Prologue: What is History?
There is a two-story restaurant in Tianjin, called the Gilded Building.
In Tianjin, which is close to the capital at the foot of this Tianzi, this gilded building is really not big, but the name is really loud.
Gilded, it makes people feel extravagant and rich when they hear it. It's a pity that this gilded building has not been a prosperous business.
I heard that the shopkeeper of this restaurant was the owner of a garment shop, and his business was very good, and for ordinary people, he was definitely rich and expensive.
It's just that for some reason, after the war, the shopkeeper Tong suddenly gave up the well-run garment shop and rebuilt the gilded building.
Perhaps because of bad luck, the Tong family, which changed to a restaurant business, failed to reproduce the glory of making ready-to-wear shops, and even relied on family support in the past few years.
The grandson of the shopkeeper only remembered that his grandfather often said that since that person was kind to the Tong family, there must be a place to remember him in this world.
Even if the Tong family's wealth is scattered, the reputation of this gilded building must be passed on.
"Don't let people forget, where does the word Tianjin come from. ”
After a few decades, the gilded building finally caught fire in this Tianjin city.
It's not because his family's wine and food have improved, but because after the grandson of the shopkeeper Tong took over, he didn't know where to invite a storyteller.
This storyteller is amazing, what other storytellers tell is nothing more than a story about King Wu's war and Guan Erye's thousands of miles of riding alone.
The common people spread the word of mouth, although they can't tell the story like the storyteller, but they all know the story like that.
But this storyteller is talking about the past of Daliang that no one has ever heard of.
What's even more interesting is that this gentleman repeatedly emphasized that stories and stories of old people are not made up nonsense.
At first glance, this sounds like a storyteller's words to convince the diners.
But if you listen to the story he tells, it makes people feel that there is something special about it.
It is said that at that time, there was a famous teacher in Jincheng, who listened to the book of the day and scolded him, saying that this old thief who told the story opened his mouth and changed history indiscriminately, so that the common people misunderstood.
Who knew that the storyteller was not angry, but asked with a smile: "Sir, do you know what history is?"
"History is the deeds, words, and thoughts of our ancestors, which can be learned by future generations. Your old boy is talking nonsense here, if you talk about books, you have to say that what you are talking about is a real person and a real thing, and your heart can be punished!"
"Sir, don't be angry, in my opinion, old man, history is just a line of words in a history book. ”
"Hmph, of course the vulgar people are indifferent!"
"Mr. can know, throughout the ages, the big waves have washed the sand, buried how many heroes have withered bones, although there is Taishi Gonglie Xichu overlord for the book, but in the final analysis, the content of the book is still written by the writer, and the hand of the writer has been used by the emperors of all dynasties. So, there are some things that are not written in the book, and people forget them. ”
In this controversy, Mr. Teaching was defeated.
At this time, almost the entire people in Jincheng knew about the storyteller and the story he told, and the business of the gilded building was getting better and better.
Until the government raided his house in the name of conniving at fallacies and causing trouble to the people, the grandson of the shopkeeper Tong didn't realize that this cash cow-like storyteller who he sent to the door would be the one who had been deliberately buried by history, one of the few closest friends.
