I am ashamed to say that as a high school student, I have never read the history of China seriously, and I have never been able to feel anything sincerely. But when I read through the Purple Tongzhi Sword, I found my heart surging. Those historical plots seem vivid.
Chen Tang, the world hero, led an expeditionary force 3,400 kilometers away in the northwest of Chang 'an, the capital, and southwest of Balkhash Lake in Central Asia. When beheading Huns Khan, he pointed out: "Whoever dares to offend the powerful China, no matter how far away, will be shot!" Heroes, heroes, heroes, heroes.
Thousands of years later, we still hear this voice and our blood is boiling. For the sake of liberation and peace, the heroes rose up and fought bravely with the enemy. Their spirit is epic and will go down in history forever. The Xiongnu khanate finally surrendered to China, not because of the strength of China, but because of the internal division of Xiongnu. This once again proves to history that a country or nation that cannot be United is bound to be weak. Huns don't split, and Khan's head won't hang high.
However, when the future of China was bright, our king began to enjoy the luxury of food and clothing. Behind the dissolute life, tyrants, bad kings and those decadent and hypocritical slaves emerge one after another. Their cruelty and selfishness make me ashamed; I was shocked by people's groans and screams. So people learned to save themselves in troubled times.
Emperor China was killed, not since Yang Guang, but as a result of people's self-help-rallying against tyranny. It is also the first time in history that people's self-help has become the result of self-help by officers and men. Yang guang's high ability is shocking. In just 13 years, he destroyed the rich and powerful empire established by his father, Emperor Wendi Sui, and it took only five or six years to force loyal ministers to rebel. No one can do this, but Yang Guang did. His prize is a rope.
Every coup has caused the tragedy of three families being killed; Every mutiny is another dead mountain-Shouchun mutinies three times in a row, almost empty. Cunning, cruel, conspiracy, blood everywhere. However, those unsuccessful careerists only see the splendor, but they can't see the blood; I only see my bright future, but I can't see the suffering of the people. Today, it is still a hot sacred figure, tomorrow it will become a national thief, the whole family will be beheaded, and thousands of innocent men, women and children will be taken to the execution ground. The dignity of officials is maintained by naked military force. Right and wrong, right and wrong, all depend on whether you win or lose. The sharp fall of human nature has buried the gene of a more tragic fate in the future.
In the face of the tyrant's atrocities, if we meditate, we will suddenly sweat. Because, if we change places, we may really be him! How terrible. Power can change, distort and destroy human nature. Drinking the poisoned wine of unrestricted power will make beautiful women blush and have sharp teeth, not to mention an evil heart. While we hate them, we also lament for them: Why should they drink this poisonous wine?
I really appreciate Mr. Sima Guang. If there is no Purple Tongzhi Sword, I'm afraid no one in the world can provide an outline today. How lucky I am as a reader. The problem is that the historian's luck is not necessarily the historian's luck, but often even the historian's sorrow. Because I have heard too many lies from officials and too many cries from people here. This makes me cherish the memory of history and draw some lessons from it to prevent history from repeating the same mistakes.
