The spectacle of the simultaneous triumph of March lasted only a moment, and then the two competing stars disappeared and were no longer visible.

The hall was silent for a long time.

The red-nosed old man turned his head and said solemnly: "Zou Zining pointed out the direction for us behind the curse of heaven. The Yin and Yang School hopes that you can take care of it more. Now that the second Hu Hai returned to Xianyang and Zhao Gao, it seems that Qin's national fortunes are still alive, and my Confucian school has decided to suspend its actions. I don't know why? ”

The green-robed old man who was the first to ask questions before also took the lead in standing up and said, "My Mo family is willing to advance and retreat with Confucius." ”

The rest of the people in the hall also expressed their willingness to advance and retreat with Confucianism. In this small hall are the leaders of Confucianism, Taoism, Mo, agriculture, vertical and horizontal, Yin and Yang, etc.

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the end of the Warring States Period, Qin unified the world, which was the era of the great integration of ideas in the land of China. Confucianism, Taoism and other schools do not need to be said.

The Yin-Yang school was an important academic school in the pre-Qin period.

With yin and yang and the five elements as the central idea, hence the name. Its representative figures are also known as the Yin and Yang family and the Five Elements family. It is said to have been transformed by ancient celestial and astrologers. During the Warring States period, the theory of yin and yang and the five elements flourished.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Yin and Yang school still existed, and gradually declined into the era until Emperor Wu, and all the ancient books and works were lost, and the surviving records were only seen in the works of Zhuzi.

Most of the so-called superstitious professions such as feng shui masters and fortune tellers, which have been popular in later generations, originated from the yin and yang schools at this time.

The most obvious sign is that the "Onmyoji", which is still popular in a certain island country, is a branch of the Yin and Yang school at the end of the Warring States Period in China, which evolved from a certain island country around the sixth or seventh century BC.

The representative of the Yin and Yang school is Zou Yan, who interpreted the surname of the five elements as "five virtues" according to the theory of mutual growth and victory of the five elements, and created the "five virtues are the beginning of the theory", and used it as the law of the rise and fall of dynasties in the past dynasties, providing a theoretical basis for the establishment of the emerging unified dynasty.

And the old man named Zou Zi is Zou Yan's descendant, Minghong. He is revered by the rest of the families as Zouzi.

After all, since the first emperor "burned books and pit Confucianism" and respected the Legalists, although he still created a doctoral system for hundreds of schools to participate in political affairs and comment on current affairs.

However, it is an indisputable fact that hundreds of schools of thought are declining, and Legalism is dominant.

It can be said that the rise and fall of the hundred schools of thought are closely related to the rise and fall of the Great Qin Empire.

The rise and fall of the Qin Empire for more than 500 years (from the establishment of the Qin vassal states to the fall of the Second Empire) was the most free-spirited and energetic golden age in Chinese history. In the words of that time, it was an era of drastic changes in which "the rites collapsed, the clay kettle thundered, the high bank became the valley, and the deep valley became the mausoleum".

In the words of historicism, it was an era of great destruction, great creation, great destruction, great rise and fall, and thus a great transformation in general.

The transformation of the bronze civilization to the iron civilization, the transformation of the subordinate peasant aristocratic economy to the free peasant landlord economy, and the transformation of the federal state system to the central ruling state made the Chinese nation reach the ultimate state of agricultural civilization in that era.

The historical process of this glorious transformation is the historical process of the rise and fall of the Qin Empire.

The spirit of the times nurtured by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was strong competition and strong survival. In the words of the time, it was "the world of great contention". The so-called great struggle is to fight for comprehensiveness, to fight thoroughly, to fight for a long time, and to fight for cruelty and ruthlessness.

The combination of disputes in the spring and autumn for about 300 years is like spring water melting the river ice, breaking the suffocation and closure of the classical federal kingdom era, the emergence of iron tools, the activity of commerce, the shaking of the well field system, the weakening of the authority of the Son of Heaven, the emergence of new landlords and scholars, and the life state of the whole society is greatly enlivened.

Thus, the old system collapsed, the old culture was destroyed, and the civilian slaves, who were as despicable as crockpots, thundered and restless. The high mountains have collapsed, and the deep canyons have risen into majestic mountains!

Entering the Warring States, this strife finally evolved into a great strife, and a thorough competition for strong survival began. If you are weak, you will perish, and if you are backward, you will be beaten, and it has become an iron-blooded reality with almost no buffer.

Radical change of law, radical refresh of oneself, has become the imminent way of survival for every state. The resulting competition for talent is hot. The incompetent mediocre talents were abandoned, the deaf monarchs were killed, the famous and the talented became the treasures of the world, and the Ming monarchs and heroes became the most beloved heroes.

There are many famous generals, great talents are like clouds, and heroes are one after another. All the branches of civilization of the Chinese nation have been drawn into this all-round and thorough competition!

Economic, political, military, cultural, and all spheres of social life have collided with their most brilliant brilliance in this great struggle. The scale of the war was the largest, the economic reform was the most thorough, the struggle for power was the most brutal, the cultural contention was the most intense, the fate of the people was most closely linked with the fate of the country, the greatest number of miracles were created, and the greatest number of great men emerged -- all of these were incomparable with or even unimaginable in later eras.

The Qin Empire, which grew up in such historical soil, was the crystallization of the powerful forging of that great era.

The Qin Empire rose in the midst of iron-blooded competition, embracing the robust, simple, innovative and realistic spirit of that era.

After more than 160 years of unswerving efforts and unswerving efforts by six generations of leaders, she completed the greatest imperial revolution, established a powerful and unified empire, created a new era of iron civilization, and completed the great historical transformation of China's agricultural civilization.

As the spirit of the times, the Great Qin Empire most intensively embodies the strong survival spirit of the Chinese nation in that era.

The entire civilization system of the Chinese nation can be continued like a great river, and the strong survival tradition created and laid down in the Qin Empire era can be said to have played a decisive role.

Unfortunately, as a unified empire and a deliberate debasement of the official ideology that later centered on Confucianism, the Qin Empire was almost lost in the smoke of history under the notoriety of "tyrannical and harsh government".

For two thousand years, in the depiction and judgment of the Qin Empire, the old orthodox form and the old folk art have been similar, or deliberately derogatory, or unintentionally smeared.

This is the tragedy of Chinese history and the tragedy of Chinese civilization -- a nation with a sense of justice and history has forcibly classified the great empire that laid the foundation of its civilization into an alien category and violently attacked it!

When many people lack confidence in the face of Western civilization, when our national civilization is diluted and messed up by various factors, we forget the Great Qin Empire, forget that great era, and forget to seek the regenerative power of "Phoenix Nirvana" from the huge native civilization.

Although we have not forgotten the Qin Empire, we have also been indifferent to the courage and creativity of that era.
