Chapter 334: Yingnan Flowers Are Just Right (Part 1)
Chen Ke's translation of "Bamboo Chronicles" was not simply to prove the existence of the "Golden Ribbon". His real purpose was actually to subvert the scholar's utopia, the so-called "Three Generations of Rules"!
'Government of the Three Dynasties' is a concept proposed by Han Confucianism. The Three Dynasties refer to the three earliest unified regimes in China - Xia, Shang, and Zhou. Han Confucians believe that Xia, Shang, and Zhou are the three best models of governance in China.
Dynasty, the political form of the "Three Dynasties" is the most conducive to the stability of the country and the happiness of the people. The moral character and attitude of the emperors in governing the country during the "Three Dynasties" are models for later emperors. Of course, this does not include Xia Jie, Shang Zhou, and Zhou
You Wang, the three last emperors and some other fatuous kings...
Therefore, scholar-bureaucrats like to refer to the "Three Dynasties" in their words and regard it as a kind of political utopia as a reference standard for the world. They believe that as long as the monarch follows the example of the three generations of emperors, especially the "Three Kings" of Xia Yu, Shang Tang, and Zhou Wen
Moral conduct, political ideas, and all social ills will be solved.
But in fact, the "Three Dynasties", especially the Xia and Shang dynasties, do not have reliable historical records left. Therefore, the so-called "Three Dynasties" rule is largely just an imagination of the ancients. The reason for this situation is that
In addition to being too old and the historical materials being lost in wars, it is also inseparable from the contribution of a great man.
That is the legendary Master Confucius who is as high as he looks up, as strong as he drills, as he looks ahead and as soon as he is behind, wise and mighty, shining through the ages, mighty but not fierce, and a role model for all generations!
Confucius lived in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which was considered the end of the Three Dynasties. As a historian of the oldest state of Lu, he could also see the real historical materials of the Three Dynasties, and knew that the ancient times were not as simple as the legend at all, but as bloody as the court politics of later generations.
.
But Confucius saw with his eyes that the world's rituals and music were ruined, the general order was ruined, the princes were fighting endlessly, and the people were like pigs and dogs. Where could there be a happy land in the vast China?
As a disciple of the Duke of Zhou, Confucius was naturally in great pain. In order to promote the ancient "Path of the Great Way, the world is public", he compared it with the "collapse of rituals and the destruction of music" in this world, and aroused the hearts of princes to respect the king and restore rituals, and he did not hesitate to tamper with ancient history.
Doing "one word of praise", "taboo for the venerable", etc. is the legendary "Spring and Autumn Writing Technique"!
No matter what Confucius's original intention was at that time, the so-called "history is written by the victors" and "history is a little girl who can be dressed up" were all learned from him. The truth of history was arbitrarily modified according to people's needs.
Tampered, altered beyond recognition...
That's why Confucius sighed in pain: "Those who know me are only in the Spring and Autumn Period! Those who offend me are only in the Spring and Autumn Period!"
But no matter what, the so-called rule of the three generations is actually a utopia that Confucius beautified in order to guide people to be good. Later, it gradually became a haven for people to escape from reality when they could not solve their problems. It also evolved to hinder all reforms and changes.
stumbling block!
It is no lie to say that the Spring and Autumn style of writing misled me about China...
The "Bamboo Book Annals" is a chronological history book unearthed from the tomb of King Anli of Wei during the Western Jin Dynasty, so it was able to avoid the book burning movement caused by Qin Shihuang's order. It records important events from the Xia Dynasty to the Warring States Period.
The translation of historical events was successful, and the bloody coups and military conflicts that occurred in the Xia Dynasty to the Warring States period were displayed in front of people without reservation, and the impact caused can be imagined.
For example, the famous Confucian passage "Yi Yin sent Taijia to Tonggong" said that the Shang King Taijia was immoral and was sent to Tonggong by Prime Minister Yiyin. Taijia reformed in three years, and Yiyin welcomed him as emperor.
The government was returned to the state. After Taijia was restored to power, he accepted his lesson painfully and became a saintly king who was diligent, loved the people, and worked hard to govern. In the story described by Confucius, Yi Yin was upright and upright, and Taijia's prodigal son turned back. They are both models for all generations. The harmony is incredible.
.
However, according to the "Bamboo Chronicles" - Yi Yin exiled Taijia and proclaimed himself king. Seven years later, Taijia sneaked back and killed Yiyin who had usurped the throne. He also appointed Yiyin's sons Yizhi and Yifen as successors.
The Yi family... how can there be any sage and sage? It’s not the same conspiracy and violence!
Therefore, "Chronicles of Bamboo Books" is not only an impact on people's historical knowledge, but also a shakedown of the "Three Generations of Rules" utopia constructed by Confucianism!
It is to shake. It is not to destroy. After all, Chen Ke does not know where the "Tsinghua Slips" are buried. He cannot provide evidence for the "Bamboo Chronicle". In history, there is no independent evidence... and those scholar-bureaucrats who have studied Confucianism all their lives
How can we give up our faith so easily and deny our ancestors? How is that different from self-denial or even self-destruction?
This is indeed the case. After being unearthed, the "Bamboo Book Annals" was passed down for more than 600 years and was finally lost in the Southern Song Dynasty. The reason is completely conceivable. After its content was translated, it greatly conflicted with the Confucian historiography system.
Naturally, Confucians regarded it as a heresy and spared no effort to annihilate it!
But Chen Ke used a very clever trick to silence the scholar-bureaucrats collectively - he proved with irrefutable research that "Shang Shu" was a forgery. He tied the basis for the existence of the Jin Dynasty to the "Bamboo Book Annals"
above, and then connected with the justice inherited from the imperial line of the Song Dynasty.
Unless the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty could find other evidence to prove that the Jin Dynasty was indeed real, no one would dare to say that the "Bamboo Book Annals" is not even half a word.
Moreover, historically, the loss of "Bamboo Chronicles" occurred in the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, Ercheng's Neo-Confucianism had been carried forward by Zhu Xi, and Confucianism basically unified the world, and it was qualified for Shunchang to rebel. However, in the Northern Song Dynasty, Confucianism was in chaos.
, the autumn of the mountains also gives the so-called heretics room to survive.
Chen Ke hopes that this book, in conjunction with his denial of "Shangshu", will shake people's understanding of the three ancient dynasties. He only needs to tear a hole and insert a wedge, and he can take the opportunity to reinterpret the classics and construct a new chapter for the Song Dynasty.
A new ideological system is coming! Overthrow the damn Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism!
However, he also knew that going too far was not enough, so he just taught the great Confucians of this era the key to deciphering the "Bamboo Chronicles", and let them discover the completely different real world! Without realizing how terrible this thing was
Before, no one could refuse this invitation, and Long Changqi was no exception...
In the end, the old man was saved by a group of young people from his hometown. Although he did not accept the fifth-rank official position granted by the imperial court, he agreed to participate in the compilation of "Bamboo Book Annals" as a commoner. Chen Ke wanted to empty his outer residence.
After he came out, Mr. Zuo stayed in the capital for his nursing home, but was rejected by Long Changqi.
It is impossible for Mr. Long to have no resentment towards Chen Ke, but when he saw that the other party, as a close minister of the emperor and a respected Confucian, he apologized to him so politely, saved his face, and prescribed medicine for himself. The human heart is made of flesh, and a
If the younger generation can achieve this step, how can he, an old man, continue to be cold-blooded?
So the reason why the old gentleman refused was that he liked the excitement, and living in the guild hall would allow him to get closer to his fellow countrymen and younger generations. It didn’t stop Chen Ke from coming to Taiwan...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This level has passed." On the way back, Chen Ke breathed a long sigh of relief on the carriage.
"You have really changed," Su Che said with a smile: "In the past, I would never have suffered this humiliation."
"If you want to do things, you can't just follow your temper. You have to be coiled up even if you're a dragon, and you have to lie down even if you're a tiger. If you show your teeth and claws all day long, you can't do serious things." Chen Ke looked at Su Shi and said, "This also means that you
Woolen cloth……"
"Hey..." Su Shi smiled sheepishly. After returning to the capital and joining the cultural circle, Su Zizhan, who was extremely talented, was naturally at home. Every day, he was in a state of drunkenness and indulgence, displaying his endless talents.
Enjoying the respect of all previous actions.
Different from those aloof talents before him, although Su Shi was as elegant as Li Taibai and more agile than Cao Zijian, he had a peaceful temperament, a heroic manner, and was frank and kind to others. Therefore, he soon had countless fans in the capital, whether they were scholars, literati, or singers.
Musicians and musicians all really loved this great talent.
Especially since Chen Ke was planning to change to a prudent academic route, he basically no longer patronized the business of famous prostitutes, and rarely wrote poems and lyrics. No one competed with Da Su for the title of the leader of the romantic class. In fact, he also
I met a famous prostitute whom I knew well in the past and wrote a post inviting me and my uncle to visit her.
Chen Ke couldn't help but secretly lamented that the changes in Bianjing's romance were so fast. It had only been a few years since he had stayed away from Mazhangtai, but he was already being used as a lure by prostitutes...
Chen Ke was not jealous at all, because his uncle was already a shining emperor and superstar, how could his light be obscured by him? It was just that he occasionally heard that Su Shi spoke freely and acted wildly outside, and was quite complacent, so he reminded him
.
But when Su Shi was blooming with flowers and cooking oil in the fire, he thought, how could life be so beautiful? What he was worried about was whether he should go to Cuiwei Juyun Xianer's appointment tonight, or go to the Bianhe River Boat to pay tribute to Master Zhang.
Portrait will not listen to Chen Ke's advice...
Just as Chen Ke was about to say a few words to his mother-in-law, the carriage stopped. Chen Yi opened the curtain and said, "Sir, everyone is outside."
"You guys should go back first." After Chen Ke came back from Liao Kingdom, he had been busy dealing with the Yue families on both sides and almost forgot about this beauty.
Amid the strange laughter of the Su brothers, Chen Ke got off the carriage and saw Qimei'er wearing a gorgeous eight-piece Luo skirt with dozens of fine pleats around her waist, each pleat a different color, which was elegantly matched.
It is also unique. The one or two inches wide part of the skirt is rolled with bright red lace, which looks very eye-catching. She also combs her hair in a unique high bun, with a bright red rose inserted diagonally on it, and she stands pretty
On the street, it eclipses everything around it.
Qimei'er, as usual, with a charming smile on her face, nodded gently towards Chen Ke.
"I didn't expect to meet you here." Chen Ke walked over.
"It's not a coincidence. I came here to wait for the young master." Qimei'er smiled and took his arm. Chen Ke's arm froze for a moment, and then returned to normal.
But this time, the sensitive woman felt it. She retracted her hand sadly and said: "I forgot about the identity of the young master. Today is different from the past..."
