What happened to that history? Shang Zhouwang's uncle Ji Zi saw the tyranny of Zhou Wang and the decline of the country, so he went to remonstrate with Zhou Wang, but Zhou Wang wouldn't listen. Ji Zi had to play the fool, live in seclusion in Jishan, play the piano all day, and express his frustration and anguish with Ji Zi Cao. At that time, people seemed to have terrible musical attainments, and they could hear words when playing the piano, such as Zhong Ziqi, a woodcutter. In a word, someone told Zhou Wang that Ji Zi complained all day and called you names (this may be the earliest "literary inquisition", no! Is "music prison", "condescension"), Zhou Wang fire emit three zhangs, Zhou Wang hate these smelly intellectuals, called him acid literati behind his back, so he wanted to kill the old boy, but in the end didn't kill Ji Zi, why? Zhou Wang dare not kill his uncle? Don't! Beagan is also Zhou Wang's uncle. Didn't he have his heart cut off? But after all, Beagan scolded Zhou Wang to his face, while Ji Zi scolded Zhou Wang behind his back. Don't! Is to play the piano and scold him, just because of playing the piano and cursing, I killed my uncle. Even if Zhou Wang is fatuous, even if he is not killed, he will not be spared. Otherwise, no one will beat drums and dance to scold Zhou Wang in the future. All right, then imprison him. He had to imprison himself nearby, so he imprisoned Ji Zi in a place called "Jizitai", which is today's Ji Zi.
Therefore, Kiko began his life as a prisoner. Like many intellectuals in ancient China (Zhou Wenwang, Han Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Fang Zhimin), they not only complained, but also thought deeply (but most of their thoughts were not written and passed down to future generations, let alone practiced), but Ji Zi was lucky that some people valued his thinking achievements, that is, Zhou Wuwang, the founder of the Zhou Dynasty in Shang Dynasty, and King Wu not only made Ji Zi's theory,
Every founding emperor paid attention to the legacy of the previous dynasty, or the brain drain was serious due to the war, or the country was stable in order to win the hearts of the people, or he clearly understood the audience. In a word, many legacies of the former dynasty have been preserved, especially those courtiers of the former dynasty who were regarded as treasures by the enlightened monarch, and even those low-ranking officials, most of whom continued to stay in order to rule the place. This is why China has repeatedly staged live dramas in which the Qing Dynasty became the police of the Republic of China. Therefore, "once every emperor is a courtier." In a word, Kiko is more important than his nephew. He became a popular figure in front of King Wu and was highly valued by King Wu. King Wu integrated Ji Zi Thought into the way of governing the country. What is Ji Zi's important thought? Hong Fan Nine Domains. What is this thing? Most people in China find it strange, but no one will be surprised by its content.
Because the first article of Hong Fan Jiu Yu is to follow the law of five elements, "five elements". Note that this is the first example of China's simple materialism. Modern people talk about the five elements, either as mysterious things flying in the sky or as superstitions, and both views are too biased. The five elements, namely gold, wood, water, fire and earth, were the highest culture at that time, and human beings' analysis and understanding of nature. "Straight wood is straight", which grows in different ways and can be used logically. It can also be used to build houses, cars and tools. "Water will moisten", develop irrigated agriculture, resist drought and natural disasters, and increase crop yield. "Fire is said to get angry." When it gets hot, it rises, and the poles are reversed. "Soil is better than crops", developing agriculture and mulberry. Ji Zi believes that human society should follow the Five Elements Law, which is a simple materialistic analysis of deep-seated problems such as human social order and even the order of all things and the laws of nature. At that time, it could be said that it was a great progress. The concept of Yin-Yang and Five Elements was an ignorant and rough thinking of human beings on the basic substances that make up the world. For the first time, I believe that the world is composed of five mysterious elements, which is much more advanced than the extreme idealism of God's creation and even the birth of all things.
There are also "five respects and five uses" in Hong Fan Jiu Yu. What do you mean? Be respectful and serious to people, speak kindly to people, observe problems carefully and deeply, listen more and talk less, think dialectically and understand problems, and don't walk into a dead end, so as to succeed. Where such a standard is "using five things", it is obviously Zeng Guofan three thousand years ago. Being a man and doing things in a watertight way is a model for China people to be an official.
There is also the "eight-agricultural policy" in Hong Fan's nine domains, which involves food, clothing, housing and transportation, judicial management, educational etiquette and many other aspects. , completely laid the ideological and policy foundation of China for three thousand years. In the past, China's agriculture has developed for thousands of years, but it has remained in a spontaneous and self-cultivating mode of production, and has not risen from national policy, national management and national theory to the fundamental height of the country.
There are many contents in Hong Fan Jiu Yu, which is of great significance. They are called the source of ritual system, the source of legal system, the source of Confucianism, the father of ancient official system and the source of the three cardinal guides and five permanent members. Just like Plato and Aristotle in the west, their research contents include mathematics, philosophy, logic, rhetoric and physics. In theory, policy, even public opinion and superstition, Hong Fan Jiuyu systematically transformed the new dynasty-Zhou Dynasty for the first time. Incredibly, Zhou Wuwang, the ruler of the new dynasty, a completely arbitrary monarch, humbly accepted the ideological wealth of former minister Ji Zi and turned the new dynasty into a testing ground for new ideas. The Zhou Dynasty can last for 800 years. It can't be said that it is the great contribution of Hong Fan Jiu Yu, which integrates "respecting the king" and "keeping rites" into everyone's blood. We find that whenever a big change takes place, it must first be an ideological and cultural change. When the Cultural Revolution precedes the armed revolution, it can greatly promote the revolutionary process. For example, the ideology, theory and propaganda of the * * * production party are very advanced within the Kuomintang. Let the people along the way see the differences between countries and know that there are other options besides the corrupt, incompetent and cruel national government, which has increased people's dissatisfaction with the national government, planted the fire of resistance and accelerated the demise of the Kuomintang. And China's ideology and culture are often good revolutionaries, but they are often not good rulers, because stale ideas often can't keep up with the development and progress of society. The inheritance and development of cultural schools in China often get the blessing of the soul, frequent masters and inspiration at or after the change of dynasties, so as to produce new advanced culture. The development of culture can't keep up with the development of society. When children die, milk is useless. If culture keeps up, the country will perish. This is the case with Ji Zi's "Hong Fan Jiu Yu" and its evolved "Zhou Li" and Confucianism. At first, they were enough. Later, they fell behind, and their culture and country declined. Finally, the militarists and legalists defeated Ji Zi's culture and Zhou Li, the new culture defeated the old culture, and the Qin Dynasty replaced the Zhou Dynasty.
Although his theory has achieved great success in the new dynasty, it is incredible that the godfather of the new dynasty, Ji Zi, is actually sentimental. Think about my nephew Shang Zhouwang, look at the humble Zhou Wuwang in front of me, and think about the mountains and rivers that my ancestors came from many battles but lost in World War I, so I can't help but have mixed feelings. I was heartbroken in the capital of Zhou, left North Korea, made concessions, and simply sealed North Korea as a gift.
Of course, Ji Zi left North Korea for a reason, not anywhere else. The former king of Yin Shang Dynasty had already visited the ancient Korean area a long time ago. The ancient Koreans belonged to a branch of ancient Dongyi in China, and even had the same or similar totem worship. Bird totem worship and egg-laying myth are very common in ancient Korean peninsula, so don't underestimate these seemingly superstitious and ridiculous modern tribal totems. Even in that glorious era of bronze civilization, human beings still felt helpless in the face of natural forces, puzzled by phenomena, ignorant of the unknown world and rude ignorance of the monarchy ... which made human beings awe the mysterious "heaven" and "god", even to an unprecedented extent. Totem has become an important link between human beings and "Heaven" and "God". Totemistic and symbolic ancestors are descendants or agents of "heaven" and "god", which plays a great role in the pride and cohesion of the tribe. At that time, the concept of unified dynasty was still vague. Usually, a big tribe, a big tribe alliance is a powerful political force. The so-called Yellow Emperor, Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Dynasty and other Central Plains dynasties were almost the earliest and most powerful tribal alliances, while other small regimes and tribes did not disappear. The tribe, race and totem culture they worship still have great power. The same totem represents the same ancestor, even the same culture. The Dongyi people in ancient Korea were inextricably linked with the Yin and Shang dynasties, so Kiko wanted to go to ancient Korea. According to the Biography of the Three Kingdoms in Wei Zhi, many residents on the Korean Peninsula claimed to be "ancient dead people" from China. What is the "ancient dead"? Dongyi is a Chiyou tribe, and the adherents of Yin Shang are descendants of Yin Shang, both of whom are "subjugated".
archaeological finds
The earliest human remains discovered in North Korea were even five or six thousand years ago, which became the most powerful proof that South Korea did not recognize its ancestor Ji Zi and considered itself a native. What about before? Jump out of the cracks in the stone? It is a historical problem for a person to mistake his father for his ancestors, and denying his ancestors is a moral problem of filial piety. Of course, today's China is ashamed that he is from China, let alone a foreigner. I've only heard that some people worship foreign things to recognize Japanese, Koreans and foreigners as ancestors. I've never heard of anyone rushing to recognize China's ancestors, because China's ancestors are really embarrassed. It's too embarrassing to say it. Just like many civilized and educated people from rural areas to cities dare not recognize their wrinkled and callused parents, although China's father is really not so good, after all, he is the father of South Korea, and South Korea is promising. He changed his waistcoat, suit and plastic surgery. He is also the son of China, a worthless father. Now let China, a timid father, tell his son how he spent those years.
It is a big mistake to think that a civilization can only be passed down by blood. For example, australopithecus africanus is the ancestor of people all over the world, but who can say that the four major civilizations were inherited by Australopithecus? European countries, even the United States and Russia, claim to be the successors of the Roman Empire, but what does it have to do with the Roman Empire? They are all barbarian descendants who perished in the Roman Empire! But why do you call yourself the heir of Rome? Because they are indeed the inheritors of Roman civilization, there are shadows of Rome everywhere, whether it is institutions, laws, beliefs, etc. It can be seen that the inheritance of civilized wealth is the greatest inheritance wealth of a country and a nation. Civilization is first formed through self-creation or inheritance, which is an important prerequisite for the formation of a country. The inheritance of civilization lies not in the morning and evening, but in the importance of its influence on future generations. Meng Tian made a pen, but Meng Tian didn't have a pen before? Don't! He made great progress in pen-making: Cai Lun made paper, didn't Cai Lun have paper before? Don't! He made great progress in papermaking: Lu Ban was regarded as the ancestor of carpenters. Didn't people in China build houses before Luban? Don't! He made great improvements to carpenters' tools: for example, even monk Jian Zhen was regarded by the Japanese as the originator of medicine and wine making. Didn't the Japanese stop seeing doctors and drinking before Jian Zhen? Don't! Jian Zhen made great improvements in these aspects, and even some improvements were not necessarily made by Jian Zhen himself, but by people he brought, just because the status of craftsmen in that era was low, and nobody could stay or because of other reasons, it was written on Jian Zhen's head; Where's Princess Wencheng? ...
Before Ji Zi, there were sites of human activities on the Korean peninsula. Of course, those humans are also from China. They are not Australopithecus who crossed the ocean like the Monkey King. But these human beings are so miscellaneous that they can't even say that they are in a state of ignorance. Whether they are Danong or Dongyi, they are still barbarians. They have no national concept, but after Ji Zi arrived in North Korea, they began to "give eight articles."
When Ji Zi arrived in North Korea, there were 5,000 followers. There were always many believers around great thinkers like Ji Zi who believed in his theory. Moreover, he is a celebrity with high status and great social influence, and it is normal to have many followers. Moreover, he was also a vassal, and it was normal to bring a large number of people from the feudal country (now Taigu County, Shanxi Province) when he moved, just like Jian Zhen's crusade. The talents Ji Zi brought to North Korea involved many skills, such as poetry, calligraphy, rituals, music, medicine, witchcraft, yin and yang, divination and so on. It can be said that the Korean society has been comprehensively promoted, and its far-reaching influence has touched all aspects of North Korea, making North Korea a miniature version of China and a miniature version of Yin Shang in terms of clothing, system and culture.
Modern archaeological discoveries in South Korea prove that the styles of ancient bronzes and tombs in South Korea are completely consistent with those in Shang and Zhou Dynasties in China, which can completely prove their cultural inheritance. People often refer to ancient bronzes as "artifacts" because they not only contain the original religious beliefs of the ancients, but also were made when human civilization thought they were closest to "gods". What's more important is the culture contained in the bronze ware itself, a culture containing religious soul, religious belief and human piety. Bronze ware is the most sincere and authentic cultural symbol for "God". It can be said that Ji Zi made the Korean Peninsula enter the Bronze Age, and began to have the concepts of country, nation and culture, and a detailed and scientific division of labor. It is no exaggeration to call Ji Zi the "human ancestor" of North Korea.
If people dig ten meters to dig out dinosaurs, five meters to dig out apes and garbage in the future, it means that it is left by today's society, and archaeology is the ironclad evidence of history. If North Korea unearthed cultural relics such as bronzes from the Zhou Dynasty in China, and China systematically unearthed bronzes from the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han Dynasties, it can be proved that North Korea accepted the culture of the Zhou Dynasty in China. If China had the cheek to say that Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties inherited Korean culture, I would be speechless. As for archaeological evidence, in Liu Junyong's articles such as "Dalian Centennial Archaeological Discovery and Research", there is a detailed description of the cultural inheritance between China and North Korea, so I won't say much here. China's culture is an orderly and systematic inheritance. If some customs, landmarks and archaeological remains of a certain place, such as Japan, Vietnam, Myanmar and even Guangdong, Yunnan and Tibet, are similar to those of a certain dynasty in China, it can be explained that China culture had a great influence on a certain place in a certain period.
Folklore relics
Customs, like dialects, are living fossils for studying human migration and cultural communication. For example, many Indian customs are very close to those in China. For example, the Indian feather headdress is very similar to the ancient feather clothes in China, indicating that it was migrated from China, and later someone moved there, bringing with it the advanced culture and customs of China at that time. For example, the princess of Rome married to Russia and brought many Roman customs, beliefs and cultures to Russia to learn customs and culture.
Koreans like to wear white clothes, which is related to the customs of Yin merchants. "Historical Records Yin Benji" records: soup is the new moon, easy to take color, white. It shows that businessmen like to wear white clothes, especially the official likes and advocates. Korean history books also record that Koreans like to wear white clothes, even now.
North Korea's funeral system is similar to that of Yin Shang, especially a large number of martyrdom. Although Ji Zi came to Korea after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Ji Zi established an ancient Korean dynasty in Korea, which was ruled by the ministers of the adherents of Yin Shang, and had customs, traditions and behaviors similar to those of Yin Shang. It was just that the policy at that time was to use "Hongfan Jiuzhou", especially human sacrifice, which can be said to be a cruel bad habit inherited from Yin Shang. Confucius once complained that people's hearts are not ancient, but now they are not as good as before. Killing people before, including people, he said maliciously, whoever uses clay figurines instead of people to fool the dead first will have no children or daughters! ! "The initiator, there is nothing behind it!" The kind and polite "ancients" that Mr. Kong never forgets is a businessman.
As a national subjugation, Shang Dynasty left many relics in China and even neighboring countries. Why? Because Zhou Wuwang destroyed the brutal Shang Zhouwang and the court of Yin Shang, not the people with large population and developed culture in Yin Shang, even the son of Zhou Wang, the rulers of that era did not have the concept of systematic colonial assimilation and aggression, and basically went their own way. The Zhou Dynasty originated in the northwest, and the Shang Dynasty was mainly in the Central Plains. Wu Wang returned to the northwest after the destruction of the Shang Dynasty, but the adherents of the Shang Dynasty still lived in Henan, except for a few restless people who were always forced into exile. Most people's lives have not changed. At that time, the Shang culture in the Central Plains was even more advanced and unforgettable than the Northwest Zhou Dynasty, which became the new ruler.
It can be said that Korea at that time was a special country with the legacy of Yin Shang as the main body, following the customs of Yin Shang and following the policies of Zhou Dynasty. Today, as an important part of China's ethnic family, the ancestors and customs of the Korean nationality come from the legacy of the Shang Dynasty. Today's Xi 'an compatriots love plain white, like neatness and pay attention to etiquette, and they have inherited the adherents of Yin Shang represented by Ji Zi. The adherents of Yin Shang lived in China for many years, and most of them attached great importance to etiquette. For example, the Song and Wei Dynasties in the Spring and Autumn Period were famous for their ceremony.
North Korea is a nation that values etiquette. Most of them are gentle, orderly and regular, and their behavior is gentle. Compared with China's so-called "state of etiquette and civilization", they pay more attention to etiquette and behave like gentlemen. Even the rural villagers are more educated than the well-educated people in the big cities of China, with orderly living arrangements, clean household utensils and elegant furnishings, far better than China. Nowadays, many people think that Koreans' view that "a person who can't even wear clothes is absolutely an idiot" is insulting China people's slovenly appearance. Indeed, it is not necessarily a wise man to rely solely on glamorous clothes, but an orderly life and neat clothes are definitely undeniable virtues, good quality and elegant aesthetics, while the unkempt appearance of China people is definitely not a sign of "playing dumb". Their clothes are clean and tidy, and their homes are neat and chic.
During the implementation of Ji Zi's theory in China, it will not only be resisted by the original culture, but also betrayed by the middle and lower bureaucrats in China. After all, there is a psychological gap with the new dynasty. The most important thing is that the forests in China are too big and there are too many birds, which is not as profound as what North Korea wrote on a blank piece of paper at that time. Therefore, North Korea has a legacy of a gentleman. China, on the other hand, has never been fundamentally transformed by the wind of gentlemen. Although there are also a few cultural hooligans in North Korea, such as the current Korean textual research scholars, we can't deny and kill them one by one. The behavior of most Koreans is indeed more civilized than that of China. Moreover, it is normal for South Korea to be influenced by Japanese, western and China dross culture in modern times. After all, the number of cultural hooligans and shameless people in China is unparalleled in the world. As we all know, compared with South Korea, it is a drop in the bucket.
Most Koreans are cautious and seldom puffed up, which is related to their humble mentality that they think they are adherents of national subjugation, but they are in a superior position than other powerful countries and adherents of Yin Shang. They seem to be traitors of Yin Shang, traitors of previous dynasties and protectors of new dynasties. Compared with China, they are still very ashamed in the cultural atmosphere without countless beautiful excuses such as China's "knowing the times is a hero". Although this is independent, how similar is the formation of this national mentality to that of Ji Zi when he founded the country?
South Korea has risen rapidly in recent years and has quickly become one of the developed countries. It's no exaggeration to describe it as a miracle. How did the Korean miracle happen? Besides the objective environment, internal quality is the most important reason for a nation's success. The quality of a nation can be reflected by the quality of its citizens. For a nation, quality and character can never be summarized in one or two sentences. It usually has a series of advantages and disadvantages. Although abstract, it can be quantified. The character and quality of most citizens can better reflect the character and quality of a nation, such as China. He always likes to put gold on his face and say: Lu Xun, Qu Yuan, Yue Fei, etc. It can represent the national character of China, but we must painfully admit that there are more Qin Gui, Little Shenyang, Li Gang and Xu Sanduo. In the "Kneeling Incident", more than 99% of Japanese people knelt down ... Similarly, it would be superficial to say that China and Japan were rude just because of Hitler and tojo hideki. There are also many rational and elegant people in Germany and Japan. From the behavior and dress style of the Korean nation, we can see that it is a nation with a good sense of order. Even if the family is poor, the utensils are meticulous and clean, and they also cherish traditional costumes and dresses. This is a kind of etiquette, etiquette, order and respect that is integrated into the national blood, which is extremely lacking in our country. A nation's clothing has almost no characteristics of its own, and it can be said that we Han people can be called the first place in the world. Ethnic minorities, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean and other oriental nationalities all have their own unique national costumes, and they are meticulously dressed. In China, Hu people come in to wear Hu clothes, while Manchu people come in to wear pigtails. When foreigners come, keep your distance ... Someone once used a real phenomenon to describe the so-called national characteristics of our country: when you see a yellow man in a mess on a foreign street, people will say that he is from China. If you see a yellow man in beautiful clothes, people will say he is Korean or Japanese. ...
Korean dramas are simple, but everyone loves them and they are popular all over the world. Koreans have many primitive virtues praised by China people, and their behaviors seem simple, but they are more orderly than our country. By contrast, what about China? "It's quite complicated" and "not simple", but morality is the most immoral and culture is the least cultured. Speaking of the so-called China culture, it is always everywhere, but it is incomprehensible. There is wine culture on the wine table, gift-giving culture on the dining table, and many customers are arty. Gamblers are the main carrier of friendship between the people of China. Speaking of China culture, it has a long history and profound connotation. Let's put aside our personal feelings and calmly ask ourselves, what can South Korea do 30 years ago? And China? Thirty years ago, China could manufacture satellites, nuclear bombs, submarines and so on, and had a complete industrial system. What was in Korea at that time? However, more than 30 years later, Korean cars swept through China. Today, South Korea's automobile, steel, shipbuilding, electronics and other industries have been ahead of China for more than ten years, and its national living standard, income level and happiness index are far ahead of China. Looking back 30 years ago, how dare Koreans say "China culture, made in Korea"? What about today? Hehe, ridiculous and sad, sad and sad, sad and shameful, shameful and hateful, hateful and ridiculous. Poor and happy people finally choked and couldn't laugh.
National etiquette in Korea is very strict. When colleagues meet for the first time, they should use honorifics. Younger generations must use honorifics when talking to elders. Even when speaking with peers, honorifics are often used. Younger generations can't drink in front of their elders when eating. If it is unavoidable, young people should raise their glasses and drink behind their backs. Young people can't smoke in front of the elderly, and they can't borrow a light ... let alone compare with China? China's so-called "state of etiquette" is all etiquette, and shit and fart have etiquette and culture. Dogs of civilized people who walk their dogs shit everywhere, but eunuchs and ministers who don't fart to the emperor conspire to harm the emperor. The behavior of civilized people is worse than that of ordinary people. Their sons beat Lao Tzu and even killed him. Don't say at the dinner table that they are against burning fire. They all light cigarettes for the elders, but unlike the elders, the younger generation is not like the younger generation ... China is everywhere. Fashionable people who have been abroad like to say: Look at the quality of foreigners. For China, this Korea not only occupies the heritage of the ancients, but also occupies the foreign moon. No wonder China people's "Ha, Han, Ha, Ri" and "Japanese Wave" swept through China, and it is not surprising.
