343. Why should time be used to judge the credibility of historical materials?

Chen Tong's angry roar immediately quieted down the auditorium, and the professors didn't bother to deal with fans like Li Shimin, thinking that it was too cheap.

They felt that it was better to leave it to someone like Chen Tong to do such a thing, so they all sat down angrily.

Everyone's eyes are focused on Chen Tong, and many people in the live broadcast room also want to know, how does Chen Tong explain the industry regulations?

Many people, he doesn't understand why his industry is so regulated?

Because many of the regulations have been passed down for a long time, and have become a kind of thing that cannot be changed, rooted in their hearts, you have to learn this way when you first come, if you ask your predecessors why do you do this?

Those seniors must want to kick you, thinking that you have a lot of trouble!

Zhenguan Weitian and the others didn't believe it, Chen Tong could still explain this, but the next moment, they were dumbfounded.

Chen Tong showed a touch of disdain in his eyes, he knew that Li Shimin's fans would definitely do this, so he prepared it in advance, and opened the next page of the ppt.

Yoyo Dao:

"If you want to say credibility grading, why do you want to rank it in chronological order?"

"Then I'll give you a very vivid example!"

"You should all know that the court decided the case, right?"

"When the court decides a case, when the judge looks for someone to present evidence, does he want to find eyewitnesses?"

"And in the process of historical research, it is similar to a judge's judgment on credibility in judging a case!"

"Of course, it is better for us to find eyewitnesses, because only their words are the most credible. ”

"That's why it appears that in the process of historical research, the first criterion for judging credibility is the time dimension!"

"The closer you get to the period of historical events, the closer this historical material is to eyewitnesses. ”

And the farther away from the historical event, the less his credibility will be, which is equivalent to an eyewitness relaying his words to others, and the news will be misunderstood or omitted in the process of dissemination. ”

"Can you imagine that a story, after being spread by a dozen people, is it still the original story?"

"It may even be the exact opposite of the original story. ”

"That's why the historiography has given such a standard!"

"What would happen to you if you didn't use the time dimension?"

"For example, to study the history of the Tang Dynasty, I will write a random book today, write it in a random way, and then bury it in the ground, and wait until 10,000 years later, our descendants will find out. ”

"He looked at it and shouted, among the cultural relics unearthed in 2021, there are completely different views on the history of the Tang Dynasty, so can we use such historical materials to refute the old and new Tang books?"

"To refute the Tang Dynasty, what about the history books of the Song Dynasty?"

"After all, isn't there a lot of difference? It's only been more than a thousand years. ”

"If something like this happens, do you think it's ridiculous?

After Chen Tong finished speaking, the audience applauded.

Li Shimin's fans were stunned at the time, can this really be explained?

The professors directly gave a thumbs up at the moment, this Chen Tong raised the bar, it was really professional!

After this paragraph, the industry standards are explained very clearly, so that they all feel that they can teach students like this in the future.

Sure enough, it's okay, it's a champion!

The fans of the other phalanxes were elated one by one, and they thought it was really exciting.

"This made me understand how to judge historical materials, is this the same as: the court's judgment on the credibility of eyewitness testimony?"

"Of course, we have to choose eyewitnesses, do you still have to listen to the news after you have passed on dozens of hands?"

"That's right, if you don't abide by the rules of historical research, then I can also write history for the Tang Dynasty now, after I write it, will you use this to refute the history of the Tang Dynasty thousands of years later?"

"Isn't this nonsense? If we don't talk about credibility, then the historical data will be messed up!"

"If you want to question others, you must first understand other people's theoretical systems, and just take out a historical material and slap it in the face, this is simply a hooligan!"

"In the future, if anyone dares to give it to me without mentioning the credibility of historical materials, I will directly despise him!"

At this moment, the discussion in the auditorium was intense, and fans of other policies felt extremely comfortable, and in the future, it would be interesting to see how Li Shimin's fans would casually take out historical materials and shoot people in the face.

This is a layman!

Who is a serious person doing this? You can't explain whether you can trust this historical data?

They finally knew why the professors of history were reluctant to deal with these trolls.

In the live broadcast room, the situation of Chen Tong's one-sided reversal just now was reversed in an instant.

"As for Chong Chentong's vivid answer to the industry standard, I feel that this guy is worthy of being a professional household!"

"It is reasonable and well-founded, and interprets the dry and difficult industry theory into easy-to-understand words, which is what scholars should do. ”

"Support Chen Tong!"

The beautiful host, looking at the barrage in the back row by row, a smile appeared on her face.

Facing this junior brother in my heart, I can't admire it enough, if I meet someone spraying myself in the future, then I can directly summon the junior brother.

At this moment, Li Shimin's phalanx is ugly, and he only feels that his clothes have been stripped naked.

Because the most common thing they do is to take out a bunch of historical materials and shoot them in other people's faces.

Many people used to think that this was nothing, but now after hearing Chen Tong's explanation, they feel that their behavior is simply too naΓ―ve, how did they have the courage to raise the bar with those history professors before?

This is equivalent to showing off your wealth in front of the top rich second generation, and you don't feel embarrassed, but you can't embarrass others.

But Li Shimin's die-hard fans don't think so, Zhenguan Weitian's face is purple, he likes to take historical materials on people's faces, Chen Tong said this, isn't he just slapping him in the face?

He picked up the microphone and roared:

"It's ridiculous!"

"I never thought that you would be so imprecise in your study of history. ”

"How can you be sure? In chronological order, the more original the historical sources, the more credible they are?"

"In case these people are lying, aren't you giving us a fake history?"

"Especially if you write history for the emperor, you will inevitably be affected by the emperor's power, and you may also deliberately use a curved pen to whitewash the emperor because of your own career interests. ”

"Do you think so?"

As soon as Zhenguan Weitian said this, many people nodded again and again, which was also a point they were worried about, because in ancient times, the imperial power was very large, and it was the glory and wealth that could dominate people, and life and death would be taken away.

It is simply commonplace for historians to deliberately distort history for their own interests.

It was Chen Tong who smiled:

"Isn't that what you're talking about Li Shimin?"

In fact, you can also refer to the process of the court's judgment on this question. ”

"You can't guarantee the authenticity of an eyewitness's words, but if you can't be sure that it's fake, the judge will judge the whole case based on the eyewitness's words. ”

"The history we study is to restore the real history step by step, and no one can be sure that what is recorded in the history books must be true. ”

Therefore, what historians have to do is to use all kinds of historical materials to restore the real history as much as possible. ”

"The more credible and complete the historical materials are, the higher the degree of restoration we have. ”

After Chen Tong finished speaking, Zhenguan Weitian smiled directly, and he looked proud:

"When you say that, don't you agree with my words, don't you think it's ridiculous to use this kind of industry standard?"

"Whichever historical material is in front, you will accept that historical material. ”

"What kind of history are you going to study, and you just put things in chronological order, so don't you have to?"

Li Shimin's fans were in a hurry again, and the professors in the back row were really headaches, and these people really had to question everything.

However, this argument of Li Shimin's fans has been recognized by the live broadcast room and the masses.

"Yes, is historical research so lax? Just put the historical materials in order?"

"In that case, what else is there to dispute in history?"

"I suddenly felt that I should study history, and I could be an expert professor!"

The beautiful host, seeing another question in the live broadcast room, turned his head to look at Chen Tong and asked:

"Chen Tong, is the study of history really so unrigorous?"

"What you said is judged by the order of time, such an industry standard, everyone disagrees!"

At this moment, in the auditorium, everyone turned their attention to Chen Tong.

Li Shimin's fans were full of disdain, and the more Chen Tong said, the more they felt that Chen Tong was more and more second, and the more they felt that those experts and professors were not good.

When 'Zhenguan Weitian' and the others thought that Chen Tong was being asked, they saw a look of pride on Chen Tong's face that they couldn't hide, as if they had fallen into Chen Tong's trap.

He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
