Although Ye Xing is a professor hired by the college, after all, on the first day of class today, Liu Yan stayed, because she was afraid that Ye Xing would be uncomfortable, and she could help in time. As for her sitting down to listen to the lecture, this is normal, don't look at everyone is a faculty member of the history department, but one is a teacher and the other is a professor, and there are many different levels, and it is normal for teachers to come and listen to the professor's lectures.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will tell you about your introduction to modern history this semester, and I am also honored to have this opportunity to study with you. ”

This is just an ordinary polite remark, and the students below also said in unison: "We are also honored." ”

After saying the polite words, Ye Xing turned around, picked up the chalk, and wrote a few words on the blackboard behind him.

The students also looked up with some curiosity and looked at what Ye Xing was going to write.

I saw that he wrote a few words on a very clean board: "History lovers, historians, history experts." ”

After writing these three words, Ye Xing turned to look at the students below.

"The question I'm going to make sure is, what kind of category do you fall into now?"

After the students were stunned for a moment, some said they were historians, others said they were history buffs, and a few even bragged that they were history experts.

Quietly watching their movements, Ye Xing turned around again and slowly erased the words "Ai", a historian and a historian.

"Right now, the whole classroom is full of history buffs. ”

Hearing his judgment, some of the students below were immediately a little unconvinced, many of them are very fond of history, so they asked themselves to read a lot of books, saying that history experts are bragging, but at least they are historians.

Everyone's reaction was not unexpected by Ye Xing, he said with a smile: "I know that many students must be unconvinced, you think that you have read a lot of books and know history very well, so it is impossible to just be a history lover." ”

Ye Xing said this, which naturally made many students deeply convinced, and many of them can be regarded as history scholars on the Internet, and have answered many netizens' questions. Some are even major forums, stickers of the history section of the bar.

"However, I only want to ask you one question, when you study modern history, what is the psychological feeling of seeing the devastated China of that era?"

Ye Xing's words made the students under the podium silent.

That period of history is a shame in the 5,000-year history of China, and a history that the sons and daughters of China will never forget.

Shame, resentment, sadness, grief......

Ye Xing wrote more than a dozen sets of words on the blackboard in a row, and then looked at everyone and said: "I believe that when we understand that period of history, we must have all of the above feelings in our hearts, if not all, at least there will be some of the above." ”

Everyone saw the words on the blackboard and fell silent.

Yes, everyone's mood changes to a greater or lesser extent when they see that kind of history.

Ye Xing saw that everyone was silent, so he continued: "I can tell you very clearly that the first thing a qualified historian and a professional historian should do is to feel history, but then they must jump out, give up their personal feelings, and look at history and understand history with a fair and just eye." If you can't do that, then you're a history buff. ”

Ye Xing's words made everyone fall into deep thought, they had never thought about it before, but now that Ye Xing said this, everyone was quiet, even the students who bragged about their experts before also fell into deep thought.

"So, teacher, what about you, do you consider yourself a hobbyist or an expert scholar?" said a girl timidly.

Everyone turned their eyes to the girl. The girl shrunk her neck slightly, and her face turned red.

When Ye Xing heard this, he smiled: "I said a long time ago that there are only history lovers in this classroom. ”

The students were slightly stunned, then smiled.

"Learning has no borders, but scholars have national boundaries, learning needs to be neutral, but scholars have a position, we need a neutral attitude when we are studying, but when I am in class, I have my own attitude, what I want to tell you is that when we study, we need to keep our eyes open, from the vast volume of history to find the real history, do not follow the clouds, and do not be affected by their own preconceived ideas. It's not that the classmates will lose their hot-blooded youth and their identity as angry youth. ”

He blinked, and the students laughed again.

Ye Yixue also smiled slightly, at least as a teacher, Ye Xing's performance was still good.

"So, let's get to the lecture. Although we are an introduction to modern history, we will still combine some ancient history in the lecture, so when it comes to ancient history, students should not say that I am off topic. ”

While Ye Xing spoke, he turned around, and then wrote a line of words on the blackboard.

Women are woes.

"The students have a good foundation in history, and our lectures are conducted in the form of special topics, and I will do my best to let the students have a clearer understanding of that era. First of all, who do students think of when they see this sentence?

After seeing this sentence, the students below all began to talk about it word by word.

The girls are also very active.

"Daji?"

"Empress Lu?"

"Wu Cao?"

"Yang Guifei?"

"Queen Mother West?"

There are many answers, Ye Xing nodded slightly.

"Very well, you have found a lot of recognized disasters in such a short period of time. ”

It sounded like a joke, but none of the students were laughing. I saw Ye Xing's chalk leave the words 'Queen Mother West' on the blackboard.

This name, students may not be unfamiliar, many people think that she has brought us countless humiliation, if it were not for her, we may not be so uncomfortable learning the history of this era at this time. ”

Quite a few students nodded.

"Teacher, to be reasonable, if it weren't for some of her later behaviors, I'm afraid that history would really have taken another path at this time. ”

The student who said this had big-framed eyes, and he looked at Ye Xing seriously.

Ye Xing nodded and asked him to sit down, and then sighed deeply.

"History never talks about ifs. When everything happens and becomes history, we need to think about why. However, since we are going to say what if, then let's look at the cause and effect, in this year......"

Ye Xing wrote a year on the blackboard.
