Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 252

"Mr. Lin, what you said is true, the common people of the world 1000 years later, can all see us?"

Zhao Kuangyin was very surprised, raising his head from time to time, his dragon eyes shining brightly, looking for the "camera"!
Unfortunately.

The photography of this live broadcast was built with the system, hiding the void.

Lin Feng said, "Great Ancestor, isn't this great? Let future generations appreciate the majesty and majesty of the imperial city of the Song Dynasty."

Majestic style...

Zhao Kuangyin's face turned dark.

The imperial city is majestic and majestic, there is nothing wrong with that, but what about the emperors of his old Zhao family?
One is better than the other!
Taizong was defeated in consecutive battles; Zhenzong shamelessly ran to Taishan to enshrine Zen, Renzong Zhao Zhen won a good reputation among scholars, and basically did nothing during his 40-year reign; Success is a big event; Song Weizong and Song Qinzong's father and son were even worse. During the Jingkang battle, they were both taken away by foreigners and used as slaves.

The Southern Song Dynasty was even worse.

It's no wonder that Zhao Gou's sycophant, Qin Hui, killed the essence and loyally served General Guoyue, and the emperor behind him didn't mention it, he didn't have a sense of existence.

So for Zhao Kuangyin, the great ancestor who founded the Great Song Dynasty.

Shabby!
Shame!
Lin Feng said indifferently, "Taizu, after a thousand years, everything has become a cloud, and people in later generations can only remember the Great Song Dynasty."

Zhao Kuangyin, "..."

He turned his head, frowned, almost bleeding from his heart.

Brat, dare you talk while standing up without pain in your back!
Of course you don't care, you are not from the Song Dynasty, nor are you the ancestors of the later generations, of course you can hang up high above yourself, but we, the eighteen emperors of ancient times, think that we are high and in charge of Kyushu, Don't lose face!

Lin Feng is also a master who doesn't think things are too big, and said with a smile, "Seniors, let's say hello to the millennium generations!"

He pointed to a void.

It was dark there, like a cave floating high in the sky, looking down on the earth of the world.

"Later, good future generations..."

"Are you guys OK……"

"Zhao Zhen is in ancient times, how are you all..."

"Uh, hello, all descendants of China..."

The sons of Song Dynasty shouted weakly one by one, which made Zhao Kuangyin even more angry.

The audience who watched the show were all happy.

These Ninth Five-Year Venerables in ancient China, in fact, also have a cute side.

In the end, at the request of the host Lin Feng, even Zhao Kuangyin, who was unhappy, greeted Gao Tian.

That's it for the show.

It's almost at the end.

Zhao Kuangyin is a smart and excellent emperor. Knowing this, he said, "Mr. Lin, you said that there is a point of view in the millennium later, that there will be no China after the Yahai War, and the grassland regime that ruled the Central Plains, whether it belongs to China or not?" ?”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuangyin was still struggling with this point.

Yes!

The Mongolian iron cavalry from the far north entered the Central Plains and established the Yuan Dynasty.

What is the status of this Yuan Dynasty?
It is said that it is the Huaxia Dynasty, but it was established by the grassland regime, and has no connection with the Central Plains at all.

Say this is his regime?The key is that it has been in China for a hundred years!

As the so-called Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties...

In Lin Feng's view, the century-old Yuan Dynasty naturally belongs to the feudal history of ancient China.

of course.

In the view of some people in modern times, there will be objections to this.

It is believed that the Yuan Dynasty did not belong to China, and that the Yuan Dynasty belonged to foreign invasion at that time, but is this really the case?
Unlike other countries that distinguish similarities and differences by blood and ethnicity, my country has always judged you and me by civilization.

Han Yu said: "Confucius's "Spring and Autumn" is also, the princes use barbarian rituals to barbarize them, and barbarians enter China to make China."

In other words, as long as you agree with Chinese culture, then you are a part of China, regardless of your blood status.

In 1206 AD, Temujin established the "Great Mongol Kingdom" at the source of the Onan River. Many people believe that the Yuan Dynasty was not a Chinese civilization because of this.

The above division of civilization does not belong to the Great Mongol Kingdom, but it does not mean that the Yuan Dynasty does not belong to the Chinese civilization.

In 1271 A.D., Kublai Khan, the fifth great Khan of the Mongolian Kingdom, established his dynasty. Because the country was so vast that it has never been seen in ancient and modern times, the name of the country was changed to "Great Yuan" from the "Book of Changes" meaning "Great Yuan", and an imperial edict was issued. Compose the history of Song Dynasty.

Compiling official history in ancient my country was a political task of great significance, and it was to express one's legitimacy to the world.And Kublai Khan's order to revise the history just means that his Yuan Dynasty is the successor of the Song Dynasty.The history of the Ming Dynasty's revision of the Yuan Dynasty later shows that Zhu Yuanzhang recognized that the Yuan Dynasty was part of Chinese civilization.

Han people Dou Mo, monks Zi Cong, Zhao Bi, Wang E and others often accompanied Kublai Khan, explaining Confucian classics such as "Book of Filial Piety", "Book of History" and "Book of Changes" to him.Kublai Khan built the Taimiao after Jianyuan, and used the traditional Chinese method to pay homage to the ancestors, which was recognized by Confucian scholars.

"Yuan Shi" and other classics wrote 864 biographies, of which Han people accounted for 47%, and these 409 Han officials were almost all Confucian children.In terms of sacrifices, the Yuan Dynasty focused on offering sacrifices to Chinese gods such as Heaven and Earth, Ancestral Temple, Sheji, Xiannong, Xiansheng, Yuezhen, Haidu, Wind Master, Rain Master, and Thunder Master.

From all this, it can be seen that at least Kublai Khan recognized Chinese civilization.

After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, many scholars advocated turning barbarians into China and allowing the Yuan court to adopt Confucianism to govern the country. Therefore, scholars represented by Yelu Chucai, Yang Huan, Hao Jing, and Xu Heng contributed Chinese laws and regulations, and promoted Confucianism to the Mongolian ruling class. theory.

Zhao Fu, a famous official, established the "Tai Chi Academy" to teach Neo Confucianism after being captured by the Mongolian army. The Confucianism students trained by him began to influence the Yuan royal family through their own abilities.

In 1307 AD, Emperor Wuzong of the Yuan Dynasty bestowed upon Confucius the title of "King of Wenxuan, the Most Sage of Dacheng", and respected Confucianism as the official school.

During the Yuan Renzong period, the Yuan government resumed the imperial examination and designated Confucian classics as official textbooks.

In order to suppress the Mongolian nobles, starting from Kublai Khan, Emperor Yuan had to promote the status of Confucianism and win the support of the Han people.

Every generation of emperors since him has a good sense of Sinology, and successfully made a group of Mongolian nobles represented by Lian Xixian, Zhenjin, Baizhu, and Tuotuo become Confucian scholars.

After Yuan Yingzong ascended the throne, he promoted "ruling the country with Confucianism", intending to implement Han law in an all-round way.

The name of the Yuan Dynasty comes from the "Book of Changes". The emperors of all dynasties studied Confucianism, conferred the title of Confucius, selected talents through the imperial examination, and promoted Sinology. Is this different from other dynasties in history?What's more, it can be seen from the three histories of Song, Liao, and Jin in the Yuan Dynasty that the Yuan Dynasty completely regarded itself as Chinese orthodox.

Therefore, the Yuan Dynasty is a part of Chinese culture both from the origin and the development process.

It was also said.

When the Yuan Dynasty government went south, it burned, killed and looted, causing huge massacres in the Central Plains.

However, the establishment of which dynasty is not a one-off success?

Just say that the establishment of the Qin Dynasty was completed without bloodshed?
In the battle of Changping alone, tens of thousands of people were killed and injured!

Not an exaggeration to say.

Every supreme throne is stained with blood.

In every palace, dead bodies are buried.

In every piece of sky, there are countless resentful spirits floating.

……

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if the Chinese civilization of thousands of years was ruined from the Song Dynasty.

Then his old Zhao family is a sinner through the ages.

Even if the eighteen emperors of the Song Dynasty took it together, they would not be able to bear this responsibility!
"Mr. Lin, our wish has been fulfilled, it's time to go!" Song Renzong said respectfully.

Followed by.

The seventeen emperors all knelt down and bid farewell to Taizu.

Zhao Guangyi didn't use it at first, but since everyone has done it, let's do it too!

Anyway, there is no shortage of this kind of kneeling in the court hall on weekdays.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the emperors of the Zhao family, from the disappointment, anger, and sadness at the beginning, now he is reluctant to leave.

Eighteen generations of grandparents and grandchildren gathered together.

How much blessing is this?

Many emperors bowed their heads, their eyes filled with tears.

"Junior Lin Feng, send you all the emperors..."

With a swipe of Lin Feng's hand, the emperors of the Song Dynasty began to rise out of thin air, rushing to the sky, and wanted to return to their respective homes and their respective time and space planes.

"When you return to the court, you must work hard for the common people..." Zhao Kuangyin shouted.

Not long after, in this piece of pavilions and pavilions, there was only a picture of three people facing each other.

"Taizu, this junior is going home too!" Lin Feng said.

"Mr. Lin, wait a moment, I want to give you a gift." Zhao Kuangyin greeted the palace slave.

Soon a wooden box was brought over, and when I opened it, it was a basic book.

"Taizu, this is?" Lin Feng was shocked when he saw the name on the book.

It turned out to be written by Taizu himself.

"This is the history I have spent many years writing down, stroke by stroke, the history before the Great Song Dynasty."

"Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there were constant wars, and the land was devastated. I am worried that future generations will find it difficult to trace this period of history, and I will not be able to sleep at night, so I left this historical record."

"This time I hand it over to you, and bring it back to future generations, so that the Chinese people of future generations can understand the true history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms."

"Let future generations know that peace is not easy."

……

Lin Feng kept it with a lot of thoughts. This is the book written by Song Taizu, and there are sections of real history that happened in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It is absolutely precious!
"Taizu, this is a gift from the junior..."

Relatively speaking, Lin Feng's gift is very light. A set of books on the history of Chinese civilization is not expensive.

But for the ancients, the value of being able to see the process of thousands of years up and down is too great.

Only one person was not happy.

It's Taizong Zhao Guangyi, who was obviously left out by Lin Feng. Why, I don't have the gift?
Lin Feng smiled awkwardly, indeed he only brought one gift, Emperor Taizong, otherwise, you and Taizu take turns to read it!
"Taizu, farewell!!!"

"Young man, farewell!!!"
