An official at the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty saw that the supreme ruler was arrogant and corrupt, ignorant, indistinguishable between good and evil, indistinguishable between right and wrong, listened to evil words, and reused traitorous ministers, and did not know that the disaster of destruction was coming, and he was still there to accumulate sins for himself. This official saw that the supreme ruler reused the evil, which led to the evil and unjust policies of the court, and he resented the darkness of the government ** at the same time, but also showed helplessness when he was worried about the country.

The sinister environment of their own living environment, most people will first complain about the sky, and then complain about others, and this official is the same. First of all, he held a complaining tone, pointing out that the current catastrophe of dynastic politics is that the plot is not right, the mediocre son of heaven does not distinguish between right and wrong, and does not distinguish between good and evil. This official was both indignant and worried when faced with such a fate for the country. The reason for this political chaos is that some people in power are chattering and ganging up to crack down on people with different opinions. They will not listen to good strategies, but they will agree to all bad strategies. Therefore, the official sighed again: If this continues, I really don't know what the country will go!

The official seemed to understand what the country would face, so he felt that he didn't need to do divination. He was deeply concerned about the politics of the dynasty and the fate of the state, and although there were many advisors and advisers in the court, and they often talked about it, they all talked about it. The decrees and strategies of the current dynasty did not follow the ancient sages and philosophers, and the lower did not conform to the inherent norms, and the Son of Heaven still listened to and believed partially, and did not study it, which made the dynasty's plans more detached from reality.

The official also said in an exhortatory tone that there are all kinds of talents in the country, and the Son of Heaven should choose the good and follow them, and not let them scatter and perish, which was actually a warning to Zhou Tianzi. In the end, he once again expressed his deep anxiety and anxious state of mind about national affairs, and in the face of the political situation, he is now trembling, as if he is on the edge of the abyss, and walking on thin ice:

The sky is too tyrannical, and disaster has befallen our borders. The court is really plotting evil, and I don't know when it will stop. Good strategies are difficult to follow, and crooked ways are endless. I think the court's plan is indeed too flawed.

The villain twitters and attacks dissidents, and I am sad without distinguishing between right and wrong. If there is any good strategy, they will not follow it. If there is any bad plan, they will all agree. I look at the court's plan, and I don't know where to go.

The divination turtle is tired of it, and plans not to talk to me again. There are so many advisers and strategists, but there are no good opinions. There are many discussions in the court, who dares to point out the shortcomings! It's like planning to travel far away, but it doesn't work on the road.

I grieved in this way, the ancient sages did not follow it, and the conventional way was not followed. The king likes to listen to the secluded words, and the superficial opinions are litigious. Just like the construction of the palace, of course it will not be successful.

Although the country can't be saved, people are smart and confused. Although the people are not rich, there are still wise and resourceful, and there are those who can govern the country seriously. It's like the spring that flows for a long time, not letting decay and staleness!

Don't dare to fight tigers empty-handed, and don't dare to cross the river on foot. People only know this danger, but they do not know that other calamities are coming. In the face of the political situation, I tremble, like facing a deep abyss, like stepping on thin ice.

"Xiao Wan": A dilapidated family

A lower-level official of the Western Zhou Dynasty, when his parents were alive, he had a good education, and his family life seemed to be very wealthy. However, after the death of his parents, his brothers disobeyed their parents' teachings, and one by one they were addicted to alcohol and did not do their jobs, which led to the decline of the family and even their own children. This low-ranking official always adhered to the teachings of his parents, and worked hard for state or family affairs all day long, trying to maintain the traditions of the family. However, due to the coercion and persecution of various evil forces in society, he is now powerless. He was poor and sick, and he was sued one after another, so he was so sad at this time that he lived in anxiety and trembling. He eagerly awaited the day when the family would be restored.

When he was sued continuously, he was even more sleepless and had mixed feelings, both missing his dead parents and resenting his brother who only knew that he was drunk and dreamed of death every day. After thinking about it, he was full of emotion. He misses his ancestors and parents, precisely because he is now in a miserable situation, his heart is painful, and it is also his sigh in the face of the present is not as good as the past. He lamented his brothers' drinking, both reprimanding and admonishing, indicating that these people had completely violated their parents' education. He now has to help his brothers raise their young sons, he wants nothing else, he only hopes that they can inherit the ancestral business and family style when they grow up.

Now he can only keep working and running to comfort his parents' souls in the sky. He was poor and sick, and he suffered a lawsuit, and his fate was uncertain, which really made people not know what to do. He was in a state of genuine trepidation right now, and every day was a difficult one.

A family is already so chaotic and dark, so what will the entire Zhou Dynasty become:

The little turtledove can't stop singing, spreading its wings and flying high through the sky. Sadness fills my heart, and I miss my ancestors. I didn't fall asleep until dawn, thinking about my parents' situation in the world.

The kind of person who is smart and wise, can also see calmness when drinking. But those foolish eggs will get drunk day by day with every drink. Please behave carefully, or God will not bless you.

The field was full of beans, and they went together to pick them. If the moth gives birth to a young child, the moth will carry it. You have children and I to educate and inherit the good demeanor of your ancestors.

Look at the little owl, singing with joy as it flies. I run around every day, and I travel far away every month. Get up early and stay greedy for darkness without stopping, and live up to the reputation of your parents.

The little green finch chirps and pecks millet along the grain field. Self-pity, poverty, and illness are even more helpless, and it is really infuriating to encounter lawsuits. Grab a handful of rice to occupy a hexagram to see when I can be auspicious?

Gentleness and deference to those are like gathering at the top of a tree. Worry and fear are really vigilant, like the foot of a deep valley. It's like stepping on thin ice.

"Koben": The son who was banished by his father

King Zhou You listened to the slander and exiled the crown prince Yijiu. Exile is the exile of the condemned person to a remote place. At this time, in the face of the abandonment of his parents, he was lonely, wandering, lost, painful, thinking, and even questioning. Jackdaws fly in flocks, and they are so lonely; Liu Mao cicadas chirp, but he is a wanderer with nowhere to live. He was respectful to his parents, but now his father abandoned him, and at this time, he was complaining and sad, sleepless, complaining about his father, and crying bitterly. He saw that the yawu were flying in the lair, and every day was very happy, and everyone's life was delicious, except for himself, who was banished. His heart was full of sorrow, and in the face of all this, he was helpless, which shows how heavy his heart is. He was innocent but banished, and could only cry out to heaven: What is my sin against heaven, and what is my crime?
