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。 反观西方历史，则是充满了血腥。被杀的罗马皇帝有43人，其中不少是不错的皇帝，很多是被日耳曼蛮族所杀。像东罗马皇帝Maurice I，就是一个非常不错的皇帝，结果叛军把他六个儿子当着他的面一个个杀害，然后再将其杀害（注）。 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...】
