Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 10 Goodbye, My Ancestors
In the center of the gloomy and solemn Haojing Hall, the area where the emperor receives the tribal leaders of various ethnic groups, Lin Feng, the host of the dialogue between the past and the present, is looking at the clay pots on the ground, all of which are products of ancient times.

Each earthen pot looks simple and the craftsmanship is average.

Actually?

In the information age of later generations, it is almost impossible to see it. It is conceivable that any earthenware vessel that appears in modern society will definitely cause a huge sensation.

Crockpot of Western Zhou Dynasty.

Collectible treasures with a price but no market are definitely not a joke.

A bunch of ancient utensils.

The live broadcast also caused a great uproar, because everyone had never seen the utensils in the Haojing Hall.

"The structure of each vessel is different, and it is covered with the oldest lines, which is incredible!"

"Is this a prop for the production of the show?"

"I have seen sporadic utensil paintings in some murals, which are very similar to the ones here."

"Fuck, this is highly restored!"

"The Great Hall of Haojing, the Emperor Wuwang, the Stele of Conferring Gods, ancient vessels, this show is really awesome."

"If such a show isn't popular, it's unacceptable."

"I really want to know what's in each of these earthen jars!"

……

The night was gloomy.

Old Professor Liang Zhongzheng sat in front of the computer, adjusted his glasses, and stared at the program hosted by Lin Feng without blinking.

Mr. Liang is an old professor in the archaeological field, and belongs to the Big Dipper of Mount Tai.

Half an hour ago, when he was searching for some archaeological secrets, he accidentally clicked on this program.

Then I couldn't help myself.

For him, every scene and thing in the program shot deeply shocked him.

What kind of scene is this built.

It is clearly the reappearance of the ancient times!
Mr. Liang has studied many ancient civilizations and presided over a lot of restoration work.

But his various studies, many records about the Western Zhou Dynasty, are being subverted now, and they are still being subverted by a new variety show, which makes the old professor have mixed feelings.

"Sir, please!"

King Wu stepped down from the high place, the number one emperor of China, walked to the crock placed on the first place.

Lin Feng followed and asked, "King Wu, what's in it?"

King Wu stretched out his hand, took out a few blades of grass from the first earthen jar, and said, "This is a herbal medicine that can cure diseases and injuries. It is called magnolia flower, and it is the most widely used herb in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Lin Feng said, "The juniors have heard that it is said that magnolia flower is pungent and warm, has a fragrant fragrance, ascends the head and face, is good at opening the nose, and is an important medicine for treating nasal sinus headaches. At the same time, it can be used for cold and hot as long as it is properly compatible. The value is quite high, and both internal and external use have good curative effect.”

King Wu asked, "Will people in later generations still use this thing to cure diseases?"

Lin Feng said, "Yes, this medicine is often added in the Chinese medicine industry."

Then King Wu introduced dozens of herbs.

Drugs for hemostasis, swelling, typhoid, migraine, dryness, etc.

Western Zhou Dynasty.

Although the productivity is backward, the technology of using various herbal medicines to treat diseases and injuries is very mature.

Then go to the second crock.

Here are some grains loaded.

What did the ancients eat?
This is also something that future generations are extremely curious about.

As the camera moved, Lin Feng, like all the audience watching the show, held his breath.

There are only two kinds of grains in it.

Xiaomi.

Soybeans.

The grains of this Xiaomi are not plump, a little shriveled, and the color is not good. It seems that the crop yield in the Western Zhou Dynasty was not high.

Soybeans are slightly better, but the finished products are at best the so-called defective products of future generations.

King Wu said with emotion, "The people of this king don't live long. The main reason is that there is not enough food, and the people eat one meal a day!"

Lin Feng clicked his tongue, eating one meal a day?
He asked, "King Wu, people, can we use wild animal meat?"

King Wu replied, "Yes, but wild beasts are fierce and cunning, and they are not easy to prey on. The proportion of food eaten by the people only accounts for 5.00%."

"More people have no food to eat, no meat to eat, and can only eat wild vegetables, wild fruits, mushrooms, and even bark!"

"Many mushrooms are highly poisonous, and no less than a thousand people die from poisonous mushrooms every year."

……

Due to hunger, disease, wars and other reasons, it is no wonder that the average life expectancy of the people in the early Western Zhou Dynasty was only about [-].

What can Lin Feng do?
Now he can only lead the audience to understand various real situations in the ancient times through the live broadcast of the camera.

In addition, he could not change the predicament of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The third crock vessel.

There are some fabrics in it.

Crafts such as spinning and weaving are said to have begun during the period of the Five Emperors.

Lin Feng picked up some and said, "King Wu, are the linen and silk cloth the best fabrics?"

King Wu replied, "The best is silk, satin and linen, that is, the robe on my king's body, which is made of spinning wheels."

Then, the camera focused on King Wu's clothes, and there were several highly detailed close-up details.

"Niucha, this Western Zhou silk fabric is better than my clothes."

"This is the great wisdom of the ancients."

"Which brickman said that in the time of King Wu, he had no clothes and could only wrap himself in dry grass? It's just nonsense."

"Hey, Brick bought it backwards, and the villa is near the sea."

"From this point of view, our Huaxia's textile embroidery technology is definitely far ahead of the world!"

"This is the charm of our ancient civilization."

……

Guangtai meeting room.

Deputy director Zhang Min frowned, and said, "Lin Feng is amazing, where can I find so many bottles and cans, and each one has a different production process, with a strong ancient atmosphere, and the robe worn by King Wu, The various embroidery on it, I am afraid that only the most advanced embroidery masters can make this effect."

Another leader next to him laughed and said, "Young Lin Feng, if you don't sing, you will be fine, and if you sing, you will be astonishing!"

Director Du also said, "The full score is 100, and all the props in the Haojing Hall can add 30 points to this show."

At this moment.

A background real-time data is sent to the conference room.

Zhang Min glanced at it and said with satisfaction, "The number of online viewers on all channels of our broadcasting station has exceeded 12."

Director Du was surprised, breaking the 10 mark?
This is a late night stall.

No publicity.

Today is only the first day of a small-scale trial broadcast. Who would have thought that Lin Feng would actually create a miracle.

To know weekdays.

Only 3 to [-] people watched the evening programs. After all, communication is too developed now. Young people don’t like to watch live TV, and the elderly have to go to bed early, so the evening programs have always been called tasteless.

Director Du couldn't help asking, "Deputy Director Zhang, I think we can adjust the broadcast time of Lin Feng's show that goes back to China."

Zhang Min replied, "Of course, this will be the most important program of our station, and it must be adjusted to the prime time."

Director Du feels at ease now.

It seems that it is only a matter of time before Lin Feng is stationed in CCTV.

In the lens.

King Wu was introducing Lin Feng to various situations in the Western Zhou Dynasty, such as medicine, agriculture, textiles, fishery, animal husbandry and so on.

This gave everyone a new understanding of the living conditions of the people in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

They also know how much sacrifice their ancestors made in order to survive and continue civilization.

How can people in the future not cherish the hard-won life now?

How can we not inherit the will of our ancestors and continue to develop civilization.

Let us, a big oriental country, always stand on the top of the world?
The show is coming to an end.

Both of them sat down at the table, as if they were about to bid a final farewell.

at this time.

King Wu stared at Xiao Lang, and suddenly said, "Sir, I think with your talent, you can also be engraved on this stele."

Lin Feng smiled wryly, "King Wu, this is the treasure of the Chinese ancestors, and the younger generation is the future generation, so I can't bear it."

King Wu laughed loudly, and said, "One day in the future, when the people of the future unearth these steles containing ancient monuments, sir, you will definitely be able to find a stele about yourself on it."

Lin Feng said sadly, "The Zhou Dynasty is three thousand years away from later generations, maybe everything has been buried in the dust of history!"

King Wu raised his glass and drank freely, and said, "The entire Haojing Hall will be left intact to future generations!"

Lin Feng stood up, saluted and said, "From generation to generation, I would like to thank King Wu again for his achievements."

King Wu said again, "The Great Hall of Haojing, as well as many utensils, will be left intact for future generations. Sir, please remember the vast mountains and rivers around here, and don't forget the direction in the future. Let this ancestral thing reappear in future generations." people……"

Lin Feng waved his hand and said reluctantly, "King Wu, goodbye!"

People who watched the live broadcast on the Internet also typed subtitles one by one:

"Zhou Tianzi, goodbye."

"Lord Wu, goodbye."

"The first son of China, goodbye."

"My ancestors, goodbye!"

The time and space around Lin Feng began to move away from the inside, and the whole person began to disappear gradually. The Haojing Hall, which contains a rich cultural atmosphere, is getting farther and farther away...

The screen turns.

Lin Feng returned to the studio.

Behind him is the picture scroll of the "Oath of Shepherd" that King Dao Wu used to defeat Zhou!
