"Five stars come out of the east, benefit China?"

This sentence suddenly uttered by Chen Fan made everyone a little puzzled.

"Brother Fan, what's wrong?"

"How can a national treasure and a five-star go out to the east all of a sudden, benefiting China?"

"Also, what does it mean that the five stars come out of the east and benefit China?"

"Do you understand?"

"No."

Everyone shook their heads a little.

They carefully observed this piece of cotton, although there are various patterns in it.

However, it seems that the words Chen Fan said did not exist.

For this.

Director Xiao didn't understand either.

Chen Fan knew.

Everyone naturally didn't understand what I said suddenly.

but it does not matter.

Chen Fan will explain to everyone slowly.

but.

Before speaking, Chen Fan asked everyone a question first.

"Here is a question. I don't know if you know. What was the first thing that came to mind when leading troops to fight in ancient times?"

As soon as this problem came out.

Many tourists at the scene said for a while, "The first thing that comes to mind should be how many soldiers and horses you have. Only when you think about how many soldiers and horses you have, can you decide whether you can go to war."

"I think it should be how much food and grass there is. No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, it is useless if there is not enough food and grass."

"It should be the economy of the entire country."

just.

Facing the opinions of the crowd, Chen Fan shook his head and said: "These are all very important, but none of these are the court's primary considerations. So, what is the most important consideration? The most important consideration Yes, it’s not about how many soldiers and horses there are, whether there is sufficient food and grass, whether the country’s economy supports it, or whether there are any generals. The most important thing is... divination and sacrifice.”

Chen Fan knew that speaking about divination and sacrifice would surprise everyone, but in fact it was true.

Don't wait for everyone to ask.

Chen Fan went on to say: "In ancient times, the vast majority of people, or almost everyone, believed in the destiny. The destiny not only affects the destiny of a person, but also affects the destiny of a country and a dynasty. Leading troops to fight Before, the first thing that came to my mind was divination to see if I would win or lose this time. What is the probability of winning, and what is the probability of losing?"

"This seems to be a feudal superstition, but most of the time, everyone believes in it. So there is a saying that has been passed down for thousands of years, and national events are sacrificed to Rong. Sacrifice is sacrifice, and Rong is war. Sacrifice is in war. Before, if you want to fight, you must sacrifice first. Therefore, Taichang in the Sangong Jiuqing is the official in charge of the sacrifice, and he is also the head of the Jiuqing, and his status is only slightly inferior to the Sangong."

"Why did this happen? On the one hand, there is a feudal superstition in ancient times. On the other hand, the ancients came up with a more reasonable reference when they lacked more detailed information. As for whether it is reasonable or not, that is The benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise see wisdom. But although not everyone may believe it, but almost every time there is a major event in China, there will be visions in the world."

Chen Fan is a more trustworthy person.

Of course, this faith is not to do nothing, but to play the greatest role within the scope of one's ability.

"It is recorded in the official book of heaven that the five stars are divided into the sky, and if they are accumulated in the east, China will benefit; if they are accumulated in the west, those who use (army) foreign countries will benefit. The five stars are all gathered together from the stars, and the country they house can reach the world. The ancient "five stars" refer to Sui Xing, Ying Huo Xing, Filling Xing, Taibai Xing, and Chen Xing, which are actually the five stars of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The five stars are connected into a line, which is what I just said about the five stars coming out of the east."

"Because it is so rare for five stars to form a line, it has not appeared many times in history. The first time it appeared was when the legendary Emperor Shun came to the throne."

"The second time, it's Han Gaozu's supremacy."

"The third time, when Emperor Wu of the Han attacked the Huns, it also appeared once."

"The fourth time, it happened once during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty."

"The fifth time, it appeared once during Tang Gaozu Wude's reign."

"What we are going to talk about today is exactly the fourth time, this time the Five Stars Lianzhu appeared during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty."

……

Chen Fan's explanation of history has always been very attractive.

This is not.

Although everyone didn't know what it meant to be five stars out of the east.

But Chen Fan just explained it for a while, and everyone already had a very clear concept of [Five Stars Out of the East to Benefit China].

"Yes, Mr. Chen Fan, your prediction is correct. This brocade is a product of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty."

Curator Xiao nodded in admiration.

Chen Fan continued: "When Emperor Xuan of the Han came to the throne, the Huns far away in the Western Regions were not completely wiped out. Not only the Huns, but in fact there are many foreign forces in the Western Regions, such as the Xiqiang. But it is different from the Xiongnu. It is a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural social situation, so their relationship with the Han Dynasty is not bad, and they will not take the initiative to invade the Han Dynasty, and later the Western Qiang also surrendered to the Han Dynasty."

"However, in the course of hundreds of years, there will always be some repetitions. At that time, Huo Guang abolished Liu He, who had only been in office for more than 20 days, and supported Liu Xun, who had no power, as emperor, that is, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. When the emperor first came to the throne, he joined forces with Xiqiang. But at this time, the Xiongnu were no longer the previous Xiongnu. The Xiongnu who were frightened by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not dare to join hands with Xiqiang openly. They also knew that they were not opponents. Therefore, the Xiongnu Xiqiang thought of a way. He said to let Xiqiang go to the land where the Han people don’t go to graze, and this place refers to the area in the Hexi Corridor.”

"When Xiqiang informed the Han Dynasty that they wanted to go to Hexi to graze, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty called a group of officials to discuss it not long after he took the throne. Everyone believed that the Hexi area was so big that it was impossible for the Han people to completely control the entire Hexi Corridor. It’s okay to let the Xiqiang people live in a lot of open space. In addition, the Xiqiang can be regarded as submitting to the Han Dynasty. If they don’t agree, there are some surrenders that will destroy the Xiqiang.”

"But here, there is a general named Zhao Chongguo, who seriously opposes it. He believes that the Hexi Corridor is the place where the Han Dynasty took it with great difficulty. Once it is entered by foreigners and joins forces with the Huns at that time, it will be very difficult for the general of the Han Dynasty. There would be a huge threat. However, Zhao Chongguo’s opinion was not adopted by the imperial court, or many people believed that it was impossible for the Xiongnu to attack the Han Dynasty. But the result was that when many tribes from the Western Qiang came to the Hexi Corridor, not long after, they They got mixed up with the Huns. The extremely angry Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty prepared to send troops to attack Xiqiang."

Because Chen Fan had already talked about the battle between the Han Dynasty and the Huns.

So Chen Fan said again that everyone had a general understanding of the historical background at that time.

"However, before talking about the crusade against Xiqiang, let me tell you about this general named Zhao Chongguo."

"Zhao Chongguo turned out to be Li Guangli's subordinate. Yes, he was the average Li Guangli who later surrendered to the Huns. As for Li Guangli, it is wrong to say that his level is too poor. But if he is said to be high-level, it is not at all. However, Li Guangli's level is average, but his subordinate Zhao Chongguo is very high-level. At that time, Li Guangli went to attack the Huns, but was surrounded by Huns. At this moment, Zhao Chongguo broke out with more than 100 strong men. Feeling Yu Zhao Chongguo sacrificed his life to save him, and Li Guangli was so moved that he was confused. Then Li Guangli reported Zhao Chongguo's merits to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han admired Zhao Chongguo very much and promoted him to the rank of chariot general."

"In the period of Emperor Zhaodi of the Han Dynasty, because Wei Qinghuo Qubing had long since passed away, there were no more famous generals in the Han Dynasty. However, Zhao Chongguo stood out among many unknown generals. , Zhao Chongguo, Huo Guang and others supported Han Xuan Emperor Liu Xun's accession to the throne, and because of his meritorious support, he was named Yingpinghou."

In fact, Zhao Chongguo's strength is still very good.

Although he does not have the strength of Huo Qubing and Wei Qing.

But when he was dealing with foreigners, he defeated his opponents many times.

but.

Huo Qubing, Wei Qing... These people are really shining, so not many people know about Zhao Chongguo.

"Just after the feudal lordship, because the Han Dynasty was too powerful, the Han Dynasty did not fight much for a long time. Even if they fought, they only fought some small-scale battles. This time, the Xiqiang and the Huns colluded in the At the same time, when Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was preparing to go to the Western Qiang, he asked Zhao Chongguo, who should be appointed as the general? At this time, Zhao Chongguo was over 70 years old, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty naturally did not consider Zhao Chongguo. But although Zhao Chongguo was over 70 years old, when When Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty asked who to send, Zhao Chongguo said directly, who would I choose."

Such a domineering reply not only shocked Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, but also made all the spectators look at Zhao Chongguo differently.

"Tsk tsk, this Zhao Chongguo is fine, he dares to fight in his 70s, and he is so domineering."

"Hahaha, this is our Han Dynasty. Even if Huo Qubing and Weiqing pass away, there will still be great generals guarding our China."

"For Zhao Chongguo's sentence, whoever will give me the best."

Chen Fan also liked this general very much, and said: "Facing Zhao Chongguo's self-recommendation, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty agreed to Zhao Chongguo's request. At this moment, a vision descended from the sky, and five stars came out of the east. The whole Han Dynasty was boiling. Because they knew that if such a vision appeared, it meant that the Han Dynasty would be prosperous. For this reason, Zhao Chongguo made strips of woven cotton for the soldiers who went to war. The brocade is engraved with various patterns , and in these patterns, there is such a sentence written above and below, five stars come out of the east and benefit China."

This also goes back to the sentence that Chen Fan said suddenly before.

"Five stars come out of the east and benefit China... I feel more and more from listening to it."

"Me too. At first I felt that this sentence was a little inexplicable, but now I feel like it's about to burn."

"Hahaha, I already want to shout out. However, it seems that the situation is wrong. This sentence is not written on this piece of cotton."

same.

Chen Fan also understood everyone's doubts.

He went on to say: "Maybe everyone is a little strange, it seems that there is no such sentence in our tapestry. In fact, there is."

Chen Fan pointed the camera at the tapestry again, and said again: "Look, everyone, there are some damages under this tapestry. Look at this place, does it look like a star? If it is repaired, will it be a word? , here is a Chinese character, but the middle is damaged, if it is repaired, it will be a Chinese character. In addition, there are here, here..."

Chinese characters are inherited.

Although it is now simplified characters.

However, we can basically recognize some characters written thousands of years ago.

When Chen Fan slowly pointed out where the brocade was broken, everyone let out a wow, and reached a climax in an instant.

"If it is repaired, it seems that this sentence really exists."

"Before, I thought there was no word in this piece of cotton, but it turned out to be damaged."

"Ah, if it wasn't for Teacher Chen Fan, no one would know that there is such a sentence in it."

Five stars come out of the east and benefit China.

Although Chen Fan didn't explain what this sentence meant?
But need to explain?

This sentence is too straightforward to be straightforward.

Even elementary school students can understand the meaning of this sentence after reading it.

and so.

When Chen Fan charged Zhao to the country, made chaos in Xiqiang, and explained the background of the Five Stars Lianzhu series.

Everyone's hearts are getting more and more excited.

they know.

This could represent the rise of another great age.

"In fact, Zhao Chongguo did not insult this sentence. However, it is different from everyone's guess. You may guess that Zhao Chongguo led his troops to the Xiqiang, and he was fighting against Xiqiang directly? But in fact, Zhao Chongguo did not Do it."

"Didn't fight Xiqiang?"

Many people are surprised.

Isn't leading troops out to fight against Xiqiang? Why not?

Chen Fan explained: "Zhao Chongguo is a general who knows the Han Dynasty very well. He understands. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, it also weakened the strength of the entire Han Dynasty. Now he is going out again Although Xiqiang might not necessarily lose, the food price in the entire Han Dynasty started to skyrocket as soon as the court announced that they were going to go on an expedition.

We all know that what is fought is not only how many soldiers there are, but also how much food and grass are there, and what is fought is strong economic strength.Zhao Chongguo realized that if the Han Dynasty continued to send troops like Emperor Wu of the Han at this time, the strength of the Han Dynasty, which had finally recovered, would turn sharply down again.If you don't take the initiative to go out, but use defense, the Han Dynasty is more than enough to deal with it.But Zhao Chongguo also understood that if he did not send troops, it would further boost the arrogance of the Xiqiang and Huns.So he adopted the strategy of garrisoning fields on the border, while garrisoning fields, defending at the same time, and dividing the interior of Xiqiang at the same time. "

"This strategy of farming is very good, because the Han Dynasty is too far away from the Western Regions, and it is very troublesome to transport grain and grass in many cases. If we can farm at the border, it can prevent the invasion of the tribes in the Western Regions, and at the same time solve the problem of grain and grass, so as not to make the whole The people of the Han Dynasty suffered together."

"It has to be said that Zhao Chongguo is too discerning. The reason why he adopted such a strategy is that he saw that the Xiqiang people were not united. Although some tribes in the Xiqiang were in collusion with the Huns, but the same There are also some tribes whose hearts are towards the Han Dynasty, or swaying from side to side, and have no opinion. As a result, when the relatively powerful Xianling tribe in Xiqiang joined forces with the Xiongnu to attack Zhao Chongguo, Zhao Chongguo defended and counterattacked. Not long after, Seeing the strength of the Han Dynasty, those vacillating tribes within the Western Qiang surrendered to the Han Dynasty on their own initiative."

In this way, Zhao Chongguo broke the alliance between Xiqiang and Xiongnu without abolishing much troops and food.In the later period, Qinghai, where the Xiqiang people were located, was also included in the sphere of influence of the Han Dynasty.In the third year of Ganlu, the Southern Xiongnu [Huhanxie Shanyu] surrendered to the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xuan painted a picture of Da Sima, General Huo Guang and other eleven heroes in the Qilin Pavilion of Weiyang Palace to commemorate them, and Zhao Chongguo ranked fourth. "

In one breath, Chen Fan finished telling the story of Zhao Chongguo's pacification of Xiqiang.

In everyone's minds, the phrase, five stars come out of the east, is beneficial to China.

"Brothers, do you believe that five stars come out of the east and benefit China?"

"Nonsense, of course I believe it."

"I'm stupid, don't you always believe in science, why do you believe in this?"

"I believe in science, but many times science can't explain clearly. For example, this sentence, I know that science can't explain clearly."

"That's right. In fact, the wisdom of the ancients was no lower than ours. If they didn't have a certain logic, how could they believe in celestial phenomena so much?"

"In fact, it is true. As soon as the five stars came out, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty made the strength of the entire Han Dynasty take another step forward. Moreover, the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was also the period with the largest territory of the Han Dynasty."

"Besides, don't talk about dynasties, just talk about individuals, our own background, family, environment... Can we dominate? No, then, since we cannot dominate, then who is in control? The answer is not God, but God , What is the sky, that is the celestial phenomena."

"That is to say, it forms an image in the sky and takes shape on the ground."

"Sister, I suddenly feel that science is not reliable anymore."

of course.

The reason why Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty could do this is inseparable from the efforts of the previous wise emperors.

But it is also true that the Western Regions were included in the territory of China during the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

It is true that during the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Qinghai was brought into the sphere of influence of the Han Dynasty.

but.

Chen Fan didn't finish his speech at this time, he went on to say: "Perhaps Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty is far less famous than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and perhaps there were no such generals as Huo Qubing and Wei Qing during the Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. However, during the Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, he was A period that all foreigners dare not provoke. As the Han Dynasty continued to expand its territory, as the territory of the Han Dynasty became larger and larger, and as Chen Tang yelled, those who openly offend the strong Han, although far away He must be punished. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty wrote a bold sentence on the inscription on Dinghu..."

"Teacher Chen Fan, which sentence?"

"This one……"

Looking around, Chen Fan said, "I think this sentence should be written at this time."

Done.

Curator Xiao had already ordered the staff to take out the Four Treasures of the Study.

Look at the tapestry on the glass cover.

With a swipe of his pen, Chen Fan wrote: "Where the sun and the moon shine, and where the rivers and rivers go, are all Han soil!!!"
