History

Chapter 14 Chronology of the Twelve Princes
Tai Shigong read the Spring and Autumn Calendar Spy, and even King Li of Zhou sighed without discarding the book.Said: Woohoo, Master Zhi saw it!Zhou is like chopsticks and Jizixi.Zhou Daoque, the poet's seat, was written by Guan Ju.The Mausoleum of Renyi is late, and the deer sings and stabs.As far as King Li, he heard about his mistakes with evil, and the public officials were afraid of being punished and made disasters, so King Li ran to Yu, and the chaos began in the capital, and the administration of the Republic.It is the queen or the government, the strong take advantage of the weak, and the emperor is not invited to promote the teacher.However, relying on the righteousness of the royal family, with the mouth and mouth as the leader of the alliance, the government is governed by the five uncles, the princes will do whatever they want, the extravagance and misconduct, and the thieves and officials usurping their sons will grow up.Qi, Jin, Qin, and Chu were insignificant in Chengzhou, and they were sealed for hundreds or fifty miles.The Jin blocked the three rivers, the Qi took the East China Sea, the Chu intervened the Jianghuai, and the Qin Dynasty, because of the solidity of Yongzhou, the four seas prospered, and it was even more uncle.Therefore, Confucius was able to understand the way of kingship, and he was unable to use more than seventy monarchs. Therefore, he looked at the Zhou Dynasty from the west, and discussed the old news of the historical records. Its burden is heavy, to rule righteousness and law, kingly way is prepared, and human affairs are excellent.The apprentices of the Seventy Sons received their biography, and the words that were ridiculed, taboo, and damaged should not be seen in books.Zuo Qiuming, a gentleman of Lu, was afraid that all his disciples would be heretics, each of them would settle down to his own ideas, and lose the truth. Therefore, because of the historical records of Confucius, there are comments on his words, which became Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals.Duojiao is the king of Chu Wei, and he can't look at the spring and autumn as a king. He can take success or failure. He died in forty chapters.When Zhao Xiaocheng was king, his chancellor, Yu Qing, collected the Spring and Autumn Annals from the top and observed the current situation from the bottom. He also wrote eight articles, which were called Spring and Autumn Annals of the Yu family.Lu Buwei, the Prime Minister of King Zhuangxiang of Qin, also looked at the ancient times, deleted and collected the Spring and Autumn Period, and collected the current affairs of the six countries.And disciples such as Xunqing, Mencius, Gongsun Gu, and Han Fei often wrote books based on the literature of the Spring and Autumn Period, and they were different from each other.Zhang Cang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, wrote down the five virtues, and Dong Zhongshu, the senior doctor, promoted the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, which is quite literary.

Tai Shigong said: Confucianists judge their righteousness, and those who speak freely speak their words, but don't try to sum up their beginnings; All things are difficult.So the twelve princes were compiled, and Confucius was born in the republic, and the Spring and Autumn Period, and the national language scholars ridiculed the rise and fall of the big finger in the article, and those who want to learn and rule ancient prose should delete it.
