Chapter 301 A hundred schools of thought contend, Mozi makes his debut... (for subscription)
"No, no, no, no..."

Not just the people in the studio.

Including the staff of the archaeological team, they are also confused at the moment.

after all.

If you only talked about Song Xianggong before, everyone would think Song Xianggong was stupid, but others would not.

but.

When Chen Fan talked about the battle rules in the early spring and autumn period, everyone felt even more incredible.

"Why do I feel a little unreal?"

"Is this a war or a child's play?"

"Wars are so civilized in the early Spring and Autumn Period?"

The fans in the live broadcast room still couldn't believe it.

For this.

Several staff members also didn't understand, and asked, "Mr. Chen Fan, is this too unbelievable?"

"Of course, if we look at it now, there is indeed a point."

Chen Fan nodded: "Perhaps not to mention the present, even in ancient times other than the Spring and Autumn Period, I also think this is too funny. But maybe you don't know much about the Spring and Autumn Period. Although the strength of the major vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period has already It is stronger than the Emperor Zhou, but the Emperor Zhou is still the co-lord of the world. Moreover, the wars between the major vassal states in the early Spring and Autumn Period were not for the purpose of destroying the country, but for hegemony, so it does not matter whether they kill too many people. As long as the If the opponent defeats, then you can dominate one side.”

"In addition, the people who participated in the war in the early Spring and Autumn Period were not civilians, but nobles. Commoners were not eligible to participate in the war. Therefore, the scale of the war in the early Spring and Autumn Period was not large, and there were not many people. Everyone was a nobleman, so they were compared with each other. It's polite. Everyone's strength is strong or weak, and sometimes you can tell it at a glance, and it's not uncommon to go through a symbolic cutscene later."

"Of course, there is another most important reason, and that is the restriction of Zhou Li on the major vassal states in the early Spring and Autumn Period."

The previous points are not too important.

What really matters is Zhou Li.

"Teacher Chen Fan, what is Zhou Ritual?"

"Zhou Li is a book about the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty formulated by the Duke of Zhou. The content includes talking, walking, eating, offering sacrifices, divination, military affairs, weddings and funerals, music...etc. Why do you want to make such a work? ?”

"Actually, this is also for the sake of maintaining unity."

For the Zhou Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou can indeed be said to be another holy king, although he did not act as a monarch.

But his influence on the Zhou Dynasty was extremely great.

Even, it has affected future generations for thousands of years.

"Before the Zhou Dynasty, although there were some books on etiquette and some rules, they were relatively superficial, not very systematic, and not very formal. After the Zhou Dynasty defeated the Shang Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou believed that for the Zhou Dynasty's Unification, it is necessary for the Zhou Dynasty to publish a book on etiquette. This book is to teach all the people of the Zhou Dynasty what is called etiquette. Only when all the people understand what is called etiquette, then the rule of the entire country can be stable. "

It's just that Chen Fan's words made everyone not understand: "Mr. Chen Fan, I don't understand something here. Could it be that if everyone understands etiquette, they will be able to maintain the rule of the Zhou Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty will not be destroyed?"

"It's theoretically possible."

Chen Fan nodded: "For example, according to Zhou etiquette, ministers must salute the emperor, vassal states must pay tribute to the emperor, and all vassal states must obey the emperor... etc. If these vassal states and these ministers can do this Obligation, then the Zhou Dynasty is absolutely impossible to perish. But it is because everyone gradually stopped listening, so the rule of the Zhou Dynasty began to gradually decline. Until the Spring and Autumn Period, although all the vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period did not listen to the emperor very much, But face still has to be given. At the same time, the etiquette and music that have been observed for hundreds of years are still deeply rooted in the heart. Just like Song Xianggong, he is a monarch who has always adhered to Zhou Li. To put it simply, Zhou Li is like us Some customs and habits of daily life, you have been following this since childhood, so he had an unparalleled restriction on the people at that time. So in the early Spring and Autumn Period, although Zhou Tianzi was weak, he was actually doing well. There's not much danger either."

"And when will this restriction disappear, that is, from the end of the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, everyone has changed from fighting for hegemony among princes to destroying the country and expanding the territory. The original way of fighting is no longer suitable for the current era, so it has come At this time, a series of military strategists and generals also came out one after another. And in Sun Tzu's art of war, the soldiers, the deceitful way... To a certain extent, it can be said that this is the beginning of the collapse of Zhou Ri."

of course.

This cannot be said to be the fault of Sun Tzu, or the words of Sun Tzu's Art of War, or even the fault of this era.

Sun Tzu is right, Sun Tzu's Art of War is not wrong, and there is nothing wrong with this era.

As for them being right, why is the ritual collapsed and music broken?
It's actually very simple.

In many cases, a book, or a rule, can be effective for 100 years, which is already very good.

Zhou Li was launched by Zhou Gong, and it has been hundreds of years until the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, and Zhou Li has completed his mission.

It is impossible that the rituals of Zhou have been passed down through the ages, and even after thousands of years, modern people will have to abide by them.

It is precisely because of the collapse of ritual and music that the emperor of Zhou will be finished in the end.

Because at this time, all the vassal states did not take Emperor Zhou seriously at all.

In their minds, the concept of Zhou Tianzi no longer exists.

"I see."

"I didn't expect that there are so many stories in it."

"Listening to a class by Mr. Chen Fan sometimes feels better than studying for ten years."

"That's right, no one has ever taught Mr. Chen Fan's class before."

Everyone kept nodding.

……

Subsequently.

Chen Fan didn't say anything more.

The staff of the archaeological team were also busy working.

But at this time, Professor Zhou took Chen Fan to visit the ancient ruins of the Song Kingdom.

"Teacher Chen Fan, please tell us about Song Kingdom."

"Let's talk about it, and if you talk about it again, it's a real gift."

"What to send?"

"Hehe, this State of Song is very similar to the Song of the Song Dynasty, isn't it?"

"Uh, don't tell me, I haven't thought about it yet. But, Mr. Chen Fan, it seems that the Song Dynasty has nothing to do with the Song State."

"There is still some connection."

While visiting, Chen Fan introduced and said: "After Song Kuangyin added the yellow robe, he was thinking about what kind of country name he would have. After thinking about it, Song Kuangyin called the Song of Songzhou, the place where he once served as the governor of Songzhou, the name of the country. No. And Songzhou is now Shangqiu. And Shangqiu was the capital of Song State more than 2000 years ago.”

"Unfortunately, the Song Dynasty was a bit miserable in the end."

"It's the same for the Song Dynasty."

Chen Fan spread his hands: "Although the overlord Song Xianggong is too parallel, he is actually the strongest generation in the Song Kingdom. After Song Xianggong, other monarchs are basically unknown. Although the last monarch Song Kangwang Ambitious and powerful. But unfortunately, the era at that time was different from that of Song Xianggong. Qi State united with Chu State and Wei State to launch an attack on Song State, and then the Three Kingdoms divided Song State. So far The state of Song perishes."

"Teacher Chen Fan, say something happy."

The live broadcast is still going on.

Professor Zhou knew that as long as the Song Dynasty was mentioned, all the fans in the live broadcast room would have to scold their mothers again.

In fact it is.

When it comes to the Song Dynasty, many fans have been spraying it out on the public channel.

"Big coward."

"Why does history have the Song Dynasty?"

"Sister, if it weren't for the fact that the Song Dynasty had Su Shi, Li Qingzhao, Lu You, Xin Qiji, and Marshal Yue... I would hate to have to recognize the Song Dynasty."

In this regard.

Although Chen Fan didn't watch everyone's reactions in the live broadcast room, he knew it.

Nodding his head, Chen Fan said: "Let's talk about being happy. Although Song State cannot become the overlord like Qi and Chu, Song State is very open-minded, and many great people have appeared successively."

"Teacher Chen Fan, who are some great people?"

"Let's talk about the first one first."

Smiling, Chen Fan said, "For example, Mozi."
