Chapter 357: A New Direction in Life
History should be produced at any time, and it should be a faithful record of people's free activities in the past.
The meaning of its existence is to learn from history, discuss the present from the past, let people summarize the past, and enrich their future lives.
Therefore, history should be awe-inspiring.
These truths are understood, but there is a saying that is passed down like this, history is written by the victors.
In addition, "taking history as a mirror and borrowing from the past to discuss the present" is not something that ordinary people can use freely, and the people of the world have gradually lost their reverence for history.
However, the few records about the history museum made her see that the history museum is not afraid of power, everyone in the history museum has a sacred mission, it is their existence and persistence to record history, and then contact the history books that have been studied in modern times, there are indeed many who are not afraid of the imperial power.
In addition, the living notes and current political records were established in this era, and the Tang Dynasty, which was highly similar to the level of civilization and even the historical process here, also established the living notes and current political records at the beginning.
If so, take the Tang Dynasty of the Celestial Empire as an example.
The three most well-known royal history books of the Tang Dynasty are none other than the coup d'Γ©tat of Tang Taizong Li Shimin Xuanwumen, as well as Empress Wu Zetian, and finally Yang Guifei, one of the four beauties of the Celestial Dynasty.
It is people who cherish their reputation, especially those who have become emperors, and they care more about the evaluation of themselves by later generations, there should be no emperor who hopes that he is a mutiny to seize the throne, after all, the Yang Tian Dynasty is a state of etiquette, the concept of "benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the ruler is to rule the world with "filial piety".
But this period of not very glorious history has been completely recorded, for no other reason, the history books are truthfully recorded.
For example, if you want to write the history of the "Xuanwumen Coup", and write that Tang Taizong Li Shimin is the eldest son to continue the throne, which is the most justifiable, then you must first change the record of this period of national history, this record is still easy to change, and it will be changed from the Sui Dynasty, and it is estimated that there will be one hundred and eighty volumes when Tang Taizong ascended the throne. However, this is still just a revision of the collection of scrolls in the palace history museum, and these national histories are generally copied by hand, and the emperor's relatives are indispensable in their hands, and even because all the countries come to the court, the major feudal states in the world also have a copy.
Take 10,000 steps back, take it all back, change it from beginning to end, and the problem comes again.
The history of the country was compiled on the basis of the actual records, which in turn were compiled according to the daily notes that recorded the emperor's daily words and deeds.
Therefore, it is necessary to change the actual record, which is generally done once every ten years or decades, and if one place changes, it is necessary to memorize all the time, address, characters, and plots of the major events of the past ten years from beginning to end, and then start writing.
Finally, it came to revise the living notes, which could have to be piled up in a room of books for decades, and there were many records of foreign envoys coming to the court, as well as various reports of various things in more than 1,500 counties in more than 300 prefectures across the country.
Repair living note?
Where to start?
Maybe a historian can't revise it from a young man to a white head.
Assuming that this historian is gifted and has really finished the actual records and living notes, before he can take a breath, he will find that he does not know which minister, which temple still has the actual records that have not been confiscated, and even the stone tablet in an unknown small village is engraved with a text exposing that Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, is not the eldest son.
Holding this scroll, a question that he had never thought about before, and thinking about it with divergent thinking at this time, Liu Chenxing couldn't help but feel funny.
It turns out that history books are so difficult to revise, that is, the current historical records are praised, but their general direction will not deviate, just like the news, it will tell people the truth and speak with facts.
Suddenly realized that the compilation of history books is such a great thing, it spreads the truth, and shows the trajectory of this social development in front of future generations, especially the words of this record of the history museum, a few words outline the majestic momentum of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers recorded by the historian, Liu Chenxing's heart moved, there was a strong impulse, she can be a historian, not false beauty, not hidden evil, straight to the matter, through the pen of her hand, to convey the truth to future generations.
The thought flashed, Liu Chenxing's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but laugh with two dimples.
Officials from Jinshi are reluctant to go to a state capital as a county lieutenant, but she feels that this is a real official, of course, if she can stay in Chang'an as a real official and do something practical, compared to the county lieutenant to benefit the party, this can benefit the whole country.
However, since the implementation of the women's imperial examination, although there has been development, it has always been too slow.
Ouyang Zijin, a member of the inner house, although he has the name of "female prime minister" of the third grade, is not included in the list of civil and military officials.
She set an ambition to Uncle Liu, to surpass Ouyang Zijin to become a female official who can really stand among the hundred civil and military officials, but how can the inherent tradition of thousands of years be so easy to break, and she actually doesn't know how to go in the future, so she can only study as down-to-earth and diligent as she did when she first reads, after all, the empress breaks the patriarchal society like this, there is only one Wu Zetian in the history of the Celestial Empire, and there is only one empress in this time and space.
If she struggles all her life, but still can't realize her ambition and become a historian to revise history books, isn't she really doing some practical things and standing among the hundreds of civil and military officials?
Liu Chenxing found that there was one more direction of life to take in the future, and his heart was suddenly so happy that he couldn't help himself, and he couldn't wait to immediately read the summary introduction of the history museum in his hand from beginning to end.
In the past ten years, I have developed the habit of reading once I am immersed in the book, I will get carried away, and I will take the book scroll and read it word by word.
Between the bookshelf and the bookshelf, there is only a width that can accommodate one person to pass through, and the bookscroll has to be rolled with one hand and the other hand to spread the scroll while looking, in order to facilitate the hand-to-hand collection and exhibition of the bookcase, Liu Chenxing subconsciously walked outside the bookshelf aisle.
When he left, his eyes were still glued to the scroll, and he hadn't noticed the sound of footsteps, so he only heard an anxious voice shouting: "Liu Nushi!" Where are you going to take the books!? β
The memory is amazing, Rao is only one side has been around today, and Liu Chenxing also remembers this voice clearly.
was interrupted by this stern voice to read the book, and at the same time recognized the voice, Liu Chenxing was about to explain that she would not take the book and leave, but just stood in the aisle of the first to take a look, but she didn't have time to make a sound, only to hear Sun Dianshu and the left and right complained: "Look, that's right!" I can't leave a single step! I even told me that the books here should not be flipped at will, and she took them away while I was away! This kind of behavior, even if it is only eight buckets high, but the conduct is like this, it is really ......"
Saying that, he shook his head, and finally sighed: "Even if the female history that came in the past is not as good as learning, but in the end, there will be no such unclean hands and feet." β
