What is History 2 After Reading 600 words

I recently read a book called "What is History?" The author is Yuan Tengfei. First of all, the reason why I read this book is not because of how much I love historical literature, but because of the author: Yuan Tengfei - a history teacher in Haidian, Beijing, who is called "the most awesome history teacher in history" on the Internet. I have talked about the situation of the two Song Dynasties. It is out of worship for him that I chose this book. The overall book "What is History?" is about Chinese history, but the author reinterprets ancient Chinese history in a completely colloquial way, turning the originally boring historical passages into interesting ones. The historical passages become wonderful. Absorb a huge amount of historical knowledge and information with the joy of listening to cross talk. It is a book that makes people completely agree with the saying "reading history can make you wise". It is the most wonderful historical text that is tireless in teaching and amusing. In Teacher Yuan's books, you can often see the shadow of current life in the history he tells. He uses history as a mirror. And the wording is humorous and sharp. For example, when talking about the thoughts during the Warring States Period, Teacher Yuan wrote: The idea of ????defining victory over heaven is very scary. The Great Wall is the natural dividing line for Chinese agriculture. Our ancestors were very wise. The land north of the Great Wall is Those who cannot farm can only graze. Cattle and sheep can be seen even if the wind blows. Now, even if the wind blows, weasels can be seen. Wherever there is grassland, even if it should be cultivated land, I don't believe it, so I plant it. The result of planting is that the food and grass don't grow, and it turns into a desert.

There are always sandstorms blowing in Beijing. Even the side of the Great Wall has turned into a desert. Yes, this is the consequence of overdevelopment. "Look at that young man's appearance, there's no sign of an emperor's happiness at all. His face looks like a shoehorn, but also like a masonry knife, with pockmarks all over his face... If you paint him like this, he will kill you. You Beautify him and make him look like the First Emperor of Qin and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, right? He will kill you too." There is probably no history book that can contain this kind of text. It is still about the founding king of the country, but Yuan Tengfei is not only. Speaking, and quoting from many sources, it is clear and coherent. In addition to denounced Zhu Yuanzhang, he disdained the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty and praised the wise rulers of Manchuria with good reason. He summed up the cowardly and incompetent Song Dynasty as "the most lovable dynasty". Reaching 300 Warriors said that "fighting with 300 men was equivalent to the work of a company commander in our Zhou Dynasty." There are various signs that the common historical concept cannot be easily established in the book "What is History?" , when you read these subversive assertions, you can always find that the previous understanding of history was so conceptual, and they were described by Yuan Tengfei into a different scenery. When you wake up, you realize that what he taught you is not formal subversion, but the courage and wisdom to re-examine the established facts. According to netizens, Yuan Tengfei’s real opponent is Guo Degang. This is not accurate, but it is not nonsense either. "Seven voyages to the West, 6 million taels of silver were spent, Zheng He was just a boy who spread his wealth", "Han people's clothing is the most clumsy, wide robes and big sleeves, those big sleeves If you can sneak into a person, if you put on those clothes and go out on the street, all the hard-working cleaners will be laid off." It can be seen from these burdens full of wisdom that Yuan Tengfei said that Shi Zhen is a bit like a cross talk, and learning and singing are not the same. , speaking and teasing without ambiguity, making a book about history full and bright, as full of surprises as a mouthful of popping candy. How many people are willing to pick up a joke book while waiting for the subway or squatting on the toilet?

Flip a few pages to relax, and when you are happy, you can absorb the amount of information and knowledge behind the humor. , even more rare. It seems like he clearly wants to tell us that history is a funny thing. Bacon said: Reading history can make you wise. We don’t need to immerse ourselves in the study of history, nor do we need to talk about the truth like castrating people. You just need to review what happened in history in a book like this, occasionally laugh happily, and occasionally close your eyes and think deeply.
