"Historical Records: The Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin" recorded: "Qin Zhigang is absolutely relaxed, Shandong is disturbed, different surnames are combined, and handsome Wuji." Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it, so those with high quality and foot were the first to get it. The dog barks Yao, Yao is not unkind, and the dog is not its master because of barking. When it was, the minister only knew Han Xin, not His Majesty. And there are many people in the world who want to do what His Majesty does, and they can't listen to it. Can you do all the evil? So today, let's take a look at what the "deer" in the historical records "Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it" refers to?
Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it" in "The deer" refers to the throne, which means that the Qin Dynasty has lost its dominance, and all the heroes of the world can compete for it. Of course, this sentence can also be replaced by "chasing the Central Plains". The reason for chasing deer is because of the prevalent hunting style in the pre-Qin period, such as the "Hufu Cavalry Shooting" implemented by King Wuling of Zhao ("Historical Records" records: "In the first month of the nineteenth year, the Great Dynasty Xingong summoned Feiyi and discussed the world, and it was completed in five days, so he ordered Yi Hufu, changed the military system, and practiced riding and shooting. And the deer was one of the most common prey at that time, and the Qin Dynasty after the death of Qin Shi Huang was as tempting as an ownerless deer, and whoever could catch it could enjoy the benefits.
Not only that, "Spring and Autumn Xianggong Fourteenth Year" also recorded: "Jin Yu is above, Rong is below, Qin Shi is gone, and I am really Rong." For example, hunting deer, Jin people's horns, Zhu Rong, and Jin Jizhi, why is Rong inevitable? It is also a metaphor for the struggle for power by depicting the scene of the deer hunt.
So why is Qin losing his deer and the world chasing him, instead of Qin losing his tiger, his bear, and his wolf? This starts with the Shang King Wu Ding, Wu Ding is the nephew of the Shang King Pan Geng, the twenty-second monarch of the Shang Dynasty, during his reign, he was diligent in political affairs, so that the Shang Dynasty's politics, economy, military and culture have been unprecedentedly developed, and the later history is called "Wu Ding Prosperous Age". Wu Ding, the king of Shang, was very fond of deer hunting, and would also perform divination before chasing deer, divining the weather conditions and blessings on the day of the deer.
In addition, the Shang king Wuding would also send people to reconnoiter if there were deer infested outside the city, and if so, he would immediately go out to hunt. And sometimes in order to chase the deer, you can run on the land of the Central Plains for several days in a row, ignoring the government and politics. In addition, in ancient times, the deer was a very precious animal, deer blood, deer antlers, and deer bones could all be used as medicine, plus in Taoist mythology, the mount of the Antarctic immortal was a white deer, so only a certain level of nobility was eligible to participate in the deer chase. If any emperor loses the qualification to compete for the deer, it means that he loses the throne.
Finally, I would like to attach a poem about chasing deer in the Central Plains, Ming Dynasty Yin Geng's "Xiang Yu Tomb": The Quartet competes for deer, and three households can die in Qin. What's new, it's the same thing. The donor line is reversed, and the collision loses the minister. If you leave the soil today, you should be ashamed of the sword man.
