【Idiom Story】:

Liu An, a thinker and writer in the Western Han Dynasty, was the grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and was named the king of Huainan by his father. He loved to read and play the piano, and his talent was quick, and he once gathered thousands of guests and thousands of people who knew astronomy, medicine, calendrical calculations, divination, etc., and collectively compiled a book of hundreds of thousands of words "Honglie", also known as "Huainanzi".

There is a "Commentary on the Teachings of Yan" in "Huainanzi", which talks about some situations in the development of human society, and its basic viewpoint is in line with historical materialism. The article reads: "Our ancestors lived in caves and by the water, dressed very poorly, and lived a very difficult life.

Later, the saints came out, and they led the people to build palaces, so that people could come out of the cave and live in houses where they could escape from the wind and rain. The sage also taught people to make agricultural tools and weapons for farming and hunting wild animals, so that people's lives were more secure than in the past.

Later, the saints made rituals and music, and formulated various rules, so that people had etiquette and restraint. It can be seen that society is constantly evolving, and people do not always live in one way. Therefore, the ancient system should be abolished if it is no longer suitable for use; And for the current one, if it is suitable for use, it should be carried forward.

All of the above shows that like thousands of rivers from different sources, but they all end up flowing into the sea, everyone does different things, but they all want to better govern society and live a better life.
