"Vantan": Endless labor, greedy ruler

In the long run, the working people of the middle and lower strata of society toil all day long, while the rulers of the upper strata do not work hard, and in the long run, the working people will naturally have a strong resentment towards the rulers. The disgruntled working people slowly woke up and began to ask these unearned parasites a righteous rebuke.

When a group of loggers toiled to cut down sandalwood to make cars, they thought that the exploiters took the fruits of their labor instead of growing crops or hunting, and the loggers were very angry, so they began to ask for accountability.

The loggers carried the sandalwood they had cut down with their own hands to the river, and in the face of the rippling clear water, they found temporary relief and pleasure, but it was only a momentary feeling. Because of the heavy oppression and exploitation they were burdened with, when faced with the free flow of the river, they naturally thought of themselves doing the heaviest labor all day long, without any freedom, and thus aroused a strong grievance in their hearts. The loggers thought that they would not only have to cut wood to build cars, but also to grow crops and hunt for the exploiters. However, all these harvested items are taken by the exploiters, and they have nothing.

The more they thought about it, the more angry they became, and it was almost time to suppress it, so they could not help but ask sternly: If you don't plant crops and don't harvest, why do you move all the grain to you? You don't hunt either, so why is the game hanging in your yard? Slowly, they discover that the exploiters are a bunch of strange insects that don't work for nothing. They began to sneer at the exploiters, and they also expressed the anger of rebellion that had been hidden in their hearts for a long time.

Cutting down sandalwood trees, putting them down and piling them down by the river, the river water is clear and microwaved. If you don't sow and don't reap, why do you move three hundred sheaves of grain home? If you don't hunt in winter and don't hunt at night, why do you see a badger hanging in your courtyard? Those old men and gentlemen will not eat idle meals in vain!

Cut down the sandalwood tree to make the spokes of the cart and put it in a pile by the river. The river water is clear and direct. If you don't sow and don't reap, why should you take three hundred sheaves of crop alone? If you don't hunt in winter and don't hunt at night, why do you see the hanging pillar of your courtyard beast? Those old men and gentlemen will not eat in vain!

Cut down the sandalwood trees to make wheels, and put them down one by one by the river. The river is clear and rippling. If you don't sow and don't reap, why should you swallow three hundred sheaves of crop? If you don't hunt in winter and don't hunt at night, why do you see quails hanging in your courtyard? Those old men and gentlemen don't eat fishy meat for nothing!

"Big Rat": Leave this group of exploiters and find a paradise on earth

Ever since mankind entered class society, the struggle of the exploited classes against exploitation has never ceased. In slave societies, flight was the main form of slave rebellion against their slave owners. Slave escape was recorded in the Yin Shang period, from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, with the decline of slavery, the resistance of slaves developed from fleeing to mass struggle. In "Zuo Biography", there is an incident in which Zheng Guo sent troops to suppress the resistance and the resistance of Chen Guo's city builders.

And now everyone calls the slave-owning exploiting class a greedy and abominable rat and a fat rat, and warns in a commanding tone: Don't eat the millet I planted! The image of the rat is ugly and cunning, with a natural penchant for stealing food, which is an apt metaphor for the greedy exploiter, and it also expresses the resentment of the working people towards the rulers.

The exploiters are not only insatiable but also have no conscience, and the laborers serve them so hard that they not only do not give them favors, but they do not even have the slightest comfort. The laborers finally shouted out their hearts with the force of thunder, vowing to leave this place and find a paradise on earth to live in peace, and their attitude was resolute. Although they want to find a paradise on earth where they can live and work in peace and contentment, free from exploitation, this is only an illusion and cannot exist in the real society. However, this represents their vision of a better life, and it is also the social ideal that they have produced in their long-term life and struggle, and it also marks their awakening. It is precisely this beautiful ideal of life that inspires and inspires the working people of later generations to fight continuously to break free from oppression and exploitation.

Big vole, big vole, don't eat the millet I planted! I have served you hard for many years, but you have not taken care of me. Vows to get rid of you and go to the promised land to be happy. That Paradise, that Paradise, is my best place!

Big vole, big vole, don't eat the wheat I planted! I have served you hard for many years, but you have treated me well. I vow to get rid of you and go to the land of Nale with love. That happy country, that happy country, is where my good lies!

Big vole, big vole, don't eat the seedlings I planted! I have served you hard for many years, but you have not been kind to me! I swore that I would get rid of you and go to the happy suburbs to have laughter. That Le Jiao, that Le Jiao, who still laments the long cry!

National style, Tang style

"Tang Feng" is a folk song of the Tang Dynasty in the pre-Qin era, with a total of 12 songs. Tang is the name of the ancient country, King Cheng of Zhou divided his younger brother Yu here, and later Yu's son Xie (xiè) ascended the throne, changed the name of the country to Jin, and the ruling area probably included the area along the Fenshui River basin south of Taiyuan, Shanxi, "Tang Feng" is the folk song of this region.

The Jin State was a superpower in the Spring and Autumn Period, one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, and also the country that had been dominating for the longest time.

It is recorded in the "Zuo Biography" that the king of Zhou violated the mandate of heaven, and the princes abandoned him and set up an heir, so the capital was moved to the eastern capital. After King You of Zhou was killed by Dog Rong, Shenhou, Luhou and Xu Wengong supported the original prince Yijiu to ascend the throne as King Zhou Ping. At the same time, Yu Gonghan also supported the prince Yu Chen as the king with the land, called the king of Zhou. At this time, the Zhou royal family had a situation where two kings stood side by side. King Ping of Zhou was supported by the vassal states of Zheng, Jin, Qin, and Wei, and was considered the orthodoxy of the Zhou royal family, while King Zhou was relatively isolated. In 760 BC, Marquis Wen of Jin helped King Ping of Zhou to attack and kill King Xi of Zhou, the Zhou royal family was unified, and history entered the Spring and Autumn Period.

During the reign of King Ping of Zhou, the Zhou dynasty declined, and the Jin kingdom slowly developed and grew during the Spring and Autumn period. After the death of Marquis Wen of Jin, his son Marquis Zhao of Jin ascended the throne, and Marquis Zhao named his uncle to become a teacher in Quwo, and the world called him Uncle Quwo Huan. Quwo is bigger than Yicheng, the capital of Jin Jun, but Zhaohou still sealed Chengshi to Quwo. A city larger than the national capital, which is clearly contrary to the etiquette between kings and ministers. Later, the minister of the Jin State, Pan's father, killed the Marquis of Zhao and welcomed Uncle Qu Wohuan into the capital. However, this time he killed the king, because the Jin people sent troops to attack Uncle Qu Wohuan, he did not achieve the goal of usurping the throne.

The Jin people established the son of Marquis Zhao as the Marquis of Filial Piety, and after the Marquis of Filial Piety killed Pan's father, Uncle Qu Wohuan's first battle ended in failure. After the death of Uncle Qu Wo Huan, his son Qu Wo Zhuangbo once again attacked the Jin capital, and due to the attack of the Jin people and the intervention of King Zhou Ping, the second battle ended in defeat again. After the death of Quwo Zhuangbo, Qu Wowu Gong was established, and Qu Wo Wu Gong sent troops to attack Jin Jun, and finally captured the Jin capital. At the same time, Qu Wo Wu Gong presented a large number of treasures to King Zhou Xi, coupled with the decline of the Zhou royal family, King Zhou Xi ordered Qu Wo Wu Gong to be the king of Jin and listed as a prince. Finally, after the efforts of three generations, after 67 years of history, Quwodaiyi has achieved success.

Quwo Wugong is the Jin Wugong, and after the death of the Jin Wugong, the Jin Xiangong ascended the throne. Jin Xiangong was a very accomplished monarch who led the vigorous Jin kingdom to expand and eliminate many small vassal states. After the expansion, the Jin state, bordering the Qin state to the west, the Zhai state to the north, and Hanoi to the east, has become a powerful vassal state. In his later years, Jin Xiangong doted on one of his concubines, Li Ji. Xiangong wanted to establish Li Ji's son Xi Qi as the crown prince, so he transferred the crown prince Shensheng, Gongzi Chong'er, and Gongzi Yiwu out of the national capital to express his thoughts in this way.

Li Ji often framed the crown prince Shensheng in front of Xiangong, so that Xiangong mistakenly thought that the prince Shensheng wanted to murder him, and finally Xiangong killed the prince Shensheng. Childe Chong'er and Childe Yigo were afraid of harming themselves, so they fled one after another. After the death of the Duke of Xian, the great doctor of the Jin Kingdom, Rick, killed Xi Qi. Xun Xili, the half-brother of Xun Xili, the doctor of the Jin Kingdom, and the son of Shaoji, the younger sister of Li Ji, ascended the throne. Soon after, Rick killed the mourner. Rick welcomed Chong'er and Yiwu back to the Jin Kingdom successively, but neither prince trusted Rick, and Yiwu returned to the Jin Kingdom with the help of Qin Mugong. With the help of Qin Mugong, Yiwu became the monarch of the Jin State and became the Duke of Jin Hui.

At the beginning, Duke Hui of Jin promised Qin Mugong that if he could return to the Jin State and ascend the throne smoothly, he was willing to cede the land in the Hexi region of the Jin State to the Qin State. But later, Jin Huigong not only violated his original promise to Qin, but also killed Rick and several other doctors, which greatly discouraged the people. The Jin Kingdom was among the princes, and its prestige also decreased. When the famine year came, the Jin State received assistance from the Qin State; When the Qin State encountered a famine year and borrowed rice from the Jin State, Jin Huigong listened to Yu Cai's words, repaid virtue with grievances, and took the opportunity to attack the Qin State. Later, in the great war between the Jin State and the Qin State, the Jin State was defeated, and the Duke of Jin Hui was also captured by the Qin army.

Qin Mugong's wife was the sister of Jin Huigong, and she cried very sadly when she saw her younger brother being captured. After all, the Jin State was a big country, and besides, the crown prince of the Jin State (yǔ) was in the Jin State. Qin Mugong later listened to the minister's advice and released Jin Huigong. In order to show his sincerity, Jin Huigong asked the crown prince to go to Qin State as a hostage. Taiziyu's mother was a native of Liang, and later the Qin State destroyed the Liang State, and the Duke of Jin Huigong was seriously ill, and the Taiziyu was worried that things would change, so he fled back to the Jin State. After the death of Duke Hui of Jin, the crown prince ascended the throne as Duke Huai of Jin.
