The spirit of the times in Han dynasty

The spirit of the Han Dynasty is vigorous.

The worship of Wushu in Han Dynasty is quite distinctive. On the unearthed Han Dynasty stone reliefs, it is common to compete by force, unarmed and use swords and halberds. There is a scene of Lux pulling out trees on the Han Dynasty stone relief in Xuzhou. In the Han Dynasty, there may be a folklore similar to pulling up weeping willows in Water Margin. At that time, the more formal weightlifting activity was carrying a tripod. Besides Xiang Yu's well-known ability to carry a tripod, some aristocrats, such as Huainan Liu Chang, the youngest son of Liu Bang, and Guangling Liu Xu, the son of Wu Di, also went down in history because of their ability to carry a tripod. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up a tripod official in the palace to judge the merits of lifting the tripod in front of the temple. It is worth mentioning that in the Han Dynasty's portrait cultural relics, people are depicted fighting with wild animals such as tigers and wild boars, among which the most thrilling thing is to subdue wild boars with bare hands and fight with tigers and fierce cows at the same time. Many fighting beasts belong to the upper class of society, and literati are also involved. Sima Xiangru, Tian Chou and Cui Yishan fenced the fence, Wang Chong learned to ride horses and shoot arrows every morning and evening, and famous scholars shot wild boar in the barn ... Mr. Qian Mu said that the literati in the Han Dynasty were simple in character, so they could write with a pen and plow with a pen down. In fact, the literati in the Han Dynasty are not fragile white-faced scholars in later generations, which is not only the result of martial spirit, but also an important symbol of the times.

People living in the Han Dynasty were frank and less reserved, open and less depressed, rough and less smooth, brave and less timid. The expansion of the Han empire, the hollowing out of foreign lands and the formation of social order are all closely related to these mental outlook. The stars have changed. Although some contents of the spirit of the Han Dynasty have faded and disappeared, the waves it splashed in the long history of ancient civilization in China can still touch people's hearts.
