Since ancient times, outstanding and intelligent people have never stopped exploring and pursuing the universe. Whether it is the mysterious interpretation of world problems by ancient people or the scientific analysis of world problems by modern people, they are all different processes of world problem exploration.
In the 5,000-year-long history of Chinese civilization, historians have left behind a wealth of literary and historical materials, which are not only empirical evidence of ancient historical changes, but also valuable wealth for us to learn from.
However, when historians read these materials, they found a surprising phenomenon, that is, there are indescribable similarities between the three events that occurred in the history of our country, as if to tell us that the world is a cycle of reincarnation.
There are three amazing coincidences in history, one of which happened to Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. At that time, he was still a small pavilion chief in the Qin Dynasty, and was ordered to escort criminals to do hard labor.
However, an accident occurred along the way, which completely changed his life. The ups and downs of his life experience are quite similar to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who climbed up from the bottom.
They all shared the same determination and perseverance to change their fate.
It turned out that the prisoners were not very loyal to the Qin emperor, and with the brutal rule of Qin Shi Huang, they could die at any time. Therefore, Liu Bang's negligence gave them a chance to escape.
Although Liu Bang found out about this, he was helpless. As the pavilion chief, he must bear responsibility for dereliction of duty. Under these circumstances, Liu Bang made a bold decision: to escape from the rule of the Qin dynasty with the remaining prisoners.
According to records, Liu Bang encountered a large python halfway through the road, blocking their way. Everyone was frightened, but Liu Bang stepped forward and cut the python into two pieces with one sword.
The prisoners were impressed by Liu Bang's bravery and expressed their allegiance. The python has been removed, and Liu Bang's prestige in the hearts of the prisoners has been established. He always wanted to lead these people to do something big.
When night fell, Liu Bang was already immersed in a deep dream. However, he dreamed that the serpent appeared again. The serpent warns him that their murderous feud cannot coexist, and if he establishes a new dynasty, the serpent will not show mercy to him, but will take it **.
This prophecy seemed destined to come true, because later Liu Bang did establish the Han Dynasty, and his later generations were also usurped by Wang Mang, forming the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although this event is recorded in the Historical Records, the true circumstances are unknown.
In the Sui Dynasty, another coincidental event in history was that although the Great Sui Dynasty disappeared after only two generations of kings, Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Wen of Sui left a strong mark in Chinese history.
Compared with the benevolent government of his father, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui implemented a strict tax policy during his reign, which made life difficult for the common people. According to historical records, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty forced many hard-working people to dig the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal for him in order to satisfy his desire for pleasure.
Although the construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was huge, it brought a major impetus to the development of later generations, but this project, which not only harmed the present generation but also benefited the future generations, caused widespread public indignation at the time.
Although Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang of Sui are father and son, their personalities are very different. Emperor Wen of Sui advocated governing the world with benevolence, righteousness, morality and benevolence, but after Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, he changed his father's ruling policy and implemented **, which triggered a popular uprising to a certain extent.
Li Shimin once said that the emperor is like a flat boat, although it is supreme, it still needs the water of the people to carry it. Emperor Yang of Sui only saw his own merits, but ignored the suffering of the people, and was finally overthrown by the people, and the Tang Dynasty also replaced the Great Sui.
This resemblance to the death of the second emperor also occurred in the Song Dynasty, where Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, was a king who started his own business, but his entrepreneurial conditions were more advantageous than those of Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bang.
Before the yellow robe was added, Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong formed a deep brotherhood. However, when Chai Rong was seriously ill, Zhao Kuangyin betrayed his promise, took the opportunity to push Chai Rong's son off the throne, usurped the throne himself, and completely betrayed Chai Rong's entrustment and their brotherhood.
Zhao Kuangyin, who was originally at ease, was relieved of the military power of the generals and heroes because of a drunken move, and has been famous all over the world since then. However, he never expected that his great Song Jiangshan would come to an end in the hands of a 7-year-old child.
Under the impact of the Mongol iron cavalry, the Great Song Dynasty quickly declined. When the Great Song Dynasty was facing its demise, the ministers pushed the last emperor Zhao Yu off the cliff in order to prevent him from becoming a prisoner of the enemy, and Zhao Hao, who was only 7 years old, died.
History is like a drama that repeats itself, whether it is during thousands of years of feudal rule, or under the rule of more than 400 emperors, the change of imperial power, the rise and fall of dynasties, there are always similarities.
Although we cannot be sure of the truth of these events, nor can we be sure of the accuracy of the historical records, these are people's speculations and understandings of history.
The course of history is unstoppable, and all we can do is to follow the trend of historical development. No matter how the times change and history evolves, it is always moving forward.
