I, compose the 5000 years of China

Chapter 289 The swan song of historians, Li Sao without rhyme... (for subscription)
As soon as Sima Qian's story came out, the entire conference room was filled with incomparable solemnity.

"Taishi Company, Sima Qian."

Everyone was chanting Sima Qian's name.

In Sima Qian, they saw an attitude of defending history with life and dignity.

They also learned from Sima Qian what a real historian is.

"Mr. Chen Fan, I seem to have seen this Mr. Sima Qian in some historical materials before. However, the records are not detailed, there is only a name, saying that he is a historian. But his life, and other things, there is no How to introduce."

"So, this is why we want to compile history."

"Teacher Chen Fan, you are the team leader, let me tell you how to arrange it later."

On the one hand, he was impressed by Chen Fan's talent, and on the other hand, he was deeply shocked by Sima Qian, a historian.

After Chen Fan finished speaking about Sima Qian, everyone felt that a fire was about to come out.

They said to themselves in their hearts.

In the future, they will follow Sima Qian to compile "Historical Records" with a lifetime ambition.

"Everyone is my senior. Today is just a meeting. You can talk freely about what you have. However, there is one problem right now. When it comes to editing history, where should we start?"

Chen Fan added: "As you all know, China has a history of thousands of years. Let's not talk about the history of the Yellow Emperor period. The history of many dynasties is not particularly detailed. At most, the history books after the Ming Dynasty are slightly more detailed. .And we are faced with these dozens of dynasties, and it is impossible for us to complete all the dynasties at once. What I mean is, we can go down one dynasty after another. "

"Teacher Chen Fan, you are right. It is impossible to complete thousands of years of history at once. It is indeed necessary to start from one dynasty to another."

"Then let's discuss, which dynasty should we start to cultivate?"

This said.

For a while, all the professors and scholars at the meeting spoke freely.

"I think it should start from the Han Dynasty, after all, we are Han people."

"I think it should start from the Tang Dynasty. We are not only Han people, but also Tang people."

"I think we should start from the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty has a lot of documents and it is easy to repair. But the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty have fewer documents handed down."

for a while.

No one convinced anyone.

At last.

Professor Zhou looked at Chen Fan: "Mr. Chen Fan, let's talk about it."

"I think it's better to start with the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period."

Chen Fan put forward his own suggestion.

"Teacher Chen Fan, why start with the Spring and Autumn and Warring States? You also know that the literature of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period is the least handed down."

"Because there are few, we should cultivate more."

Chen Fan said: "As for the Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty... everyone actually has a general impression of these dynasties. But for the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, many people don't have much impression. Everyone knows that we compile history Not only to compile history, but more importantly, for the next generation, so that everyone can know where we come from and where we should go. The Han Dynasty is not the starting point of our history, of course, neither is the Spring and Autumn and Warring States. However, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were precisely the period in which our thoughts on Chinese culture and the structure of our Chinese civilization were formed. Moreover, while we are cultivating, we can also explain to the audience, or even science books, so that more people, readers , history buffs... and everyone, participate in our history."

As for why everyone is involved.

It's also simple.

Compiling history is too boring. If everyone is forced to work hard for decades, everyone will go crazy.

In the past, this was the only way to do it when there was no other way, but now... more people can participate. On the one hand, it is science, and on the other hand, it can also stimulate countless people's interest in history.

"I agree with Teacher Chen Fan's statement."

"In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought contend, hahaha, the lecture of a hundred schools of thought held by Mr. Chen Fan before is good. I also very much look forward to making everyone familiar with this era of a hundred schools of thought."

"Okay, let's start from the source."

Chen Fan's proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone.

of course.

They know it too.

On the one hand, what Chen Fan said was indeed reasonable.

On the other hand, even if it is unreasonable, as the team leader's suggestion, everyone has to consider it carefully.

……

"Mr. Chen Fan, this is the key to the National Library. In the future, you can borrow all the books within your authority at any time."

"Besides, Teacher Chen Fan, if you need anything, you can always find me."

a week later.

With Chen Fan leading the team, the compilation of the history of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States officially began.

However, the first step in this compilation is not to write directly, but to find historical materials first.

Although Chen Fan also has a certain understanding of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States.

But it would be best to find more historical materials.

Fortunately.

Although the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods in this world lack a lot of historical materials, they are not without everything.

In some ancient books, on some ancient books, it can still be found from time to time.

It's just relatively incomplete.

of course.

Some ancient books are not history books, and some only mention the history of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods in other books.

But it's also quite valuable.

This is actually evidence.

In addition, although there are no specific written records, many cultural relics from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods have been unearthed.

For example, in the Museum of Wu Province, he hides a Goujian sword of the king of Yue.

The place where it was unearthed is also very strange, not in the country of Yue, but in the country of Chu.

But there is a problem here.

Why did King Goujian of Yue appear on the territory of Chu State?

Isn't this the king's own sword?
of course.

Chen Fan couldn't fully explain it either.

Even if it is the previous life, there are several theories in it.

One theory is that the king of Yue once married his daughter to the king of Chu Zhao, because this sword was considered a dowry and followed to the state of Chu.

The other said that this was the spoils of Chu.

Although Goujian was more powerful at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, after entering the Warring States Period, the State of Chu wiped out the State of Yue.

So the Yue King Goujian sword was captured by the Chu army and brought back to the Chu State, where it eventually became a funeral object.

of course.

It's not like Chen Fan wants to find out what's going on with this sword now.

Regarding these details, it is not the most important for Chen Fan's current task of compiling history.

These details can be fixed later.

Or leave it for others to investigate.

The important thing is.

Chen Fan knew.

Through these cultural relics, he has a high probability of being able to restore the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

……

History does not know the time.

Those who can be selected by the superiors to participate in this work of compiling history are not waiting for the virtuous generation.

After Chen Fan finished the task, the group of people divided their work and searched for a series of historical materials.

And at this moment, Xu Liang, who had been waiting for Chen Fan for several days, finally couldn't take it anymore, and called Chen Fan: "Mr. Chen Fan, where are you?"

"I'm at the National Library, Director Xu, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Chen Fan, please forgive me. What are you talking about? Our program is still waiting for you."

"Didn't it say once a month?"

"Look, how long has it been?"

"Yo……"

Take a look at the time.

have to.

More than 20 days have passed since Chen Fan set up the history compilation work.

5 more days, that's one month.

"Well, Director Xu, don't panic, there are still five days left."

Although a little embarrassed, Chen Fan still let Xu Liang calm down: "Actually, recently I have been thinking about what China is about in our second issue of classics."

"say what?"

"Talk about Sima Qian, talk about historical records."

"Sima Qian, Shiji?"

As for Li Shizhen from before, Xu Liang still has some understanding.

But who is Sima Qian that Chen Fan is talking about?
And what is the history?
"Look, you're ignorant, but it's okay. After we produce this episode of the program, you'll know who Sima Qian really is."

"Mr. Chen Fan, I believe in you, but you should come to our CCTV."

After finishing speaking, Xu Liang continued: "Don't, don't, Teacher Chen Fan, you are waiting at the National Library, and I will pick you up. Don't leave, I will come right away, right away."

"Haha, slow down, I won't run away."

Chen Fan smiled and sat in the National Library, waiting for Xu Liang's arrival with peace of mind.

……

"By the way, Xu Liang, is Mr. Yang still there?"

"He's back."

"Ah, why did Mr. Yang go back?"

"Mr. Chen Fan, you've been gone for almost a month. Besides, Mr. Yang is so old, he can't stay on our CCTV all the time."

"That's what I said, but I still want to ask Mr. Yang to act in a drama."

"Mr. Chen Fan, don't mess around. Mr. Yang has stopped performing dramas a long time ago. Besides, you also know Mr. Yang's age. If there is a mistake during the performance, I can't afford it."

"Then... alright. However, the lead actor in the second episode must be a capable person, and I have to check it out myself."

"OK, I'll listen to you."

Just a pity.

After Chen Fan returned to CCTV, there were no problems with the whole rehearsal and arrangement.

But for Sima Qian, Chen Fan really couldn't find a suitable actor.

When Chen Fan was having a headache, Yang Junru suddenly appeared.

"Old Yang, why are you here?"

Seeing Yang Junru, Chen Fan quickly invited Yang Junru to sit down.

"Hahaha, I didn't want to come, but I heard that you wanted me to act in a play, so I came."

Yang Junru laughed out loud.

Xu Liang on the side said worriedly: "Old Yang, haven't you washed your hands in the golden basin?"

"Just wash your hands, don't take it seriously."

"I……"

Xu Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Yang Junru didn't care, and said, "Besides, I had an agreement with Chen Fan back then."

This said.

Chen Fan really remembered the conversation he had with Yang Junru at that time.

At that time, it was still in Hangzhou.

When Chen Fan launched the "Blessed Lovers" play, Yang Junru was very emotional at that time, and asked when he could perform with Chen Fan.

But after a few years, Chen Fan almost forgot about it.

Although he also thought of Yang Junru before, but when Xu Liang mentioned Yang Junru's age, Chen Fan didn't make any further plans.

Unexpectedly, Yang Junru still remembered this agreement.

Seeing that Chen Fan was in a daze, Yang Junru said, "Chen Fan, you won't forget."

"Uh……"

Chen Fan shook his head: "How is it possible, Mr. Yang, how could I forget. But, you see, you are over 80..."

"What's wrong with being over 80? You didn't die when you were over 80. Besides, when you talked about the Three Kingdoms, you said that Huang Zhong was still leading troops to fight when he was over 70. There is also General Zhao Guochong of the Han Dynasty who was still in his 80s and conquered the Qiang people. If I’m in my 80s, if I don’t talk about leading troops to fight wars, why can’t I act in dramas?”

"That……"

Chen Fan looked at Xu Liang.

Then he looked back carefully at the physical condition of old man Yang Junru.

"Old Yang, your voice is loud and loud. Although your blood is not as strong as ours, you are still full of vitality. In this case, I agree with Elder Yang to appear in our second performance."

I have learned a lot of Chinese medicine before.

Although he didn't check the pulse of old man Yang, he still has the ability to see a doctor.

According to the current situation of the old man, as long as there is no intense exercise, it should be fine.

It just so happens that Mr. Yang can play the old version of Sima Qian, but the young Sima Qian can be played by someone else.

"Hahaha, that's great. Chen Fan, let's compare and see whose level is higher."

"Old Yang, how old are you, and you still compare yourself to a young man like me?"

"Are you still young? You have countless fans. Every time I watch your video, there are a lot of supporters. Even though I am old, I still refuse to accept it. I have to compare myself to you."

"Hahaha, okay, Mr. Yang, let's compare then."

When Mr. Yang said this, Chen Fan also became full of arrogance, and was a little excited for a while.

"By the way, Chen Fan, which role should I play?"

"Taishi Company, Sima Qian."

"Who is Sima Qian?"

"If you want to tell who Sima Qian is, you can't finish it in one or two sentences. This is the script, Mr. Yang, please read it first."

Chen Fan handed the script to Yang Junru.

Although Yang Junru has been washing his hands for many years, he is extremely persistent in art.

He got up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Then, Yang Junru put on his reading glasses and read the script of the second issue of "China in Classics" very seriously.

And when Yang Junru finished reading all the scripts.

Yang Junru's hands trembled excitedly: "I will have no regrets in my life if I can play the role of Mr. Sima Qian."

……

"Brothers, Brother Fan hasn't erupted in a long time."

"I heard that I went to study history."

"I'm stupid, I really went to study history."

"What do you say?"

Chen Fan quickly shook the fan base, and many people started talking about Chen Fan.

"But how did I hear that CCTV's "China in the Classics" has new news."

"What new news?"

"It is said that the second issue of "China in Classics" is coming out."

"It means that Brother Fan is about to appear?"

After saying this, everyone started to @陈蕾 again.

Just a pity.

A group of fans sent a lot of messages, but Chen Fan did not go online.

"Forget it, everyone, don't send private messages to Brother Fan, I'm probably busy with the show."

"Mainly, I want Brother Fan to reveal to us some information about the second issue."

"CCTV seems to be running an advertisement, haven't you seen it? The second episode is about Sima Qian."

"Who is Sima Qian?"

"I don't know either. However, it seems that Brother Fan mentioned this person before, but I don't remember much."

"It seems that during Ban Gu's period, Ban Guxiu's Han Shu was actually a continuation of Sima Qian's "Historical Records."

"understood."

Many people began to recall.

"Besides, Brother Fan mentioned Sima Qian a few times before. He called Sima Qian the Grand Historian, and he felt that he respected Sima Qian very much."

"So, Sima Qian is also a historian."

"Yes, it is said that Fan Ge's ancestor was also a historian, and I don't know what relationship he has with Sima Qian."

With this said, everyone became extremely curious about Sima Qian's identity.

It's just that there is too little information about Sima Qian.

Everyone guessed and guessed, and they didn't know Sima Qian very well.

but.

Just when everyone was preparing to watch the show, at 12 o'clock that night, Chen Fan suddenly went online.

"I'll go, Brother Fan, blast your soul, go online at 12 o'clock?"

"Didn't you send me so many private messages, and I don't know what happened to you, so I came to see you."

"Brother Fan, we were wrong, nothing happened to us, we just missed you"

Seeing that Chen Fan cared so much about them, the fans were a little embarrassed.

Considering that they are so busy, and they always think about Chen Fan going online to give them a little trouble, many fans feel a little bit sorry.

So the gossip was stopped, and many fans became serious.

This made Chen Fan a little strange: "Just look at me, nothing else?"

"nothing else."

"Then I'm off."

Chen Fan pretended to go down.

At this time, a group of fans in the channel finally got anxious and asked, "Brother Fan, Brother Fan, don't go down first, ask a few gossips before leaving."

"Hahaha, I know you have something to do, so tell me, what gossip?"

"I heard that you went to study history?"

"Ah."

"Are you really going to study history?"

"Didn't you say it before?"

"I'm going... ahhh, I thought you were just talking, but I didn't expect you to really cultivate."

Everyone was boiling.

"Brother Fan, Brother Fan, should I call you Da Shi now?"

"You can also call it that, but it just feels a little weird."

"It's not strange, it's not strange, it's pleasing to the ear after listening too much."

"Well, does Xiushi get paid?"

"Have."

"The work of compiling history seems to be famous in history, Brother Fan, you will be famous for a thousand years in the future."

"It's not such an exaggeration. I mainly sort out the history books written by the sages. If I talk about contributions, I don't have any contributions at all."

"Brother Fan, you're being humble again."

To everyone, this kind of work of compiling history is simply a big event that honors the ancestors and smokes from the ancestral graves.

Everyone admired him immensely.

Then, a group of fans asked again: "Brother Fan, the second episode of "China in Classics" will be broadcast in a few days."

"Yes, the rehearsal is almost over now."

"Are you talking about Sima Qian?"

"Correct."

"This Sima Qian is the Mr. Tai Shigong you mentioned earlier?"

"Yes."

"A historian too?"

"Ah."

"Can you tell us about Sima Qian?"

"Well, it's actually not a big deal. Mr. Tai Shigong is a historian and wrote a history book called Shiji."

"Isn't that too simple?"

"It's actually that simple."

Chen Fan nodded.

A crowd of fans went crazy: "Brother Fan, stop teasing us, and reveal a little more."

"No, enough has been revealed."

"Brother Fan, just reveal a little more, a word is enough, otherwise, we won't be able to sleep."

"Then... let's do it."

There is really no way to get them.

After thinking about it, Chen Fan took out a pen and wrote down a sentence: "The swan song of historians, Li Sao without rhyme."
