Baidu's explanation of "the sea of abundance" originally meant "the sea of moon gods". Although it is called "Feng", it is actually lacking in goodness. The Sea of Abundance is also the finale of Yukio Mishima, a contemporary Japanese writer. It is said that this work has brought Mishima aesthetics to the extreme. I don't want to talk about cheating or Mishima today. I want to give the word "rich and rich ocean" to a great dynasty in China-Qin Dynasty!
Anyone who has studied history knows that the Qin Dynasty was the first unified dynasty in the history of China, which was developed by the State of Qin at the end of the Warring States Period. From 22 1 year BC to 207 BC, only 15 years have passed, and III has passed (many history books ignore III because there are only more than 40 days). But it is such a short-lived dynasty that really left a rich sea for the Chinese nation. Throughout the present, whether in culture, ideology or administrative system, the source comes from the Qin Dynasty. His life has existed in China for thousands of years in another form, and it is still full of vitality. ...
The Reforms of Shang Yang
? Shang Yang's political reform took place before the unification of Qin Dynasty, which was a profound social change in the history of China. Shang Yang lived in the mid-Warring States period, and wars of vassal separatism and annexation were frequent. In order to make Qin rich and establish a unified feudal empire, he successively carried out two political reform activities with "agricultural war" and "rule of law" as the core, which effectively dealt a blow to the old system of "learning from foreigners" and the old relations of production, made the backward Qin State a first-class power that overwhelmed the six countries, and laid a solid foundation for Qin Shihuang's later unification of China.
Abolish the system of being a noble slave owner, abolish the imperial clan privilege, and redefine the rank and treatment of official titles according to the size of military achievements. Junior soldiers who heroically killed the enemy in the war can also obtain official titles, abolish slavery in mining fields, and legally recognize private ownership of land and the right to buy and sell. Encourage men to plow and women to weave, and implement the policy of emphasizing agriculture and restraining business. Strengthen centralization and generally implement the county system. Officials are directly appointed and removed by the central government; At the same time, household registration is compiled, and unified weights and measures and standard measurement are formulated and issued by the central government, which is conducive to tax and economic exchanges.
After Shang Yang's political reform, the state of Qin took on a new look. From a backward country to a powerful country with a strong army and a strong vassal, there has been a situation of "the family is sufficient for the people, the people are brave in public war, and they dare not fight privately, and the towns rule".
After the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, Shang Yang's new law continued to be implemented, and the national conditions of Qin State further developed, which laid the foundation for Qin Shihuang to destroy the six countries and unify China.
Seeing Shang Yang's political reform today brings us not only the idea that change can liberate productive forces and promote social and economic progress, but more importantly, it breaks the solidification of class and promotes the flow of talents. China's reform policy after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee should be in the same strain: flexible, open and eclectic.
? There is also the administrative system of state governance established by the Qin dynasty-the county system, which broke the local separatist regime and strengthened centralization, and is still in use today.
Shu Tongwen
Walking in today's motherland, no matter where you are, you can't understand all kinds of dialects, but if you put the language into words, everyone will understand. A book can be circulated in 9.6 million square kilometers of land, 56 ethnic groups and/kloc-0.3 billion people without any obstacles. This is the power of words! This is the power of unified writing! When we know the same word from generation to generation, we will recognize the same ancestor and the same culture. Today, the country is so vast that you don't have to worry about communication, traffic and even safety when you walk, so don't forget the Qin Dynasty and Qin Shihuang.
During the warring States period, when the vassal regime was divided, there was no certain system and structural law in writing. This has caused many obstacles to the implementation of government decrees and cultural exchanges throughout the country. After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, most people didn't know the imperial edict of going to Guilin, so it was urgent to unify the written language. Therefore, in 22 1 year BC, Qin Shihuang ordered "the same book", and prime ministers Li Si, Zhao Gao, Hu Wujing and others arranged the characters, thus simplifying the Qin script "Xiao Zhuan" as a standard font, used in official documents and decrees, and spread throughout the country, abolishing other variants. Li Si, Zhao Gao and others also compiled a small seal character bucket, which was promulgated nationwide as a model of standardized characters for people to learn. Later, the jailer Cheng Yi followed the popular folk fonts. Sort out a more concise and easy-to-use new book style-official script, which is popularized nationwide as daily writing. After this arrangement, the structure of ancient Chinese characters in the pre-Qin period was stereotyped, which played an important role in implementing laws and regulations and spreading culture.
China has a vast territory, a large population and different dialects, and there have been many separatist regimes in its later history. The unification of characters has become a vivid and distinct vein to maintain the historical development and progress of the Chinese nation. For a long time, the highly developed economy and culture of China feudal society stood in the forefront of world civilization, which was inextricably linked with the pioneering work of the Qin Dynasty.
After the unification of writing, the development of culture is even more amazing while promoting economic development. Therefore, there are calligraphy that is "if you are agile, if you are amazed", the scenery of "the sunset is lonely in Qi Fei, the autumn water is * * * the sky is one color" and the artistic conception of "blue sky, yellow leaves, cold smoke and green waves in autumn".
If you are interested, open the map of the world and see Europe. What you see is the uniqueness of a small country. Some people say that Europe is in such a state without Qin Shihuang. I don't deny the civilization and prosperity of Europe, because their ancestors plundered the whole world in the era of great navigation. But I am more optimistic about my country, and the power of words is so powerful. Because of the same culture and bloodline, we can achieve "one side is in trouble and all sides support" and gain a firm foothold with a stronger attitude.
Qin bamboo slips
If Shang Yang's political reform made Qin strong, I think it is inevitable; I think it's great to unify writing to promote national integration and development; So the excavation of Qin bamboo slips shocked me. I didn't expect the laws of the Qin Dynasty to be so detailed that it was simply "outrageous" (forgive me for using this word, but I really can't find the right word).
Recently, I watched a program "National Treasures" hosted by Zhang Guoli, which deeply shocked me again. Really, if you don't study, you will never know how wonderful and profound things happened in history and how many things the ancients did that make us feel ashamed today. This issue I read introduces several stories of past lives, which is the treasure of China Museum. The Qin bamboo slips of Hubei History Museum touched my heart the most.
Qin bamboo slips were unearthed in 1976 at the Qin tomb in Shuihudi, Yunmeng County, Hubei Province. The owner of the tomb is a small official named "Xi", whose main work is related to criminal law. He personally experienced the whole process from Qin Shihuang's personal administration to the reunification of the six countries. Perhaps it was in such a glorious era that he loved his work so much that he recorded many things and laws in the process of Qin reunification with 1 155 bamboo slips and put them in his grave. It also gives us an opportunity to understand the laws of the Qin Dynasty and explore the reasons why the Qin State was able to unify the six countries from a legal point of view.
Many people may be like me. In my previous impression, Qin Shihuang was a cruel monarch. This may be right, or "cruelty" is a bit excessive. Qin Shihuang must be a "decisive" person. Otherwise, "burning books to bury Confucianism" will not be criticized by scholars of past dynasties. However, if there was no "book and literature on the same track" of the first emperor, there would definitely be no greater China today. Oh, that's a little beside the point. Today is mainly about the great achievements created by a generation of great men. How can it not run through everyone's legal system? 1 155 Qin bamboo slips, with nearly 40,000 words, have a history of more than 100 years. From Shang Yang's political reform to Qin Shihuang thirty years later, more than half of the written records are laws. Sa Beining, the host of CCTV, interpreted some legal contents in Qin bamboo slips as the tomb owner "Xi" in the National Treasure program, which opened my eyes and deeply lamented the wisdom of the ancients. For example, the punishment methods for theft stipulated in the Qin law are different between the execution and the attempted execution; And under what circumstances, people must be brave; What's more, the laws of the Qin Dynasty have already stipulated sanctions for domestic violence ... Compared with today (I just finished reading the online answer of legal knowledge and made a small comparison), I am really not behind at all! But that was BC, more than two thousand years ago!
There are also three major water conservancy projects that still play a powerful role today, worthy of the name. Dujiangyan nourishes Chengdu Plain, Zheng Guoqu nourishes Guanzhong, and Lingqu connects the Yangtze River and the Pearl River system. They all adopted the most advanced ideas and technologies in the world at that time, and these ideas are still amazing even today.
The Qin Shihuang era left too much wealth to future generations, and its historical achievements were immeasurable. You can only write a little when you start writing. This is really a "sea of abundance" for future generations.
Real history is always more exciting and profound than what is seen in books; Our ancestors are always smarter than we think, but what we need is to learn and understand deeply. Only when you understand, will you believe that our nation is really the greatest nation in the world, no doubt, there is no one!
