Chapter 31 Chapter 6 Run through him once at a red light
There is no evidence that Xia does not exist.
It is even suspected that it was fabricated by Zhou people, with the purpose of proving the rationality and legitimacy of overthrowing Yin Shang.This certainly makes sense.The question is, if there is no Xia, Yin Shang will become "Sister Lin who fell from the sky", does it make sense?
In fact, from Yao and Shun to Shang, there must be an important turning point and transitional period.It doesn't matter whether it is called "Xia" or not, just like whether Xia was called "Yaoshun" before.
Similarly, to regard Xia as a mature "dynasty" is also pretentious.Not only is Xia not, but Shang and Zhou are also not.To be precise, Xia is a "tribal country", Shang is an "alliance of tribal countries", and Zhou is an "alliance of semi-independent countries".Xia, Shang and Zhou can be called "Three Dynasties", but not "Three Dynasties".None of them are unitary states, nor territorial states, nor even fully formed states.The emergence of an independent and sovereign state requires the Warring States Period.To fully achieve "dividing citizens according to regions" and "relying on power to handle affairs" will take place in the Qin and Han Dynasties or even after the Qin and Han Dynasties.The symbol is "centralized county system".
Before, it was a long growth period.
The midwife who gave birth to this ancient civilization was Xia Qi.Because the monarch of Xia is called "Hou", it is also called "Xia Houqi".Xia is the title of the country, followed by the title of the king, and Qi is the name of a person.后, not the simplified Chinese characters for "后" in front and back.It was originally "after", which means the birther.According to legend, it was Xia Qi, the creator, who abolished the abdication system and created the hereditary system, turning the tribal alliance in the Yao and Shun era into a tribal state, and the Chinese nation entered the civilized age.
This is called "Qi Fei Zeng Yi", which is the first great revolution in Chinese history.
Kai, what a good name.
However, when Sima Qian narrated this period of history, I am afraid that he was very entangled.
As a historian, Tai Shigong has to seek truth from facts; and the influence of Confucianism is like a lingering nightmare.According to Confucianism, Yao, Shun and Yu were all gentle, courteous and thrifty.Let it be very important.Those who hand over power must give way, and those who take over must be humble.
Therefore, when Shun took over, he first had to mourn for three years, and then he avoided it and ran to the bank of the South River to hide.Let who?Yao's son Danzhu.It's a pity that the "comrades" didn't do it.The chiefs of the various tribes all went to Shun when they talked about work, went to court, and sang songs of praise, but no one paid any attention to Danzhu.Shun officially succeeded Yao as the CEO of the tribal alliance.
Yu also went through this procedure.It's just that he was hiding in Yangcheng, and the one who avoided was Shangjun.
To put it bluntly, this is bullshit!
In the era of Yao, Shun and Yu, wasn’t the system abdication?Hasn't it become a rule that the father dies and the son succeeds?So, why do Shun and Yu want to avoid the sons of their predecessors?So it's not true at all.Even if there is, it is still a show, and those Confucian scholars helped them do it later.
In fact, why bother!Is avoidance necessarily a virtue?Being the leader of the tribal alliance, of course, has many benefits, at least it can satisfy a man's ambition and desire for power.Otherwise, why did Yao and Shun refuse to let go, and why did Xia Houqi do his part?But from a legal point of view, taking over the scepter, after all, first of all means responsibility and responsibility, especially in that troubled time.Then let me ask again: Are Shun and Yu's avoidance, humility, or courtesy, are they responsible or not?Is it responsible, or not?
What's more, even if you want to be the boss, so what?The man is self-respecting and rampant.It is neither honorable nor shameful for a man to be as ambitious as he is sexual, but normal.But if you put on airs, you are hypocritical.Unfortunately, this hypocrisy runs deep.Later, when Cao Cao became the king of Wei and Cao Pi became the emperor, they both gave way three times.
It's a vulgarity.
Sima Qian, who is always respected, is not exempt.
