Were Confucius and Liu Bang both illegitimate children?

Even if it is, it has been depicted by later generations.

Confucius was not born out of wedlock. His mother was only 18 years old when she gave birth to him, and his father was 70 years old, but he was not an illegitimate child! Liu Bang is not either!

Neither. Later generations have nothing to do, thinking blindly, thinking that how can people like Confucius and Liu Bang be so capable, are they illegitimate children? In this way, there are some wild legends.

I know what you mean by asking this question. Isn't that an official name for them in the first place?

First of all. The word illegitimacy. Was there any significance in that era of male superiority and inferiority? At most, it's a question of whether it's a concubine or a concubine.

Comrade Lao Kong, that Zhong. It's not the same thing as Liu Bang's previous one. The old Confucian family is a word. Liu Bang was a pariah at that time, and he didn't deserve a name.

Confucius's father was called Shu Liang Su (Shu Liang is the character, 纥 is the name), and his mother is Yan Zhengzai. Shu Liang Su was a famous warrior in the Lu State at that time, who had established two military exploits and served as a doctor in Shanyi. Uncle Liang Su first married his wife Shi, gave birth to 9 daughters, and had no children.

He also married a concubine and gave birth to a son, named Bernie, also known as Meng Pi. Meng Pi had a problem with his feet, and Shu Liang Su was very dissatisfied, so he married Yan Zheng again. At that time, Shu Liang Su was 66 years old, and Yan Zhengzai was not yet 20 years old.

According to the Records of the Historians, Confucius was not born out of wedlock. His mother was only 18 years old when he gave birth to him, and his father was 70 years old. Gaozu Liu Bang (256 BC, 195 BC), a native of Fengyi, Peijun (now Fengxian County, Jiangsu, southeastern China), was known as Ji.

In November 195 BC, when Liu Bang defeated Wang Yingbu, the last powerful prince with a different surname, passed through Qufu (now Qufu, Shandong), and sacrificed Confucius with Taigao (Taigao, that is, cattle, sheep, and pigs), and named the ninth grandson of Confucius as the hereditary monarch, becoming the first person in Chinese history to worship Confucius, and Confucius's status was officially affirmed.

Liu Bang gradually changed his attitude towards Confucianism, and reused Confucian students with real talent and learning, which is also one of the reasons for his victoryLiu Bang's change in Confucianism's degree is the trend of the times, the strategy of winning the Chu-Han War, the major measure of Anbang's governance, and the great fortune of the Han Dynasty. Cause.

Won the recognition of Confucianism, and all Confucian scholars in the world were attached to him.

changed the image, Liu Bang's image has always been bad, rude, grinning, etc., this worship of Confucius, Liu Bang's grade instantly improved several notches.

The combination of civil and military rule, a country can only have martial arts, but also civil governance, so sacrificing Confucius can convince the world's learned people.

Confucianism is respected alone, and Confucianism becomes a tool to imprison the people in order to achieve the goal of feudal royal power.

The reasons are as follows: 1. Gaining the recognition of Confucianism, all Confucian scholars in the world are attached to him.

2 changed the image, Liu Bang's image has not been good, rude, arrogant, etc., this worship of Confucius, Liu Bang's grade instantly improved several grades.

3 Civil and military governance, a country only martial arts is not enough, but also has civil governance, so the sacrifice of Confucius can convince the learned people in the world.

4. Respect Confucianism alone, and make Confucianism a tool to imprison the people in order to achieve the goal of feudal kingship.

In 195 B.C., Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, passed through the Lu State and sacrificed Confucius in the ether prison, which was the beginning of the world's sacrifice to Confucius. Liu Bang's purpose was to promote Confucianism, to establish an unprecedented Han culture based on benevolence and etiquette. It was Liu Bang who became an emperor from a commoner to the beginning of governing the country.

Confucius was born, and Sima Qian said "wild cooperation" in "Historical Records: The Family of Confucius", and there have always been two different interpretations of Zaibo in later generations. First, it is believed that "Yehe" is a foreign match between Qi and Lu in the field, and according to this statement, Confucius is an illegitimate child. However, Confucianism has always avoided this theory, believing that it is not a "saint" to judge dignity, so it also advocates that "wild cooperation" refers to rudeness and unetiquette.

Sima Zhen's "Historical Records Suoyin" cloud: "This cloud and field are combined, and the cover is said to be Liang Su old and the levy is young, not when the first ceremony of the strong room, so the cloud and the field are together, which is not in line with etiquette." ”

According to Sima Qian's "Historical Records", although Confucius's status has been greatly improved, it is far from the level of superstition, and Sima Qian believes in Huang Lao and has an independent spirit, so all kinds of things that are not "elegant" for Confucius, such as "the son sees Nanzi", "panic like a lost dog" and so on can be recorded truthfully, because.
