Chapter 219: Kong Meng
The next one is an unexpected and logical resurrection. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Confucian boss resurrected their family's hardcore successor, the second Confucian saint Mengke.
Mencius Mingke, or Ziyu, was a disciple of Confucius's grandson, Kong Ling. According to legend, he is a descendant of the noble son Qing's father surnamed Lu Guoji, whose father's name is Ji and his mother's family.
Mencius was a great thinker, educator, and representative of Confucianism during the Warring States period. Together with Confucius, it is called "Confucius and Mencius". His representative works include "Fish I Want", "Righteous and Helpful, Unrighteous and Helpless", "Born in Sorrow, Die in Peace", "Wang Gu Left and Right to Talk About Him" has been compiled into junior high school Chinese textbooks, and "Widows to the Country" has been compiled into high school Chinese textbooks.
Politically, Mencius advocated the rule of law and benevolence; In terms of doctrine, he admired Confucius and opposed Yang Zhu and Mo Zhai. He advocated benevolent government, put forward the people-oriented idea of "the people are noble and the monarch is light", and traveled to Qi, Song, Teng, Wei, Lu and other countries, imitating Confucius to implement his own political ideas, which lasted for more than 20 years. However, Mencius's doctrine of benevolence was considered "far-reaching and broader-than-the-matter" and was not implemented. Eventually, he retired to lecturing and, together with his students, "prefaced the poems and the book, expounding the meaning of Zhongni (i.e., Confucius), and composing the seven chapters of Mencius."
Mencius "is good at nurturing my heroic spirit". Those who are righteous are also called gentlemen. In this life, it may be called qigong, and it is wrong. Those who are upright are enriched with virtue, and those who are not virtuous are empty. In ancient times, the formless was the gas, so it was called the gas.
Following the example of Confucius, Mencius led his disciples to travel around the world, but was not accepted by the countries of the time, and then retired to write books with his disciples. The sayings of Mencius and his disciples are compiled in the book Mencius, one of the classic works of Confucianism.
Mencius's essays are eloquent, vigorous, argumentative, logical, sharp and witty, and represent the highest peak of traditional prose writing. Mencius put forward the theory of sexual goodness on the issue of human nature, that is, human nature is good. However, Mencius only said that sex is good, and Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty added that "at the beginning of man, sex is good", and some scholars in later generations proposed "sex is good".
Later generations posthumously named Mencius as "Ya Shenggong", honored as "Ya Sheng", and his disciples and followers recorded Mencius's words and deeds into the book "Mencius", which is a collection of quotations and essays, which is a compilation of Mencius's remarks, and was jointly compiled by Mencius and his disciple Wan Zhang.
When talking about Confucianism, we must talk about "Confucius and Mencius". Confucius in "the middle and late Warring States period Confucius's status as a 'sage' has been established". After the death of Confucius, "Confucianism was divided into eight schools", and if Confucius was regarded as the first generation of Confucianism, then "Mencius was in the fifth generation." ”
Mencius inherited and developed Confucius's idea of rule by virtue, which developed into the doctrine of benevolent government, which became the core of his political thought
Bust of Mencius. Mencius's political theory is a royal road with benevolent government as its content, and its essence is to serve the feudal ruling class. He applied the principles of "kissing" and "growing up" to politics in order to ease class contradictions and safeguard the long-term interests of the feudal ruling class.
On the one hand, Mencius strictly distinguished the class status of the ruler and the ruled, believing that "those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people", and imitated the Zhou system to draw up a set of hierarchies from the Son of Heaven to the Shuren; On the other hand, he likened the relationship between the ruler and the ruled to the relationship between parents and children, and advocated that the ruler should care about the people's weal and woe like his parents, and the people should be close to and serve the ruler as they did with their parents.
According to Mencius, this is the most ideal kind of politics, and if the ruler practices benevolent government, he can win the heartfelt support of the people; On the contrary, if we ignore the lives of the people and carry out abusive government, we will lose the support of the people and become a lone man and a thief, and will be overthrown by the people. The specific content of benevolent government is very extensive, including economics, politics, education, and ways to unify the world, etc., and there is a thread of people-oriented thinking running through it. This kind of thinking developed from the idea of valuing the people over the gods in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Mencius is one of the most important representatives of Confucianism and is known as the "sub-sage" by later generations. But Mencius's status was not very high before the Song Dynasty. There is a limerick poem satirizing Mencius: "How can a beggar ever have a second wife? Have a lot of chickens next door? At that time, there was Zhou Tianzi, what did they say about Wei Qi? Since Han Yu of the Middle and Tang Dynasty wrote "The Original Dao", listing Mencius as the only person in the pre-Qin Confucianism to inherit Confucius's "Taoism", there was a "promotion movement" of Mencius, and the status of Mencius and his books gradually rose. In the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, the book "Mencius" was included in the subjects of the imperial examination for the first time. In the sixth year of Yuanfeng, Mencius was posthumously awarded the title of "Duke of Zou Guo" for the first time, and was approved to enjoy the Confucian Temple the following year. Later, the book "Mencius" was upgraded to a Confucian classic, and Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty combined "Mencius" with "Analects", "University" and "Zhongyong" into the "Four Books", and its actual status was even higher than the "Five Classics".
The book "Mencius" was considered to be the "biography" of the auxiliary wing "scriptures" in the Han Dynasty, and was placed alongside Confucius's "Analects". To the fifth dynasty, the Later Shu lord Meng Chang ordered the "Yi", "Shu", "Poem", "Li", "Zhou Li", "Yiji", "Ram Biography", "Gu Liang Biography", "Zuo Biography", "Analects" and "Mencius" Eleven Classics to write and engrave stones. The University and The Mean are considered to be the works of Confucius's disciple Zeng Shen and Confucius's grandson Si, so that Mencius is on an equal footing with the writings of Confucius and his descendants, and its actual status is higher than that of the Five Classics.
In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty to Shun, Mencius was crowned as "Ya Shenggong", and later called "Ya Sheng", second only to Confucius.
Of course, status fame is status, and ability as is another.
Mencius visited the kingdom of Qi around the time of King Qi Wei. It seems that he has been to Wei at the same time, and has met King Wei Hui and King Wei Xiang successively. When the king of Qi Xuan arrived, he came to Qi again. He also went to Teng, Xue, Song, Zou, Liang and other countries. The "Historical Records" said that during the time of Mencius, the Qin and Qi kingdoms used Shang Ying, Tian Ji and others to enrich the country and strengthen the army and attack the army, and Mencius described it as "the virtue of the three generations of Tang Yu", which was considered to be "far away and broader than things" and was not reused, so Mencius and his disciple Wan Zhang and others wrote books and said. However, according to the "Mencius", Mencius went to Wei, was courteous to King Hui of Wei, and asked Mencius for advice on how to govern the country. Mencius was in Qi, and King Xuan appointed him as the secretary, "dozens of cars and hundreds of servants, in order to pass on food to the princes." Qi will be able to adopt some of its doctrines and propositions.
Then he squatted under Jixia Xuegong and Xunzi to tear all kinds of things. According to the rules of the Jixia School Palace, after tearing and killing, go out to practice, the mouth cannon does not count, and the results are slapped in the face.
So in any case, the status may not have reached the so-called Yasheng during the Three Kingdoms period, but the combat effectiveness and the like are also very powerful, and it is not unreasonable for Confucius to find him.
However, although these people are all kinds of horrors, they are relatively reliable after all, and Brother Pig has gone farther and farther on the road of madness.
Brother Zhu resurrected the ancestor of their Zhuge family, Ge Bo, the monarch of Ge during the Xia Dynasty.
There are three origins of the surname Zhuge :
According to legend, after the fall of the feudal kingdom of Ge Bo, a descendant of Boyi, a branch of the Ge clan who originally lived in the counties of Langya County migrated to Yangdu, because Yangdu already had the surname Ge, so the surname Ge who moved later was called Zhuge clan.
The second came from the Xiong family and was changed by the surname Zhan Ge. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qi State had the Xiong clan and then had the compound surname Zhan Ge, which was changed to Zhuge because of the pronunciation, and later changed to Zhuge clan.
Third, according to historical records, when Chen Sheng was not yet king, Ge Ying led his troops to Jiujiang, where he met Xiangjiang, a descendant of Chu. But then came the news that Chen Sheng was king, and Ge Ying killed Xiangjiang again because one minister could not serve the two masters, and then returned to Chen County to meet Chen Sheng, and reported the incident. Chen Sheng held a grudge because of this, and later found an excuse to kill Ge Ying. But when Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen gave Ge Ying's grandson the title of county marquis in order to record Ge Ying's contribution to the rebellion against the tyrannical Qin, and lived here. In order to thank Emperor Wen for his merits, Ge merged the surname "Ge" with the place name and renamed it "Zhuge ". In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Zhuge clan moved from Zhuxian to Yangdu to live.
Among them, Ge Ying's guy has come out. As for what the hell Zhan Ge is, Bao Hong doesn't know. And here, Geber is more reliable.
The problem is that this is a person from the **** period, and no one seems to have appeared before this period.
The king of Ge Guo during the Ge Boxia Dynasty. At the end of summer, Shang Tang lived in Bo, adjacent to the Ge country, and Shang Tang destroyed the Ge country in the name of Ge Bo not worshipping the ancestral gods and unjustly killing children, and since then the war to destroy the Xia has begun.
However, having said that, Bao Hong can also see some of the tricks, because according to the system, Ge Bo is a descendant of Boyi, which is more subtle, if Brother Zhu is to trace his ancestors, it is impossible not to know the existence of Boyi.
As for what the hell Boyi is, that's going a long way.
The so-called Bo Yi is a native of Yao Shun, surnamed Jiang, the fourteenth grandson of Emperor Yan Shennong, and the great-great-grandson of Gonggong, who lived around 2300 BC.
Bo Yi served as the high priest of the emperor, and later became the first generation of Taiyue.
Siyue was an official position during the Yaoshun period and was in charge of the affairs of the princes. The Boyi mentioned here is one of the successive officials of the Four Mountains, Taiyue, and is also the one who is commemorated by people.
Taiyue is Huashan, because the descendants of Emperor Yan worship the gods, think that the mountain is high and connect with the sky, can pass the gods, and Huashan is the first peak in its eyes, so it is called Taiyue. Later, because of the sacrifice to the gods, the official position of Taiyue was produced, and Boyi was the first Taiyue. In the future, the Taiyue tribe did not forget the tradition of worshiping the mountains every time they moved to another place, so the four mountains (the highest peaks in the southeast, northwest, and northwest directions centered on the Taiyue tribe, which later evolved into official positions and were held by the tribal leaders), were in charge of the sacrifices of the four sacred mountains. They were all sons of Beyi.
When Emperor Yao, Boyi assisted the government, was in charge of etiquette (Boyi for Yao's "three ceremonies" and "five punishments"), helped Yao to govern the tribal alliance, and had great political achievements. Emperor Shun officially appointed Boyi as the rank of emperor. When Yu acted as the Son of Heaven, Boyi assisted him wholeheartedly and became Yu's confidant. After Boyi was a co-worker, he was also good at water control and helped Yu to control water.
There is a lot of content involved in this, and if you really want to pull it up, it is not difficult to trace it back to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.
But then again, there is a record of this in the "Historical Records" itself, if it can really be resurrected, it is not necessarily, maybe this is Zhuge Liang is trying, and next time he may resurrect a more distant existence.
Then there is Feng Gongjiu, who Bao Hong arranged for Gao Xianzhi to try to find.
If it is Zou Yan himself, he may not know much about the characters of the Han Dynasty, but there is Feng Gongjiu, so he is naturally familiar with the various characters of the Han Dynasty. This time, he resurrected one of the representatives of the Yin and Yang family, Dongfang Shuo, a celebrity during the Emperor Wu period.
Dongfang Shuo is full of reading scriptures and books, and is proficient in Yili. Good at shooting, deeply loved by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
In the early years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he recruited virtuous and upright people with literary talents from all over the world. Scholars and Confucian scholars from all over the country have applied for jobs. Dongfang Shuo even wrote the content of 3,000 bamboo slips, which only two people could bear, while Emperor Wu took two months to read them. In the self-recommendation letter, Dongfang Shuo said: "I Dongfang Shuo lost my parents when I was a teenager and grew up relying on the support of my brother and sister-in-law. I started reading at the age of thirteen, and after three years of hard work, I read enough books; learned fencing at the age of fifteen; At the age of sixteen, he learned "poems" and "books"; The reading volume reached 220,000 words. At the age of nineteen, he began to learn the art of war and common sense of warfare, and knew how to use various weapons, as well as the cymbals and drums for soldiers to advance and retreat during battle. The book on this subject also reads 220,000 words, for a total of 440,000 words. I admire Zilu's rhetoric. Now I'm twenty-two years old, and I'm nine feet three inches tall. The eyes are blazing, like bright beads, the teeth are white and neat like choreographed shells, brave like Meng Zhi, agile like Qingji, honest and thrifty like Uncle Bao, and Xinyi like Weisheng. A person like me should be able to be the minister of the Son of Heaven! ”。 After reading this, Emperor Wu thought that Dongfang Shuo was extraordinary, so he ordered him to wait for the summons in the bus office.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once hid the gecko in the bowl while playing a game of shooting, but no one guessed it. Dongfang Shuo to Emperor Wu
Dongfang Shuo stole the peach picture and said: "The minister has learned "Yi", please allow me to guess what it is." So he arranged the yarrow into various hexagrams and replied, "I think that it is a dragon but has no horns, that it is a snake with legs, that it has limbs and that it is good at climbing walls, that this thing is either a gecko or a lizard." So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave Dongfang Shuo ten silks. Later, Emperor Wu asked Dongfang Shuo to guess other things, and Dongfang Shuo was rewarded for every guess. Dongfang Shuo was also jealous of Guo Sheren, who was favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Guo Sheren said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Dongfang Shuo was arrogant, but in fact, he had no real skills, and his guess was just accidental. and asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to compete with Dongfang Shuo. Guo Sheren used the parasitism on the tree to solve the problem, but Dongfang Shuo also guessed it. After the defeat, Guo Sheren was still unwilling, and asked Dongfang Shuo a riddle, but Dongfang Shuo replied that no riddle could stump him, and everyone present was also very surprised. After that, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed Dongfang Shuo as a regular servant, and Dongfang Shuo was finally loved and favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The legendary stories about Dongfang Shuo are more spread in wild history legends, and I also appeared as an existence such as a Yin and Yang family monk.
In the Han Wu Dynasty where "the Han Dynasty won people, and Yu Zi was prosperous", Dongfang Shuo failed to make political achievements in the title of the Qing History Book, but he accompanied Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for many years as a close attendant, and also had a certain impact on the behavior of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Dongfang Shuo took advantage of his approach to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to observe words and feelings, and spoke bluntly at every opportunity. In the matter of repairing the forest garden, Emperor Wu was advised to abstain from luxury and compassion for the people, in the matter of Zhaopingjun's murder, Emperor Wu was advised to enforce the law fairly, and Emperor Wu was overkill in the matter of the master. And so on and so forth.
However, to be honest, this kind of man-machine is more than flexible, but it is lacking in practice, and it is much inferior to other powers. (To be continued.) )
