Next sentence: Finally, I died miserably, miserably.
The whole sentence is: Zhou Youwang played a vassal in a bonfire, only to laugh it off for the beauty, but he ended up dead and miserable. The allusion related to this sentence is "the bonfire plays the princes".
At the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, a fatuous woman, Zhou Youwang, did not hesitate to stage a farce in the city, and asked the ministers for advice with a bonfire.
As a result, when the dogs of ethnic minorities attacked the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was another bonfire, and no one came to help the princes. You Wang was killed, ending the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Since then, the authority of the Emperor of Zhou has plummeted, and the situation of the feudal lords in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period has emerged.
Extended data
Warlords in bonfire drama originated from The Book of Songs. There are only eight words in the original text, "Celebrating the Week", but it has been supplemented by various stories by the later generations.
From the rationality of the story itself, the revenge of the prince in Guoyu's version is more in line with the historical background of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
However, the later versions of Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals and Historical Records were too deductive, pinning the rise and fall of dynasties on a woman.
In fact, this phenomenon of "demonizing" women is not uncommon in historical writing. For example, da ji, Yang Guifei and Chen Yuanyuan are all described as a femme fatale and act as a fig leaf for men.
