Seven laws? Yan Di's praise and criticism of merits and demerits

Grow grain to support the people and build cities to help the poor.

Linen lightly covers the ignorant history, and Tongqin plays the voice of civilization.

Strong bows and beasts dominate the world, and pottery dishes hold Yuze's descendants.

Dehua people respect Dai, and Shennong makes Jiujiao Spring.

This poem expounds the important contribution of Emperor Yan to the Chinese nation from the following six aspects:

First of all, making crops and growing grains laid the foundation for agriculture and industry.

Second, establish the market and open the market for the first time. According to Zhouyi? According to quotations, Shennong "takes Japan and China as the city, takes the people of the world, gathers the wealth of the world, and retreats from business, each with its own place".

Third, treat hemp as cloth and people wear clothes. It was not until people in Shennong made linen and silk that people had clothes. They no longer covered themselves with leaves and skins. This is an important step for mankind to move from an ignorant society to a civilized society. Fourth, do banjo to entertain people. According to "Shiben? In the next chapter, Shennong invented a musical instrument. He cut tung trees into pianos and weaved silk into strings. This kind of piano was later called Shennong Qin. Shennong Qin is "three feet, six inches and six minutes long, with five strings of Yue, Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng and Yu". The sound made by this kind of piano can show the virtue of heaven and earth, the harmony of Shennong and entertain people.

Fifth, cut wood into bows and dominate the world. Shennong created bows and arrows, which effectively stopped the attack of wild animals, effectively attacked the invasion of foreign tribes, and defended people's life safety and labor achievements.

Six, making pottery, improving life. The use of pottery has improved the living conditions of human beings and had a far-reaching impact on human food hygiene and medical development.

Emperor Yan is very good at managing tribes and the world. He does not expect his report, nor is he greedy for the wealth of the world, but the wealth of the world. Wisdom is more valuable to people and respected by the world. He serves people with virtue, does not reward diligence, does not punish good and evil, does not complain about wealth, does not restrain obedience, is strong and does not kill, is thrifty and is respected.
