Since "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" became popular on the Central People's Radio, there has been a fixed section every day in the courtyard. That is, everyone rushed to read Govwin's manuscript for the first time and put forward their own opinions to Govin.

It can be said that before the final draft of Gowen's "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", it had been approved by various young talents in the courtyard.

On this day, everyone was listening to Li Xingmin reciting Gowen's latest manuscript in the east wing, and then the door was knocked in by Ning Suxin.

"Su Xin, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Ning Suxin was flustered and broke in, Li Xingmin stopped reciting.

The rest of the room also looked at this girl who had always been peaceful and elegant.

"Why are you here so late today?" Shu Ting greeted her with a hint of weirdness.

These days, Shu Ting and Ning Suxin have become sisters who talk about everything, and in the situation of more men and fewer women in the courtyard, the two have naturally become good sisters.

Ning Suxin was holding a newspaper in her hand, panting and leaning against the door frame, she didn't care about speaking, she just handed the newspaper in her hand to Shu Ting.

When Shu Ting was puzzled and opened the newspaper to read it, she relieved herself a little and said urgently: "What about Gowen?" ”

Govyn ...... I'm still in retreat in my study! Kitajima made a gesture of a monk knocking on the wooden fish and smiled.

"Hey, you're still in the mood for a joke! Hurry up and look at today's "People's Daily", on which Mr. Li Daguang criticized "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"! ”

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

“……”

Hearing Ning Suxin's words, the people in the room couldn't believe it.

When Shu Ting heard this, she quickly flipped through the "People's Daily" in her hand, and everyone else also gathered.

All the people present are either young people in literature and art, or young scholars in the ideological circles, and they are all a group of people with the highest academic qualifications in China at this stage, and everyone has naturally heard of Li Daguang's name.

"The fifth edition, the article is called "On the Ruffian"...... "Ning Suxin stomped his feet.

"What's written?"

"What did Mr. Li say?"

"How could such a thing happen!"

……

A group of people were clamoring to grab the newspaper in Shu Ting's hand.

"Don't make any noise, I'll read this article!" Shu Ting's eyes were all hands, and she couldn't help but shout.

When everyone quieted down, Shu Ting found this "Ruffian Theory" in the fifth edition, and then recited it aloud-

……

The original serious and boring history is narrated in the language of ruffians, and then strong personal feelings are added, catering to the most popular mentality, so that people with primary school education and knowledge of 3,000 commonly used Chinese characters can listen to it happily. This is the essence of the "fire" of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".

Therefore, my granddaughter, a primary school student, felt the purest, most truthful, unpretentious, and most straightforward comment after reading it, and my granddaughter said, "Brother Gowen's article is so funny and funny." ”

Yes, it's funny, that's all.

……

Before Shu Ting finished reading the article, everyone present burst into flames, and when Shu Ting finished reading it, everyone reprimanded them with righteous indignation.

"How can Mr. Li comment on "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" like this."

"Do you have to be a professional to study history?"

"Gowen's book is not an academic study, it is just a popular history book! Don't you want to go online like this! ”

"What's wrong with the ruffian? What's wrong with cross talk? The common people say that a good novel is a really good novel! ”

"That's right, no one can read the articles written by some old researchers in the field of historiography now, and the articles of Gowen's laughter and scolding are good articles!"

"Let the common people who do not have the habit of reading history re-understand history and start reading history again, this is a great achievement!"

"Hmph, this proves that China does not lack readers, but lacks reading content that interests readers! This is the fundamental reason why people don't read now! ”

……

For all of us present, Govin has witnessed Govine's hardships and efforts since he wrote this book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".

Who was there who hadn't instructed Gowen, gave Gowen advice, or helped Gowen search for information?

Now there are people who criticize Govine's efforts for being useless, and this irresponsible approach is not recognized by everyone at all, even if this person is an authority in the field of historiography and a famous person.

"Mr. Li Daguang is a big figure in the field of Chinese historiography, and he will definitely bring some trouble to Govine when he says this!" Zha Haisheng's face showed a hint of worry.

"By the way, do you want to tell Govyn about this?" Ning Suxin relieved himself and asked with some concern.

"Say anything, just distract Govyn! You know, Govin hardly ever steps out of the study door these days...... Besides, is what Li Daguang said right? Jiang He shouted loudly.

"That's right, Mr. Li Daguang doesn't know the purpose of Govwin's creation of this book, don't we all know yet? "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is not an academic study at all, this is a popular science book about history, which is written for the common people! Munch chimed in.

"Yes, Li Daguang can't be a jack of all trades, he doesn't know the meaning of this book at all!" Kitajima agreed.

"However, we all know Mr. Li Daguang's status and appeal in the field of historiography, and I am worried that many people will criticize and boycott this book when he says this!" Shu Ting said the worries in her heart worriedly.

"That's right, I just heard a few senior brothers at school say that they want to write articles criticizing Gowen's writing." Ning Suxin nodded and said. She will become a graduate student of the history department of Peking University as soon as the Chinese New Year begins, and these days she has been in contact with some seniors in the history department in advance, and today's newspaper was obtained from a senior sister.

"It's okay, Mr. Li Daguang can write an article criticizing "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", then we can also write articles to support "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", the current China is not the kind of one-word hall in the past! We can also make our voices heard in the newspapers! Li Xingmin helped his glasses and said with a serious face.

"That's right! It's like what Gowen wrote on the door frame...... "Hearing Li Xingmin's words, Gu Cheng's eyes lit up, and then pointed to a notice on the door of the east wing, and read it seriously, "I don't agree with your point of view, but I swear to defend your right to speak!" ”

When Gu Cheng recited this aphorism specially written by Govin in order to stop the ideological differences in the courtyard salon, everyone present recited it in unison.

Everyone's concern is not an exaggeration.

Although China has begun to reform and open up, emancipating the mind for several years, but the feudal society of heaven and earth, the three outlines and other poisons have always imperceptibly influenced everyone, not to mention that New China has always firmly believed in the cult of personality for decades, and the recognition of authority and worship have always been throughout, which is the existence of the era of information development in later generations.

Therefore, in a speech at Fudan University, Govin once said, "I love my teacher, I love the truth even more," and repeatedly emphasized that college students should have a modern intellectual outlook on life.

The older generation of historians may not be targeting Govin personally, but this killing blow will make many young people and some scholars speechless and obedient. Even those ordinary readers will probably begin to doubt whether what is said in "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is the real history, and doubt the purpose of Gowen's creation of this work.

Because for these historians, the common people may not understand what they do, but just like everyone present, the common people more or less know the names of some of these old gentlemen, and know that these old gentlemen are some high-ranking experts and authorities.

So even if the common people think that "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is very interesting and well written, it can let everyone know history and let everyone master a certain amount of historical knowledge, but since the experts are not right, there is also speculation about whether this real history is such a thing.

In this way, the good intentions of Govyn's creation will be in vain.

In particular, since Mr. Li Daguang's article on "On Ruffians" published in the "People's Daily" has already been published in the "People's Daily", it has naturally been officially recognized.

Does this mean that there is really a problem with "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" broadcast on the Central People's Radio?

Once the shadow of doubt is planted, it is almost impossible to remove it.

"I'm going to write an article refuting Mr. Li Daguang in a moment, and I have a good relationship with several editors of the Guangming Daily, and I'm trying to publish this article in Guangming Daily!" Li Xingmin put the manuscript of Govin that he had previously recited on the desk, and then said.

"I know the relationship of Wen Wei Po well, and I can submit articles there." Kitajima patted his chest and reassured.

"The Beijing News just contacted me a few days ago and said that it wanted to ask me for a manuscript, and I would see if I could try to publish a review of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty." Cha Haisheng, that is, Haizi, also nodded and said. Since Govin recommended Zha Haisheng's "Asian Copper" to "Harvest" for publication, Zha Haisheng's poetry creation career has been smooth sailing, and even his pen name Haizi was thought of by Govyn.

"I have no problem with Shanxi Evening News!"

……

"I should be able to publish an article in the school newspaper of Peking University." Ning Suxin said with some embarrassment. Among the statements of everyone present, she was still at the lowest level.

"It's okay, I think as long as we can all stand up and support Govyn and support "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", I think those who silently support Govin will have the courage to resist!" Li Xingmin looked at Ning Suxin with a smile and said.

"That's right! This is no longer the time for authority to have the final say! And they all agreed.

"Alright, let's let those old gentlemen know how good young people are!" Li Xingmin became a little excited.

As the creator of the first series of books "Exciting Times", Li Xingmin can be said to be one of the most talented and assertive young scholars of China's younger generation.

As one of the most prominent peers of his age, he was not willing to let Govyn be left alone.

Today it's time for him to show his edge to Govin and the world!

"Where is Govin ......" Seeing that everyone stood up and wanted to break up immediately, Ning Suxin thought of Govin.

"This matter, everyone will keep it secret for the time being, let Gowen quietly finish writing this "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"!" Li Xingmin heard Ning Suxin's worry, and instructed everyone while walking out.

"Huh...... No problem. ”

"Hehe, surprise Govin then!"

“NOProblom。”

……

As some old gentlemen in the field of historiography collectively spoke in various media, the praise of Govin and "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" in newspapers and radio disappeared for a while, and the sporadic ones were not systematic at all.

In this case, starting with Li Xingmin's article in Guangming Daily in which he replied to Mr. Li Daguang, a young people's struggle began to gather fire-

The publishing house has published many editions of the 24 histories, plus Qing history manuscripts, except for the two copies of "Historical Records" and "Three Kingdoms", which sold well, most of the rest were dusty.

Ordinary people, especially young people, came to watch "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", why? Just because of its unique context and popularity!

As Mr. Li said, people's hearts are impetuous nowadays, so everyone feels too tired to read those first-hand historical materials.

To say that this book is fun, yes, it is fun.

Finally, there is a history written in the context that ordinary people like to hear and see the most!

These days, I see many people in the newspapers saying that "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has affected his perception of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, many ordinary people simply cannot read it with a critical eye as professionals say.

The lack of understanding of the Ming Dynasty by the common people allowed them to absorb it. They trust it so much, not that it tells the right story, but that what it conveys is really good.

If you want to study a dynasty, it is indeed as Mr. Li said, you must carefully study and push from all aspects to do scholarship in order to approach the most authentic side impartially. But as an ordinary person, his need for history stems from his desire to expand his horizons.

So if Mr. Li disdains this set of books and criticizes it, I think it is sparse and ordinary. Because the real history has long been lost in the long river of time, it is difficult for people to feel and understand. I know very well that many historical records are extremely ridiculous, for example, too many historical books record conversations and describe the psychology of characters, which will deviate from the truth because of the author.

And what is really useful for a reader is the feeling that comes from reading it! It's a struggle for the reader's mind!

This is not because of a certain person, nor because of a certain event, but the accumulation of so many things and so many people that have happened in the past few hundred years, and the slight touching of the clouds under the majesty.

You argue with me about the true historical appearance, and you tell me that there is something wrong with Gowin's writing. So let me ask you, what does it mean to me? I am not denying the merits and purposes of the search for the truth of history, but for me these are precisely the irrelevance.

I think the real purpose of reading books is to be able to experience and see through it, to experience and feel what we have not felt, what we have not experienced, and not to see, and to achieve the strength of our minds through reading. And reading "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" brought me these benefits.

After the civil fort, he also besieged Beijing first, and Yu Qian's choice moved me. What struck me the most was his fear, his fear, but he still stepped forward to turn the tide and took the lead, and I didn't subside the excitement for a long time that night. I had a dream over and over again, in which I saw him hundreds of years ago, and I stood there, telling me with his figure what true bravery is.

I don't want to give such an example, because there are too many, and it is suitable for getting drunk with friends and then talking happily, not for writing slowly. Because these can only be your own gains, it is better to let yourself taste them slowly.

You picked up the book, read the rise and fall for a long time, the glory and disgrace of the princes and princes, and the changes in the situation, and there have been countless battles in your mind.

One day, you finally read the last chapter, read Xu Xiake's story, and read the sentence at the end: "There is only one way to succeed - to live life in your own way." ”

You suddenly quieted down, the princes and generals you had seen were still vivid, and the ups and downs of the Ming Dynasty were still surging in your mind, but at that moment, you felt that they were not important. Everything vanishes, you peel back the clouds, and finally see the author's good intentions, and where the whole work has landed.

Let many Chinese who no longer have the habit of reading start reading again, and Govin has made great achievements!

This also proves once again that the lack of reading content that readers are interested in is the fundamental reason why people don't read books now!
