Chapter 12: Ying Family
[Because some family members want to know about the Gregorian calendar, I will give a brief explanation.

The AD calendar originated from Christianity. AD, also known as the Gregorian calendar era, was originally called the Christian era, also known as the Western calendar or the Western era.

The AD calendar takes the year of Jesus' birth as the first year of the AD.

This year was the first year of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty in ancient my country. 】

Everyone frowned when they heard this.

Where is Europe? Who is Jesus?
[After the revolution, the government of our country at that time adopted the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar together.

After the founding of New China, the first session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference adopted the Gregorian calendar to keep consistent with other countries.

"Ge" means change and "Ming" means destiny, so changing dynasties?
From the time the sky curtain appeared until now, we have finally talked about the founding of their country, although only a small part of it.

People who were familiar with the calendar nodded. Although it was not something from the Central Plains, it was quite convenient to use. The dynasty time was clear at a glance and it should be able to serve as a supplement.

As for replacement, what a joke! They value orthodoxy, and Central Plains culture has always been at the top. How could they be willing to be replaced?
[Everyone should have a general idea now, let's watch the video. 】

(Han-××hong: Clearly understood.)
……

【Kyushu Datong——

Another passionate and vast song begins, with horses galloping over, and a brief introduction in white words on a black background.

<During the Shun Emperor Period> Bo Yi assisted Yu in controlling floods and was given the surname Ying by Shun.

<During the Xia Dynasty> Yu wanted to abdicate the throne to Bo Yi, so Yu's son Qi killed Bo Yi and ascended the throne. The descendants of the Ying clan helped Shang to destroy Xia.

<During the Shang Dynasty> Fei Lian and his son E Lai of the Ying surname were ministers of Emperor Xin

＜Early Western Zhou Dynasty＞The Ying clan tribe was not valued by the Zhou royal family because they had previously supported the Shang Dynasty.

During the reign of King Xiao of Zhou, Ying Feizi was appreciated by King Xiao of Zhou for his skill in horse breeding and was granted the fief of Qin, which was 50 li in area.

＜Last Western Zhou Dynasty＞Duke Xiang of Qin was rewarded for his service in protecting King Ping of Zhou during his eastward migration. King Ping gave the land west of Mount Qishan to the State of Qin, and the State of Qin was officially established.】

The comments above the canopy skipped one after another.

[From 50 miles to 3.4 million square kilometers, inspiring!]
[Strong wind! Strong wind!!!]
[I, the Great Qin, am here!]
The video continues to play.

[The transition scenes have a more profound feel.]

<In 659 BC> Duke Mu of Qin ascended the throne, commanded the army well, annexed dozens of small countries in the surrounding areas, dominated the Western Rong, and became one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period!
<In 621 BC> Duke Mu of Qin died. Throughout the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin had no more powerful ruler. By the beginning of the Warring States Period, Qin was on the verge of decline. At the same time, Wei had completed its reforms and seized the land west of the Yellow River from Qin.

<In 385 BC> Duke Xian of Qin ascended the throne, implemented political reforms in Qin State and moved the capital to Liyang.

<During the reign of Qin Xian Gong> He launched several wars to recover the lost territory in Hexi, and occupied Pangcheng, an important place in Hexi, in the Battle of Shaoliang. 】

[Attention, it's about to rise!]
[Seven generations of wise rulers gradually appeared.]
Pay attention, pay attention, they are watching.

[In 361 BC, Duke Xiao of Qin ascended the throne and issued the "Edict to Seek Talents", which enabled him to carry out reforms and strengthen the country, and he moved the capital to Xianyang.

<During the reign of Duke Xiao of Qin> Qin's reforms were successful and the lost territory in Hexi was recovered.

＜337 BC＞ King Huiwen of Qin, Ying Si, ascended the throne. Because of the resentment among the royal family, he killed Wei Yang and consolidated his power.

<In 330 BC> Ying Si took Gongsun Yan as his teacher and defeated the State of Wei, recovering all of Hexi.

<In 325 BC> Qin Jun Ying Si proclaimed himself king, known in history as King Huiwen of Qin, the first King of Qin.

<During the reign of King Huiwen of Qin> Zhang Yi's strategy of "uniting the states" was used heavily, and he swept Yiqu in the north, pacified Bashu in the west, went through Hangu Pass in the east, and went south to Shangyu.

<In 310 BC> King Wu of Qin, Ying Dang, ascended the throne. During his three-year reign, he quelled the rebellion in Shu, appointed a prime minister, captured Yiyang, and established Sanchuan. Later, he lifted the Nine Cauldrons and died.

<306 BC> King Zhaoxiang of Qin ascended the throne, broke up the alliance, weakened various states, destroyed Yiqiu, and defeated Zhao at Changping.

＜At the end of the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin＞Qin's territory and national strength were the largest among all the countries.

＜256 BC＞ Qin destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and moved the Nine Cauldrons to Qin. 】

[Where did the Nine Cauldrons go?]

[Ying Dang! Died by lifting the tripod! Hahahaha~]

[very funny.]
[His posthumous title is King Wu, which is absolutely correct! His name and the way he died should not be laughed at.]
[In fact, he did not lift the tripod for fun. The nine tripods represented the whole world. He lifted the tripod to show his determination to conquer the whole world and to prove that Qin was no longer a small barbarian country. He also wanted to inspire the people of Qin. Such a person should not be laughed at.]
The still alive Qin Wang Dang felt puzzled. His name was very normal. "Cleansing the Central Plains" was so domineering!

As for death from lifting the tripod, one has to be careful afterwards, but the Nine Tripods still have to be lifted, and what that comment said is very correct.

[Ying Zheng is about to appear!]

[The King of Qin swept across the world.]
[The Greatest Emperor of All Time is coming online soon! !]
[“Zhou and Qin united and then separated. They reunited after 500 years of separation. The overlord emerged 17 years after the reunion.” It was still black with white words, but a deep male voice was reading the words.

The music suddenly changed and became high-pitched. ＜247 BC＞ Qin King Ying Zheng ascended the throne at the age of thirteen.

<In 238 BC> He put down the rebellion of Lao Ai, and the following year he dismissed Lu Buwei and took back the political power.

<230 BC> Qin destroyed Han.

<228 BC> Qin destroyed Zhao.

<225 BC> Qin conquered Wei.

<223 BC> Qin conquered Chu.

<222 BC> Qin destroyed Yan.

<221 BC> Qin conquered Qi.

At the end of the video, a man's back is seen climbing to a high position. 】

[So domineering!]

[He is truly worthy of the title of the greatest emperor of all time.]
[I’m high. It’s so exciting.]
[When the suona sounded, my blood started boiling.]
It was indeed very exciting, and the Qin monarchs felt their blood boiling after watching it.

The mood of the other countries was not so good.

Liu Bang smacked his lips, "I wonder if the Han Dynasty has such videos? They look quite exciting."

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had not changed his belief that the First Emperor was a tyrant, but this time he did not refute it.

The sky has changed again, and a new video is playing.

[Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period "Hundred Schools of Thought"——

The soldiers of the two phalanxes marched to the sound of the music, and a powerful and domineering male voice suddenly spoke:
“In an age of great contention, nations frequently engage in wars and conflicts; the strong will become stronger, and the weak will perish.”

The scene changed, and the words "A Hundred Schools of Thought" were written in red and white, with the characters matching the words.

Taoism

<Laozi> The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.

<Zhuangzi> The human world is where all living things live.

Confucianism

＜Confucius＞ If one can restrain oneself and return to propriety one day, the world will be filled with benevolence.

＜Mencius＞ The people are the most important, the country and the people are the second, and the king is the least important.

＜Xunzi＞The course of Heaven is constant; it does not exist for the sake of Yao, nor does it perish for the sake of Jie.

Mohism

＜Mozi＞ Love each other and benefit each other.

Legalism

＜Shang Yang＞ There is no one way to govern the world, and to benefit the country is not to follow the old ways.

＜Li Si＞ Many things are not produced in Qin, but are valuable; many scholars are not born in Qin, but are willing to be loyal.

"Military strategist", "Diplomat", "Yin-Yang strategist", "Novelist", "Agriculturalist", "Famous writer"

...]

[The Legalists also have Han Feizi's "Laws do not favor the rich, and the law does not bend to the crooked. Where the law is imposed, the wise cannot refuse, and the brave dare not argue. Punishment for wrongdoing does not spare high officials, and reward for good deeds does not exclude ordinary people.

[Farmer: I want to farm.]
[Master: A white horse is not a horse.]
[A hundred schools of thought contended with each other, and each school flourished, which was much better than the subsequent dominance of Confucianism.]
[The Confucianism after that has long since changed its flavor, and the meaning of some sentences has been changed to a mess, and even Confucius himself might not recognize it.]
Laozi, Confucius and others did not expect that Tianmu would talk about them.

The farmers were helpless. The words “I want to farm” were true.

Seeing that Confucianism was the only doctrine in power, the students from various schools all looked unhappy.

But when they saw that the meaning of Confucianism had been changed, Confucian disciples were angry and other schools of thought were also not at peace.

How can it be changed at will? Is Confucianism still Confucianism at that time?
Although their various schools look down on each other, this kind of behavior is still very uncomfortable.

Liu Che didn't think it had anything to do with him. Although he respected Confucianism, it was just a shell, a Confucian on the outside and a Legalist on the inside.

Dong Zhongshu blinked, feeling a little guilty.
