In the hearts of China literati, they revere the emperor. In their view, as long as a person can sit on the throne of "emperor", he must be a great man and an extraordinary superman. The emperor descended from the sky, sacred and inviolable, beyond the understanding of all beings. The emperor raped a woman, which is called luck. The emperor came out of the mountain to make an unannounced visit. The emperor killed innocent people indiscriminately, which was called the wrath of Tianwei. When the emperor dies, it is called death. In short, in the eyes of China literati, the emperor is God, the emperor is spirit, the emperor is the general representative of power and system, law and morality, and the emperor is the spokesman of the people. When power reaches a certain level, there is no need to distinguish between right and wrong, right and wrong, beauty and ugliness, truth and falsehood, black and white, good and evil, and troubled times. Thank God for everything. No wonder the emperor in the eyes of China literati is so good!
"Emperor" is the "God" of China literati. In the eyes of China people, power is the supreme God, the representative of world justice and the sum of all laws. The supreme representative of power is the "emperor". Therefore, the emperor is the God of China people. People in China believe in ghosts and gods, but they are all false. They also know that they are deceiving themselves. Because, in their bones, only the "emperor" really believes. From belief to worship, from worship to obsession, from obsession to self-loss. China walked out of a road of "three knocks and nine worships" and "never forgetting" the emperor.
The emperor is the soul of China literati. In the feudal society of more than 3,000 years, China people have never found their own souls, because only the emperor is the soul of China people. China's favorite names are "Long live, long live, long live" and "Thank God for his mercy". China people can serve the emperor, which is an identity; Being driven by the emperor is a status; Being used by the emperor is a kind of happiness; It is an honor to be played by the emperor. Unable to offer advice to the emperor, Qu Yuan was depressed and finally threw himself into the river. Li Bai was useless to the emperor, so he sent him out, laughed and went out. Is it the roar of our generation? Sima Qian was able to settle down to write historical records after his feet were cut off by the emperor. Confucius' career was not smooth, and he hit a wall everywhere before teaching and educating people. He has 3000 disciples.
"Emperor" is the "root" of China literati. A country cannot be without a monarch, and a country cannot be without a master. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain and two kings in one country. The emperor is one, "one life two", "two lives three" and "three lives are everything". From then on, everything will be brilliant. Because, in the feudal system of China for thousands of years, the emperor was the father of the whole people, the beginning of human relations and the source of happiness for the people. Therefore, China people like the emperor from the bottom of their bones, respect him from the bottom of their hearts, and imitate him from their words and deeds. It is precisely because of this that the emperors described by China literati are vivid and lovely.
