Win the government.
Qin Shi Huang is recognized as the first emperor of the ages, but the historical evaluation is polarized, and it is more cruel, regarded as a tyrant. Qin's law is too harsh and abuses the people's power, but it is only harsh, and it is difficult to call it violent. Throughout the emperors of the past dynasties, the Qin Emperor is difficult to match, and his violence is really unworthy.
If you want to describe our country, I think the first word that most people think of must be a long history, a vast land, this is the thing we are most proud of. The history of the country is no more than 1,000 years, and the United States and Canada are even shorter, but only 2 or 300 years, which is almost a fraction of ours. Those with a long history, such as Egypt, ancient Rome, etc., have long been cut off, and that is like us passed down from generation to generation, and it still exists today. Chinese civilization, if judged by time, is already thousands of years old, can it not be proud?
The history is long, this is time, the land is vast, this is space, so these two words are the most suitable, but also the most general, the most figurative expression. For the long history, we will proudly call ourselves the descendants of Yan and Huang, the descendants of the dragon, but when it comes to the motherland, it is a bit confusing, or China. However, this concept of China only came later, our motherland is by no means more than 70 years, and our ancestors are not the same motherland as us? We often confuse the state with the state, the state is the entity, the mountains and rivers within the territory of the country, and the cultural inheritance that multiplies in it, and culture is the foundation. Only when the cultural heritage changes, the country will change with it, the old will die out, the new will be born, the culture will not change, the country will not change, even if the regime keeps changing. Our motherland or country used to be maple leaf-shaped, and now it is a rooster-shaped piece of Chinese land, and the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, including today's Chinese republicans, are just a change of political power or **, the core remains unchanged, and the country and culture have a long history. If there is only one word to describe Chinese culture, there is no doubt that Hao is unified. Great unification is the genetic code of Chinese civilization, which has long been integrated into the blood and bone marrow of every descendant of Yan and Huang, and cannot be separated, living and dying together. The genes of our great unification originate from **, Qin!
We are deeply proud and proud of the long history of the motherland, the vast land and rich resources, so should we be grateful to its true creator, at least, he deserves the memory and respect of everyone who thinks that he is a descendant of Yan Huang and recognizes the identity of Chinese. Before the reign of Yingzheng, there was only a co-lord in the world, and the princes were in constant turmoil, and it was the King of Qin who swept Liuhe and established a unified Qin Dynasty. Unifying the language, promoting the integration of nationalities, and changing the feudal system into the county system, greatly dissipated the flames of war, and injected the gene of great unification into our culture. Qin Shi Huang may not have the grand ideal of seeking peace for the world and the well-being of all the people, his goal is only to eliminate the Six Kingdoms, only Qin is the only one, he wants to be the king for the sky, and he wants to pass on the descendants of all generations, very personal, very selfish, and even a little vulgar. But whether it is unintentional, unintentional, selfish, or personal, the collateral effect of his measures has affected the future, and the Great Qin Empire has only been passed down for two generations, but the political system he formulated has become a model for the world, and the great unification he created is like a golden rule. Yanhuang is the root of the nation, and the Qin Emperor (Qin Dynasty) is the foundation of the country. If we put aside the view of the family and the world, and only consider the national political system, cultural core, and territorial scope, Yingzheng is a veritable first emperor, and the later Han emperors, Tang emperors, and Song Zuming kings are just hovering in his palms, looking over his shoulders, and making inertial exchanges on the dual track of centralization and unification. The biggest creation is the imperial examination, and it is only to improve the system, and in general, it is all about tinkering. The benefits of great unification are in the future, and the film "Hero" may subjectively elevate Qin Shi Huang, because no one can confirm that Qin Shi Huang has this essence, and it is also not 100% possible to say that there is no point, people are complicated. Regardless of the subjectivity, the objective effect is so, dominating the world, the world is peaceful. Reunification is peace, and looking at the world today is like looking at the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
History cannot be assumed, I don't know if without Qin Shi Huang, China's great unification would have become the mainstream, I only know that there have been several superpowers in the world, including the Great Yuan, all of which were short-lived, and only our country was an exception. When I think about it, Qin Shi Huang did two things that others couldn't, one was to unify the written language culturally, including weights and measures. Cultural identity is so important, and it goes without saying that words are the root of culture. I'm a little strange, the Qin Dynasty is only fifteen years old, how did Qin Shi Huang make such a unified script? Obviously, it is inseparable from the iron-blooded policy, perhaps it has something to do with the burning of books and the pit of Confucianism, and the number of people in the pit is more than 400. Qin Shi Huang was anxious for quick success, and the punishment was harsh, but he was not cruel and unkind. The pit Confucianism was to anger and seek immortals, but it was ridiculed and discussed, so more than 400 people related to it were killed, not intentionally killing Confucianism, let alone killing Confucianism when they saw it, it was irrational under anger. The main reason is that the impact is not good, so it is infamous. To put it mildly, the number of intellectuals who died during the Cultural Revolution is estimated to be dozens of times that. If this is not the case, when will the unified script be unified, and when will the great unification be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people? Pollution first and then treatment, how can we comment on it? Confucius deleted the poem 3,000 to the poem 300, is it also destroying culture? Some books are extinguished without waiting for the Qin fire, and some books are burned endlessly. It must be wrong to burn books and pit Confucianism, is it the only one in the ages, and this is the only one? It is Qin Shi Huang's fault or a big mistake to burn books and pit Confucianism, but we can't just focus on this point, turn a blind eye to the contributions, and erase them all. is even more opposed to exaggeration, elevated to a tyrant, secretly washed his own blood robe, and whipped Qin's corpse to prove his benevolence and righteousness. Qin Fa is harsh, Qin Shi Huang is really not brutal.
The second is that Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall. At first, I really thought that the Great Wall was built from scratch because of Qin Shi Huang. The truth is not, Yan Zhao and other countries have long had the Great Wall to reject the Xiongnu, and of course Qin has it. Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries and connected the Great Wall of the six countries, which lasted for thousands of miles. It is said that Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, not all of it, otherwise, how can it afford to build thousands of miles for more than ten years? Even so, the construction of the Great Wall is still a very huge project, it is precisely because of the Qin Emperor's transitional abuse of people's power, Qin law and Jun, that led to the death of the Qin Dynasty II, it is not good to say, this is the retribution of Qin Shi Huang. But the role of the Great Wall is very large, otherwise it will not be repaired in all six countries, and then all dynasties will have to repair it, and it may only be repaired by the Yuan and Qing dynasties. Although the Great Wall could not completely block the hooves of the nomads going south, it was impossible for a small group of people to run away with a single shot, and the safety was greatly improved, which greatly contributed to the stability and production of border passes. If there is no Great Wall, the entire border defense is undefended, and the importance of the Great Wall, I don't think I need to say more. The only great unified dynasty in history that lost the Great Wall was the Song Dynasty, which was famous for its poverty and weakness, and could only rely on annual tribute to buy peace, regardless of whether it treated Western Xia or Liaojin. Although there is the influence of the national policy of emphasizing literature over military force, it is also a major problem to lose the protection of the Great Wall and have no risk to rely on.
The Great Wall is not only the protection line of reality, protecting the Great Wall, very coincidentally roughly the dividing line between farming and nomadism, people are divided into groups, things are gathered by like, and after a long time, the Great Wall has become the psychological protection line of the farming people, the psychological suggestion line, and the psychological identity line: as long as it is within the Great Wall, it is our home (farming). After the unification, the enemies were all nomads from the north, and unanimity and cooperation with the outside world were the independent choice of agricultural culture and the best way out. For various reasons, there is an example of Qin's unification, the cultural background of the same text, the practical role and psychological effect of the Great Wall, and the confrontation between internal and external cultures, so the Great Wall has formed a similar closed living environment (the southeast is the sea, and it is the moat), and correspondingly, it is a relatively stable cultural ecology, and the stability is nothing more than the sameness, so the ideological unity and the great unification echo the surface and the inside, continuously. Other superpowers, without Qin Shi Huang, without a unified script, without the Great Wall, without a relatively closed ecological environment, it is difficult to form a cohesive force, into a whole, open borders will collapse as soon as they rush, and once they collapse, they will be blurred, and it will be difficult to re-converge.
The Han Dynasty was lucky, just like the Tang Dynasty. I don't know if you have noticed, the two most powerful dynasties in China have a short-lived dynasty in front of them as wedding dresses. Qin's unification of writing, the construction of the Great Wall, the construction of Chi Road, and the Sui repair of the Grand Canal are all beneficial to the future, but they consume a lot of national strength and people's hearts. If Qin Sui was not in a hurry and could survive the second generation smoothly, it is estimated that there may be no Han and Tang dynasties in history. Qin Sui laid the foundation of the Han and Tang dynasties, and the standard front dynasty planted trees, and the latter dynasty left cool. The Qin Dynasty was even more wronged, if the first emperor died late, or Fusu succeeded to the throne, or the second virtuous such as Fusu, the Qin Dynasty may not be able to save.
Qin Shi Huang's three major crimes, burning books and pit Confucianism, abusing people's power, and ruthless law. This may be related to life experience, Qin Wangzheng is actually a poor baby. In the fiftieth year of King Qin Zhao, Qin besieged Handan very urgently, Zhao wanted to kill Zichu to vent his anger, Zichu and Lü Buwei bought the guards with 600 gold, sneaked out of Handan, ran into the Qin army and returned to Qin. The Zhao people couldn't find Zichu, so they wanted to kill Yingzheng's mother and son, and the historical records said that Zheng's mother was the daughter of a rich family of Zhao Guo, and she had to hide with the help of her family to escape the catastrophe. At that time, Yingzheng was four years old, and it was not until he was ten years old that Zichu became the crown prince, and Zhao sent his mother and son back to Qin. Lacking father's love for a long time, sending people under the fence, and being a proton, this experience of left-behind children must have hurt Ying Zheng's little heart, so that later broke Handan, Ying Zheng went to Handan in person, and killed all the people who bullied his mother and son back then, which shows the depth of the injury. Three years after returning to Qin, Zichu died, Ying's mother first relived the old dream with Lü Buwei, and then lived with Chang Yu and had children, and discussed that if Yingzheng died, they would make their children the king of Qin. I wonder how to stand? Their children are not Qin, and it is estimated that they seized power in a coup d'état. Ying Zheng became the king of Qin at the age of thirteen, and when he was young, Lü Buwei was in power, and he was called the middle father. You are the king of Qin, and your father abandons her mother's back, like an abandoned child, humiliating and humiliating, and dangerous. In the end, Chang Yu really rebelled, besieged the palace and wanted to kill Yingzheng, between life and death. With such an experience and such an environment, it is not surprising that Ying Zheng has fallen out of love since he was young and has become ruthless. Despite this, Yingzheng is still very open-minded, able to listen to advice, abolish the expulsion of guests, welcome his mother, and implement the county system. Abuse of people's power, excessively harsh laws and regulations, ruthlessness, thinking that the law is frightening and conducive to rule, and completely ignoring the justice of human feelings, this is a psychological obstacle after the trauma of the soul. became a great achievement, and after reunification, he traveled everywhere, like Xiang Yu said that the rich and noble do not return to their hometowns, such as the show-off mentality of brocade clothes at night, so they sealed the sky everywhere. These are very likely to come from a kind of compensation psychology, and I privately think that Yingzheng actually has psychological problems, quite like Lu Xun said, hateful people must have pity. It is very likely that Qin Huangzheng has not felt much care and love in his life, and it is very likely that he has few friends.
Even if Qin Shi Huang is really brutal, he is not like other tyrannical kings in history, he does practical things, and his merits far outweigh his faults. **And Qin Shi Huang is actually a bit similar,** It is obvious that he also appreciates the Qin Emperor, at least he can fairly evaluate the Qin Emperor, and he has a poem:
Persuade the monarch to scold Qin Shi Huang less, and the cause of burning the pit should be discussed.
The soul of the ancestral dragon is still dead, and the scientific name of Confucius is Gao Shizhen.
Hundreds of generations have practiced Qin politics and law, and ten batches are not good articles.
Familiar with the feudal theory of the Tang Dynasty, Mo Congzi Hou returned to King Wen.
Qin Shi Huang was an epoch-making figure who created a new history. ** is also an epoch-making figure, I also hope that China can enter a new history, truly end feudal history, and start a new chapter. Great unification can be retained, replaced by democracy, people-oriented, and advancing with the times.
