7. In the north, there are nobles who are peerless and independent
Liaodong is a magical land.☆→,
In the turbulent era of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a rare spectacle appeared here.
Well, if it weren't for a damn little butterfly, the scene here would indeed be called a strange place.
"The emperor is shocked when he comes out, and he is in harmony with Xun, and when he meets, he is separated. When he serves, he is Kun, when he speaks, he is honored, when he fights, he works hard, when he works hard, when he speaks, he becomes Gen..."
"The emperor is shocked when he comes out, and he is in harmony with Xun, and when he meets, he is separated. When he serves, he is Kun, when he speaks, he is honored, when he fights, he works hard, when he works hard, when he speaks, he becomes Gen..."
The sound of reading reverberates in this beautiful valley. From time to time, farmers working out will pass by here, and they will unconsciously slow down their steps. Occasionally, they will stop for a moment, listen to a few words of reading, and then take the lead. He left with a satisfied smile on his face, and his steps seemed to become lighter with this smile from the heart.
This is a hilly area located southeast of Xiangping, the seat of Liaodong County. It was originally sparsely populated. Only in certain specific seasons would hunters or mountain people appear, looking for gifts from nature in the mountains.
However, with the continuous chaos in the Central Plains, Liaodong, a place just across the sea from Qingzhou, has an influx of large numbers of refugees. Some of them are natives of Qingzhou, some come from Xuzhou or Yanzhou, some bring their families, and some of being alone.
Although the imperial court continued to use various methods to control this large-scale population flow, one incident after another caused the imperial court's ruling system to continue to collapse, and eventually became a piece of paper under the impact of the continuous generation of refugees.
Perhaps those powerful families have far more control over their tenants than this country.
Some people go from the south to the cold north, and some people go from the north to the hot and humid south. This may be in response to the classic old saying - trees die when they move, people live when they move. Only movement can maintain sufficient vitality. This is not just a property of water.
By the way, it is well known that the countries in the Central Plains have never been very thirsty for the sea. The earliest naval battle in the Central Plains Dynasty recognized in modern society was the Bai Cun River or the Battle of Baijiang Mouth during the Tang Dynasty. The Confucian general Liu Rengui used a hearty victory to create a proper name called "the envoy to the Tang Dynasty".
This situation occurred mainly because compared with the European Mediterranean, which had to rely on maritime trade due to its terrain, the vast land hinterland of the Central Plains Dynasty made sea and land trade insignificant. Only in another dimension of history, the Southern Song Dynasty At that time, the overland Silk Road channel was almost completely blocked, and the core area in the north was completely lost. Only then did we have to ask for help from the sea, which eventually became the beginning of large-scale ocean trade for the Central Plains Dynasty.
But even so, it cannot be said that the Central Plains Dynasty did not have maritime trade and ocean transportation at all.
In fact, according to modern research, the water route from the Jiaodong Peninsula to the Liaodong Peninsula did not even appear later than the one around the Bohai Sea. Even compared to the seemingly endless ocean, the poor traffic conditions of the Liaoxi Corridor are even more frustrating. People are troubled.
Therefore, it can be said that from Huang County, Donglai County (which is today's Penglai boundary) to Dashi County at the southern end of Liaodong County (which is today's Dalian boundary), it can be said that it has become a relatively mature route in the Han Dynasty and has become an important link between the Central Plains and Liaodong. sea lanes.
The business travelers traveling on this route not only have an extremely detailed understanding of the sea conditions and climate in this area. They also use the Salmon Islands, which are modernly known as the Temple Island Islands or Changdao Islands, to conduct research on this route.
Positioning ensures that sea-going ships can accurately reach the ports of Liaodong or Donglai under normal circumstances.
It is worth mentioning that Changshan Island in the Salmon Islands is likely to be the legendary "Three Sacred Mountains" in ancient China: Penglai, Yingzhou and Penglai Fairy Island in Abbot.
"The place where the dojo of the Jie Cult leader Tongtian Cult is located.
What needs to be reminded here is that in today's China, if we talk about Changshan Island, it can be divided into four Changshan Islands, north and south, of which the north and south Changshan Islands are under the jurisdiction of Yantai Changdao County. The big and small Changshan Islands are
It is under the jurisdiction of Changhai County, Dalian, and is the core island of the Changshan Archipelago. It is located in the northern waters of the Yellow Sea on the east side of the Liaodong Peninsula. If the drawings had not been leaked, it would have been almost converted into a submarine base after the Sino-Soviet Zhenbao Island War, instead of the current network.
The holy land of box culture.
The North and South Changshan Islands are national aa-level tourist attractions. The big and small Changshan Islands are aaa-level tourist attractions. The scenery is great, but friends who want to travel must not be dazzled by it, as the results are completely different.
Because this sea route is not an extremely dangerous unknown road, when great turmoil broke out in the Central Plains region, countless people used this sea route to reach Liaodong across the sea, bringing a considerable population to Liaodong.
, technology, and naturally there are talents from all walks of life. In fact, in the history of another dimension, Taishi Ci once took refuge in Liaodong.
For this primitive hilly area that was originally unpopular, it has also changed due to this wave of refugees.
What initially caused the change was just a seemingly ordinary person.
This is a very tall man. He is eight feet tall and has a thick and smooth black long straight beard. He looks extremely elegant whether he is walking or talking, but those who interact with him cannot feel the aristocratic family in him at all.
The powerful person always has a sense of superiority, although he doesn't like to be cheerful.
He smiles, but when he listens to others quietly, he always slightly raises the corners of his mouth and leans forward slightly. He seems to be able to listen patiently and carefully to the words of the person he is talking to. And the more ordinary people are, the richer they are.
The friendly smile will become softer and softer, allowing you to relax and talk to him with an open heart.
He came from Zhuxu across the sea. His parents died at a young age and his family was very poor. It can be said that if the locals had not taken pity on him, he might not have been able to afford the money to bury his parents.
In addition to the money, he returned all the remaining money to the villagers, leaving only their concern which gradually turned into a grateful heart.
He was a learned scholar, and he practiced the ways of the sages he had learned - he did not live in the most prosperous city in Liaodong in a luxurious residence built by the Gongsun family who ruled here, but came to this most primitive land.
Among the hills, he carved out mountains and split forests, and he cultivated the land here leisurely. Occasionally, the mountain people passing by here could hear his own folk songs.
His voice is average, but it is full of energy. When he sings, he has a different flavor. People can easily feel that the singing comes from his heart and expresses his feelings about this rural life.
of satisfaction.
He is a learned man, which is well-known in his hometown of Qingzhou. A young man whose parents have both died is able to take the initiative to travel around the world, or be humble and observant in his hometown. Such a person is outstanding even in this chaotic era.
Still attracting attention,
That figure like the bright moon is sought after. People regard him as the purest destination of the soul, as a rare pure land in this dirty era. Even the ambitious princes have to bow down and stand up high in front of him.
A head with nostrils pointing upward.
As a result, people from his homeland who were familiar with him continued to come to him.
He will neither take the initiative to help these people, nor will he drive them away, just like a bystander. He quietly looks at these villagers from his hometown who speak with similar accents. Like him, these people have to leave their hometown and come to a foreign land.
The end of the world has become a human being.
He is a spectator, but he is more than just a spectator.
As before, he would work at sunrise and rest at sunset. In his free time, he would read the precious books brought from the south in the fields and under the shade of trees. They were all given by his elders during his study tour.
Sponsored. Copied by myself.
Every time I see these precious handwritten books, I will think of my experience during my study tour. Maybe I experienced a lot of difficulties at the beginning, but looking back now, I not only feel that it is a rare memory, but also makes him feel like he is in this strange land far away from his homeland.
To be able to continue to survive, instead of becoming the mistletoe he saw on the beach that could only cling to others.
The words on the books are all in neat official script, with beautiful fonts, squares in circles. They are neat and orderly, so that people can easily identify the contents of the book at a glance. This beautiful calligraphy is what he used to do when he was writing.
He practiced it while studying under Chen Shi, the head of the Chen family in Yingchuan. Even though he only received a few occasional instructions from this famous scholar, he felt that he had benefited a lot.
He didn't do anything unnecessary, but his behavior was like a standard. All new people here must abide by the standard. Everyone may not be able to be as calm and elegant as him, but for him because of him.
For the villagers who took refuge here because of the existence of the country, imitate him and learn from him, and then in this imitation and learning, they can reach the pure land they pursue in their hearts.
Although I am alone overseas, I have found peace in my heart for a long time.
Peaches and plums make their own mistakes without saying anything.
He never said anything. When people asked, he would patiently give answers. However, he became the recognized master here. Under his example, the villagers gradually became courteous and polite. Even if they were really
Whenever there was a dispute, they would all stop fighting in front of his ordinary mud house, humbly give in to each other, and then all return home with red faces, never mentioning the dispute again.
This place has gradually become a paradise for villagers living abroad.
The mountain, which was originally a bit lonely, has now become lively.
It's just that he knows that people's hearts are complicated.
When there are few people, just relying on your own actions can influence them, making them respect their behavior as a "pioneer" and follow suit. But when more people gather here, when the people who come to settle here are no longer just
In order to pursue his beautiful virtues, the most important thing is that the large number of villages has made it difficult for the newly settled people to directly see his elegant and polite daily behaviors. The role of teaching by example becomes very important.
of limited.
Be prepared for danger in times of peace.
Although it seems that people still maintain their respect for him and try to abide by the certain rules that he did not set in words, such inaction will not be able to manage an increasingly large population. Once the accumulated problems are detonated, the consequences will be
It would be unimaginable.
He is a man of foresight. Just as he noticed the instability in the Central Plains and chose to leave his hometown, this time he also had a premonition of the coming crisis.
Teach by words and deeds.
This is the best summary of education, and in this word, words are placed before teaching by example.
In fact, this is normal, because the original purpose of language was to communicate information. Compared with physical behavior, language that has been used by humans for thousands of years is obviously more conducive to communication between people. In fact
For the vast majority of people, unless they cannot communicate in language, they will try to use other methods, which shows the importance of language in communication.
Through language, he can inform nearby villagers of his thoughts and hopes. He can also use language to spread the sage's way among the villagers, and then use his own personal practice as a supplement to let everyone know the specifics of the sage's way.
What does it look like in daily life?
If there are only words to teach but no examples, then the content of the words will have no carrier and will not be convincing. And if there are no words to teach but only words to teach, then in the end only a few people can see it and only a few people can experience it. For this has become a
In a bustling place, after all, it is impossible to make everyone understand the truth by teaching alone, and some people may even turn a blind eye to his daily behavior.
And this may also be the meaning of the existence of issuing orders.
Tell everyone the right things. Warn everyone not to do incorrect behavior, and then practice the correct principles yourself. Only then can he stop or even punish someone when they do wrong behavior.
Teaching by words and deeds has become urgent for this settlement.
As a result, the quietest and noisiest place in this lively settlement was built.
That is the only private school in this settlement, and he is the only teacher here.
In fact, the private school could have had more teachers. If he had not chosen to settle here.
Whether it was a forward-looking move or just a helpless move. In short, because of the extremely destructive Yellow Turban Rebellion, not only the powerful children of the aristocratic families who came to Liaodong, but also the outstanding people from the poor families.
a lot of,
The Gongsun family, who is rooted here and has great ambitions, will naturally not miss the opportunity to invite them - even if one of his expansion hands to the Central Plains is blocked by Gongsun Zan and the other is repelled by Yuan Tan. But in Liaodong
It’s okay to be a local emperor for a term.
At least Fuyu and Goguryeo were no match for the Gongsun clan.
However, Gongsun's stronghold in Qingzhou was defeated by Yuan Tan, and all the forces were expelled across the sea by Yuan Tan. Liu Yi, the governor of Yingzhou who was cited by Gongsun Du as his right-hand man, was probably nothing more than a second-rate figure.
Precisely because he knew this very clearly, Gongsun Du, who wanted to be the "King of Liaodong", actively recruited those scholars from the Central Plains, hoping that they could serve in the Gongsun family of Liaodong and contribute to his cause of kingship.
Although they live in a foreign country, how can the separatist forces in the border areas catch the eyes of those far-sighted scholars? They came to the border areas just to avoid the war. As long as the situation in the Central Plains is stable, they will return to their hometowns.
It is for this reason that many people did not choose to live in Xiangping, but came to Dashi and Pingguo areas in the south.
He is the only one who doesn't seem to have a strong desire to return to his hometown, but for most people, they are still more willing to believe that this is due to the Gongsun family's confinement of him, and are unwilling to let an outstanding talent like him leave.
Some despicable means were adopted.
No matter what the truth is, unlike the vast majority of Beidu gentry living in the south of Liaodong County, the place where he settled is in the north of Liaodong County, which is not far from Xiangping, the seat of Liaodong. It is completely acceptable for a Gongsun family
within the range.
In his private school, children of appropriate age can get the opportunity to study for free. Even adults can stand aside and listen at any time if they are willing. If they are understanding and wise adults, they can also study with the children.
When he has free time, he will also set up a large lecture hall in an open place to tell the villagers the ways of sages.
Or to be more precise, it is more like his understanding of life. I don’t expect everyone to be as poor and happy as he is, but from a certain perspective, such a code of conduct has evolved into this settlement.
Overall code of conduct to be observed.
There is no road on earth, but it becomes a road when there are many people walking on it.
There was no village in the valley, but as more people gathered here, it became a new village under regulations.
The most conspicuous thing in this village is the east end of the village. There is a large ancestral hall there, which is usually used as a venue for teaching students, and during important times, it is used as a place to hold various festivals.
place.
Gradually, the villagers have become accustomed to the sound of reading here almost every day, and have gradually become accustomed to coming here from time to time, perhaps to take a look at his calm and elegant figure as a teacher, or to listen to something.
Listen to the easy-to-understand principles he teaches, or just to learn a few more words and show off to your neighbors while resting in the fields.
In order to prevent their children from delaying his lectures, many children had to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads from nearby villages to come here before dawn. Those villages also emerged after he settled here, just like many other children.
Star Guards also surround the village where he is located, and they may not fully abide by the behavioral norms set by him, but the villagers are also quite harmonious.
This is all due to his accumulated words and deeds over time.
Of course, it is also a spontaneous protection by the villagers for the people they admire and respect.
It can be said with certainty that he is the well-deserved leader of tens of thousands of people in more than ten villages within a radius of tens of miles here.
It looks like a kingdom of its own, but no one dares to invade it.
"Life is what I want; righteousness is what I want. You can't have both. You have to sacrifice life for righteousness."
"Life is what I want; righteousness is what I want. You can't have both. You have to sacrifice life for righteousness."
"Okay, that's it for this lesson."
Usually the study time is only half a day. In the afternoon, the children need to go back to help the family with some work they can. The older children have even picked up bows and arrows, and follow their fathers or uncles to hunt in the mountains, or go to the mountains and forests to collect.
Some precious medicinal materials or mountain delicacies will become the food they need to survive, and most of the output will be sent to Xiangping City, the most prosperous city in Liaodong, and then exchanged for the food that will allow them to continue to survive.
Necessary supplies.
And he will use this time to manage the fields he has opened up, or meet with his friends who are still stranded in the north.
Of course, now he has turned to tending the fields as a leisurely pleasure. The simple villagers don't know how to repay this man who not only provided them with a paradise-like place to live, but also gave their next generation a chance to change their destiny.
Men, whether it was local specialties or gold, silver, and silk given to this man, the former would occasionally accept a little bit of less valuable vegetables or bacon as study fees, while the latter would be completely returned to the villagers intact.
.
So helping this respectable teacher manage his land became a spontaneous behavior among the villagers.
This spontaneous act of gratitude from the simple villagers has been going on all the time in the past few years. He always told the villagers that he did not need such help at all. The land he opened was not much, and it was enough to support himself.
He is not the kind of greedy person, so he does not need help from others. Even if he occasionally needs to work hard, he feels that only when he tastes the fruits of the harvest can he feel satisfied and happy.
It's a pity that even he has to accept this kind of well-intentioned "**" in the face of these enthusiastic villagers.
Oh, by the way, the man who brought such magical changes to this land is called Guan Ning.
Guan Ning and Guan Youan were from Zhuxu County, Beihai County, and now they live on the land across the sea in Liaodong.
He had experienced so much during his study tour that he no longer had much enthusiasm for this era. Just like Hu Kongming who lived in Bingzhou, they did not pursue fame and fortune very much, and even if fame and fortune came to them, they would often reject it.
decline.
Their moral character is noble. Although they were born in this dirty world, they are still able to preserve their noble hearts. They are truly "out of the mud but not stained, and in the clear ripples without being evil." They can be called this
A rare conscience in a decadent era.
It is precisely because of the existence of this person.
The Sanhan and Hao people in the south are constantly harassing Lelang County. Goguryeo and Fuyu are encroaching on Xuantu County and are also sharpening their swords against Liaodong. The Karasuma people in the Liaodong vassal state in the west are also ready to make moves. But in such an environment
Here, in the hills south of Xiangping, there is still a paradise hidden, a true paradise. (To be continued...)
