Chapter 291 When studying heaven and man, understand the changes of the past and the present, and become the words of the family... (for subscription)
"The team leader is too powerful."

"Obviously we've heard this story before, but when it's told now, it's so soul-stirring."

"It can only be said that what we have heard before is the simplified version."

the other side.

The professors who studied history with Chen Fan also shone with a different light at this time.

of course.

compared to them.

The appearance of Sima Qian today shocked the audience's eyes again and again.

……

just.

Sometimes, people's life is not so smooth.

Even Sima Qian was born in a family of historians.

Reasonably.

He could have inherited his father, just recording history.

But right now.

On the stage, thousands of soldiers appeared.

"In 99 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Li Ling, the grandson of Li Guang, to help Li Guangli escort grain and grass. As the grandson of Li Guang, Li Ling also wanted to attack the Huns. So he asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for an edict. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty affirmed Li Ling's courage, so he agreed. But It is a pity that Li Ling, like his grandfather Li Guang, did not have a very good fate. They encountered the main force of the Huns as soon as they attacked, and were finally defeated and captured. Sima Qian interceded for Li Ling, saying that Li Ling, like his grandfather Li Guang, was a Loyalty and filial piety are absolutely impossible for the sake of the country. They must have no choice but to do so in order to save the lives of the soldiers. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that what Sima Qian said made sense, so he sent Gongsun Ao to the Xiongnu He took Li Ling home, but something went wrong. Gongsun Ao said that Li Ling not only defected to the enemy, but also helped the Xiongnu train soldiers. In the end, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and killed Li Ling's family. crime."

As soon as this background was mentioned, many people immediately thought of Li Ling's grandfather Li Guang.

Li Guangwei was well-known, but he was never granted the title of Marquis in his whole life.

Instead, he committed suicide in the end.

His grandson unexpectedly fell into such a tragedy.

In fact.

In his historical records, Sima Qian spoke highly of Li Guang and his descendants.

This is high.

It's not because of how high their force value is, but because of his virtue.

Just like Sima Qian wrote the Five Emperors Benji before.

He wrote historical records to extol the virtues like Shun, and let loyalty and filial piety be practiced in the world.

in this way.

In Sima Qian's heart, Li Guang is a representative of loyalty and filial piety, so Sima Qian's evaluation of Li Guang is "Peaches and plums don't talk, and the world is self-made".

It means that peach trees and plum trees can't speak, but because of their beautiful flowers and delicious fruits, people go to pick them one after another, so they step on a path under the trees.

This metaphor is sincere and honest, and it can naturally inspire people's hearts.

Like Li Guang, Li Guang's grandson Li Ling, Sima Qian also believed that the Li family was loyal and good for generations.

But the reality is often not as ideal as Sima Qian thought.

Li Guang and Li Ling, both of whom are loyal and good, are both a tragedy.

"Originally Sima Qian was to be executed according to the law, but Emperor Wu also knew Sima Qian's talent, so he asked him to fine 50 yuan or choose one of corruption. Although Sima Qian was from a family of historians, the status of historians in the Han Dynasty was not high. The Taishi Ling's salary was not much. He couldn't make up 50 yuan, and in the end, Sima Qian chose corruption."

Many people may not know much about corruption.

but it does not matter.

soon.

When Chen Fan finished explaining Sima Qian's background at this time, Yang Junru, who played Sima Qian, looked at his feet and then at Chen Fan.

Then the whole body trembled.

"This corruption sentence can't be from the palace, right?"

"Don't doubt it, it is."

"Sister, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is too disgusting, how could there be such a punishment?"

"It was like this in ancient times. If compared with our modern times, the shame suffered by the ancients is completely beyond our imagination."

of course.

If it is under normal circumstances.

Coming from a family of historians like Sima Qian, he would not accept such humiliation.

Even if it is death, Sima Qian cannot accept it.

But why did Sima Qian accept it?
At this time.

The dialogue between Sima Qian and his father Sima Tan appeared in the camera.

Before his death, Sima Tan asked Sima Qian to complete the Taishigongshu.

finally.

Sima Qian chose the punishment of corruption after enduring the humiliation that ordinary people could not bear.

What he did was to survive.

But even so, under such a corrupt punishment, no matter how strong and tolerant a person is, his heart is full of grief.

At this time, Sima Qian wrote a reply letter to his good friend "Ren An".

"Ren An" admired Sima Qian very much.

Even though Sima Qian suffered corruption, Ren An still recommended him to the court again and again.

But Sima Qian saw it clearly. In his reply, Sima Qian said: "The social status of people who have been castrated is incomparable. This is not the case in today's world. It can be traced back to a long time. The Duke and the eunuch Yongqu were in the same car. Confucius felt ashamed and left Weiguo to go to Chenguo. Shang Yang was summoned by Qin Xiaogong on the recommendation of his favorite minister Jingjian. In Emperor Wen's car, Yuan Si's face changed drastically. Since ancient times, people have despised eunuchs. A person with ordinary talents will feel humiliated when something involves eunuchs, let alone a generous and strong man. ?Although the imperial court lacks talents, how can it let a person who has been tortured by knives and saws recommend the heroes and talents in the world?"

In Bao Ren's book, he didn't have it in the previous version of "China in Classics".

He only intercepted two sentences from this letter.

But in fact, in this reply letter, there are too many words that Sima Qian wants to give to Ren An, and wants to respond to the world.

and so.

When Chen Fan was making "China in the Classics", Chen Fan also had to read out the "Reporting to Ren An Shu".

"I was planning to state my opinion to the emperor, but there was no proper opportunity. It happened that the emperor summoned me to ask my opinion. I will discuss Li Ling's achievements based on these opinions, in order to comfort the emperor's mind and block those Attacking and framing remarks. I didn’t fully explain what I meant. The sage monarch didn’t understand deeply, and thought that I was attacking General Ershi and defending Li Ling, so he handed me over to the prison officer for punishment. My piety and loyalty , never had a chance to state and defend, was convicted of false accusations, the emperor finally agreed to the judge's judgment. My family is poor, and the meager money is not enough to atone for my sins. None of my friends came forward to rescue me. The emperor's close The minister refused to say a word for me. My flesh and blood is not wood or stone, but I am with the officials who enforce the law, and I am deeply locked in the prison. To whom should I tell the pain in my heart?"

Sima Qian played by Yang Junru can be said to have fully interpreted the essence of Sima Qian.

Seeing Yang Junru's reply letter on the stage, countless audience members touched their eyes unconsciously.

They are afraid of losing control of themselves.

"My ancestors didn't have the credit for dissecting Fudanshu. They were in charge of literature, history and ephemeris, and their status was close to divination officials and shamans. I am killed in obedience to the law, it is like losing a hair on the body of an ox, what is the difference between it and an ant? People in the world will not compare my death with those who can martyr, they will only think that I am incompetent and sinful. I can’t escape the death penalty, but I’m finally going to die! Why is it like this? This is the occupation and status I have always been engaged in, so that people will think this way. Of course, everyone is mortal, but some people die more than Mount Tai. Some people are lighter than a feather, this is because they rely on different things for survival!"

This is Sima Qian's explanation of why he survived and why he chose such a law.

It's not that he wants to, nor is he too weak.

He just believes that some people are heavier than Mount Tai after death, while some people are lighter than a feather.

The reason why he still survived is that his ideal has not been fulfilled.

"In ancient times, there were countless people who were rich but whose names could not be passed down. Only those extraordinary and unusual people were famous in the world. Xibo Jichang was detained and expanded the "Book of Changes"; Confucius was embarrassed and wrote "Spring and Autumn "; Qu Yuan was exiled before he wrote "Li Sao", Han Fei was imprisoned in Qin State, and wrote "Said Difficulty" and "Lonely Anger"; "Poems" three hundred pieces, most of which were written by some sages to express their anger .”

"Privately, I am not self-sufficient. Recently, I have used my incomprehensible diction to collect historical rumors lost in the world, roughly examine the facts, summarize the facts, and deduce the reasons for their success and failure, from the Yellow Emperor to the bottom. Today, it has been written into ten tables, twelve chronicles, eight books, thirty aristocratic families, and seventy biographies, a total of 130..."

Speaking of it.

Sima Qian on the stage showed incomparable firmness: "I also want to study the heaven and man, understand the changes of the past and the present, and become a family statement..."

This is why Sima Qian wanted to survive.

This is also Sima Qian's wish to fulfill even if he suffers from Gong Xing.

……

"I also want to study the time between heaven and man, understand the changes of the past and the present, and become the words of a family..."

Literally in the background.

Seeing what Sima Qian read out, when studying heaven and man, understanding the changes of the past and the present, and becoming the words of a family... He couldn't help but shoot up.

immediately.

When he saw the backstage ratings records, Xu Liang shouted excitedly: "Director, Director, our ratings."

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, it's just 20 points."

The director of CCTV said calmly.

Just finished.

The director of CCTV left the backstage, found a place where no one was around, and let out a loud roar.

of course.

Not just them.

"I forked, what did I hear?"

"I also want to study the time between heaven and man, understand the changes of the past and the present, and become the words of a family."

"What did I hear, Tai Shigong, Tai Shigong..."

this moment.

Everyone stood up excitedly.

This is the most exciting, the most crazy, and the most memorable words they have ever heard.

……

Report to Ren Anshu to complete the reply.

Once again a melodrama takes place on stage.

The drums of war are thundering, and the sound of shouting and killing is loud.

This is a battle between the Yellow Emperor and the Yandi tribe.

But a pity.

The Yandi Tribe, which has always been a farming civilization in the south, lost to the Yellow Emperor Tribe.

But at this time.

Huangdi and Yandi suddenly appeared.

Emperor Yan: "You can kill me, but please let my people go."

Huang Di: "Please get up."

The Yellow Emperor ordered the release of Emperor Yan's people.

In the confusion of Emperor Yan, the Yellow Emperor looked at Emperor Yan and said: "The Shennong family has declined in the world, and the princes fought and tyrannized the people, causing the people to fall into war and suffer. You and I are one family, and we should be of one mind. Germany."

Emperor Yan: "Now the tribes are fighting each other, which is no longer the grand occasion. I have fought several times in order to achieve the unification of the world again and the stability of people's livelihood."

Yellow Emperor: "My clan is good at fighting, and the Ni clan is good at farming. As long as the two clans are united, the world will be stable and the people will be free from war."

Emperor Yan: "Okay, from now on, my tribe of Emperor Yan and the tribe of Huangdi will become one."

Yellow Emperor: "The same return to one body".

At this point, Yanhuang is the same body.

What Sima Qian wrote in his report to Ren An, when he studied heaven and man, understood the changes of the past and the present, and became the words of a family.

This is not bragging, nor is it nonsense.

This is his whole life's painstaking efforts, of course, including his father, the efforts of two generations.

And endured the bullying that ordinary people could not bear, and completed the swan song of historians.

Just like the unity of Yan and Huang, the unity of the world... This has also become the perfect character he admired to future generations, and it has achieved the words of the Sima family.

This scene of the melodrama made Chen Fan's blood boil with excitement.

He said proudly: "This is the beginning of the Historical Records, which records the life of the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the humanities of the Chinese nation. More than 4000 years ago, Yan and Huang merged, and the princes followed, creating a fusion of nationalities and a stable and unified ancient world. Since then, Chinese all over the world have A common name, descendants of Yan and Huang. This name will not be changed for thousands of years, and will remain unchanged for thousands of years."

Applause came.

Everyone in the crowd stood up and shouted: "Descendants of Yanhuang, descendants of Yanhuang."

……

"The sun and the moon are eternal, how many people have been illuminated by this moon. Life is short, dozens of cold and heat."

Another sitcom.

It was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who appeared on the stage: "Sima Qian, you are as old as I am. The beginning of Taishi Gongshu, the book of five emperors, Huangdi, you wrote well. , should also take the Yellow Emperor as a model."

Sima Qian: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Tai Shigong wrote about the Qin and Han Dynasties in detail. The first records Xuanyuan Huangdi, down to the present, wrote twelve books, revised tables to represent differences, made ten "tables", changed rituals and music, changed laws and calendars, and military power Mountains, rivers, ghosts and gods, between heaven and man, inherit the disadvantages and adapt to changes, and write eight "books". The 28 constellations and stars surround Beichen, and the thirty spokes gather on the hub, and they run endlessly. Serving the Lord, I wrote thirty "family books". Some people acted righteously and made meritorious service, and wrote seventy "biography", a total of 130 chapters, 52 characters, called "Tai Shi Gong Shu."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "The history of history can be used to educate people and educate people. This book is very important. But it should not be read and circulated casually. I will choose the most important chapters for the princes to read."

Sima Qian: "Now Taishi Gongshu has entered the cabinet."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "The Taishi Gongshu is a masterpiece, only I, the Great Han Taishi, can write it."

Sima Qian: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu of Han left slowly.

At this time, Sima Qian was already in tears.

He was gratified that his "Tai Shi Gong Shu" was recognized by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but he was also sad that his "Tai Shi Gong Shu" could not be passed down to the world.However, at this moment, Chen Fan said: "Although the Taishi Gongshu entered the cabinet, your grandson Yang Yun still has a volume in his hand. I guess the volume you gave to Yang Yun is to leave it to the world."

"Yes, but I don't know whether future generations can still read this book."

"Sir, I am from more than 2000 years later. If the later generations have not been able to pass on your books, how can I know the contents of your books. Sir, I will take you to the later generations to have a look."

The starlight on the stage flows, and time flies by like starlight.

Yang Yun, who was only a six or seven-year-old baby at this time, has already entered middle age.

The middle-aged Yang Yun came slowly: "The official book of Taishi was written by Ma Qian from my grandfather Taishi's company. Today, I will publish it to the world. The official book of Taishi should be seen by the world."

After Yang Yun, two more people came.

One is called Ban Biao and the other is called Ban Gu.

Facing the two, Chen Fan explained: "Ban Biao and Ban Gu continued to write your Taishi Gongshu, which is called Hanshu."

After two people, another person came.

This man was Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty.

Chen Fan said: "In later generations, the Tang Dynasty was also an extremely powerful dynasty. The Prime Minister Wei Zheng led the writing of the "Sui Shu". It was also from that time that the national system for compiling biographical history books was established. Shi Ji became official history."

Sima Qian: "Family and country history, national major, good."

Chen Fan: "Look at this again."

On the big screen in front, a lot of history books were impressively displayed.

"Historical Records", "Hanshu", "Later Hanshu", "Three Kingdoms", "Jinshu", "Songshu", "Southern Qishu", "Liangshu", "Chenshu", "Weishu", "Northern Qi Book", "Book of Zhou", "Sui Book", "Southern History", "Northern History", "Tang Book", "New Tang Book", "Five Dynasties History", "New Five Dynasties History", "Song History", "History of Liao", "History of Jin", "History of Yuan Dynasty", "History of Ming Dynasty".

"This is the history of 24."

Sima Qian was a little shocked, and took a closer look.

Chen Fan pointed to the first-ranked Shiji and said, "Sir, your Shiji ranks first among the 24 histories. And let me tell you, all the official histories of later generations have inherited your Jibiography."

Sima Qian: "The heaven and the earth are eternal, and the history of history is eternal... good."

In a row, Sima Qian said three good things.

After speaking.

The stage under the feet was once again star-studded.

people know.

Starlight symbolizes time.

Just like those characters appeared just now.

In fact.

At this time, Sima Qian can appear in front of everyone because of the passage of time, let us see Sima Qian 2000 years ago.

And when the stars flowed again, Sima Qian knew that he should leave.

He is not of this world after all.

He didn't speak.

But he was extremely satisfied in his heart.

Satisfaction is not only because he wrote the historical records and fulfilled his and his father's wish.

What is even more satisfying is that his concept of green history has been passed down from generation to generation and has been passed down through the ages.

did not speak.

Sima Qian stepped forward.

Chen Fan rubbed his eyes and looked at Sima Qian who was leaving. How much he wanted to shout, Mr. Tai Shigong, please don't go.

But Chen Fan still held back, looking at Sima Qian's back, Chen Fan said: "Thank you, sir, for writing a wonderful history. Please accept it, descendants of Yan and Huang."

Chen Fan paid his respects to Sima Qian.

Sima Qian turned his head to Chen Fan, to all living beings in the world, and to all the people, bowing deeply.

Take another step forward, and there is no Sima Qian on the stage anymore...
