Since the end of the Manchu Dynasty, there have been proposals to make a history of the previous dynasty in the Republic of China era.

The new dynasty made history for the previous dynasty, which is an unwritten rule that has been passed down in China for thousands of years, and it has been the case since ancient times, which is why looking at the whole world, only the most detailed historical materials of China.

In all countries in the world, only the history of China can run through the entire history of Chinese civilization, which has been inherited in an orderly manner for thousands of years, and many things that have happened in the past dynasties have been recorded in detail for future generations.

Except for Huaxia, it seems that there has never been a country with such detailed historical documents and exact chronicles, and the history of most countries is broken, and even Zhang Guan Li Dai has confused the order of the era and dynasties, anyway, it is a mess.

However, in the traditional culture of China, all dynasties have paid great attention to the revision of history, and almost all stable dynasties will sort out and compile the history of the previous dynasties.

After the end of the Manchu Dynasty, there were people who called for a history of the Qing Dynasty, because the country was in turmoil and the situation was unstable, so this task was handed over to some of the old and young people in the capital who claimed to have first-hand historical materials to compile, and after a few years, the history of the Qing Dynasty was freshly released.

As soon as this Qing history was born, it immediately attracted a lot of scolding, and even the descendants of many of the children of the Eight Banners couldn't stand it.

The old and young remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty sat too partial, full of nonsense, wantonly beautifying the old dynasty, and writing the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty as if it were a flower, and writing the original history as a joke, quite the legacy of Confucius in the past, beautifying the entire Qing Dynasty to the extreme.

The key is not only beautification, there are mistakes flying all over the sky, at that time, the Beiyang government simply had the strength to compile the history of the Qing Dynasty, many historical materials were not sorted out clearly, and the roots of those literati of the Tongcheng faction were not very solid, so they started the draft in a hurry, and it was full of flaws.

Because there are too many fallacies in it, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state did not regard the Qing history manuscript as an official history at all, and the country itself decided to recompile the history books for the Qing Dynasty.

But now, because there are many things involved in the history of the Qing Dynasty, some things are still controversial, and although there is no shortage of capable people among the compilers, there are fewer and fewer people who have goods in their stomachs, and there are not many capable people who are qualified to work in the compilation of historical books.

Therefore, it has been grinding until now, and this Qing history has not yet been finalized, let alone published.

Guo Dalu is well-informed, I heard that the current style used to compile history books is still modern vernacular, and the group of people who compile history books really don't have much inventory in their stomachs, as a butcher who kills pigs, he can't help it!

The previous compilation of historical books was all in the nature of classical Chinese, but if it was changed to vernacular in this era, it was too abrupt and completely difficult for Guo Dalu to accept.

This is the official history, not a popular science historical reading, but a real historical material to be passed down through the ages for future generations to verify, and it is extremely inappropriate to use vernacular, and it seems that the compilers are too incompetent to make a good connection with the previous history books.

In terms of the stability of cultural inheritance, classical Chinese has been tested for thousands of years, and it has proved the reliability of its style, while the vernacular is too verbose and cumbersome, and its stability is difficult to predict, after all, this is only a few decades of evolutionary history, and the variables are too great, and no one knows what the vernacular will become in the future.

Moreover, the use of vernacular to revise history seems quite child's play, without that solemn sense of ceremony and solemnity.

Guo Dalu looked down on the one hundred and twenty people in the Museum of Culture and History, so after having the idea of "leaving something for future generations", he first published the "Sword Immortal Li Taibai" he wrote before, and then began to compile the history books.

Among all the knowledge he obtained from the other world, there is also historical knowledge, basically from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the Xia, Shang and Zhou, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, all of which are extremely detailed, and the history of the other world is not much different from the history of Guo Dalu in the general direction, except for some literary celebrities.

For Guo Dalu, this saved him most of his effort, and provided him with a very powerful idea and a clear path in consulting the documents of Qing history.

In order to compile the history of the Qing Dynasty, Guo Dalu soaked in the Museum of Culture and History all day long, photocopied a lot of historical documents obtained by the former Qing Dynasty Imperial Palace, and slowly verified the authenticity, starting from the end of the Ming Dynasty, that is, from Nurhachi's so-called thirteen armor soldiers, and even from the birthplace of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to compile a detailed history book for the Qing Dynasty without subjective ideas.

The taboo in compiling history books is that the compiler has his own ideas, his butt is not in the right position, and his writing is tendentious.

True history should be like news, concise and to the point, without a standpoint, without the subjective thoughts of the literati, so as to ensure the objectivity of history.

Although Guo Dalu was extremely disliked by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty in modern times, when compiling this request, he still adhered to an objective and neutral attitude, linking the history of the Ming Dynasty with the history of the Qing Dynasty, neither favoring the Ming Dynasty nor suppressing the Qing Dynasty.

However, at the end of each biography, he can write his evaluation of these characters, which is his true confession, but this is just "Guo Dalu said", and has nothing to do with the official history.

Compiling history books is an extremely mentally and physically demanding work, and in his spare time, Guo Dalu published several books he had written one after another.

Among them are "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin" and "Dream of Red Mansions", after the publication of these three books, the sensation caused can be imagined.

Guo Dalu not only wrote "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" in classical Chinese, but now he has written these three works in the form of ancient vernacular, and Guo Dalu's profound ancient literary skills have been fully revealed in these three books.

In particular, the birth of "Dream of Red Mansions" has sparked a big discussion among Chinese people all over the world, and Nobel laureate Lei Yu described it to the outside world when he saw this book: "Just after reading the first two chapters of the beginning, my scalp is numb, and Dalu has already surpassed all of us in terms of story creation and writing!"

This "Dream of Red Mansions" shocked the entire literary world and sparked a great discussion among the members of the Literary Association, who basically unanimously agreed to recommend the book to the Nobel Prize for Literature nominations, and at the same time arrange the best translators to translate the foreign version of the book.

At the same time, the translation of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" is also in progress, although the limelight of these two books has been suppressed a lot by "Dream of Red Mansions", but after all, it should not be underestimated.

But now, they are from the same person, and in addition to shocking Guo Dalu's literary accomplishment and creative ability, these books can only become part of Guo Dalu's anthology, and cannot win honor for Huaxia in batches.

This is also a small regret.
