Idiom story

In the spring and Autumn period, a series of ancient laws and rituals since the Western Zhou Dynasty were broken, and the whole land of China fell into a long period of war. Among those vassals who wanted to participate in the struggle for hegemony, many people often made some strange things in order to prove the loss of the Emperor's power and their hegemony, and advocated fighting for hegemony by force. Many vassals appeared a large number of rebellions and power grabs, and so on The princes no longer advocate etiquette, but are very interested in ghosts and gods, which are known as the collapse of rites and music, and the roaring of thunder. In the face of these phenomena, Confucius has always been sneering at them. He has always respected "benevolence" and hoped to restore the ancient law. Therefore, he never talked about strange things, never recommended the policy of fighting for hegemony to the princes, never participated in rebellion, and never took part in war Not allowing his disciples to participate in the rebellion has always been "respecting ghosts and gods" and praising Jiang Shang's practice of trampling tortoise shells and not believing in ghosts and gods.
