China is a country deeply influenced by Confucianism, so we grew up listening to all kinds of etiquette, respecting our elders and caring for our children. In fact, people who grow up in middle age will feel very distressed. After all, there are old people and young people in the world. We should respect the old and care for the young. Especially in middle age, people are under too much pressure and sometimes want to give up. This has also led to the emergence of more and more depressed patients in the world. When we were children, we must have heard such a story, Kong Rong let pears. Indeed, because of this story, many children have learned to share since childhood, but it is not clear whether it is true or not. In the history of China, there are not only stories about Kong Rong letting pears, but also other educational stories, which have a profound ideological influence on our later generations.
Kong Rong has other stories besides this. At that time, he was about to be executed by Cao Cao, but he hoped that Cao Cao would spare his nine-year-old son's life. Speaking of Kong Rong, this man has to reflect on his life experience. He is a descendant of Confucius. He has been particularly clever since he was a child. He was one of the seven sons of Jian 'an, and later he was killed by Cao Cao because he was loyal to the Han Dynasty and didn't want to follow Cao Cao. Kong Rong looked down upon Cao Cao very much, and often wrote poems to satirize Cao Cao, which also led to the deepening contradiction between them. Later, Cao Cao couldn't bear it, and decided to kill Kong Rong, which might even implicate Jiuzu. At this time, Kong Rong was not afraid, thinking that Cao Cao was threatening himself, while Kong Rong, who watched his own people fall, was afraid, hoping that Cao Cao would spare his nine-year-old son.
Kong Rong's son was also clever. Knowing that his father had fallen, just like this house, there would be no pillars. He said, Under the cover of the nest, Ann is finished? Who would have thought that these eight words had become famous sayings throughout the ages? In the face of life and death, the child can see more clearly than Kong Rong. He deeply understands that his father has fallen and Cao Cao will not let himself go. After all, he is nine years old, and the nine-year-old child has remembered something. His father has passed away. As a child, it is a question whether he can grow up safely, even if he drag out an ignoble existence. Many scholars in ancient China often boasted that they didn't want to drag out an ignoble existence in order to show their integrity. Is there really such honesty in fact? We don't know.
In fact, in ancient China, many times they were forced to die. It is not that these ancient people wanted to die, but that the emperor ordered them to die. Just like during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao mastered the power of the Han royal family, and whoever he wanted died. The emperor was just a puppet. China's feudal imperial power system lasted for thousands of years, during which countless things happened, but the only constant was the central imperial centralization of authority. Moreover, during the evolution of the Millennium, the imperial power has been aggravated and the relative power has been weakened, which has also led to the contradiction between imperial power and relative power, and even between the central and local governments. Society is not static, it is changing all the time, just like Shang Yang's political reform in the Qin Dynasty and even various changes in the Republic of China, all of which show the changes of the times and social system.
As modern people, we may not understand the concept of the supremacy of imperial power and the harsh hierarchy in that dynasty. After all, we live in a peaceful and comfortable era, and there is no obvious hierarchy in it. Of course, this does not rule out that some people have a deep sense of inferiority, or that the level between people is not equal, which will produce such a hierarchical concept. But today's era has been promoting the concept of equality and freedom. We are all human beings, in an equal class. There may be some differences between people, but these differences also lie in ability, family and self-worth. In ancient China, there was nothing wrong with those people. They are just different from our times today and have different ideas. So when we look at them now, we will feel that they are humiliated and even humble.
abstract
Throughout the development of history, there may be right and wrong, but not everyone is wrong, but the changes of the times lead to different ideas. Just as there are capitalist countries and socialist countries in today's society, the growth environment, political factors and even personal development under different social systems are different and have great differences. Just like those people in the capitalist world, they only pursue money and their own interests and never consider others, as long as their own interests are in place. This is obviously different from our socialist countries' pursuit of wealth and common road to a socialist society.
