Just recommend this one. The daily stories of county officials and people in the early Northern Song Dynasty in 980. The exquisite details and simple descriptions of the world make you feel like you are being pulled into the old times of the two Song Dynasties a thousand years ago. It's not a cool article, but it's emotionally refreshing. It's not Machiavellian, but humane and worldly. There is no CP, no cheats, no modern knowledge dimensionality reduction attack, super realistic ancient world sentiments. The word count is almost a million, and it's so plump and juicy that it's ready to be read. Disadvantages: slow to develop, not a cool novel, no CP, the plot is not very ups and downs, a few chapters are too detailed, don't fall into this trap if you are impatient.

A rigorous historical text, the protagonist never gets "slapped in the face", but gets slapped in the face every day. Su Dun took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeves, which were densely written with words. "I was in Hangzhou before. I read hundreds of books and found a few pieces of evidence. Not many, just ten." He spread the paper on the old cases next to him, "But I think the direction is right." Su Dun pointed to the first piece and said in a calm tone: "Look at the sentence in "Dayu Mo" that 'the human heart is in danger, the Dao is only small, but the essence is only one, and the Yunzhi Juezhong' is quoted in "Xunzi Jieye Pian", but Xunzi said it was quoted from the "Tao Jing", not the "Shang Shu"." "And 'Yunzhi Juezhong' should come from the Analects of Confucius. Yao said, "The calendar of heaven is in your hands, and if you are willing to hold on to it, the world will be poor, and the fortune of heaven will last forever." "The Analects of Confucius said, 'Shun also ordered Yu', but what Shun said to Yu in "Dayu Mo" is completely different from what Yao said to Shun." "The so-called sixteen words of Yu Ting are simply made up." He raised his head and glanced at everyone, waiting for them to be shocked, excited, or "enlightened" as written in later novels. However - Fan Xun raised his head and said disapprovingly: "Maybe Xunzi remembered it wrong?" Su Dun was stunned. Zhao Mingcheng nodded along, with a serious look on his face: "I saw before that "Xunzi·Junzi Pian" quoted "One person is happy, and the people rely on it", and said it was from the "Biography"." "Actually, this sentence comes from "Shangshu·Lu Xing"." "The source of this quotation must be misremembered by Xunzi." Su Xingchong also said: "Pre-Qin books are all bamboo slips, and it is not easy to read them. The scholars cited the scriptures and most likely wrote them from memory. Without reading and checking, the words may not be accurate." Su Dun's mouth twitched. Huh? Is there something wrong with your reaction? Too calm? Too rational? Shouldn't we exclaim, "Oh my God, this is fake" and then people will be angry and share the same hatred? Why are all of them so... Calm? However, it makes so much sense, I am speechless! Li Qingzhao remained silent, just lowered his head and read the original text copied by Su Dun carefully. She stared at those lines of words for a long time, then suddenly raised her head, with a hint of weirdness in her eyes: "The original text of "Xunzi: Uncovering" is: 'In the past, when Shun ruled the world, everything was accomplished without edicts. When he was in danger, his glory was full; when he raised a little, his glory was unknown.' Later, he quoted the "Tao Jing": "The danger of the human heart, the weakness of the Taoist heart, and the number of dangers can only be known by a wise gentleman." She looked at Su Dun with a strange light in her eyes - a look that doubted her IQ: "You don't think it's the same sentence just because 'the human heart is in danger, the Tao's heart is small' and 'the human heart is in danger, the Tao's heart is small' are very similar?" Su Dun was displeased and replied stiffly: "These two sentences are exactly the same, how come they are not plagiarism?" "But these two sentences have completely different meanings!" Li Qingzhao talked eloquently: "Xunzi first said that Shun was 'in danger' and 'nurturing the subtleness' - this means that Shun advocated using a single-minded heart to explore the subtle principles of things." "Then he quoted the "Tao Jing" that "the human heart is in danger, the Tao heart is subtle". He quoted the sentence from the "Tao Jing" to explain the 'danger' and 'micro' mentioned by Shun earlier." "The key point of this sentence is in the last sentence - 'The number of dangers can only be known by a wise gentleman'. It is talking about the 'ji' (sign) between 'danger' and 'micro', which only a 'wise gentleman' can detect." She paused and said in a clear voice: "But the key point of the sixteen words in "Dayu Mo" is also at the end, 'Wei Jing Wei Yi, Yu Zhi Ju Zhong', which is to use the 'Jing Yi' skill to 'Zhi Zhong'." "The themes and philosophies of the two sentences are fundamentally different. One talks about detecting signs, and the other talks about adhering to the middle way." "Just because these eight characters are somewhat similar, do you think it is plagiarism?" Fan Wei continued: "Even if it is plagiarism, it may be that the Dao Jing copied Dayu Mo, and then was recorded as the Dao Jing. There are too many such things." He thought for a while and gave an example: "For example, the sentence 'Without indifference, one cannot achieve clear aspirations, without tranquility, one cannot reach far', which comes from "Huainanzi Zhushu Xun" of the Western Han Dynasty. More than three hundred years later, Zhuge Liang quoted it in "The Book of Commandments", and now everyone thinks it was Zhuge Liang who said it." "There is also 'the courage to be big but the heart to be small, the wisdom to be round but the action to be square', which also comes from "Huainanzi Zhushu Xun", Sun Simiao quoted it, and now everyone thinks it is Sun Simiao's words." Zhao Mingcheng added: "This is also the case in "Xunzi" itself. The section about three years of mourning in "Xunzi: Rites", from 'three years of mourning, what' to 'the same thing in ancient and modern times', the entire paragraph was included in the Book of Rites and became the 'Three Years Questions'." "Now when people quote these sentences, they definitely think they come from the "Book of Rites", not "Xunzi"." Su Xingchong also nodded: "As for what Yao said when he surrendered to Shun, it is different from what Shun said when he surrendered to Yu. Isn't it strange?" "Two generations of holy kings faced different world situations, so they had to explain themselves differently." Su Dun was confused by everyone's words. Didn't those books of later generations say that the "Sixteen-Character Heart Biography" was the core evidence for Yan Ruochu to falsify the "Gu Wen Shangshu"? Didn't it mean that as soon as this piece of evidence came out, the Neo-Confucianists were speechless? How come you can't even convince a few seven- and eight-year-old children here?

"Ancient People Came to the Island as Special Recruitment, It's Hard to Rewrite China's Thoughts" Among tomato history books, this book ranks among the best in terms of quality. Not blowing.

For those who pursue quality reading, control history, and examine the party, this book is worthy of your bookshelf. One of the ceilings of tomato history, it would be a pity to miss it.
