What Are Grand Rounds?

The round is a Chinese vocabulary, pronounced huí hé, which means to wrap around; Refers to a contest between the two sides. From Tang Qin Li Qunyu's "Su Wushan Temple" poem No. 2: "The temple is closed in the spring mountains, the moonlight is bright, the waves are full of trees." The wind. "Jin Yuan asked one of the poems in" Shanying Temple ":" Pinggang round is full of mulberry, and flowers of both sides are clear on both sides. "

Main forms of war in round

In ancient society, both the East and the West, there was a period in which wars were the main form of war. In China, it was from the Shang Dynasty to the early Western Han Dynasty. Spring and Autumn are especially car warfare, such as "Zuo Zhuanyu Four Years of the Hidden Father ":" Autumn, the princes fell back to Zheng ... The princes' defeat defeated Zheng Tubing. " Daiso. If the car is defeated, it is a major defeat. Another example is "The First Year of Zuo Zhuan Yin Gong": "Life is about two hundred times the number of handsome cars." That is to say only the number of cars, not the number. From the above, we can see that car battles are important.

According to the "Sima Law", there are three people in the car and seventy-two soldiers. Infantry is the "infantry" mentioned earlier. The so-called three armored men are the "shoots" on the left side of the chariot. They use bows and arrows for long-range attacks. The "royal" in the middle is a chariot with four horses. The two in the middle are the clothes. ", Or" ", the royal is the driver; the" car right "on the right is a shield for melee defense and is very prepared.

Among the three men, "Shoot" and "Yu" were all educated by the aristocracy. The six arts of the Zhou Dynasty, "Ritual, Music, Shooting, Royal, Book, and Count," were all courses for the aristocracy; and "Car Right" was the choice. Kong Wu's powerful, loyal and brave warriors served, such as "Zuo Zhuan? Xuan Gong two years": "Autumn July, Jin Hou drank Zhao Dun wine, Fu Jia, will attack it. Its right mention knows it .... The "right of the dead" means "the right of the car", and the "Biography of the Ram" here says: "Zhao Dun's car right mentions the Ming, and the power of the kingdom also." This also explains again Why are tanks important? This is because the "Three Men in Armor" are noble elites and invincible warriors. The soldiers behind the chariot are mainly so-called "nationals."

The positions of the three soldiers are generally fixed, but there are special circumstances when the monarch and the lord will be sitting in the car. At this time, the Lord will be centered, the Emperor will be left, and the right position of the car will not change. Because the master will be on the car, the right side of the car is the warrior among the warriors; and the warrior is driving on one side, which is even more superior in technology. Therefore, in the introduction of the war in "Zuo Zhuan", it is almost necessary to explain the master's ruler and the right of the car, such as "Zuo Zhuan · Gong Gong Three Years": "Three years in the spring, Qu Wowu Gong fell wing, second to the court. Han Wan Yu Rong, Liang Hong is right. "" Zuo Min Min first year ":" Jin Hou became the second army, the general was the general, the eldest son Shen Sheng was the general. Zhao Yu Yurong, Bi Wan is the right. "" The Second Year of Zuo Min Gong: "In winter December, Di Ren cuts Wei. Wei Mu Gong ... Qu Kong Yu Rong, Zi Bo is right, Huang Yi is a precursor, Kong Ying Qi Dian. And Di Ren fights in Yingze." "Boss Master ... Fujitu Yurong, Xianyou is right; Liang Yuzi raises Yuhanyi, Xiandanmu is right. Doctor Yangyu is the captain."

Round car battle begins

At the beginning of the chariot, the chariot drove towards the other side, and the two sides began to engage in battle: first, long-range, the shooter attacked; when the chariot approached, the right side of the car engaged with a spear; Bow and arrow shots. This process becomes "cooperation." Combining means fighting and fighting. For example, in the "Battle of Zong" in "Zuo Zhuan Cheng Gong Two Years", the emperor explained, "Since the beginning of the union, I have left my hands and elbows. Revolver Yin Hong. "Che Youzheng Qiu also said:" Since the beginning of cooperation, Gou danger, the rest will have to push the cart. "Now Japan says war, still use" combat ", the most famous" Yuanping joint battle ", everyone Have heard of it. After the chariots drove away, each had to go around and prepare for a second attack. The process of U-turn of this chariot is "back". Then the two cars approached again and "combined." A "back" must have a "combination". The war continued in this way. Until one party loses, after "combining", they no longer "return" and drive away.

Because the side that ran away ran away after "combining", it did not need to slow down and rushed out of the battlefield directly, so there was a certain speed advantage; while the winning side must decelerate and return to "return" after "combining". Finding the other person's escape, and then speeding up the chase, there is a distance disadvantage and a speed disadvantage, and it is generally difficult to catch up. It is for this reason that in the "Battle of the Wraiths", the situation of "Qi defeated, followed by three weeks without attention". Also for this reason, it is difficult for the ancient car wars to catch the opponent's leader alive. Of course, there are exceptions or occasional situations. For example, in the "Zuo Zhuan? The Three Years of the Gong", Jin Guowu fights with the Yihou, and the Yihou escapes. The result is "Yan Nao Zhi", which means that the emperor is not paying attention while driving and driving. Of the four horses on the edge, the horses were caught by the branches and did not run away and were caught alive. It can also be seen that in the car battle, the Emperor is very important. There is another important reason: the ancient car tracks are unified. "Zuo Zhuan · Yin Gongyuan" said: "The emperor was buried in July, and the same track was completed." Using the same track to represent the world can explain this problem. During the car battle, the chariot must follow the previous rut, otherwise there will be a collision of chariots, or "close" when "back". When running away, there is no need to follow the previous rut marks, so when "Zuo Gong Decade" "Battle of the Qi and Jin Dynasty", Cao Yu "looked down at the rut", according to "see it Disorder ", you can determine that the Qi division was defeated.

After the Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, as the object of the battle changed from the interior of the Central Plains to the northern Xiongnu, the decisive force of the battle also changed from a car war to a riding war. However, the "round" used to illustrate a confrontation in combat has been passed down to this day.
