Thanks to the efforts of Confucian scholars, China's chronicle began in 84 BC1year (the first year of the Western Zhou Dynasty) and has not been interrupted until today.
In the second year of Taikang in the Western Jin Dynasty (28 1), grave robbers found a simplified copy in Wei's tomb, which was written by Wei people and named "Chronology of Bamboo Slips". Its content is the same as that of Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period, but some important contents are completely different, so some people in later generations doubt the authenticity of Confucian records of history.
It turns out that the chronicles of bamboo books are quite different from the Confucian classics of Chinese studies.
In fact, Annals of Bamboo Records broke through the ancient historical system carefully fabricated by Confucianism.
Let's take demise as an example to illustrate this point.
The doctrine of the mean plays a very important role in the Confucian ethical system of governing the country. It is a model of governing the country by courtesy and benevolence, but it was invented by Confucius.
The chronicles of bamboo books say: "Yaode declined in the past and was imprisoned by Shun". It also said that "Hou Ji released the water of Emperor Zhu", and Hou Ji was Shun. Obviously, Shun imprisoned Yao and exiled Yao's son before he ascended the throne. Where is abdication? In a word, the Book of the Later Han Dynasty said: "Shun forced Yao, Yu forced Shun and Jie, attacked the four kings of Zhou, and the people and ministers killed their kings.
"
In addition to fabricating historical facts out of thin air, Confucianism has set many hypocritical political examples.
Yi Yin, an important assistant minister in Shang Dynasty, is one of them.
According to the bamboo annals, Yi Yin exiled Shang Tang's grandson "Tai Jia" to stand on his own feet, and Tai Jia was kept in Tonggong for more than two years. Later, Ji Cong fled to Tonggong, killed Yi Yin, restored the throne, and treated Yi Yin's two sons generously, allowing them to divide Yi Yin's Tian Zhai.
The original text is: "Yi Yin released Tai Jia from Tong, and Yin Nai was independent, and lived in Tai Jia for seven years. Tai Jia secretly killed Yi Yin from the boy, so he set up sons Yi Yin and Yvonne to restore his father's farmland and divide it.
"
However, in the historical materials forged by Confucianism, the story becomes like this: Tai Jia did not listen to Yi Yin's advice after he succeeded to the throne and ran amok. Tai Jia was imprisoned in Tonggong by Yi Yin, deeply regretting that he finally turned over a new leaf and performed well. Yi Yin welcomed him back to Beijing.
Yi Yin praised Tai Jia for repentance.
Tai Jia replied, "I violated your teachings in the past, and I hope you will continue to guide me on the right path in the future."
The disaster created by heaven can still be avoided; I can't escape the disaster that I made myself (heaven commits iniquity, but it can be violated; You can't commit a crime yourself, "Book of Rites").
"So, a palace coup usurper Yi Yin, suddenly became a selfless saint.
