Mondo History Updated on 2024-02-24

The history of the Spring and Autumn Period is recorded as follows: The Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC [46]) is usually used to refer to the first half of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in China. The Spring and Autumn period ended in 476 BC (the first year of King Yuan of Zhou), for a total of 295 years. One said that it ended in 453 BC, Han, Zhao, and Wei destroyed the Zhi clan, and the other said that it stopped in 403 BC, and the three families were divided.

In these 300 years, which is neither long nor short, Spring and Autumn has experienced ups and downs in history. The cover of the book "Chinese History in Allusions (Spring and Autumn Chapter)" reads like this: 8 ancient books, 63 allusions, writing nearly 300 years of Spring and Autumn history. From this, we can see the classic allusions of the Spring and Autumn period in this book.

What 8 ancient books are involved in the History of China in Allusions (Spring and Autumn Chapter)? I sorted out each of the articles and found these ancient books: "Spring and Autumn", "Historical Records", "Tao Te Ching", "Zhuangzi", "Analects", "The Art of War", "Chinese", "Zuo Chuan" ......There are already 8 of them, and then, are there any?

In the process of reading this book, I found that most of the stories of the Spring and Autumn Period were from the ancient book "Zuo Chuan", followed by the ancient book "Historical Records", but in addition to these 8 ancient books, I found that there was an additional one from another ancient book - "The Biography of the Daughters", which is related to the doctor Bozong.

The doctor Bozong is very talented, and he is outspoken, eloquent, and domineering. His wife was worried about this and told him to be too outspoken and that he could easily get burned. One day, Bozong was said by the doctors that he was as knowledgeable as Yang Virgin's father, and Bozong's wife was worried: "Yang Virgin Father is flashy, good at words but no strategy, and finally killed himself, what is there to be happy about?" When Bozong heard this, he thought it was very reasonable, so he told his wife that he wanted to invite the doctors to come to the house to drink and let his wife check it.

The doctors came as promised, drank and talked, and the wives hid aside, listening carefully and examining the words and deeds of each doctor during the banquet. At the end of the banquet, Bozong's wife said to him: "It is true that the doctors are not as good as you, but in today's society, once something happens, disaster will definitely befall you." You should make friends with a few well-behaved and talented doctors, who can protect our son Bozhou Plough at a critical moment. ”

Bozong is not stupid, he knows that what his wife said is a very realistic thing, and he began to intentionally befriend a sage named Bi Yang. In 576 B.C., Bozong was falsely accused of murder, and his son Bozhou Li fled to Chu with the help of Bi Yang and survived.

The story of this allusion is not long, but it tells me a truth: those who say all kinds of flattering words in their mouths, if they can stay away, they should stay away, and to make friends, they must make friends with people of good character. Although we are not Bozong, but life is our own after all, and a good life may be brought about by these friends with good conduct?

The ancient books are beautiful, but it is still a little difficult for me to read, and I have always been a poor learner of classical Chinese. But by reading "Chinese History in Allusions (Spring and Autumn Chapter)", all these problems are easily solved, because in this book, in addition to recording the contents of ancient books, all the history is told in vernacular.

Just like the above "The Legend of the Daughters of the Jin Dynasty", if I were to read the history of the literary language directly, I might only be able to read a general idea, but there would still be some incomprehension of the specific content, and through the vernacular description of the chapter "The Vision of the Wife of the Jin Dynasty", I can see where the vision of the wife of the Bozong is.

This book is also too good-looking This book "Chinese History in Allusions (Spring and Autumn Chapter)" makes me particularly interesting in that the title of each article is a familiar idiom: three orders and five declarations, sitting still, betraying relatives, not asking for what you want, mountains and rivers on the surface, doing your own thing, tired of running for your life, stealing and hating the master......

After reading books and learning about history, and remembering idioms that we might blurt out in our daily lives, I suddenly felt so accomplished. After all, when I blurt out idioms, I can still tell the historical stories corresponding to the idioms, which is very shocking for many people who only know idioms but don't know history.

Chinese History in Allusions (Spring and Autumn Chapter)", this vernacular history book that tells nearly 63 allusions to 300 years of history, I finished reading The next goal is to memorize it and strive to memorize it like a stream!
