I have read such a yuan song, Zhang Kejiu's "Selling Flowers? Huaigu": The beauty killed himself on the bank of the Wu River, the war once burned Chibi Mountain, and the general was empty and old. Sad Qin Han, the people were ruined, and the readers sighed a long time.
The history of the late Qin and Chu Han dynasties is really very sad.
In the throes of the alternation of the old and the new era, at this thorny turn in history, the ancient heroes and pioneers groped the way forward in the dark, and through their unremitting attempts and efforts, they finally found a fairly smooth path for history. However, in the process, countless people have paid a very high price for it, and this price is so tragic that even the last successful people and the people who have survived the disaster have no joy of victory, facing the rivers and mountains full of devastation, facing the ruined homeland, facing the increasingly powerful nomads in the north, they are full of heavy hearts, they can't bear to be sad, they cry and bury the bodies of their comrades and opponents, sing and sing the wind, and the strong men of the world are in tears in this tragic atmosphere.
Let's also look at:
In just fifteen years from 210 BC to 195 BC, the Chinese nation has successively experienced several military massacres and destructions such as the tyranny of the late Qin Dynasty, the people's uprising, the Chu-Han civil war, the invasion of the Xiongnu, and the rebellion of the kings with different surnames, so that the Chu Song has lost its voice, the rivers and mountains have lost their color, the heroes have dried up in tears, and the people have run out of blood. At that time, xianyang, the largest capital in the world, was slaughtered and burned by the combined forces of the princes, and the fire was not extinguished in March; the second capital, Handan, was razed to the ground by the Qin army; the third largest capital, Yingchuan, as well as the small and medium-sized cities such as Wuguan, Liuyi, and Chengfu, were also slaughtered by the Han army; other Xiangcheng, Chengyang, and Sanqi Chengguo were also mostly destroyed by the Chu army; and then increased the natural disaster and famine, resulting in soaring prices and inflation, and the rice in the market was as expensive as ten thousand dollars, and the horse was as expensive as one hundred gold, and even the Emperor of the Han Dynasty could not make four horses of the same color as horses to ride. The prime minister can only take an ox cart when he goes out, the people are even more cannibalistic, hungry and dead, the husband is in the army, the old and weak turn to food, human life is like ants, white bones are used for firewood, and the whole world is like hell.
According to incomplete statistics, there were still more than 20 million people in the world at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and by the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there were only two or three thousand households left in the original 10,000 households, eliminating 70% of the original population, and almost to the extinction of the dead tribes!
During the Warring States period, a small Zhao state could block the iron horse of the Xiongnu. At the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, MengTian's 300,000 Qin army could also make the Xiongnu far away from the desert and dare not go south and herd horses. In the early Han Dynasty, Gaozu Liu Bang used the strength of the whole country to attack the Xiongnu, and there was a defeat of Bai Deng, which was not only a shame of the Han Dynasty, but also a shame of China, and a thousand-year-old national shame!
Thinking of the heavens and the earth, alone but weeping, so a thousand years later, Xiaosheng and Zhang Kejiuling communicated with each other, and the readers sighed together, sighed a heroic song, and sighed a sad Chuhan.
Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, spared no effort for his great empire, and read the chapters every day, as many as one hundred and twenty pounds of bamboo, and the reading could not reach this quota, could not complete the prescribed workload, and never rested. However, the Qin Emperor was tired, but unfortunately his steps were too fast, he built the Great Wall, built straight roads, cut down the Xiongnu, and conquered Baiyue, which made the people miserable, so they revolted one after another, so that Great Qin II died, and he also ended up with a sad ending of exhausting sand dunes and rotting corpses.
Chen Sheng, the son of Hu Li, Wu Guang, rarely had the ambition of a great bird and dared to be the first in the world, so he was clothed with a strong and sharp edge, and he started with eight hundred pawns to start the difficulty, cut down the road, and cursed Qin, but unfortunately the successor was weak, and his rise and fall were also sudden, so that the people rebelled and left, and they were killed at the hands of the generals. They paved the way for the new era with the tragedy of their lives, and at the same time, they also realized with full of enthusiasm the political declaration that "the prince will look like a prince, rather have a kind of hu", which is full of danger and temptation. Grassroots aristocracy, it is from this beginning.
Zhang Handan, the Shaofu of Great Qin, as a civilian official, stepped forward at the time of the turmoil of the empire, provoked heavy responsibilities, led 700,000 Lishan servants to sweep the world, killed the king and destroyed the country, threatened the princes, and almost turned the tide of the tide, but finally was framed by the traitor Zhao Gao, forced to surrender to Xiang Yu, spurned by the Qin people, so that the hero was short of breath, and the soldiers committed suicide.
After the six kingdoms of Xiang Yu, Wei Bao, Wei Bao, Zhao Xie, Han Cheng, Tian Rong, Tian Heng, and Qi Xin, they took advantage of the situation and aimed to restore the homeland, but the homeland was difficult to rise, the world was unified, and they were doomed to be unable to stop the wheels of the new era rolling, and eventually they were either destroyed by Qin, or destroyed by Chu, or destroyed by Han, and the country was destroyed by death and abandoned by history.
In addition, there are grassroots heroes such as Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu, and Zang Di, whose people, although they are old and lowly, have swept thousands of miles, and the south is called lonely, and it is heard that the blood is riding the victory day. In the end, he was also tortured, or killed for cooking, or imprisoned, and became a victim of the political altar.
In addition, there is Han Gaozu Liu Bang, who won the world with the three-foot sword of Cloth Yi, weijia hai nei's solipsism, it seems that the scenery is infinite and thick and black, in fact, he is scarred by the conquest of half a life, the secret pain and entanglement in his heart, his loneliness, helplessness and sadness as an emperor, and several people can really understand.
In fact, the Great Han Dynasty that Liu Bang had painstakingly and painstakingly built was only an ashes empire with a population of only five or six million, less than the population of a third-tier city today. In the whole land of China, there are often no people for hundreds of miles, the towns are withered, the farmland is barren, and the livestock are even rarer, and even the beggars can only take an ox cart. Therefore, the Han government has always encouraged women to remarry in order to reproduce the population.
Even the empress of the Han Jing Emperor was married twice.
During the Warring States period, a small Zhao state could block the iron horse of the Xiongnu. At the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, MengTian's 300,000 Qin army could also make the Xiongnu far away from the desert and dare not go south and herd horses. In the early Han Dynasty, Gaozu Liu Bang attacked the Xiongnu with the strength of the whole country, and there was a defeat of Bai Deng, and since then, the northern part of China has been in flames, and several times Huma has driven to Chang'an City, which is really a thousand-year-old national shame!
The century-old country after 1840 is hard to count. Look at the fifteen years of the late Qin and Chu Han Dynasties, the Chinese nation simply grew up soaking in bitter water. Cherish the peaceful time now!
