【Mango Seed】The water is a matter of course, Zheng Guo

[This also needs to be refreshed in the early morning ~ 2023.6.6 "Seventy-two Candidate Explanations of the Lunar Order": "The May Festival is said to be the seed of mang, and the grain can be planted. ”】

When I was very young, I felt that this world was not good.

Famine, war, killing.

The average life expectancy is only 31 years.

Many people did not have a clean bite of wheat rice until they died.

The most devastating thing is the disaster.

The flood hit, and the mountains were full of wailing; drought and locust plague, despair of no harvest;

"Zuo Chuan: The Fifteenth Year of Xuan Gong" once recorded: "The widow made Yuan to report on illness, saying: 'Yiyi Yizi eats, and analyzes the remains to plan'. ”

When people reach famine, they can't be called people, where can they still take care of the courtesy, all morals are degraded, and dogs are not as good.

The bones were exposed in the wilderness, and the land was full of hunger.

What does it take to be human?

Why are we living so hard?

Is there no solution?

I started thinking about this when I was very young.

I don't like complexity.

So it's easy to figure it out.

- Since people will starve to death, it must be that they do not have enough to eat.

- If there is not enough food, there must not be enough land to grow food.

- Since there is little fertile land, it must be that we have not done a good job of irrigation.

And on a sunny afternoon, I read a bamboo slip from the Qin State, on which some sacrificial texts were written in praise of virtue and virtue.

Dayu is the master of the world, and it is the master of water control that has changed sparseness into blockage.

Legend has it that he passed through his home three times and did not return, that he changed the face of the floods in the Yellow River Valley, and that his projects benefited tens of thousands of people.

Tens of thousands of people have been given renewed hope and improvements by the success of flood control.

As I flipped through the scrolls, a man's name came into my eyes.

Li Bing.

Along with his deeds

Li Bing set up a stone water gauge, dug beach hazards, dredged waterways, and built irrigation and shipping projects such as Wenjing River, Baimu River, Luoshui, and Mianshui, as well as repaired rope bridges and opened salt wells.

The Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project built by Li Bing, the Taishou of Shu County, and his son Li Yu made me fascinated.

The hot wind blew in front of me, and the smoky white sky was smoking, and the swaying light and shadow of the slender leaves swayed a river at my bamboo slips, and the knots of the bamboo slips were like a dam.

I haven't been to Qin, but now Dujiangyan in Shu has become a sign calling on me.

I immediately went to my teacher, but he told me that Li Bing had been dead for 20 years.

Qin Zhaoxiang King has been in the past twenty years.

Li Bing changed the irrigation of the entire southwest water system to the plains, benefiting not only tens of thousands of people, but influencing thousands of future generations, and his Dujiangyan exceeded the significance of the times.

I watched my fellow disciples and brothers around me learn from politics, revere their writings, and be willing to expound their own doctrines, running between countries in search of an ideal country and the world.

But I never got involved.

I couldn't listen to what my teacher Xunzi said

In order to persuade students like us who seem to be confused all day long, he also wrote "Persuasion".

To be honest, I didn't listen at all.

I don't understand politics, I don't understand the princes, and I don't belong to any doctrine.

I was like the kind of student in a class who was not in the middle of the class.

At one point, my brothers thought that I was not yet enlightened, so they wanted to teach me to be a companion with them.

Maybe in modern terms, I may be like a silly white sweet, but the brothers who take care of me are all Xunzi's protégés and famous figures in history.

My three senior brothers who have a good relationship, one is called Han Fei, one is called Li Si, and the other is called Zhang Cang.

It is no exaggeration to say that they have shaped an era, even the future.

Senior brother Han Fei, he is from South Korea like me. Maybe it's because I'm a fellow countryman, but he naturally thinks that I want to go back to Korea with him in the future, so he takes care of me very much.

I like Han Fei for a very simple reason, he is so good-looking, and he is a nobleman of our Korean royal family, and the nobles want me to be their friend, so I am naturally very happy.

He said that I looked easy to be deceived, and taught me not to stay with that senior brother named "Li Si" for a long time.

It was in Li Bing's eyes that I saw a paradise that I wanted to achieve.

But I've always felt like I'm a pretty lucky person.

Because I found the cause that I want to fight for all my life.

Due to its deep inland and far distance from the sea, Northwest China has become an arid region with the least annual precipitation in China

"Therefore, if you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. ”;“ If you don't climb the mountains, you don't know the height of the sky; Not near the deep stream, I don't know the thickness of the ground. ”

Yu was the first to open the precedent of irrigation in Jingjing, which had a far-reaching impact on the irrigation of Jingjing in later generations.
