Research On Literature Of The State Of Zheng In <Tsinghua Slips>

Three documents related to the state of Zheng are included in <the Tibetan Warring States bamboo slips(Lu)of Tsinghua University>:<Zheng Wufuren’s rules and regulations on children>,<Zheng Wengong asked Taibo>,< Zichan>(<Tsinghua slips>(Ⅱ)(Department year),and <Tsinghua slips >(Ⅲ)(good officials)also involve the state of Zheng).The sorting and publication of these three brief articles enriches the materials of Zheng’s literature research to a certain extent,and provides new ideas and directions for the study of Zheng’s related problems.Most of the previous research results are the collection and interpretation of one of them,or the thinking and notes of a certain place.Few of them put these three documents together for overall research.Zheng was the last vassal state enfeoffed in the Western Zhou Dynasty.It rose rapidly in the early spring and Autumn period and became a "small bully in the spring and Autumn Period".But then,in the process of the great power struggle between Jin and Chu,it quickly declined and finally collapsed in the early Warring States period.The content of Zheng’s literature in <Tsinghua slips> involves the historical facts and thoughts of Zheng,which is of great significance to textual research on the historical events of Zheng and to explore the reasons for the rapid rise and final decline of Zheng.In addition,Zhengzhou University is located in the former capital of the state of Zheng,so it also has unique conditions in studying the literature of the state of Zheng.This paper introduces the viewpoint of western historical narratology,connects the unearthed documents of the state of Zheng with the handed down documents,and puts forward a core proposition: the historical narrator takes "destiny" as the core theme,takes Shi Bo’s remarks in <Guoyu·zhengyu> as the framework,arranges the documents of the state of Zheng systematically and orderly,and discusses the whole process of the rise and decline of the state of Zheng.The three documents of the state of Zheng in Tsinghua slips correspond to the early,middle and late periods of the state of Zheng respectively,implying a complete context.Its author may have served as the domestic history of Zheng,and Zheng exiled in the state of Chu with his classics after his death.These classics were transcribed in the state of Chu,and finally formed a final version.It is full of the strong thoughts of family and country and the sigh of rise and fall of the remnant of the state of Zheng.This paper collects the results of annotation and interpretation from various schools,and makes new annotations and proofs on three documents.At the same time,combined with the handed down documents,this paper combs and discusses the controversial issues such as "being in the three-year period","Zheng Wu’s public attack on Kuai" and "Taibo identity".After Duke Huan of Zheng followed king you and died in the military rebellion,Duke Wu of Zheng inherited the throne and took the opportunity to annex the state of Kuai and obtain the land of the Central Plains.During the period when the two kings coexisted,they were "in the third year of Wei" because they supported the king and were coerced by Duke Wu of Wei.In <Zheng Wengong asked Taibo>,the uncle is not the son of the Duke of Zheng Xiejia,but the son of the Duke of Zheng Wengong Xiejia.This paper also makes a new interpretation and analysis of the etiquette and literature in the literature of Zheng State in Tsinghua Slips,and probes into the reasons for the rapid rise and decline of Zheng State.I hope it will be beneficial to the literature research of Zheng State.
