Longyang

catamite

Longyangjun, who lived around 243 B.C., was the man's favorite of the king of Wei Anli. He was gentle and charming like a woman. He was favored by the king of Wei, so he was named longyangjun. Wei Anli King's special favor for longyangjun also makes Longyang's kindness synonymous with homosexuality.

Personage introduction

According to historical records, long Yangjun is not only a famous swordsman, but also one of the best swordsmen in the state of Wei. He is highly sensitive to politics. He often represents the state of Wei in sending missions to other countries to complete tasks perfectly. At the same time, he has multiple and complex identities, such as beauty, strategist, martial arts expert, diplomat, etc.

The results of his efforts are obvious. Although many of his later disciples and grandchildren have fallen in love with the country and the king, most of them have died.

However, after the death of King Wei'an, longyangjun was still in a stable position and trusted by the new king. In the process of Qin's extermination of the six states, the calamity he suffered was recorded in history. But his beauty and wisdom make people always remember this peerless man.

Anecdotes and allusions

ZhanGuoCe · weice · the chapter of fishing with longyangjun

"The king of Wei and longyangjun fished together. Longyangjun got more than ten fish and wept. Wang said, are you upset? If so, why don't you tell me? I said to him, I dare not be uneasy. Wang said, but what is the discharge of tears? He said, "I'm the king's fish.". Wang said, what is also? As for me, I was very happy to get fish at the beginning, but I was more and more pleased to get fish at the end, so I wanted to abandon what I had got before. Now I use my viciousness to brush my pillow for the king. Now I am the king of chivalry, and I want to go to court and open up my way. There are many beauties in the world. I will clean my clothes and go to the king when I hear that I am lucky to get fish. I will also abandon it when I hear that I have got fish before, AI: if you have a heart, why don't you tell each other“

The people who observe and study closely, their sincere flattery is solid, and their self compilation is complete. Now, from thousands of miles away, if you want to enter the beauty market, will you be lucky if you are willing to work? If I'm lucky, I'll use it? However, those who are close to learning complain about me. They see misfortune but not happiness. When they see resentment and do not see virtue, they do not use the skill of knowledge.

Interpretation of the original text

The king of Wei and his favorite minister long Yangjun were fishing in the same boat. After fishing more than ten fish, long Yangjun burst into tears. The king of Wei said, "what's wrong with you? Why don't you tell me? " Long Yangjun replied, "I have nothing to be dissatisfied with." The king of Wei said, "well, why do you cry?" "I cried for the fish I caught," he said The king of Wei said, "what do you mean?" He said, "I started to catch fish, and I was very happy. Later I caught bigger fish, so I just wanted to throw away the fish I caught before. Now with my ugly face, I have a chance to serve the king. My title was long Yangjun. In the imperial court, ministers all came to me. On the way, people gave way to me. There are many beauties in the world. Knowing that I am favored by the king, they will certainly bring up their clothes and run to the king. At that time, if I can't compare with them, I will be the first fish to catch and will be thrown away. Why don't I cry? " The king of Wei said, "Xianqing is wrong! Since you have such a mind, why didn't you tell me earlier? " So he ordered the whole nation to say, "Whoever dares to say that there is a beauty will be punished by the nine ethnic groups."

From this point of view, it is natural for the emperor's favorite people to show their means of flattery, and their way of protecting themselves is also very complete. Now from thousands of miles away, some people want to offer their beauties. Can they be spoiled? If you can get the favor, the monarch may not all listen to those who offer the beauty. The people who were favored by the monarch complained about the man who offered the beauty. They only saw misfortune, but not happiness; they only saw resentment, but not favor. This is not a wise way.

It is a popular political trend of thought in the middle and late Warring States period to seek the title of monarch. Zhang Yi once pointed out when he lobbied the king of Wei that "more people work hard to say, but less people believe. This is because he said that if the princes succeed, they can be" monarchs ". Therefore, the lobbies in the world" all day and night, and all eyes are gnashing their teeth to say that they are the masters of people. ". This material vividly describes the extent to which people have been striving for titles, and reflects that not only a few people were seeking titles at that time. According to the chapter of Jingfa guoci, after the destruction of a country, "it is the stomach (called) Tiangong to list (split) the land and seal the sages.". It not only advocates the secession of cleft soil, but also raises it to the height of "heavenly power" in theory. Whoever disobeys this is against the will of heaven. So the monarchs "gave their beautiful land and Marquis granted it" one after another. The king of Wei even granted his concubine longyangjun. His real name is unknown. Since then, Longyang has become a synonym for gay men. Now there are many clubs for gay people, such as Longyang International Club.
