In the process of reading the historical records before the Tang Dynasty, I can often encounter records that surprise me, and at some times, the actions of the ancients show vivid humanity, which makes me smile and realize that no matter how talented the ancients are or how talented they are, or how talented they are, high-powered, and sophisticated, they are also flesh and blood, eat grains and grains like today's people, and like me, they are members of the Big Family of China, but the ancients came to the earth earlier than me. Example:
First, hit your uncle with a heavy ear.
When Jin Wengong Zhong'er went into exile in the State of Qi, Duke Huan of Qi saw the hero and married a beautiful woman in the Qi State Sect to a heavy ear beauty, as the saying goes, "Beauty is the hero's tomb", over time, Jin Wengong indulged in the comfortable life of the State of Qi, and no longer had the fighting spirit to return to the Jin State to compete for the throne. At this time, the fox, a close confidant of the exile with heavy ears, was anxious, abandoning his family and running away with heavy ears, what is the picture? After the ascension to the throne, don't you want to eat and drink spicy? If the heavy ear is to stay in the country of Qi, then the bitterness that was eaten before is not in vain? No way! So after consulting with the relevant personnel, Fox Yan drunk the heavy ears with wine, and then brought the heavy ears out of the Chu country that were in the midst of a hangover. After waking up, he found that after thirty years of hard work, he had returned to the pre-liberation period overnight, and if Hua Mei was gone, he had to run around again, and he did not have a polite manner with the fox, and chased the fox with Ge for four streets. At this time, the heavy ear is basically a clumsy disciple, and the fox is a heavy ear uncle, and the impatient heavy ear does not care about the demeanor of his own prince, nor does he care that the fox is his own uncle's relationship. Although Jin Wengong is old and calculating, Wen Tao is strategic, but the Great Wall was not built in a day, Jin Wengong is also a person, and like young people now, he also has the problem of impulsiveness and willfulness when he is young, and he is satisfied with the status quo.
Second, the young girl Chun Yu Ti rescued her father, interpreting the Western Han Dynasty", "who said that women are inferior to men".
During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, the Linzi people of Shandong had a famous doctor named Chun Yuyi, who had five daughters, and the youngest daughter of the grade was called Chun Yu Ti, who was thirteen years old. In the thirteenth year of Emperor Wen of Han (167 BC), Chun Yuyi was sentenced to corporal punishment for accepting people and was to be escorted to Chang'an by a prison cart for execution, and the five daughters of Chun Yuyi's family did not have black heart cotton, and five golden flowers surrounded the pear blossoms that cried around the prison cart with rain, which made Chun Yuyi very entangled, and looked up at the sky and sighed: "Because there is no son, so at this critical moment, there is not even a person who gives me advice." "In the Western Han Dynasty, the people were fierce, the boys were still angry, and the daughter's family was the same, Chun Yu Ti Qian stopped crying when he heard it, and thought in his heart: Lao Dou said that our five sisters could not give him ideas, and I wanted to fight for this breath, so Chun Yu Ti Qian also followed him to Chang'an. After arriving in Chang'an, the 13-year-old Chun Yu Ti wrote to Emperor Wen of Han: 1. My old bean was wronged; 2, even if my old bean was guilty, once he was tortured, his body defects were not conducive to rehabilitation; 3, if the imperial court thought that my old bean was guilty, I would rather be a slave in the official palace to atone for my father's sins. When Emperor Wen of Han learned about it, he was very touched and pardoned Chun Yuyi. I was also very touched to see this record, for two reasons: 1, Chun Yu Ti Qian literacy, this is a very bad thing, because although the Western Han Dynasty can produce relatively rough paper, but the paper was applied on a large scale to the Western Jin Dynasty, you can imagine how much cost it takes to train a literate person, here for the excellent old bean representative Chun Yuyi praise. 2. Commoners can directly write to the supreme ruler of the Western Han Dynasty. The implementation of the people-oriented thinking of the Orthodox Chinese Dynasty is very well in place, which is incomprehensible to the nomadic chiefs who have entered the Central Plains.
Third, Cao Pi learned to mourn his best friend, and the dignity of the son of the world is difficult to compare with the friendship of confidant
Wang Cang, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, is a close friend of Cao Pi and likes him to listen to donkeys. Twenty-two years after Jian'an, Wang Cang died young due to the plague, Cao Pi was grief-stricken, at that time Buddhism was not introduced to China, Taoism was weakened due to the Yellow Turban Army uprising, the theory was not as perfect as later generations, after death, where the soul returned, the Eastern Han Dynasty Wei Jinshi people had no choice, so they attached great importance to the friendship between people, advocating spontaneous nature, not pretentious. Therefore, although Cao Pi was the son of the Wei kingdom, it was understandable that under the grief, he and his entourage learned to mourn Wang Yue.
There are still many eye-catching records, but after the Tang Dynasty, similar records of shining human brilliance are gone, some are just the number of power tricks and a serious book, and the history books after the Tang Dynasty are like records of flowing accounts, and the characters in it, whether they are literati or princes, are a serious, weiguangzheng image, giving people a sense of rigidity and anxiety. The internal reason is that I think it is like the children cultivated by families with solid families and loving parents, while the children cultivated by families whose parents often quarrel and live in distress are usually cautious in words and deeds. Zooming in to China before the Tang Dynasty, although faced with the plunder of nomadic peoples, the gap between the nomadic people and the Chinese people was too large, and the people of the Central Plains had a psychological advantage over the surrounding ethnic groups, and they did not have to worry about the disaster of subjugation of the country and extinction, did not have to bear the shame of being conquered by the nomadic peoples, and did not have to worry about the taboo of the nomadic people who were dependent on the Central Plains regime. After the Tang Dynasty, the Orthodox Dynasty of Huaxia first died in Jurchen, and then the whole died in Mongolia, and the Ming Dynasty resisted the Mongol tribes that were plundered by the Guanguan, while struggling to restore civilization, and later died as a whole to the Tunguska people. The history after the Tang Dynasty, for most of the time, is a history of the misery of the descendants of Yan Huang, the Chinese nation has the shame of dying of the nomads, and in the face of the current situation that the nomadic people's thieves are not dead and may make a comeback at any time, they are no longer as confident as the Chinese before the Tang, so it is difficult to see the vivid humanity in the history books after the Tang Dynasty.
