However, I still want to talk about Priscilla. Bailixi (about 725- 62 BC1), surnamed Jiang, was born in the Spring and Autumn Period in the country (now Pinglu North, Shanxi). A famous politician and thinker in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Prissy was captured by the State of Jin, became conquered people, married the State of Qin, and later fled in humiliation. I want to go to Chu to see if it is possible to work for King Chu Cheng (69 BC1-626 BC), but this King Chu Cheng doesn't know the goods. After the Chu people in Nanyang caught Prissy, they asked him to herd cattle.
This Qin Mugong (about 670- 62 BC1) knew that Priscilla was capable, so he couldn't let the Chu people know how powerful Priscilla was. So Qin Mugong sent people to Nanyang to buy slaves and bought Prissy with five sheepskins at will. So this Prissy later had a nickname "Dr. Wu Yuan".
This time, Qin Mugong began to apologize to Priscilla: "I know that Mr Bailey is a capable person. I didn't know that Mr. Li had been to China before, so I lost my welcome, which led to Mr. Li suffering so much in Chu. I am willing to hand over state affairs to Yu Xiansheng, and I hope Mr. Li Can will teach me how to make Qiang Bing rich! "
Since the king of Qin apologized, he would not pursue the slave treatment he had received in Qin. Besides, when I went to Chu, I didn't know anyone and was treated as a slave! Prissy also borrowed a donkey from the slope and was worshipped as a doctor by Qin Mugong.
When he became a doctor of Qin, the people of Chu heard that he had let the able man go, so they told the king of Chu. When the king of Chu knew it, he patted his thigh and said, "Who killed a thousand knives and let the king of Chu miss a thigh?"
Having worked in Qin Xiang for seven years, Bai Xixi is diligent in government affairs, approachable, diligent and thrifty, and began to pay attention to the exploration of talents. "If there is no improper plan, you will make meritorious deeds." As a result, Qin ruled the country and established hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period.
In other words, by the time Prissy died, "both men and women in Qin cried, the boys stopped singing, and the people who lost their lives did not give in." In other words, men and women in Qin cried bitterly, and even children stopped singing songs. The people who were ploughing the fields didn't make corresponding songs because of their sadness.
Don't mention gossip, continue to tell the true story of "a hundred miles is negative"
Let's not talk about Bailixi, but let's talk about this story, "a hundred miles is negative." Since Li Bai doesn't mean people, it must mean the real distance of one hundred miles.
When he was a teenager, his family was very poor. He engaged in various jobs to maintain his family life and even often ate wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger. Therefore, the Zhong You family is 100% proletariat! Speaking of Zhong You, we have to talk about his master Confucius first! Confucius is nine years older than Zhong You.
Confucius was a declining aristocrat, and his father was originally a aristocrat in the Song Dynasty, because in the civil strife in the Song Dynasty, his great-grandfather fled to Lu, at least after the doctor in the Song Dynasty, and there were many servants accompanying him, and he also had a good life in Lu.
Confucius' father can only be a doctor in this small place called Qiaoyi, and he is also one of the slave owners! But as a foreign aristocrat, he has always been inferior to the local Lu people. So Confucius' father is getting worse and worse.
It is said that Confucius' father is over 60 years old and has given birth to nine daughters in a row, but he can't give birth to a son. Marry a concubine and finally have a son, Meng Pi.
Neither the eldest daughter nor the second daughter wants to marry Confucius' father, because Confucius' father is a 66-year-old bad old man, and only the 13-year-old daughter knows nothing, and everything depends on her parents. What a tragedy! 13-year-old Huanghua's eldest daughter is going to marry a 66-year-old bad old man!
In any case, it turned out that Yan Zheng, a girl of 14 years old, gave birth to Confucius in hardships and hardships, lived well for three years, and her father died of illness. Then, Confucius and his sister and aunt drove away Confucius and Yan Zhizhai, as well as Meng Pi and Meng Pi's mother.
In addition, according to Sima Qian's Historical Records Confucius Family, "Ge married Yan's daughter and gave birth to Confucius." This record made the descendants of Confucius lose face. My ancestors were born after having sex with underage girls aged 13. This is Confucius' father.
Yan has three daughters, and the youngest is Zheng Zaizhong. Yan asked the third daughter, "Although Shu, the doctor of Qiaoyi, is a sage, he belongs to the royal family. This man is ten feet long and extremely powerful. I like him very much. Although I am a little old and strict, there is nothing wrong with these. Which of you three wants to be his wife. "
The two eldest daughters were silent, and the youngest daughter came forward and replied, "Everything is arranged by dad, so dad doesn't have to ask again." Father recognized the tone of this sentence and said, "You can do it." So he married his little daughter to Shu.
The story is wonderful, but everyone still doesn't believe in Confucius' family story, only Sima Qian. As for the debate in historians, it is not whether Confucius was born out of wedlock, but to what extent. ╯□╰
Historians have given three different meanings of promiscuity, which are roughly as follows:
Ye Heyi: According to the etiquette in ancient China, the appropriate age for marriage and childbirth should be between 16 and 64 for men and between 14 and 49 for women. Any behavior beyond this range is impolite and is called "sexual intercourse". Confucius' father Shu married Yan Zhizai when he was 66 years old, and his mother was only 13 years old, so it was called "sexual intercourse".
Ye Hesan: Shu and he have intercourse in the wild (this is an ancient custom), so it is called "Ye He". Did Confucius' father have ulterior motives to trick Yan Zaizai into making love in the wilderness? Some even argued that he had sex on Mount Nishan, so Confucius was named Kony.
No matter what kind of "promiscuity", Confucius' reputation is not good, which is probably the reason why Confucius' mother can't get along in friendship (Jining, Shandong). Confucius and Meng Pi moved to Queli (Qufu, Shandong) with their mothers.
In short, Confucius lived a poor life in Lu, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, because Confucius' matriarchal family was obviously not a slave owner (male or female), or even a baron, and was basically a slave class level.
Later, Confucius, who was 17 years old, wanted to attend a family dinner for the benefit of the world, but he was turned away by yang hu, the minister who helped the world. This fully shows that Confucius must have come to this world because he was not accepted by society at that time. In the same year, Yan Zhizai, the mother of Confucius, died of overwork. It never rains but it pours!
Confucius 19 years old married the daughter of an official in the Song Dynasty. There is no way. The gentry refused to stay thousands of miles away and insisted on marrying a slave-class girl!
At the age of 20, Confucius began to approach Lu with the help of his brother, and gave birth to a son in the same year. Because it happened that Lu sent carp, it was so auspicious that he named his son.
In the same year (BC53 1), Lu made almost no money for the warehouse management work of Confucius. What's more, he also asked his wife to post money, which made the husband and wife have many contradictions, so Confucius said, "Only women are difficult to raise!"
Therefore, I think it is better to understand this sentence in combination with Confucius' mentality, but there is no need to enlarge the problem and say that Confucius discriminates against women.
In fact, his mother had been dead for several years by this time. There are not many other women around him except his wife. Of course, the state of Song also has a beautiful woman, Nanzi. Although he is Confucius' dream lover, why is Confucius' position too high? ╯ □
Of course, we can't expect a three-year-old child to be particularly clever, and he is one of those rare children, because Confucius' father is old and is likely to spoil him. As soon as his father died, Confucius was swept out by his sister and aunt.
Coupled with that era, it was originally an era when men were superior to women. Girls are not allowed to inherit property, only healthy boys can inherit property.
If it weren't for Confucius, his 66-year-old man would have braved the world's disapproval and slept with his mother Yan Zhizai Nishan, and there would still be no great Confucius left.
Therefore, Confucius said at the end of the slave society that "only women are difficult to raise" is not wrong. We can't apply modern concepts to Confucius, that would be ridiculous!
After the age of 25, Confucius gradually began to want to engage in sideline business. Of course, he is a private teacher. As long as he brings bacon, he will accept his apprentice. To some extent, this solved the problem of class solidification between slave owners and slave classes, but at the same time it eased class contradictions and promoted social development.
The preliminary work we are going to talk about today has been basically completed. Next, let's talk about how this intermediate theory was accepted as an apprentice by Confucius.
Confucius was a man of culture, and he followed his brother Meng Pi since childhood. He read a lot of books. Although his father died, his brother is still alive, almost inseparable.
Without dad's spoil, then study hard. Meng Pi himself is probably an educator, just to highlight Confucius. This eldest brother has no emphasis, or even if he is not an educator, at least he advocates cultural knowledge. I'm afraid he found all the books he could find for his brother Confucius at that time.
Finally, Confucius succumbed to the reality in the swearing of his wife's adult and in the sad daily rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea, and began to find ways to turn his wisdom into something useful, even if it was to hang bacon!
On this day, in the capital of Lu, teenagers have to borrow rice from relatives 40 or 50 miles away. In the second part, I said that Lutz's family was poor and a slave class. They lived by eating coarse grains and wild vegetables for many years.
It turns out that this time, my elderly parents are sick and want to eat rice, but there is no rice at home. Zhong You thinks that if I climb several mountains and borrow some rice from my relatives, I can meet my parents' requirements.
After walking dozens of miles, I sat on the side of the road and rested for a long time, just waiting for someone to pass by and bully me. The tall and burly road blocked Confucius' way, and raising my hand was an iron fist that knocked Confucius to the ground.
Lutz didn't respect him either, and scolded, "Kong Laoer, a black sheep, I caught him again this time! Let you look down on us country people every day. Next time you squint at me, I'll beat you! "
Confucius muttered for a long time and said, "Master Zhong, how dare I despise you! You have great martial arts, and you are superior to thousands of people with one hand. You will be a general in the future! I have already had the right attitude. In the eyes of those nobles who are above me, I am nothing. ……"
Confucius boasted about Zhong You at this time, but Zhong You was embarrassed. Zhong You helped Confucius up and wanted to teach him a lesson. Confucius asked him, "Guanzhong, where are you going? I remember your home is quite far from here. "
Zhong You was so embarrassed that he touched his forehead and said, "I'm going to borrow rice 40 miles away. My mother is ill and wants to eat rice. I'll lend him some. "
"No, no! I'm already halfway! But thank you! I know that Dr. Kong is literate. Just don't dislike my rudeness. I'm leaving! "
As a result, Jason Chung walked dozens of miles over the mountains and came back with a big bag of rice from his relatives' home. Luz forgot his fatigue when he saw his parents eating delicious rice. The neighbors all praised Luz as a brave and filial child.
Before long, Zhong You's mother heard that her son had beaten Confucius several times, and she was fine. If Confucius didn't blame him and sue the government, their family would be more than one bargained for.
In 52 1 year BC, Confucius stood at the age of 30 and was officially ready to accept disciples. When Zhong You heard that Confucius was going to accept an apprentice, he was the first to stand up and say, "Master, I have been your guardian for several years for free, and the protection fee is worth a lot of bacon!" "
Confucius smiled. You didn't say you wanted to study. Zhong You, I will give you a name. From now on, it will be called "Luz", the guiding light. You must do as the teacher says!
"Yes, yes! Thank you, master! " Zhong, you are so happy. This year, Zhongyou is 2 1 year old.
Speaking of it, it's not like those who have been poor together know. Since Confucius began to accept apprentices, teach all kinds of things, and invited some unscrupulous people to teach knowledge at home, our lady Kong has been unhappy.
Secondly, Mrs. Kong will take care of a son, Kong Li, and a little daughter, Kong Jiao. Men have to do things and women have to do all the housework. There is almost endless work to be done. There are more rough people to clean up now, so don't worry about Mrs. Kong.
Thirdly, psychologically, I used to like Confucius because he was a nobleman and he had close contact with the top leaders. He is a blue chip. Look at me and a group of untouchables like me discussing state affairs. I almost laughed myself to death. When will ordinary people be able to control state affairs? It's always the nobles who have the final say!
There are four students in the first group, Ran Ge and Min Loss, and Yan Lu. This Yan Lu is hard to be accepted by his relatives, but Yan Lu is also a more miserable and shabby aristocrat. So there are four students, including Zhong You's big guard.
So Mrs. Kong, like most women, began to complain, began to vomit, began to spread negative energy to Confucius, and even kicked Confucius out of bed at night to keep him away, which made Confucius very depressed.
Confucius often said: "Eat color!" You won't even let me eat, and my nature can't be satisfied. Isn't it sad for me? So he said that famous saying: "Only women and little people can't support themselves!" "
A year later, Confucius could bear it no longer and divorced his wife. Confucius really didn't believe it. You can't live without women. At this time, Kong Li is a teenager, and she can take care of her sister Kong Jiao.
On the other hand, this Mrs. Kong is really not very clever. She studied with Confucius for more than ten years, but she didn't learn to be smarter. Her son Kong Li (532-483 BC) is not like Confucius, but like Lu Xun's child Zhou Haiying.
Confucius' family background and private life are basically not recorded by Confucius' disciples, so that future generations don't know whether the name of Confucianism is right or not, and they don't know how Mrs. Kong lived after divorce.
However, there are always clues that can make everyone guess the ending. It turns out that the mother of the big fish is not doing well. After being divorced by Confucius, she has been living in her family. After all, mother and son are connected.
I can only say that this Kong Laoer is an abomination, not letting his son be filial, and his son's sad heart is holding back. Finally, two years later, Kong Li also went to see his mother. He didn't want to see the dead old man again.
Confucius should have been a little sad before his son died. Four years later, he also went to see the ghost king. I think Luz will be very dissatisfied with Confucius for not letting his son Apollo be filial, and may even scold the teacher.
To tell the truth, after studying Confucius' life, I feel that Confucius is not very likable, but a child's way, which is particularly likable.
Because of loyalty, the final result is because the heart is cut into meat sauce. After Zhong You's death in 480, although Confucius scolded Luz many times during his lifetime, once a person dies, he is more sad than his son.
Once at dinner, the apprentice brought meat sauce. Confucius couldn't eat any more. He opened the lid and stopped eating. Later, everyone knew that he wanted to be a disciple who followed him all his life.
They are masters and apprentices, "fathers and sons", guards and masters. Of course, no one dared to kill Confucius later.
Confucianism regards Luz as such a son who dares to speak, and lists him as one of the great dutiful sons that later generations learn and learn from, which I didn't expect.
Therefore, this story has nothing to criticize! And then criticize the hypocritical Confucianism by the way. Confucius himself was not so filial, and even his son was not allowed to be filial. This is the double standard of Confucius, and we should criticize it.
As the upper class of slave society, Confucius' words and deeds must serve the upper class, although he broke the barrier that the poor could also learn knowledge, which was the second way he got under the pressure of his wife.
If he can be an official and earn money, he must be the first choice, because the road to rise is slim, and all the monarchs in the world don't want him to be a braggart who only talks big but doesn't do practical things, so he has no choice but to engage in sideline business to earn extra money.
He is lewd, too. Nanzi asked him to meet him and talk about his life and ideals, so he went to see the big beauty. When he saw the big beauty wearing coquettish clothes and gold and silver jewelry, he would be unhappy. Lu, the eldest son of Wei, misunderstood Confucius and said, "Master, are you having an affair with Nanzi?" ! How can I hear the tinkling in the house? "
Confucius immediately swore: "Luz, don't doubt me!" " If I do something wrong to others, it will be lightning and thunder, and I will die a natural death! "
Lutz immediately believed it, haha, Lutz is such an outspoken disciple of Confucius! If it was midsummer, he wouldn't believe it. On the contrary, he will think it is normal. Everything starts from pragmatism. Nanzi, a woman, is still valuable. Why not see her?
In the last part, I had a discussion with a group of friends. Now I will record the discussion process and results as follows and share them with you. If it's fun, I might as well actively participate in the discussion!
Qi Jiu said, "It must be Luz. Lutz is so lovely and loyal, but he is not as hypocritical as Kong Laoer! Kong Laoer advocated loyalty, but he left his hometown to seek official positions in other countries, which is now called defection and treason. His loyalty is only his mother if he has milk. Confucius advocated filial piety, but failed to fulfill the responsibility of filial piety. A man who lost his father at the age of three and his mother at the age of seventeen has no chance to support his parents. He didn't realize the difficulty of supporting his parents. It feels better to support a virtuous old man, and it is a great suffering to support an immoral old man. So it is easy for Confucius to stand and talk. If Confucius' mother can live to be eighty or ninety years old and is in poor health, it is hard to say whether Confucius is a true dutiful son or a true rebellious son. As the saying goes, there is no dutiful son in front of the bed. When Kong Li was a child, on the first anniversary of her mother's death, she burst into tears because she missed her dead mother, but she was reprimanded by Confucius, who thought that Kong Li had gone too far, which showed that Confucius was ruthless. It is true that children miss their mother's death, which shows that there is affection between mother and child. If there is no tears for the dead relatives, there is only resentment, which is obviously unfilial. So Confucius is a super liar who does one thing and does another. He is a hypocrite whose words and deeds are different. "
Smile and answer: "Kong Qiu bragged, made false propaganda, obsessive-compulsive disorder! Obviously, he was bent on being an official, but he refused to learn the skills of this rich country except ethics. Therefore, no matter what he was in charge of, he emphasized the omnipotence of ethics, and he should govern the army, finance, diplomacy and people with ethics, which eventually led to Lu's weakness after Confucianism appeared in Xingtan and lost the opportunity to save the country. After the exhaustion of Lu in Xingtan, Confucian scholars moved to Qi, which was still relatively strong at that time, and developed Confucianism. As a result, less than 100 years after the emergence of Confucianism, Qi faced extinction. This Kong Laoer is terrible. I have bad luck with someone. I still choose Luz as my friend! "
Youyou replied: "Confucius thought is the chief culprit that leads China to lag behind western powers."
Meiqin replied, "Who wants to wander around with a charlatan? Confucius is just an ordinary person, not a saint! "
Ruishan replied, "love rat is a panicked dog! ! ! ! ! ! Stop boasting! Choose a dog, don't make it a friend! Choose Luz. "
Singh said, "Ashan is right. It is the most vivid, vivid and profound evaluation and portrayal. Maybe someone will ask, whose lackey is Confucius? Maybe some people never thought whose dog Confucius was. Actually, the answer is simple. Confucius is a lackey of slave family. He has been running for the restoration of slavery all his life. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, slavery was so happy that Confucius was really a slave dog. I like Luz. "
Wei Wei replied: "Hey! Why do you hate Confucius so much? Not to choose him as a teacher, but to choose friends! I still choose Confucius as my friend! After all, Confucius is well informed! It is possible to travel around the world and see many strange things. It's not bad to listen to his stories and brag! Lutz's boasting can't beat Confucius! ╯□╰! "
