For example, what does it mean to be a sage for your majesty , a sage, and a relative?

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the second emperor of Huiqin was taken away by the Jin soldiers, but the Song people loved face, and they kept it secret for the venerable, so they insisted on writing this matter as the second emperor hunting in the north, which means that these two emperors went hunting in the north.

When the historians of various dynasties recorded the history of their own dynasties, they would avoid some unacceptable things that the previous dead emperors had done!

How did Sima Qian die?

When did he die.

Who knows? Sima Qian finally wrote a letter to Ren An.

Then the person disappeared.

Here it is. For His Holiness.

Suing Ren Anshu is to scold Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

also deliberately let Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty see it.

And then obliterated.

There is nothing written in Bangu's Han book.

Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Sima Qian were.

His Holiness. Here it is.

For His Holiness.

This is a kind of respect and etiquette in the ancient Chinese culture, which means that when addressing honored people, we should use formal and respectful titles as much as possible to show respect and politeness.

Among them, "for the Venerable" means that honorific titles should be used for noble and honorable people; "For the sage" means that the person who is talented and virtuous should be used respectfully; "Keeping a name for one's relatives" means that one's relatives should be addressed respectfully and politely, rather than using intimate addresses lightly.

For His Holiness: A type of avoidance in ancient times refers to the fact that the ancients avoided words or numbers that could represent His Holiness when choosing names or speaking.

For the Venerable, for the relatives, for the sage" means to avoid the honorable, for the relatives, for the virtuous.

This phrase comes from "The Legend of the Ram in the Spring and Autumn Period: The First Year of the Min Dynasty", which is the principle and attitude of Confucius when compiling and deleting the "Spring and Autumn Period". This attitude is the embodiment of the Confucian culture of "rites".

The meaning of being a venerable person is to avoid it, which means that the ancients avoided words or numbers that could represent the Venerable when choosing a name or speaking. The original sentence comes from the "Spring and Autumn Ram Biography" of the Ram Gao during the Warring States Period.

Original text: Childe Qing Father also. Gongzi Qing's father is called Qi Zhongsun?

Tie Zhi Qi also. Is it the same as the system? Outside, too.

Chang is outside? "Spring and Autumn" is for the venerable, for the relatives, and for the sage. The woman said:

Taking the Spring and Autumn Period as the "Spring and Autumn Period", Qi has no middle grandson, and its middle grandson is with. ”

Vernacular translation: Since he is Gongzi Qing's father, why does he call him Qi Zhongsun? Because he is regarded as a man of the Qi Kingdom. Why do you see him as a member of the Qi Kingdom?

This is to treat him as someone outside the Lu country. Why do you think of him as someone outside the Lu country? Because the book "Spring and Autumn" is avoided for the honorable, for the relatives, and for the virtuous.

Zi Nu said: "Spring and Autumn is compiled based on ancient historical materials, and there is no such person as a middle grandson in Qi State, probably this person is the middle grandson of Lu State." ”

China's moral tradition emphasizes "being a fool of the Venerable". In fact, it is a kind of interpersonal strategy. The premise of this is that the person who is "secreting for His Holiness" himself understands the content of the "secret", but he knows it in his heart and does not say it.

Everyone tacitly understands that what should be praised is still praised and what should be denied is also denied in their hearts. Such a tradition has the connotation of "respecting the elderly and respecting the virtuous" in Chinese culture, and is the embodiment of the subtle beauty of Chinese culture.

Hide for the Venerable: Avoid some things for the honorable elders. There are some things that are avoided because they involve honorable elders.

In ancient China, it was emphasized that "for the venerable, for the relatives, and for the sage", that is, to avoid names. Sima Qian removed all the words "talk" from his father in the "Historical Records". In ancient times, there were many interesting facts about shunning.

Principles of Confucius.

For the Venerable, for the relatives, for the sage" is the principle and attitude of Confucius in compiling the Spring and Autumn Period.

The so-called shame for the Venerable, at that time, the etiquette collapsed, the royal family declined, the princes often invaded the king of Zhou, the shame of the king of Zhou, shame for no reason, people do not want, so the saint sage. For example, "Spring and Autumn Period: The First Year of Chenggong": In autumn, Wang Shi was defeated in Maorong.

The Legend of the Ram said: Who is defeated? Gai Jin was defeated.

But what does it mean to be defeated? The king is invincible, don't dare to be it. "The Biography of Gu Liang" said:

Don't say anything, don't dare to be an enemy. For the Venerable to hide the enemy and not to be defeated, for the relatives to be defeated and not to be defeated, and to respect the righteousness of relatives. But who loses?

Jin also. "Salt and Iron Treatise: World Affairs" said: The king of the Spring and Autumn Period is invincible, saying that he is benevolent, his virtue and beauty, and the world's guests are served, and he does not dare to accept it.

The meaning is very clear, for the Venerable to show the righteousness of respect, if you do not respect the respect, the order will not come out, and if the order does not come out, the world will be in chaos. However, "Historical Records: Taishi Gongshu" described Dong Zhongshu's words: The Spring and Autumn Period degraded the Son of Heaven, retired the princes, and begged for doctors.

Dong Zhongshu also said in "Spring and Autumn Dew" that the Spring and Autumn Period "ridiculed the king of heaven and caused peace". For example, "Spring and Autumn Period: The Twenty-fourth Year of the Duke of Xu": In winter, the king of heaven lived in Zheng.

The Legend of the Ram said: The king has no exception, what is his words? You can't care about your mother.

Lu Zi said: It's the king, you can't care about the mother, and it's all the same! "The Book of Rites: Qu Lixia" said:

The Son of Heaven does not speak. Zheng Xuan's note said: The words of the Son of Heaven and the names of the princes are all evil.

A gentleman is far away, and he is famous. "The Biography of the Spring and Autumn Period" said that the king of heaven lived in Zheng, and Wei Hou Shuo entered Wei, yes. The meaning is very clear, the king of heaven can't be called out no matter how much he goes, but King Zhou Xiang can't be his mother, so the sage depreciated it with a word.

Confucius once praised Dong Hu and said: Dong Hu, the good history of the ancients, calligraphy is not hidden. It is a way for Confucius to show his attitude, for the venerable to show respect, for the sage to show the virtuous, for the relatives to show the relatives, people are ashamed and do not bear to read the book, this Confucius is loyal.

The Spring and Autumn Period is not a great work of scripture and history, but also a great literary work.

Secreting for the Venerable, for the sage, and for the relatives is not to avoid the name. For example, after Confucius was in his prime, he generally lived in the period of King Jing of Zhou, and King Jing of Zhou was famous, "Spring and Autumn Xianggong Eight Years": the envoy of the Marquis of Jin came to hire.

The father of Confucius is named Su, "Spring and Autumn Xianggong Twenty-three Years": In the winter and October, Zang Sun Su went out to Benyi.
