Three Kingdoms

In Chang'an.

In the snowy backyard of the Husband's Mansion, the discussion on Qinglong Temple continued. But this time, it was not just Fei Qian and Pang Tong, but also Zao Zhi, Xun You, Sima Yi, Wei Duan, Du Ji, and Kan Ze. , Zhuge Jin, Wang Chang, Ma Heng, Han Guo and others were also present.

Some of these people were originally from the land of Sanfu, and some were from surrounding counties. They came because of the trick. At this moment, they were all invited by Fei Qian to join them for the banquet.

The weather was cold, so I made Qiangzi. Sitting around the yard, watching the snow scenery and eating hot pot is one of the great pleasures in life. Everyone has a hot pot in front of them. The sliced ​​meat is spread on the stone slab, and the freshly picked vegetables in the greenhouse are used as decorations.

Fei Qian looked at it, and then smiled too.

Many things have quietly changed.

For example, for this banquet, if it was the custom in the past, the host had to prepare a lot of ingredients. Once the guests did not eat enough, were not full, and were not drunk, it would be the host's dereliction of duty. Then the banquet would start from noon until evening, and he would have to give Guests prepare guest rooms, etc. At the same time, guests also have to eat as much as they can. Everyone almost has to eat meat and drink until they are full, and only then can they show respect for the host.

Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that in fact such overeating is very detrimental to health.

Then, high-ranking officials and celebrities in the Han Dynasty also liked to hold banquets continuously for several days or more than ten days...

But now, for example, at the banquet here in Fei Qian, except for the first three glasses of wine, there is no advice. Those who like to drink drink more, and no one will force them not to drink if they can't. The same goes for eating. If you like something fatter, eat fatter. If you like something with more gluten, eat something with more gluten. It's okay to chew on the bones like jujube. For example, Zhuge Jin likes to eat winter greenhouse vegetables. There was no one to blame.

People themselves are different. Why must we restore the classical etiquette as it was before the Spring and Autumn Period and not change it?

But there are also some things that are still going on and are extremely stubborn.

Such as leverage.

In other words, in Qinglong Temple, there are a large number of people who are similar to the "Gang Jing" of later generations, who are ideologically solidified and unwilling to accept new changes and knowledge. What they like to do the most is to mess around and go off topic, mess around, chew on words, and then attack them with all their strength, regardless of the overall carelessness or the initial conditions, and always slap the blame. In the end Completely ruin the topic and confuse it.

"Today's banquet is about gossiping about ancient times." Someone has a theory, please enlighten me..."

Fei Qian said slowly, "The limit of antiquity starts from the Huaxu clan, passes through Pangu, Yanhuang, Chiyou, and then Yao, Shun, Yu, and ends in Xia. It is called the ancient times of China." What do you think? 』

In fact, Dayu can not be regarded as ancient, because Dayu is regarded as the transition from the abdication system to the hereditary inheritance system. It can be regarded as the upper one, but it can also be regarded as the lower one. However, for the sake of clarity, it is still divided from Xia, and those before Xia are regarded as In ancient China, it was more appropriate.

Everyone looked at each other and there was no big difference of opinion.

Things in ancient times are too far away after all.

"The Huaxu family must have preceded them, but they don't have a name. Why?" Fei Qian continued to ask, "Does Shi Yuan know the reason?" 』

Pang Tong stretched out his short and fat carrot hand and knocked on his head, as if he wanted to knock some knowledge out of his head. "The Mandarin said, "In the past, Shaodian married the Youyu family and gave birth to Huangdi and Yandi. , great-grandmother Hua Xu." However, there is no record of the ancestors of the Hua Xu family. I’m just making wild guesses, as most of them don’t have any writing yet…”

Fei Qian nodded, "Huaxu, also known as Hexu, Huaye, Huaye, Heye, Liangye, Hehua, are the remaining fire of Xu, the flower of China, or derived from Huaxu." ...But why does Hua Xu have a name, while Hua Xu's predecessor has no name? 』

No one could answer.

Fei Qian said: "It's for use." 』

Everyone was either stunned or at a loss.

Fei Qian said slowly, "In ancient times, people were sparsely populated, and everyone in the tribe was familiar with it. They were like a team leading their soldiers, and they could be commanded like an arm without using their names... Then the crowd was like an army, If there are no flags, golden drums, it will not be possible. Therefore, another question arises, why is it necessary? Why use it here? 』

Everyone pondered.

This is an issue that they have never thought about in detail. It seems to be the case, as if it should be the case, and basically they have not considered the issue in detail.

"Gongda." Fei Qian called.

"I am here." ” Xun You responded.

"Is there any record of winter snow since the Taixing Year?" Fei Qian asked again, "Is it increasing or decreasing, and how long will it last?" 』

Xun You was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly, glanced at the flying snow in the courtyard, and said loudly: "Since the Taixing Year, there have been records in the North, and the snow has become more frequent, and last year it was even more continuous." It’s been more than a month and the snow is knee-deep, making it impossible for people and horses to move..."

"What Gongda said is true," Fei Qian nodded and said, "Therefore, in the northern desert, the strong and gentle people go south to avoid them." By analogy, do you know why Hua Xu was born? 』

Du Ji's eyes lit up, but he did not speak. Zao Zhi, who was next to him, clapped his hands and said, "Could it be that the tribe from the Northern Desert went south, and they have the name of Huaxu, so they can be divided into enemies and friends?" 』

"Maybe. Fei Qian nodded, "There are no records of ancient times. However, the reincarnation of heaven is just like the changing of four seasons. In the time of Huaxu, or like now, the northern desert is bitter and cold, and it is impossible to live there. The tribes have gone south one after another, stacking up and fighting with each other. How to distinguish them, when There are names to distinguish them, so the words are derived from them..."

In ancient times, the land was obviously vast and sparsely populated.

The reason why human beings form tribes is not because they were tribal in the beginning, but because human beings cannot survive without tribes, so they gather together.

Most tribes are related by blood, but it is not so easy to develop regional tribal alliances with different bloodlines.

The climate is mild and the food is abundant. Just like many overfed gangsters in later generations, they will not have any unified thoughts and behavior patterns. Only when their lives are threatened and they realize that they cannot survive without unified action, gangsters will Jing naturally closed his mouth.

The more developed the internet is in later generations, the better the economy will be. People who are trying to make ends meet year after year will continue to uphold the banner, and the flag will be passed down from generation to generation. Most of them will eat too much and dress too well. People who are busy making a living and struggling to maintain their families basically don’t. If you are arguing, you must cooperate with others and know how to cooperate with each other.

The era of the Huaxu family was a leap from quantitative change to qualitative change in ancient Chinese history.

A super large-scale elimination of the flying "Gang Jing".

From tribes to tribal alliances, and the subsequent form of tribal alliances is the country.

The development of the tribal alliance is divided into two stages. The first stage is the alliance of blood tribes, and the second stage is the alliance of regional tribes. This is already the prototype of the country. In order to survive, the tribal alliance has formulated the requirements that all tribes must The rules to be followed are the predecessor of the law.

But for this law to be known and obeyed by everyone, it must be written down instead of being changed at will, so writing was born.

With writing, there is civilization.

This is a leap-forward evolution of Chinese human society.

The reason why humans upgraded from scattered tribes to tribal alliances about 4,600 years ago was to survive. The greatest pressure for survival, forcing all tribes to agree to the alliance, must be unprecedented and no tribe can compete. The pressure is the pressure of nature, which is the change of the overall climate.

After the Ice Age, human beings began to live and reproduce in the expanding space of Eurasia as the post-glacial earth heated up. It was an era when the land was vast and sparsely populated, and they could survive anywhere. At that time, the earth had a period of ultra-high temperatures that lasted for three thousand years. Before the beginning of ancient history, almost all humans had gone to higher latitudes, possibly as far as 60-70 degrees north latitude. Later generations also excavated discoveries in Siberia. Some ancient human remains and some ancient jade tools have been unearthed, which can provide circumstantial evidence of this.

In low latitudes, there are fewer people because it is too hot.

Then Mother Earth started to calm down and stopped going to nightclubs to party every day, and everything started to cool down again.

Humans in the northernmost part of the country felt the pressure of the Great Cooling the earliest and felt it most strongly, so they were the first to set out. Human beings began to fight their way south from high latitudes in tribal units. The Heilongjiang Basin was once a gathering place for human beings on the eve of ancient Chinese history, and later it was Migrated to the Yellow River Basin.

In the process from north to south, the northern part of the entire Eurasian continent is very wide, but the further south it becomes, the narrower it becomes sharply, especially in the terrain of Northeast China. The northern entrance is thousands of kilometers wide, while the southern exit is only a few miles near Shanhaiguan. In such a rapidly narrowing space, human beings naturally launched the most ferocious and tragic life-and-death struggle in order to survive. Whoever can upgrade to the tribal alliance, whoever has more people, has a chance of winning. Therefore, at this time, China Under the unification of the Huaxu clan, it was upgraded to an unrivaled super-large tribal alliance. Later, with the Great Migration, it was distributed throughout the country and even the world.

Those tribes that were unwilling to merge and were full of rebellious genes were eliminated in this process.

Unified norms came out, the gangsters were put aside, and the prototype of the country emerged.

Therefore, the ancient civilizations around the world appeared at about the same time, and the latitudes were also similar. This is generally the reason.

"After Hua Xu, when Fu Xi was young, the leader of China was Pangu. Fei Qian continued, "Pangu is a name, either for gods or humans. Some people think that it is the name of a tribe. The leader of the tribe is called Pangu, just like the tribes of Yanhuang." Pangu's tribe was good at holding axes and axes in battle, and he had the reputation of opening the sky. 』

In the later rock paintings of Cangyuan, Yunnan, there is a work by a pre-primitive man, which depicts a person with the rays of the sun emanating from his head, holding a stone ax in his left hand, a wooden handle in his right hand, and his legs standing upright at a high place. This image is more or less consistent with the legend of Pangu standing between heaven and earth, using an ax to split chaos and create heaven and earth. It shows that in ancient times, Pangu, or this type of person who fought with a stone axe, was quite famous.

After all, in ancient times when knowledge was extremely scarce, knowing how to make a stone axe, or how to make a better stone axe, was the authority of the Pangu clan, which is where the original meaning of the word "yue" comes from.

"戉, a big axe." This is what Pangu could do. Fei Qian continued, "Later, the Pangu tribe dispersed, and Yanhuang stood out. The remnants of Pangu walked away holding the sword, and scattered along the way, which is the source of each country's overthrow..."

"As for the people after Yanhuang..." Fei Qian smiled and picked up a piece of meat and put it in the hot pot, "I won't go into details..."

The word "Huaxia" can be interpreted from another perspective, Hua Cong Hua Xu, Xia Mo, needless to say.

Fei Qian ate the meat leisurely, but everyone was a little shocked.

What does the hussar general mean?

No one believed that Fei Qian was just idle and bored, so what was Fei Qian's purpose?

Some people are thoughtful, some are surprised, and some are just eating and drinking...

The few young people sitting at the bottom were more active, whispering and chattering to each other because their positions were not prestigious enough and they could not sit alone. It was a two-seat system.

As for the elders at the top, their faces were solemn, and they didn't know where they were thinking of going.

Fei Qian watched and ate, and then waited until everyone seemed to have finished discussing privately, and then slowly said: "Today's discussion of ancient times is about the Qinglong Temple. It is quite disordered, so I will try to discuss it." The so-called debate should clarify right and wrong, clarify the merits, examine laws and names, determine interests and resolve doubts, and explore the origin of things, just like the ancient discussion of right and wrong. 』

"If someone talks about Huaxu, some people say that the seal of Huaxu Lei Ze is false, or that Huaxu has not been detailed for a long time, how about that?" ” Fei Qian asked, “Or when someone said something about Pangu, there was a saying that chaos opened up the sky, or maybe the bones and blood turned into rivers, the eyes turned into the sun and the moon, etc. How can you defend it? 』

"The reason for discussing is that the discussion should have a beginning, an end, an outer edge, and an inner core. The debate should be within it," Fei Qian continued, "If someone talks about antiquity, he will talk about antiquity directly, without mentioning Zhou Gong. Regardless of spring and autumn, if one is biased, it is like discussing the merits of the sun, moon and size, or the importance of rivers and pots. This is a foolish argument, how can it be tolerated in court? 』

Just like when some Western academics began to spread in China, there seemed to be two extreme schools. One was the theory of Western supremacy, and everything was good from the West; the other was the theory that existed from ancient times, and then what? China has already had it...

Fei Qian introduced Aristotle's logic in the hope of standardizing the various weird debates that occurred in Qinglong Temple in the early days, even the kind where the public talked about the public and the mother-in-law talked about the mother-in-law, and then in the end there was either a fight or a fight. No one can convince anyone to play their own game.

When talking about reason, talk about emotions. When talking about feelings, talk about interests. When talking about interests, it is related to etiquette. When you talk about etiquette, you will ask, "Are you loyal?"

There are also those that forcibly link patriotism and thieves, those that blend victims and indiscretions, those that sew anger and youth together, those who abuse can use good grades as conditions for forgiveness, those who help the elderly and The behavior of causing an accident is the same. Everyone needs to have the power of prediction two seconds in advance when going on the road...

Isn't it a direct manifestation of unclear logic and confusion?

Isn't this the legacy of China's failure to emphasize logic and fail to cross the boundary of clear names through the ages?

What's more, the people who are supposed to uphold justice and uphold the law do not have this basic logical concept in their heads, and come up with all kinds of lamentable judgments. Whose fault is this?

China actually had logic, but this early logic was succumbed to Confucianism after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was tampered with into sophistry, which resulted in it not being fully developed in the later period. The most fundamental reason is that the ruling class does not want the people to think and explore why. It only requires the people to obey and implement, and directly solves those who dare to raise questions. In the end, there is no logic to study and explore the truth. There are only a group of people left who say they want to jump off the building and refuse the food that comes to them, and then naturally take the bowl and say, "It tastes really good..."

And such a result, history has proven countless times, is wrong. It can only make China's feudal dynasty fall into the same pit again and again, because those who work hard to explore, find the truth of things, and find that things are different have been The rulers and their lackeys were killed. Then the dog-legger can only keep picking up old books, trying to use ancient examples to prove the current problem, and apply the medicine according to the prescription. If it is cured, it is to boast of his medical skills. If it is not cured, it is a curse to write this prescription. People are simply quacks.

Fei Qian wanted to change this problem and introduced Aristotle's famous debate. The original intention was to use jade from other mountains to inspire the brilliance of Chinese civilization. As a result, two groups of such people appeared in Qinglong Temple. One wave advocates that everything is good in Europe and the West, while the other wave advocates that ancient China has nothing? The two groups of people fought fiercely, and then the direction of Qinglong Temple's discussion, which had finally been put on track, became chaotic again.

"Therefore, after the New Year, the topics discussed in Qinglong Temple's great treatises should be like the "ancient treatises" mentioned by a certain person, with front and back, and boundaries," Fei Qian said slowly, "we should discuss things in the same way and discuss the principles. , should be consistent, and should not be discussed in general or miscellaneous terms. If the matter is not clear, it should be clarified before debate. What do you think? 』

Everyone was silent for a while, looked at each other, and then said in unison: "That's what it is, and I will obey the Lord's order." 』

Afterwards, Fei Qian stopped talking about things related to Qinglong Temple, and began to talk to various people, or asked about some local farming and trade, or asked about some interesting things in their respective counties. The overall atmosphere became lively again. They got up until it was getting late, and everyone gradually dispersed after having had enough wine and food.

Wei Duan climbed into Du Ji's car, sent his own vehicle to follow, then looked back at the general's mansion in the distance, then turned to ask Du Ji: "Bohou, what do you think of the lord's remarks today?" , what is the deep meaning? 』

Hussar said that the debate was only about Qinglong Temple and nothing else was involved.

But who believes it?
