How did the name of the Spring and Autumn Period come about? Why not call it summer and winter periods?
The scientific name of history is "Spring and Autumn", which is a metaphor for adults, "Zhongnier, "Spring and Autumn"". Why did Confucius call history Spring and Autumn instead of Winter and Summer? In this way, I figured out several meanings.
It was an era of small country politics. Although it was called a vassal state, it is now slightly wider than a county and has a sparse population. According to expert estimates, the country's population at that time was 20 million, a quarter less than Taiwan's population. However, due to the large number of countries, the maximum number in the Western Zhou Dynasty was nearly 800, and there were more than 40 in Shandong alone. After the main chamber moved eastward, "Zuo Zhuan" still has records of more than 120. The widows of a small country live in an environment where the weak and the strong are preying on them. For example, crops in endangered fields are sown in the spring and harvested in the autumn. They cannot express their aspirations for sustainable development. If the unified world was the same at that time, there would be 9.6 million square kilometers of land. We would not call it Spring and Autumn with the wisdom of the attackers. We could call it sky or sea from another angle.
There are many superficial changes in winter and summer, and there are deep changes and many uncertainties in spring and autumn. The same is true for things, and so is people and society.
Third, spring is sowing, beginning, and motivation. Confucius paid great attention to motivation. In "The Analects of Confucius?" Poetry for the Government. "Poetry 300, one sentence says 'Lenten Town'." Poetry and politics may not seem to be related, but a key point is "Lenten Day". The mind must be correct, the motivation must be pure, and the starting point must be correct. Autumn is harvest and result. Look at your mood from motivation, and look at gains and losses from results. How did the dynasty begin? How did it end? "See him build tall buildings, see his buildings collapse." Hidden inside is the greatest legacy of this dynasty to future generations. In the words of Liu Zhixiu's "Shi Tong", "Gains and losses are the honor and disgrace of genius", "Confucius is afraid of "Spring and Autumn", the Lansing thief is afraid", "What the Lansing thief is afraid of is the writing style of "Spring and Autumn", Privy Council, kind words Righteousness".
Fourth, in the lunar calendar, winter and summer are called winter, spring and autumn are called fountains, and the ancient saying is called "day and night", which are clearly distinguished. It means that day and night are equinoxed, and day and night are basically the same. When reviewing history, a bowl of water must be served, it must be fair, and no lies can be used in private. "Let the flow of unlimited explanations, use the Shunhai style for trading."
Fifth, the four things written above are all my random thoughts. According to teacher Wang Li’s notice, before the early days of Xuzhou, a year was divided into two points: spring and autumn. Speaking of spring and autumn, it means the four seasons of the year. Zheng Xuan annotated: "Compared with the Spring and Autumn Period, Emperor Xiang was not too special." "Four points of the last words of the Spring and Autumn Period".
Reading and writing history are practical, as they can review the past and learn new things. The word "on" is used appropriately because on attaches great importance to the method of reading history. History is dead, and only reading can have new value. Especially the Chinese history "textbooks" are 5,000 years old, difficult to read, the cities are deep, the colors are rich, the people are straight-faced, old-fashioned, lack of rigidity, boring, bitter, yes, bitter. Just like drinking soju in winter, you prefer a "warm" taste. There are two reasons why we do not read history well. There are two most Chinese characteristics.
Up to the Qing Dynasty, China had two forms of state system. One was a simple federal system established by King Wen and King Wu of Zhou and a feudal state. When the foundry was at its peak, there were nearly 800 "joined countries". The other is the imperial system initiated by Qin Shihuang. Both forms of state systems were created in the land of Shaanxi. Shaanxi is known as the "land of the three Jins". This "big" character is still tolerable in the land of Shaanxi. However, the transition of the more than twenty dynasties of the Qin Dynasty was not Shenyang, nor was it an election. In a general sense, it was not natural elimination, but revolution, bloodshed and sacrifice, and the emergence of political power from the barrel of a gun. It was broken down and rebuilt. This is why Chinese history is called "dynasty". Be careful and vigilant when reading history and chronology, and remember the famous sayings "The Emperor has a message" and "Anyone who opposes the enemy must support it." Anyone supported by the enemy must be opposed. "In the revolutionary era, heroes were judged based on victory or defeat, and basically no distinction was made between right and wrong.
China's emperors had a family contract system, so the gap in work levels was relatively large. The gap between high and low was very wide, like a parabola.
But China's prime ministers basically remain at a high level. There are differences in work ability between good emperors and bad emperors. A good prime minister and a hot prime minister are not about work ability, but about psychology, mentality and mentality.
The quality of politics is complicated, and the mentality and mentality are even more complicated. Although these things worry the non-commissioned officer, they also reveal the non-commissioned officer's vision and personality charm.
