Beginning with Li Xingmin's article in Guangming Daily in which he replied to Mr. Li Daguang, a rebellion began with the young people of the courtyard literary salon as the core.

No matter how fierce the quarrels and debates in the courtyard were before, this time everyone's hearts were twisted into a rope.

As for the views of the old-timers in the field of historiography, everyone did not blindly follow them, nor did they shout for Govin from a purely emotional standpoint.

This time, everyone really thinks that those old-timers are wrong, and they think that those old-timers in the field of historiography are too dogmatic and rigid.

As Govin had always instilled in them,

You may disagree with us, but we will defend our right to speak to the death!

The elite of a society must have their own sober will, independent thinking and ability, free spirit and humanistic ideals, be concerned about the development of the country and the livelihood of the people, be able to stand up bravely in the face of injustice, and dare to speak the truth and do practical things......

Subtly, everyone really awakened their will and ability at this moment, and knew how to pick up the pen to uphold the justice in their hearts.

Therefore, when all the newspapers and radio stations died down because of the rebuke of the historians, some people bravely stood up!

……

The old gentlemen in the field of history think that Govin is joking, but tracing back to the source, the ridicule and humor in "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" have not deviated from the real history, at most they only add his own thoughts in the blanks.

Moreover, the positioning of this work is only at the level of popularizing history and the story of the Ming Dynasty, in order to arouse people's interest and arouse their pride, and there is no trace of the meaning of arguing and competing with the Ming Dynasty.

So when the old gentlemen say that the people who like this book are on the platform, on the other hand, are the old gentlemen themselves also on the platform?

Nowadays, when many of us are looking for answers, we will deliberately search for the information of those philosophers in foreign countries, is this the moon in foreign countries is rounder than in China? As everyone knows, in the 5,000-year history of our country, what kind of things have happened, and what kind of cases have all kinds of wonderful answers, just like what Tang Taizong said, with history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall.

Not only the history of the Ming Dynasty, but also the more you read Chinese history, the more you look at social problems differently than many people, you can see the root causes behind them, and you can think more deeply. What grows in the chest is the overall situation, and it will look at and analyze things more comprehensively.

In fact, it seems that even a historical blank person like my mother can talk to me about some small stories of the Ming Dynasty after listening to the radio of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", can't such an influence be called the credit of the author!

――Chen Danqing, China Youth Daily

……

In order to listen to the radio broadcast of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", I transferred classes with other teachers several times, although I once saw the manuscript of this book, but this book has such a charm, which makes you want to constantly review and review those histories and those characters.

I remember the first time I read Govyn's manuscript, I was often amused by some passages in the manuscript.

This is not to say that Govin is joking with ruffians, when you eliminate the interference of words and really experience the story, you will find that there is so much glory and blood in the history of the Ming Dynasty!

I think the most wonderful part of Gewen's writing is the political struggle of the cabinet during the Jiajing period, Sanyang, Xia Yan, Yan Song, Yan Shifan and his son, Xu Jie, you sing and I appear, and then Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng in the Longqing and Wanli periods, every character is portrayed extremely distinctly, and people can't help but sigh that officialdom is like a battlefield.

Also, what impressed me was Yu Qian's defense of Beijing, and I still remember when he said "Deshengmen, Yu Qian!" "When I burst into tears, I burst into tears." The story of "The city is here, the city is dead and I am dead" is all shocking and moving.

The greatest beauty of Gowen's book compared to the dry words in the textbook is that it makes everyone like history.

It is to let everyone want to understand the glorious imprint of China for 5,000 years.

It is so that everyone will not feel that this 5,000-year-old history is a useless waste paper pile.

It is to make history no longer "Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms in 221 BC" and "Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties" in everyone's eyes, but people who want to understand each other, as well as the laws of historical development behind these characters.

This is the biggest beauty of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"!

-- Jin Guantao, author of the first volume of the book series, "Behind the Appearance of History," a researcher at the Institute of History of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a young teacher at the Department of History at Peking University, wrote in the Southern Metropolis Daily.

……

As a reader who was able to witness Gowen's manuscript with my own eyes, I read "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" dozens of times, and each time I read it, it brings me different feelings and feelings.

For the first time, I felt that this writing was very funny, which made people review the history in the midst of talking and laughing, and at the same time sorted out the chronological order of the Ming Dynasty, but for the detailed memory of the characters, it is often to look at the back and forget the front.

The second time, many touching and heartfelt places were excavated one by one, and those stereotypical narratives printed in the official history were turned into moving chapters by Govine's painstaking efforts, which made people cry instantly.

For the third time, I saw the modern connections behind many evaluations of the political system of the time, allowing myself to associate historical similarities. At the same time, it seems to really understand the decline and fall of many dynasties. The laws of Chinese history never seem to change.

The fourth time began to try to find relevant information, the places that were not clearly portrayed, tried to restore them through their own thinking, and began to dialectically analyze some of the ideological fluctuations of the characters at that time.

After the fifth time, not only the history of the Ming Dynasty, but also his former favorite era began to look back, trying to restore the once faint and old-fashioned lines of text into a picture of thousands of troops or chivalrous bones.

I will revisit the troubled times at the end of the Qin Dynasty, revisit the personalities and characteristics of Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and other characters, judge the scene at that time with my own thoughts, and then analyze the characters on my own in combination with some records of historical records, and then through some behaviors and reactions of these characters in the present, I will deduce the historical origins that passed away two thousand years ago.

Just like Yang Shen's Linjiang Immortal: the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.

What about the sixth time?

The sixth time I watched it, it wasn't any plot and fun.,What I got this time.,Actually, I didn't expect it myself.。 The sixth time, what I gained was the truth of being a human being.

I think of Confucius's saying: "If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless." This sixth time I am reflecting while watching, it seems that every time I see a character, I will think about his strengths and weaknesses by myself, and then connect with myself, and every time I will give myself some advice on life, work, or dealing with people.

This one seems a bit hard to explain.

Just like when you see Zhu Yuanzhang from a beggar to an emperor, he relied not only on the opportunity of the chaos in the world at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, but also on his own inner strength and unremitting efforts. In reality, this is similar to the sentence that when the opportunity comes inadvertently, whether you are ready or not.

-- Hai Zi, "The Beijing News"

……

This book has made many young people and even some elders in China understand that the original history books can be written so beautifully, and the past can be so wonderfully restored, which makes many people fall in love with reading history.

Our country has a history of 5,000 years, and the rigor of the 24 histories is impeccable, but under the general trend of reform and opening up, the pace of people's lives has begun to accelerate, and sometimes we don't even have time to think about our own lives, and we don't have much time and energy to meditate on the old-fashioned history.

And Govern uses a witty approach, but does not lose the trajectory of departing from the official history, with his own penmanship, not only writes witty and humorous, but also makes people love to read; The most important thing is that the characters in the history of the Ming Dynasty are all restored vividly, and when you read the book, you can even feel those vivid scenes hundreds of years ago.

From Zhu Yuanzhang's inner feelings when he was down-and-out and the inner fluctuations before the war with Chen Youliang, to Zhu Di's repeated confusion on the way to the rebellion, and then Zhu Qizhen's exile in the northern country, Zhu Qiyu's suspicion of his brother, to the weak character of the crown prince Zhu Jianshen, and the little prince Zhu Youjiao, who was able to live in the harem for five years without being discovered by Concubine Wan, and the upright and bloody nature of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty......

……

As far as the discipline of history is concerned, even the canonical history classics will be integrated into the author's feelings.

"Historical Records" wrote Xiang Yu into the book that only emperors could enter, and it was an exaggeration to describe Xiang Yu: Xiang Wang is more than eight feet long, and he can carry the tripod and be very angry. In fact, this conveys Sima Qian's reverence for Xiang Yu's personal heroism, and does not judge heroes by success or failure, so the author will always have tendencies in terms of emotion.

Traditional and decent feudal officials like Sima Qian, Wei Zheng, Ouyang Xiu and so on. They all have a strong sense of responsibility when writing history, plan for the world, write straightforwardly, and serve as a warning to future generations. Having said that, even if it is official history, will historians be able to restore history freely under the weight of politics?

"Gaozu Benji" writes that before Gaozu was born, Liu Yuan used to rest on the shore of Daze and had sex with God in a dream. In fact, this is a compromise with feudal orthodoxy.

Regarding the authenticity of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", we can't think that Govin put his own emotions into the book and think that the book is not real, I think more importantly-

Each of us listeners got what we wanted in this book.

There is an understanding of morality, there is a sigh for Qian, Zuo Guangdou teachers and students, Yang Lian, Huang Zongxi, and the reverence for the integrity of the intellectuals of the Ming Dynasty who sacrificed their lives for the righteousness of the country, all of which make us feel full of strength after reading.

I thought, that's enough.

……

This article was like a series of submissions, and it appeared in the newspapers one after another.

Encouraged and called by these articles, the young scholars and young listeners who were originally photographed in the shadow of the authority of their predecessors in the field of historiography were all shocked.

The commentators who appeared in the newspaper this time and supported Govin were all elites of the younger generation, not to mention Gu Cheng, Haizi, Beidao and others, such as Li Xingmin and Jin Guantao were also outstanding among young scholars, and Chen Danqing was a famous painter of the younger generation.

So many young people stood up and confessed their feelings, disagreeing with the views of the old-timers with a serious and stubborn attitude, which made everyone's original worried mood open up all of a sudden.

Don't obey orders, dare to question authority.

It is necessary to have an independent mind and a clear will.

Dare to speak, dare to act.

More and more young people are standing up, they are starting to gather fire, they are starting to express their feelings!

And such a situation is naturally a big surprise to those old gentlemen in the field of historiography, and it seems that such a great rebellion has not been seen for many years.

As a result, the old gentlemen who insisted on their own ideas had to frown, take bitter words, and patiently refute and persuade re-education. And some young people who regard these predecessors as ancestors and idols also scold and support their teachers and predecessors as much as possible.

All the gods, you will stop me on the field.

For a time, in the newspapers and on the radio, there was a lot of controversy about "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" about Gowen.

Some people denounced Gowen as "a mandarin duck and butterfly faction in the field of history, selling civic novels similar to talented and beautiful women."

Someone retorted, "What's wrong with citizen novels? China's four great masterpieces are not citizen novels in the era of authors' creation? During the Republic of China, Liang Qichao's new style was regarded as a wild fox Zen by orthodoxy, and now it has not been recognized? If you are asked to write some ancient texts such as those who know it, do you dare to say that you can write it? ”

Some people commented that Govin was not a historian, but a monk who had become a monk halfway through, and that his academic writings were not rigorous enough.

Some people ridicule them for not being able to eat grapes and sour grapes, and people Govin has no intention of solving any major problems, people just want to tell a story, pass on a little Guangweizheng, do something meaningful to the Chinese people, popularize historical knowledge and earn a little money by the way.

……

Public opinion has been artificially divided into two factions, and both sides are fiercely arguing.

What remains unchanged is "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" broadcast on time at 3 o'clock in the afternoon by the Voice of China of the Central People's Radio every day.

What remained unchanged was that Govin sat quietly in the study, frowning and studying the history books, and then happily wrote about those people and things in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

……

Here I would like to solemnly recommend a book "Rebirth: The Foot-Picking Man Becomes a Male God", and the traitor has been chasing recently. It's very well written, the writing is funny, the plot is full, it's not white, it's not watery, I guess everyone will like it. (To be continued.) )
