My system is not decent

Chapter 1474

After several years of hard work, on November 2000, 11, the "Xia Shang Anniversary Table" was officially released.

And this is the ancient historical chronology with the most scientific basis in our country so far.

This chronology is the history of our country before 841 BC, establishing a three-generation chronological framework of more than 1200 years.

The first year of the Xia Dynasty was 2070 BC, and the first year of the Shang Dynasty was 1600 BC.

Pan Geng moved to Yin in 1300 BC, and the first year of the Zhou Dynasty was 1046 BC.

Among them, the assessment of the beginning year of the Xia Dynasty, the boundary between Xia and Shang, the reign of Wu Ding and the era when King Wu conquered Shang has important innovative significance.

This not only created good conditions for further accurate chronology of Xia, Shang and Zhou.

It also laid a solid foundation for continuing to explore the origin and early development of Chinese civilization, and for revealing the clear context of the five thousand years of civilization history.

The important discoveries of the Erlitou site and the Yanshi Shangcheng site in the Yangluo area provided reliable material evidence and made important contributions to the Xia, Shang and Zhou dating projects.

However, as long as it is knowledge, there must be controversy.

So until now, the controversy, or simply speaking, the criticism of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties' dating projects has not stopped.

Since the official announcement of the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dating Project, its conclusions have been adopted by many mainstream dictionaries and textbooks, and have begun to have an impact.

After my country put forward its own standards, foreign scholars began to criticize them. It can be said that all kinds of demons and ghosts have come out.

The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties project has just begun, and my country's archaeological technology and theoretical level still need to be further improved.

Since the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties Project officially announced the "Xia, Shang and Zhou Anniversary Table", there have been endless criticisms from home and abroad.

Some foreign people believe that the Xia, Shang and Zhou dating projects have a "political background" and that the Chinese government is engaging in nationalism.

There are even some scholars who doubt the "academic ethics" of the project.

Therefore, three debates were held between 2000 and 2003.

Ni Dewei, a retired professor at Stanford University, wrote an article in the "New York Times", asserting that "the international academic community will tear engineering reports into pieces."

However, some people believe that the so-called "international academic community" has always ignored the research results of our country and has no right to speak about our country's history.

Some people also say that since Western society can regard Homer's epic, the works of blind artists [-] years after the Trojan War, as official history, questioning my country's chronological history calculated by scientific methods is nitpicking.

Our government has not blocked these issues, and you can see introductions and discussions on this issue everywhere on the Internet.

The Chinese government has also launched a large-scale debate on this, putting forward various reasons to support its own views, and supporting engineering scholars to conduct in-depth research.

Many domestic and foreign scholars have indeed maintained certain doubts about the conclusions of the project with a rigorous and prudent academic attitude;

There are also some foreign scholars who do not recognize the efforts of the Chinese government, thinking that as long as this type of research is supported by the Chinese government, it must have a political purpose.

Some people say that these scholars can't even explain the texts published today, so how could he judge the age of the three generations.

Scholars in mainland China who do not agree with the project report are also labeled as "justice" by these foreign scholars, saying that they are "powerless to fight against the government."

Whether the results of the project failed, there is no strong argument to prove it.

Some achievements in the project have also been recognized by the international academic community, such as Zhang Peiyu's research, but there are disputes within the project.

In fact, many scholars in our country believe that the results of such projects do not necessarily have to pass the tests of various scholars with "complex backgrounds" in the world.

As long as a consensus is reached in my country's academic circles, Chinese scholars' research on history does not need outsiders to make irresponsible remarks, nor can it be obstructed by forces with various purposes.

This is just like Chinese medicine, why must it be scientifically tested?
It’s not that science is bad or wrong, but that the essence of our five thousand years of experience is wrong just because it’s not scientific.

What you said is unscientific, is it really unscientific, because science and technology have not yet developed to a certain level, and it cannot be explained?

And universities, why must they be in line with international standards?
Even if it is for not closing the door to the outside world, for learning from others' strengths, it is nothing to be in line with international standards.

However, there is no need to find some foreign rubbish to study in China and receive various preferential treatment. Isn't this stupid?

This is the lack of cultural self-confidence. We have used thousands of years of methods, which are definitely correct, but we still need to be recognized by others. Is this necessary?
Just like the Xia, Shang and Zhou dating projects, no matter how much evidence we have, some people with ulterior motives will always find reasons to oppose it.

In fact, just ignore them. This is like Western news and newspapers. Do they speak a human language?

Well, this is a bit biased, there must still be a lot of good people in the world.

However, a good person may not sit crookedly on his buttocks.

The ass decides the head, we just need to be ourselves.

Of course, we can ignore some people's barks, but we must remember them.

For example, the air in an ugly country is full of sweet speeches, which we should never forget.

And such people can be said to emerge in endlessly.

For example, on April 2003, 4, an academic conference on dating engineering was held in Chicago.

Jiang Zudi, a part-time researcher at the Center for Religious Culture at Stanford University, pays special attention to names.

If it is a real white skin, people will only study Chinese history when they have too much time to spare.

And this one submitted an article entitled "Questions in the Study of the Western Zhou Dynasty——Criticism on the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dating Engineering Methodology" to the meeting.

He is discussing "engineering" and research on the era of "Wu Wang conquered business".

Jiang Zudi noticed that the "project" used the OxCal series of sample programs.

He said that the OxCal program series sample calculation method has only a confidence level of 68.2%.

In the journal "History of East Asia", Douglas J. Keenan published an article questioning the date of the first year of King Zhou Yi, Tian Zaidan, in 899 BC.

In the article, specific questions are raised about errors in engineering research methods.

It is mentioned in the article: ...some recent research projects, including those accepted by China (referring to the Xia, Shang and Zhou dating projects), are based on a "Tian Zaidan" record in the early [-]st millennium BC.

These studies have interpreted this strange record as a partial solar eclipse at sunrise.

Such an interpretation seems plausible, as the eclipse darkens the sky just before dawn and then rises again, but it is uncertain.

Solar eclipses, which cover the portion of the Sun's surface at sunrise and are large enough to significantly darken the sky, are rare.

On April 899, 4 BC, there was indeed a solar eclipse at sunrise.

And these research plans correspond this solar eclipse to this peculiar record, referring to Zhou Yi Wang Yuannian Tian Zaidan.

Calculations show that the 899 BC eclipse reduced the subjective brightness, in this case the brightness perceived by a human observer, by less than 25%.
