Pu Li clicked "start" again, and the fans continued watching with him.
Narrator: Duke Zhoulong, a lifelong righteous man, now held considerable power, yet he remained uninhibited. When the young emperor grew up, he immediately surrendered his power and returned to being a subject. This noble character earned him the highest praise from later generations.
Narrator: Duke Long's assistance helped the Zhou Dynasty overcome its extremely unstable early years. In particular, the strengthening of the feudal system further eased national conflicts and expanded the country's territory. This laid a crucial foundation for the Zhou's subsequent development. At the same time, it also quietly sowed the seeds of a huge hidden danger for the Western Zhou Dynasty's demise.
That’s the end of today’s two episodes.
Pu Li smiled and asked everyone, "Are you familiar with the name Zhou Gong?"
[I wanted to say this from the beginning, but everyone likes to refer to "going to sleep" as "going to see Zhou Gong." Is the Zhou Gong here the same person as the Zhou Gong in the anime?]
[Yes, yes, I'm also curious if these two are the same person.]
[Your reminder reminded me of this.]
[I guess it's the same person.]
[I guess it’s the same person.]
[No, no one is curious about what huge hidden danger has been buried. I really want to know.]
[There's no point in discussing this now, let's just talk about the present.]
[Anyway, the story will definitely be told later, so just wait.]
[That's right, that's right. Let Li Zi explain to us what it means to meet the Duke of Zhou.]
…
Seeing that everyone had finished their discussion, Pu Li asked Luo Ze, "Brother Luo, do you know the saying about going to see the Duke of Zhou?"
Luo Ze nodded, "I know this sentence. I guess the Duke of Zhou he went to see is the Duke of Zhou we talked about today."
"Haha! You guys are really smart, you guessed it right." Pu Li smiled and continued, "I won't keep you in suspense. It's the Duke of Zhou we mentioned today.
The anime also mentions that Zhou Gong had a profound influence in later generations. Many celebrities at the time idolized him, sometimes dreaming of him and drawing inspiration from him. If one person mentioned it, people wouldn't think much of it, but when several celebrities did, later generations came to believe that meeting Zhou Gong meant going to sleep. Later, the idea of meeting Zhou Gong gradually became a joke.
[I see. I just learned a new lesson.]
[In the past, people regarded Zhou Gong as an idol, but now they treat him as a joke. It's a bit ironic.]
[What's so ironic about this? As time goes by and people's thinking changes, it will naturally become like this.]
[I don’t think it’s ironic. On the contrary, we all remember him forever because of this sentence.]
[Duke Zhou was indeed a great man, creating rituals and rites that benefited future generations.]
Ji Chang's sons were all very capable. The eldest son was filial, the second son was very capable, and the fourth son was also an all-rounder. He was truly amazing.
[When I mention my eldest son, my heart aches. Ahhh! I suddenly regret listening to Li Zi tell the story of Bo Yikao that day. It was so cruel and tragic.]
[Hey, it's all in the past, how come you still remember it?]
[Of course I remember. You know, that's the man that even Daji is thinking about. He must be handsome and can play the piano. Just thinking about it makes me want to have sex with him.]
[Ugh! I suddenly don't sympathize with you anymore.]
…
Pu Li continued, "In ancient times, there was a saying, 'Practicing the rites of Zhou Gong.' I wonder if you are familiar with this saying."
[Oh my god, I knew this sentence. I wanted to say it before, but I just didn't have the nerve to say it. I didn't expect Li Zi to bring it up himself.]
