In 339 BC, King Xian of Zhou was 3o years old, King Chu Wei was 1 year, and Zhuangzi was 31 years old. Heaven's Voice. 『⒉

In the twenty-eighth year of King Xuan of Chu (342 BC), King Xuan of Chu led an army of 300,000 to the east of Huaibei, wanting to destroy more than a dozen small vassal states between Huaibei and Sishang and expand the territory of Chu.

Just when King Xuan of Chu and the three ** teams of Qi, Yue and Song fought against Huaibei, Wei Ying led 200,000 Qin troops out of Languan. The soldiers were divided into two routes, all the way east out of Luonan, all the way east out of Shangluo Ancient Road, meeting the troops in Shangzhou and driving away the Chu army in Shangzhou. Then! He also waved his army to the east, captured Danfeng and Wuguan, which were guarded by the Chu army, and sent a large army to garrison Shangluo, Danfeng and Wuguan. The north of the Danjiang River and the west of Wuguan, together with the entire Shangluo Ancient Road, were incorporated into the territory of the Qin State.

The state of Qin betrayed the alliance between Qin and Chu, and King Xuan of Chu was extremely angry, and with the recovery of his old illness, he could not afford to fall ill. The following year, he became seriously ill and died at the end of the year. Before he died, he still thought about the land of Shangzhou.

King Xuan of Chu died, and King Wei of Chu ascended the throne.

At the suggestion of his ministers, King Chu Wei prepared to revive the majesty of the Chu State, and after a series of measures were promulgated, he began to recruit talents from all over the world.

When looking for the world's talents, the god of ships inadvertently appeared. After inquiry, he learned that the god of ships might be Zhuangzi, so he became interested in Zhuangzi.

King Chu Wei learned that Zhuangzi was indeed a great talent, and decided to send someone to invite him.

Zhuangzi learned that King Chu Wei was going to invite him to the state of Chu as his minister, so he inquired about this person. With his current ability, it is not difficult to inquire about this.

Soon after coming to the Chu Palace, he knew about the state of Chu and the king of Chu Wei.

King Chu Wei was an ambitious king with a serious desire to dominate the world. And now Zhuangzi is a person on the cultural front, and he does not want to swallow up the world by force, let alone see killing.

The war is brutally, needless to say. No matter who goes to war, and no matter who gets the world through war, the process of war is nothing more than this: the people of this vassal state kill the people of that vassal state. The final result was: the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty killed each other.

To put it more bluntly: it's all cannibalism between human beings.

Although Taoism also talks about decisiveness in killing, it is decisive in killing those who affect their survival. But Taoism has a bottom line, and without affecting one's own survival, it is not killed, and survival is the bottom line of Taoism.

Taoists are not outright philanthropists and do not kill. Opposite! For other people and things that affect the bottom line of survival, the shots are devastating, and they are absolutely not soft. In other words, Taoism does not mean that human beings cannot fight war with each other. But! We need to fight for survival, not for senselessness.

But? Wars for hegemony between princes are often not waged against other countries because of problems with the survival of the people. But! A reactionary war between princes and kings for land, for the vanity of hegemony, for the king's own personal purposes.

So! For wars between princes, Zhuangzi and Taoism did not support it.

The suffering of the people and the hardship of the people's survival were caused by the war between the princes and the princes, forcing the people to participate in the war. But war does not solve the problems of people's suffering and survival, on the contrary! It will only get worse.

So! Let's not get blindly involved in the war, but! It is necessary to see clearly the ultimate purpose of war.

In fact, it has been proved that the purpose of the war between the princes, the war between kings, is only for the survival of the small vassal states, and the war of the large vassal states is not for the survival of the people. But! For hegemony.

The small vassal states were forced to get involved in the war under pressure from the larger vassal states. In fact! The war was not entirely a matter of the survival of the people, but more of a matter of the throne of the king. In order to keep his throne and keep his descendants on the throne forever, and to live a life of luxury forever, the king participated in the war.

There are cases where small vassal states are not living as well as they used to be due to being vassalized (colonized), but after all, they are caused by "double taxation". After being vassalized, the small vassal states had to support their own monarch on the one hand, and the occupying country on the other, and double taxation was caused.

And once the small vassal states are destroyed and there is no king of their own, there is often no double taxation.

For the people, having milk is a mother. Don't discriminate against them, don't abuse them, give them the right to live, whoever becomes the king, it's the same. And with discrimination and abuse, there is still a problem of survival, and people will stand up and rebel.

Taoist! It is to look at things from the perspective of survival.

But the other families, as well as the people of the world who have been influenced by the Great Zhou for hundreds of years, do not see it this way. These people all look at things from a narrow perspective. It is a shame to think that one's vassal state has perished, to think that one should be loyal to one's own king, to think that this is to think that, to think that it is too much. Anyway! With the same point of view, there is a reason for the war, and it is natural to get involved in the war.

And the Taoists don't think so. Taoists believe: one! We are all people of the Great Zhou. Second! We are all human!

You must classify yourself as a subject of a vassal state, and your thinking and realm will be narrow.

Or! You divide yourself according to this logic of thinking, and you divide yourself into smaller areas, such as who you are. Just like a soldier in the army, you divide yourself into who you are in charge and who you command. That's okay, you're a soldier after all.

But? At this stage, only the military thinks that they belong to whom. And most people's mode of thinking stays on the concept of a vassal state, thinking that they are people from a vassal state, thinking about the country in everything, and having a national and national concept.

And what about the military? Their thinking and concept stay on the concept of the army, believing that I am a soldier and obey the command of the leader in everything. In fact! Thinking is the same narrowly. Think about it: What if this leader has selfish intentions and collaborates with the enemy? And if so? Aren't you all being used as guns?

If we divide ourselves according to this logic of thinking, we can divide ourselves into smaller areas. For example, if we jump out of the circle of soldiers, we are not soldiers, are we peasants or group organizations, or are we families and families?

What if we look at things according to this mindset? We are limited to the cognitive level of group organization, family, and family.

However, the thinking mode of the people of the world mostly stays at the narrow cognitive level of vassal states, soldiers, group organizations, families, and families. He didn't regard himself as a citizen of Da Zhou, let alone look at the problem from a human perspective.

In fact! We are all human!

The people of the Great Zhou are people, the people of the northern nomads are also people, the barbarians of the south are also people, and the people of those primitive tribes are also people!

We are all human!
