Chapter 108: The Ancestral Dragon's Karma
And the story isn't over yet.
Jin Riyan's descendants were victimized in the late Western Han Dynasty when Wang Mang was acting on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and some of them fled to Congjia Yan in Wendeng, Shandong, and changed the surname Jin to Cong, which is one of the origins of the surname Cong.
The eldest son was Gongge, a boy for people to play with, and was later killed by Jin Riyan himself.
The two sons, Jin Xian and Jin Jian, were both servants of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, who were about the same age as Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, and slept and got up together with Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. Later, Jin was rewarded as the captain of Fengche, and Jin Jian was the captain of the horse.
After Jin Reward succeeded Jin Riyan as Marquis and wore two ribbons, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty said to Huo Guang: "Can't the two brothers of the Jin family let them both have two ribbons?" Huo Guang replied: "Jin Reward was originally inherited from his father's title as a marquis." Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty smiled and said, "Isn't it the Hou and you and me?" Huo Guang said: "The first emperor's rule is that only meritorious service can be crowned the marquis." At that time, the Jin brothers and Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty were both eight or nine years old. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, and Jin Reward served as a servant. Jin Xian's wife is the daughter of Huo Guang, the Huo family rebelled, and Jin Xian wrote to divorce his wife, so he was able to be preserved, and he was not implicated.
Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty served as Guanglu Xun, but after his death, he had no son, and the feudal country was removed. In order to continue the family of Juelu in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, Jin Jian's grandson Jin Dang was the marquis of Qin, and he worshipped his ancestors as the heir of Jin Riyan.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wuling Taishou Jin Xuan, Jingzhao Yin Jin Yi is also rumored to be the descendants of Jin Riyan......
And these characters, without exception, are not loyal ministers, and have a very strong sense of belonging and identity to the Han Dynasty.
"Later, the seven generations of Jin Riyan's family were all Han Zhongliang, which is the greatest benefit of using my Chinese culture to edify his people. Ling Hao said.
"In that case, does my husband think that no one in my Chinese land has been a hero since the Great Zhou lost power, the countries have been strife, and the wars have been endless for more than 800 years?" Wang Xuanqing didn't seem to agree with this.
She read a lot of ancient books in Lingfu, and the deeds of King Wen of Zhou, Duke Huan of Qi, and Duke Wen of Jin all made her very interested, and she felt that if she could achieve such a king as a daughter in the future, it would be in vain.
"If you want to talk about heroes, I naturally have no shortage in China, if you want to talk about heroes, there is only one ear. โ
"Who?"
"This person is the King of Qin, Yingzheng, who almost swallowed the world five hundred years ago, but died under the assassination of Jing Ke, the great master of the Mo family. Ling Hao cleaned up Wang Xuan's somewhat disheveled sideburns, and his tone was very solemn.
Yingzheng, later generations called it the ancestral dragon. Son of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang and Zhao Ji.
He was an ancient statesman, strategist, and reformer in China, a political figure who completed the unification of China for the first time, and the first monarch in China to be called an emperor.
After unifying the world, Qin Shi Huang thought that he had made meritorious contributions to the three emperors and five emperors, and used the "emperor" of the three emperors and the "emperor" of the five emperors to form the title of "emperor", and he was also the first monarch in Chinese history to use the title of "emperor", so he called himself "the first emperor......
At the same time, the central government implemented the three public and nine secretaries to manage major state affairs; the local government abolished the system of sub-feudal divisions and replaced it with the county and county system; at the same time, the same documents were written, the cars were on the same track, and weights and measures were unified.
Attacking the Xiongnu in the north, conquering Baiyue in the south, building the Great Wall, and building the Ling Canal to connect the Yangtze River and the Pearl River.
But in his later years, Qin Shi Huang sought immortality and dreamed of immortality, harshly abused the people, stifled the wisdom of the people, and shook the foundation of the Qin Dynasty's rule......
But this ancestral dragon also laid the basic pattern of the political system of the land of China for more than 2,000 years, and was praised as "the first emperor of the ages" by the Ming Dynasty thinker Li Zhen......
The above deeds are easy to say, but difficult to do.
Before Qin Shi Huang unified the Central Plains, the scripts of the countries were inconsistent.
It's the same form of writing, and there are several different ways to write it.
After the Yin Shang Dynasty, writing gradually became popular.
As the official script, the Jin script is relatively consistent in form.
However, there are regional differences in the folk characters such as weapons, pottery scripts, silk scripts, and simple scripts in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. This situation has hindered economic and cultural exchanges between various localities, and has also affected the effective implementation of the policies and decrees of the central government. Therefore, after the Great Qin unified the Central Plains, Qin Shi Huang ordered Li Si and others to sort out and unify the text. From that time on, a more convenient form of calligraphy was adopted, and a uniform script was prescribed.
In this way, cultural exchanges between different places are also much more convenient. This is called "book with text". The "one" and "same" here are synonymous, that is, "unity".
The earliest source of this saying is the twenty-eighth chapter of the Book of Rites and the Mean in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty: "Today, the car is on the same track, the book is the same, and the line is the same." โ
Before Qin Shi Huang unified the Central Plains, there was no unified system among the nations, and the size of the carriages was different in various places, so the lanes were also wide and narrow. The country is unified, and vehicles have to walk on different lanes, which is inconvenient. Worry-free Chinese network
From that time on, the distance between the two wheels on the vehicle was changed to six feet, so that the distance between the wheels was the same. In this way, it will be convenient for vehicles to travel from all over the country. This is called "car on the same track".
Weights and measures, on the other hand, actually refer to three different units of calculation.
The instrument used to measure the length is called a degree.
The vessel that is used to determine the calculated volume is called the volume.
A tool for measuring the weight of an object is called a scale.
Degree is the name of the ancient unit of length, produced very early, in ancient times were named after a certain part of the human body or a certain action, such as inch, ๅซ, ruler, zhang, xun, chang, ไป and so on. In these names, the ruler is the basic unit of length. The length of one foot is similar to the length of one hand, and it is easy to identify, so in ancient times, there were sayings such as "cloth hands know the ruler" and "rulers know also". In addition, it is a practical unit of measurement depth and constitutes a system in its own right.
There has always been no clear definite number in the relationship between the proportion of the square and the ruler, and it is generally believed that one is four feet, five feet six inches, seven feet, and eight feet, and it is generally considered to be eight feet. The name of the length unit before the Zhou Dynasty, after the arrangement of the "Hanshu Law Calendar", retained the inch, ruler, zhang three, and added a "minute" below the inch, and a "lead" above the zhang, all of which are decimal, which is the so-called five degrees. The small unit of length is generally used by mathematicians. The so-called "the length of the degree, without losing the slightest centimeter" only means that the measurement should have the accuracy of a small number.
There is a saying in the volume of "Sun Tzu's Sutra" that "the silkworm spun silk is sudden, ten flickers are one second, ten seconds are one millimeter, ten millimeters are one centimeter, and ten centimeters are one minute". These ten abdicated minutes, centimeters, millimeters, and seconds suddenly became arithmetic decimal names and length unit names. In the Song Dynasty, the second was changed to silk. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the length of the small unit was set to the millimeter.
Speaking of quantity, the measuring instrument is the main instrument for measuring the amount of agricultural products in feudal society, so the measurement of capacity is the earliest, and its unit name is also the most complex.
In the classic works such as "Zuo Chuan", "Zhou Li", "Rites", "Erya", etc., there are records about the capacity unit, and its special names include liter, bucket, hu, bean, district, kettle, bell, overflow, and so on.
Like length, the unit of capacity before the Zhou Dynasty was also measured by the human body, and the one that could be held with one hand was called overflow, and the one with two hands together was called ๆฌ, which was the original basic unit of capacity. "Xiao Erya Guangliang" said "four beans", and "Zuo Chuan: Zhao Gong three years" said "four liters for beans", these two sayings are the same, that is, it is to say. The original meaning of the liter is "ascending", "entering" the meaning, the two hands are the basic capacity number, and then from this number to ascend, according to the four into the bean, the district, the kettle, according to the ten into the bucket, Hu.
Therefore, the liter (i.e. ๆฌ) is the basic unit of capacity. Later, the "Hanshu Law Chronicles" systematically sorted out the capacity units, named Gong , He, Sheng, Dou, Hu five quantities, one is equal to two Gong, and the following are ten (after the Song Dynasty, one Hu is five buckets). The liter is the basic unit of capacity, and the bucket and the hub are the practical units.
As for the cloud "Ten Gong is one" in "Saying the Garden, Distinguishing Things", the statement is different and can be used for reference. Incidentally, the stone was originally a unit of weight, one hundred and twenty catties, but since the Qin and Han dynasties, the stone has also been used as a unit of capacity, which is equal to Hu. Regarding the small unit of capacity, the volume of "Sun Tzu's Sutra" says: "Six millet is one gui, ten gui is copying, ten copying is pinch, ten pinch is spoon, and ten spoons are combined." In this way, six millets are one gui (one said, ten millets are one gui), and the rest of the gui, copying, pinching, spooning, and the eight units of he, sheng, dou, and hu are all ten. This method of calculation has been used since the Han Dynasty......
Balance is even more important, it is the unit that constancizes the development of the entire economy.
For a long time, the five of baht, tael, jin, jun, and stone were all used as units of weight. But in ancient times, the term "unit of weight" was mixed.
For example, in the volume of "Sun Tzu's Sutra of Calculations": "The origin of the name is from the millet, and the ten millet is a line (the ancient word for "tired"), the ten threads are one baht, and the twenty-four baht is one tael." "Saying Yuan? Distinguishing Things": "Ten millet weighs one gui, and ten gui weighs one baht." "Shuo Wen Jinbu": "Baht, six baht." "Huainanzi Quanyan" high temptation note: "Six taels are called squirting." "Jade Chapter: The Golden Ministry;" Eridium, twenty taels. "Collection Rhyme, Quality Rhyme": "Twenty-four taels are eridium." "Wait. "Millet", "Millet", "Silk", "Gui", etc., are all borrowed from the names of millet and Guibi, but in fact they have long been used.
"้ฑ", "eridium" and "้พ", "้ฟ" and so on are all borrowed coins, and they have long been used. Therefore, there are various differences in the opinions of each family. Since the "Hanshu Legal Calendar" named the five units of baht, liang, jin, jun and stone as the five powers, the names have been relatively consistent and have not changed until the Tang Dynasty. Its carrying method is worth mentioning: 24 baht for 2, 16 taels for catties, 30 catties for jun, and 4 jun for stones.
Regarding the use of small units such as money, cents, centi, milli, silk, and sudden, Liang Tao Hongjing of the Southern Dynasty once said: "The name of the dispensing is different from the present in ancient times, and the name of the ancient is not divided, and now it is divided into ten baht, six baht as one cent, and four into one tael." Tang Su Jing Zhuyun: "Six baht is one cent, that is, two and a half coins." It can be seen that since the Tang Dynasty, the "money" as a currency has been regarded as a unit of weight, and "ten coins are one tael", but at that time, the carrying of cents has not been determined to be one-tenth of the money.
In addition, centi, milli, silk, and sudden, etc., were originally decimal names, and later borrowed from the length as the name of the weight unit, and since the Song Dynasty, it has been set as a small unit of ten retreats of money. The restructuring of the Song Dynasty weighed and abolished the names of baht, silk and millet, and the names of its weight units were stone, jun, jin, liang, money, centi, milli, silk, and hu in order from large to small, and its carry method has been as mentioned above. The Song system was used until the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and was rarely changed. However, one thing must be pointed out that in the medical prescriptions of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, those who say "points" are the "points" of cents, while in the Jin and Tang dynasties, one cent was two and a half dollars, and the two are different......
The Qin Shi Huang in history did all of this, and almost all the dynasties after Qin followed this system, and the ancestral dragon's industry is really unparalleled!
"But Ying Zheng has been dead for five hundred years, how much influence can he have?" Wang Xuanqing frowned.
It is true that even if Ling Hao said it wildly, Ying Zheng in this world has already become a legendary figure five hundred years ago...... A dead man, can he do this?
"I asked the Shang government to retrieve some files about the five hundred years ago of King Yingzheng of Qin, and found that these Yingzheng had already had the same plan as us, and they would only be implemented after the unification of the world, but unfortunately...... He didn't wait until then. Ling Hao felt that this was like an epic copy that had already been completed for most of the time, but the captain was suddenly banned, and he was so uncomfortable that he was more uncomfortable......
"What does the husband mean?" Wang Xuanqing seemed to think of something.
"King Qin's unfinished business, let me wait to complete it. Ling Hao said righteously.
"Okay, since you want to pursue the cause of King Qin, let's give birth to dozens of heirs first......" Wang Xuanqing looked at Ling Hao with a smile.
"It's not good, I've been here twice just now......"
"Since you want to inherit the business of King Qin, you naturally have to carry it out to the end, didn't the husband say before, did King Qin have dozens of children in ten years of his reign?"
Well, that's the point.
