Chapter 200 Zero Seven Chapter Reunion of the Second Elder
On this winter night, I finally finished reading "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". Although there were no soft snowflakes outside the window, and there was no warm stove in the house, I still read comfortably.
In the afterword of this book, Mingyue told a lot about his feelings when he read history and wrote. According to the author's law, almost all the historical stories he has read have tragic endings.
Think about our history, it can really be like this.
"Everybody, his rise and fall is decades to him, but only a few pages to me. He was very good on the first page, and he was cowardly on the next page. This is probably the author's truest feeling.
I looked at the seven books on my desk, which were not very thickโthe three hundred years before and after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty and its fall were presented on this few thousand pages of paper. Three hundred years, it is one hundred and ninety-five thousand five hundred and seventy-five, it is two million six hundred and twenty-nine thousand eight hundred hours, and the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the prosperity and decline of the Ming Empire, all of which are in these seven books to show the fate of some of these famous figures, and the ups and downs of each of them for decades, are indeed only a few pages. For example, Chang Yuchun, the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, volunteered during the Taiping War, and participated in all the major battles for the establishment of the Scales State in the following years. After the north out of the desert to achieve a great victory, the class returned to the dynasty, through the Liuhe River when the violent illness died, only forty years old. Even this dazzling star, the account in this book is only a few pages.
As if it is a spell that cannot be escaped, no matter who is born from the moment they are doomed to death. No one can escape the disappearance, the dynasty cannot escape the collapse, and the earth will always die because of the death of the sun. If you think about it, isn't destruction the beginning of a new life?
Spring goes to autumn, the stars change, and in this vicissitudes of change, we still grasp a power after all-this is the process of being able to control our own lives. Yes, how to control the process of life and deduce the wonderful that belongs to you is the right of each of us as an individual. Maybe every life doesn't determine what it was born in โ maybe I was a flying bird, maybe I was a swimming fish, maybe I was what I am now...... However, we can decide our attitude and method of joining the WTO: if it is a bird, it will flutter its wings and soar in the sky, and if it is a fish, it will swim into the river and leap into the sea to the Longmen...... Every living form must devote its finite life to infinite splendor, to impact the limits of life.
In the face of eventual destruction, the only thing we can rely on is that process. We must devote a hundred times more energy to fully decorating and enjoying this beautiful process. "Ten Thousand Kinds of Frost Compete for Freedom", what I see is that every individual enjoys the preciousness and joy of freedom in the process of life.
Perhaps, this is the true meaning of life - to create and experience a wonderful process in your own unique way!
We love history, his colorful storyline, and his thought-provoking historical phenomena. You have to understand that historians are also human beings, and if they are human beings, they will have feelings. Therefore, the historian will definitely bend the pen, the difference is only the degree. Since we can't restore the first scene of history, why don't we look forward?
What kind of ideals we have, what kind of people we will become, and everyone has the right to choose their own way of life. Some people may have had to give up their ideals because the reality is too cruel, but I think it is precisely because the reality is so cruel that we should not give up our ideals! It is precisely because of it that we can maintain a warmth, a belief, and a spirit of not giving up in this out-and-out reality. sustains us all the way.
Those things in the Ming Dynasty 1000 words after reading (2)
During the holiday, I finished reading the very popular strange book that created a miracle on the Internet under the curtain - "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and I did feel hearty after reading, if I was asked to use one word to describe my feeling after reading, it was "cool". When it comes to history, everyone must associate it with boring and boring, but the author of this book, Mingyue, has changed the convention and replaced it with humor and humor, which makes readers want to stop.
The style of the book is rigorous and humorous, and some of the author's comments are particularly appropriate, and I admire not only the author's rich historical knowledge, but also his unparalleled social insight. The author of this book, Mingyue, a young man who was only 27 years old and an ordinary civil servant who was not majoring in literature and history, used such an old-fashioned, popular, and humorous technique to write a total of seven volumes of historical masterpieces, which restored history clearly and profoundly, full and round, which is really incredible. The book was serialized on Sina's blog for three months and had more than one million points, creating a miracle in the history of literature. That's why I often sigh "strange people"!
The book is the only one so far that is the only vernacular history of the Ming Dynasty, from the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to the fall of the Ming Dynasty for nearly 300 years. The first volume starts with Zhu Yuanzhang Zhu Yuanzhang's peasant uprising, after hard fighting, defeated Chen Youliang, and ascended to the throne with Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other Rao assistants, and killed Hu Weiyong, monopolizing power; Zhu Di was forced to rebel, moved the capital to the north, and created a prosperous era of Yongle; Helplessly, Zhu Qizhen's confidant eunuch Wang Zhen ruined the Taiping Shengjing of "Xuantong's Rule"; Jiajing Wanli's grandson lived in a simple place, ignoring the government and politics, and the Donglin Party and the martyrdom fought everywhere; Who knew that the Ming Dynasty was exhausted, and no matter how the hard-working Chongzhen turned the tide, he could not save the decline, and the Ming Dynasty eventually perished under internal and external troubles.
Xu Jieyan Song's power seized power, and he was deceitful; Yu Qian Wang Shouren's efforts to turn the tide are upright; Zhang Juzheng's reform of the law is waiting to be revived, reform and anti-corruption; Qi Jiguang Yu Dayou's heroic fight against the Japanese invaders; Yuan Chonghuan and Lu Xiangsheng's skillful use of the art of war to assess civil strife; Sun Chengzong's scheming and Li Zicheng's final attack......
The author dissected each of Rao's psychology and characteristics in detail, making history wonderful again, and I knew everything about this dynasty with which I was not familiar in just a few days. The character I admire the most is Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in troubled times, burdened with the pain of the death of his parents, starting from extreme poverty, he has no background, no background, no support, everything he has won by himself, he has experienced a lot of hardships, evaded the grasp of death countless times, got up from the pile of dead, buried the bodies of his comrades, and then continued to move forward and continue to fight. Zhu Yuanzhang's era had countless powerful characters, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, and Wang Baobao were not fuel-efficient lamps. Zhu Yuanzhang defeated these enemies with his astonishing military endowment. Yes, in that era, the title of the best commander was none other than Zhu Yuanzhang. Almost with his bare hands, he single-handedly built a vast empire with his own courage and determination. During his reign, he implemented a series of policies conducive to social progress, such as resisting foreign invasion, reforming politics, developing production, and stabilizing people's livelihood, and vigorously strengthened the centralized rule of the absolute monarchy in the political, economic, military, and ideological aspects, and consolidated the power of the Ming Dynasty. However, he also had many measures that were difficult to judge or slandered, such as the court staff minister, the abolition of the prime minister, the establishment of brocade guards, the mass murder of meritorious heroes, the unauthorized killing of literati, the reopening of the funeral system, the eight-share scholar system, the implementation of monarchical centralization and high-pressure rule, etc., so he is also one of the most controversial emperors in Chinese history.
After reading this set of books, I couldn't help but be stunned by the "thick black studies" shown in the book! Most of these loyal and traitorous ministers are in front of people and behind them. Where is there still sincerity and faithfulness between people? They often engage in life-and-death struggles. Many talented people: Tang Yin, Xu Wenchang, Fang Xiaoru, Xie Jin, all of them are famous people, and they all got an extremely sad end in the political struggle. Some of their failures stem from a sentence, an article. It can really be said that "the person has no intention, the listener has a heart", which was misinterpreted by people with ulterior motives, and played a copy to the big boss, the emperor, the last sentence "This person has ulterior motives", and then analyze this sentence may endanger your throne, and the matter will be done. The holy decree was soon issued: all the houses were beheaded, the nine tribes were exterminated, and some of the ten tribes were exterminated!
As Mingyue wrote in his book: "History has never been humorous or optimistic, and there is no happy ending within the scope of what is currently known." "The so-called history is the past, and its cruelty lies in the fact that no matter how you wail, sorrow, loneliness, or regret, it cannot be changed.
"Although the ending may not be happy, in the spirit of serving the people, I will continue to be humorous. It is this kind of humor that makes me see this vivid character in "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", as if I am also in that wonderful era, and I have a deeper understanding of history and the long-standing culture of the Chinese nation!
In addition, can we learn some truths about life from history?
In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, countless people survived in such a difficult environment. During this period, Xu Xiake wore cloth clothes and took dry food to travel all over the country; Zheng Chenggong prepared by himself, recruited troops by himself, and went on an expedition to Ryukyu. They believe in life, they believe in the future, and they believe that they are brave people. In their own way, they managed to get through life. Their spirit and perseverance are worth learning from our descendants!
