The main characters in Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan are:

Zheng Zhuang Gong Gong Shu Duan Jiang.

Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan revealed the truth:

1. From the perspective of Gongshu Duan, a person cannot be unscrupulous or insatiable. Gongshu Duan first built the wall of the divided seal to more than 300 abbots, which became a scourge to the country; Later, he wantonly expanded his territory, and finally attacked the national capital. If you do too much injustice, you will eventually be ruined.

2. From Wu Jiang's point of view, a person can't just rely on personal likes and dislikes. Because Zhuang Gong "Kou Sheng" didn't like him, because he liked Gongshu Duan, he told him to intercede and fight for the land, so that he cooperated with him to attack the national capital.

3. From the perspective of Zheng Zhuanggong, it is necessary to educate the family in time to eliminate hidden dangers in the bud. If Gongshu Duan had intervened when he had just committed misdeeds, his younger brother would not have defected later.

Introduction: "Zheng Boke Duan Yu Yan" is an essay written by the historian Zuo Qiu Ming in the Spring and Autumn Period. This article mainly tells about the life-and-death struggle between the Duke of Zheng Zhuang and his younger brother Gongshu Duan in the first year of Lu Yin (722 BC) for the throne of the monarch.

Zheng Zhuanggong designed and deliberately connived at his younger brother Gongshu Duan and his mother Wu Jiang, and his younger brother was arrogant, so he wanted to seize the throne of the monarch, and Zhuang Gong used this to crusade against Gongshu Duan.

Zhuang Gong complained about his mother's partiality and moved his mother to Yingdi, and later regretted it, and Uncle Yingkao persuaded him, and the mother and son reconciled. The language of the text is vivid and concise, the characters are full, and the plot is rich and tortuous, making it a very literary historical prose.

"Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan" reveals that when family members have misdeeds, they should be educated in time to nip hidden dangers in the bud. People must not be insatiable, unscrupulous, and unjust, which will eventually lead to ruin. A person cannot do things based on personal likes and dislikes alone.

For example, Gongshu Duan became a scourge of the country because of his insatiable greed, and then he did not know how to attack the national capital, which eventually led to his disrepute. Regarding Gongshu Duan's behavior, his brother Zheng Zhuanggong did not educate him, and connived at his younger brother's misdeeds, making his younger brother a scourge to the country.

Background of creation

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Zhou royal family gradually declined, and wars of mutual annexation began between the vassal states, and the struggle for power between the rulers of each country also intensified. In order to compete for the throne, the flesh and blood relatives have become mortal enemies.

In the year of the Yin Gong (772 BC), Zheng Guojun's younger brother Uncle Duan, plotted to seize the throne of his brother Zheng Zhuanggong.
