This is the beginning of the era of the collapse of etiquette and happiness, and the ideas of Legalism and Zonghengjia began. I have to say that if there is no Zhou Gong, people don't know etiquette, just like savages. If Guan Zhong hadn't broken through the confinement of Zhou Li, the land of China would probably be a different scenery.
Guan Zhong can be said to be the first minister of ancient China.
In 686 BC, there was a palace civil strife in the Qi State, the monarch Qi Xianggong was killed, and Gongzi Xiaobai became the biggest winner and successfully became the monarch of the Qi State, that is, the first hegemon of the Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants, the Duke of Qi Huan.
Guan Zhong was recommended by his friend Bao Shuya, and Qi Huan learned that Guan Zhong was a genius in governing the country and the country, and he didn't care about Guan Zhong's revenge for assassination with one arrow, and resolutely appointed Guan Zhong as the prime minister, presiding over all state affairs, and in order to eliminate all obstacles, he respectfully called him "Zhong Father".
Guan Zhong was impressed by Qi Huangong's bearing, and he also put his old grievances behind him, and wholeheartedly assisted Qi Huangong in governing Qi Guo. It's not so much an assistant as a direct let go of Guan Zhong to do it. Qi Huan often patronized the Qinglou when he had nothing to do, and there were many romantic incidents from this.
The legalization of Guan Zhong's Qinglou attracted high-ranking officials and nobles from other countries and merry sons to linger.
After a series of reforms by Guan Zhong, it showed a Qi country with developed agriculture and prosperous social economy.
Due to the continuous wars before the Qi State, there were more women than men in the country, and after the reform, most men owned more land, wealth and power. Their family structure formed a monogamous and one-concubine structure to show their social status and wealth.
This structure was considered the norm at the time and was widely accepted and accepted.
He carried out a series of reforms, making the Qi State stronger and stronger, and the first to achieve the hegemony of the Spring and Autumn Period, "Nine Princes, One Kuang World".
