Chapter 1373 Whispers and Righteousness

"Yin Gong is in charge of national affairs and wants to be friendly with the State of Di, so he held an alliance meeting in Contempt."

"In April of this summer, there was also a major event in the country of Lu, that is, Faber led the army to build a city in Langdi."

"The reason why "Spring and Autumn" does not record this incident is because Faber was not ordered by Duke Yin."

"The master is a native of Lu and a historian, can he not know the major events that happened in Lu country? Of course not. But why deliberately cut it? This is called 'small words'. ”

"Also, why is the country so valued by the Duke of Yin? We must read all the books, and when we encounter such problems, we cannot easily let them go. ”

"It turns out that Lu Zhong, the great-grandson of Emperor Zhen, the fifth son Yan, was given the surname Cao, and when King Wu of Zhou, his descendants were coerced as vassals and lived in Yi."

"Lu Zhong married a ghost girl, gave birth to six sons, and gave birth to many surnames, each of which is a country."

"Lu Zhong's fifth son, Yan, that is, the ancestor of the surname Cao, is the ancestor of the State of Yi."

"These are physical evidence, Zou County, Shandong, the hometown of the State of Yi, only unearthed bronzes, with an inscription - 'Lu Zhongzhi's grandson Gong Gong Gong Bell'. This is one of the great achievements of the imperial court to test the three generations of civilization this year. ”

"The word Di is obviously 'Zhu' and 'Yi' to become the name of the place, "Shuowen Jie Zi" said: Zhu, red heart wood. In fact, the oracle bone inscription of 'Zhu' is made as 'the trunk of the tree', so the historians used to believe that the word Di was named after a kind of 'red heart wood' that was abundant in Zou County, Shandong at that time. ”

"Red heart wood is a general name, it is not red, it should be vermilion, like rosewood, rosewood is relatively close to this color, and it is still a precious wood."

"But because of the discovery of this bronze last year, the historiography has a new point of view, because in the bronze inscriptions, the characters are mostly written in the shape of spiders."

"So the country of Yi, in fact, it may be that the descendants of Lu Zhong used spiders as totems and developed from the Dongyi tribe to Yi."

"During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the territory of the State of Yi was relatively strong among the Eastern Yi Kingdoms. Because it is Dongyi, it is often despised by the Lu country next to it. ”

"The State of Yi existed before the first Zhou, probably after the Eastern Expedition of the Duke of Zhou, and returned to the Zhou Dynasty, but for some reason, the Zhou family never gave the State of Yi a title."

"Although he has no name, he also keeps to himself, and throughout the Western Zhou Dynasty, the State of Yi was obedient and obedient as a vassal of the State of Lu. gradually integrated with Chinese civilization, which is why "Spring and Autumn" called Hou Ke the father of the ceremony. ”

"After integrating into China, the State of Lu and the State of Lu began a generational marriage, and the "Legend of the Ram: Thirty-one Years of Zhao Gong" recorded: "When the Lou Yan is beautiful, the Lou Lady has a person who is the wife of Lu."

"Therefore, Lou Yan is also known as Yi Father Yan by the Lu people, and he is the seventh generation of monarchs since the establishment of the country."

"Yi's father Yan Ben did some things, but because he participated in the 'Boyu Rebellion' of Lu State, he was killed by King Xuan of Zhou."

"The reason for this, according to the record of "The Legend of the Ram", is that 'the Lou girl is Mrs. Lu', and gave birth to the eldest son, but King Zhou Xuan likes the second son's play, and the play is Prince Lu."

"Kuo's son Boyu conspired to seize the throne, and Yi's father Yan, as a relative, stood on the side of his grandson."

"After this turmoil, the national strength of the State of Yi was greatly damaged, and in the year of the Western Weekend, it was divided into two sub-kingdoms, the State of Xun and the State of Abuse, and the land area became smaller."

"How small? It is so small that it has become an idiom, and later generations use the term 'country of Juju' to describe small places. ”

"For example, Yang Zhizhi of the Northern Wei Dynasty wrote in "Luoyang Jialanji Zhengjue Temple": "The sheep is the most land product, and the fish is the chief of the water tribe." The likes are different, and each is precious. In terms of taste, it is very good and bad: the sheep is bigger than the Qilu state, and the fish is smaller than the small country'. ”

"According to the record of "Zuo Biography", it was not until the reign of Duke Qi Huan that Duke Qi Huan was hegemonic, because the monarch of the State of Qi strongly supported Duke Qi Huan at that time, and Duke Qi Huan asked King Xi of Zhou to ask for it, and finally received the title of viscount."

"After entering the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty gradually weakened, and the Lu State gradually became stronger.

"Although it is a small country of the viscount, it can almost compete with the marquis's Lu country. Throughout the Spring and Autumn Period, the wars between Lu and Lu were repeated. ”

"The war began in the twenty-first year of the reign of Duke Xu, and in that year, the state of Yi destroyed the country of Suju, and the monarch of the country of Suju fled to the state of Lu."

"Because Lu Xigong's mother Chengfeng is a Suju person. So in the second year, 'the public fell, took the beard sentence, and reversed its monarchy'. ”

"The people of Lu were unwilling, and sent troops to counterattack the Lu State, and the Duke of Lu despised the State of Lu, and even 'did not equip it', and as a result, he was hit hard in Shengcheng, and when the Duke of Lu fled in panic, he even lost his hat, and became the trophy of the State of Lu and hung it at the head of the city to show the public."

"The Thirty-third Year of the Duke of Zuo" recorded: "The public felled the Emperor and took Lou to repay the battle of the Emperor." The people are not equipped. In autumn, Xiangzhong regained the felling'. ”

"In order to avenge the ascension of the Emperor, Lu Xugong sent troops to invade the State of Lu again two years later, and captured the capital of the State of Lu."

"The arrogant army will be defeated, but this time it is 'the people are not equipped', they were raided and invaded by the Lu State, the country was occupied, and the political center was lost."

"However, at that time, the monarch of the State of Yi was Duke Wen, and in the face of the national disaster, he did not flinch, and took the people to leave his hometown where he had lived for more than 400 years and moved the capital to 'Yi'."

"According to the record of the thirteenth year of the Duke of Wen in Zuo Chuan, in order to move the capital, Duke Wen asked the historian for divination, and the historian came to the conclusion after divination: 'It is good for the people and not good for the king.'" ”

"Gong Wen said: 'It is the interest of the king to benefit the people, and there is nothing more auspicious than benefiting the people.' Then he insisted on moving the capital despite the opposition of his ministers. ”

"Duke Wen died a year after moving the capital, and the people praised him as a generation of virtuous monarchs."

"After that, the monarch of the State of Yi was bad, one generation was not as good as the next, the politics were becoming more and more corrupt, and the national strength of the State of Yi was gradually weakening."

"In the period of the Duke of Mourning, a large number of subjects in the country were lost, and many doctors of the State of Yi also defected to other countries with their fiefdoms, which caused a great blow to the Duke of Mourning, which shows how selfish the Duke of Mourning is a monarch."

"In the later Dynasty, the Duke of Yi Zhuang was even more absurd, and he actually resumed martyrdom after his death, which greatly deviated from the 'people-oriented thought' that the ancestor Gong Wen had in mind. The country began to be hollowed out by its own ** from the inside. ”

"But in the year when the master's "Spring and Autumn" began, the State of Yi was still very respected by the State of Lu, so it was called the 'Alliance of Contempt'."

"In today's class, we only talked about the first sentence of Spring and Autumn, seventeen words. But from these seventeen words, one can already read a lot of the Master's thoughts. ”

"Respect the king, seek kindness, observe etiquette, and defend Xia with civilization. For the Dongyi Liuguo who admired the Chinese civilization, it was given the same historiographical status as the Donglu. ”

These things, in seventeen words, are vividly expressed. And his thoughts are also of great significance to today's Sanlu and to the party and ethnic groups of the original Xia Kingdom. ”

"I am talking so much today, not to ask you to memorize its content by rote, but to grasp the subtle meaning of the Master's words and master the method of reading "Spring and Autumn"."

"Regardless of Han Fan, they can become the inheritors and disseminators of Chinese civilization."

"People love themselves and their families. The great thing about the Master is that he said that when you are able, you should also love others, and love those with whom you are not so close. ”

"That's what 'benevolence' means."

"Liang Yibury is also a person who loves himself and his family. It can even be said that his love for his family is greater than that of many of us. ”

"If it weren't for this, the children of the Liang family would not be all over the Xia Kingdom and control the Xia Kingdom's government."

"But his love is only for himself and his family, but he ignores the interests of the country and the people."

"For the sake of such love, he did not hesitate to imprison the king, launched an unrighteous war, dragged the family into the abyss, dragged the country into the abyss, and dragged the people into the abyss."

"The greatness of the Master is that he has pointed out the direction for us, how can we love ourselves and our family, and become the same path as loving the people, the country, and the king."

"Let us know what's the best way to deal with it."

"Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is not only a human favor, but also a heavenly principle. ”

"Serve the greatest number of people, take the interests of the greatest number of people for your own benefit, always stand with the greatest number of people, and seek happiness for the greatest number of people. This is the position that scholars are born with, and it is also the responsibility that they should bear. ”

"There are also such people in the Liang family, and there are also opponents of Liang Yiburi, so we must treat them sensibly and differently."

"Don't define people by blood, surname, ancestry, or ethnicity."

"It's about what he does."
