Chapter 5630 Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness in China
Hearing this, Hei Pao sighed: "So that's it, and it's true that it's true if you think about it carefully. In ancient times, there were many princes in the world and they were not subordinate to each other. From Huangdi, he began to conquer all directions and make the surrounding tribes surrender, but it was only based on the powerful.
Based on force, even after the Yanhuang Tribal Alliance defeated Sanmiao and Jiuli, its sphere of influence was only in the two sides of the Yellow River, a very small area. Most tribes and countries in the world still do their own things and are not subject to restrictions.
, even tribute won’t come.”
"By the period of Zhuanxu and Emperor Ku, it had actually experienced more than two dynasties, spanning thousands of years. Due to the influence of the great flood, its appeal and leadership for the princes and states in the world were not as good as that of Emperor Yao, until Emperor Yao.
After ascending the throne and establishing the ancient Tang Dynasty, the princes of the world began to pay tribute slowly and submit to the emperor of the Central Plains dynasty. Of course, in Confucianism, this is because Yao and Emperor Shun of the Yu Dynasty later had the virtue of a king.
, it can convince the princes of the world and be willing to come to the court."
Dou Peng sneered: "It's just a lie made up by later Confucians to build ancient times into an ideal country. Emperor Yao himself had his virtues declined in his later years. The concubines and son wanted to seize power, which attracted the Guifang tribe.
Under the guidance of the Shimao Tribe, the ancient Tang Dynasty actually perished, and it would be said that it was abdication. If we had not been exposed to the truth of history in the Heavenly Dao Alliance, we would not know how many years would we have to deceive. The so-called benevolence is nothing more than
Advanced technology, powerful army, and the four barbarians want
We must live a stable farming life in the Central Plains dynasty and submit, but as long as they have the chance, they still want to rebel and replace it. The most sinister thing in the world is the hearts of the people, and the most difficult thing to argue is loyalty and treacherous, those who come to the distance to surrender.
If the alien tribes do not break up the tribes and let them disperse them to various areas and cities where the main tribes live, then after they learn the techniques of the Central Plains dynasty and have strong military strength,
There is a chance to rebel.”
Black Rou nodded and said seriously: "Not mentioning the period of ancient kings, even Jin State was the state of Jin that eventually led to the Five Barbarians? The only lesson we learned from history is that we
These lessons will be repeated."
The ancestor smiled and said, "It seems that the two venerables still need to cultivate their minds and nourish their energy. They only saw the rebellion of foreign tribes and barbarians, and they did not see that these foreign barbarians would become China after they were successfully integrated.
A clan will increase our population, occupy more places, expand into the distance. In ancient dynasties such as Xia and Shang dynasties, there were only Central Plains, a small part of Guanzhong and Bingzhou, half of Hebei, and half of Qingzhou, and finally arrived.
At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the princes who were enfeoffed from all directions captured thousands of miles of rivers that started from Wuling in the south, to the grassland in the north, to Longyou in the west, and to the east. If you rely solely on the so-called Chinese people, not on the princes of the foreign countries who were enfeoffed.
, So how can we do this?"
Dou Peng said in a deep voice: "That's true, if it is a foreign country, its race is different from China, just like the Guifang tribe. They have white skin and blue eyes, and they are not the same as the Chinese tribe. Then do you
Is the place where these alien races that temporarily endowed the Central Plains emperors, is it ours? How to determine whether the Chinese race was conquered and destroyed, or the Chinese races merged, conquered other alien races and expanded the world?"
The ancestor pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, if we want to distinguish it by race or even culture, it is not easy to make a conclusion about the difference between the barbarians and the Xia. It is like Huangdi and Yandi, who are from outside.
The tribe constitutes the main body of the Chinese clan. The Yanhuang Alliance is recognized as the origin of the Chinese clan. What about the Sanmiao and Jiuli before? To talk about the indigenous people, they are, because they can't defeat the Yanhuang tribe, and the leader was
The tribes were killed, and the tribes were expelled. In the end, the tribes who remained could only surrender to the tribes such as Yanhuang and become ruled tribes?"
Dou Peng shook his head: "But the Guifang tribe's military power is also very powerful, why didn't it succeed? After several times, he was beaten back by the Central Plains China and did not become a ruling dynasty like India or Assyria. This is again
What's going on?"
The ancestor smiled and said, "Because the Central Plains region depends not only on military conquest and victory. If you want to rule for a long time, it depends on the will of the people. Strong force can conquer for a while, but not for a lifetime, because of military
Powerfulness always leads to weakening, just like on the grassland, its prosperity and its demise is sudden, because the military will not always be strong, and it will often become weak due to the struggle for power and profit of the upper nobles, which will make others
The forces with little difference in military technology will take the opportunity to replace them."
"So, the ancestors of the Chinese clan defined the definition of going from Yi to Xia during thousands of years of war and rule. They did not distinguish China by blood or by tribe, but by values, culture and technology. As long as they were accepted
Since ancient times, based on the values of benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety, no matter where they come from, they can enter the Central Plains and become the common rule of the world, because this theory is suitable for rule, especially for the rule of farming civilization."
The black robe frowned: "But according to this standard, the Shang Dynasty could not be considered loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. This set is more like the Taoist theory of righteous cultivation of immortality. The Shang Dynasty requires people to sacrifice to ancestors and gods.
The word benevolence and righteousness cannot be said."
The ancestor said seriously: "The Black Robe Venerable still has some misunderstandings about our Shang Dynasty. To put it bluntly, the sacrifices of the Shang Dynasty are a kind of loyalty and filial piety. The descendants of later generations defeated the enemy and defeated the enemy with the blessing of their ancestors.
Captives are sacrificed to ancestors and gods as sacrifices to supplement their magic power consumption. This is a manifestation of loyalty and filial piety. As for you, it is because after the late Da Shang Dynasty, there were more and more gods to worship the ancestors, even if
It is an ordinary gentry and aristocrat, and he also has to worship his ancestors in his family. This will cause the number and scale of human lives to grow larger and larger, so that the Shang Dynasty gradually regarded human lives as the most important and urgently needed tribute.
Gradually, it became a great Shang Dynasty that wanted to be enemies of the whole world. In the eyes of the world, it was an evil and terrible empire that used living people to worship ghosts and gods. However, before the Chengtang period to the Wuding period, the Shang Dynasty was not
in this way."
Dou Peng nodded: "Yes, Cheng Tang would rather sacrifice himself to sacrifice himself than harm the people. Even if it was a saint king of slaves, if the kings of the Shang Dynasty were like Cheng Tang from generation to generation, they would not be able to do so.
It will be like that in the eyes of future generations. In my opinion, these Shang kings during the Nine-Year Rebellion went to war against the Dongyi tribe in order to find salt for the living people, and this behavior was even more important than
For divination, it is much better to use people to sacrifice to ghosts and gods." (The end of this chapter)
