Everyone in the Zichuan tidal flats knows that Gongsun Hong is a pig-herding idiot.
In his forties, he lost his official position and lived with pigs every day. He kept a scroll of "Spring and Autumn" in his arms. His neighbors sneered at him, and his bad friends congratulated him and said in public: If you can become an official, I will stand on my head around the city!
Only an old black pig understands him, knocking away taunting passers-by and studying hard with Jiao Shi day and night.
He entered Beijing for the first time at the age of sixty. He angered Emperor Wu by speaking out about the truce, so he returned to the pigsty and lay dormant for ten years in despair;
When he was seventy years old, he went to Chang'an again, and a policy statement astonished the emperor, and he went straight to the Golden Horse Gate!
In the court, the barbarian was looking for trouble everywhere, impeaching him in public and covering him up with a linen quilt just to gain fame;
A group of ministers formed a private alliance to advise him, but he turned around and obeyed the holy will. His words made a huge difference, and actually gained the emperor's trust.
The father-in-law was so powerful that eventually the entire clan was destroyed;
Wei Qing has great military exploits and only cares about the battlefield;
Only Gongsun Hong understood Confucianism and Dharma, had a measured advance and retreat, was not clique-y, and was not greedy for money. He used all his salary to build three halls, opened the Imperial College of the Han Dynasty, and paved the way to an official career for thousands of poor families.
From a swineherd on the tidal flat to the first civilian prime minister in the founding of the People's Republic of China, he died at the age of eighty. Among the thirteen prime ministers of Emperor Wu, he died peacefully.
The world laughs at him for his sleekness and sophistication. Who has seen him spend half his life in the quagmire, but he has the lives of all people in his heart?
An old black pig, a roll of ram's biography, and a pigsty commoner support the centuries-old cultural heritage of the Han Dynasty!
