Jiang Shuiyuan ended his argument cleanly, and the Shanyang High School team subconsciously looked at the time on the timer: 4 minutes and 55 seconds!

At first glance, you can tell that it is the old rivers and lakes.

Waiting for Jiang Shuiyuan to sit down, the audience slapped loudly whether they understood it or not, and many of them were relatives and friends invited by the Shanyang High School team, which made Lan Fang, who organized the backup, feel stuffy.

After a pause in applause, Huang Dongpei, the leader of the Shanyang High School team, stood up and bowed to say hello, the difference was that he held several notes in his hand: "Today's view on our side is that Ma is better than Ban." Ma is better than Ban, or Sima Qian's "Historical Records" is better than Ban Gu's "Book of Han", which should be the consensus of the vast majority of people who have read these two books, and it is also the mainstream view of the academic circles since the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty. Why do people throughout the ages think so? There are countless reasons, but it should be self-evident which is better and which is inferior. We are only sparse in learning, so let's argue that horses are better than classes from the following points.

"First of all, the difficulty is different. The style of official history with the emperor's book as the key and the biography as the weft was first created by Sima Qian. As we all know, the blue wisps of the road open up the mountains and forests, starting from scratch and ingenuity are the most tests of scholars' talent and courage. It can be seen that Sima Qian's talent and courage are better than Ban Gu.

"Secondly, the complexity is different. Sima Qian's "Historical Records" wrote about the historical events from the Xia Shang to the Han Dynasty for more than 2,000 years, using only 500,000 words. In contrast, Ban Gu used 800,000 words to describe the historical events of the Western Han Dynasty for more than 200 years. The annoyance is different, and the density is different. It can be seen that Sima Qian's pen power and insight are better than Ban Gu.

"Third, the quality of the text is different. Sima Qian's "Historical Records" is full of changes, eclectic, written in letters, painted in shapes and colors, his arguing arguments are gorgeous, and the narrative records are hidden in the name check, for Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Fan Ju, Cai Ze to write biographies, then the rhetoric is displaced, but also enough to show his great talent, known as 'the swan song of the historian, the rhyme of the separation'. And Bangu's "Book of Han" is sluggish, and thousands of people are on the same side, and they depreciate and degrade mistakes, so as to hurt the way of loyal ministers. It can be seen that Sima Qian's literary talent and historical talent are better than Ban Gu.

"Based on the above three points, we believe that the horse is better than the class. ”

Huang Dongpei bowed slightly again after speaking, and at the same time secretly glanced at the timer: 3 minutes and 20 seconds. Although he is still slightly inferior to the other party in grasping the time, he is very satisfied with his performance, after all, the first time he participated in the official competition, there was no overtime deduction, no stumbling, and no foul plays.

Jiang Shuiyuan also nodded secretly after listening to the other party's argument, the performance of the other party's master general was very amazing, and he was at least the top three in the whole province last year. It can be seen that the other party dares to go to Huai'an Mansion to kick the gym, in addition to having a big killer, the outstanding debater is also one of the confidences!

Gao He, Chu Taisong, Qian Zhongming and other three people's feelings are different from those of Jiang Shuiyuan. They looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and adoration. It is estimated that if it weren't for the fact that he was still competing, he couldn't wait to push the gold mountain, pour the jade pillar, and bow to the water source of the river: Brother Gongming, accept the younger brother!

Immediately after entering the mutual attack and defense session, the second opponent will first refute the positive argument for 3 minutes. If you want to say that the previous arguments can be prepared in advance, then from now on, you can basically only rely on the debaters to play on the spot, and the game has entered the most exciting stage, and everyone is in good spirits.

The other party's second argument is the same as Chu Taisong, a girl.

She took the slip of paper that she had just hastily written and read it word by word: "Just now, the opponent's defense friend thought that Ban was superior to Ma, the main reason was that Sima Qian was curious and Ban Gu Yaping, the "Historical Records" was complicated and the "Book of Han" was pure, and put forward three arguments, namely, "Historical Records" still has the habit of the Warring States Period, and "Book of Han" is pure historian's penmanship; "Historical Records" is impure in style, and "Book of Han" is unified throughout the book; "Historical Records" has the purpose of violating the teachings of sages who are resentful but not angry, and respecting the scriptures in a mediocre and peaceful manner, while "Book of Han" runs through the Five Classics, which is deeply in line with the meaning of education.

First of all, the "Records of the Historians" is a mixture of the pre-Qin princes and the "Spring and Autumn" penmanship, which is full of variety, eclectic, colorful, and brilliant writing, which is precisely where the "Records of the Historians" wins over the "Book of Han", not its shortcomings. Secondly, the "Records of the Historians" belongs to the drafting stage of the official historical biography, while the "Book of Han" belongs to the later stage of Dacheng. What's more, these are all trivial and marginal, and we can't hide our virtue with a blink. Third, third—well, that's it!"

The audience burst into laughter.

She sat down with a flushed face. Looking at the time, it took less than half of 3 minutes. But Jiang Shuiyuan still admires her very much, although she was limited by knowledge or experience, she was unable to fully elaborate, but the two points she said really poked at the sore spot of the Huai'an Mansion squadron. Now it's up to you to see how Gao He played!

Gao He was calm.

He stood up, propped his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and showed a strong oppression: "Hello everyone! I was very surprised and even a little unbelievable after listening to the other party's argument just now. For example, when the other side argued that Ma is better than Ban, "is the consensus of the vast majority of people who have read these two books, and it is also the mainstream view in academic circles since the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty." In fact, since the "Book of Han" was written, until the Tang Dynasty, the mainstream view has been to respect the Ban and Qu Ma and emphasize the "Han" and the "History", not the other way around. As we quoted Wang Chong's "On Balance" before, "Uncle Ban continued the "Taishi Gongshu", and those who read it thought that it was A, and Taishi Gongyi', and the Eastern Jin Dynasty monk Shi Dao'an also said in "Confucianism and Taoism Ascending and Lowering" that "Meng Jian's writing, the ancient praise is true; It was not until after the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty that 'retro' became the banner of long-term prosperity, and the status of Sima Qian's "Historical Records" gradually improved, and it was not until after the Song and Ming dynasties that books such as "Shi Han Fangjia" appeared. I don't know why the opponent's defense friend said that Ma is better than Ban 'is the mainstream view of the academic circles since the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty'?"

Zhou Zhihu nodded slightly: This young man is not bad! He can look at problems from the perspective of historical development, and his words are reasonable and well-founded, no matter whether his conclusions are correct or not, at least his vision is very rare. Moreover, he keenly found that the two evidences of the other party's argument were from the Song Dynasty, and refuted it with the promotion of the status of the "Historical Records" after the Anshi Rebellion, which can be described as a move to defeat the enemy!

Gao He continued: "In order to argue that Ma is better than Ban, the other party has put forward three points of view: different difficulty, different complexity and simplicity, and different literary quality, but what I want to say first is that although the style of official history and biography was pioneered by Sima Qian, it was not carved out, but borrowed from the previous "Lü's Spring and Autumn". The Lü Spring and Autumn Period has 12 Chronicles, 8 Lans, and 6 Treatises, while the Historical Records has 12 Benji, 10 Tables, 8 Books, 30 Families, and 70 Biography. This point has been pointed out a long time ago, but we do not think that "Lü's Spring and Autumn" is superior or superior to "Historical Records" because of this.

Second, if the opponent's defense friend thinks that it is more clever to push through the old and bring forth the new, then the "Book of Han" should be more in line with the standard. Although the Book of Han generally followed the style of the Historical Records, it was also discarded to a large extent, such as calling the province of "Benji" "Ji", "Liechuan" province "Chuan", abolishing "Shijia", and changing "Shu" to "Zhi", all of which were inherited from the later official history.

"Third, as an excellent history book, it is important to have brilliant writing and gorgeous rhetoric, but more importantly, it is rich in historical materials, accurate descriptions, and well-tailored. I wonder what the opponent's defense friend thinks?"

Jiang Shuiyuan couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand: "It's not right, it should be a snake to add to it!"

"Yima kills dogs in the road" is about Ouyang Xiu when he was working in the Hanlin Academy, he went out on a trip with his colleagues, and a traffic accident occurred on the way, and a BMW overspeeding and killed a husky lying in the middle of the road. Ouyang Xiu said, "What will you do when you go back to write a diary?" Someone said: "There are dogs lying in the thoroughfare, and they are killed by horses' hooves." Someone said, "There are horses that have escaped in the streets, and lying dogs have been killed." Ouyang Xiu said very implicitly: "You guys are from the water network, right? If you want to write history books, I'm afraid there won't be enough paper in the whole country!" The two asked rhetorically: "If it were you, how would you write it?" Ouyang Xiu smiled very forcefully: "If you want me to write, six words are enough: Yima kills dogs in the Dao!"

On the surface, this allusion is to say that writing an article should be concise and redundant as much as possible. But it can also be used as a principle for the revision of historical books, that is, historical materials should be concise and concise, and the complicated ones should be simplified, otherwise the history of dynasties for hundreds of years can really write tens of thousands of books. Gao He's point of view is not much of a problem, from the point of view of current historical research, it is true that the more detailed and accurate the historical data, the better, but he should not cite the example of "Yima kills the dog in the Tao", it is easy to be caught by the other party!

Huang Dongpei, the main general of the other party, saw Jiang Shuiyuan's look of chagrin, but he realized something in his heart, and suddenly raised his right hand high: "Referee, I report, the opponent's defense friend used words in violation of the rules and should be punished!"

Jiang Shuiyuan was stunned for a moment: Huh? What's going on?
