Liu An's Original Works _ Translation and Appreciation

Liu An (former 179- former 122), the royal family of the Western Han Dynasty, was the king of Huainan. Chang Lu, grandson of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang and son of Huainan Wang Li. He was a thinker and writer in the Western Han Dynasty, and Li Sao written by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the earliest work that China praised Qu Yuan and Li Sao. He invited thousands of people to write Lie Hong, also known as Huai Nan Zi. Liu An was the first practitioner in the world who tried to take off in a hot air balloon. He took out the juice from the eggs, burned them to get hot air, and made the eggshells float. At the same time, Liu An is also the founder of China Tofu. Liu An wrote about Lie Hong's main achievements.

Liu An left a valuable spiritual wealth to future generations-Huainanzi, which was called "the first in Chinese" by modern scholar Liang Qichao.

Huainan Zi, also known as Huainan Lie Hong or Lie Hong, was written by Liu An when he was the king of Huainan, and attracted thousands of guests. As the editor-in-chief, Liu An's Huai Nan Zi also embodies his own thoughts.

Huai Nan Zi's inner book 2 1, outer book 33 and middle book 8. Based on Taoist thought, the book covers politics, philosophy, ethics, history, literature, economy, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, agriculture and water conservancy, medical care and health care, and many other fields. It is the most important Taoist doctrine in Han Dynasty. There is only 2 1 book left in Huainanzi.

Huainanzi absorbed the ideological materials of Laozi and Zhuangzi, especially Huang Lao's silk book, and became a theoretical work integrating Huang Lao's theory. It not only put forward unique views on the issues of Tao, heaven and man, form and spirit, but also inherited the essence of Qi theory in the Spring and Autumn Period and the study of Huang Lao in the middle of the Warring States Period. Huainanzi contains rich historical research value and spiritual wisdom.

Hot air balloon lift-off

Liu An was the first practitioner in the world who tried to take off in a hot air balloon. He drained the eggs and burned them with moxa to get hot air, so that the eggshells floated.

The character's life is famous all over the world.

Liu An is the grandson of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang and the son of Huainan Chang. In the eighth year of Emperor Xiaowen (BC 172), it was named Hou Fuling. In the sixteenth year of Emperor Xiaowen (164 BC), he was named King of Huainan.

In the third year of Emperor Xiaojing (BC 154), he sent troops, and Wu rebelled. His envoys contacted Huainan, and Liu An wanted to send troops to respond. Guo Xiang of Huainan said, "If your majesty wants to send troops to echo the king of Wu, I would like to be a general of the whole army." Chu Huaiwang handed over the army to him. After gaining the relieving power, Guo Xiang of Huainan commanded the army to defend the rebels according to the city, disobeyed Liu An's orders and worked for the court. The court also sent Qu Cheng Hou Gujie to lead the army to rescue Huainan: Huainan was thus saved.

Liu An likes reading the drum and playing the piano and fighting for good words, but he doesn't like swimming and hunting. He pays great attention to comforting people and enjoys a good reputation in the world. Thousands of people, including Su Fei, Li Shang, Zuo Wu, Chen You, Baylor, Maozhou, Wu Bei, Jinchang, Dashan and Xiaoshan. Have invited guests to write Lie Hong (later called Huainan Lie Hong, also called Huainan Zi).

At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty loved literature and respected his father Liu An. Every time a letter is given, Sima Xiangru and other scribes are often asked to read the draft before sending it. Liu An's new works when he entered Korea were often hidden by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was ordered to write Biography of Li Sao, and was summoned in the morning and presented during the solar eclipse. He also presented Ode to Virtue and Ode to the Capital of Chang 'an. Every time we meet at a banquet, we talk about politics and praise technology until dusk.

Have different ambitions

In the second year of Jianyuan (BC 139), Liu An went to Beijing to appear before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, it was Qiu Tian's powder. Because he had an old relationship with Liu An, he personally went to the bully to meet him. He said to Liu An, "At present, your Majesty has no prince. Your Majesty is the grandson of Emperor Gao, and everyone knows his benevolence and righteousness. If one day the palace coach dies the emperor, if not you, who will succeed! " Liu An was overjoyed and gave Tian Fen gold, silver and money. Liu An secretly made friends with guests, calmed people's hearts and plotted rebellion.

In the sixth year of Jianyuan (BC 135), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to crusade against Fujian and Vietnam, and Liu An wrote a letter to remonstrate that fighting was harmful and useless, which was praised by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, he is looking for soldiers himself. The appearance of comets this year surprised Liu An. Someone advised Liu Andao: "Wu went to war, and the comet appeared only a few feet long, but the war was still bleeding thousands of miles." Now that the comet has grown to the sky, there should be a big war in the world. " Liu An thought that Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty had no prince. If there is any change in the world, the C family will compete for the throne together, so he strengthened the supervision of weapons and offensive equipment, and accumulated gold and money to bribe chiefs, C families, lobbyists and wizards. You have a glib tongue to advise Liu An. You are just making up some fallacies and flattering Liu An. Liu An was very happy and gave them a lot of money, but his rebellion was even worse.

Liu An has a daughter named Liu Ling. Liu An asked her to spy on the inside story in Chang 'an and make friends with people closely related to Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.

In the third year of Yuan Shuo (BC 126), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave Liu several cases of crutches and allowed him not to appear before the court in Beijing. Liu An and the tea queen gave birth to a son named Liu Qian, who was named King of Huainan, and married the grandson of the Queen Mother, becoming your daughter and a princess. Liu An intended to make a tool for rebellion, fearing that the Crown Princess would reveal the secret to North Korea when she knew it, so she moved her hand with Liu to make him pretend that he didn't love the princess and wouldn't sleep with her for three months. So Liu An pretended to be angry with Liu Qian, locked him up and let him live with the Crown Princess for three months, but Liu Qian never approached her again. When the Crown Princess asked to leave, Liu An apologized to the court and sent her back to her family. The tea queen, Qian and her daughter are favored by Liu An, who specialize in state power, seize the land and houses of the people and arbitrarily arrest innocent people.

A conspiracy to expose

In the fifth year of Yuanshuo (BC 124), Liu Qian learned to use the sword, thinking that his swordsmanship was superb and unparalleled. I heard that the doctor is a good swordsman, so I asked him to have a competition. Ray was allowed again and again, and then Liu made a mistake. Liu Qian was very angry. From then on, he spoke ill of Baylor in front of Liu An. Ray was afraid and expressed his willingness to attack the Huns. In fact, he wants to leave Huainan for Chang 'an. Liu An listened to his son, but he was only an official of Baylor.

In the fifth year of Yuanshuo (BC 124), Lei was secretly sent to Chang 'an to confess to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty handed over his complaint to Ting Wei and Henan County for investigation. Henan County wanted to arrest Liu Qian, but Liu An and Tea Queen wanted to prevent Liu Qian from being tried. They planned to send troops to confront him. They are indecisive and have not decided for more than ten days. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had an imperial edict, he tried Liu Qian in Huainan instead of going to Henan County. At this time, Huainan was very angry that Shouchun Xiancheng listened to Liu Anzhi and did not catch Liu Qian in time. He violated the law and committed the crime of "disrespect". Liu An interceded with Gu Huainan, but Gu Huainan didn't listen. Liu An sent a letter to Huainan, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty handed the matter over to Ting Wei for investigation. Tracing back to Liu An, Liu An sent a detective to the court, and officials demanded that Liu An be arrested and investigated. Liu An is worried that things will come to light and plans to send troops to fight.

Liu Qian suggested not to rush into it. He suggested: "If an imperial envoy comes to arrest my father, my father can ask someone to stand in the yard wearing the clothes of a bodyguard and holding a halberd. If anything happens to my father, I will assassinate him. I will also send someone to stab Captain Huainan, and it is not too late to start a war. " At this time, Emperor Wu refused to approve the minister or the invitation of the minister. Instead, he sent Yin Hong, the deputy commander of the DPRK, to Huainan, asking Huainan Wang to verify the case on the spot. After Liu An heard the news, the envoys came to China and immediately made preparations according to Liu Qian's plan. Imperial lieutenant arrived, and Liu An saw that he was gentle. He only asked himself why he fired Baylor, speculating that he would not be convicted and did not attack. The lieutenant also made an inquiry. The minister in charge of handling the case said: "Liu An, the king of Huainan, prevented Lei from being attacked by the Xiongnu army and undermined the implementation of the imperial edict clearly issued by the Emperor of Heaven. He should be sentenced to death for abandoning the city." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered opposition. The minister or minister asked for the abolition of his throne, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty refused. The minister or minister asked to cut off the fiefs of five counties, and the imperial edict of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cut off two counties.

The court sent a captain to announce the pardon of Liu An's crime and cede land as a punishment. Lieutenant in huainan, Liu An. At first, Liu An heard that the minister in the DPRK or the minister in the DPRK requested to commit suicide, but he didn't know how to get forgiveness and cede territory. He heard that the envoy of the imperial court had left and was afraid of being arrested, so he and Liu Qian prepared to assassinate him as planned. After the lieutenant arrived, he immediately congratulated Liu Qian on his pardon, so Liu Qian did not have an uprising. Afterwards, he lamented to himself, "It's a pity that I was cut off after doing a just thing." However, after Liu moved the capital to cede territory, the plot to rebel intensified. Your emissary came from Chang 'an to create absurd and deceptive heresy. Anyone who claims that Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty has no children and that the world in the Han family is not peaceful will be happy to hear it. If the Han Dynasty was peaceful and Liang Wudi had a son, King Huainan got angry and thought it was nonsense and unreliable.

Wu was admonished.

Liu An and Wu Bei, Zuo Wu, etc. Look at the map day and night and arrange the marching route. Liu An said, "Your Majesty has no prince. Once he dies, officials and ministers will definitely call up King Jiaodong, otherwise the King Changshan and the vassals will compete for the throne. Can I be unprepared? " Besides, I am the grandson of Gao-zu, and I pursue the way of benevolence and righteousness. Your majesty is very kind to me, and I can stand his rule. How can I serve the children in the north after your majesty's eternal life? "

Liu An sat in the East Palace and called Wu Bei to discuss, saying, "General, go to the temple." Wu Bei said unhappily, "Your Majesty has just pardoned the king. How can you say that again? " ! I heard that Wu Zixu admonished the King of Wu, who didn't use his words, so Wu Zixu said,' I want to watch the elk come in and out on the Gusu stage'. Now I will see thorns all over the palace and dew wet my clothes. "

Huai nun Tzu was furious and imprisoned Wu Bei's parents for three months. Then the king of Huainan called Wu and asked, "Will the general promise me?" Wu is answered, "no, I just came to plan for the king. I have heard that people with good hearing can hear movements when they are silent, and people with good eyesight can see the signs before they form, so the wisest and most moral saints are always foolproof. Once upon a time, in order to destroy the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Zhou Wenwang led the Zhou clan eastward, and it took thousands of generations to bring the Zhou Dynasty into the "three generations" after Xia and Shang Dynasties. This is the result of obeying God's will, so people all over the world followed him with one voice. This is a historical fact that can be seen thousands of years ago. As for the Qin Dynasty a hundred years ago and modern Wu Chu, it is enough to explain the truth of national survival. I dare not escape the bad luck of Wu Zixu's murder. I hope the king will not repeat the mistake of the king of Wu not listening to advice. In the past, the Qin Dynasty abandoned the way of saints, entrapped Confucian scholars, burned books, abandoned rites and righteousness, advocated fraud and violence, and forced the people to transport seashore millet to Xihe by virtue of punishment. At that time, men worked hard to farm but didn't have enough to eat, and women were ragged and weaving. Qin Shihuang sent Meng Tian to build the Great Wall, which stretches for thousands of miles from east to west. There are often hundreds of thousands of soldiers who have been guarding the border for many years, and countless people have died. Zombies travel thousands of miles, blood is full of 100 acres, and the people are exhausted. Five out of ten people want to rebel. Qin Shihuang also sent Xu Fu to the East China Sea to visit immortals and exotic things. When Xu Fu came back, he made up a lie and said,' I met the Great God at sea, and he asked,' Are you the messenger of the Western Emperor?' I replied, "Yes." "What are you looking for?" The minister replied, "I hope to get an elixir to prolong my life." Poseidon said, "The gift you got from the king of Qin is very thin. Fairy medicine can be seen, but not eaten. " Poseidon and his ministers immediately walked to Penglai Mountain in the southeast and saw a palace built by Ganoderma lucidum. An emissary is bronzed, dragon-shaped, and shining brightly. So the minister bowed down and asked, "What gift should I give?" Poseidon said: "Give good boys and girls and all kinds of workers skills, and you can get the fairy medicine." Qin Shihuang was overjoyed and sent 3,000 boys and girls to the East China Sea to supply Poseidon with grain seeds and various craftsmen. On the way, Chuifu discovered a vast Yuan Ye and Huze, so he stayed there to set up his own business and never returned to North Korea. So the people grieved and missed their loved ones, and six out of ten families wanted to rebel. Qin Shihuang also sent Zhao Tuo, commander-in-chief of the South China Sea, across Wuling Mountain to attack Baiyue. Knowing that the Central Plains was tired, Zhao Tuo stayed in South Vietnam to be king, and sent a letter asking the court to collect 30,000 women without husbands to mend clothes for soldiers. Qin Shihuang agreed to give him fifteen thousand people. So people's hearts are scattered like falling apart, and seven out of ten want to rebel. The guest said to Emperor Gao,' It's time.' Emperor Gao said,' Wait and see, a saint rises from the southeast.' In less than a year, Chen Sheng and Guangwu revolted. Since Emperor Gao's uprising in Pei County, Fengyi, countless people around the world have responded to the initiative. This is the so-called opportunity to spy on the air and take advantage of the Qin dynasty's peril to raise things. People expect him, like a drought, for rain, so he can rise from the army and become the son of heaven. His achievements are higher than those of Yu Xia, Shang Tang and Zhou Wenwang, and his kindness is endless for future generations.

Now, the king sees how easy it is for the supreme emperor to win the world, but why can't he see the decline of modern Wu Chu? The King of Wu was given the title of Liu Xian-jiu, and was highly respected, and was allowed not to appear before the court in Beijing as usual. He is in charge of thousands of people in four counties of Fiona Fang. He can smelt copper and coin himself in China, cook seawater and sell salt in the East, and build a big ship with Jiangling wood on the river. A ship can carry dozens of cars in the Central Plains, making the country rich and the people strong. The king of Wu bribed the princes, nobles and ministers of North Korea with pearls, jade, gold and silk, but did not give them to the emperor. During the rebellion, the prince of Wu sent troops to the west. But Wu Jun was conquered in the girder, defeated in the fox father, and Wang Dong fled to Dantu, where he was captured by the Vietnamese and died, making everyone laugh at him. Why can't Wu Chu have so many troops to win? It is really against heaven and ignores the times. Today, the strength of the king is less than one tenth of that of Wu Chu, but the world peace is 10,000 times better than that of Qin Shihuang. I hope the king will listen to his lieutenants. If the king doesn't listen to the minister's advice, he is bound to see great things, but he has let the cat out of the bag first. I was very sad when I heard that I passed by Yin's old capital, so I wrote Song of Mai Xiu to mourn my death because I didn't listen to Prince Bi Gan's advice. Therefore, Mencius said, "Although Zhou Wang was the son of heaven, he died less than a civilian.". This is because Zhou Wang was isolated from the world before he died, instead of being abandoned by people all over the world when he died. Now I feel sad to myself. If the king abandons the dignity of the vassal state, the court will give him a decree and let the king die in the East Palace first. "

As a result, Wu was suppressed by resentment and sad anger, and his eyes were full of tears. He stood up at once, walked down the steps and left.

There are problems within the family

Liu An has an illegitimate child named Liu Buhai, the eldest. Because Liu An didn't like him, he didn't treat him as a son after tea, and Liu Qian didn't treat him as a brother. Liu Buhai's son Liu Jian is arrogant. He often complains that the prince looks down on his father. He is dissatisfied because his father can't be sealed. Yin made friends with foreigners with the intention of knocking down money and replacing it with his father. Liu Qian learned that Liu Jian was arrested and tortured. Liu Jian is more and more resentful. In the sixth year of yuanshuo (BC 123), after he learned of the attempted murder of Han, he sent a friend to write a letter to Emperor Wudi of Han Dynasty, saying that Liu Jian, a talented person, knew the plot of King Huainan. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty handed the matter over to Ting Wei and Henan County. At this time, Shen Qing, the grandson of Emperor Biyang, stepped in. Shen Qing was very dissatisfied with the fact that Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, killed his grandfather, so he told his friendly prime minister, Gong Sunhong, about Huainan.

Henan county magistrate interrogated Liu Jian, who confessed to Liu Qian and his cronies. Liu An was worried about the seriousness of the situation and wanted to send troops to rebel. Wu asked him, "Was the Han Dynasty peaceful?" Wu replied, "The world is at peace." King Huainan was very unhappy and said to Wu Bei, "What makes you say that the world is peaceful?" Wu replied like this: "My private view of state affairs, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, the affection between father and son, the difference between husband and wife, and the order of seniority are all in line with the due reason. Your majesty's administration follows the ancient way of governing the country, and there are many customs and statutes. Businessmen full of goods travel around the world, with roads extending in all directions and trade prevailing. South Vietnam surrendered, Qiang people offered gifts, Dongou moved to Han, the court expanded Yucai and opened up Shuofang County, which made the Huns lose their wings and assistance. Although this is still not as good as the ancient peacetime, it is still considered that the world is stable. "

Liu An was furious and Wu was quickly charged with capital punishment. Liu Qian also said to Wu Bei, "If there is a war east of Lushan Mountain, the imperial court will send General Wei Qing to suppress it. What do you think of ordinary soldiers? " Wu Shuo: "My good friend followed the general to attack the Huns and came back to tell me:' The general is very polite to the scholar-officials and good to the foot soldiers, and everyone is willing to help him. Only when the general rides up and down the mountain can he stand out. "I think his martial arts is so high, and he has repeatedly led troops to fight, and it is difficult to fight. Cao Liang came back from Chang 'an, saying that the general had strict orders, had the courage to resist the enemy, and often took the lead. During the camping break, when there is no well drilling, every soldier has to drink water before drinking. He didn't cross the river until the soldiers had finished crossing it when the army came back from the battlefield. He gave the money and silk given by Empress Dowager Cixi to his officials. Even ancient stars can't compare with him. " Liu An was silent.

Discuss and produce.

Seeing that Liu Jian was called to trial, Liu An wanted to take the lead for fear that the plot of national rebellion was exposed, but Wu thought it was difficult to succeed, so Liu An asked him again: "Do you think the rebellion of Wu Wang and dispatch troops is right or wrong?" Wu said at that time: "I don't think this is right. Wu Wang Fu Gui is very rich, but he did something wrong. He died as an apprentice, his head and feet separated, leaving no survivors. I heard that the prince of Wu regretted it. I hope the king will think twice and don't do something stupid that the king of Wu regrets. "

Liu An said, "A man is willing to die for what he said. Besides, where would the prince of Wu rebel? In one day, more than 40 people broke through the elevation barrier from the Han Dynasty. Today, an order made Lou slow to seize the pass first, and Zhou was captured by Yingchuan County, and soldiers blocked the roads of Tieyuan Pass and Yi Queguan. Chen Ding led the soldiers of Wanjun County to guard Wuguan Pass. Henan county satrap only Luoyang, why worry? But there are also Linjinguan, Hedong County, Shangdang County, Hanoi County and Zhao State in the north. People say,' cut off the high pass, the world is impassable'. What do you think of this? " Wu replied: "I can see the disaster of its failure, but I can't see the good luck of its success." Chu Huaiwang said: "Zhao Xianzhu thinks that he is lucky, and nine times out of ten he will succeed. Why do you think it never rains but it pours? " Wu was said: "Your majesty's favorite courtiers were all detained in the last crime ordered by your majesty, and the rest were helpless."

Liu An said, "Chen Sheng and Guangwu have nowhere to live. They gathered 1000 people and started an uprising in osawa Township. When they shouted rebellion, the whole world echoed. When they reached the water,1200,000 people accompanied them. Although our country today is small, there are hundreds of thousands of people who can fight with weapons. They are by no means a mob forced to guard the border, nor are they people with wooden crossbows and halberds. What makes you say that things are good or bad? "

Wu was said: "In the past, the Qin Dynasty was cruel and heartless, which destroyed the people all over the world. The imperial court requisitioned 10,000 private drivers, built the Epang Palace, collected more than half of the people's income as taxes, and requisitioned the poor to remote frontiers, making it impossible for the father to protect his son's safety and the elder brother to let his younger brother live a comfortable life. Laws are harsh and criminal laws are harsh, and everyone in the world has endured all kinds of hardships. The people looked forward to it, listened to it, shouted to the sky, beat their chests and feet, and resented the emperor, so Chen Sheng shouted rebellion, and the world immediately echoed it. Now your majesty is ruling the world, unifying all directions, loving the country and the people, and being kind to the court. Even if he doesn't speak, his voice travels as fast as thunder; Even if the imperial edict is not promulgated, the rapid popularization of enlightenment seems to have magical power; What's on his mind threatens Wan Li, and everyone agrees with the Lord, just like a shadow following the shape and answering loudly. And general Wei Qing's talent is not comparable to that of Qin generals Zhang Han and Yang Xiong. Therefore, your majesty, I think it is inappropriate for you to compare Chen Sheng and Qin. "

Liu An said, "If it's really like what you said, can't it be lucky?" Wu Shuo: "I have a stupid plan." Liu An said, "What shall we do?" Wu was replied: "Today's princes have no second thoughts about the court, and the people have no resentment against the court." However, Shuofang County has a vast field and abundant aquatic plants, and the immigrants are not enough to enrich and develop that area. My folly is that I can forge letters from the Prime Minister and imperial envoys to your Majesty, asking for the resettlement of heroes, righteous men and prisoners who have been sentenced to more than one crime, and write a letter to pardon prisoners for criminal offences. Anyone whose family property is more than 500,000 yuan will move to Shuofang County with his family and send more soldiers to urge him to arrive on time. Then all the officials of Zong, Shanglinyuan and Shi Jing forged the case-handling documents issued by the emperor himself, and arrested princes and minions. In this way, people's grievances are everywhere, and governors are afraid. Then, let the eloquent lobbyists encourage them to rebel, and maybe if they are lucky, they will get one-tenth success! "

Liu An said: "This plan is feasible. Although your concern is justified, I don't think it is so difficult to achieve this. " So Liu An ordered the official slaves to enter the palace, forged the emperor's seal, the official seal of the Prime Minister, the Imperial Conscription, General, Military History, 2000 Stone, Jingshi, Xiancheng, the prefect of a neighboring county and the official seal of a surname, as well as the official hats worn by court envoys and judges, and planned everything according to Wu Bei's plan. Liu An also sent people to escape from Huainan after pretending to surrender and enter West Chang 'an to work for the general and the Prime Minister. His original intention was that once he sent his troops to rebel, let them immediately assassinate General Wei Qing and then persuade the Prime Minister to submit, which was as easy as uncovering a piece of cloth.

self-destruction

Huai nun Tzu wanted to mobilize China's army, but he was afraid that his ministers would not obey. He and Wu conspired to kill Guo Xiang and Minister Two Thousand Stones first, so they pretended that there was a fire in the palace. When Guo Xiang and Minister Two Thousand Stones arrived, they came to put out the fire and killed them all. The discussion was undecided, and it was planned to send people from the south to wear clothes to catch thieves, holding feather shuttlecocks and shouting "South Vietnamese soldiers enter the customs" to send troops to March. So he sent people to Lujiang County and Huiji County to pretend to chase thieves, and did not immediately send troops. Liu An asked Wu Bei: "When I lead the troops to the Western Expedition, there must be people who agree with me; What if no one responds? Wu Yue said, "We can capture Hengshan country and attack Lujiang County in the south; Can occupy warships to find yang; Can defend the city; Can seize the Jiujiang estuary; Can block the river from entering the lake mouth in the north; You can use a strong bow and crossbow to stop the confederate army from going down the river. Then move eastward to capture Jiangdu State and Huiji County, and make friends with the powerful Yue State in the south, so that you can gallop between the Yangtze River and Huaihe River and delay some time. " Liu An said, "Very well, there is no better plan. If the situation is critical, go to Vietnam. "

Therefore, Ting Wei reported his participation in the confession of Huainan Wang Sun to Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent the court to fly to captain Huainan to arrest the prince. When Tingwei came to Huainan, Liu An learned that he and his plan called Guo Xiang and Minister Erqianshi, and he sent his troops when he was killed. Calling the national phase into the palace, the national phase came; The civil history was able to go out and get away. The lieutenant said, "I am welcoming the envoy sent by your majesty and can't come to see the king."

Liu An thought it was no good to kill Guo Xiang alone, but Wen Shi and his lieutenant refused to come, so they stopped and let Guo Xiang go. He hesitated, unable to make a plan of action. Liu Qian thought that he was guilty of plotting to assassinate the imperial lieutenant, and all the people involved in the plot were dead, so he thought that all the survivors were blocked and cut off. He said to his father, "all the princes who used to rely on have been arrested, and now there is no one to rely on." Sending troops when the time is not ripe, I am afraid it will not succeed. I am willing to go to Tingwei and get caught. "Liu An also wanted to stop and agreed to Liu Qian's request. So Liu Qian choked to death, but failed to die. When the magistrate saw Wu, he told him about his participation in the rebellion of the king of Huainan.

The judges arrested the prince and queen, surrounded the palace, searched and arrested all the guests of Liu An who participated in the rebellion in China, found the tools of rebellion, and then reported them to their superiors. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty handed over the case to a minister or secretary for trial. Thousands of people, including Hou, Shi Qian and local strongmen who conspired with Liu An, were sentenced to death according to the seriousness of their crimes. Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan Mountain, is Liu An's younger brother. He was convicted of the same crime and should be arrested. The official in charge of the case requested the arrest of Liu Ci.

Huai Nan Zi is a master of Liu An's thoughts, so it is necessary to study this book when studying Liu An. Huainan Zi, also known as Huainan Lie Hong or Lie Hong, was written by Liu An when he was the king of Huainan, and attracted thousands of guests. Huai Nan Zi was originally a masterpiece, with 2 internal books1,33 external books and 8 Chinese books. Based on Taoist thought, the book covers all aspects, including politics, philosophy, ethics, history, literature, economy, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography and so on. Unfortunately, however, there are only 2 1 book left in Huainanzi.

Filled with resentment and regret, Liu An, the king of Huainan, hurried to the point of no return, but this learned man left a precious spiritual wealth to future generations-Huainanzi, an epoch-making masterpiece called "the first-class Chinese language" by modern scholar Liang Qichao.

Huainanzi absorbed the ideological materials of Laozi and Zhuangzi, especially Huang Lao's silk book, and became a theoretical work integrating Huang Lao's theory. It not only put forward unique views on the issues of Tao, heaven and man, form and spirit, but also inherited the essence of Qi theory in the Spring and Autumn Period and the study of Huang Lao in the middle of the Warring States Period. Huainanzi, as an influential social encyclopedia in the Western Han Dynasty, contains historical research value and rich spiritual wisdom, which needs to be further explored by our future generations.

In addition, it is very interesting that Luo Qi of Ming Dynasty mentioned the record of tofu making in Liu An before Han Dynasty in his original materials. Li Shizhen in Ming Dynasty also said in Compendium of Materia Medica: "The method of tofu began with Liu An, the king of Huainan in the former Han Dynasty. There is also a statue of Liu An riding in front of Huainan Railway Station Square, and there is a tofu festival every September.

Introduction to Bagong Mountain Bagong Mountain is located on the south bank of Huaihe River, and now it is under the jurisdiction of bagongshan district, Huainan City. It is a famous cultural resort and the main activity place of Liu An, the king of Huainan in Han Dynasty. There were a large number of first-class intellectuals in China at that time, and the profound Huai Nan Zi was born here. It is also the birthplace of green and healthy food-tofu. It is recognized that Liu An and Bagong, the kings of Huainan, are the inventors of tofu.

Liu Anshi is near the frontier fortress, and those who have fine arts, the horse died without cause and returned to Hu. Everyone hung up, and his father said, "Why isn't this a blessing?" After living for several months, his horse returned to Hu. Everyone congratulated him, and his father said, "Why can't this be a disaster?" The family is rich and good, and the son is easy to ride, but he broke his stomach. Everyone hung up, and his father said, "Why isn't this a blessing?" After living for a year, the Hu people entered the fortress, and the Dingzhuang people played with strings. The man near the fort, the deceased was nineteen. This alone is lame.
