Chapter 242 Gongyang Confucians are all ruthless!

After cleaning up the accidentally discovered bronze mirror, Chen Han continued walking through the west corridor with the bronze mirror.

After a while, he arrived at the XZ room.

Unlike the East Tibetan Room, which is completely integrated, the West Side Room is divided into three small compartments, two large and one small.

The middle compartment is a document library filled with bamboo slips.

Chen Han still didn't know what cultural relics were stored in the two storage rooms on the left and right, one large and one small.

After arriving in the west room, he first handed the bronze mirror to a staff member of the Jiangxi Archaeological Institute, and after telling him to store the bronze mirror, he asked: "How is the situation here?"

"What's the situation like in the other two storage rooms?"

Facing Chen Han's curious gaze, the colleague from the Jiangxi Institute of Archeology did not hide it. He pointed to the storage room next to the document storage and said: "The storage room next door is a storage for entertainment equipment."

"Entertainment equipment warehouse?" Chen Han repeated doubtfully.

"Yes, that's the literal meaning. It contains some entertainment equipment."

The staff member from the Jiangxi Institute chuckled: "For example, we found something interesting inside."

"Toss the pot!"

The so-called pot throwing is a traditional ritual and banquet game of the Han nationality. It should have been formed in the Zhou Dynasty and evolved from the shooting ceremony.

In some literature records of the Spring and Autumn Period, the entertainment method of "hut throwing" appeared.

By the Han Dynasty, "pot throwing" had become an elegant activity among Confucian scholars.

The specific method of playing this game is to take a throwing pot with a narrow mouth and a round body, somewhat like a modern vase, and place it in the center of the banquet.

The guests sitting around each held arrows in their hands, aimed at the small hole, and shot arrows in.

Winning or losing is determined by the number of hits.

"Book of Rites: Tou Hu" says: "Those who toss pots are the etiquette of the host discussing talents with his guests over drinks."

It should be a game played with guests while throwing pots and drinking.

Most of the unearthed tou pots are made of bronze.

The last period of prosperity for this kind of game was the Han Dynasty. After the Han Dynasty, Tou Hu gradually withdrew from the banquet culture.

The "Confucian scholars" after the Han Dynasty, whether they were Gongyang Confucian scholars or Gu Liang Confucian scholars, have all fallen into disrepute.

Only the "Ancient Confucianism" is left, which is more in line with modern people's perception and impression of "corrupt Confucianism" and "sour Confucianism", Confucian scholars who are incapable of tying a chicken and do nothing every day.

Naturally, such a Confucian scholar will never play the pot-throwing game related to the archery ritual again.

Regardless of the fact that modern people generally have a bad view of "Confucianism", they feel that Confucianism is self-contained, ignorant of the people, and restricting thoughts.

However, during the Western Han Dynasty, Western Han Confucianism was the most "revolutionary" academic thought. Whether it was Gongyang Confucianism, Gu Liang Confucianism, or the Simeng School, most of them were Confucianism that actively sought change and carried the legacy of the Warring States Period.

.

The Confucian scholars at that time also emphasized that the sword should never leave the body, that a gentleman should take revenge no later than ten years, valued unification, respected the king and rejected the foreigners, and also adopted the policy of bloody suppression against foreigners.

Otherwise, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty would not have been able to conquer the world.

These Confucian schools in the Western Han Dynasty were collectively called the "Jinwen Jing School"!

During the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor burned books and many scriptures were lost. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the government asked the elderly to dictate the scriptures and recorded them in the official script used at that time, which was called "Jinwen".

The so-called Guliang Sect, Gongyang Sect, and Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period.

These three schools of Confucianism are actually three schools of Confucianism that combined Confucianism with the social needs of the Western Han Dynasty and absorbed the theories of other schools to create a new ideological system with Confucianism as the core.

From an academic point of view, these Jinwen Jing schools are academic factions formed by innovating on the basis of Confucius's Spring and Autumn Annals and reinterpreting the Spring and Autumn Annals with their own ideas.

Although they are all descendants of Confucianism, their knowledge is the contemporary knowledge of the Western Han Dynasty.

Dong Zhongshu was able to convince Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to only respect Confucianism because he came up with a new set of Confucianism that was suitable for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to be in power at that time.

It can be said that Confucianism in the Western Han Dynasty kept pace with the times and often made drastic reforms to its own academics.

However, this Jinwen Jing school was basically wiped out by the Eastern Han Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, King Gong of Lu Liu Yu destroyed Confucius's house and found the Book of Rites, Shangshu, Spring and Autumn Annals, The Analects of Confucius, and the Classic of Filial Piety on the walls, all written in ancient Chinese script, which is called "ancient prose".

King Xian of Hejian also said that he had obtained ancient scriptures and scriptures.

At that time, many scribes did not believe in ancient texts.

However, by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Fu Qian, Ma Rong, and Zheng Xuan all respected ancient Chinese literature, and the study of ancient Chinese classics flourished.

The commentaries on the Thirteen Classics of Confucianism that have been handed down to this day are mostly based on the theories of the ancient literary school.

As for modern literature theory in the Western Han Dynasty, only the Gongyang Zhuan left by Dong Zhongshu, who deposed hundreds of schools of thought at that time and only respected Confucianism, was the version annotated by He Xiu, not Dong Zhongshu's original version.

The remaining Confucian schools, whether it is Simeng, Gongyang, Zuozhuan, or even Lu Ru, have basically lost their inheritance.

Later, during the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Confucianism studied the so-called "Ancient Classics", which was the admiration of ancient times.

It can be said that the final result of the corrupt Confucianism in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which was completely imprisoned from mind to body, and women were tightly trapped in the cage of ethics, is all attributed to the Ancient Classics School.

It really has nothing to do with the Jinwen Jing School of the Western Han Dynasty.

The Confucian scholars of the Western Han Dynasty were able to kill people on horseback, ranged for three thousand miles with swords, and governed the people when dismounted. They pursued revanchism and killed people for their parents' blood relatives and friends.

And he shouted the slogan: "Can revenge be achieved in nine lifetimes? Even if it is possible in a hundred lifetimes!"!

The Confucian scholars at that time were ruthless people who really fought against the Xiongnu and vowed to take revenge for the rest of their lives!

According to Confucianism in the Western Han Dynasty, it is not a virtue for a woman to be without talent.

There is also no emphasis by Confucian scholars after the Song and Ming dynasties that "starving to death is a very small matter, but being dishonest is a very serious matter."

Not even the kind of "great Confucian" who is brave enough to fight internally but timid to fight externally. As a result, he is beaten black and blue by foreign barbarians or played around in circles, or he dislikes "the water is too cold" and "abandons the darkness to the light" faster than anyone else!

It's funny to say.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty clamored for revenge against the Huns, there were many peace talkers in the court who thought it was best not to start a war.

It even brought out the saying in "The Rites of Zhou" that revenge can be carried out within five lifetimes, and beyond five lifetimes, it is meaningless to do it to oneself, and it is guiltless to do it to others to irritate Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In the end, it was Gong Yangru who actually stood up and came up with his own theory of great revenge, claiming that if the monarch is humiliated, he can repay it even in a hundred lifetimes!

Gongyang Confucianism believes that national hatred can last for hundreds of generations, and revenge must be taken!

The Xiongnu bullied Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty from his father and grandfather all the way up to his ancestor Liu Bang!

Several emperors of the Western Han Dynasty were invaded by the Huns. Could this not be a national feud?

This revenge must be avenged!

With Gongyang Ru's theoretical support, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty convinced the peace negotiators in the court, and finally let Wei Qing and Huo Qubing come to seal the wolf and Juxu, breaking the ridge bones of the Xiongnu in one fell swoop.

It can be regarded as revenge for the great revenge of five generations of emperors that lasted for sixty years!
