1, it's far across the country, and you know it's difficult. Why use the dead Zheng to accompany your neighbors? Neighbors are thick, gentlemen are thin.

It means: it is difficult to cross the neighboring countries and regard the distant state of Zheng as the eastern border city. Why destroy Zheng and increase land for neighboring Jin? The neighboring countries are powerful, but the strength of your state of Qin is relatively weak.

2. If she thinks Zheng is the master, the exchange of luggage will be exhausted, and you will be harmless.

It means: if you give up the siege of Zheng, it will do you no harm to treat it as a host who receives passers-by and people come and go on the Oriental Avenue, and (Zheng can provide what they lack at any time).

3. And your taste is given by Jin Jun. Xu Jun is anxious and flawed. You know what you know. Fujin, why bother? If you want to seal the east and seal the west, how can you get it if you don't lack Qin? Kan Qin benefits Jin, only you figure it out.

Besides, you are very kind to Kim, and promised to give you two cities, one burned and the other broken. However, as you know, Gong Hui crossed the Yellow River in the morning and built fortifications at night. Jin State, how can it be satisfied?

It regards Zheng as its eastern border and wants to expand the border to the west. If you don't lose money on the land of Qin, where can you get it? Weakening the state of Qin is beneficial to the state of Jin. I hope you will consider this matter!

From the mouth of Zuo Qiuming, a writer and historian in the Spring and Autumn Period. This article describes a diplomatic struggle before Qin Jin jointly attacked Zheng.

With his own efforts, keen insight into the current situation and extraordinary eloquence, Candlewick finally saved Zheng from the disaster. His spirit of being fearless in times of crisis, lifting the national crisis and his outstanding diplomatic ability were praised by people.

Creative background:

The background of this story is Qin Jin's Kevin·Z, which took place in Wu Jia in September of 630 BC (the 30th year of Lu Xigong). Qin Jin joined forces to attack Zheng. Zheng was in danger and sent someone to light a candle to persuade Qin Bo.

The Art of Candles subtly evokes Qin Mugong's memory of Qin Jin's contradiction, analyzes the situation at that time to Qin Bo, and shows that protecting Zheng is beneficial to Qin and destroying Zheng is unfavorable to Qin Bo, and finally convinces Qin Bo.

The author introduces:

Zuo Qiuming (502 BC-422 BC) was born in Junzhuang (now Yuheng Village, Shi Heng Town, Feicheng City, Shandong Province), a historian, writer, thinker, essayist and strategist at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a blind historian named Bian, who memorized ancient history and legends, told them and passed them on from mouth to mouth, supplementing and enriching written records. Zuo Qiuming is one of them.

According to legend, Zuo Qiuming wrote two books, Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals (also known as Zuo Zhuan) and Guoyu, which recorded many important historical events in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period and preserved valuable original materials. Due to the informative historical materials, the writing is vivid.

It has aroused the interest of scholars at home and abroad, and is known as "Shi Sheng, a scholar" and "Shi Zu, a politician". Confucius and Sima Qian both respected Zuo Qiuming as a "gentleman".

Zuo Qiuming is the founder of China traditional historiography, and Zuo Qiuming is regarded as the originator of China historiography by historians. He is also called "the father of hundred schools of thought, the father of ancient Chinese". Zuo Qiuming's thought is Confucianism, which reflects the interests and demands of the people at that time.

Influenced by the thought of valuing ceremony, Zuo Qiuming paid special attention to personal moral cultivation. These accomplishments include loyalty, filial piety, faith, righteousness and surrender. He thinks loyalty is a person's best virtue.

The first meaning of loyalty is loyalty to the monarch: the king of Chu did not forget to give him a good reputation after his death, and he did not forget to defend his motherland before he died. He thinks it's loyalty.

King Xiang of Chu, who was threatened with a weapon, admitted that he had committed a crime and cut off his foot. He thinks this is loyalty, too. Be loyal to the king and filial to your parents. Zheng Zhuanggong put her mother under house arrest and vowed never to see her again because her mother helped her brother rebel.

Uncle Yingkao helped Zheng Zhuanggong mediate the relationship between her mother and son. Zuo Qiuming praised Uncle Ying Kao, saying that he could love his mother and pass this love on to Zhuang Gong, which was "pure filial piety".

Faith is a gentleman's moral standard, which is not only reflected in personal morality, but also between countries. If the alliance between countries is not based on faith, then even the alliance is meaningless.

A noble gentleman should not only write letters, but also give lectures. Dish, the doctor of Wei, put his righteousness above family loyalty and executed his son who participated in the rebellion. Zuo Qiuming spoke highly of him, calling him a "pure minister".

Jean is humility and an important part of the ceremony. If a country can form a good humble social atmosphere, then it can maintain long-term stability.

In addition, a gentleman follows good and does not follow evil, knowing that good can't be lost and evil can't last long, so that he can follow good advice. For those who trample on loyalty, filial piety and faithfulness, and have bad conduct, Zuo Qiuming expressed his deep hatred.
