Chapter 265: Reading more than 10,000 volumes

If we talk about the history of China, there are three dynasties that will be remembered by all Chinese: the Tang Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

The reason for this is that in China's 5,000-year history, only these three dynasties expanded their territory and left countless glorious marks.

China in the Tang Dynasty was the center of the world, and all countries came to congratulate, and the Silk Road in the Western Regions stretched for tens of thousands of miles.

The Han Dynasty was majestic and high-spirited, restored the old land, and countless historical figures emerged who could sing and cry.

As for the Ming Dynasty, it was not bad at all, the Yongle Emperor made five expeditions to Mongolia, Zheng He went to the West seven times, went south to seek peace in the south, and went north to conquer the Jurchens.

Therefore, if you want the Chinese people to relive the glory and greatness of history, you can only choose from these three eras.

And the most impressive history book in Gowen's previous life is "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"!

In the previous life, Mingyue's set of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has been the best-selling historiography since it came out. It has been rated as "Lifetime Five-Star Best Book", one of the top ten bestsellers in the country, and one of the top ten must-read books for primary and secondary school students in the country.

The reason why this set of books can have so many honors is that the author did not narrate the historical facts dryly like other history books, but used humorous language and novel penmanship to display the entire history of the Ming Dynasty in a panoramic way, making history a living life story. The most commendable thing is that almost all the stories are based on historical data, and there is not too much nonsense.

It can be said that "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is a purely grassroots work.

It's not high-minded, it's intimidating, it's close to the people, it's interesting, and it's something that anyone who doesn't like to read history books will read with relish.

Nowadays, Govin wants to let the people of China relive the glory of history, so he must make the vast majority of people happy to read the history books he has written. If it only aroused the interest of some experts and scholars, it would be contrary to his purpose.

And this "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" tells a moving story in witty and witty language, which can stimulate the interest of readers in the 5,000-year-old history and culture of the Chinese nation, and in the process of reading history, understand the glory of history and admire the demeanor of the sages and understand their path.

The so-called reading history can save oneself, and reading history can make one's ambition clear, and this is exactly the case.

It recalls the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Battle of Jingyan, the Yongle Grand Ceremony, the rule of Renxuan, and the changes of Tumubao......

reminds me of the self-made Zhu Yuanzhang, the seven trips to the West, the arrogant and domineering Jinyi Weidong Factory and the West Factory, the historical minister Yu Qian, the reform prime minister Zhang Juzheng, and the national hero Yuan Chonghuan......

That's right, that's it!

Slapping on the railing by the Houhai Lake, Govin blushed with excitement on his face.

Returning to the courtyard in a hurry, Govin didn't care about other people's greetings to him, and he didn't care about greeting others and rushed into the study.

He gasped for breath, calmed his excitement, sat down at his desk, spread out the paper, and picked up the pen.

On the top line of the manuscript paper, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced to write down those things in the Ming Dynasty.

Then the tip of the pen rests on the second line of the paper.

For a full quarter of an hour, there was no other handwriting on the manuscript paper except for the six words "those things in the Ming Dynasty".

The nib of the fountain pen was pressed hard by Govyn's right hand, and a cloud of ink flowed down from the fork of the nib, which stunned the manuscript paper and became a black mess.

Govin put down his pen a little helplessly.

Leaning back in the chair behind him, Govin felt a little discouraged.

Obviously there are so many stories in his mind, but he can't put pen to paper!

Because many stories are not sure if they are the same as historical facts.

In his previous life, he still had an impression of the general story of Mingyue's "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", but he couldn't remember the specific language and phrases clearly.

In other words, how did Mingyue write it back then?

"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is so easy and pleasant to read, and in his previous life, Govin also felt that Mingyue's success was a big luck, and it was very accidental. He believes that if you change someone casually, as long as your pen power is not too bad, as long as you have the innovative ideas of historical readers like Mingyue back then, it is possible to replicate the success of Mingyue back then. At that time, he forgot that there were not many people with the same historical knowledge as Mingyue back then.

After so long of study and practice, Gowen believes that he must be stronger than Mingyue back then.

In terms of innovation, Gewen has read the entire set of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and naturally he can imitate the witty and witty style of Mingyue back then, and it is even much stronger.

However, his research on the history of the Ming Dynasty was worse than that of Mingyue.

can't reach Cheng DΓΉ, who is as familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty as Mingyue back then, no matter how good his writing is and how many ideas he has, it is impossible to write "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"!

The result of forcibly writing can only be to create a plausible historical novel, which is not a historiographical reading book and has no historiographical value.

It seems that I still need to study the history of the Ming Dynasty more!

Govin left the study and said silently in his heart.

There are not too many people in the courtyard today, most of them are young scholars and teachers, discussing the gains and losses of avant-garde novels.

Because it's almost New Year's Day, and the final exams of the university are coming, the college students and some literature and art lovers who usually wander here have disappeared without a trace these days. In addition, these days, Gewen is also a little bearish about the party, and the literary salon has basically come to a standstill, and only some elites still gather in the courtyard from time to time to chat. Gone are the scenes of the demons dancing and in full swing in the sky.

Seeing Gewen slowly walking out of the study, a young teacher from Peking University lifted his glasses and asked a little strangely: "Gewen, I saw you in a hurry just now, what's wrong with you now?" ”

"I guess he's definitely out of love." Another teacher from Beijing Normal University laughed and joked.

As soon as he said this, he immediately aroused the ridicule of everyone present.

"He? Lovelorn? ”

"Haha......"

"Don't be kidding, who doesn't know that Govin is a natural monk and will fight a bachelor in this life."

"Yes, last time I brought the most beautiful and best female classmate in our school to introduce him to him, but he was good, he didn't care about others, he just bragged about ......"

"That's right, our female students at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing are all beautiful, but none of this kid can take a fancy to them!"

"This is the rhythm that is destined to be lonely for life!"

"I said, you can't just introduce Govyn to someone, I'm still single!"

……

"Hey, several, I said you can't be poor? Who is a monk? What does it mean to be lonely for life? Look at you! Govin couldn't help but roll his eyes as he looked at the few joking people in front of him.

"I'm going to test you. You teachers and scholars should know about Xu Zhimo, right? ”

"Hey, the kid looks down on people, doesn't he!"

"Nonsense."

"We're teachers!"

……

Govin waved his hand lazily and continued to ask: "Then have you read the "Xu Zhimo Divorce Notice" published after returning from studying in Cambridge, England? ”

Then, without waiting for everyone to answer, he said leisurely: "I will find my only soulmate in the vast sea of people." I'm lucky; No, my life. ”

"Tsk, why is it so sour?"

"That's right, all your teeth are going to be sour!"

"Let's be realistic, brother, this love at first sight was written by you writers to deceive!"

"Ambitious, I congratulate you on achieving your dreams as soon as possible."

"Hey, it seems that your love is still far away!"

……

"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, I'll ask you something."

After the joke, Govin earnestly consulted several university teachers and scholars present.

"I'm going to write something about the history of the Ming Dynasty recently, which of you is familiar with this piece of history? Are there any book recommendations on this? ”

"Ming Dynasty? I want to think about it...... In terms of historical books, there are "History of the Ming Dynasty", "Ming Tongjian", "Ming Shilu", "Ming History Chronicle" ......"

""Ming Ji Beiluo" also talks about the history of the Ming Dynasty, and "Guoyi" is also worth watching."

"If you just write about the Ming Dynasty, the history books they just said should be about the same, if you want to delve into it, I recommend that you take a look at "Matteo Ricci's Chinese Notes" and "Li Dynasty Records", both of which were written by foreigners, and it will be more interesting to compare them with historical books."

"The History of Southern Xinjiang", "The Supplementary Examination of the Chronicle of Xiao Shy", and "The Biography of Xiao Shy" are the most detailed records in the historical materials of the Southern Ming Dynasty, but this book is only available in the Zhonghua Book Company version, and has not been reprinted, so it is estimated that you can't see it if you want to see it...... However, it seems that there is a collector's edition in the library of Peking University. ”

……

"Holy! How do you know so much? "Govin was a little surprised, and at the same time a little big, there are so many ancient books in a Ming history!

"Nonsense! Anyway, we're also teachers, so it's normal to know a little bit about Ming history. The Peking University teacher at the beginning said angrily.

"Hehe, Comrade Xiao Ge was shocked by our erudition, haha......"

"Most of these ancient books are not easy to find, and they are remote and remote, I think it is better for you to read some historical documents written by modern scholars, there are more materials in the people's ancient books library in our capital, you can go and see them."

"Gowen, what are you going to write, tell me about it?"

……

"Alright, Bosses, you can move on. I went to the second-hand book market over there to see if I could pick up some books on the history of the Ming Dynasty. With that, Govin stood up and walked towards the courtyard gate.

"Hey, Govyn, what are we going to do when you're gone?" A scholar who came to the courtyard for the first time opened his mouth and asked.

"If you stay, you can find a way to eat yourself. If you leave, the lock will be hung on the door, so remember to lock the door when you leave. ”

Ge Wen waved his hand, walked out of the courtyard, and went straight to the Liulichang second-hand book market outside the Heping Gate in Xuanwu District, Beijing.
