Prominent origins, hidden thoughts

Who is the author of the zhouyi?Tradition says: fu xi wrote gossip, king wen of zhou the gossip of two overlapping, developed the sixty-four hexagrams, this completes the zhouyi of theThe I ching"Part;Later to Confucius "the book of changes" writing tutoring materials, wrote a total of ten, this is the "yi", also known as the "ten wing"."Book of changes" and "yi together constitute a complete the zhouyi.

So a zhouyi is through three times three saints creation, this is the so-called "three more holy, through three ancient".In this way, all of the classic no earlier than the zhouyi, birth is more prominent.

However, we must understand a common sense: when all the fu, three sovereigns of what, not much is reliable, as long as no solid archaeological evidence, any ancient times did you don't have to take it seriously;Although king wen of zhou late many times, can actually also is same.So, although said that "three more SAN", like "kunlun three SAN dao", is just one person.The only reliable, is the "trinity" of the final st -- -- Confucius.

Let's just let's start from the part of the most reliable.

Confucius, the study of yi jing is deep, the evaluation of it is also high.In "the analects" of Confucius once said: "add me for several years, 50 to learn easily, can be no greater than yi."There are mainly two explanations, this sentence is a said: "I have to live more years, at the age of fifty to learn the book, will not make any mistake."Another explanation is: "let me live more years, spent five years, ten years of effort to learn from the book, won't make any mistake."

Who let the Confucius era without punctuation, so, the two explanations universal sense.

No matter which explain get, this passage can tell some important information.First: do not from Confucius, yi jing, or he will learn how to himself, although fuxi and king wen of zhou's story is not very reliable, but only made a "yi" Confucius really like;The second: the book is very difficult to learn, Confucian learning in the university can learn other, only the yi jing, a doctoral student, I'm afraid can't easily to touch, it is simply a goldbach conjecture;Third: "I ching" is god, although difficult, but once you really learned it, you can use it to guide life, avoid to make mistakes.(could not jeopardized, killed ChengXiang don't know.)

The era of Confucius is a troubled times, although followed the warring states period is enough, but Confucius already mess at the moment.Confucius sad to look on the side of the world, to feel more don't understand: why are there so many courtiers kill monarch, son killed dad?Daily newspapers don't watch carefully, only look at the front page headline, feelThe end of the worldIs going to happen.Confucius to see in the eye, pain in my heart, he loudly: "we the zhou dynasty is a formal state, formal state is one of the most exquisite ranking, each class to keep their duty as well, can't fooling around!"

To make the world from chaos to cure, it is no easy job, if you are a Confucius, do you want to improve the spring and autumn period and the troubled times, you will be where to start with?

Well, be sure to find at first, start from the root.

So, where is the root and?

- more than two thousand years later, when his on this issue, he said, quoting the Confucius in the "easy classical Chinese" a phrase:

I shoot the gentleman, killing his father, the son not happen overnight, it by the newcomers, gradually by the debate also arguing is not early."Yi" yue: "shoe cream, ice to" cover suitable also.

Confucius's mean: detained kill monarch, son killed father, this is in Rome is not build in one day.Yi jing said: "go on to the frost, portends a cold day is not far away."

Say so, don't wait for cold again go find icebreaker clean up the waterway, best just frost on the ground to prepare early, when I was an extreme example, don't wait for world war Hitler launched to declare war against each other with him, if after the first world war at the beginning of reconstruction work in Germany, if France and its European Allies in at that time, the eu has a clear concept, that might not have the later world war ii.

Confucius decided to start from the root, hu shi said: "all the fundamental of Confucianism, in my opinion, all in a book."

- Dr Hu, this let a person is not easy to understand at once.Actually Confucius to grasp the fundamental mainly to clear hierarchy of the early years of the zhou dynasty, to be the boss to be the boss, as employees dependable as employees, employees don't want to turn over when the boss, don't also want to take charge of masters of workers and peasants, the outlook on life and world view to national unity, transforming social traditions from top to bottom.Hu shi believes that all the content contains in the "yi".

To guo moruo don't think there really Confucius, "yi" is to say, in front of hu shi thought to be the master said that words (and all previous dynasties basic generally accepted is Confucius said) is not the master said, he said that the "copulative" of what is likely to be disciples of Confucius.But after years, guo moruo and put their claims to overthrow the (overthrow YuanLun doesn't means the public opinion to hu shi and all previous dynasties), the reason is that the emergence of new evidence makes the words in the analects of Confucius "add me for several years, 50 to learn" yi ", can be no greater than "became unreliable.

You know, all the pre-qin literature explicitly mentioned in the Confucius and the intimate relationships of zhouyi only so, if the words out of the question, that's a big problem.

Where is the problem?Originally, the word "yi" in this sentence should be "or" actually, the comma should also point in the front of the word "also", this became: "add me for several years, 50 to learn, also can be no greater than yi."See, it becomes and the "book of changes" has nothing to do.

Guo moruo then there was a demonstration, and finally a summary of the two, first: Confucius and zhouyi and there is no relationship;Second, in the era of Confucius "the book of changes" has not yet been forming.

This view seems to be too bold some?Even Confucius has nothing to do with the zhouyi, the "book of changes" hexagrams so simple text, is also the Confucius of language in the future?

I've described in the front of the hexagrams in the word "if" and "like", there are some obvious characteristics, some special from writing style analysis, thought the "book of changes" hexagrams very old indeed.

Oh, if really old, it is earlier than Confucius;If later than Confucius, that is not very old.Who is right?

- may be all right.

This isn't a muddle, because the hexagrams, although there are many words may be very old, but there are not too old, so, the book is not like the "x", more like the "so-and-so compiled", that is to say, this book is what person, may be later than Confucius, put a lot of new and old the hexagrams are collected, and organization to organization, then edit to edit, then edit edit, copy paste of kung fu, and finally completed the "book of changes".

So, the contributors can find?

Guo moruo said he detected the, this man is ð « ˜ › arm

ð « ˜ › arm son bows, this name is very ancientBut he is neither Japanese nor compound surname.His name is "ð « ˜ ›" (read "thousand", the word also read "han"), "arm", word"

Call him in hanshu ð « ˜ › arm son bows, call him in shiji ð « ˜ › arm son hong, guo moruo considered ", "" gong" a slip of the pen, surnamed "ð « ˜ ›", "arm", word "zi gong", the meaning of the name and the word is echo, thisEveryone should remember to guo jing Yang guo's name, last name is Yang, name, word to correct them, "a" and "change" is the meaning of the echo, said "to change".But I always suspected guo jing the redneck out such a level of name.

Traditionally, zhouyi after learning from Confucius to complete the "yi" is passed down from one generation to another, a says ð « ˜ › bow arm son is jiaziyu, has said that he was the firstBut guo moruo said, ð « ˜ › arm bow is neither jiaziyu, nor the fourth generation successor, "the book of changes" part of the zhouyi was written by this boy, he is true first

How strange, founder of descendants fall into?

It is not hard to understand.Like me to promote a cure-all that new drug, if honesty is introduced: "this medicine is our Inner Mongolia so-and-so flag clinic doctor carefully developed", you can listen would eyebrows a wrinkly: "oh, doctor Mongolia?!"

I was changed to good, I would say the medicine of the developer is Edward lee's patent, medical center in New York and the Edward lee is an ethnic Chinese scientist, his grandpa is li shizhen, he is my grandfather sun simiao.

- ð « ˜ › bow arm son has just so so, even though he really is Confucius againFrom another perspective, the graduate student's achievement finally became a mentor, this is also a lot of people can understand?

The next question is: if the yi jing and the disciple of Confucius is the creator of the ð « ˜ › arm son bows, the author of the connotations, hole is impossible anyway

Guo moruo's opinion is: "yi" is given priority to with the southern chu scholars, the author of mostly students in xunzi."Yi" is not "Confucius said," there are so many?Shi had not also cited "copulative" Confucius?Guo moruo said: this is "yi", the author in order to camouflage, in fact, "Confucius said," don't must be "Confucius said"?Not certain, is probably not the "yue" is "xun zi yue".

Xunzi is the last of the pre-qin period a master of Confucianism, his wide, deep thinking is extremely strong, also teach Reese and han fei and the two is not very famous Confucian students.

Is conduct and xunzi is the later development of chu in the far south, the boss is one of the "warring states four childe" spring shen jun (hereinafter referred to as "shen", Shanghai is from the spring shen jun here).Xun zi missed a good time, his age is the qin destroy at the height of the six countries, and is likely to be still alive after the qin dynasty unified the world.

Xunzi if yao was, although, ancestors Confucius though unable to exert political ideal all his life, but somehow can also to travel, to give lectures, spread their ideas and theories, the general also can monarch by the governments of courtesy;Confucius's construction, xia kosi lectures, made the marquess wen of wei teacher, reputation is very long;Zengzi when lu LuMiao male can take him when dad when mom served, but somebody else zengzi's pick principle;Mencius was also, in an open circuit can help graduate students together with a big, mighty a team, go to where to eat, a whole group of locusts is the most hateful, he took the Welch's salary is not satisfied, the rest of my life around, is to promote their own political ideal.Alas, alas, alas, but here on the xunzi, so-called suffering predecessors have become sweeter than honey - for a thinker, nothing could be better than living in the authoritarian era more unfortunate.Xunzi sad and looked around, the nation suddenly becomes only a qin thought, people's people at least on the surface has achieved a high degree of unity in thought, unity ahead, and in order to maintain the authority of qin shi huang thought, absoluteness and uniqueness, began to appear of the secret police.

Chinese people all know that "burying Confucian", "burning books" destroy the freedom of the press, eliminated - Confucianism "pit"

For qin shi huang to be fair, in fact, "Confucianism" the pit is not like a lot of people think is abusing the Confucian intellectuals, is in the process of intellectuals in the country have such effect of brutal massacre.Confucianism "pit" pit "Confucianism" is not the Confucian characters, which are some of the alchemist, also is the kind of person, diablo iii and qin shi huang is specific to this batch of god to stick to the "pit", not to increase the breadth or destroy all reactionary intellectuals intent.

So, while "burying Confucian" is always together, but very different nature, "burning books" is a national political behavior, aimed at brainwashing, the "pit of Confucianism" is a small range of specific actions brought down a godlike as the main component of the reactionary gang.

Need to stabilize the world unify, the qin empire.Let you to the east for ordinary people, countries, you don't want to west;Countries allow you to play the dog, don't you go to scold chicken.Every people not have independent thoughts of individual, but the qin empire state machine in a small parts.

For parts, it is better to work more than reading, hands and feet is frequently, the brain is a lazy, this is the good parts, a good citizen.

After the book-burning, a good citizen is only three kinds of book to see: books, books, SuanMingShu, plant trees.

You first think of the southern song dynasty big hero, big words xin qiji has a word, there is very famous in the word is: "and the word - Dijon, in exchange for owner book to plant trees."Here is a good book "plant trees" is a rhetoric, if you don't know it otherwise provenance, literally, can correct understanding of the author's meaning, but if you know the book "" plant trees may be because of the hidden meaning, then you can realize the xin qiji was more angry mood.

Just living in this era of xun zi won't better than xin qiji in anger?

The scholar xun door, the intellectuals with the pain of national subjugation of chu, aren't more anger than xin qiji?

In the early weeks and complete part, called male can tell a big noble "against the people, than FangChuan" such words of wisdom, but in fact, such people people's thought and speech is not necessarily can't rein, just technical difficulty is bigger, and need to rulers of great power.

In the zhou dynasty, the political system is main or feudal system, feudal system of aristocratic democracy and nobility oligarchic autocracy, the king of the country do not have absolute power, even when nobles are not satisfied with the monarch king can be combined to drive away, get rid of nominal owner of the "French riots" belong to this nature.So, for general rulers at that time, "the mouth of the people" do "than FangChuan".

Can history entered the qin dynasty, the feudal system is transformed into authoritarian system, governors autonomy has become a centralised, began to have the supreme imperial power, so "the mouth of the people" is correspondingly with the technical feasibility.

As a result, the qin government to muzzle published writings weight method, is more severe, also don't whisper, don't know if you have like gather together to chat, if any, in the qin dynasty, the habit will harm you off head.

These policies for ordinary people to pour a nothing important also, anywayHave a mealSleep bai, even if reading can't read it, but for intellectuals, it's like a block seduce the lotus of pan gold and west door celebrate to endure which I can endure!

Well, not endure, what could they do?

Someone may say, "well, the difficulties are not accounted for, calculate a hexagram yao, now also do bai."

To the spiritThe tortoiseAgain, god yarrow, also cannot resist the autocratic imperial power.So, only one way.

Remember I described in the "mencius said he" was popular in the qing dynasty intellectuals when all comes to?Master will also be able to take even in such a boring work to find opportunities to spread ideas, quietly subverting the mainstream values.

Under the qin empire despotic scholars, can not have three kinds of book circulation, well, this SuanMingShu some stick, let's study fortune-telling.

- this is a very logical explanation.Guo moruo is given a lot of evidence that intellectuals especially xun chu door put effort into into the interpretation of the yi jing, through the explanation of the hexagrams, exposition of those who are not able to be fair and square in the qin empire express political thoughts and philosophy, "yi" are formed in this way.

We generally familiar ideas of zhouyi, such as the evolution of the interaction of Yin and Yang, things change, and so on, are the ideas of the "yi".Guo moruo considered, "yi" this is clearly in view of the qin shi huang, is in the betting and the qin empire.

Qin shi huang called their "first emperor", his sons "ii", "iii" has been called down, so until "out".Can be "easy" to convey ideas is: nothing is forever, anode Yin, cathode raw Yang, after the cold heat, after the heat and cold.Xun door scholars singing: "the sun will also climb the Ming dynasty, the flowers withered would like to open next year."

If you are in charge of the qin empire propaganda work, you might have and trick or treat these molecules to the song: "my youth to the disappeared, my youth birds to come back, ha ha, the development of the world is linear, what reincarnation!"

Xun scholars would answer: "your youth birds to come back, because it fly to your son there.So the world is still a cycle of change, the process of history is not linear."

And, of course, the qin empire will not give the opportunity to sing dissidents, but the somebody else will steal sing in "yi", which thought hidden meaning is: don't think you can the qin empire was really the century ten thousand generation unify river's lake, hey, the tables have turned and also don't know who will get the next year.Don't think you really can not shake a Jesus Christ, the qin empire the world the truth is: zoology, boom-bust, everything always constantly change.

In another eastern world more than two thousand years ago, the Buddha said: "things are successful and live, the bad, will consume, life is life, aging, illness, and death.The aggregation of all that is karma, fatuous false."- also in the interpretation of the way of change, the key is in the outlook on life.

In more than two thousand years ago in the western world, Hera Crete said: "people cannot step twice into the same river."- also in the interpretation of the way of change, the key is in the world.

And "yi" to interpret the way of change, the key lies in the political thought.

Now we come back to see the original question: are the zhouyi really the idea of possession against dictatorship?The men of the year how can have such avant-garde ideas?Dictatorship has been a history of traditional Chinese?

Now think of, from the originality on the hexagram, nine hexagram and relationship with nine hexagram, think with nine hexagram "leaderless, ji", of cha ages developed to think about why the hexagram can perches high that is generally considered to be the symbol of emperor zhou hexagram, and is "ji", rather like the nine hexagram zoology type "regret"?

Have above the ground, at that time, if let me speculate on this question, I will produce some new questions: why only qian and kun hexagrams in the sixty-four hexagrams have "nine", of cha ages developed to other sticks but all have no?Moreover, there is a "nine" cha ages developed to resign without a hexagram, qian also like all divination is composed of six hexagram ah, to the hexagram 6 "on nine hexagram" is an end, not a hexagram 7 ah?Again, from the originality of six hexagram of cha ages developed to "hidden dragon don't use" to "KangLongYou regrets", expressed a full development cycle, to clarify things from initiation to development, to the heyday, end too much of a process, a complete one, do not need to add a "nine"?

My these questions of "nine" countless predecessors studied earlier, but it's not a very convincing conclusion.Of course, I have more enough to convince the speculation, in the case of no new evidence emerged, this can only be a headless case-solving pile.I of this pile headless case-solving theory is: "nine" I'm afraid not yi jing originally, but by xun door scholars to tamper with.

Tell from the human nature, "decapitated" fully express the survival of the past or the young diehard nostalgia for the old system.Yes, it is the end of the feudal society, it is the end of the aristocratic democracy, in addition to the emperor no one have any guaranteed the right to speak about a state, packet feudal lords became a county, governors divided into centralized, a national restriction principalities, fit size for rowdiness era ended completely.

You used to have long referred to as a feudal society in ancient China, it is actually a misunderstanding, from qin feudal for counties, China has entered the authoritarian and totalitarian society, and the feudal aristocracy democratic legacy was replaced by the emperor autocratic authoritarian society.(about this specific analysis are in the book, "he said of mencius" first who want to go there are interested can find.)

Don't take it too seriously, I this is just a conjecture, in addition to inadequate evidence, based on which the human nature and the norm.In terms of the latter, historically, as long as the system and the external environment is the same or similar, so basically, no matter what people put into, they will make the same performance.

For example, all say we Chinese farmers is the bear hardships and stand hard work, work hard, is there is a typical eastern virtue diligently, but you will see, once the system and the external environment changed, well, during the period of the pot, for example, farmers can no longer bear hardships and stand hard work, no longer work hard.We look to fly forward, again to fly, the system actually that Owen would have made the pilot, Lenin was a pilot, are all the same.Look, different time, different countries, different RACES, as long as the system and the external environment, the result is the same.

So, don't think that the regional nature and how important is true, you know, the theory of nature are the same, only the most important, it is based on to consider the problem, system design and the external environment is the most important thing.Look at the above example, pot period after the idlers in the contract system implement, went back to have bear hardships and stand hard work of the traditional virtues of Chinese farmers.This is a nationwide event, too persuasive.

It is not just my personal experience, I have been think so, later found out that there are a lot of people to recognize the rule of the early, said guo moruo in the reactionaries made public opinion communism is not suitable for the situation of China, wrote: "as long as it is a human, his development, red, yellow, black and white, whether it is generally the same.Composed of people of society as well.The Chinese have a phrase, 'our different national conditions.This kind of ethnic prejudice almost every nation has.Chinese people are not gods, however, is not a monkey, what is the difference of the Chinese society should not be."

- this view from the mouth of a historian however!

Actually went to look around, this logic also can be used in many places, for example, you can see a city bus ticket is very severe, second city, to the contrary, you don't assume that b urban folkway, driver and conductor are more likely to trust people, you know, if in the same market economy condition, if the two cities is also floating population many metropolis, if this situation is a common situation rather than the case, then the only possible is in both of the income distribution system of the bus company, division, personal income and of the ticket sales quota hook close degree is different.Good habits are forced out, bad habits are used, the truth, no matter in the society, countries, companies, families, all applicable.

I speak these is to illustrate: we know the history of the qing dynasty was thriving period, and then is a totalitarian rule, the qin empire and totalitarian rule;Was such thoughts, muzzled press, the qin empire such thoughts, such publication;When scholars were forced to retreat to the seemingly has nothing to do and political field of textual research, the scholars of the qin empire isn't also withdrew to seemingly has nothing to do with political field of fortune-telling?Was at that time the scholars in the textual research of cautious and ulteriorly put forward the subversive ideas, don't the qin empire scholars also express myself under the cover of SuanMingShu non-mainstream opinions?

I just said: "of different times, different countries, different RACES, as long as the system and the external environment, the result is the same."If to admit it, then, in the "book of changes" riddle of the "nine" and "yi" of political philosophy thought is also very easy to understand?

Someone may ask, "so with that said, these authors and editors are chu patriotic scholar?Can be in the "yi" don't see the patriotism of composition in?"

The first is that really the words so obvious, also could not say words.

The second reason is: do not think the patriotic ideas have long, in fact, the idea is very late."National rise and fall, fortunes", this is only the Ming dynasty by a large scholar gu yanwu, and this sentence is not so alone, rather than discrimination and gu yanwu subjugation and wu all read together, because the Monroe ku this context makes is destroyed han regime, foreign is the orthodox intellectuals at that time the most intolerable.

- that deserve careful about this issue.Read history must be careful, don't take the modern concept of the ancients.We all think patriotic for granted now, this is because the social system is not the same, we are charting new China is the people exercise their political rights by NPC, layer upon layer the election, I this piece of each to the residents' committees of general election would be hung banners, please vote for the divine.So, the country belongs to all the people, belongs to each one of us, we use taxes to support the government, the government is employed by the people, is to serve the people.In this way, we love our country, this is god's truth.Ancient society is not well.

From qin dynasty to the qing dynasty, is long authoritarianism, both land and people, the whole country is the emperor of a man's private property, and if you live in that time, since you are a born, you are belong to the emperor, you are no independent personality, is only part of as part of your own, as the emperor's private property, and there exists.If dynasty heyday, you may also pull pull breast, meet foreigners bullying when a glaring: "dozen dog owner also don't see?!"May be if you're trying to catch up with the bad king ruled?If the emperor didn't put you when people, would you still go to "love" the rest of his private property?

Emperors also aware of the seriousness of this problem, so repeated propaganda filial piety.

What is filial piety?

Is loyalty, filial piety and loyalty, we speak the filial piety of the Chinese people tend to take and the zhouyi as listed in the "thirteen classics" xiao ", and was actually xiao jing "is in essence a" loyal ".Many feel that China always pay attention to filial piety ethics, this is the essence of the Chinese traditional culture, in fact you should read through the "xiao" won't see it that way any more.This problem can be found in the "mencius said" the third volume, there is no longer in detail.

Convinced the emperor, be loyal to education people.In fact, this also no wonder that the emperor, human nature is like this - think about what the "loyalty", of course is a dog, so dogs are friends of human beings.

Dog similar to will be very fierce, but never very docile, to his master, or how so many people all like a dog.Pop song before, it seems that the name is called "a girlfriend or a dog, the name is very telling.Even if you put the dog away, in general, the dog will be all the way to find home, a little won't blame you, but if you do a little bit sorry girlfriend, girlfriend, have to be with you.If you are the emperor, you are hope people all like your girlfriend, or like a dog?

Under the powerful propaganda, folks who felt god's truth is dog, norm should obey the master.And guarding is the first duty of a dog, so well folks who nature should take care of the emperor of the estate.Say so, in the era of emperor, loyal is the first, or even the only, the meaning of patriotic mainly care for the emperor to the host's private property, and with the concept of loyal and patriotic becomes self-evident, no special need.

Before the qin empire, the zhou dynasty feudal system are mainly as said before, is the noble democratic politics and the situation of aristocratic oligarchy, not centralized.And, on time, the concept of "home" is the more important in the concept of "state", that is, a noble can not patriotic, it's nothing, nobody spit on him, because he is not patriotic but he must love family, don't focus on talent is being spit on.

Explain first, why I just said "aristocratic" so, rather than civilians?Because at that time the society was dominated by aristocratic, peers, from senior noble to low-level noble, all live in the city, they are all called the ruling class, are political rights;And working people in general are indigenous or be conqueror, native or both, at the same time also is the conqueror, these people don't have any political power.

The zhou dynasty, especially the western zhou dynasty and spring and autumn period, is a patriarchal society, rely on ritual, governing the simple said is very hierarchical order, the stability of the rank order means the stability of society, we say that China is a formal state, source right here.And ritual is in view of the noble class, the grassroots in not, so said "no less than the common people", this is not refers to the right people can not polite.Even ceremony music bad of the warring states period, mencius also believed that "no noticeable realistism are no perseverance", is not high demand for the grassroots.Let them "patriotic"?Out of the question.

Country is noble, and it is noble collective, especially in the early stage of the zhou dynasty.Social "decapitated" at that time, king is not how much power, directly under their own turf, only a small piece of packet out all other places, the vassal enjoys a high degree of autonomy, as long as tribute to emperor into often, something on the rightThe warIs ok.So, nobles have strong patriotic ideas?There is no.Vassals love own seal countries than their heads in the zhou dynasty, is truly own seal countries "my site I decide", is the lifeblood of himself.

Then, each the nobles in the warring states all love their own fiefdoms?Also is not.At the time of the social system is: like king herod seigneur, seigneur to herod themselves in charge of those small nobleman, these little aristocratic actually is not small, they have their own territory and the army, king of vassal states to fulfill the obligation of king and warring states to the murder of obligation.But these small aristocracy to them their own territory, population and troops packet to smaller noble, the rights and obligations of each other and so on.So, in that era, the notion of "home" is better than the idea of "country", a noble is not treason is common, but if he found a home, or to bring down their own, that's not to forgive SINS.

It is not easy to understand modern.Want to know, the larger aristocrats "home" is a small country, almost didn't I just tell uncle Samson MuZi and vertical bull case, uncle MuZi. Sun lu big aristocrat, his "home" is almost equivalent to one-third of the national, is larger than a few small fiefdoms national, vertical cattle as his house steward, also almost is equivalent to a small country's prime minister.And uncle Samson MuZi as head of uncle asked, when dealing with important affairs in accordance with the general standard, is to put their interests before the interests of the state.

Development of the zhou dynasty the political structure, makes each vassal states in almost all the monarch and the great power struggle, struggle is the trend of a ruler.Some countries finally principalities outweighed the big aristocrat, while in some countries, on the other hand, such as lu, divided three big aristocrat has actually put lu, lu there is even a monarch was three joint to go abroad, has been back to China.The three big noble is the "three huan" of Confucius often chanting: JiSun, ZhongSunShi, uncle asked.Uncle Samson MuZi is uncle asked a generation of big charge.

State of jin too much more than lu, six big family bucket to bucket to pour the three, the remaining three incredibly openly carve up the state of jin, from now on and there is no name of the state of jin, the central plains of the original state of jin empire split into Korea, Zhao Guohe wei, which is marked in the spring and autumn period and the warring states period division of major events "three points jin".

As if it's hard to say no to anything special case, chu in the warring states period, out of a "great patriotic poet, qu yuan.

This particular case is particular analysis.First of all, qu yuan at that time has come to the warring states period, the social system and social culture and the western zhou dynasty, and even in the spring and autumn period is not the same.Moreover, for the zhou dynasty is actually a "foreign" chu and little affected by the huaxia civilization.Which I described in "mencius said" the third book, now simple description: chu originally joined ers faction in the late shang dynasty, and then back out, this is roughly equivalent to a join in countries out of the confederacy (in a nutshell, the confederacy is looser than federal federalism), is also fine.And in fact, have been acting the foreign chu, chu said the king, very early the equal of king, didn't see chu when one zhongyuan vassals, only they are NaManZi, is uncivilized barbarians.There is a third point is: qu yuan is a noble chu, and chu royal family is the family of the same family name.So, although he is a small aristocracy, but chu also have a, he might even say, is they Mi home chu.

Mi, read the "m".How strange, qu yuan into Mi family again?

The king of chu surname Mi, said before, the front of a "family name" gradually into many "surname", xiong, closely, Mi surname that can distinguish JingShi, etc., so that qu yuan's "bow" is not his last name, but he's, who is not in the name of the "original", but his words, if the call habit of modern people, we should call him "Mi flat" - the great patriotic poet Mi ping.

So strictly speaking, patriotism is a promising idea, even is a modern concept, it is best not to easy to set on the ancients., for may be the those of the authors of the connotations of chu scholars, their attitude towards the qin empire what I'm afraid not of patriotism, but out of hatred in the history of the origin and deprived of vested interests, and free thought muzzled.
