This book is about a "good guy" who has been scolded for thousands of years!
Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, fifty-three years, eight surnames and fourteen emperors. Regimes rotate like a revolving lantern, weapons are everywhere, and people are in ruins. In this darkest age, there was a man who served as an official for four dynasties and ten emperors, and always held a high position - his name was Feng Dao, also known as Ke Dao.
The Khitan army broke through Bianliang, and the massacre of the city was imminent. He left the city alone and met the enemy chief: "At this time, the Buddha cannot save the people, but the emperor can save them." In one sentence, thousands of lives were saved.
The world was in chaos and the classics were lost. He presided over the engraving of the Nine Classics, allowing the Confucian culture to continue in the blood and fire.
When Feng Dao passed away, Emperor Shizong of the Zhou Dynasty Chai Rong went out of court for three days to express his condolences. He was posthumously named King Ying and given the posthumous title "Wen Yi".
However, in the era of peace, Ouyang Xiu scolded him as "shameless" and Sima Guang scolded him as "a traitorous minister" because of the doctrine of "loyal ministers do not serve the two masters". The hat of "Erchen" weighed him down for a whole thousand years.
Today, when we break away from the narrow concept of "loyalty to one surname", we can truly understand him - his loyalty is not to a certain emperor, but to the people of the world and the Chinese context.
"But do good deeds and don't ask about the future." The light he held on to in troubled times is so precious today.
Open this book and get to know a soul that has been misunderstood for thousands of years.
Intention: Do good deeds without worrying about the future. Protect the Chinese cultural heritage and protect thousands of people!
