Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

In the pre-Qin period, there were only three former residences in Confucius' mansion.

After Confucius died, the Confucius Mansion was turned into a temple to commemorate Confucius.

The descendants of Confucius can only live here and worship the saint.

Hundreds of years later...

Cao Cao saw that Confucius' mansion was dilapidated, so he "built a house outside the three old temples to house scholars."

Six, seven hundred years of time!

In other words, the Cao Cao family built a house for the Kong family.

But Confucius...

The Cao family cried out that they were wronged...

More than 500 years ago, the Confucius family was actually very small!

After Song Renzong succeeded to the throne, he extensively built the Confucius mansion and named the descendants of the Confucius family "Yanshenggong".

The Zhao family of the Song Dynasty was very benevolent to Confucius.

For more than 1000 years, dynasties changed countless times, but no one cared about where the Kong family lived.

During the reign of the Zhao family in the Song Dynasty, they once again showed great favor to the Kong family.

They were directly expanded to dozens of houses!

But Confucius...

The Zhao family exclaimed that it was so miserable...

When Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Tartars and restored China, the Zhu family once again gave Confucius a great gift.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Confucius Mansion went through three large-scale construction projects: "Hongwu, Hongzhi, and Jiajing".

Even, they did not hesitate to move Qufu County.

Even if we move to a city, we must let the Kong family live in a bright and spacious place...

How big is the house that the Zhu family built for the Kong family?

They directly built city walls and moats...

The three shabby thatched houses in the past have become a city!

The construction area alone exceeds two hundred acres!

However, Confucius...

Zhu's...

Well, there is no one in the Zhu family to complain.

They were almost killed by the new master of the Kong family, and no one complained...

……

(Note: The main buildings of the Confucius Mansion are the three houses of Cao, Zhao and Zhu above...)

……

Today's Confucianism is beyond description.

For example, the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty was so miserable——

Not even half a dime in my pocket...

The Confucius family was rich - according to the Kong family's own expenditure records, they spent between 5 and 18 copper coins every day.

every day! ! !

……

The Confucius family has taken over most of the business in Shandong, and the slaves of the Confucius family even run rampant in Shandong and Henan, and no one dares to control them...

The fields in Kongmen alone total 3600 hectares, totaling more than 100 million acres.

This does not include the fields occupied by the servants of the Kong family and the fields occupied by the branches of the Kong family...

……

At the end of August last year, Shunzhi entered the capital.

On September [-], Kong Yinzhi hurriedly wrote a "Persuasion to Enter" to Shunzhi.

An excerpt is shown below:

However, Dorgon was angry.

Why are you angry?

Because Kong Yinzhi revealed inside and out - well, you can just let everyone in the world shave their heads. Your hairstyle is really ugly. Can we discuss it? I, the descendant of the most holy teacher, can No need to shave your head?

Dorgon scolded him, but he had only one meaning - you are so damn darling, shaving your hair to make it easier for you to dress is a national policy of the Qing Dynasty. If you dare not shave your head, I will chop you to death!

So Kong Yinzhi came in a hurry.

Not only did he shave his head and change his clothes, he also came with a letter of apology from Confucius.

That's right—

This time, Kong Yinzhi came with the "Head-Shaving Memorial" in which he confessed his crime.

……

After kowtowing, Kong Yinzhi stood up.

He was so excited that he had forgotten how to perform 24 rak'ahs.

After his head hurt from the hard bluestone, he remembered etiquette.

Kong Yinzhi climbed up and straightened his first-grade crane suit.

Bend down and bow.

He sang passionately and chanted:

"One step forward, one step forward, one step forward, one sword to meet Guan Yunchang.

The two characters "two steps" are divided into yin and yang, and the front and back movements express the sincerity. "

Then he twisted around, put his hands together into fists, moved his hips, and knelt down on one knee.

The hands become intertwined and placed on the knee of the left leg, and the right leg kneels on the ground.

He moved his hand smoothly and knelt down on his left knee.

Then the gestures of both hands changed, and the palms of the hands touched the ground.

"Bang bang!"

Four more rings.

Seeing the master of the family perform a grand ceremony, how could the Confucian family, whose etiquette has been passed down from generation to generation, dare to stand?

They had been following Kong Yinzhi for a long time, doing the same actions.

24 bows, commonly known as the big salute.

The salute techniques are flexible and changeable, but the total number of 24 kowtows is fixed.

Kong Yinzhi stood up and continued to move forward.

Make a bow and stand up.

read:

"Three steps are like three guns, Taoyuan is sworn to Liu Guanzhang;

With four steps and four stacks of walls in all directions, the Wagang brothers went to join the Tang Dynasty. "

After a set of pleasing movements...

"Bang Bang Bang!"

Four more rings.

Get up and move forward.

Make a bow and sing:

"Five steps cross-legged and looking eastward, Zixu crossed the pass and surrendered to the king of Wu;

Six steps and three o'clock in the middle, Yang Jing was loyal to protect the king of Song Dynasty. "

A set of actions...

"Bang Bang Bang!"

Another four rings!

Get up, move forward, and bow.

Chant:

“Seven steps and seven stars hung in the north, Zheng He sailed to the Western Ocean;

The horoscope of Emei is divided into two parts, and it belongs to Zhao Defang, the wise king of the Song Dynasty. "

A set of supremely complex movements...

"Bang Bang Bang!"

The four-ringed head kowtowed accurately and hard!

Kong Yinzhi’s actions shocked passers-by.

The people with numb faces, sallow complexions, and thin muscles looked at this huge scene of hundreds of people kneeling to worship in bewilderment.

There is no wave in the dry well in the eyes.

In this world, life is worse than death...

No matter how vast the scene in front of him is, it can't stop him from going hungry if he can't find any money today...

The soldiers at the city gate were also stunned.

They were stunned for a long time, with some blood still on their faces.

It wasn't until Kong Yinzhi had kowtowed more than a dozen times that he thought of going to the city to report the news.

……

Kong Yinzhi is worthy of being a descendant of Confucius, and his etiquette is thoughtful.

His fluttering sleeves, suits, leather shoes, gorgeous skirts, and every move are so standard that you can't fault him.

He slowly moved forward, his hands flying like a lotus flower.

Make a bow and sing:

"The nine-character curved dragon has a long tail, Han Xinshan is in the front row of the battlefield;

There was a cross and a beam, and Gou Jian lay down on the firewood to taste the courage. "

Kneel down and kowtow.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

The four heads kowtowed loudly!

After knocking twenty times in a row, Kong Yinzhi felt a little dizzy.

However, the gift was not over yet.

He suppressed his dizziness and continued to move forward, bowing and chanting:

"In the cold winter of November, snowflakes are falling, and Su Wu is herding sheep by the North Sea.

After twelve years of walking, the young man Gan Luo became the prime minister. "

Then he fell to his knees and said "bang bang bang" four times!

At this point, the ceremony is over.

Kong Yinzhi stood up.

Feeling dizzy...

He has made a big deal out of this set of procedures.

At home, when I worshiped the Holy Master once a week, I didn’t even bother with this...

The main thing is that there is no need to knock the end!

If you leave it here, it won't make any sound, and your heart will be dishonest...

……

The servants of the Kong family who followed behind also saluted, and when they saw the head of the family standing up, they all stood up.

The two core members of the Kong clan hurriedly supported the family leader.

Kong Yinzhi stopped and stood in front of the city gate, waiting quietly.

He did not dare to enter Beijing without the Qing Emperor's order.

Kong Yinzhi had a humble face and a friendly smile on his lips, but he kept muttering in his heart:

In other words, he changed to a powerful master.

Otherwise, you try...

I will definitely let the Confucian scholars spray you to death!

Dad Qing's knife is too sharp, he dare not spray, dare not spray...
