"In order to be a good eupon, I believe that it is essential to have a big-picture and long-term vision. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Didn't I say before, 'Using history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall'? Although it is undeniable that you already have a wealth of historical knowledge, I think that you will read it as a story book or a book to relieve boredom at first, and at the same time you will not seek to understand it. β
"Am I right?"
"If you don't speak, that's proof that I'm right. But also, after all, you are self-taught, and there is no famous teacher. Today, it is up to your husband to teach you the correct view of history. β
"It is said that ...... A long, long time ago, perhaps trillions of trillions of years ago, the universe was just a speck of dust...... Some people say that we actually changed from monkeys, to be precise, a kind of ape-man. β
After sending Cai Zhong away, Qin Xin and Meng Zheng came to a room alone, stood in front of a 1.5-meterΓ2.4-meter large whiteboard, and explained to Meng Zheng while the iron was hot, including the origin of this world and the development trajectory of human history and civilization. From the beginning of the universe to the beginning of human existence. But of course, Meng Zheng may not be able to understand the universe at this time. Therefore, Qin Xin basically mentioned it slightly, and asked Meng Zheng to ignore this point for the time being. After that, the most important thing is to start with the emergence of continents on the earth, and then the appearance of apes.
"They have learned to climb in part to avoid predators, and they remain in the trees at this point. But there are still some people who have to come to the earth because of the harsh natural environment. After tens of millions of years of evolution, their hands gradually became a bit like those of humans today, and they also learned to fight in order to survive. β
"At first they were armed with their own hands, but later they learned to use twigs and stone tools, and they also made improvised weapons. In order to survive more easily, they tend to live in groups, and gradually, this soon develops into tribes and even tribal alliances, but at this time they still rely on the mountains and the sea to eat the sea. When you're done eating here, move on to the next place. In fact, such a habit still has a custom left, such as the rotation of the field. β
"In the primeval times, there were no kings, all the ancients lived together, only the mother did not know the father, there was no difference between relatives, brothers, husband and wife, men and women, and there was no way of going up and down, the elder and the youngest. There was no advance or retreat, no concession, no accumulation of clothes and tracks, no equipment, no boats, no walls, and no preparations to guard against dangers. And back then, it was still women who were in charge of the house, giving this period a name, called the matriarchal society period. At that time, a son-in-law like me could be said to be all over the world. β
But it didn't take long for that to change again. In the process of evolution, the ancients began to become more intelligent and disciplined. Men and women began to divide their labor, and because men were stronger and had an innate advantage over women, men began to gradually replace women in the primeval period. β
"As I said before, at the beginning, the ancients lived in groups, and there were only a few people, and they worked together to form tribes, or even tribal alliances, so how did our current Great Zhou Dynasty develop...... Therefore, in ancient times there were all nations, and this is not an exaggeration. It's just that many kingdoms, large and small, have now been annexed or buried in the sandy ground. β
Because of the limited time, in an afternoon, Qin Xin could only talk about it in simple terms, but this was enough to refresh Meng Zheng's three views, so that Meng Zheng's little heart couldn't stop at all. As Qin Xin came or talked flatteringly, or talked eloquently, maybe she didn't think so at first. But soon, she was hooked. Suddenly, a door appeared in front of her, and when she pushed the door open, a light appeared in front of her, and then, with that light, she seemed to have returned to trillions of trillions of years ago, as if she could see how her ancestors looked back at the gradually sparse woods behind it, how they were forced to come down from the trees, how they crawled from the hunched back to walking upright, how they made weapons, and learned to use fire, during which they were both hungry and fierce beasts. Many people fell, but the rest went down steadfastly, looking for a better place for them to survive. Every time they look back, they are reluctant to give up, but they know that they have no choice but to leave.
Slowly, they learned how to farm, from being able to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea. The use of instruments, as well as the use of fire, makes them like fish in water. They began to transform from purely nomadic societies to nomadic peasant societies, and the size of the ethnic groups grew. Life seems to be getting better at last, but they still have to change places every once in a while, and they still have to move every ten years. As her husband said, this is corroborated. Looking back on the historical development trajectory of the Xia Dynasty, the Xia Dynasty lasted more than 470 years after the 17th Dynasty, but the capital moved repeatedly, especially in the early period.
In the end, they wait until when they stop. Until they have mastered more reasonable farming methods, and have begun to grasp the principles and methods of fertilizing fields. Finally, one day, they slowly stabilized, the castle began to slowly appear, and the palace began to slowly build. At this time, in the West, among the many small countries, a Xia dynasty appeared; In the East, among the many small countries, a Shang dynasty was born. The two dynasties collided in the middle, the Xia Dynasty fell, and the Shang Dynasty took advantage of the situation to rise, and soon became the largest dynasty in the Central Plains, but it was just ...... The Shang king had no way, and in the end, it was replaced by the current Great Zhou Dynasty. After that, the objects of worship of all countries came to the dynasty from the Shang Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty.
"That's it for today, my mouth is dry."
"Husband, go on." Qin Xin didn't want to say anything, Meng Zheng hurriedly said.
"No, and it's almost time to eat."
The story Qin Xin told was many times more exciting than what she had heard and seen before.
"Boom~"
"It's useless for you to be coquettish. These things can't be said overnight, and what I'm talking about now is just a rough idea, and I haven't talked to you about how to 'use history as a mirror'. β
"Then I'll continue tonight."
"Ahem! It depends. My voice felt a little hoarse. β
"Husband~"
"Okay, okay, you promise me one thing, I'll continue."
"What's the matter?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that there are some special clothes that I want you to try. Qin Xin looked at Meng Zheng's chest, everything was fine, alas, it was just a little small.
