If there's anything in this world that humans can't control, it's time. If one day, you could control your time at will, what would you choose to do? I remember a time when the crossover drama was very popular on TV, and at that time I fantasized, is there really a day when humans can travel through time? What would it be like to wake up and find yourself in ancient times?
In fact, crossing time has always been a major problem that scientists around the world have been overcoming for a long time, and in many wild history legends, there have been many "suspected" crosser events around the world. The other day I saw a video on the watermelon video about the first person in China to "cross". This video is an original video published by the creator of the watermelon video [Moon Catching Theory] [Everyone suspects that Wang Mang is a "suspected crosser", what are his acts that do not conform to history? ], the video details and analyzes a historical crosser who has been unanimously suspected for many years. Who is he? What are some of the unhithological behaviors? Let's take a look.
It is suspected that China "crossed" the first person
This man is Wang Mang. Wang Mang, also spelled Jujun, was a well-known reformer of the Western Han Dynasty. Each of his reforms can be described as "earth-shattering, weeping ghosts and gods", and every decree was almost subversive at that time. So much so that when modern people look back on some of the things he did, they can't help but wonder, is he really not a post-80s cross-over? How can there be such advanced ideas? You know, many of Wang Mang's behaviors, in the era at that time, were simply strange things in the reform family and an outlier among politicians. Having said all this, what exactly did he do to make posterity feel so emotional? Let's take a look at the following four major physical evidence!
First, put people first and abolish serfdom
We know that modern talents emphasize equality for all, and in ancient times, no matter which country had a hierarchical class system, the Western Han Dynasty in Chinese history was no exception. However, in the semi-serfdom country of the Han Dynasty, there was a person who hated slavery, and this person was still a powerful courtier. Therefore, after Wang Mang successfully ascended the throne as emperor, he abolished the serfdom system at the first time and banned the trade of all slaves and maids. You know, no matter which dynasty, the master will not care about the "life and death" of the lower-class people, after all, it is difficult to become a master, of course, it is necessary to be served by others. But Wang Mang is just different, he is distressed about these low-level slaves, this kind of thinking, probably only modern people have it, right?
2. Reform land and prohibit its sale and purchase
Since serfdom had been abolished, should the land also be reformed? Soon, soon after Wang Mang ascended to the throne, he began to nationalize the land. Since then, under the leadership of Wang Mang, the public no longer has the right to buy and sell land, and those who once held a large amount of land and land, whether you are a prince or a nobleman or a rich gentry, must unconditionally hand over the land.
Third, unify the currency and collect salt and iron
After tossing and turning the land, we must engage in currency. Regarding the currency, it should be explained that before this, the rich people of the Western Han Dynasty could mint coins themselves, is it not very unfair? So our "crosser" Wang Mang is not happy, how can money be privately manufactured? Therefore, under Wang Mang's reform, coins were only allowed to be minted by the state, and those industries such as salt and iron were also unified into the state.
Fourth, invent calipers, unified measurement
The last and most popular physical evidence of modern people crossing is the bronze vernier caliper in the picture below. Wang Mang invented this caliper to unify the measurement of the whole country, but this is not the point. Presumably, you have already discovered that this bronze caliper is very similar to our modern vernier caliper. It is difficult not to suspect that Wang Mang is a modern person who has crossed back.
From the above four examples, it can be seen that Wang Mang's thinking has been ahead of him for nearly 2,000 years, how can this not make people doubt his identity as a "crosser"? Of course, to be serious, crossing this kind of thing is just a kind of fantasy and ridicule of people, but it also proves from another angle that the wisdom of ancient people is not worse than that of modern people.
In fact, there are many corroborating evidences about Wang Mang's suspected "crosser", and those who are interested can look at the works of the watermelon video creator [Moon Catching Theory] [Everyone suspects that Wang Mang is a "suspected crosser", what are his behaviors that do not conform to history? ], to understand the relevant content of the "Wang Mang Crossing Incident" more deeply, and see how Wang Mang carried out "advanced" reforms.
