History

Chapter 18 Chronological Table of the Great Ancestors and Heroes

Tai Shigong said: In the ancients, there were five grades of meritorious service. The ancestral temple was established by virtue to establish the society and the country was called honor, words were called labor, hard work was called merit, clearing it was called cutting, and accumulating days was called reading.The oath of the title said: "Let the river be like a belt, and Mount Tai be as strong. The country is Yongning, and the descendants of the Miao are reached." It is not the first time that we do not want to consolidate its roots, but the branches and leaves are slightly majestic and weak.

I read Gao Zuhou's meritorious officials and inspected their first seals, so those who lost them said: "It's strange what I heard!"The book is called "Concord and Ten Thousand Kingdoms", moved to Xia and Shang, or thousands of years old.Gai Zhou sealed eight hundred, after You Li, seen in the Spring and Autumn Period.In the Shangshu, there is Hou Bo of Tang Yu, who has lived through three generations for more than a thousand years. He has defended the emperor with a fan. Isn't he sincere in benevolence and righteousness, and enshrined in the law?During the rise of the Han Dynasty, there were more than a hundred meritorious officials who received titles.The world was initially determined, so the names of the big cities were all scattered, and the number of households was twelve or three, so the big princes had no more than ten thousand households, and the small ones had five or six hundred households.In the next few generations, the minxian returned to the hometown, and the households benefited from the interest. The genus of Xiao, Cao, Jiang, and Guan may reach [-].The children and grandchildren are arrogant, forget their predecessors, and become promiscuous.In the hundred years to the beginning of Taichu, when I saw Hou Wu, the rest of them all died in the law and perished.It is also less secret, but all of them are not afraid of the forbidden clouds of the world.

Living in the present world, remembering the ancient ways, so self-mirrors may not be all the same.Emperors and kings have different ceremonies and different tasks. How can it be unreasonable to regard success as the rule?Viewing the reason why it is respected and favored and why it is disgraced is also a forest of gains and losses in this world. Why bother with old news?So I would like to show the beginning and the end, and express the text, which is quite inexhaustible; if it is clear, those who doubt it will miss it.Later, there are gentlemen who want to push and list them, so they can see them.
