Chapter 160 News is here again
"But! We all know that to be objective and impartial, there needs to be a uniform standard. In this respect, the historiography in the West has always been very poor. Or rather, the performance is quite poor. According to the existing research, human civilization has two major origins - one is that it originated in the Fertile Crescent and created the three ancient civilizations of ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt and ancient India. The successors of these ancient civilizations are Western civilization and Arab civilization; Another birthplace is the Loess Plateau, where the Chinese civilization was created. However, Western historians have always applied double standards in the study of the history of these two civilizations. You all have double standards, how can you talk about objectivity and fairness? ”
"Boom ——!"
As soon as Li Yuan's words fell, the audience was in an uproar.
Kameda raised his hand anxiously and asked, "Sir, are you saying that Western historical research is discriminating against academics?" ”
Li Yuan smiled: "Is there any academic discrimination here?" It's up to everyone to judge! But I'm against populizing everything. It is better to have a simpler study of history. No special treatment is required, just a unified standard! ”
"Can you give an example?"
"Yes!" Li Yuan said with a smile, "We all know that Chinese civilization has been up and down for 5,000 years. However, in Western historiography, they only admit 3,000 years. It does not recognize the two ancient dynasties of Xia and Shang. For one reason - nothing more than the absence of archaeological data. In other words, there are archaeological data from the same era, but there is no written proof of it. ”
"It should be noted that the Chinese dynasties have attached great importance to historical documents, and there are even special historians to record history. And what about Western civilization? They are ancient Greek times, collecting and sorting out parts of the history of ancient Egypt; Ancient Roman times, collected and sorted out the history of ancient Greece? By the Dark Ages of the Middle Ages, most of the literature was burned by the Church. In fact, almost all the historical materials left behind today were collected and sorted out in the Renaissance era, and many of them were forged in the name of the ancients? That's it? Western historiography actually admits all of them? Even literary works such as Homer's epic poems are considered historical materials? ”
"Of course, in the absence of written materials, it is acceptable in historical research to use all the written materials as much as possible and to verify them through archaeology."
"However, accusing Huaxia of having no documentation? So what is the Chronicles? Isn't it written in words? ”
Hearing this, the audience was already silent. In this country, Sinology is still quite popular, and they basically know the book "Historical Records" by Taishi Gong.
Li Yuan continued: "We all know that the "Historical Records" is the first official history of China, and the content in it is basically true and reliable. Although some materials are lost and other problems, only the only copy of "Historical Records" remains. But Sima Qian must have written it according to the information he already had. In other words, he did have information around him back then, but in modern times, it is a pity that it has been lost. ”
"Fortunately, we still have this "Historical Records". And through circumstantial evidence and archaeological discoveries, the authenticity of the "Historical Records" has been continuously confirmed. Then we can think that the history recorded in the "Records of the Historians" is indeed true! ”
"Of course, it's not 100% true. There may be some places where mistakes occur for various reasons. Then we should come up with conclusive evidence to prove which is wrong. That is, falsification is required. Never doubt everything, let all the details have circumstantial evidence! To sum up - it cannot be falsified, then it means that the content in the "Historical Records" is true! ”
"For example: Jing Ke assassinated King Qin! In addition to the records of the "Historical Records", there is no other circumstantial evidence to prove that there is a historical figure such as Jing Ke and the historical event of assassinating the King of Qin. There is no archaeological data. For example, the sword and the map in Jing Ke's hand? Could it be that Jing Ke's assassination of King Qin does not exist? ”
"Analogy, Caesar's assassination. What circumstantial evidence do you have in the West? Are there any archaeological materials? Where is the dagger that assassinated Caesar? Does this historical event not exist? Completely impossible, right? In the context of Western historical studies, such a view is rather ridiculous, right? ”
However, in the study of the ancient Xia and Shang dynasties, this ridiculous phenomenon has appeared. Since these two dynasties are recorded in the "Records of History", it is assumed that they are authentic and reliable. If you object, come up with credible evidence! But now it's the other way around? You Huaxia can't produce evidence, so it doesn't exist? ”
"Tell me, isn't this disgusting?"
Regarding the Xia Shang Project, Western historiography has indeed choked on our country. It should be said that this is indeed a research topic of archaeology and history, but it does not need to cost people and money.
Even later on the Internet, there were a lot of bar spirits, but they didn't recognize the existence of the Xia Dynasty? Then you have the ability to falsify? Proof that the "Records of the Historians" are all forgeries?
As for Li Yuan's explanation, those readers and reporters can basically understand it. Is that really the truth?
Why is this so? Could it be that if you cut off the history of China for one or two thousand years, it seems that you have a long history in the West? What kind of dirty psychology is that?
However, the Western reporter still did not give up: "Mr. Yuan, for specific historical events, maybe I am not as professional as you. It is that I have a question as to why almost all other historians, including scholars from your country, have no objections. Are you the only one against it? ”
"Does that need to be said? I don't live on this, I'm just an amateur. When the road is uneven, what do I dare not say? ”
The audience burst into laughter. The people at the bottom, they all remembered the funny shows of professors and scholars before, and they really didn't dare to tell the truth?
Especially in my country, there is still academic discrimination in European and American countries, so it is easy to resonate with these people.
So when they saw that Western reporter was speechless, they felt a burst of darkness.
didn't say it, Brother Yuan is our good friend. Tomorrow's news is back!
……
In the face of the mocking gazes around him, the Western reporter stood still. He snickered in his heart: "You idiots, think you see me out of trouble? Actually, I'm already on the third floor! Do you know how much benefit Bertelsmann stuffed me? If this topic is not thoroughly hyped, how will the book still sell? Anyway, in addition to the red envelope, there are also news headlines - Eastern historians have questioned it, and Western historiography is systematically deceiving! ”
Honestly, who cares about what breaks history? A group of experts and professors tear up on the spot in front of the camera, which is really fun!
