Chapter 39 Historical Materials and Facts
Many people say that the friendship between classmates in college is not as good as that of high school. College is a small society. Everyone only has money and no friendship. Perhaps, it is not the case. In this transitional stage from youth to adulthood, those who accompany you and those who spend together with you are usually the most unforgettable. At this most beautiful age, classmates can always weave many beautiful memories.
When we get married and get married, and receive a call from classmates whom we haven't contacted for a long time, and when we hear the familiar blessings, you will smile slightly. In that moment, all the memories of our youth seem to emerge and appear in front of you.
This time the association was held very successfully. Class monitor Su was still capable. She not only defeated Aili, but also achieved her own goal, which was to increase the relationship between classmates. During the play and play, everyone also had an impression of each other. Even for a bastard like Aili, she remembered the names of four or five female classmates.
To be honest, the courses in the Academy of Sciences seem a bit boring. After the initial curiosity, the following courses, no matter how wonderful the professor tells them, no matter how much you love history, you will feel a bit boring. After all, there are a few people who face these things every day. They can maintain enthusiasm in their studies, and probably these very few people who can realize their dreams in the end.
Chen Ai is exceptional. He has no such boring mood that ordinary people have at all. I really don’t know whether this is a good or a bad thing. In any case, Chen Ai still treats history with the high enthusiasm he had when he first entered university... Ancient history has begun to tell ancient India, and Professor Chen is proficient in the history of ancient civilizations. The advantage of this is that he can combine the exchanges between several major civilizations, first telling several civilizations separately, and then connecting them.
"Before the last century, no one thought that India had ancient civilizations... After all, these people have no civilization... However, when we study history, we cannot mix too many personal feelings, and we should treat them objectively. In the 1920s, after the Harabah ruins were unearthed, historians officially confirmed that there was a civilization in ancient India, and the urban ruins dug out from here were very advanced..."
"The city is divided into 12 blocks, with neat and wide streets and good drainage systems, and some houses are exquisite and spacious, which is much better than their current urban planning... Well, clean and hygienic, yes, I would like to emphasize again, don't learn from me, you can't study history and not mix personal feelings, you should treat it objectively... Before the 1950s, many historians classified the Harabha ruins as civilization created by the invading Aryans."
"Although this is wrong, I understand these people very much... After all, yes, India, right...." Professor Chen cleared his throat and said seriously: "Although I hate India very much, what I want to say is that the Harabah civilization is indeed a civilization created by Indian indigenous peoples. After hundreds of years, it was destroyed by the Aryans..."
"Their rule lasted for a long time after the Aryan invasion."
"Then, Cyrus and Darius I of the Persian Empire also fell in love with this place and launched an invasion."
"The ancient Persians ruled northwestern India for nearly two centuries..."
"In the late 4th century BC, Alexander of Macedonia also fell in love with this place, and he came to conquer again..."
"Of course, we know that later, the Yuezhi people in the Hetao Plain area were defeated by the Huns, fled all the way, conquered India and established the Kushan Empire, but this is all a story..."
"The only time in ancient India is unified is due to a man... Chandragupta... This is a mysterious man, no one knows where he came from... He can only calculate based on his surname. His family probably raised peacocks. Although they belong to Kshatriya, they should be a low-level noble... It is said that this man was guilty of insulting Alexander in person, but Alexander obviously did not take this young man seriously and drove him out..."
"After Alexander left, the young man led an uprising, drove away the Macedonians and established the Mauryan Dynasty... The famous Ashoka, who is more familiar to everyone, had to lower his head and call him grandpa when he saw this Chandragupta! Because he is Ashoka's grandpa."
"After the demise of the Mauryan Dynasty, India has never been able to unify again..."
Professor Chen used to tell students to treat history objectively and not to belittle others' history. However, today, he was a little strangely sarcastic about India, which made Chen Ai a little incomprehensible. He looked at Lin Jingjing beside him and asked about his confusion. Lin Jingjing shook his head and said that he was unaware of it. Zhang Ping, who was sitting behind him, replied: "I heard that the professor's brother participated in the counterattack against India... He sacrificed his life to save people..."
"Professor Chen will not have obvious anger even when talking about RB's history. Only when he is concerned about India... will do this."
Chen Ai nodded and understood a little.
As for the literature studies in the afternoon, the teacher taught them the literature analysis method. The so-called literature analysis method is also an important research method in historical documents. At the same time, he also used documents from a certain period to illustrate. Liu Xun used the example to give the example "Book of Jin". Among the twenty-four histories, the book of Jin was probably the most questioned, because the book of Jin was compiled by the Tang people. Professor Liu began to analyze the literature and said seriously.
"According to literature statistics, we can calculate the approximate population of various countries at that time through earlier historical books such as the Three Kingdoms. When reading the Jin Book, the number of soldiers killed in one of the wars almost exceeded the total number of people in a country... This is very strange, so we can use comparative analysis methods, and even use archaeological data to prove it... The final result is that there are too many myths and folk stories in the Jin Book... Many of the contents are seriously inconsistent with historical facts!"
"There are common situations in the twenty-four histories, such as Southern History, Chen Shu, and even the Records of the Historian and Han Shu. Many people questioned the Ming History, believing that the Qing Dynasty had been written for too long, so many places were false... However, the length of time spent has nothing to do with whether the historical materials are real. In the field of philology, many historians actually believe that the Ming History is the most complete and academic value among the twenty-four histories..."
"In this regard, historians have not been able to unify their opinions, let alone discuss it in detail."
"Some people say that Shi is slandering the Ming Dynasty, and some people say that Shi is deliberately helping the Ming emperor cover up his crimes... For example, Shizong Zhu Houcan, the evaluation in Ming Dynasty is the master of Chinese talents... Guangzong Zhu Changluo has only been in power for a month. Ming Shi said that he has a long and powerful virtue and is expected in the country..."
