I want to go back to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which is known as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After reading these works, I am full of yearning for that era. I often think how happy it would be if I could really see that era, look at the customs at that time, learn from Confucius and argue with Mencius.

I have always liked the Book of Songs. Most of the chapters in the Book of Songs should have been written in the first half of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. I especially like the poems describing the life and love of working people in the national style. "Mulberry trees are idle, and the line is still idle." Probably because I grew up in the countryside, I am familiar with such scenes. "Life and death are generous, Zi Cheng said. Holding your hand and growing old with your son ",the love oath more than two thousand years ago, is still touching to read. Although there is a poem in There are Dead Birds in the Wild, Confucius still commented that "there are 300 poems, in a word, thinking is innocent".

What attracted me most during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was the thought of a hundred schools of thought contending, which was the source of all China's thoughts and the purest time of China's thoughts. In the later history, many documents were lost because of the war and poor storage, so we can only look for Ji Guang's feathers in other works. However, hundred schools of thought gradually merged other thoughts and gradually lost his original appearance. It goes without saying that Confucianism in the May 4th period overthrew Kongjiadian. In fact, what is wrong with Confucius and Mencius? They traveled all their lives just to realize their ideals, but they were coldly treated by the governors because they were born out of time, but they became adult dolls after their death. There is also Taoism, which has gradually become a religion that believes in ghosts and gods, but it has forgotten that "the study of Taoism is actually the program of many schools." In the early Ming Dynasty, all schools used Tao, and all schools used it, with Tao as its body. " ; Unfortunately, many famous artists and farmers have become the last streams or disappeared in the long river of historical policies. I want to go back, collect their thoughts, restore the true contention of a hundred schools of thought and let the stars shine today. Of course, there are some selfishness. For example, "Historical Records Confucius Family" records that "Confucius is nine feet six inches long, and everyone calls him a' long man' but there are differences. "According to the unit of measurement at that time, it was 2.2 meters. I want to see if Confucius can compare with Yao Ming. In Qian Mu's Debate between Zhuang and Lao, it is mentioned that there are two Laozi, and the person who completed Tao Te Ching was a figure in the Warring States period, many years later than Confucius. I really want to see how many Laozi had, from whom did Confucius ask, and who wrote the shining Tao Te Ching? I also have a prank idea. Both Mencius and Zhuangzi are famous for their eloquence. Mencius' writing style is sharp, he is good at analogy and parallelism, and his momentum is compelling, such as mountains and mountains, which is hard to stare at; Zhuangzi is Wang Yang's hubris and arrogance. He is good at metaphor and contrast, and his literary color is extremely strong. For example, the vastness of the Yangtze River makes people sigh its fluency. It's a pity that they both met Liang, but they didn't intersect. What if we put them together for a debate? It was really exciting. At that time, there were strategists Su Qin and Yi Cheung. They know the overall situation, are good at thinking, argue with reason, change the situation, are full of wisdom and courage, and have long-term strategies. They can decide to change the form of the country with one mouth. Think about China's current diplomacy, protest, condemnation, and pay attention to these words. Parrots can become diplomats.

Of course, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were also full of wars. Sima Qian wrote in Historical Records that during the Spring and Autumn Period, "thirty-six years of regicide and fifty-two years of death were countless." However, some scholars in the Warring States period once counted that there was no war for only 38 years. War is undoubtedly cruel, especially for the people. "Bones are exposed in the wild, and chickens crow thousands of miles. There are hundreds of people who have left behind, and their thoughts are broken. " This is the best description of the destruction of the war, and the battle of Changping, where 400,000 prisoners died in vain, is undoubtedly the most painful moment. However, only by truly seeing these scenes of war can we understand the value of peace. At present, Sino-Japanese relations are tense, and countries such as the United States and India are also eyeing China. Many people are clamoring to teach them a lesson and go to war, but they didn't expect that after the war, the people who suffered the most were actually ordinary people.

I also want to know the real history at that time. Many of the above-mentioned schools of thought contend with no definite conclusion, which was only a part of the history at that time. In the Spring and Autumn Period, due to the high status of historians and the personal dignity of nobles, the history of the Spring and Autumn Period is very real. Chunqiu and Zuozhuan are both rigorous and true, so the history of Chunqiu is valuable. The later history is tampered with, the more severe it is. "Warring States Policy" and "Mandarin" are catalogues of later generations, many of which are legends, not exact history. Sima Qian's history is very rigorous, but there are also contradictions in the records of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in Historical Records (in fact, there are all the histories before the Han Dynasty). This is the case with the famous orphan Zhao, and this history is contradictory in Historical Records. There was no orphan of Scott in the "Golden Family", and Scott was rehabilitated the day after he was destroyed. In The Zhao Family, there is a complete story of Zhao's orphan. Which one is true? According to Zuo Zhuan, there is no orphan of Zhao. There are many reasons for this situation, such as the constant war, the loss of many historical books, the burning of books by Qin Shihuang and the destruction of many historical books. The records at that time were relatively simple, many things were not recorded in detail, and so on. There are many arguments about the history at that time. How wonderful it would be if we could go back to that era and truly and completely record the history at that time.

But this is just a dream of mine. After all, without a time machine, I can't go back to that era that haunted me. I can only imagine the characters and stories at that time in the book and then return to reality. After all, the past cannot be turned back, so it is better to base on the present.
