Su Luo's opening song is very good, and the song "Once Upon a Time" brought the audience back to the era when cars, horses, and mail were very slow, and it also made the audience more interested in the content of the next program, looking forward to it, and the program was unexpectedly powerful.

"The first letter we meet with you today is the earliest private letter in Chinese history that we know can be found in kind......

Just listening to the guests introduce the historical background of this first letter shocked the audience enough.

In 1975, on the edge of a section of the railway in Yunmeng County, Hubei Province, a Warring States tomb group was discovered, which achieved a great breakthrough in the study of pre-Qin culture.

Among them is a small tomb, which is narrow and shabby compared to the others, but two bamboo slips with words written on them record the earliest family letter that has been discovered.

In 223 BC, the Qin army generals Heifu and the Jing brothers, who participated in the battle of the Qin State to unify the Six Kingdoms, wrote to their eldest brother on the front line.

"Oh my God, that's amazing!"

"In 223 BC, I dropped God, the time of the unification of the Qin State was 221 BC, that is, it was only two years away from Qin Shi Huang's unification of China!"

"Haha, at that time, Qin Shi Huang had already swept away all the weak countries, the first to be seconds was Han, and the battle of Qin to destroy Han was from the sixteenth to the seventeenth year of the reign of King Qin (231-230 BC), and the rest were the most powerful Qi and Chu!"

(Well, it's not water, I saw a lot of reports on the Internet, and it was written that it was 233 BC, and even an article on a certain network known as "China's first official media" also wrote about 233 BC, the era of information explosion, I want to laugh, but I think of the tip of the tongue 3 in the "Xi'an Huifang formed in the Tang Dynasty", uh, such a comparison, it seems to be nothing, I'm sorry, I'm too serious.) ）

The introduction of the background and characters of this era alone has aroused the strong interest of countless people.

More than 2,000 years ago, what did people use to write letters? Or did they write on the front line of the battlefield at the end of the Warring States Period during the War of the Unification of the Six Kingdoms of Qin, and what did they write at that time?

In the applause of the audience, the letter reader appeared.

"I don't know how long this war will last, the Qin army soldiers Heifu and Surprise wrote to the eldest brother, in the second lunar month of 223 BC. ”

Open history with letters, from a letter 2000 years ago, before officially entering the story of the letter, the audience seems to see a picture of the war intertwined with blood and fire slowly unfolding.

After a loud and urgent horn sound, the army of the Qin army camp set out, and the black like a pine forest all over the field, advancing in a rumbling sound, colliding with the Chu army.

In an instant, long swords and scimitars flew sonorously, spears and spears whistled and flew by, dense arrows rained like locusts crossing the border, and dull shouts and short roars made the mountains and rivers tremble!

The letters and painting style of the front-line soldiers should be like this, right? But the result is diametrically opposite to what most people think.

"Today, it's the day of February, Heifu and Jing congratulate my eldest brother well, and my mother's health, is it okay? ”

The ancient letters of classical Chinese are translated into modern Chinese and read out, which is more simple and straightforward and easier for the audience to feel and understand.

Unexpectedly, I didn't write about the hardships and cruelty on the battlefield as many viewers imagined, and I just greeted my brother and my mother if she was okay, and again, both of us brothers were fine.

In the context of the brutal and bloody front-line battlefield, it is not difficult to imagine that the implication of this seemingly simple sentence is so urgent: we are still alive. Inadvertently, it's a critical blow to the heart.

Tomorrow, it is still unknown whether I will still be alive, but what I am most worried about at this moment is my parents and elders, and in the battlefield, I repeatedly asked my family, especially if my mother was okay, and I was inexplicably moved.

Letters are a tool for exchanging emotions and thoughts between people who have been far away and have not seen each other for a while.

Once, in those distant and long eras, there were no telephones, no mobile phones, no Internet, no WeChat, and the means of transportation were extremely primitive and backward.

As a result, the letter hides how many literati and celebrities, as well as the emotional tidbits of ordinary people who have passed away but will never be erased, like waves floating in the long river of history, which still shines today.

The audience was amazed to find that the original letters from more than 2,000 years ago, the oldest family letters, as the sons of people who were uprooted from their homeland due to the battlefield, the concerns and wishes written by these two people in this family letter from the battlefield 2,000 years ago are no different from later generations and even today.

When it comes to family letters, many people will have a sense of warmth in their hearts, and their hearts are connected to their families, so that different people have the same cherishment and desire for family letters.

"The beacon fire lasted for three months, and the family letter was worth 10,000 dollars. ”

It turns out that in such a distant ancient time, more than 2,000 years ago, the family affection conveyed in the family letter was like this, what a touching thing.

Then, there was still no magnificent ancient battlefield, they just talked about some family trivialities, and they missed his new wife very much, and Heifu, who didn't seem to be married, was still thinking about his mother the most, and repeatedly told him: When he fights outside, his brother must take care of his mother......

The content of these two letters can be roughly divided into two parts, the first part is to greet my brother and mother, ask my aunt if she gave birth safely, report that she is fighting in Huaiyang, and report safety to her family, etc., the second part says that she is short of clothes and money, and hopes that the family can send clothes and money as soon as possible, otherwise "you will die".

And the second part of the letter is the main topic, asking for help, wanting to ask my mother for money and clothes.

Far away from their families and in troubled times, they have to face war and death every day, but their livelihood problems cannot be solved, and they will inevitably die in battle.

Among them, he was very anxious in the letter.

He said that if his mother didn't send the money quickly, his life might not be saved, because he had already started to borrow money from other people, borrowing money from a man named Yuanbai.

In addition, the surprise newlywed, Heifu is not married, it can be speculated that the surprise should be Heifu's brother, Heifu's luck is relatively poor, and he is about to participate in the siege of Huaiyang, Huaiyang is the territory of Chu, once Huaiyang is broken, you can go south to attack the Chu capital Shouchun. The battle will be long, and it will not be finished for a while, and the injuries will not be known......

Therefore, I was surprised that in view of Heifu's special task, I hope that my mother will send more money and clothes to Heifu.

"Whew~!When I went out to fight at that time, I had to prepare my own clothes?"

"At that time, if you don't pay back the money you borrowed, you have to pay it back with your life?"

"Three times in a row, worried about my life, I didn't forget to ask my mother to give my brother Heifu a little more, just a few words, you can feel the brotherly love, want to cry. ”

......

In the context of the era of Qin's unification of the Six Kingdoms, the brothers fought on the battlefield for many years, and they had to be loyal to the country and the army, and filial piety and family care.

In the harsh situation of material scarcity, difficulty in survival, and primitive communication, only burying deep feelings of longing in the bottom of my heart, feeling guilty about my family, waiting bitterly, and imagining the day when the victory was celebrated and the family reunited.

From this family letter, we can see that the ancients upheld, filial piety, loyalty, faithfulness, courtesy, righteousness, honesty, and shame......

Traditional moral culture has a long history.

Under the conscription system of Qin's "three dings and two draws", perhaps they had no choice, Heifu and Jing were conscripted into the army, entrusted their mother to their brother, left their hometown Anlu, and moved to Huaiyang, thousands of miles away.

For what?

Title?

Maybe it is, because in the letter, the brothers are asking if the official documents for giving us titles have been delivered to our homes.

But in the end, it's still for one word, home.

I don't know how long this war will last, and whether I will be alive tomorrow.

In the letter, it doesn't seem to matter anymore, the important thing is that if you kill the enemy on the battlefield, the rear government will send the title to your home, and from then on, the status of the people in the family will be different because of your bravery, bloodshed, and sacrifice.

This oldest family letter, in just a few words, contains too many records.

The audience was all moved.
