Chapter 376: Historiographical Debate
Xiao Fei smiled lightly: "If you don't believe it, you can go and check it out yourself." ”
He smiled lightly, freely, and his graceful demeanor was fully revealed.
Compared with Zheng Xingyu, who stood in front of Xiao Fei, who looked wrinkled and had a lewd personality, the contrast was too great.
"Okay, you're right about this one, so let's move on to the other two proofs." Zheng Xingyu's momentum was already a little low, and he said.
Xiao Fei smiled and continued: "This second proof is that after the Shang Revolution changed the Xia Dynasty, there were actually a lot of Xia royal families with the same surname to be feuded, for example, until the Zhou Dynasty, the Xia royal family's feudal kingdoms with the same surname were still continued. This is the most powerful proof that the Xia Dynasty ever existed! Senior, do you agree with me? ”
Xiao Fei said that there are conclusive historical records, and there are unearthed cultural relics to corroborate.
This is also recognized by the historiographical circles.
Even if Zheng Xingyu wanted to deny it, he didn't dare, and the spitting stars of the surrounding classmates could drown him.
"Well, you're right." Zheng Xingyu pretended to wave his hand generously and said.
He was twitching in his heart, thinking to himself, it seemed that this topic was difficult for Xiao Fei. Zheng Xingyu could never have imagined that Xiao Fei's grasp of historical materials was so rich and extensive.
What a wickedness!
Xiao Fei nodded and continued: "This third proof is that according to the latest archaeological discoveries and research results of the Erlitou culture, the domestic historians generally believe that the first to fourth periods of the Erlitou culture earlier than Yinxu belong to the Xia culture period. Senior, are you still satisfied with my answer? ”
I heard Xiao Fei talk about Erlitou culture.
Zheng Xingyu's face was full of disbelief.
The in-depth excavation and research of Luoyang Yanshi Erlitou culture is only good in the past two years, and it is just that there is a lot of trouble in the historical circle, and no one pays attention to it among ordinary people, right?
Unexpectedly, Xiao Fei even knew this.
At present, the mainstream view of domestic historiography does believe that Longshan culture and Erlitou culture belong to Xia culture, Erlitou is the location of a royal capital in the Xia Dynasty, and the Xia and Shang dynasties intersected in Longshan culture and Erlitou culture for a long time.
As Mr. Wang Guowei said, the excavation of Yinxu is the study of oracle bone inscriptions. It verifies the complete correctness of the lineage of the Shang Dynasty recorded in the historical records.
“…… The culture of the second generation of Xia Shang is slightly the same. …… Culture is as diverse as politics is true. What Mr. Wang Guowei means is that in fact, there are misunderstandings about Xia in later generations, in fact. The Xia and Shang were culturally similar and politically similar.
Mr. Wang Guowei's meaning is very clear, he believes that Xia should undoubtedly exist.
"But, as of now. The royal lineage of the Xia Dynasty has never been found in the archaeological records before the Shang Dynasty, including the Erlitou cultural sites you mentioned, and there are no records of the Xia royal family, how can this prove that the Erlitou ruins are the ruins of the Xia culture? A bit far-fetched, right? I think the three proofs you just mentioned are far-fetched and do not prove the existence of Xia. ”
Zhou Chao saw that Zheng Xingyu was powerless to parry, so he had no choice but to go into battle shirtless and said:
"The "Book of Shang" you are talking about has been proven to be a fake book, and the record of Dayu in the Book of Poetry is nothing more than people's remembrance of a legendary hero. It can't prove the existence of Xia at all, as for what you said, the continuation of the Xia royal family's feudal kingdom in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, what evidence do you have to prove that those feudal kingdoms are the feudal kingdoms of the descendants of the Xia royal family? ”
This is the mode of tearing up the war.
Xiao Fei smiled, spread his hands and said, "You said that my proof cannot prove the existence of Xia, but I think that the three proofs I cited are enough to prove the existence of Xia, which is the so-called difference of views." If the two of us start a debate now, I guess standing here for three days and two nights will not be able to convince each other, Senior Brother Zhou, I see. Let's save effort and don't waste spittle, how about it? ”
Of course, Xiao Fei knew Zhou Chao, and last time he came to Peking University to participate in the independent admissions interview. He had seen Zhou Chao.
said that Zhou Chao had already rolled up his arms and sleeves, ready to have a big argument with Xiao Fei.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Fei threw out such a sentence.
This made him feel like a punch on the cotton, and his strength was nowhere to go.
Zheng Xingyu gave Xiao Fei two questions, not only did he not stump Xiao Fei. On the contrary, it made him a little limelight. Zhou Chao felt very upset about this.
If it weren't for the fact that the person who asked him for help couldn't be offended, Zhou Chao didn't bother to give up his body and couldn't get along with Xiao Fei.
By now, Zhou Chao has been a little difficult to ride a tiger.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll ask this third question, is it okay?" ”
Xiao Fei nodded: "Of course you can, Senior Brother Zhou hurry up and ask, I think this meeting is like a farce now, it's better to end it early." ”
Xiao Fei was a little impatient, so he was not very polite to Zhou Chao.
"Okay, the third question is, since the Qin Dynasty, why have all the imperial courts pursued a policy of valuing agriculture and relying on commerce? Could you please explain why? Zhou Chao said.
It's a big topic.
Heavy agriculture and suppression of commerce is the basic national policy of the rulers of all dynasties after entering the feudal society, and even the Song Dynasty, which was developed in commerce, also had a policy of suppressing commerce.
Why did the rulers of the feudal empire do this?
In fact, there have been similar questions in the history essay question of the liberal arts college entrance examination, Xiao Fei has a deep impression of this question, and in his previous life, he also saw fierce debates about it in some literary and historical forums.
So, this question really doesn't bother him.
Xiao Fei cleared his throat and said calmly: "This is because China is a traditional agrarian country, since the Qin Dynasty, the source of the state's tax collection is agriculture, agriculture is the foundation of the country, this is the established understanding of the ruler, this is one of them; Second, the expansion of commerce will damage the production of agriculture, will cause the gap between the rich and the poor to increase rapidly, more importantly, for a long time, the commercial tax is difficult to collect, no matter how developed the business, but it is difficult to bring any income to the country, the rulers think that it disrupts the order of agricultural production, therefore, the emperors of the past dynasties will rarely have a cold to commerce; Third, the development of the commercial economy will bring about the enlightenment of the people, and it is not conducive to the rule of the feudal rulers. ”
However, the Song Dynasty was an exception, both the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, the attitude towards commerce was relatively enlightened, and because of this, the commerce of the two Song Dynasty was very developed, and the commodity economy was prosperous, which also led to the prosperity and development of the whole society. Some historians have studied that the main income of the state in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty was no longer dependent on agricultural taxes, but on commercial taxes. This shows that the emancipation of commerce is indeed conducive to economic development. ”
"Senior Brother Zhou, I'm smiling."
Xiao Fei did not elaborate on this issue.
This is because the issue of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business is too big, and if we want to elaborate in detail and make it clear little by little, it will not be able to be finished in a while.
Zhou Chao grinned.
How so? Xiao Fei's answer is definitely not professional enough, but it can be regarded as to the point.
The common understanding of this issue in the domestic historiographical circles is nothing more than that.
What to do? Zhou Chao was very conflicted in his heart, if he wanted to make Xiao Fei embarrassed today, I am afraid it would be impossible. Then you might as well behave with grace.
He was about to praise Xiao Fei a few words, but outside the crowd, someone applauded loudly.
"Good! Xiao Fei answered these three questions well, which is a bit interesting. Someone praised it.
Zhou Chao's face changed.
He knew who it was.
The crowd parted, and Lu Zelin walked over with a smile behind his back, raised his hand and patted Xiao Fei's shoulder, with a look of appreciation on his face.
As the head of the history department, Lu Zelin is naturally very concerned about the admission of new students, and he is also faintly worried that Xiao Fei did not come to report in the morning.
He was worried that Xiao Fei would be different again, such as suddenly announcing that he did not plan to report to Peking University because he had completely lost interest in studying at Peking University......
That would be so embarrassing to him.
Therefore, in the afternoon, Lu Zelin heard that Xiao Fei came to report, so he came out of his office and walked to the registration point.
He didn't expect that he happened to meet Zheng Xingyu to make things difficult for Xiao Fei, saying that Xiao Fei's nature did not conform to the spirit of the department training, and if he wanted to go through the registration procedures smoothly, he had to answer three questions.
At that time, Lu Zelin was very angry.
He said in his heart, what kind of moth.
But Lu Zelin did not step forward to stop it, but chose to stand by and watch, he also wanted to see Xiao Fei's improvisation.
Xiao Fei's performance, Lu Zelin is very satisfied.
As a freshman, it is already very rare to be able to answer such a difficult question, which shows that Xiao Fei is also very interested in history every day, and he must have read a lot of relevant books, if not, he would not be able to answer Zheng Xingyu's first two questions.
"Thank you, Professor Lu." Xiao Fei smiled and nodded at Old Man Lu.
Seeing Lu Zelin appear, Zheng Xingyu, Zhou Chao and others hurriedly greeted him, and Zhou Chao was even more ashamed, with an uneasy look in his eyes.
Zhou Chao was very worried about whether the teacher would have prejudices against him because of the scene just now.
Hearing Zhou Chao say hello to himself, Lu Zelin snorted, turned his face away, but smiled at Xiao Fei and said, "Xiao Fei, let's talk about it later, you go through the admission procedures first." ”
"Okay, thank you Professor Lu for your concern." Xiao Fei expressed his gratitude.
Lu Zelin nodded, turned his head to look at Zhou Chao with a straight face, and said, "You come with me." With that, he walked straight to his office.
Next, Xiao Fei handled all kinds of procedures much faster, with the help of some senior brothers and sisters, but everything was completed in more than half an hour.
Zheng Xingyu was in a hurry, helping Xiao Fei carry his luggage, and had to send him to the bedroom.
Seeing that he looked like he was going to atone for his sins, Xiao Fei did not refuse his free coolie, so he followed Zheng Xingyu, who was sweating profusely, and walked towards his dormitory.
Not far behind him, Xu Huacong's face was depressed, he didn't expect that it would be so difficult for him to lose face for Xiao Fei once. (To be continued.) )
