By the time of the Song Dynasty, there were many countries on the earth, and the quality education of the people in the East and the West was also very different.
At that time, the Western world was still slowly tossing and turning in the long night of the Middle Ages, waiting for the baptism of flames of the Renaissance. The Song Dynasty began to play with the three major inventions of printing, the compass, and gunpowder.
The Song Dynasty existed for more than three hundred years and was considered a long-lived dynasty in ancient China. In addition to the development of productive forces, there are many driving forces for cultural progress, and looking at some things of Song Taizu, we can understand the quality of the People of the Song Dynasty.
Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin had martial arts skills and traveled the world in his youth. The favorite thing to do is not to find flowers and willows, to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but to like to visit the famous mountains and rivers, sleepy and stay in the Taoist temple, temple.
It is said that When Zhao Kuangyin sneaked to Mount Hua, he woke up Chen Zhuo, a sleeping immortal who loved to sleep. The two of them played chess, and zhao Kuangyin lost the pan dragon stick weapon in his hand first, and everyone took Huashan as a bet. As a result, zhao Kuangyin promised Chen Xuan that the Taoists would have inviolable rights in Mount Hua.
It is said that the Taiji Diagram was handed down by him, but at that time, Zhao Kuangyin was not yet the emperor after all, could it be that Chen Zhuo would be so accurate in seeing people and take Mount Hua first?
Chen Zhuomeizi put away Zhao Kuangyin's IOU. He couldn't wait, and immediately instructed Zhao Kuangyin to defect to Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, and later Zhao Kuangyin really achieved great things and established the Song Dynasty.
The above is the result of this legend
Many servings
Some, but Zhao Kuangyin is a real activist, not behind closed doors to read dead books and dream, can immediately decide to fight and dare to fight. He saved Zhou Shizong from danger many times and was unstoppable.
After becoming emperor, Song Taizu did not want to stay in the palace for pleasure, and often paid private visits. Some people persuaded that the emperor was wearing a civilian uniform, and his temperament was extraordinary, which was too dangerous.
Taizu responded: Zhou Shizong was worried that the generals would rebel and dominate, and when he saw the big ears, he would kill them, and then everyone would endanger themselves, lest they live tomorrow. When I was by Zhou Shizong's side, he didn't harm me, isn't this a man-made thing?
After becoming emperor, Zhao Kuangyin did not indulge in pleasure and was always concerned about the sufferings of the people. The clothes he wore himself washed a lot and wore them back and forth. Once, when he saw his little princess wearing clothes decorated with kingfisher feathers, Song Taizu asked her to take them off, and then solemnly said: You must stay in the rich and glorious to clean yourself, cherish your own blessings in the long run.
Once when he retreated back to the palace, Taizu returned to his room depressed for a long time, and the people around him couldn't understand whether they were really anxious. Taizu sighed and said: "All of you always think that being an emperor is very domineering, but in fact, it is really not easy, I am happy to do the wrong thing this morning, I really regret it."
Arriving at the newly built palace, Taizu asked people to open the gates, and he himself sat down on the main hall, and then said: All the doors are open, just like my heart, everyone can see my mistakes, and I will correct them in time.
Before the Spring Festival of this year was over, Taizu received a funny news that a man named Xu Yong took the initiative to ask for a job from an official, and asked him that he was already seventy-five years old. Officials of this age in the DPRK have retired and returned home, and you Xu Yong are
What a mess
yes?
After inquiring again, Taizu found that Xu Yong had originally worked as a county lieutenant, was a big filial piety, and now served his ninety-nine-year-old father, and two brothers in his eighties, and the family burden was indeed heavy.
Taizu summoned Xu Qiong to distribute material rewards, and when he found that Xu Yong was calm and insightful, he assigned him to be the county official of Junling County...
