Han Watchtower

After reading a few chapters, the writing is not good enough and the protagonist's IQ is not up to par. It's a great read. Please be careful when entering the trap.

Today's grilled naan

Thanks to July for letting us know that there was another hero in the Han Dynasty named Yiyang Hou. It turns out that the yellow sand that we have all been familiar with since we were young was able to wear golden armor in a hundred battles. There was a hero like Fu Jiezi who could not break Loulan until he returned it. Although I don't know what Fu Gong thought in real history, but think about how a few people dared to kill King Loulan on the spot. Many people always say that Chinese people do not believe in religion, but religion does not mean that there is no faith. Chinese people's faith boils down to two words, that is ancestors. What is the meaning of belief in ancestors? Said: family, country, world. During the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang wrote the soul-stirring "Departure from the Master", leaving behind the eternal famous line of "dedicate yourself to the end, and die". This is the magnanimity of "obeying fate and doing everything humanly possible", and this is the promise of "repaying the late master and comforting the common people". When the autumn wind set in Wuzhangyuan, although the ambition of the Northern Expedition was not realized, Zhuge Wuhou gave the most perfect interpretation of his promise with his personal actions. More than nine hundred years later, Yue Fei passed by the Wuhou Temple in Nanyang and held a candle to read the inscriptions in the ancestral hall. He was filled with emotion and burst into tears. So I took out the paper and asked for words, started writing with tears in my eyes, and regardless of clumsiness, I copied the "Second Form of the Master" by hand, which made my intention clear. Later, on the night when the Fengbo Pavilion was stained with blood, Yue Wumu became a symbol of the national spirit like Zhuge Wuhou. At the end of the Song Dynasty, when Lu Xiufu jumped into the river from a cliff with the young emperor on his back, it was a foregone conclusion that the land of China was sinking and Jin Ou was incomplete. But there is still a loyal and lonely man who upholds the integrity of a nation, and he is Wen Tianxiang. After Wen Tianxiang was captured, he angrily wrote "Song of Righteousness" in prison. There is this sentence in it: "Perhaps to set an example, ghosts and gods cry heroically." At that moment, Prime Minister Wen performed the same immortal performance as Zhongwu Hou and Yue Wumu. In the Ming Dynasty, a sudden change in the civil fort made hundreds of officials decide to move south. Yu Qian wrote a poem in front of the Yue Fei Temple: "The ancient temple of yellow leaves is covered with cold rain, and the clear mountains and barren tombs are filled with white clouds. How can I say goodbye to Zhuxian Town without seeing the general playing a triumphant song?" When the Wala soldiers surrounded the city of Beijing, Yu Shaobao turned the tide with one man's will and played the triumphal song that Yue Wumu had not finished. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, facing the invasion of the Tartars, Zhang Huangyan made such a bold statement by the West Lake: "What will happen if the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed? There is our army at the head of the West Lake. The sun and moon hang in the family tomb, and the world is half of the Yue family temple." He was captured and sacrificed heroically. Mr. Cangshui used his life to fulfill the promise he made to the two sages in the past. Just because of Yue Shuang Shaobao, the world came back to the West Lake, and from then on there was another Zhang Cangshui. The Three Heroes of West Lake will be remembered forever! What is faith? This is faith! And this is the unique "ancestral belief" of the Chinese people. At a young age, it is like a train ticket during the Spring Festival travel period, or a wisp of ashes when worshiping ancestors during the Qingming Festival. To put it more broadly, it is the sense of mission that regards the world as its own responsibility and the Chinese soul that is inherited by the nation. This cannot be given by any god. It relies on the spiritual infection passed down from generation to generation. In the inheritance of this faith, our nation has experienced and been reborn again and again. What is my belief? The "Four Sentences of Hengqu" written by Zhang Zai, a great scholar of the Song Dynasty, expressed my inner feelings, which are - to establish a heart for the heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry forward the unique knowledge for the saints, and to create peace for all generations.

Sanjiang has arrived, and it's not far away from being on the shelves. This book will be on the shelves on December 1st. I'm so cute and asking for the first order. This is really important to me!

I see people arguing about Wei Huo's merits and demerits, his character and even his military qualities in history in the comment area, and I find it really incomprehensible, because the argument itself is meaningless. First, historical facts are things that happened in the past. In today's information-rich world, it is difficult for us to tell what happened yesterday in the same city and what is the truth and what is just speculation, let alone the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. Regardless of whether the details under the general historical context are found in history books, they cannot be verified. You can interpret and understand them from various angles, but you must have a prerequisite understanding, that is, judging the rights and wrongs of historical figures may seem arbitrary, but in fact it is extremely unfair. , You can think whatever you want about a matter that has no parties and cannot defend itself. Based on the timeliness and amount of information, the possibility of objective notarization will forever be lost. Ask yourself, do you have enough professionalism and ability to evaluate those figures who have entered history? And your ideas have nothing to do with the object of your argument, whether you praise or belittle. I wonder if Boss Cao cares whether you think he is a hero or a traitor? The so-called debate is just people talking about current affairs. There will definitely be deviations between the events in past history and the facts you agree with now, or in other words, all ideas about history are just speculations by those who have nothing to do with it. Second, the attitude towards history and our attitude towards history. Some people say that history is a little girl who can be dressed up by others. Although this is extreme, it is not entirely wrong. Many of our twenty-four histories were compiled by later dynasties for the previous dynasties. In the context of following the general context, credible details and evaluations are not as simple as discounting. Even looking at one thing from another angle will have a huge contrast, and these happen to greatly determine our basic perception of history. What you need to understand is that it is people who make up history, and they are also people who write history. How can such complex creatures as humans be explained clearly in a few sentences? Sometimes we are noble, sometimes despicable; sometimes evil, sometimes kind; sometimes cowardly, sometimes brave; sometimes selfless, sometimes greedy; sometimes wise, sometimes stupid; sometimes violent, sometimes warm and at ease. People in history have the same emotions and positions as us. They have our strengths, and they also have our weaknesses and shortcomings. These are common and unavoidable things for the same kind of creature. If you temporarily put aside those great, glorious and beautiful modifications, and abandon those despicable, dark and malicious descriptions, then history is history, just the deceased people and the past events. History has no attitude, but those who record history and those who read history do. Then those who record history and those who read history become the history of future generations. In this way, history has been repeatedly piled up to become what it is now. Tai Shigong made no secret of his attitude towards the people and events in the historical records. One of his starting points was to warn future emperors and dignitaries to treat the people well. He even used the words of Chen Wu to say that the princes and generals Xiang Ning had such earth-shattering words, his intention was clear. When Dong Zhongshu deposed hundreds of schools of thought, he did not forget to use the metaphysics of the connection between heaven and man, which seems ridiculous to modern people, to restrain the emperor. Zizheng Tongjian even puts forward expectations for the royal ministers and all scholars, although these expectations have existed since the Analects of Confucius era or earlier. A serious history book like "The Book of Jin" compiled by Fang Xuanling records an exaggerated and absurd story like lying on the ice to beg for a carp. This is definitely not an imperial prime minister with a low IQ. The purpose is obvious. It is nothing more than an attempt to use the name of filial piety to avenge the turmoil of war and the collapse of the world. Three hundred years later, the new empire re-established a moral order in the hope that the world would become better, especially in the context of Li's bloody imperial power change. As one of the planners and implementers of the human tragedy at Xuanwu Gate, I think he must have mixed feelings. There are a lot of books like this, and many of the details cannot withstand scrutiny, but do we, who read history, feel the author's ardent expectations? Because of this, the cold history has gained warmth. What we are is what our society and country are like, and it is the same in history. It is what the reality of that era requires. History can be a neutral and boring statement, or it can be a wonderful magical romance, or even black and white facial makeup and casual lyrics on the stage. What is certain is that these are your and my attitudes towards history. Third, the historical significance is not to pursue true details, because this itself is impossible. For example, did the tragedy of the march recorded by Tai Shigong happen during the reign of Emperor Wu? Where does it happen? When did it happen? Why does it happen? On what scale is this happening? Is it true that 23 out of 10 are true? Who are the responsible persons? Have you been punished? What are the names of the victims? Who lived where? How many people are there in the family? Did you get any pension afterwards? …. Based on modern investigation and accountability procedures, there can be dozens or thousands of such questions. If you go into detail for each victim, the questions will multiply. So how many can you answer? At the end of the question, you may say angrily: How do I know? Yes, what happened two thousand years ago, even if the few things recorded by Tai Shigong are true, because he is at least closer to the truth of what happened than us in terms of time, but it is only close. The information he possesses alone is also not enough to answer all questions. This has nothing to do with his moral integrity or even his ability. The ancient people who lived in that era could not answer the questions raised by you in modern times. This is an unsolvable question and has nothing to do with the truth. Some people in the comments said that Tai Shigong blackmailed Wei Huo, and some said that Li Guangli was incompetent, so the significance of history has become a tool for you to fight against. In fact, many times history in the hands of literati is also a tool for gaming with the emperor and people with different opinions. I even read in a book by an urban author that it was said that Wen Tianxiang was ready to surrender but the conditions were not well negotiated. The basis was a classical Chinese article "Tianxiang to Chaoyang" whose origin and author are doubtful. One of the lines was "A long break from marriage, I can return to my hometown with a yellow crown, someday...". So history for him became a tool to attract people's attention with a non-mainstream point of view. It is extremely shameless to dare to deny other people's integrity and moral character by taking a sentence out of context based on an article of unknown origin. After Wen Tianxiang was arrested, only those who surrendered to the foreigners who arrested him knew what he said. I think they would not like the iron-clad Wen Tianxiang. Because that would make him look despicable, so was he motivated to write a few articles with Wen Tianxiang's ambiguous attitude, which would not only meet the political propaganda needs of eradicating the "remnants" of the Song Dynasty, but also help those who surrendered like himself to step down? After all, the people who were able to write "Song of Righteousness" and "Crossing the Lingding Ocean" all had ambiguous attitudes and wanted to surrender. Those of us who have already surrendered seem to have nothing to do with it. It is the general trend. When I think about it this way, I really have a clear idea and feel much better (WTF?). To take a step back, what would happen even if Wen Tianxiang tried to survive in the end? Is it because of such an attempt that we deny the historical context that he wanted to support the building, raised troops to resist the Yuan Dynasty, was finally defeated, was arrested, and then killed? We don't know what Wen Tianxiang was thinking after he was arrested? Did Lu Xiufu feel regretful and unwilling to make the decisive leap from the cliff? At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when he had been an official for three hundred years, did Qian Qianyi, a big figure in the literary world, also think about dying for his country? It is indeed a choice of death. We cannot empathize with the choice when facing death. No matter what choice we make, it is difficult. We only need to know that more than 700 years ago, a man named Wen Tianxiang stood up when the country was in danger, and finally died for it. Lu Xiufu finally betrayed the emperor and threw himself into the sea. In the late Ming Dynasty, Qian Qianyi met a good death in the Qing Dynasty. This is enough. The details are impossible to find and meaningless. Fourth, the gift of history and civilization. The history in history books is certainly not the same as the truth, but it provides a credible and possible basic context. The way humans process information is that the simpler and more extreme it is, the more conducive it is to dissemination. From senses to language, to writing, to the amount of personal information, stance and attitude, as well as current political needs, a large number of details will inevitably be lost, and it is even more impossible to record all the details. It is not easy to make mistakes in the historical context. Compared with many tribes in the world that have no written history and countries with interrupted civilizations, we are all troubles of happiness. Our primary school teachers can teach the Analects of Confucius, which was written more than 2,000 years ago. Even ordinary people without any professional training can recognize a few inscriptions on the bells and tripods of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods in museums. As long as you learn and understand dozens of idioms and the historical stories behind them, you can understand the basic principles of life and work. Many people may not realize how magical and amazing this is. This is a civilization that is still alive! He allows us people living on this land to unite with values ​​based on our common history whenever we encounter disasters, so that we will not lose courage in the face of a confused future. Looking back at the past thousands of years, we have encountered countless times that were even worse than now. Haven't we survived them all? We in the past have made us who we are now, and we in the present will also make us in the future. This is something that is certain. History is the past of all of us, ancient and modern, and the hometown deep in the spirit. It may not have such a clear texture, but it is absolutely great and glorious for thousands of years. For us, the greatest significance of history is that we have history, a history that is written in words and can be passed down. There is a history that is constantly summarized by past gains and losses. These histories have been piled up over the long years to form our civilization, and they have also shaped what you and I are like now. This is our luck, and it is also my view of history.

🤔I'm here again, making a genealogy chart of the Xiongnu Chanyus, corresponding to which emperor reigned in the Han Dynasty The more famous one is Maodun Chanyu who besieged Liu Bang in Baishan Mountain (he had a lot of roles in Qin Li) There is also the Yizhixie Chanyu who was killed by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Hu Hanxie Chanyu during the Han Yuan Dynasty. Like Princess Xieyou, Wang Zhaojun once wrote to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, hoping to return to his hometown, but was not allowed to marry his ex-husband's eldest son. The Xianxian Shan who recently appeared in Han Que, his father was once established as the Chanyu, and later gave way to Hulugu Chanyu. It seems that Hulugu should have been passed down to the Xianxian Shan, but Hulugu still passed it to his son. In the end, the sage Shan was at odds with the usurper Tuqitang Shanyu, and led his men to surrender to the Han Dynasty, and was named the Marquis of Guide.

I didn't meet Ren Hong, sorry😃😃

Many people don't understand Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and are slandering Liu He. I will popularize the achievements of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty with everyone. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was quite numerous. He established the Protectorate of the Western Regions for the first time and incorporated the Western Regions into the territory of China. In the following two thousand years, including the legal basis of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, which is still used today, he launched a great battle with a scale of 200,000 cavalry, driving the northern Huns away, and the southern Huns surrendered, completely solving the Xiongnu problem. The Qiang people were defeated, and the Han Dynasty moved towards the surrounding invincible. The population has returned to the peak of 60 million in the Han Dynasty, the economy is developed, and the people are confident. From the time of Emperor Xuan, it can be said that the two Han Dynasties were the strongest. The temple names of the Western Han Dynasty are very precious, and only four emperors have them, Gaozu, Emperor Wen, Emperor Wu and Emperor Xuan. Even Emperor Jing is not qualified. Emperor Xuan was also a very good character, rather nostalgic, and left an allusion about his deep love for the old sword. Emperor Xuan's governance style is also very interesting, leaving behind the allusion to future generations that "the Han family has its own system, but the king's domineering ways are mixed." The well-known modern TV series Oolong Chuan Guan Guan tells the story of how Emperor Xuan turned from a folk savage into an emperor. In July, I chose a prosperous age mode. Many people traveled back and wanted to watch it to make up for their regrets, such as going to the late Ming Dynasty, the late Song Dynasty, and the Three Kingdoms. There is a certain difference between going to the prosperous age and having fun and going to the apocalypse. We are all Han Chinese and hope to feel a little more proud when we see this glorious history again. It is estimated that July will make this already glorious history even more glorious!
