Seek common ground while reserving differences. Common ground means that the general direction must be based on the framework established by Zixiaoguan. Difference means that each faction is allowed to retain its own characteristics while adhering to the framework.
This framework cannot be said to be simple, after all, it involves all aspects. It cannot be said to be complex, after all, it is just a framework.
Ten days and a half are enough for them to finalize the basic reform plan.
The opportunity for the rise of Longhu Mountain that has been anticipated for hundreds of years is just around the corner. Zhang Tongxuan has long been eager to go back, and Zhang Ping will naturally follow suit.
For a young girl who has just begun to fall in love, it is extremely difficult to give up.
Chen Jingke was not the kind of heartless person, so he took advantage of the last few days to spend time with her and took her to visit the famous scenic spots in Chang'an.
He also took out his mobile phone and secretly took many videos and photos of her.
Of course, he did not forget about business and took time to write books related to Chinese civilization.
Time flies so fast in the busy schedule, and before I know it, a week has passed, and Zhang Tongxuan formally bid farewell.
Sun Simiao sent them to the gate of Zixiao Temple and went back, while Chen Jingke sent them all the way more than ten miles outside the city.
Zhang Tongxuan asked someone to stop the car and advised: "I have to say goodbye after a long journey. Master Chen, please come back. After two years, I will find an opportunity for Ping'er to come to Beijing."
Looking at Zhang Ping with pear blossoms and rain, Chen Jingke was also full of reluctance. He got off the horse and said: "Master Zhang, can you let Ping'er and I say a few words alone to say goodbye?"
"Okay." Zhang Tongxuan naturally would not be that evil person, and he also ordered the coachman to drive the carriage aside to leave enough space for the two of them.
Zhang Ping jumped down from the carriage, regardless of the fact that her father and brother were not far away, she threw herself into Chen Jingke's arms and said, "I...I don't want to leave, I can't bear to leave you."
Chen Jingke also felt sad, hugged her and said, "I can't bear to leave you either."
After being gentle for a while, Chen Jingke let go of her, took out something from the saddle bag on his horse, and said, "This is a gift from me. It's a specialty of my hometown. There's only one in the world."
Zhang Ping looked curiously and found that it was a square box as big as a palm, made of materials that she had never seen before.
Even if she didn't know what it was, she could tell it was very precious. She said happily: "What... is this?"
"Compass, come and let me teach you how to use it." Chen Jingke opened the cover and revealed the main body of the compass inside.
Zhang Ping's eyes suddenly widened. It was such a beautiful utensil. But what surprised her even more was the huge round transparent gemstone on top of the utensil.
Using gemstones as a surface is too luxurious.
"This...this is..."
Chen Jingke explained to her how to use the compass, but unfortunately there was no corresponding map to accompany it, which greatly reduced its value.
After learning the use of this thing, Zhang Ping couldn't understand it even more. Isn't it just Siman? Is it necessary to make it so luxurious? This gem can be exchanged for countless Siman.
But it is really exquisite and easy to carry. It is much easier to use than Simon. What's more, it was given to me by him, so that would be even better.
So she put away the compass with great care.
Soon Zhang Heng called her over from a distance. He would have to go to the Weishui River Pier to catch the boat to Luoyang later. If he was delayed, he would have to wait for the next trip.
About to say goodbye, Zhang Ping's tears began to fall again.
Chen Jingke sighed: "Go quickly, the days are still long, and maybe it won't be long before we can see each other again."
Zhang Ping even swallowed: "Don't lie to me. How can it be so easy to see each other thousands of miles away? Maybe this goodbye will last forever..."
Chen Jingke quickly covered her mouth and said, "Bah, we don't want to say such depressing words. Have you forgotten our agreement? We have to have a lot of children."
It's okay if I don't say it, but it makes me even more sad when I mention Zhang Ping.
Ancient times are not modern. Transportation is inconvenient and medicine is underdeveloped. The distance of more than two thousand miles may really mean that heaven and earth are separated forever.
Chen Jingke had no choice but to be cruel and took her hand to the side of the carriage. He cupped his hands towards Zhang Heng and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, Ping'er will be entrusted to you for the time being."
Seeing his sister's sad look, Zhang Heng felt sour in his heart and said, "She is my sister, I will take good care of her."
The carriage set off again. Looking at Zhang Ping's reluctant face at the window, Chen Jingke felt very uncomfortable. A poem suddenly appeared in his mind, and he shouted loudly:
Thin clouds make tricks, flying stars spread hatred, and silvery people are far away in darkness.
Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will defeat countless people in the world.
Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, and I can’t bear to look at the magpie bridge on my way back.
If the love between two people lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night?
He shouted several times in succession until the carriage disappeared before he got on his horse and returned to Chang'an City without looking back.
On the other side, Zhang Ping could no longer care about her sadness and urged her father and brother: "Did you hear clearly? Come on, come on, come on, help me write it down."
Naturally, there was no way to prepare pen and ink at this time, so she thought of a way by herself and wrote on a piece of silk with black thrush powder.
Then I took the piece of silk and read it over and over, and gradually I became intoxicated.
Zhang Tongxuan and Zhang Heng were also surprised. This long and short sentence is a classic. Especially the two sentences at the end can be regarded as famous sentences handed down from generation to generation.
The key is that they wrote this with their own eyes.
Chen Jingke's literary talent is really amazing.
…
After sending his little lover away, Chen Jingke put down all his secular affairs and started writing a book behind closed doors.
There are two books he wants to write, one is "A Brief History of China" and the other is "Chinese Civilization".
A Brief History of China, as the name suggests, is the past history of Chinese civilization.
He did not talk about history directly, but first talked about some historical knowledge at the beginning. For example, he bluntly pointed out that the purpose of everyone writing history before was wrong.
In the past, history was not written for the common people so that they could remember history or something. It was written for the ruling class so that they could learn lessons from it.
He severely criticized this idea, saying that it was a narrow and selfish idea.
History books should be open to everyone, letting everyone know what our ancestors did and how our civilization got to where it is today.
Only by letting everyone understand these can we unify our thoughts and form a unified view of civilized ethnic groups.
Only by understanding this can the loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and justice we emphasize have practical value - because all of these are precious treasures left to us by our ancestors.
A person who doesn't even know who he is and where he comes from, why do you require him to abide by ethics?
In addition to the above, he also explained several methods of writing history and interpreting history. These are all experiences summed up by historians in the past, and he is just a co-optationist.
He wrote more than 10,000 words on this historical treatise. In his previous life, it was just one essay, but in ancient times it could have been enough to publish a book.
He doesn't know how much effect it can have, but he only hopes it can help people understand history more correctly.
After that comes the real content of the Brief History of China, which is actually the stories of historical figures selected according to the order of historical development.
The opening chapter is about the stories of human ancestors such as the Chao family, the Zhenyi family, the Suiren family, the Zhisheng family, the Fuxi family, and the Shennong family.
Then the Yellow Emperor fought against Chiyou, Leizu raised silkworms and reeled silk, Yao and Shun of the Tang Dynasty, Dayu controlled floods, Xia, Shang and Zhou... the first emperor unified the six countries, and the Han Dynasty was established to its demise...
Some stories are fabricated and some are true, but they are basically positive stories that reflect the heroic and fearless spirit of the Chinese nation.
Of course, they are not all positive stories. What should be darkened should be darkened. For example, in the Jin Dynasty, he turned his pen and darkened the Sima family to death.
He talked about things like turning history back, why not eat minced meat, the Yongjia Rebellion, and how the ancestor Ti died of depression after hearing the chicken dance.
By the way, he also hacked a bunch of nobles. These people occupied the court and only talked about mysteries every day to hold them back. They hid in the south of the Yangtze River to amuse themselves.
Naturally, Li Tang had to be praised. After all, he was eating other people's food, so it would be unreasonable not to dress him up more beautifully.
They focused on praising Li Shimin and his various brilliance and prowess. Anyway, Chen Jingke blushed for Li Shimin when he saw it.
This book seemed to have a lot of content, but it was actually easy to compile. He just took the history books and excerpted them one by one, and it didn't take him much time.
What I really spent time on was "Chinese Civilization". This book talks about the origin and development of the Chinese ethnic group.
There are not many references, and he basically relies on archaeological data from his past life and... random fabrication.
Chinese civilization and the Han people have never been a group based on blood, but cultural identity as the core, so there is a saying that the Yi and the Di are the Chinese.
Those who accept our civilization and are willing to become one of us are Chinese, but not vice versa. The formation of this idea can be traced back to ancient times.
According to archaeological data, there were several different civilizations in the ancient Yellow River Basin, and the Chinese ancestors were just one of them.
They successively conquered all surrounding civilizations, absorbed each other's advantages and merged with each other's blood to strengthen themselves, and eventually became the only civilization in the Yellow River Basin.
Our ancestors did not stop because of this, but continued to conquer east and west.
In the past, archaeologists discovered a Great Wall in the Xiangyang area that was more than 5,000 years ago. Research has shown that it was built by the southern civilization to resist the Chinese civilization.
The final result was that the Chinese civilization achieved a comprehensive victory, and the civilizations in the Yangtze River Basin and even further south were conquered and became part of the Chinese civilization.
The famous Sanxingdui Civilization later became part of the Chinese civilization.
Hundreds of years ago, the core group of Chinese civilization established an unprecedentedly powerful empire on this land, the Han Empire.
An ethnic group was formed, the Han people.
…
It can be said that from the beginning of its birth, Chinese civilization has been continuously absorbing the advantages of all civilizations in East Asia and growing.
It is precisely because of this that our civilization is so diverse, so inclusive, and so brilliant.
Our profound cultural heritage is unmatched by any civilization on earth.
Why are Westerners so hostile to Chinese civilization? In addition to interests, there is also the fact that their cultural heritage is too weak. Facing the impact of Chinese civilization has only one consequence: assimilation.
That's why they feel like they're facing a formidable enemy.
We have no worries about this at all, and have even taken the initiative to absorb the advantages of Western civilization and complete another transformation.
This is cultural heritage and the most precious wealth left to us by our ancestors.
The Tang Dynasty was undoubtedly a country with strong enterprising spirit and strong tolerance. What Chen Jingke had to do was to use this style to complete the unification of civilization and ideology.
In this way, after a few hundred years, there will no longer be barbarians in China, but a more powerful and glorious Han Dynasty.
To be more precise, it should be a powerful Chinese civilization.
