Shi Jingtang is from Shatuo, Taiyuan. Why do you say he is a traitor?

For decades, due to the increasingly strong trend of history, as long as it is a good thing recognized by history, it will inevitably discredit them. As long as they are evil deeds recognized by history, they must be washed white and put on red hats. From the emperor to the prime minister, from the general to the literati, even Pan Jinlian, an image spokesperson who is recognized as an adulteress, dares to turn it over, no matter whether he is a three-religion, five-element and eight-skill, he can turn it over when he is happy, and good things become bad things, and bad things become good things. In some people's hands, history has become a word game, and according to their own preferences, or according to the political interests of a certain group, the case is publicly overturned.

Shi Jingtang is no exception. Now some people cry foul for this traitor who has caused serious harm to the development of Chinese civilization. The most common view is that Shi Jingtang is not a Han Chinese, so it is incorrect to call him a traitor and traitor, which is almost the only view on Shi Jingtang's treason.

Whether Shi Jingtang is a Han Chinese or not, I would like to ask here that the corruption of the Manchu regime headed by Cixi led to the fiasco of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, which made Japan suddenly powerful and became the most serious threat in the modern history of China, and eventually led to Japan's full-scale aggression against China. Cixi should be mainly responsible for China's fiasco, but can she think that Cixi is not a traitor just because she is not a Han Chinese? How can this be true? ! The Manchu regime controlled by Cixi represented the regime of China at that time. Although the Han people could not control their own interests at that time, the Manchu regime had the responsibility to safeguard the interests of the Han people to a certain extent, because the Manchu regime was based on ruling the Han areas. Manchu was the China regime at that time, and Cixi's traitorous behavior was naturally a traitor. Traitor is actually a very broad statement, not the only and exclusive one, at least not at present. As long as the regime representing the interests of the Han people betrays the interests of the Han people, it should be regarded as a traitor, so Cixi is a traitor, which is beyond doubt, or a "traitor". If Chen Shui-bian is not a Han nationality, can it be considered that Chen Shui-bian's behavior in Taiwan independence is not the behavior of traitors and traitors? If Wang Ching-wei is not a Han nationality, can it be considered that Wang Ching-wei's act of betraying China's interests is not an act of traitors and traitors? No matter what nationality, only the interests of the Han nationality (some areas are Han nationality) are within their political power. They betrayed the interests of the Han nationality and were out-and-out traitors. What is there to doubt? Shi Jingtang should also use this standard to measure. The late Jin Dynasty established by Shi Jingtang was the Central Plains regime, which was recognized as an orthodox and legal regime by later generations, and its rule was based on the vast Han areas. Shi Jingtang ceded sixteen states of Youyun, which caused devastating damage to the interests of Han people in the Central Plains. Only by this, Shi Jingtang is an out-and-out traitor. For example, Zhang San adopted Li Si from childhood and merged into the household registration. When Li Si grew up, he often beat and scolded his adoptive father Zhang San, who had no strength to fight back. Is it because Li Si is not Zhang Sansheng that Li Si is not the rebel?

Now some people think that Shi Jingtang's conviction is the strongest evidence that Shi Jingtang is not a Han Chinese, but a Shatuo. Some historians refer to the later Tang Dynasty in Li Jianli, the later Jin Dynasty established by Shi Jingtang and the later Han Dynasty established by Liu Zhiyuan as the Shatuo Dynasty, so some people flaunt that Shi Jingtang is not a Han Chinese when they hear about the Shatuo Dynasty established by Shi Jingtang. But is Shi Jingtang really not a Han Chinese? The History of the Old Five Dynasties written by Xue et al. in the Northern Song Dynasty records that Shi Jingtang was from Taiyuan and was originally a descendant of Shi Fen, the prime minister of Han Dynasty. After the rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, Shifen went west, and one of them later settled in Ganzhou. Shi Jingtang's fourth ancestor, Shi Jing, is the descendant of this stone family. After the Book of Songs, Zhu Xie, the great-grandfather of Li Keyong, the actual founder of the Tang Dynasty, entered the Tang Dynasty from Lingwu. This may be the basis for some people to think that Shi Jingtang is a Shatuo. Because Ganzhou and other Hexi areas were occupied by Tufan for nearly a hundred years after the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, it is not excluded that this Shi descendant married a non-Han woman and gave birth to a hybrid, but the determination of a person's national attribute is mainly based on paternal blood. Just like in modern times, some people think that Li Shimin is the semi-final of the conference, because Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, is descended from the semi-final of the conference, and the Han nationality of the Northern Wei Emperor is much more than that of the Li Tang Emperor. These people who are keen on "national reunification" never think that the Northern Wei Dynasty is a Han regime. Kang San, the "emperors of past dynasties" written by Cha Mou in Haining, is also of Han descent, but they never thought that Kang Lao and Yong Yong were of Han descent.

Shi Jingtang's father, Shi Shaoyong, was appreciated by Li Keyong and Li, the grandfathers of the later Tang Dynasty, because he was good at riding and shooting. He often made military contributions for the later Tang Dynasty, made a secretariat of Mingzhou, and later died in office. Shi Shaoyong has a name of conference semifinals, called "Cuan Chicken", which is also an important basis for some people to regard Shi Jingtang as Shatuo. In fact, this is ridiculous. If someone has an English name now, can he still be an American? Isn't Yang Zhi nicknamed the blue-faced beast an animal instead of a human being? It's completely inexplicable. Moreover, Shi Shaoyong only has the name of the semi-final of the conference, and he is not famous for chickens. In other words, Shi Jingtang's father's real name is Shi Shaoyong, not a chicken. Most of the Hu emperors before the Tang Dynasty were Han surnames, such as former Zhao Liu, later Zhao Shi, former Qin Fu, later Qin Yao and later Liang Lu. Although they have China's name and are from China, they are out-and-out conference semifinals, not Han Chinese. Do you think they are Han Chinese just because they have Han Chinese names? People who are keen on "national reunification" probably don't want to do this either. In their view, the fewer Han regimes, the better, and no one is the best. Manchu chieftain's surname is Hu ren, and his first name is Han Chinese. Can you think that they are half Hu people and half Han people?

When Mr. Ouyang Ai was writing the History of the New Five Dynasties, he didn't know whether he wanted to save words or had another purpose. He simply omitted this extremely important family history of Shi Jingtang, saying that Shi Jingtang was a westerner, and even said that he didn't know how the surname of the Stone Family came from. Because Ouyang Xiu's New History is now regarded as the official history, while the history of Europe is simple but Xue's history is numerous, so the history of Europe is far more famous than Xue's, and Xue gradually fades out. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that it was discovered in Yongle Dadian and Yuangui, but at this time, Ouyang Xiu's New History has been circulated for more than 500 years, and European history has been accepted by most people, while Shi Xue is not known at all, which is one of the reasons why some people regard Shi Jingtang as Sha Tuo.

However, from the perspective of preserving original materials, the historical value of Mr. Ouyang's Alas is not as good as Xue's Old History. Xue and others basically had five generations of life experiences. Xue was 48 years old when the Song Dynasty was established, and Shi 'outang was 24 years old when the Jin Dynasty was established. When Xue was born, the Five Dynasties had just begun for five years. This kind of life experience is enough to make Xue have a unique personal experience of the history of the Five Dynasties, and he is more qualified to understand some historical events of the Five Dynasties. Xue was ordered by Song Gaozong to compile the official history, and he had very favorable conditions to contact some historical materials at that time, so Xue's Old History is more authoritative, even though some original materials are still preserved in the Old History of the Five Dynasties published now.

It has great historical value. When we study history, we first value the historical value of this history book, not the literary value. Although Ouyang Xiu's articles are peerless, his writing style of European history is simple. His intention in writing The History of the New Five Dynasties is mainly to criticize this troubled times morally, rather than to preserve historical materials and learn from later generations. At least in these two aspects, he is not as good as Xue's Old History.

Shi Jingtang is not a Shatuo at all, but a red Miao Han. Therefore, even in a narrow sense (bloodline theory), Shi Jingtang is an out-and-out traitor, not to mention a traitor in a broad sense.
