Chapter 1073: History
Highly recommended:
Lin Chen blinked, "What kind of book is this 'Qun Shu Zhi Yao-Liebiography'? Why haven't you heard of it?"
Zhao Xilin turned his head to look at his friend, "Dear, is your village just connected?"
Lin Chen naturally knew the stalk of "Village Netcom", and stretched out his foot to kick him, "If you have something to say, what are you doing with yin and yang?"
"Hey!" Zhao Xilin dodged and gave way to the attack, and then said: "If it is an anthology of governance digests compiled by Wei Zheng and others for Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, the emperor's time is so precious that he has no time to read the original work, so he has to ask his subordinates to help him select the important content that has a role in governing the country and compress it, and then they picked out sixty-five copies from more than 10,000 ancient books, cut and compressed them to more than 500,000 words, and finally became this 'group book of governance'. Lewen Mobile Network"
"For example, the paragraph I just said, 'More books to help Su Jian to self-judge', the original text is from 'Historical Records-Biography of Li Silie', but Sima Qian's original version of 'Biography of Li Silie' is much longer, and there are still details of the book in it. I think about it, it probably means that 'Fusu and Meng Tian led the troops to the border, and they didn't make any contributions, but they wrote to slander the emperor, and because they couldn't go back to Xianyang to be the prince, they complained about the emperor's father every day, such a son is really unfilial! As for how Mr. Sima Qian knew so clearly a hundred years later, it was not clear. β
"Oh," Lin Chen nodded, "And then, why do you say that my village is on the Internet, rare and strange?"
"Dizzy!" Zhao Xilin couldn't help but reach out to support his forehead, "I said so much, you haven't remembered it yet, it's not that you don't know what it is?" You open the bee reading, find the book, click on it, and then you understand." β
Bee has the rule that employees should try to use the bee system application in public, in order not to make everyone feel uncomfortable, the employee account comes with membership benefits, as long as you download the corresponding BPP can automatically activate the membership treatment. Bee reading is incomplete, the update is slow, Lin Chen said that the reason why he uses it is completely for the sake of not wanting money, not because the application comes with a cute reading girl's voice and is easy to love!
Lin Chen nodded suspiciously, took out his mobile phone and said casually, "I'll take a look." β
Open the Bee Reading app and search for "Group Books to Govern the Essentials", and the system prompts that there is a copy of "The Translation of the Essay on the Bookshelf" in his bookshelf. Clicking on the book again, the next detail page that appeared made his mouth grow.
Noticing his friend's expression, Zhao Xilin said: "Now you understand, right? This book has been very popular in recent years, you don't even know at all, you are not the village Netcom, who is the village Netcom?"
Lin Chen nodded in default and continued to look at the pages, and then he found more details, "I didn't even know there was this book, why is it in my bookshelf?
"No, no, it's a coincidence. The boss got the electronic copyright of this book in 08, and since then it has become the standard for bee employees, as long as the employee account is opened, the system will automatically give it away. β
Looking down at the time, Lin Chen found that the other party was right, this book was indeed lying in his bookshelf a long time ago, and he hadn't noticed it before. Shaking his head, he subconsciously shook the pot, "The reading development team is too irresponsible, just stuff the books, regardless of reminders and recommendations?"
Seeing his annoyance, Zhao Xilin didn't say anything to hurt him, nodded and said: "Actually, I'm similar to you, and I also let it lie down for several years, and then I searched it casually and found that it was already in my bookshelf." Later, when I asked someone else, I found out that it was a bug in the recommendation algorithm, and the system recommended books automatically skipped the books already on the shelf, so as not to make intellectual retardation errors like those e-commerce advertisements. β
Speaking of this, Zhao Xilin couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, "It's a pity that being smart is mistaken by being smart, I didn't expect there to be a gray-eating party like us." I've reported this issue to the reading team, and they said they would fix the bug in two days. β
"In two days?" Lin Chen keenly grasped the point, "You just saw this book?"
"Hmm!" This is not an unsightly secret, Zhao Xilin admitted calmly, raising his finger to point to the National Museum building with his back to the sun, "Because of this exhibition, I suddenly became interested in 'Gongzi Fusu', and I looked for information last night and found this book by chance." β
Lin Chen glared at an unscrupulous guy, "Then you just hold back and don't say anything, and come to me to show off, right?"
Zhao Xilin didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile, "Hey, hey!"
Stuffing the phone into his trouser pocket, Lin Chen looked at someone, "What else, let's finish it all at once!"
"Okay!"
"The main reason why the book is not famous is that the book has been lost for 1,300 years. β
"And then where the archaeology was dug up?"
"No," Zhao Xilin shook his head, "This book has only been lost in China, but it is still circulating in Japan." In 1616 (the second year of Genwa), the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu had this set of books printed, but unfortunately he died soon after, and only 51 sets were printed. Then, in 1781 (the first year of the Tenmei), the Tokugawa descendants borrowed a set of handwritten editions from the monks, and asked them to print them again, and specially asked the Chinese merchants to bring three sets back to China to bring them back to Middle-earth. During the Republic of China, the Commercial Press published this set of books, but the number of prints and fame were not large, until later, the former ambassador to Japan received a photocopy of the 1781 edition presented by the royal family of the island country, and brought it back to the experts to study the translation notes, which led to this 'test translation'. β
"The original book was brought back to China in 96, but it could not be published because the publishing house was not optimistic, if it wasn't for our boss to help underwrite 50,000 copies, I don't know how long the official publication of the 'test translation version' would have been delayed. The funny thing is that when this set of books became popular in 12 years, various publishing houses immediately stepped in and quickly launched new editions to grab the market. You are now searching for 'group books and rules' on Goudong Books, and you can search for more than 70 kinds in one go, including simplified Chinese versions, traditional Chinese versions, Yuanhe photocopied versions, review versions, talk versions, and even character copy versions and comic versions, so prosperous that I don't know what to say. β
"Normal," Lin Chen didn't care, "After all, Wei Zheng has been dead for more than a thousand years, and this book has long been a public book, and anyone can get involved." Isn't it the same with Journey to the West, the Three Kingdoms, the Gods, and the Red Chamber? Stories belong to all mankind, and anyone can use them to make movies and games!"
"That's true!" Zhao Xilin nodded, "But those old experts who are engaged in translation and annotation and our boss have not suffered a loss." β
Lin Chen knew what he meant, and couldn't help sighing: "In the end, it is because of people, it always feels weird." β
"What's so hard to see about this?" this time it was Zhao Xilin's turn to express his understanding, "The star effect is everywhere, compared with those celebrities who endorse at sky-high prices, this is already very good." β
Exhaling a breath, Lin Chen looked up at the front of the team that suddenly appeared to disturb, "The door is open!"
There were not many people who bought tickets to see the special exhibition, so Zhao Lin and the others quickly completed the whole process of storing bags, buying tickets, and security checks, and entered the museum.
Looking around, Lin Chen asked, "Where are we going now?"
Zhao Xilin shook his head, "Let's go directly to the exhibition, I'm not interested in those old experts." β
People are so contradictory, he just expressed sympathy and indignation for the old experts who participated in the compilation of "Qun Shuzhi to be Translated", but he turned his face and expressed his indifference to the other wave of old experts, which was inconsistent and made people laugh.
No way, as soon as he thought of the official name of this press conference: Symposium on the Integration of Historical and Geographical Research and Popular Entertainment and Cultural Products, he couldn't resist the urge to laugh. In order not to sabotage the hard work of his colleagues, Zhao Xilin decided not to cause trouble.
When he said this, Lin Chen lost the interest of joining in the fun, "Then I won't go either, let's give up the limited seats to history lovers and journalist friends!"
Following the route indicated on the admission ticket, the two quickly found the exhibition hall where the "Fusu Character Exhibition" was located.
Not surprisingly, there were already quite a few visitors here, and it was clear that the audience in front of them was not interested in the screwing conference.
The exhibition hall is not large, only more than 100 square meters, with more than 20 large and small paintings and reliefs hanging on the walls, and six display cabinets in the middle, from which warm and bright light shines down, illuminating the exhibits and the attached introduction labels, and the specifications and styles are no different from other exhibition halls.
In front of a figure painting, Lin Chen stopped.
It was a picture of Gongbi, a young man wearing a white silk coat with wide robes and large sleeves, his hair tied on his head and a crown, and a sword hanging from his waist, looking sideways at the workers who were toiling not far away, his face was sad, as if he was worried about something.
Looking at this painting, Lin Chen quickly thought of the story behind it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hang a light smile.
"The winner is not blamed" is of course utilitarian and ruthless, but if it is the other way around, it becomes "the loser is of noble character", which is a bit of a matter of assumption.
Gongzi Fusu is such a "noble" loser.
In the pen of later historians such as Sima Qian, Fusu is like an excellent heir who is a pro-virtuous minister, a distant villain, a resolute and brave man, benevolent and far-sighted. The emperor "burned books and pitted Confucianism", and he dared to speak out against it for the sake of benevolence; after receiving a false edict, he was still determined to die after being persuaded by others, which was for filial piety; he held the elite soldiers on the border but did not fight against the Soviet Union, but he was loyal. He is both benevolent and filial, and he is also the eldest son of Confucianism, and he is born with orthodox inheritance, which is the emperor candidate that Confucian scholars dream of.
In the eyes of ancient historians, the biggest reason why the Qin Empire collapsed in just fifteen years was that Fusu, the eldest son, was framed, so that there was no suitable successor to control this huge country. They continue to glorify Fusu, in fact, in order to advocate the Confucian system of succession to concubines, and in essence, they do not necessarily sympathize with and appreciate the "first prince in history".
There is no market for the inheritance of the elder in modern society, but the halo imposed on Fusu has not dissipated, but has become more and more. Distance produces beauty, and the distant time of 2,200 years also provides space for all kinds of beautiful imaginations, and then there is a series of literary and fantasy works with Fusu as the protagonist.
Seeing that he didn't stop, Zhao Xilin also came over, looked at the picture first, turned his head and asked in a low voice, "What is he sad about?"
"Sorry for these trees, sorry for the loess that will be thousands of ravines in a thousand years. β
"Huh!" Zhao Xilin tried to suppress his laughter, and looked at his friend and reminded, "Don't joke, okay?"
"I'm not kidding," Lin Chen shook his head, picked up his phone and turned on the camera, pointing at the QR code under the frame.
The video playback interface appeared on the screen, and he was not in a hurry to click play, but handed the phone to the other party.
Zhao Xilin took it and clicked on it, and a reckless piece of forest appeared in front of him.
Riding on a white horse, his hooves dancing in his cloak, Fusu was galloping down a path deep into the woods, followed by a guard in a black uniform, armor and spear in his hand.
The familiar shape and painting style told him that this was a real-time rendered animation, which should be from "Qin Yan 3D Remake".
As the horses advance, the picture gradually darkens, but it transitions from a secondary forest with only sparse small trees and tall shrubs and grasses to a primary forest, with tall and thick tree trunks supporting a huge canopy, obscuring the sky above everyone's heads, and the shrubs and weeds under the trees are noticeably sparse, growing among the trees, greedily competing for the only bit of sunlight.
It didn't take long for the screen to light up, and an open field appeared on the screen, but it was a lumber yard located in the forest.
Through the dialogue with the steward, Fusu Daoming came to understand that he was worried about the progress of the construction and came to inspect the lumber yard.
During the conversation, Fusu inadvertently mentioned the sparse trees on the periphery, and then he learned from the steward and master craftsman that "ten-year trees" are only suitable for fruit trees and miscellaneous trees, and it takes decades or even hundreds of years for small trees to grow into good timber and big trees. Of course, as one of the heirs of the Great Qin Empire, Fusu naturally cared about the problems of future generations. However, his naΓ―ve environmentalist ideas were given a cold reception, the steward only cared about the task goal, and talked about returning to the city to rest early, and the master craftsmen and workers only cared about the immediate food, clothing, and clothing, and only said that "children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren" when it comes to the future.
His concept of sustainable development was not understood, and Fusu had to silently look at the stumps in a daze, sad for the mountains that would become convex in a few hundred years.
At the end of the video, Zhao Xilin was shocked: "Is there really this plot?
"This last paragraph hides the plot," retracting the phone, Lin Chen explained: "If you don't return to the camp at the beginning, you will trigger the main line, and if you only wander outside, there is a chance to trigger this." β
Zhao Xilin blinked puzzledly, "What's the point of packaging Fusu as an environmentalist?"
"I don't know," Lin Chen shook his head, "maybe it's to use his mouth to promote environmental protection, or it may be to make up the plot so that players won't be bored in the wild." β
The remake has been made into the 3D open world that Bee Games is best at, and there are large areas of mountains and lakes to explore and enjoy outside of the city and village camps, and there is no problem abandoning the main story and playing it as a hunting and wilderness survival game.
"It's too much, Fusu has become an environmental protection warrior, and it feels so disobedient. β
"Can you accept Fusu to become a brave and warlike young general, can accept magic and witchcraft, why can't you accept him to become an environmental protection warrior? History is a little girl who can be dressed up, especially the historical figures in the game, isn't Qin Shi Huang made into a Handan bear child?"
Zhao Xilin had nothing to say, so he could only turn around silently and pretend to look at the sculptures in the hall.
