Tang Tang of Shang Dynasty said in the "Tang Oath" to attack Xia Jie's crimes: "There are many crimes in Xia, and God has ordered them to be punished. Now you have a large number of people, and you say: 'My queen will not show mercy to our people, and will abandon my affairs and cut off Zhengxia.
.'I have heard that the Xia family is guilty, and I fear God and dare not be unjust." King Wu of Zhou said in the "Tai Oath" to attack King Zhou of Shang: "Heaven sees me and the people see me, God listens to me and the people listen, and the people
If I have ever done it, it’s only for one person. Now I will definitely go there.”
Precisely because rulers understand the principle of obeying the destiny of the people and obeying the destiny of the people, the rulers have the idea of matching heaven with virtue. Especially the rulers of the "small country Zhou" summed up historical lessons from the demise of the "big country Shang" and further developed the Xia and Shang Dynasties.
people-oriented thinking.
For example, "Shang Shu·Zhou Shu·Cai Zhong's Ming" says: "The emperor and heaven have no relatives, only virtue is to assist them. The people's hearts are impermanent, but they are favored." The destiny of heaven does not distinguish between relatives and distances, and it only assists virtuous kings. The people's hearts are not stable.
There is no permanent master, he only surrenders to the one who loves himself.
This also became the source of the "people-oriented" thinking of later Confucianism.
In the article, Kong Yingda quoted a lot of eloquent references and expounded the concept of people's livelihood in detail. The students, Confucian scholars, officials and nobles were fascinated and reflected deeply.
Even the common people who knew a few words applauded.
Kong Yingda, the great scholar of the time, was once again speaking for the people of the world. How could he not be applauded?
Suddenly, the influence of Zhenguan Weekly was greatly enhanced.
While the family members were savoring the inner meaning and off-topic meaning of this "editorial", they were also wary of Fang Jun's movements. But what surprised them was that Fang Jun seemed to be really investing all his body and soul in this.
"Zhenguan Weekly" paid no attention to Yuan's case...
What the hell is this kid doing?
Is it really because of fear that the Yuan clan’s power has waned?
Or even if you lose everything, you still have to show off a unique style, and you have to create a flower cluster to win applause?
But no matter what everyone guessed, Fang Jun didn't make any movement at all...
A week later, the second issue of "Zhenguan Weekly" arrived as scheduled.
There is no need to remind people of the focus this time. People who buy a newspaper will first look at the "editorial" on the main page.
This time the main writer is not Kong Yingda, but his reputation is not bad at all!
Contemporary great Confucian, doctor of Taixue, Jia Gongyan!
This man's ancestral home is Yongnian, Tangzhou. He is a Confucian scholar, a Confucian scholar, and a scholar of "Three Rites". He has learned from ancient times to the present, and his talents are universal. He has written fifty volumes of "Zhou Li Yi Shu" and forty volumes of "Li Yi Shu"
, the name of the article spreads all over the world!
Jia Gongyan was proficient in "Three Rites". Not only was he responsible for the compilation of "Zhou Li Yi Shu", but he also selected the twelve volumes of Zheng Xuan's annotated version, compiled the scriptures of various schools, and expanded it into fifty volumes of "Yi Shu". The style is modeled on "Yi Shu".
"Five Classics of Justice". "Yi Li Yi Shu" was also compiled by this public, adopting the Shu of Huang Qing in the Northern Qi Dynasty and Li Mengsu in the Sui Dynasty, and made it the current version, based on Zheng Xuan's annotations.
If we just talk about the number of works, they are still higher than Kong Yingda!
And this "editorial" by Jia Gongyan is called "Morality is good governance, and politics is to support the people"...
This sentence comes from "Shangshu - Yushu·Dayu Mo".
Its original meaning is that virtuous government is good politics, and the ultimate goal of politics is to nurture the people.
However, its purpose is to spread the ideas of "the king is based on the people" and "the country is based on the people", which are thematic ideas that began with Confucius and Mencius and continued throughout the entire feudal era.
The article says that in the era of Confucius and Mencius and the two thousand years of autocratic monarchy after the Qin and Han Dynasties, although there was still the influence of the "manifest power" and "manifest destiny" theory, the relationship between the king and the people and the relationship between the people clearly emphasized the power of the people.
important role.
Confucius put forward ideological propositions such as "a benevolent person loves others", "a benevolent person loves others", "government depends on people", "government is based on virtue", "the people cannot stand without faith", "cultivate oneself to love the people", etc., which laid the foundation for the Confucian people-oriented ideological tradition.
.Mencius further put forward the propositions that "the people are the most important, the country is the second most important, and the emperor is the despotic one" and "the emperor is the emperor if he has the people," which formed the benevolent political thought tradition of "the people are the most important, the emperor is despotic" in later generations.
Mencius appreciated Tang and Wu's revolution, saying that Tang and Wu's killing of Jie and Zhou was "killing one husband". Dong Zhongshu put forward the proposition that "the right should defeat the unjust, this is the law of heaven", which illustrates the revolutionary nature of the traditional Confucian people-centered thought, that is, those who are unethical will be punished by the people.
The rationality of overthrowing and changing dynasties.
The article is rich in flowers, rigorous and neat, and every word is cardinal and penetrating.
Many people have figured out the taste...
From "the people are the foundation of the country, the foundation is the foundation of the country" to "morality is the foundation of good governance, and government is to support the people", this seems to be a bit of a blunt transition. The former is the folk customs and state affairs of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the latter is Confucius
Meng Yijiang's political trend, but the two have a common subject - putting the people first!
The Tang Dynasty conquered all directions, and although it was invincible with great martial arts, the old wounds left by the turmoil in the late Sui Dynasty had not healed. Years of wars in the south and north had added new wounds, and the population could no longer keep up with the speed of development.
The two editorials of "Zhenguan Weekly" were in line with the current social status quo and immediately resonated with people of insight from all walks of life. For a time, Guanzhong was promoting the idea of "people-oriented" everywhere, hoping that the emperor could encourage fertility and the empire could
reproduce……
An unprecedented trend of attaching importance to population vitality was quickly inspired by these two articles and gradually became a trend!
