I didn't understand why the Spring and Autumn Warring States, where the fire of war never stopped, gave birth to a brilliant pre-Qin culture, and one after another big coffee, thought, culture, art, Qi Men Dun Jia... It was not until I read the Chairman's words: battlefield yellow flowers are particularly fragrant, that I suddenly realized that in fact, war and culture are not in conflict, and sometimes they can even complement each other, thereby stimulating a deeper appeal.
The reign of the Western Han Dynasty, the rhetoric of the Luwen Dafu is popular, the literary style is flashy, and the war at the end of the Han Dynasty has always had the bones of Jian'an. The Great Tang Dynasty was prosperous, and poetry was everywhere, but it was not as thick as the late Tang Dynasty. The Japanese poet Ōnuma Pillow Mountain wrote two Chinese poems: "A favorite of the Merry Currents, the late Tang poems of the characters of the Six Dynasties." That's what it means.
In the pre-Qin period, there were more cultural people in the Warring States in comparison, but in the Spring and Autumn Period, there were two big coffees among the big coffee, Confucius and Laozi. The two Confucian religions founded by these two people opened the two main ideological and cultural veins of the Chinese nation and have been passed down to this day.
Let's talk about Confucius today. Confucius was a member of the Song state, and because the Song state was built by microns, he was a descendant of Shang Tang. Later, the family was in civil unrest, and Confucius's ancestors fled to the state of Lu (陬邑, in present-day Qufu, Shandong), where they settled. Confucius, his father's name was Shu Liang, and he and a woman surnamed Yan Yehe gave birth to him. Don't mess with it, this word is the original words in the historical record, which means marriage that is not a good match, because at that time Shu Liang was already 70, Confucius was only 18 years old at the level, and it was really a tree of pear flowers pressing begonias.
Confucius was born with a distinctive appearance, with the top of his head convex back and forth and concave in the middle. Shu Liang Lu was also open-minded, seeing that his son's brain type was similar to a mountain peak, he was simply funny and named Qiu. This is a physiological defect, but God takes care of it, and does not want Confucius's defects to be too exposed, so he grew his size to 192, which is a height that many people cannot see his brain type.
It is said that Confucius's body is too suitable for being a soldier to fight, but he has found a different way, abandoned military and literary affairs, and could have relied on his physique to eat, but he had to rely on talent.
Confucius has been well-read since he was a child, and he especially liked Zhou Li's set. Not long after he was born, his uncle Liang Mi died, and his family gradually became poor, which did not affect Confucius's enthusiasm and state of learning, and he studied hard all the way, and by the age of seventeen, he had already gained a lot of fame.
Twenty years old, Confucius entered the army, with a humble official position, a storekeeper. Confucius was serious and did a good job, but it was difficult to promote, and two years later he was transferred to the post of Benmawen, in charge of animal husbandry, and still a sesame official. Confucius also laughed at himself, "I am also a lowly, so I can despise things."
At the age of thirty, Confucius founded a private school. If you can't be the chief, you will become the principal, and as a result, this side job was chosen correctly, and it became a hit and attracted countless fans. So Confucius evaluated himself, "standing at thirty."
At the age of thirty-five, when Lu was in civil turmoil, Confucius went to the state of Qi, and the then monarch Qi Jinggong appreciated him and asked him for advice on the way of government, and Confucius said, "Prince, courtier, father, son." Qi Jinggong was very happy to reuse Confucius, but Prime Minister Yan Ying disagreed, he thought that Confucius's set was too formalistic, lectures were okay, and it was useless to govern the country. Qi Jinggong accepted the suggestion and ignored Confucius.
At that time, the music of Qi was very famous, basically equivalent to Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 80s. Confucius listened to music when he was bored, but as a result, he became an audiophile and listened to "March without knowing the taste of meat". Later, after hearing enough, I found that it was embarrassing that no one took care of it, so I had to return to Lu Country.
In 500 BC, Confucius ushered in the highlight of his political career, serving as the Grand Commander of the State of Lu, taking the photo, and becoming a great official under one person and above ten thousand people. This year, Confucius was 52 years old.
It needs to be emphasized here that everyone knows that Confucius was a thinker and educator, but in fact, Confucius has stronger political ability and has high political ambitions. Confucius ruled the state of Lu for only one year, and the state of Lu was ruled greatly, which made the surrounding countries feel afraid. Especially Qi Guo, seeing the old neighbor's days getting more and more prosperous, his heart was not very comfortable. Someone gave Qi Jun an idea, let's bring a few sugar-coated shells to Lu Guo, and send more treasures and beauties, so that they themselves can fall. This trick received miraculous results, the monarch of Lu State was addicted to enjoyment, neglected in political affairs, Confucius repeatedly suggested that it had no effect, gradually became frustrated, barely worked for three years, it was really unbearable, and simply wrote a letter of resignation: The world is so big, I want to see it. Since then, he has traveled around the world for fourteen years with a large group of students.
Fifty-five-year-old Confucius was not old enough, and he was still eager to use his political talents. However, in the late Spring and Autumn years, when wars were frequent, the general trend of bad manners and happiness was irreversible, and Confucius ran into walls everywhere with his mind full of untimely disappointments, and was not welcomed anywhere. After a long time, Zilu, Zigong and other disciples began to question the teacher's philosophy, and Confucius himself was a little shaken, but Yan Hui supported Confucius, which made Confucius firm in his beliefs and still did not forget his original intention in the difficult situation. According to historical records, Confucius was trapped in Cai Guo, starved of food for seven days, and still "preached the chanting of string songs without fail", and Zilu was anxious to question Confucius, who said the famous saying, "The gentleman is poor, and the villain is poor." ”
Fourteen years later, Confucius was sixty-eight years old. In that year, the State of Qi came to attack the State of Lu, and Confucius's student Ran Qiu was appointed as a general and the Qi army. Lu Guojun was very happy, he heard that Ran Qiu was a disciple of Confucius, and he thought that the apprentices were so powerful, and the teacher must be even more amazing, and immediately recalled Confucius to the country.
Confucius returned to China to see the Duke of Lu Wei, and he didn't know what to nag, anyway, he didn't use him later. However, at this time, Confucius's mentality had changed, and after reading thousands of sails, he was no longer the boy he was at the beginning, with a pale face and completely lying flat.
For the next five years, Confucius edited the poetry book Yi Chunqiu and continued to teach and teach apprentices. "Shiji Confucius Family" recorded: "Confucius taught with poetry, books, rites, and music, and his disciples covered 3,000 Yan, and there were 70 people who knew six arts. In 479 BC, Confucius died at the age of 73.
I don't want to dwell on Confucius's achievements. If a person's thoughts can influence a country for 2,500 years, there is no need to make any judgments, and this has even gone beyond the realm of right and wrong, whether right or wrong, it has penetrated into the bone marrow.
