Description: This is the speech transcript for my two videos.
Hello friends, my name is Zagu Tanjin, and my real name is Li Lianli. I often think of 20 words these two days. You say you are fair, I say I am fair, justice is not fair, only God knows.
Be fair and don't drill the tip of the bull's horn
What do people value and desire most about the things in this world? The words "fair" and "fair" are words. People pursue them on behalf of people and there is hope, which is a good thing. However, you should not be more serious about death. It will be you who will suffer.
You see my family has two sons. The eldest son often pointed at me and said, "Is it fair to make the same mistake, not to talk about him, just to talk about me?" "It reminds me of when I was a kid and blamed my father in the same way. I used to say this to my father when I was a kid, and of course, I didn't know the word "fair" at that time, and the little farts of more than thirty years ago were much dumber than the little farts of today.
How did I deal with "unfairness" at that time? It's just staring at Daddy with two straight eyes. Any of my slightly older friends know what this kind of look will lead to? A violent beating.
Hmmm – is that fair? The same child, the eldest is four or five years older than the second, six or seven years old or even teenagers, you are ten years old, he is three or four years old or you are seventeen or eighteen, he is eight or nine years old. How can you be fair?
What can be done? I have to talk to him about why I said you don't talk about brothers and sisters, eh, yes, if it's a brother and sister, it involves gender equality and gender equity. Why rape can only be done to women, and rape of men is not rape.
The world cannot be perfect, and if you only remember the places that are not beautiful, then the whole world is dark, including the parents who love you the most.
You can only remember the beautiful places, so that you can survive in life and see the value of beauty in the unpleasant.
Gossip is less, the book is back to the truth.
Physiognomy problems in the imperial examination
We are mainly talking about history, and there are more unfair things in history. But so what? History still goes on so unfairly, not based on human emotions as the will. For this question, see the article "Election of Officials and Beauty Pageants" for details.
As a person with children, the most concerned thing is the education of children, and education is examination. Whether you are happy education or quality education or love education, in the final analysis you have to take the test. If you want to select, you need an exam.
When it comes to examinations, we have to talk about the examination system. You said that, for example, we are going to talk about the examination system, is the examination system fair? We can only say that it is relatively fair. The examination selects talents, as long as the learning is good and talented, is it not enough? That's not okay, the ancient imperial examination system then has to look at the appearance, to see if you write well. The closer you get to this kind of looking, the more obvious it is that it is good to write. Especially during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
From the time of Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty to the Chongzhen era, it was not uncommon for people who looked bad to lose their status. For example, in the fourth year of Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongwu (1371), Guo Chong lost his position because he did not look as good as Wu Zongbo.
Please note that like Guo Chong is not good-looking, in fact, it is not a crooked date, at least it will not look like Zhu Yuanzhang, who was teased. According to my research, Guo Chong looks similar to this middle-aged man in front of you.
In the second year of Jianwen, Wang Gong was also changed to a list eye because his appearance was not as good as Hu Guang's. According to my research, Wang Gong also looks similar to this middle-aged man in front of you.
We have to talk about this Wang Gong well. Wang Geng did not envy Emperor Jianwen because he did not become a champion.
Wang Gen and Xie Jin and Hu Guang
Before Nanjing was captured, Xie Jin, Hu Guang, and Wang Geng met at the home of their fellow Wu Pu to discuss where to go. At the meeting, Xie Jinchen said that the monarch was righteous, and Hu Guang was even more passionate, looking like he was dead, and only Wang Geng was silent and shed tears alone. Wu Pu said: "You are the ministers who have received the deepest favor from the emperor, and you really can't be sloppy where you go, I am just a young minister, and I can also wait and see what happens." ”
After the three left, Wu Pu's 14th son Wu Youbi commented on the three, saying that Hu Guangyi and Wang Geng would be traitors, and they did not say a word about this kind of thing. Wu Pu shook his head, Son, you are still young, you don't understand human feelings. In my opinion, of these three, only your Uncle Wang is a great loyal subject!
As soon as the voice dropped, I heard Hu Guang next door shouting, "Now that the market is in chaos, let's go and see if our pigs have run away?" ”
Wu Pu turned back to his son and smiled: "A pig can't put it down, can you still give up your life?" "In the future, there was a man who was more cattle than him, and before committing suicide, he asked if the water was cold.
As soon as the two finished speaking, they heard a loud cry coming from the neighbor Wang Geng's house. Wu Pu's father and son looked over and saw that Wang Geng had committed suicide by taking poison, leaving only his weeping wife and 4-year-old son Wang Lizhang. Wang Geng's old mother, although she did not have a sad voice, did try her best to remain calm. It turned out that After Wang Geng returned home, he told his mother about his decision. After that, he parted ways with his wife and committed suicide by taking poison.
Talent and morality are difficult to have, and the selection of materials is a big problem
Therefore, the ugliness of man does not mean anything. People are ugly given by their parents, and no one can do anything about it. Man's virtue and learning are formed by acquired efforts. What people should pursue is virtue and learning, not appearance. After Xie Jin made a generous statement, he rode off his horse to greet Zhu Di, and later recommended Hu Guang, Li Guan, and others.
Li Guan was later arrested and imprisoned for making a mistake, and before he died, he said that he was ashamed of Wang Geng. What about Xie Jin? Zhu Di secretly instructed Jin Yiwei to command Ji Gang to get drunk, take off his clothes and plant in the snow. In the third year after Xie Jin's death, that is, in the sixteenth year of Yongle (1418), Hu Guang, a 49-year-old scholar of Wenyuange University, died of illness. I don't know if I thought of Wang Geng before I died.
All four were cattle men. Xie Jin ranked third in age, Wu Pu was the oldest born in 1363, Wang Geng was born in 1368, Xie Jin was born in 1369, and Hu Jing, the youngest of Hu Guang, was born in 1370.
However, he was the first to pass the examination, and in 1388, when he was 19 years old, he was successful in the examination, ranking 27th among 95 people, belonging to the top ten of the third class.
In the second year of Jianwen, that is, in 1400, Wu Pu achieved the fourth place in this examination among 110 people (that is, the first place in the second division, that is, "Chuanxu"). In the dispute between Hu Guang and Wang Gengzhuangyuan, the tanhua of that year was Li Guan. Where are all four people in the Yuanpin Eye Tanhua Chuanchuan? Jiangxi people. Moreover, the champions are all from Jishui County, Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province. The top five of this session are all Jiangxi, and one-fifth of the 110 jinshi are Jiangxi. Xie Jin is also from Jiangxi. That's why the four of them will talk about the future together.
Is this fair? Is there someone in the DPRK who is a good official and is helping the jiangxi people? Will someone take care of them? In fact, this way of thinking about the problem is wrong, and the right way is to first look at the exam paper. We can't see their volumes now, and since we can't see them, we can only say one thing: The brothers in Jiangxi are awesome.
It is precisely because of this view that there is an absolute consideration of fairness. Only then did a big thing happen, that is, the "scientific expedition blood case" a year before Zhu Yuanzhang's death, which was related to this kind of thinking, and the more than one hundred jinshi in that scientific expedition were all southerners. The northern scholars were very dissatisfied, coupled with the background of various power struggles, Zhu Yuanzhang once again took up the killing knife.
The formation of the North-South List, although still unfair, tells us that the selection of talents is only one of the reasons, and there are more important issues.
What is a fair horn tip? Guo Chong's title was taken down by Zhu Yuanzhang, and there was no reason (Video 1)
