Why did the ancients call the throne of the emperor "the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan"?
In the ancient legends of China, there is a magical story about the throne of the emperor called the "Ninety-Five Honor". This is not only a simple name, but also contains profound cultural and philosophical connotations, leaving a profound warning to the world.
The story takes place in distant antiquity, when the heavens and the earth first opened and everything was chaotic. In this vast land, a wise and martial king came into being, and he was a legendary figure known as the "Dragon Emperor" by later generations. The Dragon Emperor unified the chaotic world and built a prosperous and powerful empire.
During the reign of the Dragon Emperor, he made great efforts to govern the country, diligent and loved the people. He is well aware of his responsibilities and must always be sober and alert. However, as the years passed, the Dragon Emperor gradually discovered that the temptation of power had led many people to lose their way, even some of his cronies and important ministers.
One day, the Dragon Emperor was looking through ancient books in the library of the imperial palace and happened to read the hexagram about the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" in the "Zhou Yi". He fell into deep thought and began to ponder the meaning behind the title.
After some careful consideration, the Dragon Emperor finally understood the true meaning of the "Ninety-Five Honor". He summoned his ministers and explained to them the origin and meaning of the title. It turns out that "nine" represents the ultimate and highest in numbers, while "five" represents neutrality and balance. The combination of "nine" and "five" not only implies that the emperor has supreme authority and dignity, but also reminds the emperor to always be sober and vigilant, and not to be confused by power.
The Dragon Emperor also told his ministers that a true emperor must not only have great power and noble status, but also have noble character and outstanding wisdom. Only in this way can we lead the country to prosperity and strength, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment.
However, the Dragon Emperor also knows that power is a double-edged sword. It can make people great as well as depraved. Therefore, he often reminds himself and those around him to always be vigilant and not to be swallowed up by power.
By chance, the Dragon Emperor met a young official. This official was smart and talented, and was greatly appreciated by the Dragon Emperor. However, over time, the official gradually became deluded by power and began to become greedy and corrupt.
The Dragon Emperor found out about the change in this official and was very sorry in his heart. He personally approached the official and had a long conversation with him. During the conversation, the Dragon Emperor once again emphasized the meaning of the "Ninety-Five Venerable" and reminded him to be sober and alert at all times. However, the official has been caught up in it and has finally reached the point of no return.
This story has left a profound warning to the world. It teaches us that power is a double-edged sword that can make people great and degrade. Therefore, we must always be sober and vigilant and not be deceived by power. At the same time, this story also reminds us that we must have noble character and excellent wisdom in order to truly become a great emperor.
Looking back at the emperors in the long history, they are either wise and powerful, or mediocre and incompetent, but without exception, they all face the test of power. Only those emperors who can always remain sober and vigilant, with noble character and outstanding wisdom, can lead the country to prosperity and strength, and win the respect and love of the people. And those emperors who were bewitched by power and went to degenerate can only leave a reputation for eternity and be spurned by future generations.
So, as modern people, how should we understand and inherit the ancient and profound title of "Ninety-Five"? Perhaps we can draw wisdom and strength from it, and always remind ourselves to stay sober and vigilant, and not to be confused by power and desire. At the same time, we should also strive to improve our character and wisdom, become a responsible and effective person, and contribute to the development and progress of society.
