Straight hit the college entrance examination ｜ Miao Bixuan: They stepped on the wooden puppet into history (2)

Confuci

The sage also passed through the wooden puppet. In "Taiping Royal Lan", a paragraph of "Confucian Confucianism" was cited: "Confucius to Cai, solve the guest house.

Why did Confucius wear wooden pupa? No one has given exact reasons, but combined with Confucius, a special person, he will find that he really makes some reason to choose a wooden puppet. First, Confucius is too high and heavy, and wearing a pair of wear -resistant wooden crickets is a more economical choice. Second, Confucius likes the Book of Songs and Music.

The poem may sound music; third, Confucius may also want to reduce the speed by wearing a wooden cricket, which looks more gentle and more elegant.

According to ancient living habits, this wooden cricket should be stolen outside the door. Confucius's wooden crickets are different. His height is about two meters, and the wooden cricket is one foot four long. Ordinary people can't wear it at all. Stealing a shoe like this can be described as doubtful.

The first possibility: Confucius was unsatisfactory when he was in Cai Guo. Although Confucius was very famous at that time, the doctors of Chen Cai were very exclusive. They believed that the monarch would hurt his own interests if he accepted Confucius' thoughts. Therefore, they made a warning and stole only one shoe to let Confucius know that someone was dissatisfied with him, and it was time to converge. The second possibility: Confucius was famous at the time, and some people might realize that his things have huge collection value in the future -maybe this guess is a little naive, but it cannot be completely eliminated.

If you only look at the experience of the Confucius weekly traveling country, the first may be very large; but if you look at the story behind Confucius, the second possibility is also. About 700 years after the death of Confucius, according to the "Jin Shu · Five Elements" records, the tanks of the Jin Dynasty lost fire, and although the strong rescue was organized and kept closely, the "strange treasures" collected by the dynasties of the dynasties, such as Wang Mang's head and Confucius' heads, Confucius’s The swords of the puppets and Han Gaozu chopped the white snake ... were still "exhausted for a while," disappeared.
