Chapter 425: A paper that will cause an uproar in the world
"Professor Wang, your paper has been read by our jury, and we unanimously believe that it is a masterpiece of the study of Chinese classical civilization, especially if you can put aside your own Chinese standpoint and look at your Chinese civilization objectively, which our jury unanimously believes is commendable, so we unanimously decided that this year's Place Prize will be awarded to you. www.biquge.info It is even possible that our jury will come to your Huaxia to present you with an award. ”
In an office, Wang Lung sits in front of a computer. A Western face appeared in the computer, and although the person who appeared in the computer was a Western face, he obviously knew a lot about Chinese culture, not only could speak Chinese, but also could use Chinese idioms, he said to Wang Long.
The Westerner's name was Smith, and he was a heavyweight in Western history. Recently, he has been engaged in research on the ancient civilization of China, and to be specific, it is the **** civilization of China.
From his personal point of view, he does not believe that the Chinese civilization can have such a long time, the Shang Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty have a total of one or two thousand years, if it is true, then it is much earlier than the origin of Western civilization, the Aegean civilization.
How could the yellow-skinned Chinese civilization be earlier than the Western civilization, he didn't believe it, so he always wanted to prove that the **** two dynasties in China were fictional, and the Chinese civilization was actually only more than 3,000 years old. However, because there are too many ancient Chinese books, it is too difficult to prove that the **** two dynasties do not exist.
So he was at a loss, but at this time, this Chinese historian named Huang Long actually took the initiative to contact him and told him that he had made a new and important discovery.
"What can Chinese historians discover, it cannot be said that the history of their civilization has advanced for another thousand years." Smith was not interested in Huanglong's major discovery, but accepted his paper anyway.
This look directly excited him. He has always wanted to prove it, but there is no way to prove it, but it was actually proved by this Huang Long. Huang Long, a Chinese historian, not only did not defend the history of Chinese civilization, but wrote a paper to prove that the ancient history of China was all fiction, and the Shang Dynasty did not exist at all.
This made Smith overjoyed, he didn't know what Huang Long thought, and he didn't care whether his paper was rigorous or not, but after reading the article roughly, after seeing the conclusion, he immediately made a decision and decided to use his paper, not only to send this paper to the most authoritative journal, but also to award him the Priss Prize, which represents the highest award in the field of history.
Smith believes that when this article is published, it will definitely arouse strong protests from the Chinese academic community. But it doesn't matter, anyway, this was originally proposed by you Chinese historians, and his thesis seems to have some truth.
So Smith just had such a video call with Huang Long today, and he couldn't help it, looking forward to the publication of this paper and kicking Huaxia out of the ranks of the four ancient civilizations.
On Wang Long's side, when he heard the words of this Westerner, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he hurriedly spoke: "The view I have always believed is that science has no borders, although I am a Chinese, but I am also a historian with a scientific spirit. It has always been my career to use modern scientific historical research and archaeological techniques to study ancient Chinese civilization. Since science has proved that there is a problem with our ancient Chinese civilization, it is natural that I should follow this conclusion. ”
"Haha, our jury is to appreciate historians with a scientific spirit like Professor Huang. If there were more historians like you in China, I think your research on Chinese history would make a lot of progress. Smith laughed.
Hearing Smith's exaggeration, Huang Long's face also showed a joyful smile.
"But Mr. Huang Long, you have to be prepared, after we publish this article, it will definitely cause a strong backlash from your Chinese academic circles and even the entire country." Smith spoke again.
"I'm ready for that." "If my paper is fake, then I'm naturally a little worried about these backlashes, but I'm sure there are no problems with my research." Whatever backlash we have at home, I'm confident that we'll be able to handle it. ”
Huang Long said with confidence, he knew that once his paper was published, it would definitely cause an uproar in the country, but he believed that there was nothing wrong with his research, and the Shang Dynasty did not exist. So whatever happens in the country, he feels that he can handle it.
"That's good, Professor Huang, our jury will probably come to China to present you with an award in the near future, and I look forward to the day when I officially meet you." Smith laughed.
"I'm looking forward to it too." Huang Long laughed.
Throughout the call, Huang Long kept a smug smile on his face. Even after the call with Smith ended, his smile was still the same.
"Teacher, I still think your article is a little too sloppy." Beside Huang Long, a man in his twenties spoke, apparently a student of Huang Long.
"Your point of view is too radical, and your research time is too short, from project initiation to completion of the dissertation in less than a year. I think it's a bit too hasty to come to such a big conclusion in a year. The young man spoke.
This man was one of Huang Long's students, and he was involved in Huang Long's research on the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, he knows the bottom line about Huanglong's paper, and feels that this article is really a bit unreliable.
Such a big topic was actually studied in a year, and even Huang Long did not go to the history books to investigate. The sloppiness of the old Shang Dynasty sites recorded above is really too hasty, and the conclusions drawn are too astonishing.
The Shang Dynasty did not exist!
To be honest, he absolutely did not believe this conclusion. Even if the paper was written by his teacher, he absolutely did not believe it. The Shang Dynasty did not exist, what are you kidding, how could the Shang Dynasty not exist.
Even he had a faint bad guess in his heart, the reason why his teacher came to this conclusion so quickly was to become famous and open up his popularity internationally.
At present, the attitude of Western academic circles towards China is that everything that is beneficial to China is not recognized, and everything that is unfavorable to China is regarded as a treasure. His teacher came to this shocking conclusion, apparently pandering to the Western academic community.
"Is it sloppy?" Hearing his student's words, Huang Long smiled, "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, my thesis is very rigorous, where is a little sloppy." And if it's sloppy, why would Smith give me such an award? ”
Hearing his teacher's words, he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"By the way, you can post all the scrapped manuscripts of my paper on the Internet." At this time, Huang Long spoke again.
"Ah, if that's the case, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will cause an uproar on the Internet." Huang Long's student said.
"I'm just going to cause an uproar." Huang Long laughed. (To be continued.) )
