Chapter 10024 Ethos and National Character

When the princess of Shu heard this, she also came out, and saw a strange hissing outside the courtyard wall, and a gray and moving strange meat pillar suddenly appeared next to the flat jar on the wall.

"Ouch!" The princess of Shu was so frightened by this scene that she exclaimed, but Wang Yanbi shouted excitedly and rushed over: "Elephant! Brother Flat Can, I'm going to ride it too! ”

The princess of Shu Kingdom screamed: "Yanbi! Flat cans! Come back—"

But I saw that the figure of the flat jar on the wall disappeared all of a sudden.

The princess of Shu was shocked, Wang Yanbi is her only bone and blood, stay with a creature like an elephant, hang it and rub it casually, can there be any little people left?

Hurriedly went to Sujia Zhuangzi to find Shi Wei for help, Shi Wei didn't know what was going on, only heard the princess of Shu say that she was afraid that the elephant would hurt people, turned around and went into the door to get the magic gun, and went to the elephant field with the princess of Shu.

The elephant field is by a hot spring spring, and when Shi Wei and the princess of Shu came to the woods by the spring together, they heard the laughter and laughter over there.

The moment the mist dissipated, the princess of Shu couldn't help but turn her head with a flushed face when she saw the situation.

Sand grains, flat jars, Wang Yanbi three boys, standing in the hot spring with bare buttocks, Su You is also wearing a calf nose pants, and several people are holding brushes to brush Du Li's body.

Du Li was about to squint, and from time to time he sucked a tube of hot springs, squirting a few people to scream, and then laughed again.

The mist rising from the hot springs echoed in the forest, and the scene of a huge animal getting along with three children and an adult in the forest was not very clear, but the harmony and joy of the atmosphere were real and vivid.

Shi Wei breathed a sigh of relief, put the magic machine back on his back, and was about to step forward.

But she was held by the princess of Shu.

Shi Wei turned her head, and the eyes of the princess of Shu were full of tears, but there was a relieved smile on her face.

Seeing that Shi Wei was a little confused, there was a hint of flattery and begging in the princess's low voice: "I haven't heard Yanbi laugh so happily for a long time, sister, please don't interrupt them......"

Shi Wei was a little speechless: "You just take the child too closely, and now in Zhuangzi, there is Zhang Er and they are watching, who dares to take Yanbi?" ”

After speaking, he hugged the shoulders of the princess of Shu Kingdom: "You, you just think too much for others, live too much for others, and want Yanbi to be like you, it's too hard......"

Brother Xiaoyou said that children are the smartest, and the most important thing for parents is to inspire them, many things, not for them to do and not to do, but to let them know why they want to do it and why they don't do it. The rest is to grow with them. ”

"Brother Xiaoyou said that we adults have some irrationality and a lot of unhappiness. So don't think that children are wrong, and don't bring unhappiness to them. ”

"Their happiness is precious and beautiful, and Brother Xiaoyou said that he himself is often willing to participate in it."

The princess of Shu pulled Shi Wei, and the two secretly walked back, until they came out of the forest, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Shaobao...... It is really admirable that he can still retain his pure heart for so many years. ”

Shi Wei smiled: "Let's go, don't bother to care about them, he said what kind of art is this called, I see, he is more playful than the flat jar." ”

……

Su You, Su Shi, Su Zhe, after Shi Wei came back, he no longer came out of the Wei clan.

During this time, Su You and the two of them polished the top ten suggestions every day, and Su Shi and Su Zhe also had a clear understanding of Su You's political ideas.

It should be said that the success of any of the ten things has a huge impact on the Great Song Dynasty.

And many things are inseparable from Su You's hands-on, whether it is Wang Qi or Cai Qu, if you want to cook properly, it is impossible.

Yu Guo is beneficial and irreplaceable, Su Shi finally understood why Su You's position had not come down, but he didn't seem to be worried at all.

At the level of Su You, it is like when Wang Anshi entered Beijing and served as just a bachelor and attendant of Hanlin.

For them, the position is basically a situation, and it is insignificant at all.

With Su Shi and Su Zhe here, Su You was too lazy to write again, and took out the meaning he wanted to express every day to discuss with Su Shi and Su Zhe, and then asked the two to ghostwrite.

This is the gunman, and the level of these two gunners is so high, throughout the ages, there are only eight in total.

Among them, the two articles of national atmosphere and national character were completely drafted independently by Su Shi after comprehending the meaning of Su You.

This in itself is also Su Shi's strength.

In Su You's view, the national atmosphere of the Chinese nation has actually been condensed and formed after the completion of the development pattern of agricultural civilization.

Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith.

Filial piety, loyalty, honesty, shame and diligence.

Loyalty, courage, respect, forgiveness, and prudence.

Thrift, forbearance, kindness, forgiveness, and harmony.

These are certainly virtues, but benevolence is close to cowardice, kindness is close to hypocrisy, wisdom is close to treachery, and faith is close to deviant.

From the point of view of contradiction, that is, almost every virtue is accompanied by a specious vulgarity, and there is a problem of degree.

Su Shi Hongwen gushed, starting from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, analyzing the major changes that have occurred in the history of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, as well as the key roles that these changes have played in shaping the national atmosphere and national character.

And in today's Great Song Dynasty, before Xining, and after Xining, what major changes have occurred, and what effects have these changes had on the shaping of the atmosphere.

The biggest impact of this is the defeat in several major foreign wars.

In Su Shi's article, he also focused on analyzing the impact of national customs on foreign wars, as well as the reaction of foreign wars on national atmosphere.

Needless to say, neither has done much good.

The two extremes existed simultaneously in the national atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty - arrogance and inferiority, conservatism and retreat, cowardice and blind movement.

And the two extremes are embodied in diplomatic strategy, that is, it is impossible to fight, and peace is not possible; It is embodied in the national policy, even if it is accumulated and improved, it cannot be cured, and conservative cannot be cured.

To correct this state of affairs, it is first necessary to achieve a transformation of the national mind—self-esteem, but not arrogance; Confident, but not vain; Self-improvement comes from pragmatism; Self-reliance stems from self-improvement.

The nation is composed of the people, and the national temperament is the temperament of the people.

To give a simple example, that is, the ancestors' national policy of "using literature to control force" has been completely misread in the defeat of foreign wars again and again.

Correctly understood, this sentence of the ancestors should refer to the country's armament, sergeant training, general training, transfer and promotion, and there should be a set of mature and effective mechanisms to manage and restrain them.

The management mechanism is "culture", and the military force is "military".

Instead of simply defining "Wen" as a civilian official and "Wu" as a military general, artificially creating antagonism within the country.

The reason why the late Tang Dynasty perished was because Li Linfu and Tang Guozhong cut off the way of military generals, so that this mechanism lost its effect, which led to the dominance of the feudal towns and the outbreak of wars.

Cause and effect, effect and cause, cannot be reversed.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the reform of the military system only took the first step, which was to try to incorporate the country's military strength into the normal management system, instead of adopting the simple military general responsibility system during the warlord period.

This was a bold attempt, but it did not have the desired effect, did not play a good role in the country's military strength, on the contrary, brought many problems.

This question is actually related to the atmosphere, so much so that Ming Min, such as Han Zhongxian, once said that "Donghua's men are good men".

This is obviously a misreading of the ancestors' will, and it is also due to the atmosphere.

But nowadays, after a large number of people who have knowledge, literacy, military strategy, and good strategy join the army, looking back at this sentence, it is obviously biased and overkill.

The most important person in the dynasty, the clan, but since the Taizu, the clan was awarded the general at the beginning, and then turned to observation, and the festival was all military positions, until the Xining period, the law of the clan to transfer cultural resources was determined.

Therefore, it is obviously untenable to think that it is the original intention of the ancestors to emphasize civilian officials over military generals.
