Awakening Song

Introduction to "A Long Song to Awaken the World": During the Jin Dynasty and Yuanqi Dynasty, it was grand and magnificent, but the inside was already full of decay. The seven powerful clans held Taizu's iron coupons, hid their fields to avoid taxes, monopolized states and counties, and exploited the people. If the court is whitewashed with peace, a poor family will have no way to get promoted. If the people keep their fields, they will be burdened to death with debts, and if they abandon their fields, they will be homeless. The whole country seems to have clear seas and rivers, but in fact, there is false peace everywhere. Gu Xingjian came from a poor family and became an official despite being ill. He was a low-ranking historian, but he refused to bow his head and obey the lies of the prosperous age. In the Jinluan Palace, he was alone, holding a scroll, and refuted his argument with a piece of paper, which shook the centuries-old family, stirred up the storm in the whole court, and became the most popular for a while. Everyone thought that he became famous in one battle and had a smooth path to power. No one knew that what he pushed away with his own hands was an overwhelming death situation that could kill him. In order to get rid of his serious illness, he asked himself to leave Beijing, abandoning the prosperity of the center and going to the mountains and rivers alone. There are no swords in the countryside, no killings, only the whole state's accounts are closed, the officials jointly guarantee, the top and bottom are complicit, and everyone is cheating. A century-old family has woven a web, trying to fake peace in one place and trap a lonely minister to death. But Gu Xingjian wanted to go against the grain in troubled times: "Officials can falsify, accounts can be falsified, but ordinary people cannot falsify." He used the flesh and blood of his broken body as a blade and a piece of history as a front to falsify accounts, break up official bureaucracies, overthrow powerful families, and record blood and tears. In the rotten system that has been solidified layer by layer, pry open a glimmer of vitality for the country. Some people praise him as the spark of the poor family and the awakening god in the world. Someone slandered him as a calamity to the court
