The eldest aunt married into Dugutun. This was more than 30 years ago. One day, when I accidentally thought of this incident, I also thought of my eldest aunt in my youth, her beautiful appearance, her subsequent experiences, and of course, the "bridal send-off" event that I will never forget. Speaking of sending relatives off, this is a custom. In my hometown, when a man and a woman get married, if the groom and the bride do not live in the same village, the mother's family is responsible for sending the bride to the groom's husband. This is called a wedding send-off. --This custom still exists today. In those days, horse-drawn carriages were basically used to send relatives off. It's a rubber-tired cart pulled by four horses. Generally speaking, a carriage is enough.

Xiyaowo, the full name is Xiyaowotun. A few years ago, a major event happened here that shocked the entire county. In July last year, I came to the county to visit a friend and went back to my hometown with him, which is Xiyaowotun. After having lunch (and drinking a little wine), he and his old father were sitting on the kang chatting, and they accidentally talked about that incident. The old father is almost 80 years old. He has a shaved head and speaks in a loud voice. The old man worked as an accountant in a production team in his early years. He is proficient in writing and has read "Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin". He said there was nothing wrong with him except that he was a little deaf. I asked him to explain the matter in detail. He said: "What's the point of churning these seven hundred years of millet and eight hundred years of chaff? They say that you are a book writer and you like to explore such things, so let me tell you.

After passing through Daqing Gate, passing through Qipan Street, crossing Jiangmi Alley, going up and down Zhongyu River Bridge, and returning home from the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhao Shuqiao, a foreign minister, kept his head drooped until he entered the courtyard. This made the housekeeper Zhao Hu very strange. Normally, Zhao Shuqiao always walked in the door with her head raised, then walked into the study, sat down, read, and waited for her wife to greet her for dinner. At that time, he was young, in his early thirties, and his official career was smooth and prosperous. Zhao Hu thought that something might have happened to his master. With this thought in mind, he walked towards the east wing. There, Mrs. Zhao is preparing dinner. Seeing Zhao Hu enter the door, Mrs. Zhao raised her right hand, wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand, and asked, is the master back? Zhao Hu said, he is back. However, there is something wrong with Mr. Jian today.

In the spring of the 35th year of the Republic of China, a military plane flying from Guiyang to Kunming crashed on the Laohei Mountain at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou. Two sheepherders who advocated the path of the earth witnessed the crash. One of the sheepherders was named Kong Laosan and the other was named Ergou. That day they drove the sheep into a depression to eat grass sprouts and find a place to light a bonfire. Suddenly, a thunderous rumble was heard, and suddenly, a giant silver-gray bird emerged from the thick clouds and swooped down toward the nearby mountain. The crash was a small military plane, and Kong Laosan found a sealed iron box in the back cabin. They buried the box and returned to the depression. The bonfire had long been extinguished. Kong Laosan gathered the scattered sheep together and moved to another pasture with the two dogs. When a cave appeared beside the mountain road, Kong Laosan rolled his eyes a few times and said to Ergou: "Look at the cave."

The yang serves the yin and violates the ambition of the wolf, bullying the king and suppressing the people and disrupting the government. The wise young master used a small plan to capture Ao and was praised by others. These four short poems are about a strange court case that happened during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. What's strange is that the child emperor, who was just over ten years old, actually defeated a powerful traitor who had all the power in the government and the public, and was murderous and arrogant. Moreover, the planning was so clever and the actions were so neat. Without anyone noticing, he took the power back into his own hands without making a sound or a bloody blow. One day in July of the sixth year of Kangxi's reign, that is, 1667, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Imperial Palace in Beijing, bells and drums were ringing, and incense was swirling.

During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, there emerged a romantic emperor who was famous in Chinese history. His surname was Zhu Houzhao and his name was Wuzong. Ming Wuzong ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, died at the age of thirty-one, and reigned for sixteen years. He is not good at sitting in court and managing politics, he is fond of leisure, specializes in romance, and likes to travel in disguise, looking for flowers and willows, picking laurels and picking plums. Anyone who hears that there is a beautiful lady, a beautiful woman or a beautiful concubine, whether it is a famous family, the home of a high-ranking official, or the home of ordinary people, merchants and farmers, must rush straight in, force them to sleep with them, and let them have their way. Those who like it will be admitted to the palace and enjoy it to their heart's content; those who dislike it will girdle their waists and leave angrily, and they will be punished in the light case and beheaded in the serious case. As a result, many tragic incidents occurred, with families broken up and families separated, and wives separated from husbands, causing panic among people both inside and outside the capital. There were also several loyal ministers and good assistants in the imperial court who risked their lives to give advice.

A code book about the Japanese Navy and Air Force triggered a spy game between the United States, China and the British Allies. Someone wants to give, someone wants to take, someone wants to watch, and the spy becomes the protagonist in this game. They plotted against each other and directed each other, but only in the end did they realize that everything was just an act, that's all... In 1941, the European continent was immersed in blood and smoke, and hundreds of thousands of Hitler's elite soldiers gathered in the English Channel, with the potential to aspire to the Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Why was the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China in 1949 chosen to be held at 3 pm on October 1? Who proposed and designed the automatic device that Chairman Mao Zedong used to push the button to raise the five-star red flag? How about the preparations for a large and complex organization? Although 60 years have passed since the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China in 1949, it still maintains great historical charm. In the golden autumn of October, when the whole country solemnly celebrates the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the reportage "Founding Ceremony" written by Lin Yuhua recreates for us the exciting historical scenes of that year. The central government established the Preparatory Committee for the Founding Ceremony of the People's Republic of China in 1949. The situation developed rapidly and unexpectedly.

Cotton was introduced to my country from Java in the Song Dynasty. It was once called Jibei, which is the transliteration of Malay. Huang Daopo in the Yuan Dynasty had mastered a complete set of textile technologies. Xu Guangqi in the Ming Dynasty wrote a famous "Jibei Shu" to emphasize the importance of cotton. After the Industrial Revolution in Europe, the textile industry developed rapidly and landed in China at the beginning of the 20th century. In the 1930s and 1940s, the modern textile industry in Shanghai (Shanghai), Qing (dao), and Tian (jin) began to take shape. However, cotton spinning in the North China Plain still stayed at the level of Huang Daopo. Southern Hebei Province has sandy soil and long sunshine, which is suitable for growing cotton. Its output accounts for more than 40% of the country's total, and it is a famous "cotton nest".

You only have the right to love her, but not the right to force her to love you. True love does not need to be reciprocated. Love and death are to you powerless to change... You cannot force the love of others, your conquered, the woman you have captured, to love you. You can't avoid death. You have the world, but it can't extend your life. Your life is destined. You can't enjoy one more day, one night, one hour, one minute, one second. Yu Chu's mother believed that there was a golden warrior among the millions of terracotta warriors. This warrior figurine is made of enough gold for a chariot. It is unknown whether it is an armored warrior figurine or a tabard warrior figurine. Which one has more artistic value, an all-gold or pure-gold jersey or an all-gold or pure-gold armor? It's really hard to judge without seeing the real thing. The value should be equivalent, not higher or lower. There is no trace of this golden warrior figurine so far.

In early August 1937, the terrifying atmosphere of war quietly enveloped Shanghai. Every day, Japanese soldiers rampaged through the streets looking for trouble.

A black Chevrolet sedan drove out of a deep house compound on Xufu Street, turned onto Zhongshan Road, and walked through the snow. After crossing a few streets, it stopped in front of the Kaifeng Air Defense Command with a "squeak" sound. Liu Zhi, the Kuomintang army general, commander-in-chief of the Second Group Army and chairman of the Henan Provincial Government, walked out of the car wearing a yellow woolen cloak. The guards immediately stood at attention and saluted. Liu Zhi strode into the courtyard of the Air Defense Command, and the short and fat Commander Li hurriedly came out to greet him with a smile.

When the story happened, my grandfather had passed away for ten years. What I want to talk about here is my parents, my four uncles and my father. Originally, I always thought that my ancestors had always lived in the remote area at the junction of the three provinces of Shandong, Shandong and Anhui. In fact, this was not the case. My ancestors had been living in the Northeast for generations. That year, there was a flood in my hometown in the Northeast, and the houses with earthen walls and thatched roofs were completely destroyed by the flood. My grandparents had to take my four uncles and my father to leave their hometown and go south to the customs. They came to a place called Xiaozhuang at the junction of Sulu and Anhui provinces, which is now my hometown. When our tired family surnamed Li was preparing to set up camp in Xiaozhuang, we encountered unanimous resistance from the entire village, men, women, and children.

One afternoon in early August in the 14th year of Taihe (AD 490), a young man was sitting on a bed facing the wall just north of the Taihua Hall of the Imperial Palace in Pingcheng (today's Datong City, Shanxi Province). He wears a black jacket with narrow sleeves, black trousers with wide waist and crotch, high-heeled black boots, a crimson quilt around his waist, and a black tiger-skin hat with a pointed top on his head. There are braids more than a foot long trailing behind his head, and his angular facial features and whole His face was as if it were carved, with a dark complexion and erect brows. His dark brown eyes shot out bright, cone-like light. The memorial in his hand moved up and down, and he secretly screamed in his heart: Uncle, how dare you disobey my edict and take bribes and pervert the law?

He was a minister in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. Together with Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan, he was one of the three major central halls in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. When he first became an official, He Shen was smart and capable. Because Emperor Qianlong favored him, his personal desires expanded day by day, so he took advantage of his position to form cliques for personal gain and amass money.

This book exhausts the existing historical materials, uses a new perspective, truly interprets He Shen's legendary life, and fully interprets the inevitable law of his decline from peak to decline.

Believe it or not, this is indeed true. The tragic Tangshan earthquake in the 1970s was a natural disaster and a sobering man-made tragedy. Tangshan is famous for its Kailuan coal mine.

There is an ancient city on the south bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in my country. It belonged to Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, Chu established Jinling City, and Qin Dynasty called it Moling. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan inspected the Yangtze River and saw the Zhongshan Mountain to the east of Moling and the Stone Mountain to the west.

Zaichun, the only son of the Empress Dowager Cixi who ascended the throne as Emperor Tongzhi at the age of six due to the violent death of his father Xianfeng in Rehe, was not a mediocre and uninhibited person as some historical sources say. Regarding the evaluation of Qing history, Emperor Tongzhi was "talented and intelligent" and "good at learning and asking questions." It could have established him as an enlightened monarch, but due to the Queen Mother's desire for power, lack of family warmth, and indulgence in discipline, she often left the palace incognito to find happiness and relieve her worries. Realistic articles about his young and extravagant life often appeared in newspapers, and there were rumors that he contracted syphilis while visiting a brothel. The Queen Mother of the West took her own initiative, insisted on treating smallpox, and died prematurely due to misdiagnosis. These nonsense stories have also confused many historians and have become unsolved historical issues.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Revolution of 1911. In order to commemorate this great revolution, in this issue we excerpt some chapters from Mr. Ji Yu's new work "Iron-Blooded Heroes" for readers' enjoyment. On October 10, 1911, a new army uprising broke out in Wuchang, and the insurgents quickly occupied Wuchang. The next day, Hanyang and Hankou were recovered one after another, and then various parts of Hubei responded to the uprising. The uprising became more and more powerful and spread rapidly around Hubei. On the night of the rapid expansion of the Wuchang Uprising, news spread to Anhui, and Anhui reporters disclosed the news as quickly as possible. On November 5, Shouxian County, located in the center of Huaishang, first raised the flag of rebellion; then, the Anqing New Army also launched an uprising on November 8. After that, the Jianghuai land was turbulent, and Luzhou, Wuhu and other places successively declared independence. By late November, Anhui, except for a few places such as Bozhou, all responded to the revolution.

The author talks about the heavy topic of tomb robbing with ease, explaining the wonders in the ordinary, and containing philosophy in the simplicity. Covering the book and meditating, a sense of national pride, a sense of historical mission, and a sense of urgency to protect the national quintessence arise spontaneously... Did the overlord of Western Chu, who was so angry that he was fighting against the mountains, robbed the Qin Mausoleum underground palace? How does the heroic Cao Cao, who deceived heaven in life and deceived others in death, fight against tomb robbers? Why was Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty astonishingly extravagant in his Zhaoling Mausoleum? Why does "Qi Chao Valley", the burial place of a generation of prodigies who opened up new territories by bending bows and shooting eagles, make thieves calm down? Why is the Dongling Bandit, who has no conscience and is full of crimes, at large?

What Viscount Macartney resented all his life was his trip to China in the summer of 1793. It was not all because he failed to live up to the sacred mission of His Majesty King George III. What he could not forgive was himself. He stupidly allowed officials of the Qing Empire to hang a notice written in Chinese on the mast of the envoy ship. The four Chinese characters for "Red Barbarians Pay Tribute" written in the notice were obviously humiliating and hurt the face of the British Empire. There was no proper reason to explain, so he must have been blown away by the hot eastern sun. The summer of the fifty-eighth year of Qianlong's reign (1793) was extremely hot. Even at Dagukou, the mouth of Tianjin Wei, the sun was baking the sea surface like an iron, and the sea water was like boiling soup, with bursts of foam.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Houjin Nurhachi personally led an army of 130,000 people to cross the Liao River and invade the Ming Dynasty.

The imperial court will distribute the improved varieties of "Haomuxi" to the disaster-stricken counties and prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River for planting to help the victims rebuild after the disaster; the "Haomuxi Cultivation Guide" will also be published by the court and distributed to the disaster-stricken counties and prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River to guide people in their cultivation.

Just before his death, Duanwu Bridge saw a ship sailing towards him from the horizon. This is the mail ship "Siberia" that started from Shanghai in the winter of 1905 and sailed to San Francisco via Yokohama. At this moment - in the early morning of November 27, 1911 - its magnificent four-story hull suddenly appeared without warning in the dying eyes of the Duanwu Bridge through the gray sky of Zizhou City in eastern Sichuan Province, China's inland province. The sea and the sky meet, and there is no shore on all sides. There are a few seagulls here and there, chasing the black smoke from the boiler room at the stern. Suddenly there was a heavy rain, and the white waves were like mountains, reaching as high as the surface of the ship. The ship's hull was shaking, as if it was about to capsize in the rough waves. The raindrops turned into bright white blades and came forward with a biting cold air. The Duanwu Bridge subconsciously closed its eyes.

Tang Tianfu four years later. Chang'an, Zhongshu Lingfu. It is already spring, and the spring breeze is waving its soft, boneless hands and gently caressing the earth. All things that have been dusty for a long time are revived in the lingering call of the spring breeze. In the courtyard of Zhongshu Ling's Mansion, through the light leaking from the center, you can clearly see that many flowers are in bud and ready to bloom, and some of them have shyly revealed their colorful faces. It was obviously a spring night full of vitality. But the man in the room who was still standing in the late night light still had his eyebrows furrowed, as if the chill of last winter was still tightly locked on his face. This man is about sixty years old, slightly thin, but looks capable.

His creations are diverse and he has published more than 20 books including the novel "Impermanence", eight series of essays on Huizhou culture, and the historical biography "Trilogy of the Late Qing Dynasty". A variety of works have great influence across the country. The inscribed truth is like a maze-like town with many streets. Now, let's walk through these streets. When we walk on these streets, we get to know them. --Calvino I am Guan Yu. Many years later, when I could no longer carry the heavy Qinglong Yanyue Sword, I always asked Zhou Cang to carry it on my shoulders and walk and chat with him. I like walking on the city walls of Xiangyang and looking at the meandering Han River not far away.

Wang Hongzhang stood upright in front of a rectangular table. After accepting some instructions from Li Changpu, commander of the new 22nd Army of the National Revolutionary Army, he said: "Yes." It was not very loud, and it could be heard that he accepted it reluctantly. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his large throat slid up and down. He didn't sit down immediately, thinking, Li Changpu, don't you want my wife to be a widow? The room was very quiet, filled with the dry and choking smell of tobacco from the land of northern Anhui. The two female confidential officers sitting behind him occasionally made soft coughing sounds.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. The sun was turning west, and several fast horses were galloping on Zhuque Street in Chang'an City. The riders on the horses were all young, handsome and energetic. An elegant scholar sat on the horse running in front. When he reached the intersection, he reined in the horse, looked back at the man behind him, and asked doubtfully: "Twelve Master, is this the place you mentioned?" The young man behind him was riding a splendid white horse, carrying a slingshot on his back, and wearing light yellow linen clothes with his lapels open casually. He looked indescribably handsome and free. He nodded and pointed to his right: "Master Li, my home is in Jingshanfang, just a few steps away."

The weather was hot and dry, and everyone was burning with anger. Except for the officers, the soldiers and brothers couldn't shout loudly like cicadas on the trees. People were like tightly tied explosive bags, all they needed was a fire twister. Meng Erluzi is that spark. Meng Erluzi's sudden attack surprised everyone present. Indeed, Mr. Shi had no warning. The instructor Li Lun was holding a rifle and lazily explaining the structure of the gun. The gun is an imitation of the German 6.8 Caliber Mauser gun from Guangdong Ishii Arsenal, but the name was changed to "Yuan Nian Style". The weather was too hot and Li Lun was listless. In fact, the rifles in Li Lun's head were all original rifles made in Germany. They were obtained from Germany by the Nationalist government in exchange for installment payments and rare minerals. The non-main force of the National Defense Forces had not yet changed their equipment.
