As the old saying goes: "hearing is not necessarily false, seeing is not necessarily believing", many historical figures and historical events we know may not be true, you know, now the information age is coming, all kinds of information intertwined, it is easy to make people misunderstand or make wrong judgments, in fact, do not watch the historical film and television dramas or related novels we see in our lives, there are also many places to explore if you return to the correct history, among which there are also historical facts that are misunderstood.
For example, there are such four famous lies in history, many people are convinced of them, and some have been written into textbooks, who do not know that what we understand is only one-sided, not to generalize, and do not really see the essence of things, so what are these four lies?
King Zhou You's beacon play is actually to start a war
I believe that everyone must have seen such a story in textbooks when they were students, at the end of the Zhou Dynasty, there was a dull emperor named King Zhou You, and he also had a very beautiful concubine named Zhao Yao, after getting this beauty, King Zhou You became more and more faint, and completely ignored the imperial government, only knew that he lived a life of song and dance with beauty every day.
And King Zhou You is still a man who spoils his daughter-in-law very much, and he does his best to satisfy whatever he wants, and he can't wait to take off the stars in the sky for her, and the most absurd thing is that King Zhou You plays the princes for her.
According to legend, once there was an emergency military situation in the Zhou Dynasty, lit a beacon, and after other princes saw the beacon, they all ran to support the royal capital out of their responsibility and obligation to protect the royal family, and Zhao Yi happened to see this scene, she saw these princes panting and came very interesting, so she asked King Zhou You to light the beacon again to tease these princes, King Zhou You agreed without thinking, just for the Pomeranian to laugh.
When these princes came to support, they found that it was King Zhou You who teased them, and they were both angry and helpless, and after that, they no longer believed the signal of the beacon wolf smoke, and the queen king really had hostility, and the king of Zhou You lit the beacon again, and the princes thought that they wanted to tease them again, so no one came, and the Great Zhou was absurdly destroyed.
Many people think that this is caused by King Zhou You and Zhao Yao teasing the princes, but in fact, this matter is not true, how can King Zhou You say that he is also the king of a country, no matter how mediocre he is, he will not joke about this kind of thing, the reason why he will bury the country during his reign is because Empress Shen does not agree with King Zhou You to depose the prince.
So he returned to Shenguo to move the rescuers, but King Zhou You chose to take the initiative to attack after hearing this, lighting a beacon to attack, but he didn't expect that Shenguo and Inujung would destroy him, because of his mediocrity and stupidity that there was a story made up by posterity.
Qin Shi Huang burned books to pit Confucianism, not all Confucianism
After the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, it entered the era of princes fighting for hegemony, that is, the Spring and Autumn Warring States period in the history of the continent, countries continued to conquer, but also cooperated with each other or became enemies of each other, in order to have greater competitiveness, the princely states in this period also paid attention to their own development, in addition to political and economic aspects, but also cultural prosperity, the era of a hundred schools of thought also followed.
As the first ideological emancipation movement in the history of the feudal dynasty on the mainland, many famous masterpieces emerged, but unfortunately many of them have not been handed down, in addition to being too old to be well preserved, there is also the later burning of books by Qin Shi Huang.
After Qin Shi Huang unified the world, in order to strengthen cultural autocracy, he ordered the burning and killing of a lot of Confucianism, he did not support Confucian political ideas, advocated the use of Legalist ideas and systems, this practice killed a lot of innocent people, but also burned a lot of classic works, and this matter has also become a stain on Qin Shi Huang being blamed by people, otherwise he did this, I believe that there will be a lot of hundreds of ideological works circulating in the world now, then Qin Shi Huang is really an ancient sinner?
In fact, Qin Shi Huang's burning of books and pit Confucianism was not just to kill Confucianism, he initially wanted to kill those charlatans who were abducted and deceived, they used the banner of various ideas to deceive the public, defraud the people of money, and at the same time because they spread ideas indiscriminately, but also affected the social stability of the Qin Dynasty, which was not conducive to the rule of Qin Shi Huang.
In order to eradicate this problem, he decisively ordered the killing of these misleading warlocks, including some Confucians who opposed him, because this move was too bloody and brutal to be accused to this day, but he did kill many innocent people and burn useful books, of course, we still have to look at it dialectically.
The Afang Palace burned by Xiang Yu did not exist
In the middle school textbook, we have studied Du Mu's "A Fang Palace Fu", in this article there is such an original sentence that says "Shu Mountain, A Fang out, covering more than 300 li, hiding the sky...", which shows how huge its scale is, but this complex is not well maintained, but was burned by Xiang Yu's fire, who let the second emperor of Qin force the people, build a large number of civil works, how many people died because of the construction of the Afang Palace, this burning can also be regarded as to boost morale and lay the foundation for overthrowing the rule of the Qin Dynasty.
Then you know what? Xiang Yu may not have burned the Afang Palace, or he may have burned only a foundation, because according to the exploration of archaeologists, there are no signs of burning in the place where the Afang Palace was built, and there are no traces of ash left after burning.
If the Afang Palace at that time was really built, there would be some remains after the fire, even after thousands of years, it is impossible to have nothing left, so from a practical point of view, the Afang Palace at that time may only have built a foundation, and it was not as large and magnificent as written in the ancient text.
Although the Kang Qian prosperous era is brilliant, there are also drawbacks
Finally, we are familiar with the "Kang Qian Prosperous Era" during the Qing Dynasty, which experienced the three emperors of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, and under the governance of the three of them, the development of the Qing Dynasty was prosperous and once reached its peak.
At that time, the people of the Qing Dynasty also lived a worry-free life, and there was an unprecedented breakthrough in social and economic development, and the comprehensive national strength of the Qing Dynasty at that time was also one of the best in the world, which can be said to be a rare period of prosperity and glory in the history of China's feudal dynasty.
But is Kang Qianshi really as brilliant and prosperous as we know? As everyone knows, behind this prosperity, there are many social ills, you must know that during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor, although he was also vigorous when he was young, but in his later years, he became very happy, and at the same time, there was a situation of neglect of government, and he indulged corrupt officials like Hejun, formed a party in the DPRK for personal gain, and embezzled and accepted bribes.
This approach led to many political ills, such as the bureaucracy becoming more and more corrupt, the prosperity of the dynasty was only superficial, but secretly it left a mess of extravagance and official protection, and the emperor who succeeded to the throne could not fundamentally change, so step by step pushed the Qing dynasty to a state of destruction.
epilogue
In general, many historical figures or events that we know need to be investigated, not all historical facts are correct, we do not know the past comprehensively, it takes a long process to understand in depth, and also rely on generations of experts and scholars to explore, of course, we also have a truth-seeking attitude, can not listen to partial belief, otherwise it may be laughing generously.
