History is full of vicissitudes of life, marking the hardships of the nation. When future generations looked at history, Lu Xun saw cannibalism; Bo Yang saw sauce jars; some saw the precipitation of a toxin; others saw a glorious civilization that had been passed down through history for thousands of years, and were filled with honor, disgrace, and joy. However, everything has two sides, and the above statements only see one side of history. It is inevitable to be biased and to overgeneralize. History is actually a process, in which culture gradually precipitates. Five thousand years of civilized history have given us infinitely rich wisdom, which is an inexhaustible treasure for us. We should never engage in any indecent behavior. However, the accumulated historical culture has its essence and its dross, so taking the essence and discarding the dross is the historical materialist attitude we should adopt.

After all, Feng Dao is not just talking. He has used his own practice to prove that he is not only a "theoretical master" of power, but also an "action master" of power.

For many years, the Confucian education system that supports traditional Chinese culture does not advocate unjust reporting in terms of moral values. However, as long as autocratic politics exists, rulers will encourage reporting. Throughout the entire feudal dynasty, from the Qin to the Qing Dynasty, whistleblowers had always run through it, becoming a stain on the history of the imperial system, and the whistleblower was that dirt. This piece of dirt is huge. The number is beyond our imagination. Not only does it interfere with your private life, but it also controls your soul.

It is a unity composed of fifty-six ethnic groups with varying numbers of people; this unity is composed of thousands of surname cells. There are many works on the study of ethnic issues, but there are few discussions and introductions on surnames. Chinese people have always attached great importance to surnames.

This "someone" is the other person's last name. "Don't change your name when you're working, don't change your surname when you're sitting down." This is the dignity of being a human being.

However, the Chinese civilization continues to have the same origin and has gone through thousands of years of ups and downs and has come all the way.

The Chu people had Zhu Rong as their ancestor, and the starting point of their history was originally found in myths and legends. After going through many troubled times, Chu State was able to rise in the south. The people of Chu had the ambition to "reach the sky" and "to be astonishing", and had the courage to "pacify the barbarians" and "belong to the Xia". They finally became one of the five hegemons in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period. However, after achieving such achievements, coups and civil strife caused the Chu State to incur huge foreign troubles when Wu's army entered Ying, and its strength was greatly damaged. During the Warring States Period, the State of Chu used Wu Qi's reforms to break out of its predicament and bring improvement to the country. The State of Chu once reached the pinnacle of strength and prosperity. However, during the era of King Huai, he suffered successive setbacks and his power suddenly declined. After that, the capital of Ying fell, and half of the rivers and mountains were occupied by the Qin people. Although the people of Chu tried to make up for the situation, they could no longer change the trend of "six kings, one in the world". During the uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, "Although Chu has three households, Chu will definitely destroy Qin", which left a long coda to the more than 800 years of Chu history.
