shape is like a wooden skeleton, and the heart is like dead ash." There is also Wen Jiang of the State of Qi, because he was accidentally rejected by prince Zheng Guo, that is also "half sitting and half sleeping, sleeping and eating are wasted". This may be the Spring and Autumn Warring States version of "long nights and no heart sleep".
Among Confucius's disciples, there was also a very powerful figure named Zaiyu. But Zaiyu did one thing and was greatly rebuked by Confucius, that is, "Zaiyu Day Sleep". Confucius believed that Zaiyu "cannot be carved from decaying wood." In fact, others just sleep during the day. This is simply unimaginable, if many people today have the habit of taking a nap, then in the eyes of Confucius, it will be all decaying wood.
