Du (598 ~ 624), a native of Hetan Village, Xianggongzhuang Town, was the leader of the peasant uprising at the end of Sui Dynasty. When I was a teenager, I was generous and dissolute, and I didn't have children. I help the shepherd financially. Be a friend of life and death, Fugong? I stole my aunt's shepherd many times to help him. In the ninth year of Sui Dynasty (6 13), under the influence of Wang Bo Uprising, he and Fugong went to Changbai Mountain to participate in Zuo Jun Uprising. Later, the army was encircled by Sui generals Zhang Xutuo and Lai Huer. Du came to Huainan and called himself a general. He is resourceful, brave and good at fighting. He went out in the front and went in the back. Defeat Song Hao, the general of Sui Dynasty, and merge the insurgents such as Miao and Zhao.

In the 11th year of Great Cause (6 15), another peasant uprising army in Changbai Mountain, Li Zitong Branch Army, also moved to Huainan, joined forces with Du, and became the main force of the uprising army between Jianghuai. Soon, Li Zitong attempted to annex Du and suddenly attacked Du. Du was seriously injured. Sui Jun took the opportunity to attack, and Dube was defeated. Du was lucky to get Wang, the wife of Simon Junyi, a brave and skillful subordinate, and broke through with Du. His confidant Wang Xiong gave birth to more than 65,438+00 brave men who fought to the death. After the breakthrough, Du assembled the rest of his troops and gathered near Liuhe (now Liuhe County, Jiangsu Province). In the 13th year of Daye (6 16), he fought fiercely with Sui Jun in Yancheng (now Yancheng, Jiangsu), annihilated Sun Shangzhe's troops and regained military power. The following year, Yang Di sent Chen Ling, the right imperial general, to take a crusade against soldiers, but Chen Ling did not dare to fight. Du sent a woman's suit to provoke him. Chen Leng did send his troops and hit Du's forehead. Du was furious: "I will never pull this arrow unless I kill you!" " . So he got an arrow in his forehead, entered the army, grabbed the shooter, asked him to pull it out first, and then killed him. He showed his head to everyone in the army, which greatly reduced the morale of the army and broke the famous Sui soldier Chen Ling. After that, he attacked Gaoyou (now gaoyou county, Jiangsu Province), entered Liyang (now Hexian County, Anhui Province), occupied the vast area between Jianghuai and claimed to be the general manager. Du strictly abided by the law and discipline, appointed "scholars", reduced taxes and punished corruption, which made the local atmosphere look brand-new.

Just as the rebel army was growing, Du suddenly changed his mind and surrendered to the imperial court in the 14th year of Daye (6 18). He was appointed as the general manager of Dongnan Road and the king of Chu. In the next year, he served as secretary of Southeast Road Station, appeasement envoy of Huainan and prince of Wu. Du Fu, a good fairy, died suddenly in February (624) in the seventh year of Wude because of eating mica poisoning. When Fu Hong led his troops to lie against the Tang Dynasty, the charges against Du were dropped. In the first year of Zhenguan (627), Emperor Taizong knew his injustice, restored his official position and was reburied, and still made his son Yang Shan a knight.

Zou Yan

Zou Yan (about 305 ~ 240 BC), a native of Qi State, was a philosopher at the end of the Warring States Period and a representative of the school of Yin and Yang. He proposed that "the five elements should use different methods and serve all aspects". That is, on the one hand, it is in the order of "five elements win"; On the other hand, it is in the order of "five elements coming together". Creating the General Theory of Five Virtues The popular "Five Elements Theory" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is attached to social and historical changes and the rise and fall of dynasties, so as to explore the transfer of world movements. What is this called? Auspicious system. " Opening the door of "Moon Order" and "Twelve Dynasties" became one of the theoretical foundations of divination theory in Han Dynasty. In terms of research methods, "the small ones should be promoted, the big ones should be pushed, and as for infinity." Put forward the theory of "Kyushu". Because of his eloquence, people called him "talking about the sky". Although Zou Yan formed his own family among the "Hundred Schools", his "General Theory of Five Elements" originated from the "Five Elements Theory" of Confucianism Kong Qiu and Mencius, and was later reformed by Confucianism to serve his reform.

Zou Yan once lobbied in Linzi, the capital of Qi State, and was appreciated by Qi Xuanwang. He was honored as a doctor with Chunyu Kun, Xun Kuang, Zou Ji and Zou? Together, they are called "Three Walkers of Qi State". He also went to Wei, Zhao, Yan and other countries to lobby for lectures and publicize his political views, which was highly respected and treated with courtesy. When he arrived in Wei, Hui Wang personally greeted him in the suburbs of Guo Dou Liang and kept him as a state guest. When he walked beside Zhao, he sat sideways and was very humble to him; When he arrived in the State of Yan, Zhao Haoqi personally took a broom to clear the way for him, made a ceremony of accepting disciples, worshipped him as a teacher, and specially built a Jieshi Palace for him to give lectures. He often goes there to ask him how to govern the country.

Biography of Mencius and Xun Qing in Historical Records says that he has hundreds of thousands of words, such as the main movement, the end and the beginning, and the Great Sage. 49 pieces of Zou Zi and 56 pieces of Zou Zi's end were lost today. According to Legend of Liu Han, Zou Yan also has a book "Guben Yanshou Fang", which is a book of medical health preservation. This can't help but remind people of Jin Mu's theory that fire, water and soil belong to the heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney and the origin of Yin-Yang and Five Elements. Mr Guo Moruo called Zou Yan a great thinker in Ten Books of Criticism. Needham, an Englishman, said that he was "the real founder of China's ancient scientific thought".
