"I heard you say that now you are quitting your good job and going to play with antiques and collect them?"

The old man looked sternly: "Tell me, why?"

"Why? This is a bit long. Let me walk around twice, and I will tell you my thoughts in detail."

Chang Xian stretched out his hand to lift the old man up and walked slowly towards the flower path. According to legend, Chang Xian's first fear was not his father, but the old man next to him. Sooner or later, he would have to pass this test.

"The earliest reason is that the Shanghai Museum spent 4.5 million US dollars to buy back the fourth, sixth, seventh and eighth volumes of "Chunhua Pavilion Notes" from Chou State last year."

"Scared! The country is full of joy."

"I don't understand. Is this worthy of joy and cheering?"

"The robbers broke in and stole our belongings. A few years later, we used our hard-earned hard-earned money to buy it back from the robbers at a high price!"

"Having been hurt twice by robbers, shouldn't we be sad? Shouldn't we be angry? Shouldn't we be aware of our shame and then be brave?"

The old man remained silent.

…

Chang Xian took a deep breath and calmed his tone: "I clearly remember that the first lesson you taught us was to examine history and govern history."

The pioneer of textual criticism was started by the great genius Yang Shen.

That's right, it's the one who rolls the Yangtze River eastwards.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Minghao became a master of textual criticism and pioneered many historical methods.

The most important ones are two purposes.

First, oppose curved writing and advocate authentic writing.

History books should be as they should be; they cannot be obscured for anyone's sake, nor can they be deliberately smeared. There is no need for any Spring and Autumn writing techniques to be obscured by the venerable.

Because history carries the nation and the country, not the family letters of emperors, and cannot be erased arbitrarily.

Second, the materials should be credible, the words used should be accurate, and the writing should not be ambiguous.

When the facts cannot be determined, we cannot make a conclusion early and leave it to future generations for continued research.

Because the times always have its limitations, historians like Tai Shigong are unique. Even people like Ban Gu and Sima Guang are good at historical talent but short in historical knowledge.

This is especially true for those who write history. As a result, the Twenty-Four Histories contain a lot of private affairs, and even many of the compliments are nonsense.

Just to give you an example, Concubine Wan Guifei of the Ming Dynasty.

Yes, she is the hostess of the colorful chicken cup.

How did you get hacked by those people?

Isn't it because she was born a little different, was a little older, and had an aunty relationship with Emperor Chenghua?

Have you eaten your rice? Have you used your wifi?

The dirty information about Concubine Wan Gui originally came from Shen Xing's "Gushan Biqu".

However, when Yu Shenxing wrote the book, he specifically added: "These things were said by an old eunuch. It may be that the old eunuch is spreading rumors."

When Mao Qiling compiled "Supplementary Records of the History of Shengchaotong", he quoted Yu Shenxing's content, but deleted the questionable sentence in the original work.

Mao Qiling compiled "History of the Ming Dynasty: Biography of the Concubines" for a while, and moved the "Supplementary Notes of the History of Sheng Chaotong" intact, so the unofficial history directly became the official history.

Who is Mao Qiling?

"Sikuquanshu" contains 52 kinds of his works, which is the most personal works included in "Sikuquanshu".

It can be seen that the greatest role of "Sikuquanshu" is the village toilet.

If a bunch of people write something that is not real, whoever believes it will be stupid.

…

"Historians should just have a pen. We only need to be the historical slips of Qi Tai, the fox pen of Jin Dong, who are upright, objective and fair, and write straightly!"

"Therefore, Mr. Li Ji insisted on using first-hand materials as the basis for his argument, and advocated that the classification of archaeological relics should be based on quantifiable tangible items."

Chang Xian's voice gradually became more passionate at noon.

“What is primary material? What is tangible object based?”

"It's a cultural relic!"

"If history is the soul of our Chinese nation, then cultural relics are the body that carries the soul."

"When the soul is distorted, the body can correct it; when the soul has nothing to rely on, the body can carry it."

"But the bodies of our ancestors have been torn apart!"

"Millions of Chinese cultural relics have been lost in more than 200 museums in 47 countries around the world. The "DNA fragments" of Chinese history may be completely interrupted and irreparable."

"And until now, our historical DNA is still stolen, sold and lost!"

“Since 1982, more than 800 ancient tombs have been stolen in Yugan County, Gan Province;”

“In just half a year in 1987, more than 1,700 villagers in Tay Ninh Province robbed more than 2,000 ancient tombs and stole more than 10,000 cultural relics;

In 1990, 23,952 ancient tombs were stolen in Sichuan Province;"

""In a county in Hunan Province, the area of ​​ancient tombs stolen within two years was nearly one-fifth of the county's 2,000 square kilometers."

"..."

"Where did the stolen cultural relics go?"

Chang Xian was silent for a moment and then said: "Let's look at the data from the General Administration of Customs:

"In the summer of 1994, 7 trucks totaling more than 6,000 smuggled cultural relics were intercepted at two Stars and Stripes ports;"

"In May 1997, Tianjin Customs uncovered a case of smuggling cultural relics in a container. There were more than 5,000 cultural relics in the container;"

"In March 2003, Shenzhen Customs intercepted a total of 2,165 cultural relics restricted by the state for export. The paleontological fossils are of such high level, complete variety, and huge quantity that they can open a large-scale paleontological fossil exhibition hall;"

"From 1991 to 2000, customs across the country seized more than 100,000 pieces of smuggled cultural relics. If we estimate one by one and miss nine, there are as many as one million pieces of cultural relics leaked out!"

…

"It's only ten years!"

“What kind of concept is this! It’s shocking and terrifying to think about!”

Chang Xian's voice was almost roaring, and the housekeeper over there, Mrs. Zhang, thought something had happened and ran over anxiously.

After taking a look, he found that nothing was wrong, so he went back.

Chang Xian also felt that his mood was not right, he slapped his forehead hard, gritted his teeth and sneered:

"Those of us who want to learn painting want to see Dunhuang murals, Gu Kaizhi's "Picture of Proverbs of Female History", Yan Liben's "Picture of Emperors of All Dynasties", Han Gan's "White Picture of Shining Night", Song Huizong's "Picture of Five Colored Parrots", we want to go abroad,

Go to the robber’s house!”

"We who study calligraphy would like to read Wang Xizhi's "Sangluan Tie", "Er Xie Tie", "Deshi Tie", "Frequent Sadness Tie", "Kong Shizhong Tie", "Worry Xuan Tie" and "Hanqie Tie"

, "Youmu Tie", "Dabao Tie", "Mei Zhi Tie"; Zhiyong's "Zhencao Thousand Character Essay", Yan Zhenqing's "Self-Letter", Mi Fu's "Hongxian Poetry Volume Tie",

We are going to Japan!"

country!"

"We want to see Yuan Daweide porcelain vases, we want to see Yuan blue and white figure jars, and we want to go to the Stars and Stripes Country, France, and the Maozi Country..."

"To see your own stuff, you have to spend money to see it at a robber's place. It's such a shame and humiliation! It hurts your skin!"
Chapter completed!
