Historical phenomenon reflected in Hou Ma's League Book

The historical phenomena reflected in Hou Ma Meng Shu are as follows:

Houma League is a contract and the product of the struggle for power and profit of various vassal States. Its appearance reflected the situation of "ritual collapse and bad music" in society at that time In order to unify their own jurisdiction, the patriarch must rely on this way to maintain his own people by establishing contracts.

Hou Ma's League Letter is an agreement signed by the minister of Jin State at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. This excavation unearthed more than 5,000 pieces of Hou's calligraphy works. They are written with a soft brush dipped in cinnabar, which plays an important role in the study of calligraphy art in China.

From these words recorded in the book of Hou Ma League, we infer the historical status quo of the society at that time, which is of great historical significance and value to our study of Jin culture today.

Allusions in Houma Tuan's book

When it comes to the State of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, The Orphan of Zhao is the most well-known play, but we have to mention the story of Hou Mashu by Zhao Yang and Dong Anyu, leaders of the State of Jin.

The Spring and Autumn Period is a time of war. As the patriarch of the State of Jin, Zhao Yang has just put down the internal civil strife of the clan, and is faced with the unfavorable situation that Dong Anyu, his right-hand man, has to be abandoned if he wants to form an alliance with the country.

Clans are also constantly putting pressure on Zhao Yang. They think it is cost-effective to give up an Dongan jade and gain the support of a vassal state. Under various pressures, Zhao Yang remembered Dong Anyu's contribution to his great achievements and his loyalty, so Zhao Yang rejected the proposal of serving the country with ambition.

Dong Anyu knew that Zhao Yang had failed to make friends with the country in order to save himself, so he decided to give up his life and give an account to the state of Jin and the people. Dong Anyu sacrificed his life, which enabled Zhao Yang to form a smooth alliance with Chile. Since then,

Zhao Yang made allies, strengthened its own strength and made great efforts to reform the country. Hou Ma's book of alliance is the witness of Zhao Yang's reform and social history at that time.
