Does anyone know information about the characteristic inhabitants of each region?

From the cultural significance, Henan is a piece of territory we can not ignore. Huang Huang Huang thousand years of Chinese civilization, it is from this piece of yellow land on the origins of the flow, and then spread throughout China. Henan in the history of Chinese civilization in the significance of a Henan writer's phrase: "Henan is our Chinese mother" to explain the most appropriate. Now, the mother of the milk is broken, people old color, full of frost, shrink tight yellow earth corner, inexplicably become the object of ridicule of the children, which is really a kind of cultural sadness. And nowadays the jokes about Henan flying, Henan in a "rumor campaign" was trampled with impunity, and really is our nation's overall sadness.

Henan people were group discrimination, is an embarrassing and heavy cultural phenomenon. The former glory, heavy humanities, so easily by a few words of gossip, a few jokes to cover up, which itself is a big joke. This is partly due to our terrible ignorance and stupid prejudice, on the other hand, there are also Henan people's own reasons. In the process of modernization, with the inevitable decline of the loess civilization that carries the agrarian economy, Henan has also lost itself, lost in the black hole of history, lost in the numbness of idleness, and lost in the mediocrity of self-defeating. Henan's problems, and ultimately need to be solved by the people of Henan themselves. And the revitalization of regional civilization, first of all, lies in the spiritual erection. The stimulus needed for the erection has been too much, now, we should pay more attention to the momentum and connotation of the spiritual reconstruction of Henan. Naturally, this is a profound and broad proposition. But we might as well start by looking for the lost self. Henan people for Henan people, is due to the region, is due to history, is due to blood. Then, let us follow the long river of regional culture, from the source of individual civilization, along the footsteps of our ancestors, looking for the world that we had lost, and piggybacking from the long river of history to pick up some jewels of civilization, boiled a pair of spiritual medicine, and then, cleaning the wounds of the culture, digging out the spirit of the sores, the external paste and internal, and then shaping the spirit of the Henan steel, restore a healthy civilization of the Central Plains. Let the depressed people of Henan for a long time, the breath of the eyebrow, once again stand straight, with the proud Yuzhong language loudly announced: I am Henan people.

Why not?

1. Brush off the dust of history, along the long river of time, from the Spring and Autumn, from the Qin and Han Dynasties, from the Tang and Song Dynasties, from the modern era of the people of Henan, one by one, all of them are a strong personality, distinctive character, or to look at the sky and see the way, or leaning on the sword and laughing, or the edge of the power of the sword, or the poetry pen as a sword, all hot blood, the heroic spirit of the sky, the world's morality, a shoulder shoulder the welfare of the people. They have never been that kind of ancient ways, or stirred up the heaven and earth of benevolence and righteousness, or filled with compassionate feelings of salvation. This is embodied in the chivalrous military generals, is loyal, is loyal to the country; embodied in the literati officials, is worried about the country and the people, is to bow and scrape. This kind of strong feelings into the world, endless, passing thousands of years, has been inspired by the warmth of the heart of every Chinese.

Henan people, the most famous is Lao Zhuang. These two Taoist ancestors, although also have the heart to serve the country and save the people, but chose the "out of the world" way. Riding a green ox and go in style, the Royal breeze and swim, even if it is desirable, negative avoidance of the world, return to the truth, is not a curve "save the country" philosophy, and has always been used by the rulers. As the so-called "external Confucianism, internal respect for the Yellow Road", so that the heart does not pleasant to manipulate China for thousands of years. But as you know, the love of the zodiac is only its "fool the people" policy to suit the appetite of the "superiors". In the face of the miserable life, many people, more people in Henan, with the yellow earth to give the courage, through the Yellow River to give the blood, chose a more direct, more positive "good body, help the world," the way to save the world.

Tracing back to the ancestors, I think the founder of the Mojia family in the Warring States period, Mo Zhai. Hei Zhai is Shangqiu people, he advocates people love each other as equals (love), opposed to aggressive war (non-attack), with modern terminology to explain, he is probably the earliest Chinese advocate of fraternalism and pacifism of the wise man. According to the evidence, the Mohist school is a paramilitary organization, there is a set of strict and unique organization and management, probably the earliest Chinese jianghu gang. I think this group of warriors, in addition to promoting their own political ideas, must also do some "for the sake of heaven, robbing the rich to help the poor" thing.

After Mozi, another Henan warrior named Jing Ke made his debut. He was a native of the state of Wei (now Henan Province), whether or not Mozi heir, is no longer available. We only know that he loves to read, martial arts. Back then, in order to repay the kindness of Yan Prince Dan, he resolutely agreed to carry out the "impossible task" - assassination of Qin Wangzheng. To this day, when I read the words and phrases in the history book, "The wind is Xiao Xiao and the water is cold, the strong man will never return", I will still be y shaken by the chivalrous atmosphere that I feel at home in death. Outside the Pavilion, by the ancient road, the sun is like blood, plain clothes like snow, a group of high crowns and scholars, stood in solemnity, for a furious hair, will embark on the road of no return of the Henan people to pay tribute to send off. History was frozen in that moment, weathered into a poignant and tragic landscape that has touched us for thousands of years.

Tang, Songshan and rushed down a large number of brave and incomparable Shaolin monks, they protect the king of Tang, fighting thieves, staged a breathtaking, wonderful and incomparable in addition to the treacherous and punitive "Shaolin Temple". To the Song Dynasty, Tangyin County, Henan Province, and out of a heavenly, capable of martial arts national hero Yue Fei. When the gray-haired mother Yue stabbed her son with the four words of loyalty to the country, not only a strong national spirit branded in Yue Fei's heart, but also woke up every Chinese with a passionate blood, a conscience. Back then, Yue's army (there must be a large part of Henan's hot-blooded men) disciplined, fighting bravely, so that the Jin people can only lament "easy to shake the mountain, shake Yue's army is difficult". Think of General Yue that rod of the gold gun, is how the weak dynasty before picking up a confident flag, think of the Yue family generals that pair of silver hammer, is how to the barbaric barbarians smashed the warning gong. And the magnificent "Man Jiang Hong", and how to inspire the good sons and daughters of China, generation after generation, to write the song of loyalty to the country.

When history slipped through the 1950s, on the battlefields of Korea where the guns were roaring, the high sounding Yu opera tunes were ringing out: "Brother Liu's speech, the reasoning is too biased, who says that a woman is not as good as a man?" Yes, that's the pride of Henan people, Chang Xiangyu, a wonderful woman, is leading a charity performance. Back then, it was her, tireless, national tour, even for the volunteer army to raise funds for two airplanes. Henan people's patriotic feelings, once inspired, they can create countless miracles. It should be added that the famous anti-Japanese hero, General Ji Hongchang, also often sleep in this land.

Henan literati, this valuable humanistic feelings, the most obvious performance is the Gongxian Du Fu. This great poet, respectable can only be described as great. He was so y in love with this land. He was so y in love with this land. "Vermilion door stinks of wine and meat, and there are frozen dead bones on the road" is his anger at social injustice; "New ghosts are annoyed by the injustice and old ghosts cry, and the sky is cloudy and rainy and wet and chirping" is his sympathy for the lonely people under the fire of war; "There are ten million rooms in a wide building, and people who live in the cold world are all happy" is his sympathy for the lonely people under the fire of war. The world's poor people all happy", is his most simple humanistic ideal. There is also the heavy and still heartbreaking "Three Officials and Three Farewells", which is his sarcastic accusation against tyranny. These beautiful and touching verses have warmed the hearts of many conscientious Chinese.

Another example is Liu Yuxi, a native of Luoyang in the Middle Tang Dynasty, who was on a par with Bai Juyi and was a like-minded advocate of the new music movement, which advocated that "writings should be written for the times, and songs and poems should be composed for the events", and that he voluntarily put the people in the first place and liked to speak for them. The political satirical poems made by him are pungent and sharp; the nostalgic poems made by him are somber and cool, with shallow words and deep meanings; and the imitation folk songs made by him are refreshing and original. His fellow countryman, Yuan Zhen, was also a man of this way. Later, there is a Lushan called Yuan Jie, whose poems reflect the plight of the people, and strongly opposed to the formalist poetry style of "restricting the sound of disease, like the appearance of", but flowed to the extreme, did not do the poetry of close to the body of the life of the ancient poems are also flat and monotonous. Although its literary achievements are far from being comparable to those of its predecessors, the blood of the people of Henan is still common.

In successive generations of Henan officials for the benefit of the people, the most intelligent to be counted in the Spring and Autumn period of Fan Li, the most upright is the Northern Song Dynasty of Bao Zheng, and the most selfless, but also the most moving is the people's good secretary Jiao Yulu. Fan Li was a native of Wan (now Nanyang, Henan Province) in the State of Chu, and a great statesman and militarist at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. He came from a lowly background, but he was absolutely smart, assisting King Goujian of Yue, clever beauty plan, painstaking management, precise planning, and finally destroyed the state of Wu, accomplishing a generation of supremacy of the king of Yue. However, when he became famous, he did not want to be rich and famous, and retreated in stealth.

The book "The Book of Yue" says: "After Xi Shi died in the state of Wu, she returned to Fan Li and went to the five lakes with him."

The Records of the Grand Historian (史记-货殖列传), also reads, "After traveling to Qi, he went to Tao, changed his name to Tao Zhu Gong, and became rich in business. In his later years, he loved the landscape of Taihu Lake and fish farming. Author of the "Keiran chapter", "fish farming scripture". Politics and business, for the country and the family, the Henan man, with his wisdom and action to solve a moral problem of "how to release the humanistic feelings of the readers". The brilliant light of his thought, and still have a blinding feeling when you look at it.

The black-faced "clean official" of "Pao Longtu sitting in Kaifeng House", how to skillfully balance between principle and human feelings, power and morality, and punish the evil with strength, and do justice with wisdom. The people's "heaven and earth conscience", "clean official complex", but also because of this has existed in the reality of the spiritual idol, balanced a lot, a lot of comfort.

And the modern parents of Lankao County, with all his life and passion to practice the spiritual ideal of "serving the people". In those hard days, he seriously adhere to the party nature, with conscience carefully adjusted, let the action carefully filled. Today, this great spiritual coordinates, in the form of a monument stands, in the rigid slogans proclaimed, although some lonely, some lonely, but no one can deny its existence.

Here is also worth mentioning the people of Henan, is more than 1700 years ago, Nanyang Zhang Zhongjing. He was regarded as the "Sage of Medicine" by later generations, and faced with the bleak reality of war and chaos and epidemics, he resolutely chose the career of a doctor to save lives and help the world with the most simple thoughts and sincere feelings, and to do what he could do. Later, he wrote "Treatise on Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases", which is still widely influential both at home and abroad today. The book, "The Essentials of the Golden Chamber," has been honored by generations of doctors as "the ancestor of the medical prescription.

On this ancient and heavy land, warriors tried their swords, warriors made guns, singers showed their throats, scribes put their pens, officials used their brains, doctors used their hands, and they all gathered under the banner of humanism, which cracked and rang, and they held on to the last castle of the Central Plains civilization in an elegant and heroic manner.

2. In addition to the hot blood, in addition to this bold sentiment, the people of Henan also has its showy and bright side. In the regional culture, the Henan literati have always been known for their magnificent and peculiar imagination, and their exquisite and colorful writing.

The representative character of this point is naturally Shangqiu Zhuangzi. This dream butterfly forgetfulness, drum basin buried wife of Henan people, the reality of life is very shabby, and even some shrinkage. People thin "haggard yellow cut off the left ear of the slain", living in the "poor village", rely on fishing, playing straw sandals to maintain life. But his spiritual world, but the richness of a mess, dashing with the sky and the earth. That sprawling book "Zhuangzi", the writing is beautiful and witty, imaginative and unrestrained, since ancient times is the literati must read the book. It not only deals with philosophy, human relationships, politics, but also talks about aesthetics, art, language, biology, health and other aspects. Both Wen Yiduo and Guo Moruo believed that Chinese art originated from Zhuangzi, and that a history of Chinese literature was almost always produced under its influence.

It is well known that Zhuangzi's writings are truly heavenly, and he freely traveled through all kinds of space and time and concepts, which makes for a very quick and enjoyable read. Another characteristic of Zhuangzi is that he likes to make up stories to ridicule and sarcasm. The skill of this point, he used with ease, very skillful. If Zhuangzi had lived in this world, facing the world's attack on Henan, I think he would have been more than enough to deal with alone. And it is also a well-known fact that the language of Zhuangzi's writings is exquisite, and he created many new words and metaphors that are still loved and quoted by the world today.

The influence of Zhuang Zi on later generations of literati was enormous, and naturally it was no exception for the literati of his hometown. Tang Dynasty, there is a very famous Henan poet Li He, whose poems are more to win the imagination weird and strange, the conception of the strange, the writing is absolutely beautiful, seems to have the help of the gods, then known as the ghost talent. And the late Tang poet Li Shangyin (today's Henan Qinyang County people), good use of simile, colorful, excellent use of the dictionary, the formation of a meticulous and elegant, the purpose of a deep and subtle artistic style. Its "body without colorful phoenix flying wings, the heart has a spiritual rhinoceros a little bit of communication", "spring silkworms to the death of the silk side of the exhaust, wax torch into ashes, tears began to dry", "spring heart Mo *** flowers compete for hair, an inch of acacia an inch of gray!" All of them are beautiful and famous lines of the ages.

Then to the Song Dynasty, Kaifeng and out of a Shi Dazu, good at chanting, delineation of exquisite, shape and spirit. Such as "surprised by the heavy powder, the butterfly sleeps in the West Garden, like mud moist, swallow return to the South Pool", such as "look at the foot of the willow faint flowers all night, should be from the perch incense is stable, will forget, the end of the world Fangxin" and then "worry and the west wind has an appointment with the year to go to the autumn! "These words are so vivid that they are almost as if they were coming out of your mouth. Jiang Kui, a great lyricist, admired this very much, saying that "strange and elegant, with the rhyme of Li Changji. Cover can blend the scene in a family, will be the meaning of the sentence in two." There are countless masterpieces written by Henanese who can write exquisite words. For example, Liu Fangping's "Moonlit Night" has "the sound of insects newly penetrating the green window veil," and Song Qi's "Jade Tower Spring" has "the red apricot branches are bustling with spring," all of which are such beautiful and lovely sentences.

Naturally, to write beautiful poems, need inspiration, need talent, but if both are missing some, it does not matter, as long as the willingness to suffer some, or will be rewarded. In this regard, Henan Fanyang Jia Island is our example to learn. Let's see how he chanted bitterly, "Chanting a word, twisting off several stems of beard", and when it is difficult, he even has to have the determination and perseverance of "sharpening a sword for ten years". The painstaking people, the sky will not be disappointed, so willing to work hard, naturally, can also write "asked the boy under the pine, said the teacher to pick medicine to go. Only in this mountain, deep clouds do not know where." The ancient masterpiece. The allusion to "push and knock" also comes from this old gentleman who loved to learn and was willing to ponder. It is said that one day, Jia Dao was pondering on the back of a donkey whether to use the word "knock" or "push" in the poem "The monk knocked at the door under the moon", but he accidentally bumped into the car of a big official. Soldiers grabbed the old man to the official to ask for the crime, ask the reason, the official laughed, for its rigorous spirit of learning moved, and invited him to return to the house, together with the study. This big official is the people of Meng County, Henan Province, one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, Han Yu.

Today's literati in Henan, or inherited and carried forward the old ancestor's "compassionate" sentiment of salvation, for the people, for the morality, for the homeland, the writing is so simple to death, conveying the thoughts and thick that people want to cry. Or continue with the strange and delicate legacy of the Tang and Song dynasties, the article or seek playful and dangerous rhyme, revealing the eccentricity of the elves, or seek delicate and vivid, flowing with exquisite folds. But in any case, according to my understanding, they are very serious, is the most rigorous creative attitude on the road of words, the most persistent group of cultural people. Every time I read their articles or think of them as people, I can't help but feel a little warm and fuzzy.

3. In addition to these starry-eyed humanities, Henan has several other cities to be proud of. In a sense, Henan's civilization is also carried on the basis of the civilization of these cities. Such as the simplicity of Anyang, Luoyang's show, Kaifeng's delicate and so on. However, these several thousand years of history of the culture of the ancient city, but it is difficult to find some of the historical coordinates to remain. The only way to measure, perhaps only digging three feet, excavating those ancient tomb sites. Thus, the inheritance of a thousand years of civilization, so uncomfortably scattered in that pile of ruins. Brush off the dust of the millennium, with reference to the notes of our ancestors, in the difficult to understand the oracle bone inscriptions, in the rusty bronze tripod, in the ruins of the broken walls, in the pieces of broken dishes on the celadon, we are trying to piece together the light of civilization on this piece of land had been shining. Yin ruins, Shangdu, Wei Jin city, Song official kiln, how many splendor and civilization, how much blood and shame, are due to frequent wars, the Yellow River flooding, all buried in the thick sand, disappeared in the few time and space.

About Anyang, the most famous is the discovery of the oracle bone inscriptions Yinxu. The ancient city, with a history of more than 3,000 years, also had rare prosperity as it was once the political, economic and cultural center of the late Shang Dynasty. It is not difficult to speculate on the bronze treasures dug out from there, whether in shape or craftsmanship. Just that era is too far away from us, in addition to conjectural pride, in addition to the mottled artifacts, we seem to be unable to obtain more things. But the humanistic legacy of the atmosphere still exists. In the old city of Anyang, there is a "Renyi Lane", where was once the ancestral home of the Ming Dynasty Chancellor Guo Park. It is said that when Guo's neighbor built a house and occupied a wall of Guo's land, Guo's family was not angry and the family reasoning, one after another, the trouble until the public court. The magistrate was afraid that both parties were officials and officials did not dare to hear the case, so the two families continued to argue. Guo family in a hurry to send people to the capital to report this matter to Guo Park, Guo Park immediately returned a letter. But when Guo's family opened the letter with hope, they didn't want to see these lines of poetry on it: "A thousand miles to send a letter just for the wall, what's the harm in letting him go three feet? The Great Wall of China still exists today, but I don't see the Qin Shi Huang of the past." With this lane of Anyang, only to make the cold cultural relics and the reality of the humanities docking, only to make it confident enough to face the world's change of honor and disgrace peacefully.

Luoyang is probably Henan's proudest city. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Wei Dynasty, Jin Dynasty and Tang Dynasty have built their capitals here, and it is called the ancient capital of nine dynasties. And I thought, those who built the capital here are mostly isolated small dynasties, such as Wei, Jin, Tang, etc., or the weak dynasty, such as the Eastern Zhou. This embarrassing reality is precisely why the city of Luoyang can not atmosphere up, and more unfortunate is that this small court necessary in the integration of the history of the unification of time and again be eliminated, be ravaged, and the brunt of the natural as the capital of the city of Luoyang. It is no exaggeration to say that of China's many historical cities, Luoyang is the most tragic. The history of the city of Luoyang, but also is a repeated destruction, sadness and hate continue the history of blood and tears. The ancients sighed: "want to know the rise and fall of the world, please see the city of Luoyang". In the killing of iron and steel, history can not be retained, culture can not continue. Especially after the Song Dynasty, with the economic and cultural southward shift, as well as the Yellow River's sudden diversion and reckless flooding, Luoyang forever lost the opportunity to rise again. The splendor of the past is forever sealed in the memory of history. Nowadays, it is hard to find any traces of Luoyang's former prosperity. What we can mention, in addition to the garden of peonies, in addition to the outskirts of the lonely White Horse Temple, in addition to the traces of the fuzzy Longmen Grottoes, there is no civilization that can be mentioned as a witness.

In my opinion, Luoyang's most glorious moment should be the time of the Han and Tang dynasties, as the most important capital of the good times. After all, at that time she served a complete and powerful dynasty, and she had time to dress up and take care of herself. Back then, she was probably one of the most beautiful and spectacular cities in China. The rich and powerful competed to copy the "San Du Fu", making a moment of "Luoyang paper expensive", that is the Wei and Jin dynasties of Luoyang, "paintings and vermilion buildings look at each other, red peaches and green willows to the eaves," this is the Luoyang of the Tang Dynasty. "Year after year flowers bloom emperor's home" of the flower city of Luoyang, now can only look for from the cold ancient books, in a curtain dream to reappear. Kaifeng is luckier than Luoyang in that, although it has served some similar minor dynasties, it did serve one of the most culturally and economically advanced dynasties in the world, the Northern Song Dynasty, for nearly 150 years. Anyone who has seen "Qingming Riverside Drawing" has been amazed by the splendor and prosperity of that imperial capital. What is shown on the map is only a small corner of the imperial capital.

The Bianjing of that year had an outer city and an inner city. The outer city was thirteen miles square, the inner city was seven miles, and there were twelve gates around the city. Outside the city has a moat around the river, the river is 100 feet wide, the river on both sides of the elm tree willows, the white wall is reflected in the trees between the emerald green. There are four rivers flowing from the city, mostly from the west to the east, the largest of which is the Yanghe River, from Anhui Province, Henan Province, the Great Plains of food, all transported on this river. The water gate on the river is closed at night. The streets of the city are passed through with guards at intervals of a hundred yards. The river, which flows through the city, is connected by carved and painted wooden bridges. The streets are crowded with pedestrians, and official carriages, oxcarts, and sedan chairs stream through the streets. The curtains were lowered on the oxcarts with women sitting in them. In the Imperial City has a characteristic, is must wear a hat, even if lowly as fortune-telling face reading, but also to dress like a reader. Think about it, if that "Qingming Shanghe Tu" prosperity reproduced, that is a picture of how wonderful.

Today's Kaifeng City, in addition to the Tower, has not found a trace of the Song Dynasty. That Zhongzhou in its prime, "store Cui Guan'er, twisted gold snow willow" of the world's prosperity, has gone. The canals in the forest of sailboats, Daxiangguo Temple in front of the skills of juggling. Also have become a distant time and space fuzzy impression.

However, to this day, as an inland city, Kaifeng city of those several lakes, or very beautiful, very good-looking. And the city hanging around the poems and paintings, lifelike Bianbian embroidery, rich food culture, showing a lineage of the culture of the Central Plains, is still relying on a strong civilization inertia and resilience, continue down. When it comes to Henan, it is natural to mention Zhengzhou, the capital of the province, without mentioning the city. But as a city, many people in Henan do not like Zhengzhou, think there is no heritage, no characteristics, just stand in the middle of the plains, no big style. Zhengzhou's existence, as if only a transportation hub in the sense of just. It seems to be far from mature enough to bear the burden of politics, economy and especially culture.

So far, we found an embarrassing fact, that is, the population of the province, the central province of Henan, but can not find a matching spiritual coordinates to symmetry, can not find a matching modern city to represent. Specifically, Zhengzhou is a city without a soul, while Kaifeng is the only city with a soul, and when it comes to Luoyang, there is nothing but history.

Henan, which has lost its spiritual orientation and civilizational cohesion, is increasingly scattered. And the embarrassment of Henan is not just that. The most embarrassing thing is that, in the accumulation of such a rich humanistic spirit of the land, Henan people can not form a group of upward positive personality. Scattered all over the place, the flexing of teeth, just some of the residual small farmers civilization of stubborn disease. Loss of humanistic orientation and spiritual coordinates of the people of Henan, had to be somewhat helpless, some unwilling to live in the face of dirt, stoicism.

4. In the long river of regional culture in Henan, the convergence, collision and integration of humanistic spirit, sometimes it is inevitable that there will be some deviation, out of some embarrassment. The earliest embarrassment, from Yugong. Northwest Henan and Shanxi border, there is a Wangwu Mountain, according to legend, the story of Yugong remove mountains, happened here. For the spirit of perseverance, Mao Zedong gave a very high affirmation and evaluation. The wish of Yugong to move the mountain is based on the premise of his own incense, i.e., children and grandchildren, endless scarcity.

In the 1950s and 1960s, perhaps because of his old man's love for this story, he put forward the important instructions of "many hands make light work". At that time, we were all very aware of the situation, so the instructions were actively implemented, and we were all very proud to be able to exceed the target to complete the task. According to the information I looked up, since the founding of the country, the population of almost all provinces and cities in the country has more than doubled, with the lowest growth being in Shanxi, which has only grown by nearly one-third, and the fastest-growing and most populous province is Henan. Official statistics show that in 1949, Henan Province *** counted 41.74 million people, and in 1996, up to 91.72 million, nearly 2.3 times, is the most overpopulated province.

The people of Henan, descendants of Yugong, probably have a simple superstition about population size. The leader of the country said there are more people to do a better job. This seems to be true, in the 1950s and 1960s, the famous Red Flag Canal, which was dug by the people of Henan, was said to be the world's largest canal. It was said to be the longest man-made aqueduct in the world. Without so many people, can you do such a big thing?

Another embarrassment was Lu Buwei, a big businessman in the state of Wei during the Warring States period. He was from Huaiyang, and in his time he was definitely a successful businessman. Without the sword of a knight-errant or the mouth of a traveler, a bulging bag of money was probably the only and most effective "capital" for making friends with the powerful and influential people of the time. The biggest deal that Lu made was to send his illegitimate son to the Qin Palace to become the crown prince, the first emperor of Qin, who later unified China.

He was definitely an ambitious man with strategic vision. He was able to make a speculative business so decent and sensational, and his mindset and tactics were absolutely unparalleled. He was a businessman, also served as a minister of Qin, and made his disciples compile a famous book in cultural history, "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals", if you add that bastard, the achievement is really extraordinary. However, in an individual sense, he was a failure. His various behaviors, in the final analysis, were only a kind of speculative behavior of power and money transactions, naturally, his name was not justified. We all know that he died in the end in an inexplicable and unclear manner. It is probably the destiny of all speculators to fail to make a good start and a good finish.

That is, regardless of the success or failure, regardless of the means, on the basis of his historical position, but also some embarrassment. In the eyes of historians, the interest is mostly focused on his adventurous legend and speculative talent; even when it comes to the book "Lu Shi Chun Qiu", it also deliberately describes his "one word worth a thousand words" genius of planning and extravagance. Although he was once the prime minister of Qin, the history books also gently pass over, only his business talent is recognized. In the eyes of the people, more curious about his unclear relationship with the queen of the mother, and marveled at the miracle of his life's adventures and incredible investment vision.

The poor man from Henan, as a businessman, was not as successful and authentic as his fellow predecessor Fan Li, and naturally could not afford to be honored. As a politician, but also purely just the product of power and money transactions, is the success of speculation after grabbing a reward (their own treats, comfort themselves) just, naturally, lost the weight of the due. And as a literary scholar, this is even more impossible to talk about, at best, just hang a false name. So. This Lu boss, so light in the history of the clip, wind and rain in a world, embarrassed for a thousand years.

Lv Buwei although embarrassed, but does not affect his fame. With such a good mentor as well as a good case, there was never a shortage of speculators and ambitious people who followed his example. China's political arena, but also added a few more miasma, more absurd farce; and China's businessmen, but also be stimulated by the reluctance to do business, or you would like to, or half-push half-acceptance, to the "government and business cooperation," secretly make a fall, or simply to throw themselves into the arms of the busy, but not happy, and make a mess. In terms of economic theory, Lu Buwei's greatest contribution was to verify the possibility and necessity of speculation. It is probably because of him that the traditional Chinese society started to have the industry discrimination of "no businessman no traitor".

The biggest mismatch in the humanities was between Cheng Ying and Cheng Yi, the "two Chengs" of the Song dynasty. The two old men, who spoke a strong Yuzhong dialect, vigorously promoted the theory of the founding father of the Song dynasty, Guo Pu, "half of the Analects of Confucius," and was determined to put the whole world in a Analects of Confucius. Songyang Academy under the yellow light, the two old man pondering, diligently seeking evidence, like a diligent old farmer, the Chinese ethics that crop field to clean up the square, neat and tidy. As a result, science was born, and the minds of the literati began to be unfettered. Here, I do not want to deliberately deny the academic and philosophical achievements and positive significance of the two old men, and I absolutely respect the charisma and initial motives of the two old men. Unfortunately, I do not know whether it was the stupidity of later generations or the ulterior motives of the leaders above, but the Four Books and Five Classics, the Middle Way, gradually lost the fresh fragrance of Confucius and gradually weathered into a piece of stinky and hard old dried bean curd. Although, the next seven or eight hundred years, many readers are still chewing with pleasure. But I still don't like it, and many readers have not been able to like it either. This is very different from the original intention of the two old gentlemen, and is also the most embarrassing place for both of them, that is, to this day, once a great saint, can only hide in the pile of ancient books to lament in a gray head. That once car congestion, the hustle and bustle of Songyang Academy, can only look back on those sunny days in the desolate cold.

The only consolation is that the old folks in Henan have not forgotten them, almost stubbornly obsessed with that can round out all the "mediocre" way. In terms of character, when the mediocrity is restrained by reason, it will be transformed into a kind of generous and wise virtues, and in no hair limit amplification, it will be reduced to unthinking, self-deceiving spirit of opium. The biggest embarrassment for the people of Henan is also here.

The reflection on traditional culture and the questioning of the history board is only to expect some enlightenment from the ancestors, and to be able to re-establish self-confidence, and then boldly abandon, innovation, so as to create a more open, healthier group personality in the fire of nirvana. The ultimate goal of examining history is to trace the modern humanistic significance behind its culture. Those painful historical scars, expect to be able to give a spiritual awakening to the needle, those brilliant civilization proud achievements, and can drum to spur the power of progress. In any case, the rise of regional culture, group personality remodeling, we have a long way to go.

It is remembered that a hundred years ago a western philosopher criticized China, said "Chinese people are always static people", such a point of view is not biased. But in terms of self-awareness, we have reflected on the people of this land, the people of the millennium, the spirit of personality, we have changed how much? Today, in the twenty-first century, the ancient Yellow River Road (is it only by the ancient Yellow River Road?), still densely overlapping Today, in the twenty-first century, by the ancient Yellow River Road (is it only by the ancient Yellow River Road?), there are still so many faces of déjà vu densely overlapping, numb and a little bit witty, naive and a little bit of open-mindedness. These folks who gave birth to me and raised me, as a group image, so before the millennium, so after the millennium, this new millennium, we have to continue to discuss this embarrassing humanities group, just expect time is not too long, do not grow up to forget where we came from, do not grow up to humiliate their own family still do not know shame. The line of writing to this point, can not help but think of eighty years ago in Henan Province, President General Feng Yuxiang in the system of Yu policy in particular emphasized the words: education for the establishment of the country's fundamental political.

Yes, education, only education.
