Zhang Weiwei said that democracy in Taiwan Province Province was a joke.

Throughout the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States for hundreds of years, if the vassal state that tells the most jokes is not Zheng, but Song, the matter of regional blackness has emerged since then, which can be called the earliest regional blackness in China.

What is puzzling is that Song State is one of the five founding monarchs of the Zhou Dynasty, and it is the direct successor of Yin Shang culture, while Song Xianggong is one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period (Historical Records). So a man with status, strength, culture and discipline? Four? Why is the country despised by the rulers and become the object of ridicule, sarcasm and satire?

In the satirical fables of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the appearance rate of Song people is quite high, but almost all of them are doing stupid things. Pre-Qin philosophers always liked to discredit Song people. In Liezi, Mencius, Zhuangzi, Han Feizi and other books, there are fables of fools in the Song Dynasty, which gives people the impression that there are some fools and three fools in the Song Dynasty.

Waiting for the rabbit to be killed by a stump, waiting for the rabbit, is a Song people.

It was the Song people who disliked the slow growth of rice seedlings and pulled them up to encourage them.

Song Xiang's benevolence is stupid and stubborn, and he speaks righteousness to the enemy. He is the monarch of the Song State.

There are many similar idioms and allusions that satirize the Song people, such as Song Qi's lack of levy, hiding when attacking (collecting when attacking), Naoko's suspicion of neighbors, people's poverty, carbuncle and hemorrhoids, Cao Shang's making Qin, Song Deaf and Zheng Zhao ignore the medicine of their hands, and only state officials are allowed to set fires, and people are not allowed to light lamps, thus deceiving each other.

In a word, in China idiom allusions, ridiculous Song? The phenomenon is extremely common, which is the most brilliant place in the regional blackness (blacker than Zheng) of the Zhou Dynasty and has become a part of China culture? Ink black? Scenery.

However, Guo Song is a? Four? Why has the country become the object of ridicule? It turns out that this has something to do with the founding of Song State.

When attacking Zhou, his younger brother Wei became the leader. After the war, Zhou Wuwang restored the title of Wei Ziguo, but the territory directly under the Shang Dynasty was handed over to Wu Geng, the son of Zhou Wang. But after Zhou Wuwang's death, Zhou Wuwang's younger brothers Guan Shu and Cai Shu joined forces with Wu Geng to launch a riot. Three prison riots? Or? Wu Geng rebellion? .

After Zhou Gongdan put down the rebellion, Wei Zi took Wu Geng as Yin's successor, served the sacrifices of Yin's ancestors, and established a Song Dynasty country with southeast Henan as the main part. This is the source of the Song Dynasty.

It can be seen that the heroic countries of Ji's sons and daughters were different in Song and Zhou Dynasties. Is it? Yin Shang remnants? . Moreover, around Song State, almost all the powerful people are relatives of Ji.

Therefore, compared with other princes around him, Song State is an outsider and has its own cultural background. Isn't it always like this to make fun of outsiders? Even if we don't talk about human nature, it's not easy to offend people by making jokes about such a country. Making fun of other princes may offend many relatives named Ji.

Song dynasty inherited Shang culture, which was very different from neighboring vassal States in cultural customs.

According to the Book of History, the earliest written prohibition order "Jiugao" in the history of China was promulgated shortly after King Wu cut, so Zhou Li banned alcohol and controlled alcohol, but the Song people were quite addicted to alcohol.

Zhou people believed in the change of destiny, which influenced China for more than three thousand years, while Song people believed in the divination of ghosts and gods, which continued the Shang Dynasty.

Besides, even the way of funeral is different. Zhou people's coffins were parked in the wing, while Song people always put coffins between two pillars in the yard ... In short, although Song people practiced ritual (which must be observed), they practiced Yin customs.

Therefore, compared with the neighboring vassal States, Song State is like a different kind, which will naturally become the object of ridicule and contempt by others.

Interestingly, Confucius was a descendant of Wei, the royal family of Shang Dynasty, but he maintained the rites of Zhou all his life and his attitude was very firm.

Besides, Guo Song and? Barbarians? Chu is different from Qin. The latter two are located in the border, but Song State is in fertile land, which makes people envy and hate. In addition, the Song kingdom is just around the corner, so jokes that laugh at the Song people are one after another.

Of course, at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, at the beginning of the Warring States Period, after the decline of Song's power, there were more and more jokes mocking Song people. In the past, Song still had some strength, and others were afraid of Song people's revenge. Later, after losing their strength, they even mocked the Song people more brazenly.

Coincidentally, there is also a warlord in Henan who is also blacked out by the region (Zheng people buy shoes and pearls, etc. ), but the descendants of Ji, his roots are. Why is he also ridiculed? It's actually quite simple. Zheng's military is not strong, but his national status is better than that of Song. It is super rich and very rich, so the princes are jealous.

Because people often joke, in the end, people in Song He laugh at themselves and get used to it.

What makes people speechless is that this Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? A long tradition? But it was handed down, and then Henan suffered. In fact, apart from some parts of Shaanxi, there is really no province that can be compared with Henan in terms of its long history. Such a one? The original place of mankind? Now it is really wrong to be blacked out by inexplicable areas.
