Martial arts is used to stabilize the country, and literature is used to stabilize the country.

As the saying goes: Martial arts can control the world, and literature can govern the country's security.

Wen, to a large extent, must be attributed to etiquette.

Ritual is extremely important to ancient Chinese society. It is the sum of people's behavioral norms. Ritual has the role of stabilizing the country.

Ritual is the foundation of Confucianism, and Confucian scholars also regard the realization of the country's operation according to the ritual as the first important task. Confucius was born in troubled times, and said that the chaos in the world was due to the collapse of rituals and the collapse of music. He lobbied everywhere to restore the rituals, but he failed. Uncle Sun

Tong also encountered troubled times, and was also displaced throughout his life, but he did not call for restoration of rites, and finally realized the dream that Confucius could not realize in his life, and became a "Han Confucian".

Why did Confucius, the eternal teacher, not succeed, but Shusun Tong, a man with a disrespectful reputation in history, succeeded? What is the coincidence between this?

History books say that Shusun Tong was a man who knew everything and was quick to change. I am afraid this is the secret of his success.

As mentioned earlier, Liu Bang first ascended to the throne and ranked ninth and fifth, but internal and external troubles came one after another. Maodun's army came to Jinyang City, which was indeed a major foreign trouble. However, the differences between the civil servants and military generals in the DPRK were also a headache.

An embarrassing incident. The military general galloped on horseback and fought in all directions. He was the most brave and arrogant at the time. The civil servants did not have the merit to kill generals, but they cared about courtier etiquette and were quite dissatisfied with the careless military general.

On this day, Liu Bang had another banquet for his ministers. At first, the generals were respectful and polite, talking about the emperor coming and going, and Liu Bang was very happy. However, after a few glasses of wine, the generals started to speak foul language.

When exposed, he is no different from a street gangster. After a few more drinks, the generals will start howling.

Let's rock it!

They stepped on the bench, squatted on the table and punched, even drew their swords and struck the table, singing pornographic songs. Some of them did not know the importance of right and wrong, and even climbed onto Liu Bang's dragon chair, pulling and pulling at Liu Bang, saying that Liu Bang was the past

A scandal. In this situation, Liu Bang's face became more and more solemn. After thinking about it, his heart was irritable and uneasy.

Then Liu Bang looked around and saw a Confucian scholar from Eguan University looking at him seriously. Looking again, Liu Bang was shocked and saw that all the civil servants were well behaved and behaved like ministers.

The Confucian scholar's surname was Shusun Mingtong, and all the generals were annoyed by his tact and disloyalty, but Liu Bang was quite fond of him. Shusun Tong was from Xue County, Lu State, which was the hometown of Confucius, and Shusun Tong was

Confucian scholar,

Etiquette matters are his specialty. Besides, he was a doctor waiting for an imperial edict in the Qin Dynasty. In today's terms, he is a candidate doctor. He has experience in etiquette. This uncle and grandson are talented and have the ability to observe other people's faces and figure out other people's thoughts.

Skill, the following incident is a good example:

"Everyone, tell me, what is going on with Chen Sheng and Wu Guangda's trouble?" the second emperor of Qin in the past asked the Confucian scholars.

More than thirty Confucian scholars all said in unison: "They are rebelling. Your Majesty, please send troops to suppress them."

When Shusun Tong saw Qin II's face, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, after the First Emperor unified the six countries, the world has become one family, and weapons have been destroyed long ago. Besides, with a wise sage like you, everyone abides by the law, how can

What kind of rebels are there? Chen Sheng and others are just sneaky thieves, they are just a little bit more powerful, just leave it to the county magistrate to deal with, why should you bother."

Those who did not know how to adapt and still insisted on rebelling against thieves were all killed; those who agreed with Shusun Tong's theory were rewarded.

When Shusun Tong returned home, the Confucian scholars asked: "Why do you distort your intentions and flatter me?"

"Don't you know? I almost couldn't escape from the tiger's mouth!" As soon as he finished speaking, Shusun Tong fled. He fled to Xue County and followed Xiang Liang. Xiang Liang was defeated and followed King Huai of Chu;

King Huai of Chu went to Changsha and stayed behind to serve Xiang Yu. He then surrendered to Liu Bang in Pengcheng. After surrendering to Liu Bang, he never changed his master. After going back and forth like this, Shusun Tong took all the masters, big and small, and followed nearly ten masters in total. He knew the power and changed his master.

It is conceivable.

At first, Shusun Tong wore Confucian clothes, which Liu Bang hated, so he changed to short clothes, just like Liu Bang. Liu Bang was very happy, made him a doctor, and gave him the title of Ji Sijun. Shusun Tong surrendered without his students.

The students were a little resentful, blaming Shusun Tong for not recommending them to become officials in the court. Shusun Tong told them to be safe, as sooner or later he would find a way to make these students prosperous.

Later, Shusun Tong indeed recommended his students to Liu Bang and suggested that Liu Bang develop etiquette to calm the world. However, Liu Bang felt that the etiquette of the Qin Dynasty was too troublesome, so he abolished it. If it were Shusun Tong's etiquette,

It’s also a set, it’s better not to use them.

But Shusun Tong said: "Etiquette is all based on the circumstances of the world. Therefore, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all have different etiquette. The etiquette of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties were also derived from gains and losses on this basis. Don't worry, I don't

It is complicated and only adopts the essence of past dynasties, all of which will be in line with your Majesty's wishes."

So Shusun Tong led his disciples to practice etiquette all day long in the suburbs of the city. After more than a month, he invited Liu Bang to watch. Liu Bang tried it out and found it good, so he ordered his officials to learn it.

In October of the seventh year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (200 B.C.), all the courtiers of the Han Dynasty gathered in Changle Palace to perform court rituals that would last forever from now on. The scale, pomp and momentum were truly extraordinary.

At dawn, the ceremonial officer led the chariots, garrison troops, and guards in one by one, lined up the ceremonial soldiers, and planted flags. With the sound of "qu" (hurriedly walking), the hall was immediately filled with hundreds of people, and everyone was silent.

The team was in order. The generals lined up in the west, facing east; the civil servants stood in the east, facing west. Liu Bang came out in the emperor's chariot, and the alarm sounded loudly, and the officials came to court in order of rank.

Congratulations. After the worship, the ministers returned to sit down and toasted to the emperor one by one. After nine lines of drinking, the ceremony was completed. From the worship to the toast, no one dared to make a loud noise or even speak out loud. Liu Bang was extremely satisfied.

He said solemnly: "I have never known the importance of being an emperor until today." Then he promoted his uncle Sun Tong to be a general attendant and rewarded him with five hundred catties of gold.

Shusun Tong said: "My students have been following me for a long time. They practice etiquette with me and hope that the emperor will give them an official position." Liu Bangquan appointed Shusun Tong's students as doctors. Shusun Tong rewarded them with the emperor's official title.

All the gold was given to his students. His students were very happy and said that Shusun Tong was a saint in the world and could best understand the affairs of the world.

Sima Qian once said: "A fur coat of a thousand pieces of gold is not the armpit of a fox; a tree in a pavilion is not a branch of a tree; and the wisdom of three generations is not the wisdom of a single scholar." The implication is that Shu Suntong's influence on the Han Dynasty

The family had great achievements. Although Shusun Tong had many victims and was cunning in his words and deeds, his status as a "Han Confucian" was still determined by history.

As the saying goes, those who understand current affairs are heroes. In this regard, Shusun Tong can be said to be a hero at that time. His behavior was not just as simple as formulating etiquette. The formulation of etiquette also eliminated the long-standing prejudices between civil servants and military generals.

and discrimination, especially the contempt of military generals and civil servants.

After Shusun Tong's etiquette management, the Han Dynasty court began to see order, which saved Liu Bang a lot of trouble and allowed him to concentrate on dealing with the strong enemy generals in the north. Maodun had great ambitions, and he had been working hard for many years. Jinyang

The city is determined to be won; Liu Bang has also experienced countless life and death tests, will he give in easily? This battle between Mao Dun and Liu Bang is bound to be extraordinary!

It is a pity that this ending still makes us today feel very regretful!
