Lead:
"Ghost Blowing Lights" is a long novel with the theme of tomb robbery, which has always been loved by audiences. I don't know, readers who like ghost blowing lights, whether to pay attention to such a detail.
Professor Chen used "841" as a code for a box, and at the same time, "841 BC" appeared repeatedly in the work.
What exactly happened in 841 BC? Repeatedly mentioned by the author in the novel? Could it be a metaphor for something?
Chinese Dating Method:
China has a 5,000-year history of civilization, and in order to better record the year, the clever Chinese invented many chronological methods. For example: the imperial chronology, the chronology of the stars, and the chronology of the dry branches.
The current AD, which began in the West, was proposed by the Italian philosopher Aloysius. The Year of the Common Era, which takes the year of Jesus' birth as the first year.
After the founding of New China, in order to integrate with the international community, after discussions Chinese the Political Consultative Conference of the People's Republic of China, it was decided to adopt the method of the Common Era.
With the Common Era, we can better record and understand history. So the question arises, when did the Chinese chronology come from?
Origins of the Chinese Chronicle:
Our country has a history of 5,000 years of civilization, and these histories are in the process of development. When a historical fault occurs, what is a historical fault? It is the history of certain years, and there is no written record.
Tracing these historical events requires historians to speculate. According to historians, in 841 BC, chronicles began to appear in history.
In short, the year 841 AD is the origin of the Chinese chronicle. What happened in this year has led to the emergence of a chronicle in China.
What really happened in 841 BC?
Since there is no written chronicle of the historical events before 841 BC, many historical events need to be speculated by historians.
According to historians, before 841 BC, China was under the reign of King Li of Zhou. King Li of Zhou himself was very tyrannical, cruel and unkind, and the people lived in the depths of the water.
In view of this, the people rioted, thus threatening the life and safety of King Li of Zhou. In order to escape the people's retribution, King Li of Zhou decided to leave the royal court, so King Li of Zhou escaped from the palace.
Zhou Tianzi was not in his place, but the Zhou Dynasty did not perish, and there were still a lot of government affairs to be handled every day. After study and discussion, it was decided to elect Zhou Dinggong and Zhou Mugong as representatives, and the two of them would jointly handle the government affairs.
Since the two jointly handled the government, they changed to the Yuan Republic. This republic is not the republic we are talking about today. During the Zhou Dynasty, during the republican period, a number of talented ministers jointly governed the country.
The first year of the republic here is the year 841 BC, which is repeatedly mentioned in the book "Ghost Blowing Lights".
Write at the end
The year 841 B.C. was a landmark year in Chinese history, and since then, China has had a method of chronology, and many historical events can be recorded.
It is precisely because of the method of chronology that China's history can continue indefinitely. The author of "Ghost Blowing Lights" is bashiked in the novel, and his intention is obvious, that is, he hopes to commemorate this year in this way.
For now, many young people don't know much about Chinese history. Therefore, I hope that some scholars can also reinterpret history in their own way like the world's hegemonic singing.
In this way, more readers can remember and explore relevant historical events. After listening to this article, do you support the current AD calendar? Welcome to leave a message and discuss with Xiaobian!
