Chapter 197: Taking History as a Mirror

But according to the law at that time, the crime of deceitful and the unrighteous king were both capital crimes, so these Confucian students were not wronged when they died, after all, the law was like that back then. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The second time happened a few years later, recorded in the "Historical Records: Confucianism Biography of Justice", in which 760 people were killed in a pit this time, and it was a secret pit killing, because after the first pit of Confucianism, the Confucian students in the whole country were instigated again, and they continued to spread bad rumors about Qin Shi Huang among the people for several years, so Qin Shi Huang could only 'handle it according to law' in order to stabilize the country. ’

But why didn't it be made public, because this time it was a nameless teacher, so it was a secret pit killing, which can also be seen that Qin Shi Huang's decisions and trade-offs in the major rights and wrongs.

Therefore, the book-burning and Confucianism incident was because of the demagogic troubles of the two scholars, according to the conspiracy theory, this is regarded as the Taoist murder with a knife, and the two soldiers made Qin Shi Huang and Confucianism bloodlessly separate, which not only made Qin Shi Huang infamous on his back, but also greatly injured the Confucianism that flourished at that time, so that it was deposited in history for many years.

Therefore, the tragedy of burning books and pit Confucianism, Qin Shi Huang is regarded as a backstabber, from the perspective of an emperor, Qin Shi Huang's approach is to abandon the minority for the public, and the king's actions are noncommittal.

And a general book-burning pit Confucianism made Qin Shi Huang bear the label of a tyrant, which really hindered the objectivity of young people when they acquired knowledge, and it was easy to cultivate rigid thinking and limitations.

And the matter of the Great Wall, not to mention the merits, the Great Wall is very great, buried in the world, not only the Chinese, but also the barbarians.

Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall, this story must have a prototype, but it is fictional after all, the greatness of this story lies in the fact that Jiang Nu and Xiliang are two typical characters created by the working people in the infinite labor, focusing on the disaster of millions of lower-class people who were forced to die by labor and their wives were separated.

The touching story of the Great Wall is an indictment of the tyrannical behavior of the feudal ruling class, and it is also a tribute to the unyielding spirit of the enslaved.

This is a matter from two angles, from the perspective of an ancient emperor's encirclement of the territory, Qin Shi Huang will succeed in ten thousand bones, and from the perspective of the common people, it is an accusation and rebellion against the ancient feudal system.

So history is interesting, although it is a little girl who dresses up, but it also has many facets, and it is precisely because of this multifacetedness.

Only now can people take history as a mirror and make continuous progress and improvement.

However, when discussing some historical figures, we must evaluate them from an objective perspective, rather than subjectively staring at labels and stereotypical cognitions with our own selfish thoughts, because this kind of subjective thinking will make people lose the ability to think and explore the truth and essence of things.

History is never a telling story, but a story.

And you will see a lot of truth in this story.

If you look at it as a story, then this history is in vain, and reading books is a process of absorbing knowledge and broadening your mind, not to satisfy temporary pleasure, because this kind of pleasure is not very helpful in life.

But if you understand it, your life is likely to change because of it.

Read the book a hundred times to see its righteousness, see its righteousness, and gain profit.

Reading is a process of repeated reflection and deliberation, in which your personality, IQ and insights are constantly improving, and you will experience a completely different life.

Human life is limited, but in books, life can be extended indefinitely, and if you can leave a story to tell the truth, it is even more of an achievement.

Qin Shi Huang, a historical figure, is revered by Wang Yao in terms of Wen Taowu strategy, but in the choice between the world and the hearts of the people, Wang Yao still needs to be considered, because the Qin Dynasty governed the country according to law, while Wang Yao advocated the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period and ruled the country with etiquette.

But Wang Yao still admires this character very much, because if there is no him, the history of China is likely to be different, and maybe the entire culture of the Central Plains will be tilted from China to the barbarians, not the current one.

Huaxia and barbarians are two brothers, from ancient times, the three emperors and five emperors ruled the two brothers coexisted, and later because of the expansion of territory, the barbarians went out, forming a nomadic civilization of local interest in Asia, but from the root, Huaxia and barbarians, is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural country.

The two civilizations of ritual and nomadism have been fighting for thousands of years, constantly integrating and progressing, and have developed into today's huge Chinese civilization.

And this process is called the historical process.

As a teenager with a complete mind in the new era, in the face of the process of history, he should have his own objective views and understanding, instead of blindly hearing about a certain period of history from textbooks or other people's mouths.

You must verify the information left by history with your own eyes, and figure out and think about that history from the inside, so as to become a more perfect person.

People are also clouds, taken out of context, listening to the wind is the characteristic of rain, which belongs to the incomplete development of the mind.

Moreover, a person with a fully developed mind can be sensible, tolerate some ideas that he cannot understand, and maintain respect, and at the same time adhere to his own ideas for some things derived from the evil of human nature, so that an interesting life is achieved.

If you don't think independently in life, it's really no different from animals.

The Qin Shi Huang shown in this script directed by Zhang Yiyan is a relatively fair setting, with the mind of the Six Kingdoms, the blood type of a big man, the Wen Tao of an emperor, and the fragility and soft-heartedness of a human being.

The other four main characters are the three knights who represent the spirit of martial arts, Nameless, Feixue, Remnant Sword, and Changkong.

Nameless is the first male protagonist in line, it is a needle and thread that connects the plot, his setting is a Zhao Guoren, his parents were killed by the Qin army after he was born, but he was raised by the Qin people, representing a distinct mixed-race integration that accepts the cultural influence of the two countries, and after knowing his life experience as an adult, he decided to assassinate the King of Qin.

This role made Wang Yao immediately think of the Zhao orphan in another famous history "Historical Records: The Zhao Family", Zhao Wu.

Zhao Wu was born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States of Jin, the Zhao family was the largest family in the Jin Kingdom, and later because Zhao Wu's mother plotted against the throne, the Zhao family was destroyed by the Duke of Jin Jing, and the Zhao family was slaughtered.

Zhao Wu grew up in the Jin Kingdom, although the family was destroyed, but still grateful to the Jin Kingdom, and Zhao Wu knew right from wrong, knew the reason for the extermination, gave up revenge, and assisted the two generations of monarchs of the Jin Kingdom when he grew up, creating a huge Jin State of Zhongxing, if Zhao Wu died ten years later, then the Qin State is estimated to be difficult to be strong.

After Zhao Wu's death, the three families were divided, and the Jin Kingdom collapsed, and Zhao Wu, who was righteous all his life, was respected as a model of humanity by many historians.

Between family feud and national hatred, the discussion and study of the real distinction between right and wrong.

In addition, the prototype of the nameless story should be taken from Yu Rang in the "Historical Records: The Biography of the Assassins", Yu Rang was a disciple of Zhiguo during the Spring and Autumn Period, and later Zhiguo was destroyed, and Zhao Xiangzi, the leader of Zhao State, is a descendant of Zhao Wu.

The Zhao family and the Zhi family used to be big families of the Jin Kingdom, and the two clans had the old, coupled with the oppression of the Zhao State by the Zhi State, Zhao Xiangzi was very resentful of the Zhi Bo, the lord of the Zhi State, and after destroying the Zhi Kingdom, Zhao Xiangzi used the skull of the Zhi Bo to make drinking utensils to express the hatred of drinking.

Yu Rang is Zhibo's disciple, after Zhiguo was destroyed, he heard that Zhao Xiangzi humiliated Zhibo's bones, determined to avenge the old master, the first assassination failed, Zhao Xiangzi admired Yu Rang's righteousness and let him go.

The second time he lurked beside Zhao Xiangzi for revenge, Yu Rang filled his body with paint, let his skin rot and disfigure, swallowed coals of fire raw, destroyed his throat, and ambushed Zhao Xiangzi when he traveled again, but failed again.

Yu Rang was arrested again, and Zhao Xiangzi, who was assassinated twice, was very angry and asked Yu Rang, "You were originally a retainer of the Fan family, and later after Zhiguo destroyed the Fan family, Yu Rang served Zhibo, why didn't you assassinate Zhibo for the revenge of the Fan family, but assassinated me for Zhibo?"

Yu Rang said, "I serve the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan, and they all treat me as an ordinary person, so I repay them like an ordinary person." As for Zhibo, he treated me as a national soldier, so I repaid him like a national soldier. ”

Zhao Xiangzi was moved again after hearing this, this kind of spirit of dying for a confidant is really moving, but he was released twice, so that Yu Rang also had a trace of respect for Zhao Xiangzi, and he knew that he was dying, his skin was rotten, and he couldn't avenge Zhibo, Yu Rang made a request after crying, let Zhao Xiangzi take off his robe, pretending to assassinate the robe, pretending to avenge Zhibo, symbolic assassination.

Zhao Xiangzi took off his robe and held it with his own hands, Yu Rang got up several times to fenc, he had the opportunity to really kill Zhao Xiangzi but didn't do it in the end, he may have been moved by Zhao Xiangzi's character, after piercing the robe, Yu Rang looked up to the sky and shouted: "I can report to Zhibo!"

Then he committed suicide with a sword.

The story of Yu Rang spread in Zhao State, and the people of Zhao State were all moved by its righteousness, and they mourned silently, and Zhao Xiangzi also ordered people to set up a biography for Yu Rang, which was later included in the "Historical Records" and passed down for eternity.
