Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 249

Ancient people, dare to help the blackmailed old man?
This seemingly weird and funny question immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

Yes!

If helping the elderly was blackmailed in ancient times, what would be the result?

When this question was raised, the host Lin Feng actually had a lot of thoughts.

This is an impetuous society. People lack faith and become selfish and greedy. There are many cases of cheating and blackmailing.

Walking on the street, when encountering an elderly person who has fallen, due to various reasons, many people have to think twice about whether to help them.

When encountering someone struggling on the verge of life, one has to think about whether to save or not.

He also knew that it wasn't that the kind-hearted people didn't want to save them, but that they had a lot of worries.

It's things like this that make this society apathetic and disappointed.

however.

Being brave and helpful has been the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation for thousands of years!

Some people say that too many people give up doing good deeds because they don't get rewarded for doing good deeds;

Are these reasons justifications?It begs the question, what happened to our society?It has been suggested that indifference should be criminalized, but many would find it ludicrous.

"Our society has indeed lost a lot of human touch."

"There will never be a shortage of kind and good people, but those bad people who get blackmailed for nothing make the good people chill."

"It can be said that a grain of mouse droppings spoils a pot of porridge."

"The folk customs in ancient times were simple and simple. I think that if they met an elderly person who fell, they would definitely help them."

"Some time ago, I saw an old man fall into the rain, his mouth and nose were covered by running water, and dozens of people passed by, but no one gave a helping hand. It was really sad!"

"Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty is right. Our modern society more than 1000 years later, the so-called civilized etiquette is not as good as the primitive society thousands of years ago."

"As far as I know, the ancient laws are strict. Once it is found out, you will definitely be imprisoned, and if it is serious, you will be implicated, or even be executed."

"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, a false accusation is reversed. If the accusation of framing the other party is proven to be a false accusation, the accuser shall bear the accusation. For example, after A murders, C falsely accuses D of murder. After the trial is clear, both A and C will be beheaded."

"I only know that if ordinary people in ancient times dared to blackmail nobles with noble status, they would end up miserable."

"Imagine this scene... Do you know who I am, my young master, how dare you blackmail me on my head! You are so daring! Come on! Tie this old guy up and throw him into the river!"

"Hahaha, there's nothing wrong with it. In ancient times, class status was only talked about. It doesn't matter whether you are blackmailing real or fake, as long as your status is low, it will be useless if you have caused widespread social repercussions."

"Life in ancient times was really not that valuable."

"At that time, there was no media fermentation. If you dare to blackmail, you will die very quickly."

……

What did the emperors of the Song Dynasty think?
Zhao Kuangyin took the lead and said, "Mr. Lin, do you know that as early as the Tang Dynasty, there was a "crime of indifference" against this!"

Lin Feng asked in surprise, "Is indifference a sin?"

Zhao Kuangyin said, "In the Tang Dynasty, indifference was not only a crime, but also a felony!"

Regarding this statement, Lin Feng had never heard of it before, "Taizu, this junior is all ears."

Zhao Kuangyin said that the so-called crime of indifference may sound unbelievable in the later generations of 1000 years, but it did exist in the Tang Dynasty.

According to Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's statement.

There is a code in the Tang Dynasty, "Tang Law Shu Discussing the Law of Thieves and Robbery", which stipulates that when a robbery or homicide occurs, the victim's family and neighbors, "songwu" (five households are one wu) and "biwu" (nearby) 5 households) must immediately report to the official, "If you don't report, you will be charged sixty a day."

It also stipulates: "When criminals take hostages, "the minister and the neighbors will know that those who avoid the hostages will be punished for years."

it means:
"If you see a crime, if you have the ability to go up and stop it, but you don't act, I'm sorry, and you will be sentenced to two years in prison."

If this standard is followed, then the case where the gangster beat Ms. Wu to death with a mop at the McDonald's in Zhaoyuan, Yantai completely meets this standard.At that time, there was only one male criminal, plus 6 women, and that male beat the victim to death with a mop. Just ask the people around him, not to mention fighting with the gangster, even if he pulled it, it would definitely not be the result now.

From this point of view, the crime of indifference imposed by the Tang Dynasty is definitely a great gift!
Moreover, the crime of indifference in the Tang Dynasty is not limited to this, not only is it a crime of indifference to not stop crimes.

It is also a sin to be indifferent when meeting others in an accident.

"Tang Laws Shuyi Miscellaneous Laws" contains: "If you see a fire, you should report it or not, and you should save it or not, and the crime of fire will be reduced."

It roughly means: "If you were born in the Tang Dynasty, and you happen to see a fire, and you don't save it, then the person who set the fire has rebelled for two years, and you have to spend one year."

According to this inference, it will be fun, we can understand it like this:

"If you see an old man who falls and doesn't help you, if you don't help him when you should, the crime of causing an accident will be reduced to a second class."

"If you see someone jumping off a building, you should persuade them not to make a fuss, and reduce the crime of intentional homicide to second class."

"Seeing that someone commits suicide live on the Internet, he should be persuaded to live instead of dead, and the crime of intentional murder will be reduced to a second class."

According to these statements, in our prosperous Tang Dynasty in China, scumbags had no way out.

At this time.

Song Gaozong Zhao Gouheng took a step forward and said, "Mr. Lin, strictly speaking, the crime of "doing nothing but refusing to save" and the crime of "false accusation" should have been established in the Qin Dynasty."

Zhao Gou, who reused the traitor Qin Hui and killed General Yue, lived a long life and died in his 80s.

The older you are, the more books you read.

Lin Feng didn't have a good face towards him, even if you are a senior and ancient, the things you did are really not good.

A little embarrassed, Zhao Gou could only think to himself:
"Qin Law stipulates: When a thief kills or hurts someone, no matter whether the victim is a man or a woman, if the person within a hundred steps stands idly by and refuses to help, he shall be punished with two sets of armor. an obligation."

"At the same time, the Qin Dynasty stipulated that for the situation of blackmailing and framing others: intentionally fabricating facts and charges to falsely accuse others constitutes a crime of false accusation. The false accuser implements the principle of anti-sitting, that is, the punishment of the falsely accused person is reversed to sanction the false accuser. See Death will be punished, and blackmail and frame-up will be severely punished."

"As for the reward for being brave, it is stipulated that whoever captures the fugitive thief, if the captured person has money on him, the money will belong to the capturer."

Hearing these words, Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and he instinctively believed that the laws of the Qin Dynasty were more than 2000 years ago.

Maybe it can be applied to modern society?

of course.

This kind of thing needs to be studied with modern professional elites to discuss the feasibility.

Lin Feng asked, "Taizu, did the Song Dynasty have such ghost tripods?"

Song Renzong took the lead to answer, "Mr. Lin, after the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, Tang Dynasty and other systems have been perfected. For example, if someone robs in the market, he will be arrested by passers-by before long. So the Song Dynasty There were very few prisoners who absconded."

Big guy watching the live show.

There was also a viewer who found the laws of the Ming Dynasty and published them on mainstream websites:

"The Ming Dynasty was even more aggressive than ever before. Zhu Yuanzhang, who came from a poor background, even ordered that passers-by help officials catch five or ten thieves, and they can get an official position. This greatly enhanced people's enthusiasm for doing justice. .”

This barrage was quickly picked up and liked by netizens, becoming the hottest barrage at the moment.

Lin Feng smiled helplessly.

Qing Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, etc., more than 2000 years of ancient Chinese time.

There are laws promulgated against "seeing death without saving" to prevent blackmail incidents, prevent good people from chilling, and prevent bad people from succeeding, so that the social atmosphere can maintain a high level of civilized order.

but.

Why has society become so indifferent in the more developed modern age of 0222?
Our economy has improved, but civilization has regressed!

"Mencius" records that a student asked Mencius if his sister-in-law fell into the water, should he be rescued?

Mencius said: "If you don't save your sister-in-law, you are being unkind. If you don't save your sister-in-law because of your reputation, then this person must be a hypocrite."

Mencius believes that there is no need to be too rigid about etiquette, and that benevolence and righteousness are the real etiquette.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng turned around, straightened his back, and looked at the live camera.

He has a handsome face, a firm expression, and extremely firm eyes.

In full view.

Lin Feng issued his appeal word by word:
I hope that all Chinese people in modern times, under the guidance of the state and the self-discipline of the people, will bid farewell to indifference, and will no longer be able to create a warm and civilized society by enacting the decree of "seeing death without saving" like the ancients.

Since then.

This social problem, following Lin Feng's words, the discussion among netizens reached its peak.

Discussions on this aspect have directly occupied the hot topic of the entire network today.

Many people are beginning to believe it.

In a short time, in our current indifferent society, those incidents of being helpless will be gone forever, and the hearts of good people who are chilling will gradually warm their hearts...
