Chapter 964: Pity the hearts of parents in the world

As the children grow up day by day, Zhuangzi and Mai'er, who are fathers and mothers, are also becoming more and more sad day by day. ?? 八一Chinese (八)(一)(八).? 8 (a) 1 (a) Z?

When my son is older, he is facing the hurdle of military service.

When the daughter is older, according to the law, she must marry when she reaches the age of marriage and childbearing, and is responsible for giving birth to children for the country's military resources and comprehensive national strength. Daughters are not required to serve in the military, but sons-in-law are required to serve in the military.

Daughters do not have to serve in the military, while sons-in-law also have to serve in the military, and sons-in-law are also half sons, which is equivalent to their own family. The son-in-law is in the military, and Zhuangzi, as the old father-in-law, has the same headache. If the son-in-law has three long and two short on the battlefield, the daughter will be in pain, and the father and mother will be in the same pain.

As a father and mother, who wants their sons and sons-in-law to die on the battlefield? Giving birth to children is to hope that they will live a peaceful life and experience the process of being born as human beings, rather than going to war or death.

The key question is? Is there any point in this battle? Is it a fight for survival?

For Zhuangzi! In this troubled world, all wars are meaningless. For Taoists, war is a fight for survival, a fight for one's own survival!

But in this troubled world, wars are fought for the king's own selfishness.

In order for kings to perpetuate their thrones, their descendants will always be above others, and they will make the people fight for their own selfishness.

So! Zhuangzi believed that it was not worth it for his son and son-in-law to die for such a war.

Taoism is not against war, but! Think that all wars are a fight for oneself, a fight for survival.

Taoism does not simply talk about fighting for the individual, but also about fighting for others, fighting for the collective, and fighting for the country.

This other, collective, and state does not refer to others, collectives, and countries in the conceptual sense. But! Others, collectives, and countries with substantial connections.

The concept of others, collectives, and countries refers to others in general, and the concepts of others include not knowing each other, having no connection, and there is no relationship between you and me. Collectives are also a general term that refers to collectives formed by temporary combinations that are not usually entangled with each other. The state is also a general reference, and the country generally refers to the country.

And that's not the way the concept is viewed by Taoists!

According to Taoism, others generally refer to spouses, children, and family members who are usually in contact with each other, have a common purpose with each other, and so on.

Collectives generally refer to families, kinship relationships, interest relationships, mutual common goals, and so on.

The concept of the state does not simply refer to the state, but! The State is a large institution for the protection of its people. When this big organization cannot guarantee the safety of Taoism, Taoists generally do not recognize this as their country, and there is no concept of "state" that people generally think of in the world.

So! The battle of Taoism must first be to fight for oneself and for one's own survival. Second! It's a fight for the survival of your family! Third! It's fighting for the collective, it's fighting for the people on the same front! Fourth! If this country can protect us, we will fight for this country to destroy our hostile nations.

And in this troubled era, the war between the princes is generally a war between kings in order to maintain their throne and fight for hegemony. Plainly! It's all a war fought by kings for their own selfishness.

So! Zhuangzi thinks! These wars are not wars for the survival of the people, they are meaningless wars.

If the nomads in the north come to our Great Zhou to rob our property and kill our people, we can go to this war and exterminate the nomads, which is meaningful.

And the war between the princes is because of the selfishness of the princes, and the result! It has affected the people. And then! The mutual revenge between the vassal states, which affected the people, became a confused account, and no one could tell who violated whom.

Generally, in order to start a war and find a reason to fight, princes and kings will preach and encourage their people to say how others treat us, and we should be patriotic and counterattack.

In fact! It's just a muddled account.

In fact! The root cause of the war was caused by the selfishness of the princes.

So! At present, all the wars between the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty are meaningless.

For Taoists, it makes no sense.

So! We can simply not be involved in this war.

But? We are confined to a vassal state, the subjects of a vassal state, kidnapped to the fate of the nation, unable to escape this senseless war.

How can war be avoided? Let the children live in peace?

Zhuangzi racked his brains, and felt that it was inevitable.

When he first gave birth to children, Zhuangzi took into account the fact that children would face when they grew up.

This is a painful thing, and no one wants their sons and sons-in-law to participate in this senseless war and die on the battlefield.

It is for this reason that Zhuangzi does not want to have too many children. But! Selling children just doesn't agree. She is going to give birth, and she also has a preference for boys.

Now that she is selling her sons, she sees that her children are gradually growing up, her son is going to serve in the military, and her son-in-law is going to serve in the military after her daughter gets married, so she understands the pain of being a father and mother, and she understands that Zhuangzi was so reluctant at the beginning.

The more children are raised, the more opportunities there are for such suffering.

Since giving birth to the last daughter, Mai'er has given birth to another son. Because he understands that he will have to face these pains in the future, he no longer asks for a baby. In order to avoid having a baby, she had to sleep separately from Zhuangzi. If men and women do not come into contact and experience the pleasure of men and women, they will not have children, which is the best contraceptive method in this era.

Military service cannot be avoided, though! In each princely state, the conditions for military service were different.

For example! Disabled people are not required to serve in the military, people with special abilities are not required to serve in the military, and so on.

In other words, a way to circumvent it could be found in every princely state.

A person with a special ability can not do military service, and this special ability means being learned, or! A special skill, such as sword forging, smelting techniques, or skills needed in the court.

He became famous soon after his debut, and was known as Zhuangzi, and he was the inheritor of Taoist doctrine, so he did not serve in the military. Otherwise! He is also subject to military service.

So! Zhuangzi thought: How can we prevent my son and son-in-law from doing military service and not participating in this senseless war?

Judging from the current situation, his son is big, knows martial arts, has strong survival ability in the wild, is friendly to people, and is shrewd...... Nima Di! These are eligible for military service!

No way! You have to let your son learn special skills, such as smelting techniques, or some special skills, that's all! in order to avoid military service.

But? Generally, people who know these special skills have a relationship of inheritance, and you don't know or contact these people, and no one teaches you at all.

In the Song Kingdom, there is another way to avoid military service, that is, to marry more wives, you have many wives, many children, heavy burdens, under the protection of the local town history, you can not do military service.

Because! The history of the local town should not only ensure the country's military resources, but also the local population. Kill the best rooster, who will breed the hens?

But there are drawbacks to this? The son has many children, and the son will also face the pain of his children's military service in the future......
