First, gongsunzi
GongSunZi, a native of Zheng in the early Spring and Autumn Period, was handsome and had high martial arts skills. It is necessary to explain to you here that in the pre-Qin period, civil and military officials often did not distinguish, civil servants often led troops to fight, and generals were often appointed as prime ministers and other civil servants. At that time, the children of the public often needed to learn "six arts", including martial arts courses such as horseback riding and archery. Therefore, Confucius is actually very martial arts, tall and burly. He is not like Old Master Q in the high school textbooks we read every day. Don't be misled by textbooks. So is GongSunZi. As the son of Zheng Gong, he has been trained in various civil and military courses since he was a child, so Wen Tao's martial arts is not bad. In fact, according to the viewpoint in A Brief History of Mankind in recent years, human development is getting worse and worse. In the era of gathering and hunting, human beings eat the most nutritious food and have the richest survival skills. Until the era of agricultural revolution, human beings were solidified and domesticated by crops such as wheat and rice, and they only needed to learn a skill to exchange with other human beings to obtain living materials, and human abilities showed a trend of degradation.
By the way, do a little knowledge popularization here and insert a little voice-over. In the 3,000-year history, we often hear the names of Xiaobai, Zhong Er, Gongsunzi and Gongsun Yan, sons of Qi Huangong. Actually, this is a story. In the pre-Qin period, the next generation of the clan king was called "son", which means the son of the clan, and the son of the son was called "Gongsun", that is, the grandson of the clan. Later, "Gongsun" evolved into a surname, and "Gongzi" evolved into a general title.
This GongSunZi lived in Zheng Zhuanggong period, and his face value was estimated to be too high, so he was highly valued by Zheng Zhuanggong (in fact, he was the eldest brother who had the overlord prototype in the early Spring and Autumn Period and married his mother). So, students, it's really 360 lines, which is worth fighting for. So how handsome is GongSunZi? "The Book of Songs" says: "The mountains are full of gloom, while the mountains are full of splendor. I can't see my son, but I'm crazy. " In fact, Zizi has been described as synonymous with handsome guys.
At that time, in Zheng's capital, countless girls regarded Gongsun Zi as their dream lover, similar to the feeling of seeing Korea's long-legged Oba after 00. I am proud to see my grandson, so handsome that it makes people angry. Some people waited in the street for days just to see him. Unfortunately, there were no cameras and sketches at that time, but from these records, we can all know how handsome Sun Zi really was.
It is a pity, however, that handsome guys, especially those who have been used to watching the moon since childhood, are also extremely narrow-minded and inferior, and will not tolerate others to surpass them. The fate of GongSunZi is not good. Because Zheng was going to attack, he opened a bureau. Because of the flag war, GongSunZi lost to Uncle Ying Kao, so his beloved chariot certainly lost to Uncle Ying Kao.
By the way, in the early Spring and Autumn Period, chariots were still scarce, especially those with advanced technology imported from Zheng Zhuanggong. For example, it is similar to the customized Rolls Royce. This chariot was imported from Shandong, the most technologically advanced country at that time, and its preciousness can be imagined.
How can a son like Zi, who has never suffered any setbacks since he was a child, accept such humiliation? He thinks the best thing is always his own. So when he attacked the city, he secretly shot an arrow in the back of Uncle Ying Kao, causing his death. "Zuo Zhuan" records: "In autumn and July, the guild Qi Hou and Zheng Bo attacked Xu. Fu and Uncle Ying Kao took the lead in boarding the ship with Zheng's flag and flag. All the children shoot and jump from below. He made a mistake, raised his hair, climbed up the wall, waved the flag and shouted, "We, the king of kings, are on the wall!" "Zheng's army boarded the wall. At noon, I entered Xu and ran to Wei. "
After returning home, Zizi believed that Zheng Zhuanggong would transfer this luxury chariot to himself. As a result, it was transferred to Uncle Won, the number one hero who captured many countries. That's it, that's it. The one who was most angry was someone else's. He drew his sword and committed suicide on the spot.
This is the tragedy of GongSunZi, the first handsome boy in the Spring and Autumn Period. Of course, Yan value can give you extra points, and your mentality is not good, but you still can't escape the tragic ending.
Second, Zou Ji
Zou Ji is the prime minister of Tian Dynasty, born as a civilian violinist, especially good at playing drums.
Qi Weiwang Tian Yinqi, in his early days, liked debauchery and enjoyment, drinking all night and degenerating. As a result, the surrounding vassal States invaded Qi at the same time and occupied many cities, so the country was in danger and did not dare to remonstrate. Finally, Chunyu Kun implicitly said to Qi Weiwang, "There is a big bird in the country. It stayed in the king's yard for three years, neither flying nor singing. Does the king know why this bird is? " Qi Weiwang said: "This bird just doesn't fly and goes straight to the sky;" If you don't sing, you will shock the people. " So he called 72 county magistrates and rewarded one, so he killed one and sent troops out of the city. The governors of various countries were frightened and returned the land occupied by Qi in succession. The prestige of the King of Qi lasted for thirty-six years. "I don't know if this is Qi Weiwang's sudden enlightenment, or something else is hidden in the previous destruction. There are no more records in historical materials. This story is also the source of "blockbuster without singing" and "soaring".
Speaking of Qi Weiwang, I can't help but want to explain the background of that era. Before the times, in the early days of the Tian Dynasty, Qi was relatively in the continuation stage of the late Spring and Autumn Period, and its national strength was not too strong.
Qi Weiwang, in today's words, should be a music lover, especially like to listen to many people's ensembles, so there is the story of Mr. Dong Guo (or Mr. Nan Guo, I can't remember) in our textbook. Unfortunately, Qi Weiwang died later, and his son Qi Xuanwang Tian Biqiang (the man who was inextricably involved with Zhong Wuyan) succeeded to the throne. This big brother just likes to fly solo. It turns out.
Zou Ji, a male musician, also touched Qi Weiwang with his outstanding musical talent and worshipped him. Therefore, Zou Ji persuaded the officials and people to be rewarded, advocated political innovation, "abiding by the law and supervising corrupt officials", and selected talented ministers to stick to the four borders, thus making Qi strong.
According to the chronology, Qi Weiwang's reign should be 36 years, and the last 26 years should be regarded as hard work. Relying on unparalleled geographical advantages, Qi borders the sea in the east and is rich in salt and iron resources. Business is booming all over the country, which is even more sensational than Zhejiang now. It can be said that from the geopolitical point of view, Qi is equivalent to having no worries and can develop wholeheartedly to the west. At the same time, relying on the salt and iron tax and excellent trade market and channels, Dingtao was such a commercial center at that time, and its status was comparable to that of Shanghai and Shenzhen, otherwise Fan Li would not go there to do business. Similarly, Qi has a fine tradition of "respecting the virtuous and valuing the meritorious", so it attaches great importance to Zou Ji, a civilian, Tian Ji, a general and Sun Bin, a strategist. In the later period, the two battles of Guiling and Maling were won, and changes took place. Qi rose and Wei perished. From then on, Qi and Qin became two great powers in the East and the West, and confronted each other for nearly a hundred years until Qi was destroyed.
Having said that, Zou Ji's handsome, where is it recorded? In the chapter "Zou Ji satirizes Qi Wang" in the Warring States Policy, it is recorded that "Zou Ji is more than eight feet long and has a beautiful appearance." Therefore, the male god needs a civilian background, otherwise it is difficult to have a good attitude of peace and grounding without the experience of grassroots exercise.
Third, Song Yu and King Xiang of Chu
Song Yu and King Xiang of Chu were put together because they were from the same period. Song Yu was a doctor of King Xiang of Chu.
Let's start with Song Yu. We often hear the phrase "Song Yu is prettier than Pan An". Song Yu refers to a doctor in the period of King Xiang of Chu. He is a student of Qu Yuan, so his accomplishments in Ci and Fu are also extraordinary. Qu Yuan conquered Ying Capital, the capital of Chu State, and after King Xiang of Chu fled in a hurry, he was both sad and angry. On the fifth day of May, he gave his unrequited love body to the rolling Miluo River in despair, and later Song Yu became a famous Chu Ci after Qu Yuan.
So where did Song Yu's handsomeness come from? I rummaged through the historical materials, but I didn't find any historical materials that really recorded Song Yu's handsomeness. Perhaps this statement comes from one of Song Yu's own poems, called Lotito's lascivious poems. Disciple is Dr. Chu, Song Yu's colleague. It is estimated that the two men didn't deal with it, and the lothario found a suitable opportunity to sue Song Yu in front of the king of Chu, saying that Song Yu was very lewd. So Song Yu wrote this famous poem "Luo Shen Fu" to fight back. In Fu, he said that the boss's daughter had been spying on him for three years and he was not tempted, indicating that he was not lustful. Later, the wife of the lothario was ugly, but the lothario gave birth to five children with her, saying that the lothario was the real lewd. In his poems, he described the wife of the lothario as not only ugly, but also disgusting. However, if a lothario "enjoys it", it is like a lothario. This allusion is somewhat ridiculous to us modern people. According to our understanding, the disciple's understanding of modern people should be that he cares about his family and is a good man. Perhaps people have different understandings of the lewdness in the pre-Qin period. Song Yu may refer to the disciple's "hunger for food" or something. It is this poem that fulfills two common sense of the world after us: First, Song Yu is handsome. Second, the "lothario" is a lecherous. I have to plead guilty for someone else's apprentice. I was kind to my ugly wife and was called lewd by Song Yu. Where can I argue? The word "prodigal son" has been criticized for more than two thousand years.
Oh, by the way, there is another thing worth saying about Song Yu, and that is the story of Wushan Goddess. Legend has it that once King Xiang of Chu and Song Yu * * * were boating in Yunmengze (near Yichang in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was a general name of a lake group, but now it has disintegrated due to geological changes, leaving only sporadic small lakes). Song Yu reported to the King of Chu that the former king met the Wushan Goddess here and spent the night. After listening to this, the king of Chu was deeply interested and asked me if I could be lucky enough to make friends with the goddess. So he ordered Song Yu to write Goddess Fu, but it's a pity that Wang Xiang has never been favored by Goddess.
According to the traditional religious myth of Chu at that time, the intercourse between the king of Chu and the goddess can achieve the sustenance effect of political clarity, national rejuvenation and national prosperity. The combination of the king of Chu and the goddess is actually a sacred wedding ceremony. In Gao Tang Mi, Song Yu also mainly shows the image of sex and rain after the transformation of the goddess and the changes it has brought to the world, and expresses that meeting with the goddess has brought peace and prosperity to the country. It's a pity that Wang Xiang never got what he wanted. This is the origin of the allusion of "Wang Xiang is intentional, but the goddess is unintentional". In this story, Song Yu actually alluded to the fact that Wang Xiang was unable to govern the country and the political darkness, and encouraged him to reform his shortcomings and strengthen Chu again. It can be seen that Song Yu is not only a handsome boy, but also a good minister of governing the country.
Speaking of King Xiang of Chu, I have to say that he is actually a handsome boy. And unlike Song Yu, he is so handsome that even men will be tempted. Liu Xiang of the Western Han Dynasty recorded in his book Shuo Yuan that on the day Xiang became king (that is, before King Chu Xiang ascended the throne), he stood by the swimming pool, dressed in jade and holding a jade sword. The doctor held a hammer and the county magistrate held a fork order and shouted, "Who can pass the king then?" . So Zhuang Xin stepped forward and found that the future king was so handsome that he had to step forward and touch other people's hands. King Xiang of Chu was very ashamed and resentful and flatly refused. But Zhuang Xin didn't give up, ran back to wash his hands, and came to ask him to touch his hands again, explaining that he had washed his hands. He showed his intention with the precedent of Song Dynasty, that is, the famous sentence "There are trees on the mountain and branches on the wood, so I don't know." Finally, King Xiang of Chu held out his hand and held it for him.
In fact, this is a famous gay story in history, but it also reflects the handsome of King Xiang of Chu from the side, so handsome that even men are fascinated by it. Unfortunately, there was no camera at that time, and even sketches were not invented. Otherwise, this charming male color is really curious.
So much for the story of the male god. Judging from historical facts, men still need practical level and talent, and it is really difficult to stand in history just by their faces. Whether Zou Ji or Song Yu, Yan value has given you a stepping stone, but there is no actual talent. At that time, it was in the changing Warring States period, and it was also a tragic fate.
