Li Bai (701-762) , whose courtesy name is Taibai and whose name is Qinglian Jushi.
His ancestral home was in Chengji, Longxi (now southwest of Jingning, Gansu Province). At the end of the Sui Dynasty, his ancestors lived in Suiye (near today's Tokmak, northern Kyrgyzstan). When he was young, he moved with his father to Qinglian Township, Changlong County, Mianzhou (now Jiangyou, Sichuan). At the age of 25, he "said farewell to relatives and traveled far away" and left Shu with a sword. Tianbao initially served in the Imperial Academy, but was slandered by the powerful and left Chang'an in just over a year. During the Anshi Rebellion, he served as an aide to King Yong Lin. Because Lin was defeated in Xunyang Prison, he was banished to Yelang, but he was pardoned and returned to the east. In his later years, he went to his uncle Li Yangbing, who ordered him to Dangtu. He later died in Dangtu and was buried in Longshan. In the twelfth year of Tang Yuanhe (817), Fan Chuanzheng, the observer of Xuanshechi, moved his tomb to Qingshan according to Li Bai's last wish of "aiming at Qingshan" during his lifetime. There are thirty volumes of "Collected Works of Li Taibai" in circulation.
Cao Cao (155~220)
A statesman, military strategist and writer in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of Wei. The word is Mengde. A native of Qiao County, Peiguo (now Bozhou, Anhui). His father was Cao Song, and he was the adopted son of the eunuch Cao Teng. Cao Cao participated in the suppression of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Uprising Army and was appointed as the Dianjun Captain, one of the eight captains of Xiyuan. In the sixth year of Zhongping (189), due to Dong Zhuo's monopoly on power, he fled Luoyang and went to Chenliu (now southeast of Kaifeng, Henan). He dispersed his family wealth and gathered 5,000 troops to attack Dong Zhuo together with the Dongguanzhou County Army headed by Yuan Shao. At that time, all the troops were afraid of Zhuo and no one dared to advance. Only Cao went out to fight. Dong Zhuo fled west, and Yuan Shao appointed Cao as the prefect of Dongjun. In the third year of Chuping (192), the Qingzhou Yellow Turban uprising army invaded Yanzhou and killed the assassin Liu Dai. The state officials supported Cao Cao to lead the Yanzhou herdsmen and led troops to defeat the Yellow Turban Army of more than 300,000. They accepted their elite troops as their subordinates and named them Qingzhou soldiers. In the annexation wars in the following years, he showed outstanding talents, defeated Yuan Shu, defeated Tao Qian, pacified Zhang Miao, eliminated Lu Bu, and gradually grew into a force to confront Yuan Shao. In the Battle of Guandu in the fifth year of Jian'an (200), Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao's 100,000-strong army with a small number, and successively captured the four prefectures of Ji, Qing, You, and Bing that originally belonged to Yuan Shao. In the twelfth year, the Wuhuan forces who had sheltered Yuan Shao's two sons and were based in Liucheng in western Liaoning (today's southwest of Chaoyang, Liaoning) were eliminated, and the north was basically unified. According to the plans of Mao Jie and Xun Yu, in the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty from Luoyang to Xu County (now Xuchangdong, Henan Province) within his own sphere of influence as a puppet, and moved the capital to Xu. From then on, he became politically active and his appeal increased. He adopted Zao Zhi's suggestion and recruited people to work in the fields, promising to obtain millions of dendrobium grains, thus ensuring the victory of the war in terms of material supply. He is proficient in "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and has written more than 100,000 words of military literature. Good at using ancient military doctrines and strategies and tactics. He repeatedly ordered the recruitment of talents and required meritocracy. Cao Cao was greatly influenced by the legalist thoughts of the pre-Qin Dynasty. He did not serve officials who did not serve in official positions, and did not reward those who did not fight. Under the guidance of this thought, he brutally suppressed peasant resistance, and at the same time often severely cracked down on the illegal behavior of powerful families.
Introduction to Mozi
Mozi (about 468-376 BC) was an ancient Chinese thinker, educator, scholar, and founder of the Mohist school. His name was Zhai, a native of Lu (now Tengzhou, Shandong) at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the beginning of the Warring States Period. Mozi came from a humble background. In addition to writing books and teaching disciples, he also participated in some political activities throughout his life. He served in the Song Dynasty as a high official, and also visited the countries of Wei, Qi, Chu, and Yue. During the reign of King Hui of Chu, Gongshu Ban was used as an offensive weapon, intending to attack Song for Chu. After Mozi heard the news, he walked ten days and nights to Chu to stop him. In the later years of King Hui of Chu, Mozi wrote to King Hui. He was friendly with Lu Yangwenjun, a nobleman of Chu. This is what is known about Mozi's deeds so far.
Mozi has works handed down from generation to generation. "Hanshu Yiwenzhi" recorded seventy-one chapters of "Mozi", but eighteen chapters were later lost, so the current version of "Mozi" has only fifty-three chapters. Among them, those who are more representative of Mozi's theories and thoughts include "Shang Xian", "Shang Tong", "Universal Love", "Fei Gong", "Jie Yong", "Jie Bury", "Heaven's Will", and "Ming Gui" , "Fei Le", "Fei Ming", etc. Most of the rest were written by later students of Mohism.
Among them, "Jing", "Jing Shuo", "Daqiu" and "Xiaoqi" are all works of Mingbian. They mainly discuss issues such as human epistemology and logic. They were probably written in the late Warring States Period, so they are named after the collection. The masterpiece of debate is an important material for today's study of the study of famous debate in the Warring States Period (see "Mo Jing"). Eleven chapters including "Bei City Gate" and "Za Shou" mainly talk about the art of city defense. They should be the works of military strategists and are also a testimony of the Mohist school's good defense. There are also works such as "Kin Shi", "Cultivation of the Body", and "Zuo Ran", which the predecessors doubted were not written by Mohists.
