Semantics: It turns out that after the Spring and Autumn Period moved eastward, the vassal states were in civil strife, and the Rong Di invaded, and the Zhou Dynasty was in turmoil. With the help of Cheng Xiangguan Zhong, Qi Huangong Jiang held high the banner of "respecting the king and refusing foreign countries" and respected the Zhou Emperor as the overlord in the world, which stabilized the vassal states in the Central Plains, safeguarded national unity and resisted the invasion of overseas nomadic peoples.
Punishing Jingchu for crossing the border, defending Chinese civilization, consolidating national unity, and promoting the story of hegemony in historical development. In a word, Guan Zhong's slogan of "respecting the king and rejecting foreign countries" puts forward the idea of safeguarding national unity and resisting foreign aggression, which embodies the core spirit of our national thought and is of positive significance to promoting the development of Chinese national society.
Source: 1, The Biography of the Spring and Autumn Ram by Yang Gao, Duke of Qi in Zhou and Warring States, respected the monarch and rejected foreigners. 2. Qing Pixirui's "History of Confucian Classics and Ancient Classics" only respects Wang Jiao. Although it is in the Spring and Autumn Period, Wang Hao is arrogant and quite arrogant.
In 770 BC, Zhou Pingwang moved the capital from Haojiang to Luoyi under the escort of the princes of Qin, Zheng and Jin.
Pingdong moved eastward, which was a turning point in the national situation of the Zhou Dynasty. From the establishment of Zhou Wuwang to the killing of Zhou Youwang as the Western Zhou Dynasty, Pingdong moved to the East, beginning the history of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was divided into two stages: the early stage was the Spring and Autumn Period when the princes competed for hegemony, and the late stage was the Warring States Period when the seven heroes stood side by side.
After Wang Ping moved eastward, the King of Zhou lost his sovereignty and could no longer give orders to the princes. As a result, the influence of the governors grew, the imperial power of the emperor gradually declined, and the patriarchal clan system began to collapse.
Zheng Zhuanggong, a close relative of Wang Ping and prime minister of Zhou Shi, started the world and was not so polite to the son of heaven. He robbed the son of heaven's wheat, exchanged hostages with the son of heaven, faked his life to cut the Song Dynasty, and even openly confronted it. How dare he let the Ministry shoot arrows at Huan Wang, completely discrediting the son of heaven and being pulled down from the altar?
It was this arrow that opened the prelude to the hegemony of the vassal States in the Spring and Autumn Period, indicating that "the ceremony collapsed and the music was bad", and the king of Zhou was no longer self-centered, but could not afford to be the master of the world.
During this period, domestic governors and brothers rebelled against the wall and usurped power and coups frequently occurred; The vassals fought for power and land, and the merger war broke out constantly; The north allowed the emperor to plunder the south, the south Jingchu was king, the kingship of the Central Plains was in jeopardy, and the Chinese civilization was in danger.
At this time, with the assistance of talented Prime Minister Guan Zhong, Jiang, the monarch of Qi, a great country in the Central Plains, duly raised the banner of "respecting the king and rejecting the foreign countries" on the basis of solid material foundation and strong armed forces.
In the legal name of safeguarding the kingship, we should "rely on the emperor to make the princes", help the weak and help the poor, punish the lawless, resist foreign enemies, defend the country, exercise the power of the leaders of great powers, and act as the overlord of the princes.
