Some guests came to my house, and the white horse stepped down. Go with him with all the waiters, many of whom.
There are guests who stay overnight, and there are also guests who believe it.
The guests said goodbye to me and the officials thanked him. The guests are treated well, and God's blessing will be even greater.
There has always been controversy in academic circles about the protagonist of The Book of Songs Zhou Song Youke. Foreword and most scholars who study The Book of Songs think that the "tourist" in the poem refers to Cabbage, while Zou Hefang Yurun thinks that it refers to.
Ji Zi and Wei Zi are adherents of Shang Dynasty. Ji Zi, Wei Zi and Bi Gan were honored as "Yin Sanren" by Confucius. The Analects of Confucius said: "Wei Zizhi, Ji Zi was his slave, but Bi Gan remonstrated and died. Confucius said,' Yin has three benevolence.' "Wei Zihe is a adherent of Yin, with the lineage of Shang royal family. They are all guests of the New Zhou Dynasty. The "guest" in the poem refers to the former royal family.
The problem of "White Horse" was similar to The Book of Songs Zhou Song Lu Zhen in the middle of that time, because the Shang royal family advocated white. In the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou people allowed descendants of Shang royal family to keep the white tradition out of respect. Comparatively speaking, The Book of Songs, Zhou Song Lu Zhen, contains a lot of implicit and low-key words, and it doesn't mention anything at all. It only indirectly reflects the elegance of the micro-sacrifice team through "Lu Zhen Yu Fei". In this sense, The Book of Songs Zhou Song You Ke and The Book of Songs Zhou Song Lu Zhen may not be the same person.
During the period of Shang Zhouwang, Cabbage, Kiko and Bigan, who also saw that Zhou Wang had no choice, chose different paths. Weizi chose to escape, and Jizi chose to pretend to be crazy and then sold into slavery. Bigan chose to remonstrate with death. In order to illustrate the diversity of "benevolence", Confucius thought that the three different practices of these three people were called benevolence.
According to Records of the Historian, King Wu visited Ji Zi after winning the world, and Ji Zi helped King Wu to relieve Hong Fan. Wei Zi was a man who took a token of the Shang court, barebacked and carrying thorns to see King Wu, and was equivalent to the representative of the defeated party. Mao Zedong half-jokingly commented on Wei Zi: "Wei Zi is the worst, he is a traitor. He sent two representatives to the Zhou Dynasty to invite soldiers. King Wu returned to Jin Meng for the first time to watch the soldiers. Then two years later, he said he could play because he had an inside man. Zhou Wang killed Bi Gan and locked Ji Zi up, but he was unprepared for Wei Zi. He only knows that he is an opposition and does not know that he knows foreign countries. " In addition, Wu Geng, the descendant of the merchant who was enfeoffed in Yin Dynasty, rebelled after the Duke of Zhou ascended the throne and was executed by the Duke of Zhou. Later, Wei Zi was named a descendant of Song and Shang Dynasties, and Duke Zhou even wrote a special warning for this. It can be seen that the Zhou Dynasty had some distrust of Wei Zi.
Going back to The Book of Songs Zhou Song Tourists, from the literal point of view, the relationship between Zhou and this "guest" is completely a pair of "good friends". When the "guest" came, he "enjoyed himself", in strict accordance with the etiquette norms, for the consideration of Zhou Tianzi. Regarding this "have a good time and try your best to make a trip", scholars who think that the guests are tiny think that it describes that there are many people following the guests and the guests consciously choose the right entourage. Scholars who regard visitors as Ji Zi believe that "having fun" and "going" are strict observance of etiquette. This is especially true from the perspective of the Zhou Emperor. "There is a guest to stay, and there is a guest letter" means that after the guests come, they are left by Zhou Wang day after day, unwilling to leave. "This is a slap in the face of words, this is a slap in the face to appreciate each other's eyes. He has gone, pulled back, and even stayed in the form of "flattery". So that people in the Han Dynasty later read this poem, and in order to keep the guests, they even unloaded the important parts of the car and threw them into the well. It can be seen that the influence of this kind of "words must be done" directly hits people's hearts. As for "chasing it with thin words, doing it around", it depicts the relationship between the two to an inseparable degree.
Finally, the poem ends with "Kong Yi is blessed for her arrogance". Regarding this ending, Zou quoted "Five Blessingg is in the direction and the six poles are in the strength" in Shang Shu Hong Fan to prove that this "guest" is no different. Think about it carefully, the two sentences really have a certain degree of spirit likeness.
"Yin Wei" is an abused authority. Here, the Emperor of Zhou couldn't control his own reason because he couldn't live without the guests, and abused his influence as the master and emperor-"killing his horse" and "chasing him with thin words" in order to keep the guests a little more time. It is through this irrationality that the poet sees "Blessing Kong Yi" behind him-the gods will certainly fulfill the wishes of these good friends and give them greater peace and blessings.
If the "guest" is a petty person, the courtesy of the "guest" can be a manifestation of high moral cultivation, or it can be a last resort. As the host, Zhou's enthusiasm for staying here may be out of respect for saints, or it may be a kind and kind warning. The poet's saying that "Kong Yi is blessed by arrogance" is probably a metaphor and hint of apparent harmony, or it may be the sincerity and disloyalty of the gods.
What is true and what is false? Where is the absolute truth and where is the absolute fallacy?
It would be much easier if the "guest" was Ji Zi. On the one hand, he is cautious in words and deeds, bold and decisive, on the other hand, he is eager for talents and pity for heroes.
Which one is it?
Which one is just the projection of the imprint in the reader's own heart!
