The most awesome thief in the history of China (ancient times) seems to be a thief with a single name, and I don't know how to pronounce it.

Plantar theft (zhí)

Originally known as Zhan Xiong, also known as Liu and Liu Zhanxiong, it is said that he was the younger brother of the sage at that time and the descendant of Lu's son Gongzi Exhibition, because he took Zhan as his surname. He was the leader of the slave uprising in the Warring States and the Spring and Autumn Period. The metatarsal bone is called metatarsal bone. In pre-Qin ancient books, they were falsely accused of "stealing feet" and "embarrassing feet".

Liu was a famous slave uprising leader at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, and a native of Liuxiayi, Kanzhuang Town, Zoucheng City. Liu was scolded by the rulers of past dynasties for stealing feet, and there is a saying that "people with lofty ideals don't drink water from stolen springs", which refers to him.

One more thing:

According to historical records, the slave uprising led by Liu was huge, and it grew to nearly 10,000 people in a very short time, which was called Liu Uprising in history. He pursues an equal society in which "the tiller has his food, the weaver has his clothes, and he has no intention of harming each other". Confucius advised him to follow the example of "the trip of saints" and stop fighting. Liu denounced, "I abandoned the words of autumn, and I am anxious to return. Don't say anything! " Liu's deeds have been mentioned many times in Mencius, Historical Records and Hanshu. He led the rebels to the Yellow River valley to punish evil and promote good, kill nobles, save slaves, attack the city pool and confiscate the property of slave owners. Wherever they went, the vassal states were invincible. The activities ranged from Lu State south of Mount Tai to parts of Jin State and Qi State, which dealt a heavy blow to the rule of slave owners and promoted the transformation of China's history from slavery to feudalism. Due to the suppression of the slave owners' ruling class, the uprising failed, and Liu He also died in the battle. "The scale, time, scope and influence of this uprising are unprecedented.

Xunzi praised Liu's "fame, like the sun and the moon, will spread endlessly with Shun and Yu [1]". It can be seen that his position in people's minds and the widespread influence of this uprising team in society. People miss this outstanding slave uprising leader and his great achievements. Today, in Qufu, Yanzhou and Surabaya of Jining City, and even in some areas of Zhangqiu and Henan, Liu's touching deeds are still circulating. According to legend, Liu's flag-planting stone is on Mount Tai, and the "big school field" and "small school field" in the east of the peak and the "racetrack" under the peak are here. In the west and southwest of Mount Tai, there are Shang Ma Stone and other relics used and built by Liu.

The original sentence in Xunzi's meticulous article is "However, if a gentleman is not expensive, it will be indecent." Stealing your feet and being greedy, your reputation is like the sun and the moon, spreading with Shun and Yu. However, a gentleman is neither expensive nor elegant. "

You know, Xunzi himself is an admirer of Kong Laoer, and he acted the truth with Kong Qiu's words, exonerating him for killing the sage Shao Zhengmao. He also criticized Taoism, Mohism and other schools. Even Zong survived. It is an insult to praise bootlegging with such a scholar who likes to unify his thoughts.

Brief introduction to life

About 475 BC, at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, a slave uprising of 9,000 people was led by a man in Liuxiatun (now Liutun Town, Puyang County, Henan Province) in northwest Shandong Province, which was called Liu Uprising in history. The rebels fought in the Yellow River valley, and the vassal states were invincible. It dealt a heavy blow to the rule of slave owners and promoted the transformation of China's history from slavery to feudalism. The scale, duration, scope and influence of the uprising are unprecedented.

In the Spring and Autumn Period. Eight years of hidden tribute, there is a cloud: "There is no skeleton in winter, and the feather father asks for a surname." This led to a discussion about the origin of surnames. Boneless Sikong was given the surname Exhibition, that is, Liu Xiahui, the ancestor of Lu Guozhan's surname, also known as Exhibition Season, was the son of Boneless Sikong, while the thief was a figure of the same era as Kong Laoer, and should be between Zhao Gong and Aigong. That is to say, he was a figure over 500 BC, and the toe thief was about 500 BC, with a difference of 100 years, so the toe thief may be called Liu.

Some people slander the thief's foot as the ancestor of the thief, but many historians cannot agree with this view. There are many books in history that mention stealing feet, not just in Zhuangzi. Stealing chickens and eating rice can be said to be a hero among thieves. What Liang Shanbo strictly carried out in The Water Margin was his slogan of praising China's feudal society for thousands of years-"Even thieves have a way".

And stealing feet made Kong Qiu, a buffoon, speechless, which fully exposed the hypocrisy of Confucianism. Moreover, Confucius died in 479 BC and Yan Hui died in 482 BC, so it is entirely possible to meet him. Zhuangzi Zapian Stealing Twenty-nine Feet is a derivative of Liu Tongscold, a work published by a famous modern writer under the pseudonym of Tosiwn Tang. This article was adapted from Zhuangzi and was first published in the second issue of Historical Research in 1977. Although it was refuted by some pedants, it was recognized by most people.
