This is a book that subverts the history of China, because the content of the book is too true and bloody, it has been listed as a banned book by the rulers of successive dynasties, and some even call it a perversion and heresy, and regard it as an outlier of orthodox culture.
This book is the Bamboo Book Chronicle.
It is said that the discovery of the book is related to a grave robber.
In 279 BC, a tomb robber excavated a pre-Qin tomb near the present-day city of Xinxiang in Henan Province, but although this tomb is quite large, most of them are bamboo Jane, and there is really not much gold, silver, and jewelry.
However, as a veteran grave robber, he also has his own professional qualities.
How could this thing of bamboo be in its sight, so in the end only gold, silver, and jewelry were taken away, which was really valuable and a rare treasure.
This thing was ignored by him.
Later, after the official government verified, these bamboo janes were all pre-Qin.
The most precious historical document, and the owner of this pre-Qin tomb is the famous King Wei Xiang in history.
And the content of this bamboo book unearthed from this physics is enough to subvert everyone's understanding of certain historical stages.
So what's going on here?
What exactly is written in the eyes of Secretary Bamboo?
Let's pick the key point today to talk about the things that can most subvert the three views of human history, that is, the records of the ancient Sanwei Saint King, Yao, Shun, and Yu Chan Rang.
We all know that according to the historical record, it was Emperor Yao who passed on the throne of the monarch to Shun, but passed it on to this ancient good story, symbolizing that the world is a public, the grand duke is selfless, and the beautiful scenery is created.
However, the things recorded in the Bamboo Book Chronicle are not so simple, there are no three deaths, three things, some are just one naked bloody struggle after another, just like the law of the jungle, the intertwining of power is often accompanied by cruel struggles.
In order to gain dominance, Shun brutally killed Yao, and also exiled Emperor Yao's son Danzhu to Danshui, keeping him away from the political core and eliminating the possibility of a reversal with Emperor Yao.
Moreover, in order to consolidate his dominance, he also killed Dayu's father.
Later, in order to avenge his father, Dayu killed Shun and took away his dominance.
Then, Shun's old subordinates rebelled against Yu, but unfortunately were killed by Dayu's sons and subordinates, and Xia Xizhong made the First World War famous and created the inheritance of the Xia Dynasty.
What do you think?
Is this history strong enough?
Is there a taste, is there a chewy head?
But what is recorded in the Bamboo Chronicle is much more than that.
Next, I will introduce you to a story, we all know that the historical Yi Yin was the minister of the Shang Dynasty, and assisted the Shang Tang to overthrow the rule of the Xia Dynasty, thus opening up the Yin Shang Dynasty.
Later, later generations often put him together with Jiang Taigong and called him the two famous widows.
Legend has it that Jiang Ziya's straight hook fishing waited for King Wen of Zhou to create a grand plan to dominate, and before he met Shang Tang, he dreamed that he was paddling a flat leaf boat from the sun and moon, which were all omens before becoming a big event.
At the same time, you can also see the respect of future generations for the two people, which is really gushing like a river, and you can simply regard them as your own model.
In particular, Yi Yin not only helps Shang Tang fight Jiangshan, but also helps people with children after playing Jiangshan, what is this?
It is said that after Shang Tang died, Taijia succeeded to the throne, but this Taijia was also a stubborn disciple who did not learn any skills and was idle, and you want to say that it would be good to hand over the country to such a bastard to play him?
At this moment, it will not be done at a glance, and the jiangshan that Lao Tzu and your father have worked so hard to fight will be broken by you.
What about this?
So he imprisoned Taiga and imprisoned him for three years, until the eunuch had changed his stinky body, and then he happily took him back and returned the original dominion to the other party.
This story has been passed down from generation to generation, and Yi Yin has since become a moral peak in history.
But if you look at how the Bamboo Book Chronicle is written, exile, too fake, and king, that is to say, Yi Yin is not the three good ministers we say at all, nor is he as morally noble as everyone thinks, and he is not helping to go up the mountain with children, but to replace him.
However, this operation was not fully understood, and finally it was killed by Taiga, and the double kill was killed.
You look at the ancient famous phases instantly turned into chaotic thieves, a good image just collapsed, such a stark contrast is really difficult for people to accept for a while.
So what's going on?
On this point, the ancients were not confused, after all, the content recorded in the Bamboo Book Chronicle was too subversive.
In particular, when Confucianism occupied the dominant ideological position during the Song Dynasty, a group of literati headed by Zhu Xi directly labeled the book of Bamboo Book Chronicle as a perverse reason and heresy, which did not conform to the content of historical records at all, and all of them were nonsense, which was not enough to believe, and even split and destroyed it.
And not only did the ancients not believe it, but even people today's people have a great deal of controversy about this book.
Recently I saw someone on the Internet saying that many of the contents recorded in the Bamboo Book Chronicle were made up by the Wei State Historian, and its purpose was to cover up the usurpation of the three families of Han, Zhao, and Wei through ancient history, and the general view was that during the Warring States period, the three kingdoms of Korea, Zhao, and Wei divided the Central Plains hegemony, the Jin State, but the rule thus obtained was in the eyes of the ancients as a chaotic thief and Germany.
To collect evidence, and in order to cover up the fact that he had usurped the throne, the monarch of the State of Wei ordered the historian to make up some history, saying that Yao, Shun, and Yu did not spend their lives in balance, but fought for power through bloody struggles.
Then with the lessons of the past, it is understandable for future generations to do so.
After all, the world's capable people live in it, and the three families of Han, Zhao, and Wei are striving, isn't it also justified?
But this way of reasoning does sound very reasonable at first, and if you think about it carefully, it is full of loopholes.
Because the Spring and Autumn Warring States period is not a Wei state to say, there were five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, and then there were seven warring states, not to mention that the rule of the Zhou royal family at that time was retained.
Who in these countries does not have their own documentation?
The history of thousands of people, but go to a Wei state to say that it will be changed, he changed it like this, you ask the Qin state to agree?
You ask the Zhou royal family, do you agree?
You can't always be alone.
Don't you dare to change the history of all the countries in the world compared to acting, right?
Therefore, from this point of view, the bamboo book chronicle unearthed from the tomb of King Xiang of Wei in the pre-Qin period obviously cannot be mixed with too many false elements, but it is likely to be the closest to the historical record.
Of course, the above are my personal views, if there are any different views, you are also welcome to leave a message in the comment area, I am a small flower, we will see you in the next issue.
