中国历史上,从周灭商开始,就很少出现什么在王族投降之后,还进行虐杀的。
周灭商之后,周武王封商纣王的庶兄微子启于宋,定都商丘,后来传位与他的弟弟微仲。其后裔改姓孔,孔子就是其中最有名的。
即使是历史上公认的暴君秦始皇灭六国之后,也没有杀害已经投降的六国贵族,而顶多是把六国人士强行迁移到咸阳附近居住。
刘邦攻入秦都咸阳,秦皇子婴请降,刘邦也没有杀害。后来是被项羽所杀。
满清奴役中华近300年,辛亥革命也未将满庭杀灭。
中国历史上被乱军所杀的一国之君,王莽可能是特例,那也是被认为是篡夺汉位。
更近的法国革命,把法国王室与贵族,无论男女老少,几乎杀得干干净净。然后就是普通百姓,只要稍有不同意见就立刻处死。据统计,法国大革命至少有4万人被送上断头台。
俄国革命也基本是把反对派杀得精光。以至现在有一个人自称俄罗斯王室后裔,却找不到任何DNA进行比对---正宗确认的王室成员都被处决了。
更近的德国对犹太人及其他所谓劣等民族的处置就更不用说了。用工业化大生产的科学管理和运作模式屠杀600万人,可谓西方文明的“创举”。
由此可见,中国文明具有对生命固有的尊重。而欧洲蛮族由于其进化程度相对低下,尚处于非常嗜血的阶段。
EDWARD GIBBON在其《DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE》是这样描述这段历史的:
【
The ministers of death were despatched to Chalcedon: they dragged the emperor from his sanctuary; and the five sons of Maurice were successively murdered before the eyes of their agonizing parent. At each stroke, which he felt in his heart, he found strength to rehearse a pious ejaculation: "Thou art just, O Lord! and thy judgments are righteous." And such, in the last moments, was his rigid attachment to truth and justice, that he revealed to the soldiers the pious falsehood of a nurse who presented her own child in the place of a royal infant. (46) The tragic scene was finally closed by the execution of the emperor himself, in the twentieth year of his reign, and the sixty-third of his age. The bodies of the father and his five sons were cast into the sea; their heads were exposed at Constantinople to the insults or pity of the multitude...】
