Chapter 735: Eight Hundred Years Jing Chu First National Treasure

Lu Di took Wu Zixu's secret letter and looked at it again and again, did he smile bitterly, and let his reinforcements attack Yingdu? How to fight? The 200,000 Chu troops in front of him can ask for their own lives.

can only write Wang Zhao to tell Wu Zixu about the situation on his side, and the sentry cavalry took Wang Zhao to fight out of the encirclement and go south in the starry night, but unfortunately, he was intercepted by the Chu army in ambush.

King Youxiong Zhen of Chu Zhao looked at the secret letter written by Lu Di to Wu Zixu, his face changed slightly, and he waved his hand to let the generals in the tent retreat, leaving only Ling Yin Shen Zhuliang and Bu Yin Guan to shoot their father.

The king's tent was quiet, and for a long time, King Chu Zhao spoke: "Yingdu is surrounded by Wu Zixu's army."

As soon as these words came out, the whole king's tent could quietly hear the sound of each other's breathing.

Shen Zhuliang was extremely stunned, he couldn't hold back the weird flush and said, "King, when did this happen?" ”

Youxiong Zhen didn't speak, but handed the intercepted secret letter to Shen Zhuliang on the sickbed, Shen Zhuliang looked at it, his eyes flickered, he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

When his own king brought all the elites of the Chu State to help him besiege Lu Di, he Shen Zhuliang had already guessed that his own king was going to break the kettle and gamble the world.

Shen Zhuliang sighed and handed the secret letter to Guan's father, this Da Chu "man full of fascination".

Guan's father, the surname of the eight surnames in ancient times, Guan's family, it is said that Guanyin is the same clan, and was born in the Pugu country in the Yin and Zhou dynasties, and his father Guancong, because he assisted King Chuping to ascend the throne and was given the title of Lord of Bu Yin, and later Guancong died, and his son-in-law Guan's father inherited his throne.

The father of Guanjian is not like his father and ancestor, but a wizard (the wizard refers to a priestess in the pre-Qin period, and the father of Guanshu should not be a priestess, Guanyin may be (joke) to be precise, it should be called), and at the same time he is a doctor who participates in political affairs, after the death of King Chu Ping, King Zhao of Chu has Xiong Zhen encountered indecision, and he must consult him before making a decision, and his status is extremely prominent, and he is regarded as the first national treasure by the Chu State.

What's even more powerful about this person is that the advice or budget he gives is often to the point, and it never fails. It feels like a god of mystery.

In the dialogue between Chinese and King Zhao of Chu, he put forward a religious argument that influenced China for thousands of years, which probably means that for sacrificing to the gods, the key is to be sincere in people's hearts.

There is also the assertion of "Jedi Tiantong", which probably means that there are three dimensional stages in our world, the first stage, in ancient times, the people and gods are not mixed, and then the decline of Shaohao and the chaos of Jiuli, "the people and gods are mixed", "the family is the history of witches", "the people and gods are in the same place", and after the separation, they return to the people and gods.

This argument is very interesting, because his explanation says that there is one of the most strange things in Chinese history, that is, in ancient times, we found that the time recorded in the literature was "human history", but the further history developed, the more it developed, I don't know why all kinds of weird myths and legends were born, and it became a history of "mixed people, gods and ghosts", like the Yanhuang Chiyou War that summoned the great gods with clouds and mist, and then became the history of people.

And this is also the confusion of later generations of Chinese people in studying the history of their ancestors, the more they study before the Yin Shang, the more they find that the history of China is too mysterious, a little unbelievable.

As for the essence of the Father's religious thought, it actually says: Man is a man, and gods and ghosts are gods and ghosts, and they no longer exist in the same plane in the present era. Therefore, there is no need to "be too sacrificial", and there is no need to blindly believe that someone says that he is a god, in short, it is a simple humanist religious view of sacrifice.

In particular, this view is very different from the foreign religions that vowed to "reshape the golden body" at every turn, as well as the later Confucian doctrine that claimed that the Son of Heaven was "the unity of heaven and man".

The original Buddhism emphasized that it was a high offering, and the more sacrifices you offered, the stronger your heart to ask for the Bodhisattva, which is why the Buddhist temples are the most luxurious in Chinese history, and most of the statues are gilded. Compared with the Dao Monarch God of the clay embryo and the Confucian Sage who directly uses the picture, it is simply an emperor-level enjoyment.

Of course, not only China, but also Southeast Asian countries, in later generations can also be seen, go to Myanmar, go to Cambodia, you will find that the people are poor, hungry and shriveled, and have no clothes, but the temple is resplendent and splendid, which is breathtaking.

This is not ironic, because history tells us that the practice of any religion is a "payment". For example, the religious tax of early Christianity in Europa had "tithes" and the like, and this tax was actually an offering. In the pre-Qin period of China, of course, it was not called a tax, nor was it called the worship of the king by the princes, but a sacrifice.

"The unity of heaven and man and man", this is very interesting, in the period of the three emperors and five emperors of China, they emphasized this point the most, because these emperors and emperors are representatives of "the unity of heaven and god and man", which is a concept rich in divinity.

It's just that after Xia Shang Zhou started the revival of humanism, there was no such religious title, and the rulers of the world, they were all called kings, called kings of people.

It wasn't until Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the world that Qin Shi Huang was arrogant and rampant, calling himself the First Emperor, and calling himself a real person, putting the great humanism of Xia, Shang and Zhou on theological concepts again.

Since then, the king of people has become the emperor of people, and Emperor Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty proposed "heaven and man induction" and "divine authority of monarchy", which pushed the king of people to the altar and became the "emperor" of ****.

Speaking of the emperor, it must be explained that the original meaning of the emperor is: big. God, heaven also. - "Biography". It's a religious concept, and that's why the emperor of Japan is called the Emperor. The emperor is not a man, he is a man of God, and the man of God is immortal, and faith is immortal.

Unfortunately, it was the Confucian culture that ruled China, and the most offensive and defensive views of Confucian culture on religion were "the son does not say anything, the strange power is chaotic" and "respectful and distant", so the belief in the emperor was not formed. This also created an important reason why once the altar of Confucius was broken in later generations, Buddhism and Christianity would sweep the land of China.

Of course, this is not bad, but it is said that humanism under theocratic liberation is slowly moving towards death, towards the equality of all beings under theocracy. He will destroy all humanist moral systems.

For example, in the family view, the relationship between parents and children, Confucianism says that parents and children are subordinate and private, and if the son is not filial, I will beat him to death, and you can't control it, because it was born to me, it is mine, and it is an unequal relationship, but under theocracy it is different, they think that parents and children are God's people, they are equal, but God has handed over to parents for more than ten years, so you have no right to beat.

The original meaning of the emperor refers to "the master of living things, the sect of Xingyi", and "the emperor because of his fertility". "The emperor is the top, the emperor is the bottom". Therefore, the "emperor" mentioned by the ancients means the god of heaven and earth.

So the word emperor was replaced in the vernacular: "O my supreme god!" Or "My God, God" or something like that.

It's just that with the changes of the times, we don't realize the divine meaning of the word emperor, but only regard him as a symbol of the highest power in the world.

Therefore, judging from these evidences, Guan Jian Father is definitely the most accomplished pioneer of primitive religious humanism in China, people are people, gods and ghosts are gods and ghosts, there is no agent in this world, and no one can become an agent. And this has become the biggest deserved name for him to be known as the first national treasure of Wuchu in 800 years.
