Thoughts after reading Chapter 10 and Chapter 20 of "A Brief History of Ancient China"

After listening to Teacher Zhang Fan's History of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, I decided to buy his "A Brief History of Ancient China". I have read Chapters 10-12 in the past two days, and I have gained quite a lot of insights based on what I had heard in Qin Hui's "History of the Qin and Han Dynasties" and Yan Buke's "Ancient Chinese Politics and Culture". Ancient Chinese history underwent historic changes during the Zhou and Qin Dynasties. Qin Hui called it the "Change of Zhou and Qin". According to Zhang's book, there are roughly the following items: In terms of land system, the rural commune public ownership system has been transformed to the state land grant system. That is to say, the well fields were abandoned, the streets were opened, and family farmers began to appear in common. In terms of political sectors, there was a shift from the feudal system to the county system. That is to say, the princes were cut off and counties were established. In terms of national governance, there was a shift from patriarchal system to bureaucracy. That is, the hereditary system of nobility should be abolished and officials should be appointed by the monarch. Therefore Han Feizi said that the officials of the Ming Dynasty, the prime ministers must be from the state department, and the fierce generals must be sent from the soldiers. Previously, it was believed that this move focused on the experience of the grassroots, but it was unknown that its original intention was that humerus ministers were no longer hereditary from the nobles, but focused more on performance. In terms of culture and thought, the feudal patriarchal etiquette system turned to the integration of Confucianism and Legalism, and the overlord and Taoism.

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a turning point. Implement the policy of favor to weaken the princes, appoint cruel officials to attack the powerful, separate states and ministries to strengthen management and control, unify the currency, salt and iron official business, and wine monopoly to enrich the national strength.

Look at the section on literature and art in the late Warring States Period, discussing Qu Yuan’s Li Sao.

Suddenly I remembered that I had seen the Ming Dynasty a few years ago, and I was sailing on the banks of the Xin'an River. I floated on the bank of the Xin'an River and chanted: "Floating on the head of the summer water and heading west, looking back I can't see the gate and wall of my motherland. It's hard for the people of Huaiyi to express the sadness in my heart." Come on, the road is long and I don’t know where to go? Take advantage of the wind and waves to cross the river and the sea, the water is vast and the world is full of sorrow!

A couplet: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. 10. What is Hengbiao - Baidu

The first couplet: 2345, the second couplet: 6789, Hengbiao: North and South couplets Story: Lu Meng was the prime minister in the early Northern Song Dynasty. He was an official and was a generous man. He is outspoken to his superiors and tolerant to his subordinates. Although he is a very popular minister, who would have thought that in his early years he was a poor scholar who could not even afford to eat? "Han Kiln Ode" begins with the sentence "Heaven has unexpected events, and people have misfortunes and blessings." This poem was later called one of the "Four Great Essays" by the world, which shows Lu Mengzheng's talent and learning. Unparalleled in ancient and modern times.

Judging from his family background, Lu Mengzheng was actually not poor. This can be seen from the fact that his father Lu Guitu had many wives and concubines. It is precisely because of this that This led to his fate of poverty in his early years. Although Lu Mengzheng's mother was the wife, she had a strong temperament, so she was jealous of other concubines. Kicked out of the house and living on the street, it is said that in order to survive, Lu Meng was living in a dilapidated cave dwelling.

In order to have a chance to stutter, he even went to the temple to hide his face. After eating fast, he was unceremoniously told off by the monk and felt ashamed. With this experience, it is no wonder that he was able to write the ancient poem "Han Kiln Ode". There are many deeds in his life, and there are also many anecdotes. There are countless rumors, most of which reflect his talents.

Take our traditional festival "Spring Festival" as an example. Posting couplets during the New Year has been a tradition in our country since ancient times. People who were literate in ancient times. There were not many people, so during festivals, literate people would often be asked to write couplets for them, and those poor scholars who could not take the blame could use this time to make some money to support their families. Although Lu Mengzheng did not record writing for others. But it is said that he wrote a couplet for his family during a Chinese New Year. The first couplet is: two, three, four, five, and the second couplet is: six, seven, eighty-nine. It attracted many people to come and watch, and they all speculated on the meaning of the couplet. < /p>

I believe many people have heard of this couplet. It is a "missing word couplet". There is a "one" missing in the first couplet and a "ten" missing in the second couplet. According to the homophones Look, it means "short of food and clothing". Since it is a couplet, how can it lack horizontal comment? Personally, I think the horizontal comment of this couplet is the finishing touch. Many people regard "lack of food and clothing" as the horizontal comment of this couplet. In fact, This is a big fallacy. The most important thing about a couplet is the deep meaning hidden in it. It was originally a good allegorical couplet, but the "answer" was directly stated in the horizontal batch. Isn't it disappointing? And this horizontal batch only has two words? "Bei Nan" means that not only does he lack food and clothing, but his home is also empty and there is nothing.

The origin of this couplet is also controversial. One theory is that it was written by Lu Mengzheng, and the other is that Zheng Banqiao was out on business and saw it in front of a poor family. food emergency, but which one is the reality has not yet been determined. Couplets are a major feature of Chinese literature. Often the simplest sentences contain very profound meanings, which makes people clap their hands and shout: How wonderful! .

The "Origin" of "The Thousand-Character Classic": It is said that there were several versions of "The Thousand-Character Classic" in history. For example, Zhong Yao of the Han Dynasty and Xiao Zifan of the Southern and Northern Dynasties all had the same works published, but they were later lost.

The "Thousand Character Essay" we see today was written by Zhou Xingsi during the period of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty. It is said that Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, particularly admired Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. He once asked an attendant named Yin Tieshi to make a thousand inscriptions on Wang Xizhi's original calligraphy, which was praised by the world as "floating like a wandering dragon and as graceful as a startled snake". Different characters are used for observing and learning.

However, due to the lack of organic connection in content, these words were messy and difficult to memorize. So he found his admired minister Zhou Xingsi and entrusted him with the important task of organizing these thousand words into one. This is an easy-to-understand enlightenment reading, and requires that in addition to not using repeated words, it must also use rhyme and pay attention to smoothness. After Zhou Xingsi received the decree, he worked all night. After repeated deliberation, successive calculations, and constant permutations and combinations, he finally completed this immortal work that can be regarded as an eternal masterpiece just before dawn.

Due to all the hard work and overuse of his brain, Zhou Xingsi’s hair turned white overnight. However, his efforts were rewarded: for more than a thousand years, "The Thousand-Character Classic" was respected by the world as a classic of elementary school.

He himself was promoted and rewarded by Emperor Wu of Liang. (Another theory is that Zhou Xingsi violated the criminal law, and Emperor Wu punished him to write an article in a thousand different characters to avoid his guilt) "The Thousand-Character Essay" begins with "Heaven and Earth are Xuanhuang" and ends with "Yanzai Huye" .
