Why didn't Qin Shihuang kill Dong Zhongshu?

They are not from the same era. Qin Shihuang belongs to the Qin Dynasty and Dong Zhongshu belongs to the Han Dynasty. Qin Shihuang died 3 1 year before Dong Zhongshu was born.

Qin Shihuang (259-2 10), the son of Wang Xiang in Qinzhuang, was an outstanding politician, strategist and commander in chief in the history of China.

China unified the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Ying Zheng/Kloc-ascended the throne at the age of 0/3 and proclaimed himself emperor at the age of 39. At the end of the Warring States period, Qin was the most powerful country and had the conditions to unify the six eastern countries. When the King of Qin ascended the throne, the state power was dominated by Prime Minister Lv Buwei. In 238 BC, he personally took charge of state affairs, relieved Lv Buwei of his ministerial position, and appointed Liao Wei, Reese and others. From 230 BC to 22 BC1year, six countries, namely, Korea, Wei, Chu, Yan, Zhao and Qi, perished one after another, and finally the first unified, multi-ethnic and autocratic centralized state in the history of China, the Qin Dynasty, was established.

Wang Zheng of the Qin Dynasty established the honorific title of "Emperor", calling himself the first emperor, and announced that his descendants would be called II and III, and even be inherited from generation to generation. Subsequently, he abolished the enfeoffment system nationwide and replaced it with the county system; Under the direct control of the emperor, a whole set of bureaucracy was established from the central government to the counties. On the basis of the original laws and decrees of Qin, it absorbed some provisions of the laws of the six countries and formulated and promulgated unified laws. The nobles before the Six Kingdoms were moved to Guanzhong and Bashu to prevent their separatist activities. It also explicitly prohibits the collection of weapons by the people, destroys the confiscated weapons, and casts 12 gold men.

Economically, the policy of emphasizing agriculture and restraining commerce was implemented to foster the development of feudal private ownership of land. In the thirty-first year of the first emperor (2 16 BC), landlords and yeomen who occupied land were ordered to declare the amount of land to the government and pay taxes. Their land ownership was recognized and protected by the government, and the national weights and measures system was unified with the weights and measures formulated by Shang Yang as the standard. Unify the national monetary system. In order to develop China's land and water transportation, the "car on the same track" was implemented, and the Chidao from Xianyang to Yanqi and Wu Chu and the straight road from Xianyang to Jiuyuan (now Baotou West, Inner Mongolia) via Yunyang were built. Wuchi Road was built in the southwest, and a canal was dug to connect Xiangjiang River and Lijiang River.

In terms of cultural thought, based on the popular characters of Qin State, Biography was formulated and promulgated throughout the country. And using the theory that the five virtues of Yin and Yang in the Warring States period began at the end, Qin gained water virtue, the water color was black, and the final number was six. Therefore, it is stipulated that clothes, banners and flags are still black, and there are six kinds of symbols, crowns and riding systems. Water dominates yin, which represents punishment and killing, so the implementation of criminal law is aggravated on this basis. In the thirty-fourth year of the first emperor, he ordered the destruction of poems, books and hundreds of languages collected by the people, and banned private learning. Later, more than 400 Confucian scholars and alchemists participated in the escape of Hou Sheng, Lu Sheng and other immortals, all of whom were killed in Xianyang.

After Qin Shihuang ascended the throne, he sent Meng Tian to crusade against the Huns, and linked the Great Wall in the northern part of Qin, Zhao and Yan during the Warring States Period, and built the Great Wall of Wan Li from Lintao (now Minxian County, Gansu Province) in the west to Liaodong in the east. After conquering Baiyue area, Guilin, Xiang Jun and Nanhai were established. At the end of the first emperor, the number of Qin counties increased from 36 counties at the beginning of unification to more than 40 counties, with the territory of "East to the Haichao, West to Lintao and Zhong Qiang, South to Beihu, North to the River, and Yinshan to Liaodong".

After the unification of the six countries, Qin Shihuang built the luxurious Epang Palace and the tomb of Mount Li, made five large-scale cruises and carved stones in famous mountain resorts to show off his prestige. In order to live forever, he sent alchemist Xu (that is, Xu Fu) to lead thousands of boys and girls to the East China Sea to seek immortality. It has consumed huge financial and human resources and deepened people's suffering. In thirty-seven years, Qin Shihuang returned to the plain and died of illness. So he wrote a book and ordered his eldest son Fu Su to be buried and succeeded by him. Going to the sand dunes (now northwest of Guangzong, Hebei Province), Qin Shihuang died of illness. Zhao Gao colluded with Hu Hai and Reese, the youngest sons of the first emperor, forged a testamentary edict, made Hu Hai a prince, and gave Fu Su the death penalty. Shortly after Qin Ershi Hu Hai ascended the throne, a peasant uprising led by Chen Sheng and Guangwu broke out. The Qin Dynasty perished.

The emperor was the supreme ruler of the feudal dynasty in China, the leader of the integration of politics and religion, and possessed supreme power. The word "Emperor" means "both a sage and Huang San, serving the five emperors". It was first determined by Ying Zheng, king of Qin, after the unification of the six countries, and was first used by him, that is, the so-called first emperor.

Dong Zhongshu was a thinker and philosopher who kept pace with the times in the Western Han Dynasty. However, the description of him in history books is very simple. Sima Qian gave him a biography in Historical Records in less than 400 words.

Dong Zhongshu's hometown

Dong Zhongshu's hometown was first recorded in Sima Qian's Historical Records, saying that "Dong Zhongshu is also from Guang Chuan."

Dong Zhongshu lives in Guang Chuan and Guang Chuan County. Does Sima Qian mean Guang Chuan, Guang Chuan or Guang Chuan?

Ban Biao, a historian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, said that Sima Qian meant Guang Chuan County, not Guang Chuan Kingdom. That is, Dong Zhongshu is from Guang Chuan County.

Jiajing's "Zaoqiang County Records" in the Ming Dynasty contains: Han, Zaoqiang spread widely and abandoned clutch, which was originally one of them.

According to the examination, its territory roughly includes one in the southeast, one in the south, one in the west, the middle, east and north, the southwest corner of Jinxing County and the northwest corner of Gucheng County. Guang Chuan in ancient Han Dynasty is today's Zhuang jujube.

Dong Zhongshu's hometown is the old county village in Zaoqiang County today, according to the following:

1, in recent years, the stone lintel of Dong Shi Ancestral Hall in Qing Dynasty and its rubbings were found in Jiuxian Village, marked with the words "Rebuilding Auspiciousness and Ugliness". That is, in the sixth year of Song Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu (A.D. 10 13), the reconstruction means that there used to be "Dong Shi Ancestral Hall" here. The ancestral temple is a family temple where people worship their ancestors.

2, Ming' Jizhou Zhi' contains: There are' four famous temples' in the west of the old county village, commonly known as' Xixiong Temple'. Formerly known as the place where Dong Zi gave lectures. Hejian Kingdom recommended King Liu De to build it. The temple was destroyed in the late Qing dynasty, and the site still exists, protruding from the ground. There is rubble everywhere. The villagers dug up a pottery lampstand here, which read "disciples holding candles" and tirelessly taught people. It was used by Dong Zhongshu in his lectures.

Dong Zhongshu lives in Chang 'an. My hometown, Dongshi, is dying out. Dong Shi Ancestral Hall, his former residence, was destroyed, and later generations built Dongzi Temple on the original site. It was rebuilt in the thirty-sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1608), and it was carved with a stone statue of Dong Zhongshu sitting. A statue (about 2 meters high) was given inside, and it still exists after being destroyed. 1982 is a provincial cultural relics protection unit in Hebei province. 1987, in order to protect the stone statues, Dongzi Temple was rebuilt on the original site. There is also a legend about Dong Zhongshu's stone statue being placed in Houjiu county and village. He said that after the stone statue was carved in Xishan Mountain, it was transported to Dongguzhuang Village for resettlement, but it was transported to Brewmaster Village. "It was too heavy to lift, so I left it." In this regard, old friends disagree. If Dong Zhongshu was born in Dongguzhuang village, how could he abandon the ancestral stones of other villages? Dongjiazhuang village is two or three miles away from the old county, and it has arrived all the way. Can't it be transported nearby? Is it meaningless? !

4. "Shi Shuo Xin Yu" records that Dong Zhongshu has a son named Fu Qi, who was mistakenly regarded as unfilial and driven out of the house to go to Wang Shanyou, a good friend of Dong Zhongshu who is four or five miles away from the old county. After Wang Shanyou died, Dong continued to live in this village. In the Ming Dynasty's Zaoqiang County Records, Wang Shanyou had this person. But there is no life text. Because the sound of "goodness" is the same as "longevity", Houcun was renamed Wang Shou. Later, it evolved into two villages: Qianwangshou and Houwangshou. Now 95% of the two villages are Dong people. In ancient times, Wang Shou lived in Dongshi, surrounded by Sugu and Puzhuang, and gathered in front of the "Dongshi Ancestral Temple" in the old county to worship his ancestors. Still in modern times. Wang Shoucun preserved the genealogy rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty and took Dong Zhongshu as his ancestor.

There have always been objections to the statement that "the three mu of land occupied by Dongjiazhuang Primary School is Dong Zhongshu's hometown". During the Tang and Song Dynasties, all the villages in this area were silted up and buried underground. In the Western Han Dynasty, Dongjiazhuang was also difficult to exist on the ground. The old county village in the Western Han Dynasty was once a county government, but it remained unchanged for 500 years. Up to now, the ground has protruded a lot, and there are rubble everywhere.

It is suspected that the old county village and Dongjiazhuang village were originally a village, which was separated from the old county village. But in what age? No evidence has been found so far.
