What is History?

I don't want to talk about it as a cliché, but there are always some vicious words! Probably because of my profession, I am very disgusted by this kind of rude argument!

In professional debates, participants are required to always maintain elegant etiquette, even if there are different views, even if the argument is fierce, they will never spit out bad words, deliberately hurt others, or even personal attacks without a bottom line!

Therefore, in the book review area, once there is such a remark, I will basically delete it!

If you don't agree, it's okay! Say a solid and rigorous basis, and I'll still put it on top!

I've found that a lot of people don't really understand the label I deliberately labeled as "civilizational cyclery."

Do you think the history you know is the real history?

On June 20, a few days ago, a news was reported on Chinanews.com. It is said that murals from 10,000 years ago were found in Habahe County, Xinjiang, and there are many petroglyphs that resemble airplanes and rockets.

I don't know if you've seen this news, (friends who follow Tencent News in WeChat can find it by turning a few pages up) But I was impressed by one of the sentences!

"After preliminary analysis, experts believe that the petroglyphs resembling airplanes and rockets cannot be ruled out as airplanes and rockets, but they are more likely to be other objects. ”

I won't go into the deeper reasons for the experts' conclusion, but what I do know is that the experts did not completely rule out the possibility that the petroglyphs were airplanes or rockets!

Why? Because that's a rigorous academic attitude!

What is a scientific proposition? The identification of a scientific proposition is not that the proposition can be proven, on the contrary, only when a proposition can be falsified, can it be considered science!

For example, for thousands of years, heaven and hell have not been scientifically recognized, and the reason is that no one can falsify it!

Why don't you go to heaven and come back and tell us?

The theory of the cycle of civilization is a theory that has always existed in the field of historiography, and it is precisely because no one can falsify it that it is not accepted by the mainstream view, but there are still many scholars who spend their lives studying this topic.

Yes, there are many scholars who do not try to prove this theory, on the contrary, they spend their whole lives trying to falsify this theory!

It's just that there is still no result......

Do you think our history is what is written in books?

If you have time, you can look at the high school history textbook, when it comes to ancient Chinese history, the history of three generations ago, that is, the paragraph of primitive society, the paragraph about the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, the textbook must have added a qualifier!

"The Age of Legends!"

That's right!

So, can you prove it to me?

With that said, let's talk about the book!

There was a curfew in the Tang Dynasty! I really want to thank those "knowledgeable" book lovers, thank you for telling me this thing I already knew!

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, of course, there was a curfew, and the curfew was extremely strict!

Why? Because during that time, the world was initially decided, and the Tang Dynasty was still fighting for years, and it was necessary to use this militarized method to manage the city.

However, I am in the year of Tianbao! More than 100 years have passed!

The advantage of curfews is that they are easy to manage, but for business, curfews are the biggest obstacle to business development!

In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the "grass market" began to rise, and the fang market system that opened at sunrise and stopped at sunset gradually relaxed, and special commercial bases began to appear in Yangzhou, Yizhou and other places, day and night.

In addition, specialized product production centers began to appear. Here is another quote from "Tang Xuanzong" (by Zhao Yang, this book is similar to "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is subject to historical data, and the controversial places are marked by the author, which is more rigorous. A passage in the interior to prove it.

When each ship passed in front of Li Longji, there was a loud man on each ship who reported the special products on board. Li Longji listened carefully, and he heard that the cargo carried by the ship in front of him was:

Guangling County (now Yangzhou): brocade, bronze mirror, bronze ware, seafood

Danyang County (now Zhenjiang): Jingkou Ayashi section

Jinling County (now Changzhou): folded official end silk embroidery

Huiji County (now Shaoxing): bronze, Luo, Wu Aya, silk yarn

Nanhai County (now Guangzhou): tortoiseshell, pearls, ivory, agarwood

Yuzhang County (now Nanchang): famous porcelain, wine vessels, tea kettles, tea bells, tea bowls

Xuancheng County (now Xuanzhou): empty bluestone, paper and pen, Coptis chinensis

Shi'an County (now Guilin): banana kudzu, snake gall, jade

Wu County (now Suzhou): Three broken books are fast, abbot Aya

Among the 300 large ships, a total of more than 50 counties in the world are carried, and their goods are rich and diverse, and they are not all detailed here. ”

This shows that specialized commodity production has begun to emerge (the above text is about Wei Jian's excavation of Guangyuntan in the first year of Tianbao, and I also mentioned this in my novel).

At this point in the development of business, is it possible for you to implement the policies of a hundred years ago?

It's like we're still going to engage in supply and marketing cooperatives and food stamps, do you think it's possible?

Moreover, in my book, there is also a special passage, "The policy of curfew for the Son of Heaven has been loosened in Yuzhang City, which is thousands of miles away."

It's just that I'm afraid that someone will misunderstand!

However, there are people who are selectively blind, and then make a lot of nonsense there, showing their "profound" knowledge!

Do you think you're learning about history by reading a few time-traveling novels?

Almost most of the time-traveling novels about the Tang Dynasty are Zhenguan period, Li Shimin, Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, Changshun Wuji and so on.

Then, Li Shimin must be ambitious, Qin Qiong must be half-dead, Cheng Biting Jin must be thick and fine, and Changshun Wuji must be insidious and cunning!

I can even guess the lines!

Tired or not?

When I wrote about the Tianbao period, the reason why I put my birthplace in Yuzhang was because my home was here, so it was convenient to find the local county records.

It's also to write a little bit of novelty!

If it is placed in Chang'an, writing Tang Minghuang, writing Yang Guifei, writing Li Bai, etc., "Smoke and Clouds of the Tang Dynasty" is in front of Zhuyu, I write these, it will be a little unbelievable!

The main theme of my book is on the "cycle theory of civilizations", which explores the collision between two different civilizations in a specific era, and then in such an environment, where should the protagonist go as a "traverser"! Where is the way out for the two different civilizations? What kind of love, hatred, and hatred between people of different strata will arise in the general environment?

The things discussed are inherently different! It is also a point that is different from traditional time-traveling novels, and I think it is also the highlight of this article!

……

Finally, it is still the same sentence, friends who are willing to stay, I really welcome!

I will not force my friends to leave!I1387
