The phenomena of revenge thrived during the Spring & Autumn period, and involved numerous related problems. For example, bao 報 and exchange of ethics, conflict between public and private, consolation to the spirit of the dead, the relationship between the monarch and courtiers, and contradictions between loyalty and filial piety. This paper will discuss these issues from several aspects: 1. Comments by historical figures regarding the assassination of monarchs in the Chunqiu 春秋 (Spring & Autumn Annals), and the three commentaries on the Chunqiu 春秋三傳. 2. Expositions of punishments to the tyrant during the Spring & Autumn and Warring States periods. 3. Discussion about the selection between loyalty/filial piety, and monarch/father in the pre-Qin era. 4. Observation of the contradiction and tragedy which encountered the conflict of loyalty and filial piety in actual cases of revenge during the Spring & Autumn and Warring States periods. |
