Chapter 162: Cleopatra is gone

"The Tonight Show" lasts about 50 minutes and is divided into three parts: monologue, interview guests and band performance.

The first ten minutes are the host's monologue. They will use humorous talk shows to comment on the latest current news......

"Good evening, I'm your friend Lyreo." In the midst of the rousing music, voice-overs of laughter, applause, and whistles sounded.

This is also a major feature of "The Tonight Show", with a voiceover that the audience interacts with. And this feature has been imitated by quite a lot of talk shows in the future.

In the program, Leno began a monologue in a serious manner: "Recently, I saw a news that a Chinese historian accused us European and American historians of collective fraud. Note: He is not criticizing one person, but all people! Including history professors at all universities. Among them are Harvard, Yale, and ...... New Jersey Community College? (chuckles)

"As a word of caution, don't laugh. People with this guts should be protected like pandas. (Laughter)

"Alright! Put the photo first! Let's meet this warrior! ”

On the TV screen, a big close-up of Li Yuan appeared.

This is one of the photos of Li Yuan in the book "Merry" - wearing a dogskin hat, a sheepskin jacket, and a shotgun! (The audience burst into laughter)

Laino was dumbfounded and pointed to the TV screen: "Director, did you put the wrong photo?" NBC's group of cousins will deduct our money! This...... This is a historian? (Deafening laughter)

"Okay, okay! The photo was correct. Could this be a Chinese cowboy? (Laughter)

"This denim suit is quite stylish." (Hilarious)

"See? Texas Old! Don't be busy herding cattle! China's cowboys have become historians! (Amid the laughter, there is a round of applause.)

The screen switched and came to Li Yuan's interview scene:

“…… 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......,...... However, accusing Huaxia of having no documentation? So what is the Chronicles? Isn't it written in words......,...... 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 a disgusting practice? ……”

Several clips of the interview appear in the footage. In the end, it is the question and answer of the Western journalist:

“…… Why are there almost all other historians who disagree, including those from your country? Are you the only one against it? ”

“…… When the road is uneven, what do I dare not say? ”

In the midst of laughter, Lai Nuole touched his chin: "This is interesting, isn't it?" It seems that he has been greatly wronged. About the collective falsification of historians? Personally, I don't believe it. Such a broad accusation seems a bit excessive. But I don't know much about history, so I'd better ask the experts for their opinions! ”

On the TV screen, a short old man appeared, and subtitles were typed underneath - Vito, a famous professor of Italian history. Specialist in the history of ancient Rome.

"Hello, Professor Vito."

"Hello." Facing the camera, Professor Vito smiled politely.

"Can I ask you a little question? Do you know the four ancient civilizations? ”

"Hehe, of course I do."

"Do you know how many years ago the Chinese civilization is?"

"Three thousand years." Professor Vito looked a little confused. For a professor of history like him, this is all basic common sense. How can there be a reporter who makes a special trip to cover it? And ask these very small pediatric questions?

"Did you know that Chinese historians believe it is 5,000 years?"

"Oh. China's counterparts do have this claim. But this statement is very loose. No evidence has been found about their first two ancient dynasties, especially archaeological evidence. Therefore, it has not yet been internationally recognized. "Professor Vito really knows about this trivia. After all, he studied ancient civilizations, and he knew a little about Chinese civilization.

"Professor Vito, what counts as credible evidence? If there is a recognized historical document, does it count? ”

"Hehe, of course it is."

"Do you know the Chronicles? More than 2,000 years ago, a Chinese scholar's historical writings? ”

"Huh? No. Circumstantial evidence is still needed. ”

"So according to your standards, some ancient Roman and Greek histories also have no circumstantial evidence?"

"Huh?"

"Some don't even have historical documents, and the history of ancient Rome, ancient Greece, as well as ancient Egypt and ancient Babylon has been determined just by relying on a few texts found by archaeology?"

"Huh?"

"Do you have any circumstantial evidence of Caesar's assassination?"

"Sorry, you seem a bit vexatious. There is reliable documentation in ancient Rome at that time. Professor Vito is still quite knowledgeable, he patiently explained.

But the Records of the Historian is also a very reliable document? Why do Chinese documents necessarily need circumstantial evidence, but others don't? ”

"Huh?" (Laughter begins to grow.) Professor Vito's stunned expression was particularly funny.)

"By your standards, if Caesar's assassination is also not internationally recognized, does Cleopatra not exist either?"

"Huh?" (Laughter rings out.) It's true that other historical figures don't care much, but Cleopatra likes to hear about it)

In the end, Professor Vito was very personable: "I'm sorry, I'm a bit of a loner about this. If there is any misunderstanding, we need to study it together in the future. ”

"Recently, a Chinese historian accused you of systematic falsification and violating the objectivity and fairness of historical research. A double standard was applied to non-European civilizations such as the Chinese. Is there such a situation in your historiography? ”

"Huh?" Professor Vito looked embarrassed, "No, no. I am quite serious and devout about historical research. There must be a misunderstanding here. ”

With chuckles, Professor Vito in the camera fled......

Rino smiled and shrugged: "Poor Julius Caesar, he not only suffered a shameless assassination, but now even Cleopatra is missing. (laughs)

The screen turns. "Let's hear from the other professors......"
