Those who cross the border, commit adultery, and practice astronomy privately are not included in the list of surrenders. What does this mean?

Crossing the Pass to rape and study astronomy is three crimes

It is useless to surrender for these three crimes

Crossing the Pass is the current smuggling. In ancient times, it was almost tantamount to treason (it is different from treason)

Private study of astronomy was a serious crime in ancient times. You must know that astronomy is connected with destiny. How can ordinary people learn it? What did this mean in ancient times? It was preparation for rebellion. Do you think you can do this?

Private objects, such as astronomical books, prophecies, military books, Qiyao calendar, Taiyi, and Lei formula are not allowed for private use. Violators will be fined for two years. If Chuan is used and the words are not smooth, then he will create the method of "coat words". "Those who study astronomy privately" refer to those who do not have their own books and study astronomy, and they also have to sit as apprentices for two years. Wei, Hou and prophecy, "Five Jing Wei", "Shang Shu Hou", "The Analects of Confucius and Prophecy" are not prohibited. "(Excerpted from "Private Study of Astronomy", Volume 9 of "Tang Lv Shu Yi").

Volume 75 of "Sui Shu" records:

"Ma Guang, named Rong Bo, He is also from Wu'an. He was young and eager to learn. He studied as a teacher for decades, working day and night, reading all the prophecies and prophecies, especially the "Three Rites", which was the sect of Confucian scholars. At the beginning of the founding of the Emperor, Emperor Gaozu recruited scholars from Shandong. Guang, together with Zhang Zhongrang, Kong Long, Dou Shirong, Zhang Heinu, Liu Zuren, etc., came together and were awarded a doctorate from Taixue. At that time, they were known as the Six Confucians. However, they are all despicable and have no moral standards, and the imperial court is not noble. Shirong died of illness. Not long after Zhongrang returned to his hometown, he wrote ten volumes of books. He said that if this book is read, I will become the prime minister. He also talked about mysterious things. The state and county listed him as such, but he was executed. Kong Long, Zhang Heinu and Liu Zuren were also condemned soon after. Only light remains. ”

This record is a case in the Sui Dynasty, which involved four people. Zhang Zhongrang failed in the court, so he resigned and returned to his hometown, openly predicting celestial phenomena among the people, which led to murder. This disaster caused Kong Lung, Zhang Heinu, and Liu Zuren to lose their official positions.
