In the history of Song Dynasty in China, there was an anti-Jin hero who was literate and brave. And your evaluation.

How to evaluate Yue Fei, I think we should stand on the height of national interests and the whole Chinese nation, list the outstanding figures of all ethnic groups who sacrificed for national interests and represented justice as heroes of the country and the Chinese nation, and list the despicable figures of all ethnic groups who harmed their own interests and benefited their enemies as traitors of the country and the Chinese nation. From this perspective, Yue Fei is one of the epic heroes of the whole Chinese nation. To evaluate whether Yue Fei is a national hero, we should make clear three questions. One is whether the heroic spirit represented by Yue Fei conflicts with the ideas of the Chinese nation. The second is to deny whether Yue Fei is conducive to the unity of the Chinese nation. The third is to evaluate the correctness of historical figures through the classification of historical wars such as "national war".

A logic to deny that Yue Fei is a national hero comes from the definition of national hero and the formation period of the Chinese nation. That is, a national hero refers to a hero born in the process of a nation or nation-state resisting foreign aggression or independent liberation. Accordingly, if Yue Fei wants to be a national hero of the whole Chinese nation, he must appear when the Chinese nation resists foreign aggression or is liberated independently. However, Yue Fei was a general in the Song Dynasty, and some people think that the integration of administration, economy and culture, an important symbol of the formation of the Chinese nation, began in the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, Yue Fei is not a hero of the whole Chinese nation.

The mistake of this logic lies in denying the national heroic spirit with a developing national concept as the carrier. The Chinese nation is a national concept formed by the continuous integration of many nationalities in the land where we currently live. Therefore, regardless of the region or the number of ethnic groups, the Chinese nation is a forward-looking and backward-inclusive nation. This development and tolerance of the Chinese nation is manifested in national heroes: affirming the existence of heroes as carriers of national spirit and belief in history. Nations and heroes are entities, which will die with history, while the positive, excellent and just heroic spirit can be passed down through the ages and enjoyed by all ethnic groups. Kangxi rehabilitated Yuan Chonghuan in Qing Dynasty and established a shrine for Shi Kefa. Why? Instead of mutual respect, it is out of the need of rule that we should educate the people to serve the country according to these heroes. Therefore, whether in history or in reality, people's speeches and actions of defending heroes and attacking traitors are essentially defending their spiritual beliefs, which is very important for safeguarding the current national interests. From this perspective, a progressive and outstanding Chinese nation certainly needs the heroic spirit represented by Yue Fei.

Another reason to deny that Yue Fei is a hero of the Chinese nation is based on the needs of reality, which is conducive to the unity of all ethnic groups in China at present. This view is very popular among some people. The main basis is that the national war in the history of our country is a war between domestic nationalities, and it is "brothers robbing their homes." Therefore, it is narrow national heroism to think that Yue Fei is a national hero, and denying Yue Fei, the representative of "fighting at home", is conducive to maintaining the unity of the Chinese nation.

There are three mistakes: one is to replace the cornerstone of safeguarding the unity of the Chinese nation with a historical figure who denies a nation-equality; The other is that Yue Fei is just a hero of the Han people, narrow-minded and harmful to the unity of the whole Chinese nation; The third is to put realistic needs above historical facts. Adhering to ethnic equality is the cornerstone of safeguarding the unity of the Chinese nation and the responsibility of our government. The government should be above the nation, from the Han, Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties to the Qing Empire, which is a multi-ethnic country and adheres to the policy of national harmony. Adhering to national equality should not damage the heroic beliefs of the people of all ethnic groups under its jurisdiction, including the Han people, through government actions, otherwise it will inevitably lead to disputes, which is not conducive to the country and the unity of the Chinese nation. Harming the interests of ethnic minorities is not conducive to the unity of the Chinese nation, and harming the interests of the Han people is even more detrimental to the unity of the Chinese nation. This is a judgment based on history and reality.

Historically, the Central Plains culture, which dominated China culture, was very mature as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Throughout the history of our country, when the ethnic minorities established political power, they still stayed in the slave society, and the Central Plains regime was already a highly developed feudal regime, so the enlightened minority monarchs learned and absorbed the Central Plains culture. In addition, after thousands of years of ethnic separation, frontier policy and ethnic migration, today's Han people are no longer "Qin people" or "Han people" in history, but the result of multi-ethnic consanguinity and cultural integration under the policy of affinity and harmony of feudal regime, which is also the reason why Han people and Han culture are open and inclusive. The dominant position of Han people in quantity and culture is the result of historical evolution, and no one can force it. Moreover, dominance also means more obligations. The Han people made great contributions and sacrifices in the Ming Dynasty's attack on the Japanese pirates, the Qing Dynasty's counterattack against Russia and the War of Resistance Against Japan and Defending the country, and did not flinch because of who held the political power. Therefore, the Han nationality is an open, tolerant and broad-minded nation. It is really slander to define the worship of Yue Fei by Han people as narrow heroism. As mentioned above, Yue Fei represents a positive spirit of justice. Han people's admiration for Yue Fei does not mean accepting Yue Fei's foolish loyalty. Han people's admiration for Genghis Khan does not mean that they agree with his behavior of attacking the city and plundering the land. Deny Yue Fei today, and deny heroes of all ethnic groups like Yue Fei tomorrow. The heroic spirit represented by Yue Fei and others will have nothing to rely on, and the heroic concept of the Chinese nation will also disappear. Then, once the enemy invades and the country and nation are in danger, who will resist the enemy? Who will be a hero? How to maintain national unity? Therefore, dialectically absorbing the valuable points of heroes of all ethnic groups and keeping pace with the times is the spiritual driving force for the Chinese nation to live endlessly and achieve rejuvenation. Therefore, learning from heroes like Yue Fei can only be strengthened, not weakened. If the textbook gives children the view that "Jin people are villains", it is the educational method that needs to be improved, not the fault of history, so we cannot deny our national heroes.

The classification method of "national war" is also puzzling. There are countless wars at all times and in all countries. Before the country appeared, wars were all between tribes (tribes), mostly to get food and women from other tribes. After the emergence of countries, all wars between countries are mostly aimed at occupying each other's manpower and resources. Therefore, wars at all times, whether offensive or defensive, just or unjust, are aimed at safeguarding themselves or expanding their real interests. In the history of our country, all feudal countries are the emperor's self-interest, and the purpose of using the nationalities under their jurisdiction to wage war with other countries is very clear. If these wars are classified as "national wars", then the monarchs of all these countries should be the leaders of "national wars" from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and then to the Song, Liao and Western Xia Dynasties, and their primary representatives should be national interests. So what specific nationalities do these monarchs represent? Where are these people today? Why are most monarchs not national heroes? Why is there propaganda that "leading the land is not the king's land" and "sovereignty is given by God and the people are obedient"? Therefore, I personally think that the classification method of "national war" first reverses the purpose of war and changes the nature of war. Secondly, this classification method is not suitable for defining the concept of national hero. From Yue Fei in China to Joan of Arc in France, the implicit meaning of these heroic concepts is very obvious, that is, they were all national heroes at that time. At this time, "nation" is actually synonymous with the word country and a regional concept. They are not exclusive to a certain nation, but respected by all ethnic groups in the country at that time. Because of the inheritance of the country and the change of dynasty, we can only think about heroes from the height of the country, rather than completely denying them because of which nationality they belong to.

History is a mirror. If we tamper with history with utilitarian eyes, such a mirror is a mirror. History is the past of a country and a nation, and it is the fact of ancestors' activities. Only by respecting the facts first can we learn the motivation for progress. According to the data, Yue Fei was a famous soldier in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is said that his mother tattooed the words "faithfully serve the country" on his back, which became the creed of Yue Fei's life. Yue Fei made several northern expeditions to resist gold and was awarded the banner of "Loyal Yue Fei" by Song Gaozong. 1 142, Yue Fei was poisoned by Qin Gui on the charge of "unwarranted" and became a victim of the appeasement policy in the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, Yue Fei was first appointed as the anti-Jin general to serve the country. Judging from Yue Fei's purpose and the biggest beneficiary of fighting against the Jin State, it was obviously for the national interests of the Southern Song Dynasty. In addition, Yue Fei advocates justice because the corruption of one country's political power cannot be an excuse for another country's aggression, and the fate of a country should be decided by its own people. Yue Fei represents the spirit and integrity of putting personal safety at risk, perseverance and saving the nation from extinction. In this sense, it is not wrong to regard Yue Fei as a hero of the whole Chinese nation.

Therefore, no matter from which angle, it is not advisable to deny Yue Fei, a hero of the Chinese nation. So, how should we treat a historical figure like Yue Fei? The author believes that historical facts should be respected first, and then historical figures should be viewed from the perspective of national interests and whether they represent justice.
