The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 186 Chinese Civilization
Seeking common ground while reserving differences means that the general direction must follow the framework established by Zixiao Temple.The difference is to allow each faction to retain its own characteristics while adhering to the framework.

This set of framework is simple but not simple, after all, it involves all aspects.It's not complicated to say that it's just a framework after all.

Ten days and half a month is enough for them to finalize the basic reform plan.

Longhushan has been looking forward to the opportunity for hundreds of years to rise. Zhang Tongxuan can't wait to go back, and Zhang Ping will naturally go back.

For a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love, that is a lot of reluctance.

Chen Jingke is not the kind of heartless person, he spent the last few days with her and took her around the famous scenic spots in Chang'an.

He also took out his mobile phone and secretly took many videos and photos of her.

Of course, he didn't forget about his business, and took the time to write books related to Chinese civilization.

Time passed quickly while he was busy, and a week passed before he knew it, and Zhang Tongxuan formally bid farewell.

Sun Simiao sent them to the gate of Zixiao Temple and returned, while Chen Jingke sent them all the way to the outside of the city for more than ten miles.

Zhang Tongxuan asked people to stop the car, and persuaded: "You must leave after a long journey. Chen Zhenzhen, please go back. After two years, I will find a chance to let Ping'er come to Beijing."

Looking at Zhang Ping, who was raining with pear blossoms, Chen Jingke was also full of reluctance, and got down from his horse and said, "Master Zhang, can I say goodbye to Ping'er alone?"

"Okay." Zhang Tongxuan naturally wouldn't be that villain, and ordered the driver to drive the carriage aside, leaving enough space for the two of them.

Zhang Ping jumped out of the carriage, and regardless of his father and brother walking far away, he threw himself into Chen Jingke's arms and said, "I...I don't want to leave, I can't bear you."

Chen Jingke also felt sad, hugged her and said, "I can't bear you either."

After being gentle for a while, Chen Jingke let go of her, took out something from the bag on the horse, and said, "This is a gift from me. It is a specialty of my hometown. It is the only one in the world."

Zhang Ping looked curiously, and found that it was a square box the size of a palm, made of materials he had never seen before.

Even though she didn't know what it was, she could tell it was very precious. She said happily, "What... is it?"

"Compass, let me teach you how to use it." Chen Jingke opened the lid, revealing the main body of the compass inside.

Zhang Ping's eyes widened all of a sudden, what a beautiful instrument.But what surprised her even more was the huge round transparent gemstone on the instrument.

Using gemstones as face is too extravagant.

"This...this is..."

Chen Jingke explained to her how to use the compass, but it is a pity that there is no corresponding map to match it, which greatly reduces its value.

After learning the usefulness of this thing, Zhang Ping couldn't understand it even more.Isn't it Simon?Is it necessary to make it so luxurious?This gem can be exchanged for countless Simons.

But it is really exquisite and easy to carry, much easier to use than Sinan.What's more, it's even better if he gave it to himself.

So she treasured and put away the compass.

Soon Zhang Heng called her from a distance. Later, he had to go to the Weishui River pier to catch a boat to Luoyang. If there was a delay, he could only wait for the next trip.

About to say goodbye, Zhang Ping's tears started to fall again.

Chen Jingke sighed: "Go quickly, the days to come are still long, maybe we will meet again soon."

Zhang Ping choked up and said, "Don't lie to me, it's so easy to meet each other thousands of miles away, maybe this parting will be forever..."

Chen Jingke quickly covered her mouth and said, "Bah, we don't want to say such depressing words. Have you forgotten our agreement, we will have a lot of children."

It's okay not to talk about it, but Zhang Ping is even more sad when he talks about it.

Ancient times are not modern times, and transportation is inconvenient and medical science is underdeveloped. The distance of more than 2000 miles may really be the separation between heaven and man forever.

Chen Jingke had no choice but to make up his mind, took her by the hand and came to the carriage, cupped his hands towards Zhang Heng and said, "Friend Zhang, Ping'er will be entrusting you for the time being."

Seeing his sister's sad look, Zhang Heng felt sore, and said, "She is my sister, and I will take good care of her."

The carriage set off again, looking at Zhang Ping's reluctant face at the window, Chen Jingke felt very uncomfortable.A word suddenly appeared in my mind, and I shouted loudly:

Xianyun is clever, Feixing spreads hatred, and Yinhan looms dark.

As soon as Jinfeng Yulu met, they won but countless on earth.

The tenderness is like water, and the good times are like dreams.

If these two feelings are long, how are they going up and down.

He yelled several times in succession until the carriage disappeared before jumping on the horse and returning to Chang'an City without looking back.

On the other side, Zhang Ping couldn't care less about being sad, and urged his father and brother again and again: "Did you hear clearly? Hurry up, write it down for me."

Naturally, there was no way to prepare pen and ink at this time, but she thought of a way by herself and wrote it on a piece of silk with thrush powder.

Then I took the piece of silk and read it over and over again, and gradually I became intoxicated.

Zhang Tongxuan and Zhang Heng were also very surprised, this long and short sentence is so classic.Especially the two sentences at the end can be called famous sentences handed down from generation to generation.

The point is, this is what they wrote after seeing the scene with their own eyes.

Chen Jingke's literary talent is really amazing.

……

After sending off the little lover, Chen Jingke put down all the mundane affairs and started writing a book behind closed doors.

There are two books he wants to write, one is "A Brief History of China" and the other is "Chinese Civilization".

A Brief History of China, as the name suggests, is the past history of Chinese civilization.

He did not directly talk about history, but first talked about some historical knowledge at the beginning.For example, he pointed out bluntly that the purpose of writing history was wrong.

In the past, history was not written for the common people to read, to let everyone remember the history or something.It's for the ruling class to learn from.

He severely criticized this kind of thinking, saying that it is a narrow and selfish idea.

History books should be open to everyone, letting everyone know what our ancestors did and how our civilization came to be today.

Only by letting everyone understand these things can we unify our thinking and form a unified view of civilized ethnic groups.

Only when we understand this, can the loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness we emphasize have practical value-because all these are the precious wealth left to us by our ancestors.

A person who doesn't even know who he is from, why do you ask him to abide by ethics?

In addition to those above, he also explained several methods of writing and interpreting history.It is all the experience summed up by historians in previous lives, and he is just a meddler.

He wrote more than [-] words on this historical treatise.In the previous life, it was the amount of a paper, but in ancient times, a book could be published directly.

He doesn't know how much effect it can play, but he only hopes that it can help people understand history more correctly.

After that is the real content of the brief history of China, which is actually the stories of historical figures selected according to the order of historical development.

The beginning is the story of human ancestors such as the Chao family, the Ziyi family, the Suiren family, the Zhisheng family, the Fuxi family, and the Shennong family.

Then the Yellow Emperor fought against Chiyou, Lei Zu raised silkworms and reeled silk, Tang Yao and Yu Shun, Dayu controlled the water, Xia, Shang and Zhou... The first emperor unified the six kingdoms, and the Han Dynasty was established until its demise...

Some stories are fabricated, some are true, but basically they are all positive stories that reflect the heroic and fearless spirit of the Chinese nation.

Of course, it’s not all positive stories, and what should be black still needs to be black.For example, in the Jin Dynasty, he turned the Sima family black to death.

What turned back the wheel of history, why not eat minced meat, what the Yongjia Rebellion, and Zuti died after hearing the chicken dance and finally died in depression, etc. I talked about it again.

By the way, he also blackmailed the gentry. These people occupy the court and know how to talk about it every day, and they hide in the south of the Yangtze River to entertain themselves.

For Li Tang, it is natural to flatter him. After all, he eats other people's meals, and it is unjustifiable not to dress him up beautifully.

He focused on praising Li Shimin, all kinds of wisdom and martial arts, anyway, Chen Jingke felt blush for Li Shimin when he saw it himself.

This book seems to have a lot of content, but it is actually very easy to compile. It doesn't take him much time to just take the history book and extract it one by one.

What really took the time was "Chinese Civilization". This book is about the origin and development of the Chinese ethnic group.

There are not many references, basically relying on his memories of archaeological materials from his previous life and... random fabrications.

The Chinese civilization and the Han people have never been a group based on the theory of blood, but have cultural identity as the core, so there is a saying that if you come out, you will be barbarians and you will be in China.

Accepting that our civilization is willing to be a part of us is a Chinese, and vice versa. The formation of this idea can be traced back to ancient times.

According to archaeological data, there were several different civilizations in the Yellow River Basin in ancient times, and the Chinese ancestors were just one of them.

They successively conquered all the civilizations around them, absorbed each other's strengths and fused each other's blood to strengthen themselves, and finally became the only civilization in the Yellow River Basin.

Our ancestors did not stop because of this, but continued to conquer east and west.

Archaeologists from previous generations discovered a Great Wall more than 5000 years ago in the area of ​​Xiangyang, and it has been verified that it was built by the southern civilization to resist the Chinese civilization.

The final result was the overall victory of the Chinese civilization, and the civilizations in the Yangtze River Basin and even further south were conquered and became part of the Chinese civilization.

The famous Sanxingdui civilization later became part of the Chinese civilization.

Hundreds of years ago, the core group of Chinese civilization established an unprecedentedly powerful empire on this land, the Han Empire.

Formed an ethnic group, the Han people.

……

It can be said that from the beginning of its birth, the Chinese civilization has been constantly absorbing the advantages of all civilizations in the entire East Asian region.

It is precisely because of this that our civilization is so diverse, so inclusive, and so brilliant.

Our profound cultural heritage is unmatched by any civilization on earth.

Why are Westerners so hostile to Chinese civilization?In addition to the benefits, on the other hand, their cultural heritage is too weak, and there is only one consequence of facing the impact of Chinese civilization, being assimilated.

That's why they are like an enemy.

And we have no concerns about this at all, and even take the initiative to absorb the advantages of Western civilization to complete another transformation.

This is the cultural heritage, the most precious wealth left to us by our ancestors.

Datang is undoubtedly a country with strong aggressiveness and strong tolerance.What Chen Jingke has to do is to use this shareholder style to complete the unification of civilization and ideology.

In this way, after a few hundred years, there will be no more barbarians in China, but a more powerful and glorious Han dynasty.

More precisely, it should be a powerful Chinese civilization.
