The red armor that has been passed down from generation to generation has been wiped off, and the cigarettes of the sacrifice are curled; when friends visit, fresh river fish is given as a gift; not long ago, two ronin had caesarean sections in the front yard one after another, and one was full of nonsense, but the bloodstains will soon be washed away. The servants swept clean and new gravel was laid. This is the greatest reverie that the few strokes in the Jingyi family's diary can give people. Obviously, bravery is still praised, and the Jingyi family, who believes in Bushido, is still prosperous.
Few people will go to the depths of the reasons for the two ronin's caesarean. First, their motives are not documented in detail, and second, we have all heard of the samurai's sense of honor and dedication to Bushido. The courtyard was deep, with white cloth and straw mats. The samurai knelt in the middle of the courtyard bare their chests and held their breaths. The other samurai who were allowed to come and watch were sitting upright and witnessing the martyrdom ceremony of a real samurai. At that time, maybe there were still a few cherry blossoms in full bloom, the breeze swept across, and the petals slowly fell on the white gravel ground. Thinking about it like this, it was a bit poignant and magnificent, and the descendants who traced back to the ancient times were intoxicated.
However, the reality is cruel. When it was, it was more than 20 years ago that the Battle of Guanyuan and the opening of Tokugawa had passed. A large number of princes fell, and the warriors under their command were displaced, and the sword-wielding hand needed to pick up embroidery needles to make a living. However, the spirit of Bushido and the dignity of being a samurai are still repeatedly mentioned. The wealthy big family still raises a large number of samurai, and the poor samurai who become ronin will not give up their saber even if they do other careers, so bravery is still praised. , even though most people may not have the chance to draw a sword and risk their lives in their entire lives. On the other hand, the financial constraints of life made the proud samurai see something beyond the reach of the blade - money to support their families. It is very difficult for the destitute warriors to find jobs again, and the lack of life skills makes normal life more difficult than fighting a war. Among these people, the allure and binding force of the Bushido spirit may depend on the degree of hunger. Qian Qianyan In the end, the begging girl was helpless, and had to resort to the "cut belly to ask for money", which was scorned in the past, in order to raise medical expenses for his wife and children, which may be the epitome of countless ronin warriors at that time.
In fact, the behavior of the ronin can be understood. Putting down their swords, they are just ordinary people with needs in life. At most, they are bigger than others, and their hands are faster than others. However, even so, they are full of food and clothing, full of Bushido. In the eyes of the samurai, this is a kind of blasphemy, a manifestation of cowardice and incompetence, and even the blood left behind when dying is an insult to the land. This typical way of thinking of "a full man doesn't know a hungry man is hungry" is actually a collective honor. The legacy of the overflowing feeling, just like France during the Great Revolution, where political parties were constantly changing, social values became slogans, and everyone was immersed in the ecstasy of the old system collapsed. Even though the ideas of the Enlightenment may not be understood by most people, basic human rights The protection of the people is neglected, and rolling over the head is not a ladder to progress. Only those who are obsessed with the sense of honor will ridicule the decline of the values of those groups that are in poverty, or can the collective sense of honor become the purpose of all actions even if they are fed and clothed?
Yujia Lao finally won, because he survived, and he could tamper with facts and publish rumors. What about Qian Qianyan's selfless sacrifice for his family by begging a daughter, and what about Jinyun Hanshiro's bravery and skill in battle, and finally he was named a samurai and belonged to the Bushido system. In history, we will only see two sacrifices. sacrificed corpse, not a great father or a loving grandfather.
How can Qian Qianyan be a coward in seeking a daughter? Every decision he makes has the will of a strong man.
Maybe people who really enter life and enjoy the joy of life can get out of the value trap presupposed by the collective sense of honor.
