Joke Zhou

The Chu army surrounded the Song State and the loyal and righteous opposition, and sent people to the State of Jin for help. Jin was afraid of Chu, so he lied to Song. Hang in there, man. We'll be right there, okay? . Generally speaking, it will arrive soon, either without going out or getting on the horse, so Song waited for eight months.

Eight months' waiting made Song suffer greatly. How bad is it? Simply put, people are starting to eat people. There is no food in the city and the bark is gone. Guanyin soil is not enough. Poor people can only eat each other's children. You ate my house and I ate yours. Therefore, it is an idiom. Is it easy to eat? Invented, the song kingdom was miserable, and the Jin army that arrived soon was still on the road, so the song kingdom had no choice but to surrender. Alliance under the city? This idiom was also invented in this battle.

To put it simply, the fundamental reason why Song became a joke during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was that it was a shame to die and suffer. In the end, it is often that the face falls to the ground and is used as toilet paper, and the lining is all gone, eventually becoming a laughing stock.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was actually similar to the current international community. There are superpowers such as Chu and Jin, first-class powers, countless medium-sized countries such as Zheng, Lu and Song, and even pocket-sized countries.

The relationship between countries is almost the same as it is now, except that there is no question of life and death and national destruction.

The difference between a big country and a small country is nothing more than figuring out the different paths. In today's world, the hegemony of big countries is the same as the survival of small countries. Except for a few big countries, most of them are small countries. How to survive, how to live with dignity, are all learning.

Song is a country that doesn't know how to survive.

Let's look at the origin of Song State first. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Song was a humble country. It turned out to be the aborigines of Shang Dynasty. After the demolition of Shang Dynasty in Zhou Dynasty, in order to appease the adherents of Shang Dynasty, many resettlement houses were given to Song State, and the demolition cost was very high. The first duke who was listed as the fifth male title of Duke Hou Bozi. Not only that, but also exempt their tributes.

Because the location of the resettlement house is good, the demolition cost is high and the treatment is high, which gives An Song the illusion. That's it? I am a guest of the Zhou Dynasty. I am a first-class duke, I am the best, and I have the highest title.

To put it simply: I am nobler than you.

In fact, this spirit of self-entertainment is nothing at first. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, everyone was more disciplined. If anything happens, they will listen to the boss of the Zhou Dynasty, fight and rob together, and you can worry about it with the boss around.

But when the time came to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the international situation changed greatly.

Everyone began to break away from convention and disrespect any title. Look at the Chu State next door. If I were a duke or an earl, I would become a king. What can you do to me?

But Guo Song Road is good, and I can't feel the change of the international situation at all. It's suicide to pretend that I'm a guest, my family has the highest title and I'm nobler than you.
