春秋时期,秦穆公去世,百余人被殉葬,其中包括三位为国捐躯的子车氏兄弟。百姓同情他们的遭遇,心中惴惴不安,纷纷表示愿以身殉葬,表达对忠臣的敬意和对暴政的恐惧。这则故事反映了当时社会对人命的漠视以及百姓对统治者的恐惧。秦穆公的死,不仅带走了三位忠臣的生命,也带走了百姓内心的平静,留下无尽的惴惴不安。

In the Spring and Autumn Period, when Duke Mu of Qin passed away, over a hundred people were buried with him, including three brothers of the Ziche family who had died for their country. The people sympathized with their fate and felt apprehensive and uneasy; many offered to sacrifice themselves, expressing their reverence for the loyal subjects and their fear of tyranny. This story reflects the then-indifference to human life and the people's fear of the rulers. The death of Duke Mu of Qin not only took the lives of three loyal ministers but also the peace of mind of the people, leaving behind endless apprehension and unease.
