Live broadcast of popular science about Emperor’s Mausoleum, ancient emperors were furious

When Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.

On the canopy.

The video continues to play.

[Today when we talk about the Renaissance, the definition of this period is actually very vague. 】

[He is probably dated to the beginning of the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries, when people began to think about some important questions.] 】

[For example, people began to re-study the writings of ancient Greece and Rome, and they began to think about how human knowledge systems should be constructed.] 】

[For example, what is the purpose of human creation?]

[Art, literature, music, drama, what are these creative methods to express?]

[Is it a gift from God or a human emotion?]

[People are also beginning to think about what role we have to play in secular society or realpolitik.]

"The role played?"

"Everything has a role to play. "

"My role is that of the emperor, and the roles of others have their own identities, either as a father or as a son. "

Seeing this, Ying Zheng seemed to have some understanding.

Everyone plays a different role.

The career that is destined to be accomplished is also different.

It's like Yingzheng himself.

"Three, two, seven" He was born to be an emperor!

Even if it is a medium, he can break through the encirclement and difficulties, return to the Qin State, and become the king.

Eventually, the Six Nations were unified.

It is his mission to reunify China.

Ying Zheng always felt that everything in the dark had a number of days.

Whether it is the fate of the empire or its own ups and downs.

[In the Middle Ages in Europe, Christian theology believed that Aristotle's chain of existence could be crowned with the idea of God's creation. 】

[At that time, people began to generally believe that the bottom of this natural system should be rocks, and other lifeless matter. 】

[Above this are plants, and then simple insects and animals. On top of it, it's like a small-sized animal like a mouse. 】

[On top of that are large animals such as cows, horses, sheep, and pigs.] 】

[And above the chain is man, above man is the angel, and the highest nature is God.] 】

This is God's idea of creation. 】

"Boss, what is this God?"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt inexplicable.

He had never heard the word.

Oh, God?

Is it bigger than the emperor?

"Dad, this God should be just like the Buddha, the supreme god of a religion. "

Zhu Biao guessed one or two with his own understanding.

"Oh?"

"It turns out that in addition to Buddhism and Taoism, there is a third religion in this world?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became interested.

I really didn't know before.

After all, he also worked as a monk.

Of course, I know how high the status of the Buddha is in Buddhism.

I didn't expect that there was still a religion in the Western world.

It's really interesting.

[But God's creationism was soon questioned by one man.] 】

[In 1486, in Pico's lecture, he asked, "Why are we humans so special?"]

[Pico says that God gave souls to the celestial bodies and fills the nether realm with various animals, but God says to Adam that you can fall into the form of a lower animal, or ascend to a higher divine essence through the reason of the soul.] 】

[Pico believes that man is a free creature who can know and manage all that exists. 】

[Human dignity comes from the image of human beings, and is not prescribed in nature. 】

According to Pico, even if the worldview of the "chain of existence" is true, human beings are not confined to special boundaries by nature. 】

[The reason why human beings are special from all living beings is that human beings have a unique ability, that is, the ability to choose their own destiny. 】

That's true. "

Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but nod and agreed with this point of view very much.

I want to be at the beginning.

If he hadn't instigated his father Li Yuan to rebel.

Maybe he is just the second son of the Tang State Mansion.

If you're lucky.

After the other princes overthrew the rule of the Sui Dynasty, they attached themselves to the new dynasty, and perhaps became a great general and made great achievements.

But that's not the emperor after all.

Ultimately.

People's destiny is determined by themselves.

When Li Shimin instigated Li Yuan to rebel, his fate was already sealed.

The changes in the Xuanwu Gate in the back are also fateful things.

Regardless of whether there is a change in Xuanwu Gate or not.

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, the two brothers, will fight to the death.

The end result will not change anything.

Li Jiancheng will never be Li Shimin's opponent.

Li Shimin sitting on the dragon chair.

looked at the Tang officials who were prostrate on the ground.

Prove one thing.

Take your destiny into your own hands, and you won't regret it whether you succeed or fail.

[Humans can progress through moral self-discipline, but other creatures cannot.] 】

[For God has given all things the law of their own necessity, and has given man free will, the very purpose of which is to free man from bondage, and to allow him to determine his own position according to his own will and judgment. 】

So Pico says that we should be proud of our ability to choose our destiny as human beings, and use it to the extreme. 】

Human beings have a natural dignity and freedom, and the embodiment of this dignity and freedom lies precisely in the ability of human beings to change infinitely. 】

In the process of infinity, people are constantly free to create new things, so as to realize the meaning of self and lead to infinity, which is also where the absolute dignity and value of human beings lie. 】

[This is Pico's famous "On the Dignity of Man". 】

[So the era of the Renaissance was just a formal breakthrough in art and culture?]

[In fact, this value is not a work of art and literature that is practiced outside, but an affirmation and emphasis on human dignity. 】

[In this era full of ideological innovations, humanism has allowed people to break free from the shackles of traditional authority, think freely, and express opinions freely. 】

[This is the meaning of the Renaissance. (Read the violent novel, go to the Feilu Novel Network!)

"Free to think, free to express opinions?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

"Boss, do you feel like this idea is a little familiar?"

Zhu Biao nodded seriously0 ......

He had already thought of it.

"Hundreds of years later, with the establishment of New China, there was a god-like figure, and this person had already told us that let the people be the masters of the country and let the people be free. "

"I think the idea of this Renaissance should be similar to his thought, right?"

Zhu Biao's answer made Zhu Yuanzhang very satisfied.

This son never disappoints.

"yes. "

"The idea of the Renaissance is the idea of freedom. "

"But freedom is such a luxury in our time. "

Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky, his eyes deep and helpless.

Everything in this era.

are all trapped in their own chains.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception.

Everyone is playing their part.

Whether it is a farmer or an emperor or a general.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, after becoming the emperor, was restrained by an invisible chain.

He can't do whatever he wants. []

You can't just do whatever you want.

Anything he wants to do must go through rounds of discussion in the court, or he himself ponders again and again alone.

It is said that it is easy to be an emperor.

But to be a good emperor, especially to be an emperor through the ages, it is far more difficult than the life of an ordinary person.

Any decision affects millions of people.

In the event of a wrong decision.

At best, the prestige of the emperor is lost.

At worst, it ruined the foundations of the empire.

It can well be imagined.

How much pressure was on Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulders.

Freely.

For him.

Only in the distant past, when the afternoon when the cow was herding, bathed in the warm sunshine, could we truly experience the taste of freedom.

Datang.

"Freedom?"

"It's hard, it's too hard. "

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Who doesn't want freedom?0.1 It's a pity.

Freedom comes at a price.

No one simply enjoys the benefits of freedom without bearing any consequences.

Li Shimin couldn't be clearer about this.

If he had allowed his eldest brother Li Jiancheng to ascend to the throne, he would have fantasized about being a free and easy prince.

I'm afraid that I will no longer be alive, let alone sit on the dragon chair and be the emperor.

Take a step back.

Even if Li Shimin has become the emperor now, it is impossible to live according to his own ideas as he wants.

Not to mention that Datang has thousands of pairs of eyes staring at him.

Even if it's above this court.

There are many people waiting for him to make a mistake, and then start to overwhelm the admonitions.

Isn't Wei Zheng a living example?

This old boy's eyes are like a magnifying glass all day long, and he can't wait for a little mistake made by Li Shimin to make the city full of storms.

made Li Shimin want to kill him several times.

But can it be killed?

No!

For the sake of the Tang Dynasty and his own reputation, Li Shimin cannot dispose of anyone at will.

Did this emperor do it freely?

Of course not..
