original text

Zhuangzi · stealing Zhi: Confucius said, "Qiu is lucky in the season, and wishes to walk under the curtain." Those who pay homage to you will be restored. The Robber Zhi said, "before the envoy comes!" Confucius moved forward, avoided the banquet and went back to worship the Robber Zhi. The Robber Zhi was so angry that he spread his feet, his sword and his eyes, and his voice was like a tiger. He said, "before Qiu comes, if you follow my will, you will live, if you go against my heart, you will die."

character

Liu Xiazhi is said to be Zhan and Xiong. Because he lived in Liuxia (now Liuli village, Gongli Town, Xintai), the slave owner falsely called him "stealing Zhi", so he was called "Liu Xiazhi". In the late spring and Autumn period, social contradictions intensified, resulting in a situation of "stealing public business". In many labors' revolts, the uprising led by Liu Xiazhi was a large-scale uprising in the north. In the southern part of Laiwu, at the junction of Xintai and zhanxiong village, Xiwu mountain, Jiangshan mountain, Gushan Mountain, Qishan mountain and other relics, it is the birthplace of liuxiazhi uprising. In Zhuangzi's stealing Zhi, he said that he "had been killed nine thousand years, had been rampant in the world, and had invaded the vassals." where he went, "a big country entered the city, and a small country entered the Bao (Bao)". "If you follow my will, you will live; if you go against my heart, you will die." But he has high prestige in the hearts of the working people. "Xunzi meticulously" said: "stealing Zhi Yin mouth, reputation like the sun and the moon, and Shun Yu are passed on forever.". In the chapter of the spring and Autumn Annals of the Lu family, Dangwu recorded five uprising ways he discussed, namely: "zhongzang, Shengye; entering first, Yongye; leaving later, Yiye; knowing the time, Zhiye; Fenjun, renye". "Historical records" said: "the Tu Song Yi infinite.". He hated the slave owners to the bone and vowed to "die and hold the golden cone for burial" and "when I see the six kings and five uncles, I will knock them on the head", reflecting his revolutionary spirit. In congratulating the bridegroom and praising the history, Mao Zedong said: "after stealing the reputation of Zhi Zhuang, but king Chen rose up to wave the Yellow Tomahawk, the song was not finished, and the East was white.". In laoyayu village at the foot of dongpanlong mountain in Laiwu, there is a tomb named liuxiazhi in the north.
