Searching for the Way in the Qin Dynasty During the War of Confucianism and Taoism

Ling Feng, a modern special forces soldier, accidentally traveled to the troubled times when Qin destroyed Chu. When he escaped from the pile of corpses, because of the "progress" lighter left by his grandfather and the admonition "to have clean military achievements", he gave up the bad habits of soldiers and fled with the young Awu. He relied on modern survival knowledge to protect the refugees and fight against bandits, and he first showed his responsibility in Lijiazhuang. Thanks to Confucius' advice, he first understood the true meaning of Confucian "benevolence" - not weakness and compromise, but protection through change and adaptability. In order to seek ways to protect the people, Ling Feng went to Songhai Xiaoshengxianzhuang to study with Xunzi. Although he was repeatedly criticized by Confucian disciples, he broke the prejudice that "soldiers and ruffians are not worthy of learning Confucianism" with his practical actions of "repairing huts, resolving disputes, and rescuing the sick". He blended modern cognition and Confucian concepts, and in "learning swordsmanship when frustrated, debating classics to clarify principles, and defending the country against the Qin Dynasty", he embarked on a unique path of "a soldier and a Confucian": using lighters as an anchor for homesickness, using his grandfather's teachings as his spiritual background, and taking Confucian benevolence as his code of conduct, he not only held a sword to protect the people in troubled times, but also upheld justice and did not kill indiscriminately. The whole book is based on the theme of "Stubborn Stone - Scrap Iron - To Be Forged - Forged Steel - Sword Tempering - Testing the Edge - Casting the Soul". Through Ling Feng's growth from "instinct survival" to "clear mind and nature", it interprets the core of "ordinary people can also become Taoist", showing a different kind of Confucianism and Taoism: benevolence is not in one's origin, but in actions;
