"Explore the antiquities of the previous dynasties and discuss the vicissitudes of history. Hello audience, welcome to the new season of "Tracing the Ancients", I am the host Xiao Cai.

"This season's tracing of antiquities will not only visit and excavate the original sites of various monuments, but also go to major museums across the country, leading everyone to experience the beauty of antiques for hundreds of thousands of years, as well as the moving stories hidden behind these antiques.

"Today we are going to the National Museum in the capital, where we will see some antiques with deep historical charm, please follow my footsteps to reveal their faces."

After a long shot shows the appearance of the largest museum in the country, the camera finally focuses on a few beautiful paintings and calligraphy hidden in a glass case, and then the camera quickly focuses, not only so that the picture and font on it are presented in the clearest form, but also a close-up of the label on the glass cabinet - Yue. Zhao Ji's calligraphy and painting.

A few seconds later, the picture returned to the host, and at this time there was a man in his fifties beside him, with half-thin hair and gold-wire glasses: "The one next to me must be able to recognize him at first glance as long as he is an audience who often follows our program, yes, he is a Song Liao historian, Professor Mei Ciren Mei." Professor Mei, let's say hello to the audience and netizens first. ”

"Hello audience friends, I'm Mei Ciren, and I'm very happy to meet you again." Mei Ciren is also an old guest on this show, so he behaved quite casually, laughing and talking, and waving his hand at the same time.

"If you want to say that the antiquities we want to appreciate and discuss today, it is these ancient paintings, and this is what Professor Mei suggested to the column group before, but I don't know what special significance these paintings have?"

"Then I'm going to test Xiao Cai, do you know who Zhao Ji, the author of these paintings and calligraphy, is?"

"Yue Ren Zhao Ji? Hehe, although I am not a person who specializes in history, I still know the last emperor of the Song Dynasty, but why is it not written here that Song and Zhao Ji are written, but Yue? ”

"It seems that you are still very familiar with the history of Song Liao and the Yue Dynasty after that. As for why it is written, it is naturally because these works were written and painted by Zhao Ji after he was taken away from the position of emperor and became the Duke of the Song Dynasty of Yue, so from a historical point of view, it can no longer be used in the Song Dynasty. Zhao Jilai made an introduction, which the museum staff still did very carefully. ”

"I see, this can be regarded as an increase in knowledge."

"In addition, there is a small skill to identify Zhao Ji's authentic works I can teach you here, after all, in the past few years, the calligraphy and painting market has been a big hit in the collection world, and ancient calligraphers and painters like Zhao Ji have also had the identity of the emperor, which is even more amazing. That is, his later flowers and birds and thin gold calligraphy we can pay attention to the bottom of the inscription and seal, if the above inscription is a person in the world, it must be fake. Because it was a seal that he would only use when he was on the emperor's throne, and in the later period, he could only use the dedication word seal or the minister's seal. This point has always been confused before, so it is possible to identify many fake calligraphy and paintings. ”

"I see, it seems that one day I will be able to use his paintings and calligraphy after I have five million to buy them." Xiao Cai said with a smile again, and at the same time caused Mei Ciren to laugh.

"Okay, let's get down to business, let's ask Professor Mei to tell us the historical stories behind these ancient paintings."

"Okay." After Mei Ciren nodded, the camera cut again, but he had already taken out a few paintings and calligraphy from the cabinet, and he also put on white gloves in his hands. I saw that he kept pointing to those paintings and calligraphy, and slowly talked about the artistic value of these paintings and calligraphy, and after a while, he commented: "It can be said that these paintings and calligraphy of Zhao Ji's later period are extremely high-quality national treasures, and only from these paintings and calligraphy, it can be seen that his artistic attainments have reached the height of the peak at that time."

And it is said that Zhao Ji's artistic talent is not only in calligraphy and painting, he has made significant contributions to the carving of gold and stone seals, the construction of forest gardens, and even music and rhythm dances. If only one artist is used to evaluate him, it is an existence that is enough to glorify future generations and make countless future generations look at him. ”

"But obviously, he's not just an artist." Xiao Cai said at the right time.

"Yes, he was not just an artist, in the early and middle periods, he was the emperor of a country, the supreme decision-maker of the whole country. It can even be said that the emperor is his serious profession, and the artist can only be a personal hobby. But he put more energy into his hobby, as for the emperor's own job, it is quite inappropriate, so no matter how much he has attainments in art, at least in history, he will always be marked as a faint king, and this mark will only be much larger than the title of an artist, and the real stench will be ten thousand years. ”

"Yes, that's why he was coerced by his courtiers to give up the throne when the Great Song Dynasty had no foreign enemies, and since then he has lived a claustrophobic life under house arrest." Xiao Cai also said thoughtfully.

Yes, but it is precisely because of such ups and downs in life that Zhao Ji has made a new breakthrough in art, just like Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, because the country was ruined and his family was destroyed, as a captive, he made a number of famous poems that have been popular and circulated for thousands of years.

In today's era, this is naturally worthy of our appreciation and feelings, but if we were living in the era of their rule, and the people under their rule, we would never hope for such a king, because such a king would only bring endless suffering to the people of the world. Not all the ancient people were as lucky as the people of the Song Dynasty, not only escaped foreign invasion, but also encountered two successive dynastic changes without much bloodshed. ”

"What Professor Mei wants to say should be the two Zen concessions initiated by Yue Taizu Sun Tu, right?"

Mei Ciren nodded and smiled: "Yes, as long as it is mentioned in the late Song Dynasty, it is impossible to bypass Sun Tu, although he is a Song minister, he is not like those other people who get by, but through his own continuous efforts, not only saved the country, but also saved thousands of people in the world." ”

"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?"

"Not an exaggeration at all. In fact, many of us who study this period of history have made similar deductions, if there was no heroic figure like Sun Tu, what would the history of the Song Dynasty be? As a result, everyone came to a conclusion that in the end, the Liao State in the north and the Jin people in the north could send troops to invade the south, so that the Song Dynasty, which had always emphasized literature over military force, would not be able to defend their country. The best outcome was to retreat to the south and rely on the Yangtze River to block the cavalry of the northern nomads. But in this way, hundreds of people in the north will suffer......"

The host thought about it carefully, and couldn't help nodding: "Maybe what you said is right, Professor Mei, but after all, history has no assumptions, and now there is always Sun Tu's appearance." However, there is one thing that I, and the majority of netizens and viewers, cannot understand, that is, Sun Tu has already mastered the power of the imperial court at the end of the Song Dynasty, just like Cao Cao in the late Han Dynasty and the Sima family in the late Cao Wei period. ”

"This is where Sun Tu is more clever than Cao Pi and Sima Yan and others. Let me ask you, what is your first impression when you mention these two people? ”

"Uh, usurpation? Hero? ”

Well, these two words themselves mean that they are not good people in everyone's minds, and this is still the values of the 21st century, and we have never said that loyalty is a good moral. In ancient times, it was completely different, and the people at that time, whether they were scholars or old farmers in the countryside who couldn't even read big characters, they had the most simple values, that is, the distinction between good and bad. A guy like Cao Pi and Sima Yan who usurped his own monarchy and throne will be spurned by everyone. Therefore, Cao Wei was quickly usurped by the Sima family a few decades later, and the Jin Dynasty established by the Sima family was even more civil strife early, becoming the most chaotic era in China in 5,000 years. And the root of all this lies in their improper position, which gives future generations the opportunity to emulate. ”

"This is the so-called upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked?"

"Sort of. Sun Tu is different, it can be said that until today, the evaluation of him in history has been quite positive. Of course, in addition to the fact that the Yue Dynasty he established was indeed long enough for future generations to praise him more, the way he won the throne was also a very important reason. ”

"Just because he first set up Chai Xun as Emperor Zhou Rang?"

"That's right, although it seems to people now that he is doing this is really a bit of a superfluous move, anyway, it is all about snatching the throne, but at that time it was completely different. The buffer of these two years has made his prestige reach the peak again, and at the same time, Sun Tu was Song Chen before, so if he replaces Zhao Ji, he will be a chaotic minister and a thief. But at the end of the Zhou Dynasty, it was completely different, because the Zhou Emperor was the emperor who kept the throne by him, and he has always made decisions on the affairs of the court, although he is not the emperor, but he is also similar to the emperor, so the two sides have no monarch and ministers, which makes it natural for him to accept the Zen concession of Emperor Zhou Rang later, and no one will object again. ”

"I see, so it seems that this Sun Tu is not only a famous general in history, but also a politician."

"Of course, as the founder of the Yue Dynasty, if Sun Tu is not a politician, who else can afford this title? Moreover, his political wisdom is not only reflected in the seizure of the throne, but also in the various measures taken after the founding of the country......" As he spoke, Professor Mei's glasses flashed with a glimmer of light, as if he had thought of something.
