The founder of the Han Dynasty, later generations call him Gaozu Liu Bang. He was born in a farming family, and later in troubled times, due to chance, he became the founder of a dynasty. I don't know if it's a common problem of human beings or a unique virtue of Chinese people: they always like to look up to the rich and powerful, and worship all "celebrities" shrouded in "light" with "tinted glasses".
History is an accomplished fact, and history cannot be assumed. Although I know this truth, I still can't help but make assumptions when I graffiti here today. If Liu Bang did not succeed in the troubled times at the end of Qin Dynasty, if Liu Bang was defeated in the dispute between Chu and Han, he would never be able to become a "Gaozu" in his life, and he would only be a "Liu Ji" until his death, which is also known as "Liu San" as the saying goes. ". The winner is a prince and the loser is a thief. This is a law that no one can change. If "Liu San" succeeds, he will become the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty; if "Liu San" fails, he will be just Liu Ji, a bandit and bandit.
Because the traditional concept of "dividing people into three, six, and nine classes" has been deeply rooted in the bones for a long time, and the people's self-consciousness is too strong, and there is also the so-called "taboo for the venerable, taboo for the elders" and so on. , so that when people look back at the past of "celebrities", they often look at everything related to them from the perspective of "deification" and "sanctification". For example, the same thing about "piss and mud", if you have been an ordinary person, people will say that you are a "good-for-nothing" guy when you talk about it; When you become a so-called "celebrity", when people remember you, they will say that your peeing posture is dragon and phoenix, and that you and the mud are even. Originally this is a simple and ridiculous fact, anyone can figure it out, but we have been kidnapped for too long by the concept of "powerful and noble" and "common people are low", so that we are accustomed to it, unable to extricate ourselves, and difficult to recognize.
Liu Bang was born in a farming family, and his parents should not have much education. This can be seen from the records in the history books: Liu Bang's father is Liu Taigong, his mother is Liu Yu, and Liu Bang's three brothers are Liu Bo, Liu Zhong, and Liu Ji. I don't know if this is the written record of the people who wrote the history, or if they originally called it like this. According to the popular saying, the names of their family are: Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, Da Liu, Er Liu, and San Liu. To put it bluntly, it is not much different from "A Mao" and "A Dog".
We can learn a thing or two from what Liu Bang was like before he took over the world. In the ninth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (198 BC), Weiyang Palace in Chang'an was completed. To celebrate the completion of this royal palace, Liu Bang held a banquet in Weiyang Palace. At that time, the former "Liu San"'s father, Uncle Liu, was still alive, so he took part in this grand celebration dinner with his son's honor as a matter of course. According to the usual practice, after Liu Bang accepted the toast from the ministers, he came to his father with a cup in his hand, his face flushed, and made a toast to his father. This "Liu San" said to Uncle Liu:
"Father, back then, when our fathers were farming at home, you kept scolding me, saying that I was lazy and lazy, and I was no different from a scoundrel. You always thought that Liu Da and Liu Er worked hard. , industrious and simple, and a dutiful farmer. Take a look today, who is more promising, me, the boss, or the second child?"
When later generations commented on this record, they liked to praise Liu Bang with "Zhi Gao Cai Da". However, I think it is this passage that fully exposes Liu Bang's rascal nature. This passage also fully embodies Sima Qian's historical writing. He is obsessed with his father's reproach, and proud of his own success. Even if it's a joke, it's time to take the old man's feelings into consideration. This incident illustrates two points. One is that in the eyes of Uncle Liu, "Liu San" is really a rascal, or he used to be a rascal; No change.
It is such a rascal who became a legend after he won the throne. This legend, of course, had to start with Aunt Liu's pregnancy. It is said that once, Aunt Liu was resting on the shore of a large lake, she fell asleep accidentally, and had a dream. She dreamed that she had a relationship with a god. That day, it happened to be thunder and lightning, and the sky was dark. Uncle Liu was a little worried about his wife, so he went to find his wife. When he went, it was said that he saw a dragon attached to Aunt Liu. Soon, Aunt Liu found out that she was pregnant. When she was born, the child would be the third son of the Liu family, so she named her "Liu San", also known as Liu Ji.
This record was written by Ma Qian of the Taishi Company, and of course it was basically recognized by the Han court and royal family. Because I didn't see the banning and banning, and it has been handed down.
This is "deifying" Liu Bang, but who knows, it leaves too many questions:
Is Liu Bang the son of Uncle Liu?
Did Aunt Liu have an affair?
Why is Liu Bang not as dutiful as Liu Da and Liu Er?
Why didn't Uncle Liu like "Liu San" before?
Aunt Liu's dream was a bit self-defeating. Sometimes, inappropriate smudges not only fail to increase the beauty, but also tend to make the appearance ugly.
Ms. Liu's dream is a man-made dream! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
