It wasn't until 5 p.m. that the meeting of the Ministry of Teaching was over.

At this time, the delegation led by Zhou Nannan had already gone to talk to Jaeger-LeCoultre about endorsements, but Li Yiru did not interfere too much in the matter and did not go to the scene. He arrived at Doule on time at 8 p.m. to prepare for tonight's live broadcast.

He and his aunt each carried two large bags in their hands.

Due to the Spring Festival holiday, the whole building looks empty everywhere you go, but the lights are colorful, but there is some New Year's flavor.

"Hello Mr. Li!"

"I'm still bothering you to come to the live broadcast for the New Year, it's too hard for you!"

"Mr. Li, what are you getting, let's help you get it!"

……

Li Yiru said as he walked to the live broadcast room: "Here are some dumplings made by my family, and I don't know how many of our employees are on duty here, if you don't have enough to eat, I'll ask my mother to wrap them for us again." ”

"Wow, thank you, Mr. Li. ”

"Teacher Li, you are so heartwarming!"

"Being able to eat Mr. Li's dumplings is of great significance to me this New Year!"

……

Li Yiru is a very special person, there is a very delicate heart hidden under the funny appearance, some aspects are very cunning, some aspects are very warm, it is difficult to define him.

If Li Yiru is asked to define himself, he may say: I am me, a firework of different colors?

Boxes of dumplings were picked up by the employees, and the atmosphere in the office was very happy.

On duty on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it was still a night shift, everyone was complaining, but at this time they were warmed by boxes of dumplings, and everyone was very happy.

In terms of taking care of the emotions of employees, the leaders of Doule are not as good as Li Yiru, an outsider.

As soon as Li Yiru stepped into the live broadcast room, an employee hurriedly ran in with a rag and wiped the live broadcast table carefully, her mouth was bulging, and she was still chewing dumplings.

Li Yiru took a closer look and found that the table was spotless.

It's only half past eight now, and there is still half an hour before the live broadcast at 9 o'clock, and Li Yiru chatted with the employees and talked about everything.

At this time, many netizens who were about to watch Li Yiru's live broadcast gradually took out their mobile phones.

Live broadcast on the first day of the Lunar New Year, in the entire online live broadcast field this year, Li Yiru is a top performer. Because it was decided to advance the live broadcast, Douyin carried out an overwhelming advertising promotion in one day, not only on the site, but also on the outside site.

When Li Yiru told the leader of Doule yesterday that he would broadcast live in advance, he solemnly said that this live broadcast was of great significance to him.

The word "significant" surprised the leaders of Doule, Li Yiru never commented on his live broadcast, but this time he used the word "significant", and it is likely that there will be more high-quality content?

The leaders paid more attention to this live broadcast than before, and used all the promotion resources on Li Yiru.

After all, facts have proven time and time again that Li Yiru has never disappointed Doule, and every time he brings Doule a huge surprise.

It's a pity that the contract they signed with Li Yiru led to the fact that on the books, Doule couldn't get a penny!

However, the real benefit of Doule is not tens of millions of dollars in this month, but the good reputation and positive image that Li Yiru has established for the platform, which has attracted batches of new traffic for the platform and so on.

The Sinology Channel was established because of Li Yiru, and the positive image of Doule shines, which is more important than anything else.

As for that contract, both parties win-win, there is no loser.

As 9 o'clock approaches, many fans are already getting into action.

Some people are recharging and are ready to use New Year's money as a reward.

Some people don't play poker anymore, such as in a family:

"Don't play, don't play, I'm going to watch the live broadcast!"

"What live broadcasts do you watch? I don't usually study hard, what live broadcasts do I watch? Those female anchors are all made by beauty cameras!"

"Mom, I'm watching Li Yiru's live broadcast!"

"Li Yiru's live broadcast, then watch it! Call your sister over to watch it together!"

There are also some celebrities in the cultural world, who are also ready to take time out to watch the live broadcast when they are happy with their families, including some university professors.

This is a very strange thing, Li Yiru's fans, people of all levels of knowledge! This does not appear in other celebrities.

Like Li Yiru, there are childish children, eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls, athletes galloping on the field, and many well-educated people.

No matter what level of fans, they can find their favorite shining points in Li Yiru.

However, it is unrealistic for others to attract professor-level fans, but who made Li Yiru really come up with something, such as the true or false "Later Teacher Table".

In this year's new edition of the textbook, whether the author of the "Later Teacher's Table" will be "doubted" is still being debated by relevant people, and if it is really revised, it will be a real official affirmation of Li Yiru.

At that time, Li Yiru's operation of fighting left and right made these scholars and fans amazed to this day!

They really can't do such a sassy operation! This is really not good for not acknowledging the gap, it is really not good!

It is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the whole country is on holiday, and tonight is destined to be a night of traffic explosion.

In the live broadcast room, all the staff are ready, the live broadcast equipment has been adjusted, the camera records the whole process, everyone is crowded at the door, quietly looking at the folder on the desktop, and it is not clear what new content Li Yiru will bring tonight.

Program assistant Wang Yifei looked at his watch and started the countdown: "10, 9, 8...... Begin. ”

In anticipation, the live broadcast began.

Li Yiru waved at the camera: "Hello everyone, Happy New Year!"

In the comment area, it is neatly aligned:

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

……

At the same time, all kinds of gifts instantly filled the screen, and Li Yiru's appearance was obscured.

Li Yiru has become accustomed to this situation, although the audience can't see his face occasionally, it does not prevent him from broadcasting normally.

"Thank you for your New Year's gifts, but you must do what you can. Remember, do what you can!

Starting today, I will start a new live broadcast series, "Li Yiru's Live Broadcast: Eight Lectures on Historical Theory", in which I will try my best to explain some historical theories in an easy-to-understand way. I hope you can get something out of it. ”

"Wow, Mr. Li is going to talk about high-tech things!"

"Obviously, it seems that this popular science is very high-end!"

"Li Yiru is finally going to learn from us!"

"The scumbag is online, trembling!"

……

Looking at the barrage, Li Yiru smiled and said, "What are the four ancient civilizations, do you know what netizens know?"

A local tyrant sent a text prop and gave the correct answer:

[Ancient Babylon, Ancient India, Ancient Egypt and Our Country. 】

Li Yiru: "This is a correct answer, why is it a correct answer, because the four ancient civilizations have always been controversial and not discussed.

And what is the criterion for judging these four ancient civilizations, Chinese and foreign academic circles are also arguing.

Let me briefly elaborate on a few criteria that are more reasonable:

First, there should be a city in the excavated site, and it should be able to accommodate more than 5,000 people.

Second, there needs to be the use of words.

Third, there should be a complex ceremonial architecture.

Fourth, the invention and use of metallurgy.

……

Our topic today begins around the 5th century B.C.E. Around the 5th century A.D., there was a great and incredible period in human history.

In this short period of time, the Chinese, Indian, Persian, Jewish and Greek civilizations developed rapidly, and a large number of ideological masters appeared on a large scale in various regions!

At that time, the wise men of Greece were thinking about the relationship between man and things on the Adriatic coast, the wise men of India were thinking about the relationship between man and God on the banks of the Ganges River, and the wise men of China were thinking about the relationship between man and man on the banks of the Yellow River.

Europe, which thinks about man and things, gave birth to a developed natural science, and Indians, who think about man and God, are keen on supernatural practices, but our sons and daughters are all thinking about the relationship between man and man.

This is a very strange period, as if the civilized regions have been divided, and the division of labor has clearly entered a period of rapid development!

It is amazing that although China, India, the Middle East and Greece are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and the transportation and information are blocked, all civilized peoples are experiencing a strange spiritual movement at this time.

This period gave birth to Socrates, Plato, Shakyamuni, Homer, Archimedes, Confucius, Lao Tzu......

These sages created brilliant ideological wisdom and laid the spiritual foundation of the entire human race. And to this day, we are still attached to this foundation and cannot be surpassed.

Around the 5th century B.C., between 25 and 35 degrees north latitude, this specific period of explosion of human wisdom is called the 'Axial Age'!"

Hearing this, Professor Lin Feng, a historian at Fudan University, was stunned and said to himself: "What era?"

A scholar: "What's that?"

Dong Jinfu: "Why haven't I heard of it?"

……

Many people in the cultural circle, when they heard the word "Axial Age", they were already confused, everyone had never heard of this statement, but ordinary fans seemed very normal, and they still listened to Li Yiru with great interest.

After all, ordinary fans are limited by their own knowledge, even if Li Yiru talks about history, even if everything he says is wrong, many of them may listen to it seriously.

The "Axial Age", a well-known theory in the field of previous historiography, was formally proposed by Jaspers in 1949, and gave birth to other branches of scholarship!

Of course, as with other theories, some historians were aware of this before Jaspers proposed the "Axial Age", but it was Jaspers who systematically published a book on it!

In this time and space, there are naturally some historians who are aware of this period of intellectual explosion around the 5th century BC, but Li Yiru is the first person in the world to publicly affirm the theory of the "Axial Age".

Li Yiru took out a piece of paper from the folder, facing the screen, and there were four big words on the paper: [Axis Era]!

Li Yiru said: "Don't give a reward first, please take a look at these four words, these four words are written like this!"

Around 500 A.D., within the range of 25 degrees to 35 degrees north latitude, in a specific historical period and in a specific region, various disconnected civilizations burst out with brilliant wisdom at the same time, glorifying human history and laying the foundation of human thought and spirit.

For the next 2,000 years, until today, we humans have survived on everything that was thought and created during the Axial Period.

Moreover, with each new leap of humanity, we have to look back on this period and be rekindled by it, and the awakening of the Axial Potential and the return to the Axial Potential, or revival, always provide the spiritual driving force.

So, what is the reason for this 'Axial Age'?

Is it God's choice, or is it the natural progression of human history?

Can our future give birth to the next Axial Age and reshape the foundations of our souls?

Let me take a look at my live stream data first, and I'll talk about that later. ”

Netizens:

"Hey, hang your appetite!"

"You don't need to watch the popularity, 28 million people have already watched the live broadcast!

"Could it be that history is also so mysterious?"

"After listening to Li Yiru's live broadcast, I really like history!"

……

Fans are curious about the mysterious "Axial Age", but they are unlikely to realize that a new and lasting theory in the field of historiography is about to be born in this ordinary live broadcast.

Professor Lin Feng was faintly aware of something, he stood up, but his brows were still furrowed, his head was already full of the words "Axial Era".

"Dad, what do you want?"

Professor Lin Feng glanced at his son and said, "I'm thinking, how can I have such a waste son as you?!"

"Always say that!"

After taking a sip of water and looking at the data, tonight's live broadcast data should be better than the previous issue, Li Yiru put his mind at ease and continued:

"During the 'Axial Age', in various civilizations, sages suddenly appeared in a group, and sages gathered, and during this period, countless sages jointly shaped the spiritual heritage of human civilization.

But how did the Axial Age come about? Why did all of a sudden such a glorious era emerge in human history? Why did our human history never regain its glory?

Next, let's talk about the origins of the Axial Age, genealogy!"

After that, Li Yiru took out a piece of A4 paper again, and a few big characters were printed on it: [Origin of the Axial Age: Genealogy!]

At this time, Professor Lin Feng hurriedly returned to the study with his mobile phone, picked up a pen and paper and prepared shorthand.

The family members were stupid when they saw this scene, no, it's just a high school student's live broadcast, and you still have to give people a score?

Professor Lin's wife said, "Are you used to being a teacher?

"Shut up!!" Professor Lin stared intently at the phone screen.

Mrs. Lin was stunned: "What are you talking about?"

"Uh...... Which, please be quiet, okay?"

In the live broadcast room, Li Yiru continued:

"We first talk about the Axial Age in terms of historical environmental changes, and the nature of the origin of civilization is the transition from a static state to a moving state.

……”

Next, Li Yiru made a brief analysis of the birth of the Axial Age from five aspects: the theory of historical environment change, the comparison of personal cognitive development models, and the theory of cultural dissemination.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yiru went one step further and put forward the concept of civilization dynamics in the Axial Age.

From the proposal of the Axial Age Theory to the given two research directions of the Axial Age, Li Yiru presented the framework of the previous Axial Age theory to all online fans.

Li Yiru used the theory of the Axial Age to continue to tell everyone about the splendid history of the East and the West.

The miraculous Archimedes, the awesome Julius Caesar, the famous Cleopatra, the miraculous vault of the Pantheon, the hundred schools of thought in the history of China, etc...... Fresh and interesting Eastern and Western histories are poured into the minds of fans.

Although he talks about Chinese civilization, Li Yiru, a foreign civilization, will also introduce it accordingly, because, not only we have excellent civilizations here, but also other regions, and there is no one more important and brilliant than whom.

Originally, tonight's live broadcast was expected to be two hours, but it didn't end until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and Li Yiru broadcast live for three hours.

"That's all for tonight's livestream, and the 'Axial Age' theory is just my words. I think there will be countless opposing voices of opposition to this theory I have proposed, and there may be some people who are lucky enough to support it, and I hope that everyone will have a friendly exchange.

Happy New Year to everyone again, see you in the next episode!"

In the comment area, it was messed up in an instant:

"What did he say?"

"The theory of the Axial Age was put forward by Li Yiru?"

"Damn, can't you? I've been listening to it for a long time, and I've always thought it's textbook knowledge!"

"I'll go! This thing is a bit of nonsense!"

"We must have misinterpreted Li Yiru's meaning, it must have been misinterpreted, his original intention should be that the Axial Era was proposed by him tonight for everyone to discuss, not created by him. Everyone's understanding is wrong!"

"Yes, we must have misunderstood!"

……

A consensus was quickly reached in the comment area, and it was agreed that everyone misunderstood Li Yiru's original intention, after all, Hua Chinese Yiru's words are easy to be ambiguous, after all, no matter how awesome Li Yiru is, can he still be awesome to the point of putting forward his own theory?

This is obviously unrealistic!

At this time, a comment aroused everyone's idea - "I am engaged in historical research, and Li Yiru's theory is very novel and convincing." The theory of this Axial Age is unheard of in academic circles!"

All netizens were messy again for a while!
