History records the failure of losers. ...
Dinosaurs failed, it became history, Roman Empire, Mongolian Empire and Datang Empire failed, it also became history, and so did Napoleon and Hitler.
In China, there has always been a tradition of recording history in the official Spring and Autumn Annals (Confucius' original intention was good, but it was really ideal, and then it gradually turned sour). Even in today's society, the government wants to continue this tradition, so that all history becomes contemporary history, and all historical causes and effects become contemporary political rhetoric, euphemistically called: take history as a mirror.
In ancient times, this group of people who were responsible for the operation of knives were called historians, academicians and university students. Now they are all research institutes at all levels. Although the name has changed, they have been sitting in the same position for thousands of years.
Today, it seems to me that there is nothing profound. In the vernacular, no matter what the official reason is, the reality is the same. Just looking at history itself is useless to our reality itself. Let nature take its course, for better or worse!
We live in the present, and it's really useless to talk about history. Our criticism of Historical Records in the Spring and Autumn Period is indeed limited. Although respected by scholars of past dynasties, it is often said that "Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Period, and traitors were afraid".
However, this is probably just a little bit of psychosexuality and self-comfort of ancient literati.
In ancient times, people often criticized and roared in the name of history.
But this can only scare people, not eat people. How many people in ancient and modern times have really been afraid!
Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Sima Yi, Zhao Gao ... These powerful people, including rebel thieves in the cultural population, dare to take down the emperor?
The reality is very skinny, and the winning and losing power politics is the historical protagonist.
Since ancient times, human civilization has also been a world where power is king and violence is rampant.
Washington succeeded. He is the father of America and a national hero. Hitler failed. He is a murderer and a German sinner.
Looking back at history, it is not difficult to find that they all committed the crime of the Holocaust, one killing Indians and the other killing Jews. ...
The record of history in the Spring and Autumn Annals is just a utopian fantasy that Confucius brought us to China!
From ancient times to the present, those who stand on the column of shame are often losers. China's record of history has become the winner's affirmation of himself and his ruling tool.
The mode of "recording history" conceived by Confucius and its idealized effect are completely distorted and trite, which is a punishment for losers.
So even if history is a little binding on people, it is a weak code of conduct, not a strong spiritual self-discipline.
If we want to realize "Confucius writes the Spring and Autumn Annals, but rebels are afraid of thieves", we may have to wait for our great socialist China!
