I Teach Ancient People the History of Huaxia, and They Completely Lose It

Lin Xiao is a university lecturer specializing in Chinese history.

His lectures cover everything from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the origins of Chinese civilization, to the founding of the New China in modern times.

He begins with the start of the Qin Dynasty's downfall after only three reigns: the Coup at Shaqiu.

"In the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor's reign, Qin Shi Huang made an eastern tour and suddenly died at Shaqiu. The eunuch Zhao Gao coerced the Left Chancellor Li Si into launching the Coup at Shaqiu. Together, they forged the First Emperor's succession edict, deposed Crown Prince Fusu, and installed Huhai as the new emperor, Qin Er Shi. From that moment, the Qin Dynasty was doomed..."

What he doesn't know is that all the ancients can see the Chinese history he's teaching.

Qin Shi Huang: My Great Qin fell because of Huhai and Zhao Gao? Someone drag them out and execute them by chariot tearing!

Emperor Wen of Sui: Hilarious. The Great Qin that ended the age of chaos only lasted two reigns.

Then he lectures on the peasant uprisings at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the dynasty's fall.

Emperor Wen of Sui: What the hell, my Great Sui only lasted two reigns too?

Then he reaches the Opium War and the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Qin Shi Huang: Bring the strength of the whole nation to bear and wipe out the eastern barbarians.

Li Shimin: Leave not a blade of grass standing on those island lands.

Zhu Yuanzhang: March east with me and secure peace for generations to come.

When he talks about the founding of the New China, all the ancients rise to their feet and pay tribute to the New China.
