Chapter 241: How Should History Be Written?
Zhang Dekai was very annoyed, in his opinion, what Lin Xiao wrote was obviously nonsense, but he couldn't refute it...... However, if he is silent like this, how can he, a professor of history at a famous Chinese university, be embarrassed?
Black! Of course it has to be black!
Soon, he was publishing new articles on his microblog.
"After reading the first chapter of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", I laughed and was speechless, I didn't expect that the innovation that Fuyao said was this kind of pediatric thing, can this be called writing history? There is no rigorous attitude at all, it will only mislead people who do not know much about history!
Fuyao's so-called modern popular methods are actually just grandstanding, and there is no nutrition at all! And the analysis is not in-depth, it's just some skin, this kind of book will have a bad impact on students, children, and even society!
I call on all professionals to stand up together, and don't let such articles poison us Chinese people! ”
The more Zhang Dekai talked, the more he got excited, and finally rose to the height of the Chinese people......
Zhang Hui basically read it at the first time when Lin Xiao updated it, and after reading it, she simply fell to the ground with Fuyao's admiration, she liked Fuyao's books, but for the first time, she felt that Fuyao was so admirable, this kind of talent is really indescribable.
First of all, it is not easy to write history so humorously, so straightforwardly, it is not easy in itself, it seems that some funny techniques are very simple, but in fact it is not, it is extremely difficult to use and arrange, these are not to mention for the time being, first of all, this way of writing, this kind of creativity, is extremely rare.
History is an esoteric science, because it involves too many things, not to mention the history of China for 5,000 years, just to explain the 300 years of the dynasty, how many things have happened during this period, how many celebrities have been? What did all these people do? What are the implications for history? What are the implications for diplomacy? What is the impact on people's livelihood? What decisions did the emperors make? What is the final role and outcome of these decisions?
Blah blah blah, history is too complicated for anyone to write. Because of this, many people can't analyze it in depth, and readers don't see it very thoroughly and can't understand the situation at that time. But Lin Xiao's book is different, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" perfectly solves this problem, as long as readers look at it, they will be naturally attracted, and even look forward to the next content.
Let's talk about the first chapter of this time. Basically, some people are looking forward to the update of the second chapter, not because Fuyao is out of context, but because he writes interestingly, can make serious history vivid, and many of the words he uses are now understandable at once, and there are vivid metaphors, explaining the things of the time with the things of the present, the metaphors, at a glance, and impressive.
Zhang Hui is very devoted. I am also looking forward to the follow-up content, and when she saw the reprinted article of Professor Zhang Dekai, she immediately replied under Zhang Dekai's microblog.
"As a history expert, Professor Zhang Dekai has a lot to say about this matter, but what I want to say is that without violating the historical truth, make the story vivid and easy for everyone to understand, what's wrong? It's more helpful for us to understand history, and I think it's a move. It's a reform, an innovation that can change the direction of history books, just like when he started a new martial arts novel before, what's so strange? That's how history should be! "Although Zhang Hui and Zhang Dekai are from this family. But there is no sense of favoritism.
Zhang Hui is a rational person, there are no fierce words, just analyzing the benefits of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and others are not as rational as Zhang Hui.
However, Zhang Dekai is not fighting alone. Niu Huangshan, a famous Chinese historian, stood up to support Zhang Dekai, Niu Huangshan is a recognized historian in China, and has studied history very much, and has written such a thick history book as "Five Thousand Years of China", which is mainly for the analysis of major events in all eras of China from ancient times to the present, which is very valuable for research, and what he advocates is that history should be rigorous, without the slightest deviation, and academic research must have a correct attitude, and he does not like Lin Xiao's seemingly child's play writing method.
He said in his micro-blog: "History, is our mirror, through the study of history, we can get a lot of lessons and reflection, so, in the creation of history books, we must repeatedly check the information, and there can be no private changes, in fact, the creation of history books, more similar to sorting, plus their own objective analysis, can become a historical reading, but like Fuyao this kind of hip-hop writing method, first of all, in terms of attitude, is not rigorous enough, not upright enough, this is a taboo."
History itself is a serious matter, which cannot be desecrated, and we must respect history, so to write true history to the best of our ability is to respect history and be responsible to our readers.
After reading "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", although I didn't find any wrong information in the first chapter, this kind of writing technique will make the mistakes of this book continue to increase, even if it is a good idea to innovate like Fuyao, but if you ignore history itself in order to pursue writing techniques, it will inevitably put the cart before the horse, so I advise you to write a novel with peace of mind, history is a piece, you don't need to mix. ”
Huang Niushan said very politely, and directly said that Lin Xiao should not be mixed up in this circle, and the great task of compiling historical readings should be handed over to them professionals!
After Lin Xiao read this microblog, he was a little annoyed, the more famous scholars and experts are, the more they are self-righteous, and when they encounter something that does not suit their appetite, they will be degraded to nothing...... If this continues, how can the Chinese literary circle continue to develop, and how can the history of China be easily carried forward?
How should history books be written, it seems that only these experts and scholars have the right to say, writers have no right to speak at all, Lin Xiao is not afraid of criticism, he has long been used to it, but he thinks that the attitude of Niu Huangshan, Zhang Dekai and others is really wrong, and it may be misled to do this.
What is History? It's what happened.
Therefore, as long as the authenticity of history is ensured, so that readers can enjoy reading and be impressed, what kind of writing technique does it matter?
Lin Xiao didn't defend himself directly, because he knew that if he defended himself at this time, he would be weak and cowardly, which would make Huang Niushan and Zhang Dekai even more desperate.
Lin Xiao used other methods. (To be continued.) )
