history
It's Zhao. At the age of fifty, I came to Qi to lobby and give lectures. ? Zou Yan's theory is tortuous, exaggerated and empty; Zou Xuan's article is complete and thorough, but it is difficult to implement; Chunyu Kun, if he gets along with him for a long time, will often learn some incisive remarks. ? Therefore, the people of Qi praised them and said, "It is Zou Yan who talks a lot, is meticulously crafted and smart, and is Chunyu Kun who talks a lot." Tian Pian and others all died during the reign of King Qixiang, when Xun Qing was the oldest and most experienced master.
At that time, Qi was still making up for the shortage of doctors, and Xun Qing served as the master of Xia Ji bachelor's wine offering for three times. Later, when someone slandered Xun Qing in the State of Qi, Xun Qing went to the State of Chu, and Chun Shen Jun made him the Lanling Order. After the death of Chun Shen Jun, he was dismissed from office and settled in Lanling. Li Si was his student and later served as prime minister in the Qin Dynasty.
Xun Qing hated the dark politics in troubled times, and confused monarchs appeared one after another. They are unfamiliar with common sense, but they are confused by the strange witch's wishes. They believe in praying to God for disaster, and vulgar and humble Confucian scholars are bound by trivial etiquette. In addition, Zhuang Zhou and others were cunning and argumentative, corrupting customs, so they speculated on the success or failure of Confucianism, Mohism and Taoism, and wrote tens of thousands of words several times. Buried in Lanling after death.
