Read the "Left Biography": The Thirteenth Year of the Eleventh Year of Lu Yingong

How did Confucius believe in the Mandate of Heaven?

"Spring and Autumn" contains: Three years of spring, Wang February, himself, the eclipse of the sun. March Gengshu, Heavenly King Collapse.

According to the principle of "Spring and Autumn", the eclipse is not a major event, so why is Confucius recorded? Is it because "March Gengshu, Heavenly King Collapse"? Did Confucius believe that the eclipse was a sign of the death of the Son of Heaven? Why did Zuo Qiu Mingshe go to the record of the eclipse, and he did not believe that there was an inevitable connection between celestial phenomena and human affairs?

How late is the obituary of the Son of Heaven?

The Spring and Autumn Chronicle says that King Gengshu of Zhou Ping died in March, and zuo zhuan explains that Gengshu Day was the day when Lu Yingong received the obituary of the Son of Heaven, but in fact, King Zhou Ping died on the day of King February, forty days apart. Confucius used the obituary as the standard, how did Zuo Shi know the exact date of tianzi's death? Could it be that the Zuo clan lived in Kyoto's Roe-eup and consulted the royal family's archives? Does the Zuo family have deep historical roots?

What kind of character is Zuo Shi?

A search on the Internet, Zuo Qiuming's personal information is widely viewed, which is enviable all day long. Zuo, born in -556 and died in 451, was an extremely rare old man at that time. He came from a family of historians, the eldest Confucius was five years old, served as a historian of the Lu State, and felt sorry for Confucius. Confucius called him a gentleman, and he called Confucius a saint. In his later years, Confucius and Zuo Qiuming traveled to Kyoto, entered the Royal Library, and after some food, returned to the country of Lu and digested and absorbed. Confucius, feeling that the historical materials were mixed, began to write the Spring and Autumn Period, and soon stopped writing, and then died; Zuo Qiuming, feeling sorry for the great righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, regretted that the Spring and Autumn Period was too simple, so he annotated the Spring and Autumn Period in the ancient rare years; after the Later Ming, he wrote the "Chinese". For more than thirty years, Wu Wu wrote two huge works that supported him to live to become a centenarian and achieved the lofty status of his ancestors.

How low-key is Cain Gong?

Spring and Autumn: April 2010, Mr. Tao, Graduated from Mr. Kim.

"Junshi" was the concubine son of Duke Hui of Lu and the mother of Duke Yin of Lu. The reason why the Spring and Autumn Chronicle records the mother's funeral of a monarch is so simple is that Lu Yingong buried his birth mother in a very low profile - did not issue obituaries to the princes, did not go to the ancestral temple to cry, did not place tablets in the ancestral temple, did not call the wife, did not record the burial situation, and even did not record a name, only because she was the mother of the Duke of Yin, there was a "Junshi" in the historical data. Such a simple historical material, recorded by Confucius, not only expressed the affirmation of the historian, but also expressed the praise of the hidden public self-denial.

How has the royal family declined?

"Spring and Autumn" contains: Autumn, Wu Shizi came to ask for bribes.

赙, read fu, go to the sound, do funeral possessions. Wu Zi ,Zheng Zhuanggong ,Zheng Zhuanggong,' son of Duke Wu of Zheng. Why was Confucius so unimpressed with Zheng Zhuanggong? The last time he "demoted" his title, this time he simply stripped him of his title, as if calling the common people. The "Zuo Biography" explains that Zheng Zhuanggong assisted King Ping of Zhou in moving the capital, made great contributions, and was also a prince with the surname of Ji, so he became the secretary of the Tianzi and presided over the administrative affairs of Eastern Zhou. In order to prevent Zheng Zhuang's influence from becoming too large, King Ping of Zhou entrusted some of his administrative affairs to Duke Yu for disposal. This was originally the authority and sovereignty of the Son of Heaven, and the princes had no right to ask questions, but Zheng Zhuang actually questioned him with a straight face, and Zhou Tianzi actually denied it with no heart, and even swore an oath, and even exchanged hostages with Zheng Zhuang to "pawn" the prince. Before King Zhou Ping was buried after his death, Zheng Guo sent an army to rob Gyeonggi of wheat. I think that when Confucius wrote this, he must have shed blood for the eastern Zhou royal family and was angry at zheng zhuanggong's deception.

Why didn't Mu Gong get praise?

"Spring and Autumn" in: August Gengchen, Song Gong and Pawn. Winter has February... Yan Wei, buried Song Mugong.

"Zuo Chuan" notes, Song Mu Gongminghe, son of Song Wugong, brother of Song Xuangong. Before the death of Song Xuangong, in accordance with the tradition of Yin Shang's brother and brother, he passed the throne to his younger brother and repeatedly pushed and shoved, and finally had to obey his brother's orders. On his deathbed, He insisted on passing on the son of Xuangong Youyi, and sent his son Gongzi Feng to Zheng Guo for foster care.

It is said that the virtues of brotherhood and honesty and honesty of the Song Dynasty are in line with Confucius's taste, but why did they not get Confucius's praise? The answer may be that "Spring and Autumn" is a simple drawing, praising and deprecating the song, not in a special word. For example, the death of the Song Gong "August Gengchen" and the burial of the "Winter Ten with February" and the moratorium of the moratorium for four months and three days did not conform to the etiquette of the princes' moratorium in May, and the account itself implied a pejorative connotation; when the Song Gong died, he was called "He" and his nickname was called "Mu" when he was buried, indicating that the Song State complied with the system of posthumous posthumous posthumously, which implied praise.

How not to record a beautiful word?

There is a passage in the "Zuo Biography" that Shi Wei said to Wei Zhuang, which is very aphoristic, but it is not recorded in the Spring and Autumn.

Gongzi Zhou was the son of Wei Zhuanggong's favored concubine, and liked to dance with knives and guns, but Wei Zhuanggong did not stop it, and the chancellor Shi Ping advised Wei Zhuanggong, roughly speaking, that parents and sons should take the righteous side, and when they were arrogant, extravagant, obscene, and yi, to prevent the four evils of arrogance, luxury, obscenity, and escape, to prevent untouchables, shaoling chiefs, distant relatives, new and old, small and large, and the six rebellions of adultery and righteousness, and to lead to the six rebellions of junyi, subjects, fathers, sons, filial piety, brothers and brothers, and pay attention to preventing micro-aggressions.

"Spring and Autumn" is concise and cannot be written, I am afraid that it is related to Confucius's old age and self-knowledge that he could not complete the voluminous historical project; Zuo Shi was able to make detailed notes and supplements for "Spring and Autumn", in addition to enjoying the years for a long time, it is also related to his strong literary and historical skills and the same knowledge as the saints. I always feel that Confucius and Zuo Shi have a tacit understanding of cooperation: Confucius outlined "Spring and Autumn", and Zuo Shi wrote "Spring and Autumn".
