Chapter 214: The Myth of the Mandate of Heaven
Looking at Yu Zujia and Lao Wang, they put You Yimo on the stretcher they had set up.
I couldn't help but feel dizzy.
At this time, the watchman Zen master, who had been unspeakable in my body, spoke: "Your biomagnetic field is very dim, hurry up and eat something, otherwise you can't afford two yin gods." ”
Because of the unexpected change just now, they actually didn't eat, and they all felt very weak when they heard this.
I had an inspiration and said, "Wow! Old monk, can you enter Yimo's body and control Sister Mo's body? Aren't you all saved? ”
"This ......," the watchman seemed to think. Is this okay? Yu Zujia asked. It should work! I said, "I was the watchman who controlled my body, and the micro-manipulation was pretty good...... When the time comes, it will be possible to heal the wound, and everyone can also bring back Sister Mo's self-awareness. "They were interested, and they seemed to be in good spirits again.
The watchman spoke: "However, the situation of the girl in front of you is different from you...... You are a spiritual body, and the Yin God did not leave the body at that time, so it is easy to return to the soul, but the other party is an ordinary person, and the Yin God will generally become a ...... The Snatcher. "Snatcher! They took a breath. "But I can try!" Shouwang Zen Master said.
"Don't!" Yu Zujia decisively stopped it.
He really doesn't want to see his girlfriend become a snatcher, and she is also a snatcher who speaks manly.
They glanced at him, and they all understood and acquiesced.
After waiting for a while, no one spoke, and he said with a little regret: "Actually, you don't know enough about the takers, and I want to take this opportunity to study more." ”
"Forget it!" Lao Wang said: "Hurry up and restrain them and go to eat!" "They tied up the cow and the golden calf, simply cleaned up the site, and then went back to the cave together to find something to eat.
There was some change in the structure of the cave, and although they all noticed it, the power of hunger was very strong, and they were still trying to find a place to eat.
It seemed to take a few more turns before they found a ranger's cabin.
Under the command of the Zen Master Shouwang, they used the earthen pot and earthen stove, and finally cooked brown rice mixed with corn, and they still ate a few large bowls without any vegetables.
Regaining his strength, Lao Wang joked: "Corn mixed with rice, there are vegetables and rice, it seems to be better than egg fried rice." The police station chief nodded.
Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, and just as he was about to speak, he felt that his vision was blurred, and he slowly fell down.
I reluctantly said, "Not good!" "I also fell down with Lao Wang. Final thoughts...... The psychic body can actually be poisoned!
Yu Zujia ate less because of her injuries.
Seeing our situation, he knew the way, turned his head to look around, but gradually lost his ...... In a trance, he saw a woman's figure coming over and untying the cow and the golden bull.
Dr. Li is reading some of Professor Mok's original papers...... Since Yu Zujia and their disappearance, Lao Ma has been in contact with him, and some of his ideas have become more and more interesting to the Shiling people...... So Shi Lingren agreed to let him look at the manuscript that had been sealed.
On this day, he saw a passage in which he was so excited that he was still studying it in the middle of the night.
Excerpt from the manuscript: The so-called "major events of the country, in the worship and Rong, the major events of the initial period of the three generations of ancestors are witchcraft and war, the monks are the elite of the time, if any witchcraft is skillful, and the war is brave, everyone will definitely recommend him as the emperor."
Therefore, when later generations recall the glorious image of Yao Shunyu, they say that they "compare righteousness up and down with wisdom, their holy energy is far and clear, their light can illuminate it, and their intelligence can hear it thoroughly" means that these ancient gods and bloodline monks are all extremely high IQ, and they have clairvoyance and ears, and can accurately predict the good luck and evil in the future.
The earliest professional alchemists are actually our earliest ancestors with names and surnames.
Even the Yellow Emperor and Chi You are all monks who have practiced witchcraft to the top.
In the Great War of the Yellow Emperor Chiyou, Chiyou asked the gods to rain, and the Yellow Emperor drove the drought god and invited the Nine Heavens Xuannu to stop the rain.
Chiyou failed in his fighting method and was killed.
This is a typical Fang Shi fighting method! It is indeed earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods.
More importantly, this battle decided that everyone would call themselves "descendants of Yan and Huang" instead of "descendants of Chiyou". Therefore, the "Age of Legends" is the golden age of alchemists.
In the Shang Dynasty, the king's governance activities became more and more important, and the direct divine authority of the monarch was not very bright.
The king handed over the cultural and educational affairs to his subordinates to take care of, and the division of labor became more and more detailed: there was a "history" that specialized in sorting out the archives of witchcraft, a "Zhu" who was specifically responsible for prayer, a "corpse" that was specifically responsible for attracting divine power and rectifying the chaos, and a priest in the real primitive sense who was only responsible for dancing and praying for rain.
What's worse is that "violent witches" were prevalent at that time...... When the weather is dry, the priests are exposed to the scorching sun to move the heavens and ask for rain.
To do this is really a failure of failures.
The unwilling alchemists made a counterattack, resulting in the early period of the Han Dynasty.
That's right, although Confucianism burned cold stoves, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to seize the power of the side with the young son of heaven because almost all the large and small scholars in the country were on Liu Che's side, and said in unison: The mandate of heaven belongs to Liu Che...... Such a power is very powerful...... However, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took power, although he established systems such as sealing Zen, he seemed to know very well as a superior person: the so-called Zen concession is just a pretentious play to fool the people. It is still necessary to strengthen the soldiers and horses as the Son of Heaven, so Dong Zhongshu of Confucianism was introduced, and the three strategies of heaven and man were granted the power of the monarch.
The actual status of the alchemists did not improve much.
A typical case is that during the period of Huo Guang's auxiliary government, the words of many scholars, including important ministers or Fuluan who were officials in the court, were taken as deaf ears. Before Emperor Wu died, he entrusted Emperor Zhao to Huo Guang, and Jin Riyan, Shangguan Ji, and Sang Hongyang were ordered to help Huo Guang assist Emperor Zhao. During the reign of Emperor Zhao, the general Huo Guang has been handling the government affairs. The strangest thing is that the influential and appealing celebrities seem to be extinct...... Even after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty purged in his later years because of the Wu Gu Rebellion, he could often see some famous scholars such as An Qisheng looming, and they still influenced the times from time to time, but in the era of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, there were no such great master-level figures.
According to the "Book of Han", before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty favored Mrs. Gouyi, Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, Liu Hong, the king of Qi, and Liu Dan, the king of Yan, were established at the same time. If such a talent is put on the battlefield, it will definitely get ahead, deeply appreciated by Emperor Wu, at this time the Han Dynasty is using troops abroad, but even if Prince Er and Liu Hong died, and Liu Dan, the king of Yan, provoked Emperor Wu to be deposed, Emperor Wu still did not set up Liu Xu as the crown prince.
After Emperor Zhao ascended the throne at a young age, Liu Xu saw that Emperor Zhao was young and had no sons, so he coveted the throne. He was not as radical as King Yan, but adopted a more subtle method - sending someone to invite a witch named Li Nusu to go to Wushan to ask the gods to curse. Emperor Zhao really died, and Liu Xu immediately admired Li Nuxu so much that he believed that he could ascend the throne as emperor by relying on the power of the sorcerer. Later, when Huo Guang and his ministers were considering the choice of emperor, they also thought about Liu Xu, but in the end they chose Liu He, the king of Changyi. …… A slippery child is naturally easier to control than the King of Guangling, who is upright and brave.
Now that he has experience before, Liu Xu naturally repeats his old trick this time and continues to make Li Nusu curse. Twenty-seven days later, Liu He was deposed as the Marquis of Haiduan for trying to fight against Huo Guang's party, and Liu Xu was even happier and regarded the witch as a god. Reward her many times. After Emperor Xuan ascended the throne, Liu Xu asked the witch to continue to curse, but unfortunately this time Emperor Xuan Liu had the mandate of heaven and lived year after year, and he never meant to die. Eight years later, he also made his son Liu Zheng the crown prince. At this time, Liu Xu was desperate and said: "It seems that this world is not mine." "Stopped cursing. Later, the curse was revealed, Liu Xu panicked, and killed the witch and more than 20 palace maids. That Li Nusu probably didn't expect that she would end up cursing herself to death. Liu Xu then hanged himself as well. At this moment, witches, witches, and witches who used to participate in state affairs have a tendency to be reduced to private force.
However, folk monks began to come alive...... Although it is difficult to have any influence on the general trend of the world, at least there are many famous people who are very famous. However, the combat effectiveness is only five, and the emphasis is placed on explaining the so-called "weft".
Prophecy, Xu Shen's "Saying Wen Interpreting Words and Words" cloud: "Prophecy, test also." There is a book of verification. The book published by Heluo is called a prophecy. 1 "The Biography of Zhang Heng in the Book of the Eastern Han Dynasty" says: "The words are in the front, and there is a levy in the back, so the wise man is noble, and it is called the book of prophecy." 2 Cihai says: "Prophecy, prophecy, omen, such as prophecy." 3 In short, prophecies are prophecies and metaphors for the future that have a fulfillment, often in the form of destiny and divine will. According to the scientific explanation, the so-called Wei Wei is mainly based on the ancient river map, the myth of Luoshu, the metaphysics of the five elements of yin and yang, and the theory of heaven and man induction of Dong Zhongshu of the Western Han Dynasty as the theoretical basis, which mystifies the accidental phenomena of nature and regards them as the decisive factor for the stability of the dynasty. It adapted to the needs of the feudal superiors at that time, so it was popular for a while, and the study of the weft was a kind of metaphysics that theologized the scriptures in the Han and Han dynasties in China. In fact, it is a combination of "prophecy" and "weft". "Prophecy" is a hidden word and prophecy made up by sorcerers and monks in the Qin and Han dynasties to predict good luck and evil.
"Prophecy" is a kind of secret language, pretending to be a fairy and saint, prejudging good fortune and evil, and telling people about political affairs. As a revelation from heaven, it shows people the good fortune and evil fortune of the future, and the rise and fall of chaos. There are prophecies, pictures and other forms, such as "Hu Ye, the deceased of Qin" is a proverb of the Qin Dynasty. The Book of Prophecies is a book of divination, simply put, a prophecy of God, and of course the priests could not speak the law, mainly prophesying national events and mystical interpretations of scriptures.
As theological prophecies, there is not much difference in substance, but in terms of the order of production, prophecy precedes weft. Proverbs probably originated in the pre-Qin period, and there are some records of proverbs in the "Zuo Chuan". Before the Han Dynasty, there were "proverbs" among the monks in the Yanqi area. The oldest books are "Hetu" and "Luoshu". During the reign of Qin Shi Huang, Fang Shi Lu Sheng went to the sea to seek immortals, and brought back the book "Catalogue", which contains the proverb "Hu Ye, the Dead Qin". The "Records of the Historians" also contains the "Qin Sayings". Han Wei came out later and is generally believed to have appeared in the Western Han Dynasty. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's fourth son, Liu Chang, was arrogant, disobeyed the law, and plotted to rebel, and was later arrested because the matter was exposed. Emperor Wen of Han absolved him of capital crimes, abolished him from the throne, and demoted him to Shuzhong. Liu Chang died of hunger strike on the way. The people sang and said: "One foot of silk, good boy; One liter of millet is full. The two brothers are incompatible. After Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty heard about it, he posthumously crowned Liu Chang as the king of Huainan Li, and asked Liu Chang's son Liu Anyin to attack the title of king of Huainan and build a palace for him. Later, the weft and weft gradually merged.
"Weft" is the weft book, "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" cloud: "Weft, weaving horizontal silk also." "'"Interpretation of the Name and Interpretation of the Classics" cloud: "Weft, Wai also." Repeatedly around to become a scripture also. "Weft" is relative to "Jing", "Synopsis of the Four Libraries of the Whole Book" says: "The prophecy is a hidden word, and the good and evil are predetermined"; "The tributaries of the weft meridian extend to the side meaning". Many people believe that this is a variety of writings attached to the "classics" made by Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty under the guise of ancient sages. After Emperor Wu, he respected Confucianism alone, and the status of scripture was improved, resulting in the weft book that relied on and attached to the scriptures. The weft is matched with the warp, so it is called "warp and weft"; The prophecy is attached to the scriptures, which is called "the scriptures"; There are often pictures of the weft, so they are also called "diagrams", "catalogues", and "diagrams"; With its symbolic experience, it is also called "talisman"; It is a book of the gods, also called the "spiritual chapter".
The content of the weft book sprouted in Fu Sheng's "Shangshu Biography" and Dong Zhongshu's "Spring and Autumn Yin and Yang", but it was only after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the weft book with the name of the scriptures appeared, at that time, "Yi", "Shu", "Poem", "Li", "Music", "Spring and Autumn" Six Classics and "Filial Piety" all have weft books, and the "Seven Wefts" that circulated in the Eastern Han Dynasty have "Yi Wei", "Shu Wei", "Poetry Wei", "Rite Weft", "Le Wei", "Filial Piety Jingwei" and "Spring and Autumn Weft", all of which are attached to Confucian classics by advocating magic and prophecy. "Seven Longitudes and Latitudes" and "Analects", "Hetu", "Luoshu" and so on are collectively called "Zhiwei", a total of 81 articles: "Hetu" 9 articles, "Luoshu" 6 articles, from the Yellow Emperor to King Wen of Zhou, there are also "Hetu" and "Luoshu" 30 articles, from the beginning to Confucius nine "sages" added, there are also "Seven Longitude and Latitude" 36 articles. In addition, there are also books such as "Shangshu Zhonghou", "Luo Sinji", "Five Elements Biography", "Poetry Tui Disaster", "Bianli Shu", "Han Shen Wu", "Filial Piety Sutra Hook Destiny", "Aid God Deed", "Miscellaneous Prophecy" and other books. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and Xi Meng collected fifty miscellaneous articles for "Spring and Autumn Disasters".
The meaning derived from these classics is that the Confucian scholars were influenced by the Hetuluo book, and the interpretation of the Confucian classics by Confucius with theological admiration was intended to promote the rise and fall of the state and the birth of emperors and generals as the arrangements of the Mandate of Heaven. Although it contains some useful astronomy, calendars, geographical knowledge and ancient history and legends, some alchemists use the wisdom of Wei Wei to predict the life and death of people, and the victory or defeat of local wars, which is simply a piece of cake, and sometimes even reaches the point of unbelievable accuracy.
However, the content of the vast majority of Fangshi's interpretation is absurd, and several different interpretations can be made in a casual manner, and one of them can be arbitrarily confirmed to be "correct", and even those five Maoists try to create a basis for changing the dynasty and changing the dynasty. For example, before the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty, some people predicted: the arc of the Qi suit, the actual death of the Zhou State, the Spring and Autumn Period before the fall of the Kingdom of Qiu, someone predicted: the fire into an army, the Duke of Yu Run, before the rise of the Jin State some people predicted: after the fourteenth year, the Jin Dynasty is not prosperous, before the fall of the Wu State there is a prediction: King Wu traveled to view the Taihu Lake, the Warring States Period before the fall of the Zhao State Some people predicted: Zhao Wei, Qin Weixiao, Qin Shi Huang, someone carved words on the stone, a sentence "Hu Ye, the one who died Qin", made the first emperor displeased, and killed Hu people, in order to help Su Mengtian expel the Xiongnu, but Hu Hai seized the world. In addition to the prophecy of the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Hu Ye, there are: A Fang A Fang, the first emperor of the dead, the end of Qin, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang rose up in Daze Township, relying on Wei Wei. Wu Guang pretended to be a fox and shouted "Da Chuxing, King Chen Sheng" in the grass, and stood up. The prophecy of the overlord of Western Chu is. Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu, and there is a prophecy of the Chu people's power: there is a son of heaven in the southeast, and the prophecy of the rise of the Han Dynasty is: Baowen is out, Liu Jijiao, and the prophecy of the demise of the Western Han Dynasty is: The end of the Sanqi Dynasty!
The ancient Chinese were very fond of discussing the lessons and lessons of the successes and failures of governance, starting with the "Book of Shang" and continuing to reach the pinnacle of the "General Guide to Governance". The more precise one is "Zuo Chuan": "The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong." "Rong refers to the army, war, and the court comes out of the barrel of the gun, and everyone understands this truth; Worship refers to sacrifices, and to control everyone's purpose through the sect is to pay close attention to ideology. With these two things, the practice of governance has basically been successful. Therefore, people always like to use these two criteria to judge the gains and losses of a dynasty. For example, the Qin Dynasty is a negative example, they patronize the barrel of the gun, ignore the ideology or they don't care at all, and as a result, "benevolence and righteousness are not applied and the offensive and defensive forces are different", only a few decades later, the infinite country was taken away by others. The lessons of the Qin Dynasty are really profound, so starting from Liu Bang in the Western Han Dynasty, the officials have been more conscious of doing ideological articles. In the Western Han Dynasty, the emperor did not take the initiative to publicize and develop, but because of the characteristics of "foresight" of the weft, everyone likes to use it to predict the direction of the country's governance. Gradually, some folk sages who were good at being emperors' teachers began to talk to the emperor about the emperor. During the time of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, strange phenomena appeared everywhere in the country, such as the dead and fallen trees stood up again and continued to grow, and there were insects eating the leaves and eating five words: "Gongsun is sick and has risen." However, no one knows who this surname Gongsun is. Yu Hong then wrote to Emperor Zhao: "Dong Zhongshu said that being an emperor must also pay attention to the mandate of heaven, and those who do not have the mandate of heaven, even if they inherit the throne, they will not be able to sit steadily." Now there is a miraculous sight everywhere, it seems that there are common people who want to be emperors, and although your position is legitimately inherited, according to the vision, it looks like it is time to hand it over to someone else. It is recommended that you command the world, find a suitable person to replace you, and give him the throne, and you can find a small place to retire, isn't it good? "At that time, Emperor Zhao was young, and it was Huo Quai's half-brother Huo Guang who was in charge of government affairs. The interesting thing about this incident is not that he was killed, but that his motives are unknown—except for Gongsun...... The emperor's great-grandson Liu is ill, who dares to call the emperor to abdicate! As for Huo Guang, the sofa is too short, and in the face of the power of Wei Wei, he doesn't know how to make good use of it, he only knows how to blindly use brute force. Later superiors were much smarter. Aren't you people reporting worries? Let's report the good news.
In the history of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, there were all kinds of folk songs, including the reflection of local customs and folk feelings, as well as the moral judgments made by the people on current events, or the catharsis of accumulated dissatisfaction through the occurrence of certain events. As the "Book of Poetry" says: "People have many words, but they can also be feared." "The lyrics of the ballad are simple, catchy, and widely sung, so they are valued by various regimes. Zhongyun in the Book of the Eastern Han Dynasty: "Emperor He ascended the throne and dispatched envoys, all of whom went to various states and counties to watch and collect rumors. It is said that Emperor Han and Emperor made people listen to folk songs and grasp the people's speeches and intentions. In fact, folk songs are dynastic public opinion and dynastic trends of thought in various periods, and the life reflected from them is quite extensive, constituting a three-dimensional picture scroll reflecting the situation of the Han Dynasty.
And under the hint of generations of Han emperors, auspicious appearances have been reported from all over the country, what phoenix, unicorn, Jiahe...... Everywhere blossomed, a struggle with the people for ideological control began. However, these auspicious Rui are too old-fashioned, the persuasiveness is far less vivid than the Wei Wei, and the ideology alone is not enough, the prophecy of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty is: Yan Fei Lai, pecking the emperor's grandson, when the relatives were in power, Liu Xiang once wrote to Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, saying: "You have your own ancestors, but you give the country to outsiders, you are a slave, even if you don't care about yourself, what will happen to the ancestors in the future?" "It seems that there is some kind of deep bloodline curse, and the Western Han Dynasty is still rotting day by day. At this time, a genius who knew how to use Wei Wei appeared, and he was Wang Mang.
Although Wang Mang is a relative, he was also lonely, and his life experience close to the lower class made him understand the role of Wei Wei very well. On the eve of the usurpation, he was a "fake emperor", and in order to be a real emperor, he used the Wei Wei to create public opinion and began to make talismans. Minister Liu Jing wrote: "There was a little pavilion chief in Qi County, and one night he dreamed several times in a row that a messenger from the Heavenly Emperor said to him: 'The Heavenly Lord asked me to give you a message, and the fake emperor is going to be the real emperor.'" If you don't believe it, there will be a new well in your pavilion the next day. The next day, when the pavilion grew, he saw that there was a new well. Isn't this a clear statement that I want you to be the emperor? "For a time, the prophecy snowflakes from all over the world generally appeared. Confucius said that a gentleman has three fears, fear of the mandate of heaven, fear of the adult, fear of the words of the sage, if I don't ascend the throne again, isn't it against the mandate of heaven? So he usurped the throne in a dignified manner. Wang Mang's prophecy of claiming the emperor is: The emperor should be true, and Wang Mang's usurpation of the throne certainly did not rely only on the proverb, but this trick inspired many people. Wang Mang Tuogu reformed, but the steps were too big, but it was just a precursor for the king.
Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu is the one who is qualified to compete in the world. At that time, the world was in turmoil, Liu Xiu resold grain in Nanyang, and Li Tong lobbied him to raise troops: "The diagram says: Liu's resurrection, and Li's is supplemented." Isn't this supposed to happen to our brothers? Now that the world is in such chaos, whoever has a prophecy will win. As soon as Liu Xiu heard that it was good, he pulled up a team and finally unified the country. In Liu Xiu's proclamation on his ascension to the throne, he also quoted Wei Wei decently: "Liu Xiufa can't be arrested, and Mao Jin Xiude is the Son of Heaven." "卯金" together is the left half of the traditional character "Liu". Such a clumsy and low-level anagram dared to be put into the book to the people of the whole country, which shows how convinced Liu Xiu is of Yu Wei.
Before the rise of the Eastern Han Dynasty, some people predicted: No, in Hebei, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty gathered 28 generals of Yuntai, on the other hand, Liu Xuan, the strongest general of the first generation, was proclaimed emperor after destroying the regime established by Wang Mang. Liu Xuan, who became the emperor, indulged in wine and entrusted political affairs to his father-in-law Zhao Meng. Zhao Meng rejected the heroes, but awarded the official title to those who were flattering villains or treacherous businessmen, forming a party of their own, and some people even obtained the official title because of their good cooking skills and appetite for cooking. As a result, there is a folk song in the market of the capital Chang'an: "Raise under the stove, Zhonglang General; rotten sheep stomach, riding the captain; Rotten sheep's head, Guan Neihou. "After the folk song spread, the soldiers were separated and the people were resentful. Soon, Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han regime,
At that time, Liu Xiu was not the only one who believed in Weiwei, Gongsun Shu was the emperor in Bashu, and he also thought that he was the true son of Fu Rui, and abolished the copper coins of the Han Dynasty and cast iron coins by himself. Because iron money is not trusted by the people, it is difficult for the people to circulate for a while. The people who were full of complaints expressed their dissatisfaction in private: there is a folk song in Bashu that says: "The ox has a white belly, and the five baht should be restored." "Wang Mang is called Huang, and Gongsun Shu wants to imitate Wang Mang, so he calls it Bai; And the five baht was the currency of the Han Dynasty. The folk song implies the people's desire to restore the copper coins, and also alludes to the unpopular regime of Gongsun Shu and is not far from its downfall. Liu Xiu wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender, not to talk about the big truth, but to start with refuting Gongsun's confession, saying that your confession is not effective, and the previous prophecy on the leaves said "Gongsun is sick and self-established", and that Gongsun is not you at all. What I have in my hand is the true Wei Wei of the fake, you can't fight the true destiny, so it's better to surrender quickly. With Liu Xiu's advocacy and the originally good mass base, it didn't take long for Gongsun Shu to be destroyed by the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The wind of the Eastern Han Dynasty spread rapidly, using the diagram to claim the emperor, after gaining power, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict, and the government and personnel also cited the weft. In the first year of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, he officially "announced that the diagram is in the world", which was set as a must-read book for meritorious orders, and "those who speak the Five Classics are all based on the prophecy". For the sake of profit, Confucian scholars all studied the Wei Wei at the same time, calling the "Seven Longitudes and Wefts" "Inner Learning", and the original scriptures were called "Outer Learning". The position of the Prophet is actually above the scriptures. When criticizing the weft, we can only use the weft as a weapon. Like Zhang Heng, who invented the geodynamic instrument, he gave the emperor a fold and said: "This thing is actually quite good, and the saints like Yao Shunyu started by relying on it." However, there are too many counterfeit and shoddy products recently, which seriously disrupts the market order of Weiwei manufacturing. It's important that you take action to combat these three-nos. Subsequently, Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty convened the doctors and Confucian scholars to discuss the similarities and differences of the Five Classics in the White Tiger Temple, see the White Tiger View Conference, and Ban Gu wrote the "White Tiger Tongde Treatise", which blended the Wei Wei with the modern scriptures and the classics, so that the scriptures were further wefted.
Before the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, some people prophesied: Hou Feihou, Wang Feiwang, the ninth emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Han Zhen was only nine years old when he died, and there was no heir, Taiwei Li Gu wanted to establish Liu Garlic, the king of Qinghe, as the emperor, and Liang Ji, a relative general who held real power in his hands, supported Liu Zhi, the Marquis of Liwu, and finally Liu Zhi came to power as Emperor Huan of Han. Soon after Emperor Huan of Han ascended the throne, Li Gu was framed, died in prison, and was violently corpsed on the side of the road, and Hu Guang, the Taiwei who supported Emperor Huan of Han, was named the Marquis of Anle Township, Situ Zhao Jie was named the Marquis of Kitchen Pavilion, and Sikong Yuan Tang was named Marquis of Anguo Pavilion. After the news spread, the people of Kyoto sang, "Straight as a string, on the side of death." Qu is like a hook, anti-feudal. "It expresses indignation at the dictatorship of foreign relatives and sorrow at the decline of the government." Straight as a string, the edge of the dead road; Qu is like a hook, anti-feudal marquis" was also quoted by Sima Qian in the Han Dynasty in his works, which shows that the folk proverb has long attracted the attention of historians. During the Yuanjia period of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, several nomadic ethnic groups in the northwest joined forces to invade the Central Plains, and the Han family sent troops to resist the enemy, but they were repeatedly defeated, so the imperial court had to recruit troops everywhere to defend the border, resulting in a vicious circle of many acres of land that were uncultivated, so as to be deserted and abandoned. The folk song of the world sang: "The wheat is green and the barley is withered, who should be the wife and aunt of the recipient, and the husband is in the west to hit Hu." Officials buy horses, gentlemen have cars, please drum up your throat for you. It profoundly reflects the hardships of people's livelihood under the troubled times. At the end of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo was a former general, his ambition and ferocity are known all over the world, and there is a folk song "Dong Escape Song" in Kyoto: "Cheng Le Shi, Dong Escape!" You Si Guo, Dong escapes! Meng Tian'en, Dong escaped! With Jin Zi, Dong escaped! Thank you, Dong escape! Ride the whole car, Dong escape! Dying, Dong escaped! With the resignation, Dong escaped! Out of the West Gate, Dong escapes! Zhan Palace, Dong escaped! Looking at the capital, Dong escaped! Heartbroken, Dong escaped! The whole song also means one thing: when you see Dong Zhuo coming, run quickly. Sure enough, after the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo led the army into the Beijing Division, killed the eunuchs, abolished the Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty, established the Han Emperor as the emperor, proclaimed himself the Taishi, and grasped the government. After hearing about "Dong Escape Song", Dong Zhuo ordered a ban on singing. Later, seeing that it could not be fundamentally banned, he changed "Dong Fu" to "Dong An" and changed it to a ballad to praise him. But soon, another folk song circulated in the capital: "Qianli grass, He Qingqing." Ten days, no life. This is a ballad that splits the word, "Qianli Cao" is the word Dong, and "Ten Days" is Zhuo. intended to curse Dong Zhuo implicitly. It didn't take long for Dong Zhuo to be killed by Lu Bu.
Cao Pi Dynasty before the Han Dynasty someone prophesied: the ghost is in the mountain, He Nuyun, Liu Bei said that there was a prediction before the emperor: Yizhou has the spirit of the Son of Heaven, Sun Quan said that there was a prophecy before the emperor: open the door of Lu, out of the Son of Heaven, it is really a success. After the Wei and Jin dynasties, the five nonsense Hua, with the decline of Confucianism, the book of the Liu Song Dynasty was also banned by the previous dynasties, before the unification of the Western Jin Dynasty, someone predicted: Qinggai into Luoyang, before the decline of the Western Jin Dynasty, someone predicted: the palace horse was a few donkeys, before the rise of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, someone predicted: five horses floated across the river, a horse turned into a dragon, before the fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, someone predicted: Jin Zuo was prosperous, and someone predicted before the demise of the Southern Liang: but look at the eighty-three, the demon disaster of Zidi, and someone predicted before the demise of Nanchen: When the winter weather ends, the spring breeze begins, Before the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, some people predicted: gold as a broom and jade as a handle, clean the palace to welcome the west house, before the fall of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, someone predicted: the poplar tree head golden rooster crow, in the later period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a mysterious prophecy, predicting that there would be a "man in black" to come to become the Son of Heaven to end the troubled times. The initial prophecy was "the black clothes of the dead high", but as a result, the man in black in the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Gao family and the Northern Qi Dynasty, and later the prophecy became "the black cloth in the sky", and the man in black meant that Buddhism was prevalent, and even the emperor became a monk.
For ordinary people, it doesn't make much difference who is the emperor, or the same harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and what is the practical significance of questioning the legal status of the emperor? Secondly, there are things that are more professional and refined than the myth of the Mandate of Heaven, such as the unity of heaven and man in Confucianism, the end of the five virtues of the Yin and Yang family, etc., as long as there is a need for careerists, don't scholars immediately offer them? Before the fall of the Sui Dynasty, someone predicted: Yang Liu Xie in southern Henan, Li Huarong in Hebei, after the rise of the Tang Dynasty, when Tang Taizong, someone predicted that "after the third Tang Dynasty, the heroine Wu Wang will have the world", Tang Taizong thought it was Li Junxian, and found an excuse to kill him, but history shows that the prophecy said that Wu Zetian. Before the Anshi Rebellion, someone predicted: people meet ghosts under the mountain, and Luo Yi is tied on the ring, and before the fall of the Tang Dynasty, some people predicted: The golden shrimp and toad are fighting for their eyes, which is the death of the country, and there will be signs. After the afterglow of the Tang Dynasty is the five generations of troubled times, Zhu Wen Dynasty before the Tang Dynasty someone predicted: Yi Liang, Yi Liang, Hou Liang before the demise of someone predicted: search for pearls, search for pearls, before the rise of the Southern Tang Dynasty someone predicted: the East China Sea carp flew to the sky, and then after entering the troubled times, the gods and Buddhas could not escape from the world, the origin of the bloodline is no longer mysterious, and it is inconvenient to do anything on the issue of birth. This led to the development of another method, which was to emphasize that the emperor was born with strange astronomical phenomena, hinting at his unusual status. For example, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, was born with a strange fragrance in the house, surrounded by red light outside the house. The sentence "check to be the Son of Heaven" made Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe added, and the Northern Song Dynasty rose. This point, even the minority court has learned, and Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji came to the world with divine light and strange fragrance.
In the Song Dynasty, the power of the traitor Cai Jing and Tong Guan were in power, and there were frequent internal and external troubles, and there were folk songs circulating among the people at that time: "Breaking the so-called Tong and pouring vegetables is the so-called "cover" of the sound of the good world in the world. "In the Song Dynasty, there was also a person who was in the middle of Yuwen, who took refuge in the power of the traitor, ran away in front of the opponent once and was promoted again, from the sacrifice to the bachelor of Hanlin, and then promoted to the scholar of the senior palace. Therefore, there is a folk song in Jingshi that calls it: "One walk is Neihan, then go and become a great capital, and three walks and become a privy." "Walkers, run away. Lu You's "Notes on Lao Xue'an" mentions the changes in the literary style of the Great Song Dynasty, and the good "Zhaoming Anthology", in the hands of those who seek fame and fame, has become a cliché that despises the soul - "When Fang Qixing was in the mood, the scholar said: 'The Anthology is rotten, and the show is half'." "After Jianyan, Su Dongpo and other articles on Su Shu studies have become a means for many people to gain fame," there is also a saying: 'Su Wen is cooked, eat mutton; Su Wensheng, eat vegetable soup'. "Before the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, someone predicted: Ding knew that the Jin Emperor would come as the master, and before the rise of the Southern Song Dynasty, someone predicted: Xinxingdian, and before the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, someone predicted: This will come back, don't play tricks.
Before the demise of Mengyuan, someone predicted: Shiren had eight eyes, instigating the Yellow River to rebel in the world, and before the rise of the Ming Dynasty, someone predicted: Ta'er Hong, Zhu Yiren was the protagonist, and when Zhu Yuanzhang was born, the red light was even more mysterious, because the villagers even thought that the Zhu family was on fire, and they were carrying buckets to prepare to fight the fire. In fact, if you put it in modern times, people who have studied the science of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction know that these astronomical anomalies are often the precursors of earthquakes. Before Ming Chengzu gained power, someone predicted: Mo Chayan, Chayan Sun Flying, Ming Dynasty Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng was powerful and powerful, relying on the power in his hands to seek fame for his son and nephew, the examiner not only did not dare to disobey, but also competed to contribute to his cheating. Zhang Juzheng's eldest son, second son and nephew are either jinshi or on the top list, and "many of the sons and daughters of the powerful have been fortunate to enter, and the branch is stammered and dare not say a word." The officials did not dare to speak, but the common people dared to speak: "The ballad of the Jingshi said: 'If Zhang Gong does not die early, the four officials will be designated as Tanhualang'." In the Ming Dynasty, most of the scenic places next to the West Lake were occupied by the powerful people with bamboo fences to "take advantage of the special Lingqi", and the people of Hangzhou also made up a folk song to ridicule it: "Ten miles of lake light and ten miles of fences, and the fences are all rich families." When his ten years of fame were exhausted, he saw the lake and no fence. "Before the chaos in the Ming Dynasty, someone predicted: Emperor Yu Emperor, the land of the city god, Li Zicheng was the emperor before someone predicted: eighteen sons, the main artifact, before the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Qing Dynasty, someone predicted: when it was smooth, Yongzheng strengthened the centralization of power, someone predicted: the emperor out of the Sanjiangkou, before the fall of the Qing Dynasty, someone predicted: yellow flowers are all over the ground, these wefts now look very rough and simple, and even a little clumsy, at that time, but played a decisive role. Since then, the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, because of the continuous war and the prison of words, only a small number of fragments of the art of the Wei Wei have survived, and the Ming "Ancient Micro Book", the Qing "Seven Latitudes" and other compilations have survived. Obviously, although the scholars have a good market among the people, their future in governance is bleak......"
Dr. Li desperately needed someone to share his findings, so he excitedly called Lao Ma.
In the middle of the night, the poor old policeman got up yawning and said, "Doctor Li, you called me up in the middle of the night to get up at the third watch, just to talk about these things about Chen sesame seeds and rotten grain, and beat you ......up."
Dr. Li hurriedly said: "Not only that, but I found an interesting phenomenon, the appearance of Wei Wei in the Han Dynasty is indeed reasonable. The establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, from the perspective of the entire history, is a major event, but if you say it a little more extremely, the Han Dynasty was a period when the central autocratic system had just been established, and the people's hearts had not been too constrained, so they were relatively straightforward in doing things and speaking. It has inherited nothing from its predecessors in terms of memes: the books were almost burned by Qin Shi Huang, Liu Bang was a scoundrel with a questionable background, and his ministers were basically illiterate, and even Xiao He, who was a bit of a visionary, only paid attention to collecting practical things like military maps when he arrived in Xianyang. As for the building of spiritual civilization, the ministers do not seem to be very concerned. With the meme level of the monarchs and ministers of the Western Han Dynasty at that time, it would be very good to be able to learn and use it and make some wefts.
The content of the dream is similar from the Confucian holy master Confucius, which is nothing more than an immortal giving a pill to eat, or dreaming that the sun falls into his arms, and then he is pregnant with a dragon fetus, in short, it is to express that wealth is forced again and again, and he can't be a holy king or emperor. Dream telling is the most effective way to do this, because the content of the dream is something that no one can refute. In short, the phoenix dragon grandson and the dragon and phoenix are the two flavors of medicinal materials necessary for concocting the myth of the Mandate of Heaven. Of course, not all emperors need to prove that the destiny of heaven returns. Generally speaking, the founding emperor absolutely needs to issue a myth of the Mandate of Heaven, because according to the principle of the five virtues of the Yin and Yang family and the transfer of the Mandate of Heaven, the previous dynasty was also covered by heaven; If you want to change the dynasty, you must first prove that God likes the new and hates the old, and turns to be green to yourself. Therefore, in the legend about Liu Bang, there is also the story of the Red Emperor beheading the White Emperor to show that there are legal procedures for the handover of the Mandate of Heaven. As for those who take over the throne according to the law of succession, there is generally no need for documents or stories, because the identity of the dragon species is already the best proof. Therefore, we see that the births of emperors appear to be varied, some say that they are the sons of dragons, some say that they are the sons of the sun and stars, some say that they are the sons of some unknown gods, and some do not even make up this, but simply say that there is something red and fragrant all over the house. Although the emperors are all sons of heaven, few of these immortals can be close relatives with the emperor. At most, he is just the messenger of the Emperor of Heaven. But in the chaotic times, as long as you have enough strength, you can draw a red circle casually, and it can also be used as an official seal. After the emperor sat down on the dragon chair, a few people who had eaten the courage of a leopard dared to say to the emperor: "Your myth of the Mandate of Heaven seems to be suspicious, I want to ask the royal scientific research department to identify it?" "The emperors felt more and more deeply that there was no need to be very careful in fabricating supporting documents, because no one dared to question them.
But this is actually very paradoxical, according to common sense, the birth of the emperor should have an exclusive meaning. If everyone is a relative of the gods, how can the emperor stand out? The only explanation is that the Mandate of Heaven myth has fulfilled its historical mission of proving the legitimacy of the emperor, and the fabrication of the Mandate of Heaven myth is just an inertial movement. Maybe Lao Tzu said well, "The sharp weapon of the country cannot be shown to people", since it is shown to people, it is obviously not a sharp weapon. Liu Bang paid the price of his father and got the treatment of "divine authority of the king", that is, the legitimacy of the dragon race to rule the world, which is quite exemplary for future generations. It also proves that the initiator has no aftermath. Liu Bang engaged in the god-making movement, and many years later, others persuaded Wang Mang to usurp the Han Dynasty, and his words were unfounded, so he simply made up words, saying that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, ordered Wang Mang to be the real emperor. It can be said that heaven is good.
With the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the influence of the Wei Wei became smaller and smaller. Although the common people often use the weft as a revolutionary program when they rebel, at least the emperor is no longer embarrassed to take out this Dongdong to show off the divine authority of the monarch and the destiny of heaven. There are reasons for the rapid decline of the Wei Dynasty after the Two Han Dynasty. Like the myth of the Mandate of Heaven, they are all to prove the legitimacy of the emperor and solve the problem of whether the emperor is a dragon or not, but they are too crude, and as people's spiritual life becomes more and more refined and rich, these things will inevitably be abandoned. Especially like the celebrities in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, they opened their mouths to be "Xuan", "Wu", "You", these exquisite Huaiyang details, to let them talk about what winter storage cabbage like weft, it is really sadder than killing them. In this way, there must be some idealistic scholars who will never forget the glory of the ancient times, and try to recast the emperor's soul through their own efforts: to recast the emperor's soul for the emperor's teacher.
So I get it! Although the Taiping Dao itself was an armed uprising of the Dan Dao, it was actually a strong Han Confucian color, and Yu Ji, Xiangkai, and Zhang Jiao were all from Confucianism, which means that the Heavenly Providence of the Ram School and the diagram derived from it became the most important theoretical basis of the Taiping Dao. If there is no sympathetic theory of heaven and man of Dong Zhongshu of the Ram faction, there will never be a Taiping Dao of "the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand". In the Taiping Dao and other early Taoist schools that did not get rid of the Han Confucian color, there was an ideal governance model with a strong color of the Ram family, that is, in addition to the Son of Heaven, there was also a sage in the court who served as the teacher of the Son of Heaven to guide the Son of Heaven to walk on the right path of Heaven.
The vicissitudes of the Mandate of Heaven myth tell us several truths. First of all, being an emperor is a winner-takes-all, and the myth of the Mandate of Heaven is at most the icing on the cake. What really determines legitimacy is strength. Even the Confucian tenet is to make some suggestions to the emperor on the premise of recognizing the legitimacy of the emperor. In this model of governance, the "Heaven-Son of Heaven" induction formula created by Dong Zhongshu was revised to "Heaven-Sage-Son of Heaven", which shows that the idea of restricting imperial power by the Ram faction led by Dong Zhongshu was completely bankrupt, and some Confucian scholars began to hope to revoke the legal qualification of Dong Zhongshu and others to inherit the Mandate of Heaven, and tried to establish a new political system in which Confucian scholars inherited the Mandate of Heaven and limited imperial power. It's a pity that although Liu Bang was very useful to those "myths" about himself at the beginning, what really made him feel the power of imperial power was the scene of a bunch of scoundrels worshipping him respectfully after the Confucian uncle Sun Tong formulated the etiquette. Another ironic fact is that after the civil and martial arts of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and other emperors, and the establishment of the centralized system, the dragon of imperial power has completely grown, and it has become an impossible task to put a halter on it. Even though the stories about the divine authority of the emperor are getting rougher and rougher, the scope of avoiding the emperor's name is getting bigger and bigger, the entries are getting more and more refined, and the control of the literary prison is becoming more and more strict. In the eyes of the emperor, as long as the control of words and behavior is in place, it means that the proof of legitimacy is established. Even within Confucianism, most Confucian scholars were distrustful of such plans. In the end, there was a division among the Han Confucians, and the last alienated one chose to merge with Huang Lao, which was the first country of Dandao and the predecessor of Taiping Dao.
And Zhang Daoling's Five Bucket Rice Dao or Zhengyi Alliance Dao is the second country. Obviously, in China, the gods have never been the boss. The emperor said that he was a son of heaven, but he was just looking for a grip, and what they were more accustomed to was to strengthen their supreme authority in daily life by standardizing language and behavior. The prevalent prophecy of the Han Dynasty was a god-making movement in which the whole people participated.
The old horse answered the phone in a daze, listened dazedly, and finally he suddenly woke up: "This is not a joke...... Now that the chaos has been set right, you haven't read the People's Daily? ”
Dr. Li hurriedly said, "I'm not too excited to digress...... The real discovery is in the back...... As it turns out, while most of them are charlatans, there are a few times when divination is able to give harbingers of the future, as long as the caster is smart enough to understand them. This is the origin of the weft. In ancient and modern times, there are many kinds of media available, such as animal offal, tea, divination sticks, etc., and calligraphy is also one of them.
