I, compose the 5000 years of China

Chapter 309 Seeing this person, Confucius had to call a teacher... (for subscription)
"Mr. Chen Fan, is Xiaoyaoyou a work of Zhuangzi's highest philosophical thought?"

"Not really."

"Ah, are there any other works?"

"Yes."

Chen Fan said: "Zhuang Zhou is a representative figure of Taoism. His thoughts have been combined into a work called "Zhuangzi". And Xiaoyaoyou is the first chapter in Zhuangzi. In addition, in Zhuangzi , and he has a series of books."

"Can these works be shared with you?"

"Of course. But for the time being, let's digest the getaway first."

There are too many contents in Zhuangzi's book.

Although Chen Fan can take them all out.

but.

For things like philosophical thoughts, Chen Fan still thinks that he must read them carefully, slowly, and study them carefully.

It's not beautiful to take them all out at once.

It's better to post an article for a while, and then let everyone appreciate and study it carefully.

So.

After releasing Xiaoyaoyou, Chen Fan did not release other series of works in Zhuangzi.

"By the way, Teacher Chen Fan, just now you said Taoism, is Taoism the same as Taoism?"

"Not really."

Chen Fan shook his head: "Taoism is Taoism, and Taoism is Taoism. Taoism was before Taoism, but some of Taoism's theories quoted Taoism's ideas. Among them, Zhuangzi is a representative of Taoism. But in fact, The representative of Taoism is not only Zhuangzi, but also a sage who is more famous and influential than Zhuangzi."

"More famous and influential than Zhuangzi...Mr. Chen Fan, you wouldn't say that this sage is more powerful than Confucius, right?"

Zhuangzi has something that Confucius can't stand.

If someone is more powerful and influential than Zhuangzi, where will Confucius be placed?

"It's hard to say whether it's serious or not, but when Confucius saw Lao Tzu, he had to call him teacher."

"Teacher... who is this sage? Is he from the Song Dynasty like Zhuangzi?"

"It's not from Song, but from Chu. As for who this sage is, I'll talk about it after I go to Chu in a few days."

The interview is over.

Chen Fan looked up some information, and then went to Chudi.

as a historian.

Chen Fan did not forget his identity.

While traveling around the country, he is also writing history.

Previously, the history of Qi State was roughly sorted out.

Later, I went to Shangqiu and talked about the history of the Song Dynasty.

It's just that the Song Kingdom is not considered a big country, and it was soon destroyed.

At this time, go to Chu, which corresponds to Chu in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

In such a big country, although Chen Fan had a series of historical materials in his previous life, in this world, Chen Fan will continue to verify it.

and so.

When going to Chu, Chen Fan went to many places in Chu.

Not just including the most core Wu province in Chu.

In order to compose history more comprehensively, Chen Fan also went to Hui Province, Jiangxi Province, and even the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

no way.

The state of Chu is really too big, so big that almost the entire southern area belongs to the state of Chu.

even.

Some of the territory on the Qi side was once occupied by Chu.

As Nangong said, although Chu has three households, Chu must die if Qin dies.

Why must Chu be the one that destroyed Qin?
No need to look elsewhere.

Just looking at the territory, we can also understand why it is Chu State.

With such a large territory, the state of Chu is far superior to other countries in terms of resources and talents.

So whether it is Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, or Han Xin, they are all from Chu.

In this way, those who destroyed Qin would be the people of Chu.

It took a month to turn over.

Chen Fan's investigation of the Chu land is also mixed.

At this time, he also received an invitation from the History Department of Wuxing University.

……

"Brothers, Brother Fan seems to have disappeared recently?"

"No, didn't you say you went to Chudi?"

"I haven't seen him for a month."

"He's a historian, and the historian can't make any mistakes. It's normal for a one-month on-site inspection."

"I know it's normal. But when I don't see Brother Fan for a day, I feel panicked in my heart."

"Don't talk about it, I am too. I watch other people's videos now, and I feel that these dudes are too embarrassed to shoot videos."

"Oh, there's no way, Brother Fan's every video is a dimensionality reduction blow, so there's no fun to watch in other videos."

"Don't worry, it is said that Mr. Chen Fan has accepted the invitation from Wuxing University, and he may be giving a speech in the next few days."

"Wow, real or fake?"

"real."

"Then what are you talking about?"

"Brother Fan talked about Qi and Song before, but this time when we go to Chu, we should talk about Chu."

"Tsk tsk, Chu State, I like it. Last time, Brother Fan talked about Qu Yuan, I love him to death."

The scope of Chu State is too wide, and its influence is far-reaching.

Not to mention the southerners, even the northerners are influenced by Chu culture a lot.

If you talk about other countries, maybe you have to think about what kind of culture these countries have and what kind of influence they have.

But when it comes to Chu State, a group of netizens really feel that they are particularly kind and have a good impression of it.

In addition, Chen Fan had talked a little about the background of the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods before, so this time it must be a detailed explanation.

This made everyone even more curious about Chen Fan's speech.

"What, aren't students allowed to attend classes?"

"It's possible, but I don't think there's much chance."

"What?"

"Students from Wuhan University may not be able to get tickets, let alone us ordinary people. Moreover, it is said that there are a group of leaders from the Wu Province who are going to attend Brother Fan's class."

"Damn, these leaders are also interested in history?"

"Of course they are not very interested in history, but it also depends on what Brother Fan is talking about. This time, when we talk about Chu, we are talking about the culture of Wu Province, and we are talking about the history of Wu Province. It’s about the future of the Wu Province. Look at what Brother Fan said about Kong Ming before, which directly made Xiangyang angry. Later, when he talked about Qu Yuan, he made the Dragon Boat Festival, dragon boat rowing...etc. Invisible, this is in the In terms of culture, it surpasses the nearby provinces. At the same time, when the culture improves, it can also drive economic development.”

"understood."

With that said, everyone nodded.

It can be said.

This time Chen Fan went to Wuxing University, it was not just academic knowledge.

It also points out the direction for the future of the province.

In fact it is.

After Chen Fan went to Wu Province University, not only the leaders of Wu Province University met with him from time to time.

A large number of leaders from various departments in Wu Province also met with Chen Fan one after another.

and.

Before Chen Fan started his lecture, the Wu Province directly awarded Chen Fan the title of Honorary Citizen of Wu City.

have to.

This is completely learned from Xi'an.

However, Chen Fan also readily accepted this.

He didn't just talk about Chudi.

After talking about Chudi, Chen Fan will go to all parts of the country.

By the time.

Everywhere he went, he cheated of a title of honorary citizen.

When I get old in the future, if I can't get along, I will take such a certificate and go to all over the country to cheat food and drink.

To this day, Chen Fan still misses the scene where a dozen girls came to Dabaojian in Xi'an and didn't take money.

of course.

This is a joke.

How could Chen Fan be such a person?
……

"Teacher Chen Fan, long time no see."

"Zhang Lu, why is it you again?"

"Teacher Chen Fan, from what you said, it seems that I'm not welcome."

"No, no, I mean, you, a big CCTV reporter, why did you come to Wu Province?"

"It's not because you're going to give a lecture at Wuxing University, so I'm going to interview you."

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

"Is there any interview fee?"

"puff……"

At Wu Province University, Chen Fan met CCTV reporter Zhang Lu.

As for why Zhang Lu has been following Chen Fan.

no way.

Chen Fan's influence is simply too great.

However, most of the time he just gave lectures, but what he said also had a profound influence on domestic culture.

For example, when Chen Fan was talking about the Song Kingdom, he talked about Huizi, Mozi, Zhuangzi...

These Spring and Autumn and Warring States scholars not only attracted the attention of ordinary people.

This is extremely attractive to the entire country and to elites like them.

even.

For countries, for them, this attraction is more than any other substance.

"Okay, okay, no kidding, let's interview, be serious."

"Okay, what do you want to ask?"

"Mr. Chen Fan, this time you came to Wuhan University, mainly to talk about Chudi?"

"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded: "The main thing is to talk about the state of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."

"Compared to other countries, what characteristics do you think Chu has?"

"There are many characteristics. One is that the land of Chu State is large enough, almost the largest in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. The other is that a large land also creates a large number of talents. Like Qu Yuan and Wu Zixu I introduced before, including the Han Dynasty The founding emperors, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, were all from Chu. Apart from them, there were also many wise monarchs in Chu who contributed to the victory of Chu. This also made Chu no matter in the Spring and Autumn Period, It was still strong during the Warring States period and laid the foundation."

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Chen Fan believed that Qi and Chu were the most likely to unify the world.

Both countries are very similar.

All big countries.

They were not only powerful during the Spring and Autumn Period, but also during the Warring States Period.

At the same time, there have been wise monarchs in both.

But a pity.

Their national fortune is still worse than that of Qin.

"It seems that this lecture about the Kingdom of Chu must be very exciting. In the afternoon, I will attend Teacher Chen Fan's class."

"welcome."

Ended the interview with a flip.

At 2:[-] in the afternoon, Chen Fan's lecture on the Kingdom of Chu officially began.

……

"Wow, I'm stupid, they are all big leaders."

"I see, they are all leaders who are ranked first and second."

"Awesome Callas, Brother Fan can play for three days in this class."

Although many viewers were not able to attend Chen Fan's lecture live, as before, there were still live broadcasts.

Many fans picked up their phones early, waiting for Chen Fan's lecture.

at this time.

When Chen Fan came to the scene, he saw that there were many leaders of Wuzhou Province in the audience, and many fans were so shocked that the corners of their mouths tingled.

Unexpectedly, one day, a scholar-type lecturer could invite these great leaders to appear.

wrong.

Not please.

Rather, these big leaders came here specifically for Chen Fan.

……

"Hello, everyone. I'm Chen Fan. I'm very glad to be able to come to Wu Province again, to Chudi. I've always wanted to talk about Chudi, but for various reasons, I couldn't talk about it in detail. Today I am honored to receive Invited by Wu Province University, then, in the next two hours, I will share with you the land of Chu, the people of Chu, and some stories about the state of Chu during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods."

Although there are some big leaders here, Chen Fan is not too excited.

For him, he didn't want to be an official, and he didn't want to curry favor with anyone.

and so.

Even if there is a big leader sitting below, Chen Fan is still the same as before, saying what to say.

"Chu is also known as Jingchu. Before Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, our ancestors of Chu lived here. They worshiped the sun and advocated fire culture. Therefore, some cultural relics unearthed in Chu, we can see many cultural relics and fire. It is related to the elements. However, at that time, Chu had not yet formed a complete country, and most of them still appeared in the form of tribes. It was not until the appearance of Xiong Yi that Chu was formally established."

"However, Chu State at that time was a land of barbarians for the countries in the Central Plains, and Chu people were also regarded as barbarians by various countries in the Central Plains. At the beginning of the founding of the Chu State Xiong Yi, there was only the title of Viscount. The countries in the Zhou Dynasty had no status. In addition, the land of Chu State was only about 50 miles away, and the land here was very barren, and because of the constraints of production tools, there were not many resources here. Therefore, the original Chu State was very poor.”

"This is poor, how poor is it? You may not be able to imagine. It is said that when Xiong Yi was entrusted by Zhou Tianzi and came to Danyang, he wanted to build a temple for sacrificing ancestors. There are many trees in Chu, so it is relatively easy to build a temple. It was easy, and the temple was built soon. However, after Xiong Yi finished building, he found that there was no tribute for sacrifice. What to do, there was really no way, so Xiong Yi, the king of Chu, took the people to the nearby area Pangguo in Pangguo stole a calf without horns. After he stole it, he was afraid that Pangguo would find out, so he killed the calf overnight and sacrificed it. This story is called Pangguo Stealing a Cow. It is called Chu people stealing cattle. To this day, Chu people still carry out sacrifices at night."

Can you imagine?

How poor was the Chu State at the beginning?
"My God, is this Chu State?"

"Sister, this is too poor."

"Before, I always thought that Chu State was a big country. I thought he was a big country innately, but it turned out..."

Ok.

Everyone was a little dumbfounded by Chen Fan's story of "Chu people stealing cattle".

no way.

Not any vassal state is inherently good.

For example, like the state of Qi.

The first monarch of the Qi State was Jiang Ziya, who had a high status and strong ability, so he was born to be very powerful in the Qi State.

But Chu State is different.

Chu Jianguo has no status and no resources. It can be said that he is poor and has nothing.

But this is how Chu State, which had to go to nearby countries to steal cattle even for sacrifices, developed into a superpower step by step.
