Chapter 20 Baijia and the Qin Empire

This wonderful scene of three months competing for brightness lasted only for a moment, and then the two competing stars disappeared and were no longer visible.

There was silence in the hall for a long time.

The red-nosed old man turned his head and said solemnly: "Zou Zining has pointed out the direction for us by bearing the curse of heaven. The Yin and Yang School hopes that you can take care of it. Today, the second Hu Hai returned to Xianyang to kill Zhao Gao and other events, the fate of Qin's country is still alive, and our Confucian school

Decided to put things on hold. I wonder why everyone thinks so?"

The old man in green robe who was the first to ask the question also stood up first and said: "I, the Mohist family, are willing to advance and retreat together with Confucius."

The rest of the people in the hall also expressed their willingness to advance and retreat with Confucianism. In this small hall, there were the leading figures of Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Nong, Zongheng, Yin and Yang, etc.

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the end of the Warring States Period when Qin unified the world, it was an era of great ideological fusion in China when hundreds of schools of thought contended and a hundred flowers blossomed. Needless to say, Confucianism, Daoism, Mohism and other schools of thought.

The Yin and Yang School was an important academic school in the pre-Qin period.

It takes the theory of yin and yang and the five elements as the central idea, hence the name. Its representatives are also called the yin and yang family and the five elements family. It is said that they were transformed from ancient astronomers and astrologers. During the Warring States Period, the theory of yin and yang and the five elements was very popular.

The Yin Yang School still existed in the early Han Dynasty, but gradually declined with the times until Emperor Wu. All the existing ancient books and writings were lost, and the remaining records can only be found in the works of various scholars.

Most of the so-called superstitious professions such as Feng Shui masters and fortune tellers that have been popular in later generations originated from the Yin and Yang school at this time.

The most obvious symbol is the "Onmyoji" that is still popular in a certain island country, Japan. It is a branch of the Onmyoji school in the late Warring States period of China. It was passed down to an island country around the 6th and 7th centuries BC and evolved.

The representative figure of the Yin and Yang school is Zou Yan. According to the theory of the mutual regeneration and victory of the five elements, he interpreted the attributes of the five elements as "five virtues" and created the "theory of the end and beginning of the five virtues". He used it as the law of the rise and fall of dynasties in the past dynasties, and for emerging

Provide theoretical basis for the establishment of a unified dynasty.

The old man named Zou Zi was a descendant of Zou Yan, named Hong. He was respectfully called Zou Zi by other families.

The hundreds of schools of thought meeting in this hall today obviously have the idea of ​​overthrowing the Qin Dynasty and returning to the era of contention of a hundred schools of thought. After all, since the First Emperor "burned books and harassed Confucians" and only respected Legalism, he still established a doctoral system for hundreds of schools of thought.

Participate in political affairs and comment on current affairs.

However, with the decline of all schools of thought, it is an indisputable fact that Legalism dominates.

It can be said that the rise and fall of Baijia is closely related to the rise and fall of the Qin Empire.

The rise and fall of the Qin Empire for more than 500 years (from the establishment of vassal states by Qin to the demise of the second empire) was the most free-spirited and dynamic golden age in Chinese history. In the words of that time, it was a period of "the collapse of rituals and the collapse of music"

It is an era of drastic changes, when the earth is broken, the cauldrons are thundering, the high banks are valleys, and the deep valleys are mausoleums.

In historicist terms, it was an era of great destruction, great creation, great decline, great rise and fall, and thus a great transformation in general.

The transformation from bronze civilization to iron civilization, the transformation from a peasant aristocratic economy to a free peasant landlord economy, and the transformation from a federal state to a centrally ruled state enabled the Chinese nation to reach the ultimate state of agricultural civilization in that era.

This historical process of glorious transformation is the historical process of the rise and fall of the Qin Empire.

The spirit of the times fostered by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was one of strong competition and strong survival. In the words of the time, it was the "era of great struggle." The so-called great struggle meant a comprehensive, thorough, long, and ruthless struggle.

The combination of disputes around three hundred years ago in the Spring and Autumn Period was like the spring water melting the ice in the river, breaking the suffocating isolation of the classical federal kingdom era. Iron tools appeared, commerce was active, the well-field system was shaken, the emperor's authority was weakened, and new landlords and scholars emerged.

The life status of the entire society has been greatly enlivened.

As a result, the old system collapsed, the old culture was destroyed, and the common slaves who were as humble as earthen jars became restless like thunder. The high mountains collapsed, and the deep valleys unexpectedly rose into towering mountains!

Entering the Warring States Period, this dispute finally evolved into a great struggle, and a thorough competition for the survival of the strong began. Those who were weak would be destroyed, and those who fell behind would be beaten, which became an iron-blooded reality with almost no buffer.

Complete reform and complete renewal of oneself have become the urgent way to survive for every country. The competition for talents caused by this has become fierce. The incompetent mediocrity is abandoned, the ignorant monarch is killed, and the famous and talented become the treasures of the world.

, Mingjun Yingzhu became the most supported hero.

Famous generals emerge in large numbers, great talents emerge in large numbers, and heroes emerge one after another. All branches of civilization in the Chinese nation are involved in this comprehensive and thorough competition!

Economy, politics, military, culture, all fields of social life have collided with the most brilliant glory in this great struggle. The scale of the war is the largest, the economic reform is the most thorough, the struggle for power is the most cruel, the cultural contention is the most intense, and the people

Destiny has the closest connection with the destiny of the country, has created the most miracles, and has produced the most great men - all of which are unmatched by later eras, or even unimaginable.

The Qin Empire, which grew up in such historical soil, was the crystallization of the powerful forging of that great era.

The Qin Empire emerged from a fierce competition among great powers, and its tolerance embodied the robustness, simplicity, innovation and pragmatism of that era.

She advocated the rule of law, carried out radical changes, worked hard to build, and unified government orders. After more than 160 years of unswerving efforts by six generations of leaders, she completed the greatest imperial revolution, established a powerful and unified empire, and created a new era.

The Iron Civilization Age enabled China's agricultural civilization to complete a great historical transformation.

The Qin Empire, as a gathering of the spirit of the times, most concentratedly reflected the strong survival spirit of the Chinese nation in that era.

The reason why the entire civilization system of the Chinese nation can last as long as a rushing river, the strong survival tradition established during the Qin Empire can be said to have played a decisive role.

Unfortunately, due to the short-lived history of the unified empire and the subsequent deliberate derogation of the official ideology centered on Confucian concepts, the Qin Empire was almost lost in the smoke of history under the reputation of "tyranny and tyranny".

In the past two thousand years, in the depiction and evaluation of the Qin Empire, the old orthodox form has the same purpose as the old folk art, either deliberately derogating or unintentionally obliterating it. Over the long years, everyone's opinion has been the same, and the glorious source of Chinese civilization has turned out to be the source of great glory.

Bizarrely transformed.

This is the tragedy of Chinese history and the tragedy of Chinese civilization - a nation with a rich sense of justice and history actually classified the great empire that laid the foundation of its own civilization into a different category and violently attacked it!

When many people lack confidence in the face of Western civilization, when our national civilization is diluted and confused by various factors, we forget about the Qin Empire, forget about that great era, and forget to seek "Phoenix Nirvana" from the huge native civilization.

The regenerative power of "disk".

Although we have not forgotten the Qin Empire, we have also been indifferent to the courage and creativity of that era.
