Lao Tzu

Librarian: the wise man in loneliness

Index of force

Representative figure Lao Tzu

In the prosperous metropolis, the library is always relatively lonesome.

The ancient library was more lonely.

Our first The Royal Library curator, his name is Li Er, the Laozi, the author of Tao Te Ching.

As a librarian, Lao Tzu does not have much work to do.

In such a large library, there are piles of bamboo slips with many white spots.

When the weather is fine, Lao Tzu will command the staff to carry out these heavy things.

The result of Laozi's loneliness and metaphysics is the immortalized book "Tao Te Ching".

But it is astonishing that this important book is only five thousand words short enough to explain clearly the truth between heaven and earth.

Li Yannian Li Guinian

Court musician: if you are happy, clap your hands.

Index of force

Representative Li Yannian Li Guinian

The working people do not understand elegant music, but the court understands that the literati understand.

In the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, Li Yannian and Li Guinian, who represented the highest achievements of elegant music, always had a lot of hearty smiles when their works came out.

It is said that once, Li Yannian sang a song for Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty: "there is a beautiful woman in the north, and is independent of the world.

Look after the city and take care of others.

Rather than know the city and the country, it is hard for a beautiful woman to have it again.

After listening to this song, Han Wudi said with emotion, "OK, but where is this world going to find such a beautiful woman?" the princess of Pingyang on the side recommended to Han Wu Di that Li Yannian's sister is such a beautiful woman.

Because of this song, Li Yannian successfully promoted his sister and married Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.

Jing Ke Ni

Swordsman: a double-edged sword with pain and speed.

Index of force

The representative figure Jing Ke Nie Zheng

The swordsmen live in the world as if for just one thing, that is, when people ask -- especially those who seem to be disadvantaged groups -- "have you met any injustice? I can fight against you."

In my opinion, the better knight than Jing Ke is Nie Zheng.

Nie Zheng's career was butcher, the second career of chivalrous.

He killed a man, and fled to Qi with his mother and sister. But the fame of chivalrous Knight made him unable to stop: the South Korean aristocrat Yan Zhongzi came running to him with gold and a respectful attitude, and asked him to get rid of the Prime Minister of South Korea.

Nie Zheng refused to do anything, nor did he accept the gold of Yan Zhong Zi.

Nie Zheng did this, not that he decided to give up the second professions of chivalrous swordsman, but that he believed that his mother was still alive, and that his elder sister did not get married, and that she could not die.

Not long after his mother died, Yan Chung came to mourn and hold the rites of his parents, which made Nie Zheng deeply moved.

After burying his mother, Nie Zheng quickly married his elder sister and then went to assassinate him.

He was tired of being prime minister, with dozens of guards in the air. He was stabbed by the sword of Nie Zheng, a martial artist.

The guards gathered around, and Nie Zheng saw that he could not escape. He killed himself with his sword.

Before he died, he dug out his eyes with a long sword and made his face into a pile of meat mud.

He has only one purpose to do so: do not let people recognize him, so as not to ruin his sister.

Confucius

Teacher: class, children.

Index of force

Representative Confucius

In the age when only aristocratic children could enter school, Confucius initiated private schools and attracted the children of the broad masses of working people with the principle of teaching without distinction. This made him jump from teaching to educationist.

Confucius's teaching methods really envy future generations.

Confucius sat in the Xinglin of Qufu, where students sat around him. Mr. Kong could speak two times fluently.

At other times, he asked his disciples one by one with various questions that he had designed in advance.

Later, he simply took his disciples to ride the ox cart to travel around the country, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, and all kinds of problems of life would like to be dealt with and answered reasonably in this magnificent tour and lecture.

Xu Xiake

Explorer: there is soul and distance at foot.

Index of force

Representative Xu Xiake

Xu Xiake is the best of China's explorers. He has gone through most of his life with his feet and donkeys. He can find footprints in most of China's land.

A few years ago, after the death of contemporary Explorer Yu Chunshun, I once wrote an article with deep feeling. There are a few words which I think are still suitable for explorers in ancient China: "if the soul can really accompany me for a lifetime of breeze, if the meaning of life can start from a midnight dream...

Then, when I examine the land that the warriors walk past, I can gently say to myself, "the bird has flown, and the sky does not leave traces."

Yang Xiu

Aide: I'll give my master some advice.

Index of force

Representative Yang Xiu, Shaoxing master

The ancient staff is similar to today's general manager assistant.

They rely on their rich experience to give advice to their owners and take their own wisdom into account.

Yang Xiu, a famous ancient staff, was a talented person. He belonged to the elite of ancient intellectuals.

Their talents are quick minded and rely on being free, so that Cao Cao can appreciate him and become a senior official around him.

In the event of a box of crisp, Cao Cao's dream of killing, to intervene in the abolish of Prince Edward and other incidents, Cao Cao has put up a grudge against Yang Xiu, casually found a crime, killing Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiuzhi died because he was clever and intelligent. He did not study the way to get along with his master. In fact, most of the ancient staff's life was very moist. Most of them belonged to the good gentlemen who had been icing on the cake. They had social status and were aloof from the political struggles.

Tao Yuanming

The Hermit: let me be further away from the world.

Index of force

Representative Tao Yuanming Xu You

If you want to be a hermit, you have to have better economic conditions to support it, otherwise you will just starve to death.

Tao Yuanming's story of not being able to bow to five meters is widely read by posterity, but people seldom think about a problem, that is, Tao Yuanming actually doesn't need the five meters at all. His industry is enough for him to live in the elegant life of poetry, wine, flowers and grass.

Otherwise, "sow bean under the south mountain, the grass is full of bean sprouts", which makes the peasants cry for no tears (presumably buying fake seeds), and will not be entertained by his old people as a kind of entertainment.

Although hermits are living in peace with their lives, sometimes, because of their great fame, the recluses often ask them to come out and become officials. This situation is like embarrassing and indignation for a widow who is determined to keep her chastity.

It is said that Xu is a great hermit in the age of Emperor Yao. Yao decided to pass the throne to him several times.

Later, Yao told Xu that he would appoint a senior official who was appointed to Kyushu as prime minister.

Yao Di estimated that his brain was in the water. Xu You did not even have the throne. Where would the Kyushu governor want to spend his day? Sure enough, Xu You was very angry and thought that Yao's words had seriously polluted his ears, so he ran to the water and washed his ears. This is the famous story of Xu You's ear washing.

Sun Simiao

Famous doctor: please stick out your tongue.

Index of force

Representative Zhang Zhongjing Sun Simiao

The profession of curing the disease and saving people has a high social status in ancient times.

It is possible that few people may not be in awe of them.

This awe is, in the final analysis, an investment in one's health.

Of course, when a young doctor is young, he may not always sit in the hall to inquisition, but walk on the dusty road. Just like today's science and technology, health culture, three experts who go to the countryside, birds fall to the public. They will build their own fame in the years belonging to the people.

Tai: do you know my happiness?

Index of force

Representative Du Mu Ou Yangxiu

In the various official positions of ancient times, the duty of the Imperial Guard was very "giving power".

It has different names in the past dynasties, for example, called "Shi Shi", also known as "Zhi Zhou", also known as prefect.

It is equivalent to the mayor of prefecture level cities today, and constitutes the main body of governance.

In those years of singing and dancing, the prefect is often the pronoun of romantic life. Look at the literati in China, so many people have done Tai Ju, you will understand this: Wang Changling, Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Du Mu, Ou Yangxiu, Su Shi, Lu You...

When these happy guards were in office, most of the territory was quiet, so they did some things like redeveloping Yueyang Tower or visiting drunken Pavilion.

On the one hand, they are literati and occupy important discourse power; on the other hand, the position of the prefect is not too high, but it is not comparable to the petty official.

Poetry collector: flying bees in the folk

Index of force

The representative faces are obscure.

Among all cultural related occupations, the poetry collector is the oldest and the most culturally advanced.

In the distant Zhou Dai, their figure has appeared in the land of the Central Plains.

This is a work that goes all over the world in the name of poetry. It is always as popular as a bee to fly in flowers.

Folk suffering is often understood by Zhou kings and other princes through these folk songs.

In other times, the poetry collector took the responsibility of national public opinion investigator, journalist and National Poetry recorder.

Unfortunately, we can not know the names of these poems. They have been condensed into a noun in the depths of history.
