Give and return goodwill

? Kindness and gratitude in Historical Records are reflected in Rangers and Assassins. Assassin's revenge behavior can be divided into four types: transactional revenge, revenge revenge, blood revenge and forced revenge. By analyzing the core of the assassin's revenge behavior, we can see that the assassin's revenge behavior is mostly related to money, reputation, hatred, politics and other factors. The relationship between kindness and gratitude behind him determines that it does not belong to the category of rangers. The difference is that the ranger doesn't ask for anything in return, kindness doesn't take gratitude as a value supplement, and it has the characteristics of free. The essence of assassin's behavior is "killing" and the essence of assassin's behavior is "saving". This is the fundamental difference between the two behaviors.

Under the historical background of "revenge spring and autumn", the assassin's revenge is just, and it is also closely related to the chivalrous atmosphere of this era. Therefore, there is a potential transaction behind the ranger, that is, repaying kindness, which is the value compensation for kindness. It is this potential compensation relationship. There are many negative factors in the ranger's behavior, such as the behavior time at the moment and the quality of the ranger, but there are also many factors such as violent killing. For example, Jing Ke made a deal with others and then assassinated the king of Qin. Or "Biography of Historical Records of Huo Zhi" contains that "his youth was in Luxiang, attacking and burying vertebrae, the robbers were traitors, digging graves and minting coins, and Ren Xia retaliated by making friends and did not avoid the law." Although such people hold high the slogan of Ren Xia, their behavior is bad and they are spurned by the world, which is not shameful. Tai Shigong called such people "the way for residents to enlarge their ears."

Revenge at this time is based on the principle of "being entrusted by others and being loyal to others". Don't be afraid of obstacles, don't hesitate, and even die. At the same time, the assassin committed suicide to save the city or others. Or revenge. As their own responsibility and mission, that is, the goal. They are. Private Jianzhong, who is responsible for the assassination mission, is the most aggressive group, not afraid of life and death, which directly reflects the spirit of honoring promises and keeping promises. However, the transactions between assassins and princes and monarchs extracted from the text mostly make assassins have the characteristics of relying on tools and killing, but they lack independence in personality, although they are integrated. They are not afraid of violence and regard death as their spiritual quality. However, looking closely at their behavior, it varies from person to person, and there are many factors driving them, such as trade retaliation (turning to Zhu) under the rise and fall of the family. Revenge of gratitude under Corporal Lixian (Yan Zhongzi) and blood relatives under the intention of monarch and minister. (between concession and Zhibo). Forced retaliation under national hatred and personal hatred. This is the hatred between Prince Taizi Dan and Ying Zheng, who plays Qin in Jing Ke. The result of interweaving made Jing Ke embark on the road of revenge. This is the result of the double kidnapping of friends' morality and historical reality, knowing that it can't be done. The above four kinds of revenge, no matter what kind of assassins and people, have a relationship of gratitude and resentment, and there are many things behind them. The revenge acts of the filial piety Rongshan and the assassins who hate the country all show the chivalrous spirit of not being afraid of death, not being afraid of life, being suicidal and respecting righteousness, and attaching importance to reputation. They have indomitable character and indomitable fighting spirit.

? The kindness in a ranger has the characteristics of freedom. Rangers are often in do or die. The purpose of life is to save people from danger, not to brag about their execution. "That is, life and death, without being arrogant and ashamed of its virtue." The dramas recorded here, such as Meng and Guo Jie, all have the characteristics of helping the poor without asking for anything in return.

From kindness and gratitude, we can see the fundamental difference behind the behavior of ranger and assassin.
