The so-called gift of holding the sheep is actually an insult to people. Is to make people tie a rope around their necks, take off their coats, then put on sheepskin and be led away. This means that this person has completely surrendered to the victors. As the defeated party, you have no dignity, and intelligence becomes the accessory and victim of the victorious country. But for the central plains people who attach great importance to ethics, this is really too much. Even as a modern person, I find it unacceptable.

0 1 The inevitable situation of valuing literature over martial arts in the Northern Song Dynasty was to lose the battle.

The Northern Song Dynasty has always been a dynasty that valued literature over martial arts. Moreover, there were various treacherous court officials in this dynasty who achieved their goals through some means. In fact, they never considered the precarious fate of this country. Even if they are defeated in the future, they will be able to have a place in the new dynasty by virtue of the faces of these villains. Although there are loyal people like Yue Fei, they are still no match for Xu Jin's fighters.

02. After the defeat of the Northern Song Dynasty, kings and concubines were taken away.

The state of Jin was unstoppable and soon leveled the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. Xu Jin's people were not stupid, and they chose to take two kings in the Northern Song Dynasty and many concubines in the harem as prisoners. At this time, the imperial court in the Northern Song Dynasty had no backbone, and was basically in a paralyzed situation, unable to fight back in the face of Xu Jin. At this time, the sense of superiority in the hearts of the rulers of the state of Xu Jin was multiplied, so they were prepared to carry out this so-called sheep-holding ceremony for these people.

03, insult to personality, never worth accepting.

Although this thing is called a sheep-holding ceremony, there is no courtesy at all. In ancient times, we paid attention to Confucianism, and these insulting things caused great anger. In addition to the two kings, some concubines in the harem will also participate as women, which is simply unacceptable. So many people committed suicide after this ceremony, including the Empress of the Northern Song Dynasty. This is an insult to the prisoner's personality, and there is no humanitarian spirit at all.
