Interpretation: when reading, you should analyze, not blindly believe in books, but look at problems dialectically.
Origin: The capital of Zhou Wang, the last king of Shang Dynasty, was Chao Ge (now Qixian County, Henan Province).
At the end of Shang Dynasty, Zhou Wuwang succeeded to the throne for four years, and when he learned that the main force of Shang army had been on an expedition to Dongyi, Song was empty, so he led his troops to attack merchants. Zhou Wuwang led the army of the headquarters and eight tribes to Konoha. The famous battle of Makino broke out in history.
Hearing that Zhou Jun was coming, Shang Zhouwang was very shocked and quickly mobilized a small number of defensive soldiers and prisoners of war to fight in Konoha. Compared with Zhou Jun, the strength of the commercial army was very different, but the loyal soldiers were determined to repel the invading enemy and launched an extremely fierce life-and-death struggle.
Later, an article in Shangshu Wucheng said: "Zhou Wang led his trip to Konoha. There is no enemy of our division (no one wants to be my enemy), and the former disciple defected to the north (hitting his own people in the back), and the blood flowed like a river. "
Mencius in the Warring States period once read an article, Shangshu Wucheng, which was quite touching. He said: "It is better to believe in books than to have no books. I adopted two or three strategies in Wucheng. Benevolence is invincible, even if benevolence is cut to the point of inhumanity, how can there be blood? " Mencius thought to himself, how could a benevolent man like Zhou Wuwang attack a heartless man like Shang Zhouwang and make a river of blood? Mencius did not believe this record in Shangshu, so he said this passage. It means to remind people to analyze when reading, and not to blindly trust books. ,
