Blindly follow the traditional paradigm

The so-called stupid loyalty-

Said coldly: Yue Fei is foolish and loyal.

This time, let me understand. I think this modern man is smarter than the ancients. Qin Gui, the traitor, is really a complete fool, so stupid that he didn't think of it at first. Should Yue Feiren be accused of "stupid loyalty"? However, it happened that he said something "unwarranted" and ambiguous. In the end, he humiliated himself. As a result, the couple knelt for a thousand years. To say that Yue Fei died because of "foolish loyalty", at least the cost of being caught is not so great. You are "stupid" and determined to be recalled by 12 gold medals. Isn't that what you're doing? Why not support your own troops and respect yourself? Why don't you separate? When the country is at home and abroad, if you turn your back, your crime is not "unwarranted", but "real". So Qin Gui is not a hero of counter-insurgency? Wouldn't it be the same to kill you? What kind of national hero can you be?

I wonder if the ancients had such a saying. Probably, in such a society, no one dares to say, at least no one dares to say openly and confidently. Now, with the word "foolish loyalty", Qin Gui and his wife, who have been kneeling in front of Yue Fei's tomb, should stand up confidently!

As long as mankind does not return to the era of eating animals and blood, this kind of filial piety, kindness, loyalty, faith, courtesy, righteousness and honesty must also be the foundation of being a man and the minimum moral requirement. If we insist on putting some contemptuous attributes in front of filial piety, loyalty, faithfulness, courtesy, righteousness and sincerity, I am afraid that the concept of right and wrong in this society will be reversed sooner or later, and the order of this society will be reversed sooner or later. It is best not to think that "foolish loyalty" is valuable and rare until everyone wants to rebel with guns and seize power. Yue Fei's loyalty can be described as a symbol of the future, and his spirit of loyalty to the country has been circulated for thousands of years. I think even if he is really stupid, he is really stupid and lovely and respectable. Without a Yue Fei traitor in the Song Dynasty, the Jurchen could not conquer us, and the Han nationality, who was at home and abroad, was a traitor and doomed to subjugation and enslavement. It is a bloody proof that Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the customs. In Zhuxian Town, flags are flying and swords are cold on Niutou Mountain. Yue Fei has no choice but to "pay for ten years", but unfortunately no one can understand his painstaking efforts. Generally speaking, being a hero always bears such loneliness.
