In 339 BC, King Xian of Zhou was 30 years old, King Chu Wei was 1 year, and Zhuangzi was 31 years old.
In the twenty-eighth year of King Xuan of Chu, in 342 BC, King Xuan of Chu led an army of 300,000 to the east of Huaibei, wanting to destroy more than a dozen small vassal states between Huaibei and Sishang and expand the territory of Chu.
Just as King Xuan of Chu and the armies of Qi, Yue, and Song were fighting in Huaibei, Wei Ying led 200,000 Qin troops out of Languan.
The soldiers were divided into two routes, all the way east out of Luonan, all the way east out of Shangluo Ancient Road, meeting the troops in Shangzhou and driving away the Chu army in Shangzhou.
Then he waved his army to the east, captured Danfeng and Wuguan guarded by the Chu army, and sent a large army to garrison Shangluo, Danfeng and Wuguan.
The north of the Danjiang River and the west of Wuguan, together with the entire Shangluo Ancient Road, were incorporated into the territory of the Qin State.
The state of Qin betrayed the alliance between Qin and Chu, and King Xuan of Chu was extremely angry, coupled with the recurrence of his old illness, he could not afford to fall ill.
The following year, he became seriously ill and died at the end of the year.
Before he died, he still thought about the land of Shangzhou.
King Xuan of Chu died, and King Wei of Chu ascended the throne.
At the suggestion of his ministers, King Chu Wei prepared to revive the majesty of the Chu State, and after a series of measures were promulgated, he began to recruit talents from all over the world.
While searching for the world's talents, he stumbled upon the god of ships.
After inquiry, he learned that the god of ships might be Zhuangzi, so he became interested in Zhuangzi.
King Chu Wei learned that Zhuangzi was indeed a great talent, and decided to send someone to invite him.
Zhuangzi learned that King Chu Wei was going to invite him to the state of Chu as his minister, so he inquired about this person.
With his current ability, it is not difficult to inquire about this.
Soon after coming to the Chu Palace, he knew about the state of Chu and the king of Chu Wei.
King Chu Wei was an ambitious king with a serious desire to dominate the world.
And now Zhuangzi is a person on the cultural front, and he does not want to swallow up the world by force, let alone see killing.
The war is brutally, needless to say.
No matter who started the war, no matter who got the world through the war, and the process of the war is nothing more than this: the people of this vassal state kill the people of that vassal state.
The final result was: the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty killed each other.
To put it more bluntly: it's all cannibalism between human beings.
Although Taoism also talks about decisiveness in killing, it is decisive in killing those who affect their survival.
But Taoism has a bottom line, and without affecting one's own survival, it is not killed, and survival is the bottom line of Taoism.
Taoists are not outright philanthropists and do not kill.
On the contrary, for other people and things that affect the bottom line of survival, the shots are devastating, and they are absolutely not soft.
In other words, Taoism does not mean that human beings cannot fight war with each other.
Rather, we must fight for survival, not for meaningless wars.
However, wars for supremacy between princes are often not waged against other countries because there is a problem with the survival of the people.
It is a war of reaction between princes and kings for the sake of land, for the vanity of hegemony, and for the king's own personal purposes.
Therefore, for the war between the princes, Zhuangzi and Taoism did not support it.
The suffering of the people and the hardship of the people's survival were caused by the war between the princes and the princes, forcing the people to participate in the war.
However, war will not solve the people's suffering and survival problems, but will only aggravate them.
Therefore, we should not blindly get involved in the war, but see clearly the ultimate purpose of the war.
In fact, it turns out that the purpose of the war between the princes, the king's war, is only the small vassal states to fight for survival, and the wars waged by the large vassal states are not for the survival of the people.
It's for hegemony.
The small vassal states were forced to get involved in the war under pressure from the larger vassal states.
In fact, this war is not entirely a matter of the survival of the people, but more of a matter of the throne of the king.
In order to keep his throne and keep his descendants on the throne forever, and to live a life of luxury forever, the king participated in the war.
There are cases where small vassal states are not living as well as they used to be because they are colonized by vassals, but after all, it is caused by "double taxation".
After being vassalized, the small vassal states had to support their own monarch on the one hand, and the occupying country on the other, and double taxation was caused.
And once the small vassal states are destroyed and there is no king of their own, there is often no double taxation.
For the people, having milk is a mother.
Don't discriminate against them, don't abuse them, give them the right to live, whoever becomes the king, it's the same.

And with discrimination and abuse, there is still a problem of survival, and people will stand up and rebel.
Taoism looks at things from the perspective of survival.
But the other families, as well as the people of the world who have been influenced by the Great Zhou for hundreds of years, do not see it this way.
These people all look at things from a narrow perspective.
It is a shame to think that one's vassal state has perished, to think that one should be loyal to one's own king, to think that this is to think that, to think that it is too much.
Anyway, if you have the same opinion, there will be a reason for the war, and you will naturally get involved in the war.
And the Taoists don't think so.
Taoists believe that: First, we are all the people of the Great Zhou.
Second, we are all human beings You must classify yourself as a subject of a vassal state, and your thinking and realm will be narrow.
Or you divide yourself according to this logic of thinking, and you divide yourself into smaller areas, such as who you are.
Just like a soldier in the army, you divide yourself into who you are in charge and who you command.
That's okay, you're a soldier after all.
But at this stage, only the military thinks that they belong to whom.
And most people's mode of thinking stays on the concept of a vassal state, thinking that they are people from a vassal state, thinking about the country in everything, and having a national and national concept.
As for the soldiers, their thinking and concepts stay on the concept of the army, thinking that I am a soldier and obey the command of the leader.
In fact, thinking is the same narrowly.
Think about it: If this leader is selfish and collaborates with the enemy, if so, you will not all be used as a gun If we divide ourselves according to this logic of thinking, we can divide ourselves into smaller areas.
For example, if we jump out of the circle of soldiers, we are not soldiers, we are peasants or group organizations, or families and families If we look at things according to this mode of thinking, we are limited to the cognitive level of the group, the family, and the family.
However, the thinking mode of the people of the world mostly stays at the narrow cognitive level of vassal states, soldiers, group organizations, families, and families.
He didn't regard himself as a citizen of Da Zhou, let alone look at the problem from a human perspective.
Actually, we are all human The people of the Great Zhou are people, the people of the northern nomads are also people, the barbarians of the south are also people, and the people of those primitive tribes are also people We are all human aa2705221:
