Book catalog of Yizhong Tian’s Collected Works

The first volume of the anthology includes Mr. Yi Zhongtian's literary collection "High in the Trees", which includes poetry, prose, essays, several literary reviews and two novellas. This is the continuation and realization of a literature lover's dream. He had had this dream for more than forty years. The first time Yi Zhongtian published a literary work was in Xinjiang. After graduating from high school in 1965, Yi Zhongtian joined the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and completed his first transition - from a "literary youth" to a "revolutionary warrior." Thirteen years of frontier life laid a solid foundation for his later introduction of academics to the public.

Xinjiang Shicao, are you the son of Tianshan or the brother of Kunlun? You are naked and skinny, but you don’t have a new piece of clothing. You can’t afford it or you are disdainful. Maybe you are an outcast or you are a warrior. Show it to the world. Maybe the lightness of the sword is still sharpened on the exposed rock, but the sharpness of the knife. Since there are clouds in the sky, let's sew a piece of clothing. Look at the green trees in front of the mountain and the stream at your feet. Behind the mountain A beautiful pasture with grass can be without lambskin, not to mention that it is your right to be shiny.

Fig Collection This purity and clarity are the character of poetry. Therefore, poetry always naturally belongs to youth and old age. The purity of youth comes from innocence, and the clarity of old age comes from detachment, just as the romance of youth comes from passion, and the richness of middle age comes from persistence. Innocence is valuable, enthusiasm is lovely, persistence is desirable, detachment is admirable. Detachment is not only an attitude towards life, but also a kind of wisdom in life. Because of wisdom, there is no need to chatter; because of detachment, there is no need to be resentful. The open-mindedness and detachment with wisdom at the bottom is like a pool of autumn water, calm and clear to the bottom, but deep and profound, with endless charm.

Reading time Fear is an indelible ancient memory of human beings. Just as a baby's first reaction after landing is to cry loudly, a person's first experience with the world is also fear. For budding humans, the world is both beautiful and terrifying. Although it has warm sunshine, gentle wind and rain, and delicious game, it also has wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, ferocious birds and beasts, and water monsters and forest monsters. Especially at night, it becomes ferocious, gloomy and cruel, with ghosts crying and wolves howling. Naked and with nothing left, human beings could only hide in caves, clinging to each other by the fire and suffering, not knowing when the long night would end.

Art World However, although the distance is far in the horizon, it is still close at hand, because it is integrated with the world around everyone and has no boundaries. In this way, people are surrounded by unknowable mysteries, both conceptually and in reality. Primitive people don't need much intelligence to know that: in terms of quantity, there are always more dead people than living people; in terms of time, the past is always longer than the present; in terms of space, the unknown realm is always wider than the known realm. What is even more frightening is that although people cannot reach far away places, death can suddenly come to them from far away places anytime and anywhere. This is really scary. The textbooks are mimeographed. The so-called "mimeograph" is to use a stylus and a steel plate to draw stroke by stroke, word by word, on wax paper, and then print it with ink. Such textbooks are no longer available. We use this in class. After class, my husband carried a rice basket and walked with us across the playground to the faculty canteen on the hill opposite to buy food. My husband has eaten in canteens and been a vegetarian all his life, so I always suspected that he was malnourished. Later, every time I returned to Wuhan, I always invited my husband to have a vegetarian banquet at Baotong Temple. I deliberately ordered more and packed it up for my husband to take back, which was somewhat of an improvement.

Part 1: The Way of Nature - Literary Ontology The way of nature is the way of speaking. — "Original Way"

It is worth noting that the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a period of artistic and theoretical development that was the most exploratory and accomplished, was also the darkest, most chaotic and chaotic period of politics in Chinese history. The most painful era for society. This obvious imbalance between art, politics, and economic development often makes people doubt the real reason for this prosperity. To this end, it seems necessary to briefly review the course of history.

Part 2: The Number of Divine Principles - Theory of Creation Laws Therefore, there are three principles for establishing prose:... The third one is love prose, and the five natures are also true. ...The five emotions arise and become words and chapters, which are also the numbers of divine principles. ——"Emotion"

As for the analysis of emotions, the cages and circles are consistent, the divinity is revealed, the style is pictured, the buds are connected, the sounds are read, the time is respected, the talent is praised, and the talent is discouraged. Yu Zhiyin, Cheng Qi, has a long-term ambition to control the group. From the second chapter onwards, the hairy eyes are obvious. The name of position and theory is comparable to the number of the Great Yi. It is for literary purposes, only forty-nine chapters. It was also when reading Marx and Engels' works that I noticed one of their important ideas - where speculation ends, "the place where true empirical science begins" (Marx and Engels, "The German Ideology"). This led to Marx's "Summary of Morgan's "Ancient Society"" and Engels's "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State." Obviously, empirical evidence is important, origin is important, and genesis is important.

Since Xiaomang has logically put forward the "philosophical principles of art genesis" with Kantian genius speculation, then let me do the empirical work!

Part 1 Generating Mechanism 1 When we consider some of the processing and transformation of primitive humans on their bodies - including scars, body paintings, tattoos and wearing accessories, they all follow the old practices and are generalized. When we call it "body decoration" and take it as the starting point of our empirical research, we will immediately find that things are far from being as simple as originally imagined. There are so many types of them, their shapes are so weird, their meanings are so mysterious, and their motives are so puzzling. When they come from the most ancient times and the most remote areas, break through the time and space relationship here and now, and swarm forward all of a sudden, we will really be confused!

Part 1 Mechanism 2 Totem objects have the following characteristics: (1) So-called totems are almost without exception non-human things, most of which are animals (maybe edible or harmless, or may be dangerous and terrifying) ; Less commonly, it may be plants (such as bulbs), inorganic substances (such as water) or natural phenomena (such as wind); it is rare to use artificial products as totems, and it is absolutely impossible to use people to make totems themselves. More than 90% of the 500 totems of the residents of southeastern Australia are animals and plants, and 648 of the 740 totems of the Aranda people in central Australia are animal totems. In fact, I wrote this book with the intention of extending the classroom to society. At that time, I didn’t know that there was a “Hundred Schools Forum”, let alone that I would later join the “Hundred Schools Forum”. The only way I can think of is to write such a "lecture style" book. The advantage of the speech style is that it is friendly, natural, easy to understand, and easy for beginners and non-professionals to accept. Acceptance is important. If the other party doesn't accept it, your lesson will be in vain. This requires that people be interested first and that people understand it. Pulling, holding, showing off, and trying to be mysterious are the tricks used by those who sing the "empty city strategy". There are really "millions of powerful soldiers", but this is not the case.

Lecture 1 Nature and Methods Just because aesthetics is such a thing, a thing that studies the most abstract and fundamental issues of beauty and art, therefore, it does not provide a general ticket to the palace of art directly. Please pay attention to my expression. First, it is not direct, and second, it is not universal. Are there any tickets for direct entry? have. Category Arts sells such tickets. Such as music, fine arts, drama, and dance. They all have some introductory books and introductory tutorials. Once you understand these things, you'll be ready. However, their tickets are not universal. You can’t enter the fine arts with a music ticket, nor can you enter a drama with a dance ticket. You can’t even enter a movie with a drama ticket, although movies also have drama.

Lecture 2: Research on Beauty Third, it is derived from the previous conclusion! Since beauty is an abstract form or abstract attribute, the study of beauty can only be philosophical. Similarly, since beauty is universal, whoever it is on is beautiful, and whoever is not on it is not beautiful. Then, beauty is objective and does not depend on people's subjective will. In fact, when we ask "what is beauty?", we already regard it as objective. If beauty is subjective, and you can do whatever you like to whoever you love, then what else does it do?

Lecture 3: Research on Aesthetics: Kant In 1750, the German philosopher Baumgarten published a book called "Thetik", which translates to "Aesthetics" . Baumgarten discovered that the basic values ??pursued by human beings are nothing more than truth, goodness and beauty. Really, there is a specialized knowledge, which is logic. Goodness also has a specialized knowledge, which is ethics. Only beauty does not exist, so a door should be established for it. Baumgarten calls it popliteal thetik. No one had ever used this name before. It was Baumgarten who first started to use it, and it was used in the new independent discipline of "aesthetics". Therefore, academic circles generally regard 1750 as the birthday of aesthetics, and Baumgarten is called the "father of aesthetics". You can't blame anyone else. Besides, I have no right to complain. In fact, in the past two years, I myself have begun not to read the books and papers of my colleagues because I simply cannot understand them. For well-known reasons, the “humanities scholars” in our country are like crucian carp crossing the river. Their "academic papers" are mass-produced on the "assembly line" every day, and they are overwhelming. In this case, it is better not to look at them all than to worry about them.

Chapter 1 Food

We know that God’s function is nothing more than to meet human needs. What kind of people and culture there are, there are also what kind of gods there are. What did the "gods" on Mount Olympus in ancient Greece do? That's just flirting, having fun, and being jealous. Chinese gods, divine kings or sages have a much harder time. For example, Fuxi wanted to invent the net for catching birds and beasts and the bamboo for fishing, while Shennong wanted to invent the grass and the grass for farming. Anyway, you have to find a way to make the people's stomachs full, so that the people will respect you as a god and a saint. This is called "food is the first priority for the people".

Chapter 2 Clothing

Grooming is neither optional nor careless. In ancient times, if a person did not have a good reputation, it was called "repairing one's reputation but not establishing one"; and if a minister engaged in corruption and committed a crime of embezzlement, it was not called "incorruptible" but "uncorrupted". Yan (f), rectangular, is an ancient food vessel, made of bronze, with a lid and ears, used to hold millet and rice.

Gui (gu) is also an ancient food vessel, made of bronze or pottery, with a round mouth and round feet. It is also used to hold millet, millet, and rice beams. In other words, the 簠 is a square rice bowl and the 簋 is a round rice bowl. "Not decorated" means "not wiped frequently and not cleaned". Since the job bowl cannot be kept clean, of course the job will be lost! However, culture and civilization not only need to be inherited, but also need to be disseminated. Without communication, culture and civilization, only the meaning of museums remains. Of course, taxpayers can visit the museum. The public museum is now free. This is actually communication, but it is limited. It is also difficult to have a direct relationship with the daily life of the public. What's more, most academic works are still invisible and incomprehensible to ordinary people. Of course this is understandable. The problem is, if all academic research is irrelevant to the broad masses of the people, then how can the significance of cultural inheritance and civilization continuation be reflected?

Chapter 1 Men

Seriously speaking, this kind of hobby is really not a good thing. Women like it, which proves that they are somewhat less like women. If men like it, it also only proves that they are somewhat unlike men, and may even be suspected of being "homosexual". Because this kind of male image with a slender figure, white skin and tender flesh, and no beard, is more or less like a "child molester". And since ancient times, men with "Longyang good" tend to have sexual partners like this kind of "beauties". However, we will discuss these issues later. Now we might as well analyze how and why this kind of man or this kind of character is "not like a man".

Chapter 2 Women

So, under these conditions, what kind of woman is most likely to receive praise? Most of them are mediocre women, or women who are not mediocre but are good at hiding their clumsiness, such as Mrs. Wang and Xue Baochai in "A Dream of Red Mansions". Mrs. Wang is the least feminine woman in the Jia family, and Xue Baochai is a widowed woman. However, they are regarded as good wives. Wang Xifeng is feminine, smart and capable, but although she is favored by her ancestors and favored by Mrs. Wang, her mother-in-law does not like her, and no one seems to call her a good wife.

Chapter 3 Sex

Why is the fish a symbol of the vulva? To put it bluntly, it's very simple. From the appearance, the fish shape, especially the shape of two fishes overlapping each other, is very similar to the female vulva; from the connotation, the fish belly has many children, extremely strong reproductive power, and has the potential to continue to reproduce, which is enough to make people believe that they have certain It embodies the mysterious power of reproduction. Therefore, the fish that has many children and grandchildren became the object of envy, admiration and even worship by the ancestors. The primitive ancestors longed to transfer the strong reproductive power of fish to themselves through this kind of worship, or to enhance this function of themselves. The conclusion is clear: the categorical nature of a work may not depend solely on the way it is expressed. Academic or not, it has nothing to do with whether it looks good or not. Things that are very unsightly (such as stereotyped articles and official articles) are not necessarily academic. Very academic books can also be well written (such as "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli"). Of course, academic works are not novels, essays, or essays, but the writing style can be essay, essay, or aesthetic literature. It’s like praising God, but also using rock music. God doesn’t stop being God because of rock and roll. Similarly, academic works will not become unacademic or worthless because of their presentation.

Cities and People

Indeed, cities, like people, also have personalities. Some are rough, some are beautiful, some are heroic, and some are tender. Therefore, just as people like to criticize people, they also like to talk about cities. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many "urban ballads." However, just as some people have distinctive personalities and some are not so outstanding, not all cities will receive attention. After all, there are too many cities in China, and many of them are similar. Obviously, only those with particularly distinctive personalities will receive attention, because distinctive personalities are attractive.

Beijing City

This is Beijing, and this is the city of Beijing. In short, the so-called "Beijing City" is actually composed of these "walls" one after another and "doors" one after another. Among them, "door" is obviously more important than "wall". Without walls, a city is not a city, but if there are no gates, the city is a dead city. The gate to the city is not only the entrance and exit, but also the location, function and significance. It can be said that if you grasp the "door" of Beijing, you can almost grasp Beijing.

Among the gates in Beijing, the most important is of course Tiananmen. This requires correcting your attitude, adjusting your mentality, and changing your stance. The so-called "correct attitude" means not to always regard yourself as an educator; the so-called "adjustment of mentality" means not to always think that you are wise; the so-called "change of stance" means to think on the readers' side. For example, what do they want to know and what don’t they want to know? What are they interested in and what are they not interested in? What problems and obstacles do they encounter during the reading process? Even which paragraphs will they skip, and which parts will they feel you did not explain clearly or are not satisfying? etc.

Xiang Yu

Liu Bang’s ancestors, the old Liu family, were not that prominent. Although Liu is also an ancient country with the surname Ji (in today's Yanshi County, Henan Province), the founding monarch is Liu Kanggong, the son of King Kuang of Zhou. However, the title was extinct when Zhou Zhen was crowned king. The country was only established for a hundred years, and it was no match for Liu Bang's family. . Liu Bang's parents were neither important officials in the court nor sages in society, and they may not even have names. "Historical Records" says that Liu Bang's "father is Taigong and his mother is Liu Yu", which translated into modern Chinese is Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu.

Of course, uncle and aunt are not names. It can be seen that they are "unknown people".

Cao Cao

Cao Cao, whose courtesy name is Mengde and whose nickname is Ah Ma, was born in Qiao County, Peiguo, which is now Bozhou City, Anhui Province. Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" says that he is a descendant of Cao Shen, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty. This is nonsense. Because Cao Cao should not have been named Cao. His father Cao Song was just Cao Teng's adopted son. Cao Song and Cao Teng are not related by blood. Even if it is found out that Cao Teng is Cao Shen, what does it have to do with Cao Cao? In fact, who Cao Song's biological parents were was a mystery at the time. Even Chen Shou could only say, "No one can judge the origin of his birth." So even Cao Cao, who knew his biological parents, was a bit "unknown." The problem is that this country is not that great in the first place. It is neither a "hundred-year-old store" with "odd things to live in" that can "rely on the old and sell it"; nor is it a "thousand-year-old country" with some "long tradition" that can be "accumulated and accumulated." Among all the major countries in the world today, it has the shortest history, the worst foundation, the latest start, and the thinnest foundation. How come it has become a superpower that is second to none, even unique, in just over 200 years? This is a question that every one of us who has the dream of a powerful country and is committed to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation must think about it.

Chapter 1: Everything happens for a reason

The second category is called "Lord Colony", which was granted by the British King to one or more lords. Moreover, just as the Emperor of Zhou enfeoffed the princes, such colonies can also be enfeoffed again. For example, Maryland, named after Queen Mary of England, was granted to the first Lord Baltimore, George Calvert, who in turn entrusted sixty manors. Another example is Pennsylvania. Because King Charles II of England owed a debt of 16,800 pounds to the noble William Bean, he granted a large piece of land in North America to Bean's son, William Bean Jr., and named it Pennsylvania. This type of colony is the largest in number.

Chapter 2: Full of Suspicions

The representatives’ worries are not without reason. Sure enough, as soon as Virginia's plan was proposed, objections and doubts arose. Because everyone can see that Madison and Randolph’s plan is to amend the Articles of Confederation in name only, but in fact it is to replace the original Articles of Confederation with their separate Articles of Confederation (actually the Federal Constitution). The Articles of Confederation replaced the original Congress of the Confederation with a new government formed in accordance with the new Articles of Confederation, transforming the thirteen sovereign and independent states and their federations into a unified country with "one sovereignty, one constitution, and one government" . In other words, they wanted to formulate a constitution and build a country.

Chapter 3 Tit for Tat

Paterson had no choice but to take action again. On June 14, just as the meeting began, Paterson suggested that several delegations, especially the New Jersey delegation, hoped to be given a little more time to carefully consider the report of the Committee of the Whole in order to compile a report on this issue. Report "just right" scenarios. Randolph then moved that the meeting should be adjourned. The motion was seconded by Paterson. Paterson also made a motion to postpone discussion of the committee of the whole report until tomorrow. The motion was also seconded by Randolph. It seems that both warring parties hope for a temporary truce so that they can strengthen their troops and fight it out.

Chapter 4: Tension

Finally, Paterson mentioned Wilson's speech on June 5. Patterson said that Mr. Wilson had threatened that if the other states refused at the same time, the major states would form an alliance among themselves if necessary. Very good! If they wish, let them unite themselves! However, they should remember that they have no power to force other states to unite, and New Jersey will never unite according to the current plan. New Jersey may be swallowed up by others, but he would rather surrender to a monarch and submit to a tyrant than fall into the fate of being manipulated by a big country. I, Paterson, am not only here to oppose this plan. Return to New Jersey and do everything you can to defeat it! What's more, our history is not all dark, and our tradition is not without merit, just as Western history and tradition also have stains and flaws. In fact, Deng Xiaomang and I said as early as in the book "Symphony of Yellow and Blue" that the historical process of China and the West is actually a "mutual victory." Sometimes we are better than others, and sometimes others are better than us. This is a fact. The trouble is just that people are better than us in modern times. Our scenery is beautiful, but it has become a thing of the past. This makes people sad. Melancholy means feeling lost, bewildered, and confused, that is, "sad and lost" because we should not be like this.

Has the bright moon ever shone in the ditch? Read the "Historical Records" and "The Biography of Chao Cuo" in "Hanshu"

The crime proposed is also very serious. It is "the ceremony of the deceased minister, the great It is against the law." The punishment applied for was "the wrong one (Chao Cuo) should be beheaded (cut in half), the parents, the wife, the same property, no young and long, all abandoned the market", that is, all relatives, old and young, who were not separated from the family were beheaded (the abandonment of the market was during the reign of Emperor Jing) A certain type of death penalty, which means "to punish a person in the market and abandon him with the public"). Regarding this impeachment, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty gave an "agreement" (zhiyueke) order, and sent Lieutenant Chen Jia to find Chao Cuo and executed it immediately without even saying hello. Therefore, Chao Cuo not only died unjustly and miserably, but also died in a cowardly manner.

Marquis Wu’s governance of Shu and the "attacking the heart and mind"

As soon as this statement came out, many people must have scoffed. Because everyone can see that what Zhao Fan said was "civil war", not "foreign war". Why? Because there is the word "reverse side". What is "reverse side"? It's "uneasy". When the people are uneasy, they are called "rebellious people."

An uneasy mind is called a "rebellious mind." If you have a "rebellious" heart, you are not "obedient to the people". Therefore, we must "attack their hearts" and make them "settle down" and surrender. So, can the "anti-side" mentioned here refer to Cao Wei? Of course it's impossible. Cao Wei was not "opposed" to Shu Han, but "hostile". To deal with Cao Wei, we can only rely on "criticism with weapons", and "attacking the heart" (persuasion, education or soft policies) is useless.

The reform helped corruption──Read "History of the Song Dynasty"

In fact, the situation at that time was not optimistic. According to Lu Ce quoted in the "Twenty-Two Histories" by Zhao Yi of the Qing Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, the national fiscal revenue was 39 million and expenditure was 13 million, accounting for one-third of the revenue. During the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Song Dynasty, the national fiscal revenue was 44 million and expenditure was 8.8 million, accounting for one-fifth of the revenue. During the Xining period of Shenzong, although the income reached 50.6 million, the expenditure was also 50.6 million, accounting for 100% of the income. In this case, doesn't Zhao Xu's treasury mean to be empty?

Absurd Justice──Read "History of the Ming Dynasty: Biography of Traitorous Officials"

However, the cabinet academicians were willing. These guys know better than anyone else: if they want to be successful, they have to please the emperor; if they want to be prosperous and wealthy, they have to please the emperor; if they want to stay safe forever, they have to please the emperor. Since this is what the Emperor wants, and we have plenty of time, energy, intelligence and talent, why not contribute a little? Therefore, many of the cabinet ministers in the Jiajing Dynasty were good at writing Qing Ci, and they were actually good at writing Qing Ci. For example, Yuan Wei and Li Chunfang were later called "Qing Ci Prime Ministers". In short, under the Jiajing rule, if you want to think of generals as prime ministers and highly respected ministers, you must be a Qingci writer. In fact, even in the age of empires, not all were authoritarian, and some were not authoritarian. Generally speaking, before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was sometimes authoritarian, sometimes not authoritarian, or authoritarian in a liberal way. For example, according to the system of the Tang Dynasty, if an order was issued directly by the emperor without being approved by the political affairs hall meeting and stamped with the "Zhongshu Menxia Seal", it was illegal. Although some emperors did this, they were either unreasonable (such as Wu Zetian) or embarrassed (such as Tang Zhongzong). Officials appointed by force will also be looked down upon. Therefore, the statement that "centralization of power leads to autocracy" is probably worthy of scrutiny.

Chapter 1 Unification of the World

According to the records of "Historical Records: The Chronicles of Qin Shihuang", in 221 BC, the year the new dynasty was established, the top leadership of the Qin regime mainly studied two There are two issues, one is to determine the name, and the other is to customize the system. These two issues, one is related to "name" and the other is related to "reality", but both are related to the state and political system. In fact, the reason why Ying Zheng wanted to seek advice was because the ruling group of the Qin State, which had just annexed the world, was facing a major choice: whether to continue the old system established by the Zhou people, or to insist on their own new system, or even create an updated one. system? For the new empire, this was truly a "life and death decision."

Chapter 2 Centralization

But for Qin Shihuang, these were not problems. For Qin Shihuang, unification and centralization were two sides of the same problem, and autocracy was exactly what he dreamed of. Of course, autocracy and monarchy are not synonymous. You can be dictatorial without being an emperor (like Saddam), and you may not be autocratic with an emperor (like a constitutional monarch), but an empire without an emperor is not like an empire anyway, and having the title of emperor is always easier to centralize power (this is actually Yuan Shikai's attempt to risk the world's power) One of the reasons why Bu Wei openly proclaimed himself emperor). Because it not only means decision-making and approval rights, but also legislative, judicial, supervisory and supreme judicial powers. It simply integrates all the powers in the world. Isn’t it centralization of power? This makes sense. For example, the history of the Three Kingdoms, whether you read "Three Kingdoms", "Zizhi Tongjian" or "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", after Cao Cao's death, it is not very good. Once Zhuge Liang died, even fewer people watched. Another example is "Water Margin". After being recruited, can you still watch it? The best thing to watch was when Lin Chong, Wu Song, and Lu Zhishen took action. Chen Danqing said that the reason why the characters in the Republic of China had a special "style" was because the Republic of China was a "new society". I am afraid this is also the reason.

Part 1 Wei Wu Cracks the Whip 1

In fact, as early as the Jin Dynasty, there were differences in the evaluation of Cao Cao. Wang Shen's "Wei Shu" and Sima Biao's "Continuation of Han Shu" are relatively positive about Cao Cao, and even defend Cao Cao in Qubi; Sun Sheng's "Miscellaneous Words of Similarities and Differences" and Wu Ren's "Cao Mi Biography" are not too polite and cruel to Cao Cao. Much treachery is revealed. Historians in the Eastern Jin Dynasty learned how to chisel teeth, and even pioneered the theory of "usurpation". From this point on to the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang Dynasties, historians have mixed praise and criticism. Mr. Zhang Zuoyao's "A Critical Biography of Cao Cao" has a very detailed description. It can be seen that for Cao Cao, not only the "opinions of the times" are different, but the "historical opinions" are also very different. Coupled with everyone's "personal opinions", Cao Cao's "true face" becomes even more difficult to figure out.

Part 1 Wei Wu Swings the Whip 2

This is actually a test of Cao Cao's courage. Cao Cao immediately said, this is exactly what I planned. But Yang Feng is nearby. I heard that his army is very powerful, so I'm afraid he won't give me any convenience. Dong Zhao said, no problem. Yang Feng is a man who is brave and has no party members, so he can be deceived. The general might as well write a letter to Yang Feng first, send him a generous gift, and say that there is no food in Luoyang and he must eat in Luyang. Luyang is only a short distance away from Xu County, so why not just go there? Luyang is not far from Liang County where Yang Feng is located. Yang Feng must not doubt it, so why worry? Cao Cao followed the plan and indeed brought the emperor to Xu County.

Part Three: The Three Kingdoms 1

This is of course also a way of saying it. But I thought that with Cao Cao's good use of power and strategy, he might not have trusted Zhong Yao easily! Hu Sansheng annotated "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and believed that the so-called "attack Zhang Lu openly and secretly attack Ma and Han" was Cao Cao's idea, and it was a plan to "defeat Guo and seize Yu", with the purpose of forcing Ma Chao and Han to rebel. Then, send troops to attack again (to speed up the rebellion, and then add more troops). We won’t discuss this anymore. Anyway, as soon as Zhong Yao's army moved, Ma Chao, Han Sui and the other ten Kansai tribes all rebelled. They gathered 100,000 people and garrisoned Tongguan, preparing to fight Cao Cao to the death.

The third part: Three Kingdoms 2

These three also want to be successors. First of all, they are both the sons of Mrs. Bian. Cao Cao's first wife was Mrs. Ding. Mrs. Ding had no children, her adopted son Cao Ang was killed in battle, and she was divorced, so she was not considered for "establishing a direct heir". After Mrs. Ding was deposed, it was Mrs. Bian who inherited the status of the head wife. According to the principle of "establishing direct lineage", the successor should be selected from among Mrs. Bian's sons. Mrs. Bian had four sons. Among them, Cao Xiong died early, and the choices were Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi. This is the first point. Second, the three of them are also capable and accomplished, and their level is obviously higher than that of Cao Cao's other sons. In this way, they are the most qualified regardless of "establishing a direct line" or "establishing a virtuous person." The so-called "battle for the legitimate inheritance" began among Mrs. Bian's three sons. Preface: So, what is “noisy business”? According to "Chinese logic", anything that has nothing to do with you is. For example, violent demolition, as long as the demolition does not belong to your house, nor to your relatives or friends, then it is "nosy business." Well, you don't care if they demolish Zhang San today; you don't care if they demolish Li Si tomorrow; and naturally no one will care if they demolish you the day after tomorrow.

At this time, those who object to our "meddling in other people's business" are probably going to cry out again: Why is no one taking care of it? Where have all the intellectuals who represent social conscience and conscience gone?
