The Qing Dynasty had an epoch-making historiography master, but he was also a shameless villain that everyone spurned

Now talk shows are flying all over the world, and if you want to say that you are doing well, it is also a "Xiaosong Strange Talk", which is also one of the must-see programs in the inn every week.

In fact, the inn's interest in Gao Xiaosong is not a year or two, as early as 20 years ago, I liked the songs he wrote, I did not expect that Gao Xiaosong, who was purely confused in folk songs, turned out to be so extensive in experience, as if it were two completely different Gao Xiaosong.

However, to speak of which, Gao Xiaosong has more than two, at least three. The first is Gao Xiaosong in the campus folk song, opening his mouth "youth without regrets", closing his mouth to "love the wind and dust", and living with "you at the same table" in the "era of white clothes fluttering";

The second is Gao Xiaosong in "Xiaosong Strange Talk", who discusses the world, thinks for thousands of years, and is full of scholar-doctor feelings and free intellectual atmosphere;

The third is the real-life Gao Xiaosong, greasy mouth slippery tongue, meat vegetarian is not jealous, completely a Beijing well in the ruffian, so that those who like his songs are stunned.

For this stunning contrast, Gao Xiaosong himself has a wonderful argument, to the effect that: people have two sides, one side is placed in the work, the other side is left for life, some people are very elegant in life, but the works written are very rude, and when you turn into ashes and leave, posterity can only see the coarseness in your works, who knows your elegance? And I chose to leave the unbearable side in my life, put my feelings in the works, hundreds of years later, Gao Xiaosong this person has long gone, but my works are still there, so I am beautiful in the eyes of future generations.

Although this wonderful theory is a bit of a chicken thief, it is really wonderful, and it is not guilty to deal with both truth and disguise, and it belongs to a type of person who lives very clearly.

There are also many people in this category in history, such as one in the Qing Dynasty.

This man, named Wang Mingsheng, who is known to people who study history, wrote the "Seventeen Histories of Discussion", which together with Zhao Yi's "Twenty-Two Historical Notes" and Qian Daxin's "Twenty-Two Historical Examinations" are called the three major historical masterpieces of the early Qing Dynasty, and also put forward the historical thinking with "seeking truth" as the highest purpose, which had a great impact on the historical research of later generations.

In addition, Wang Mingsheng's achievements in poetry are not small, and the great poet Hong Liangji commented on his poems such as "The sun rises at the beginning of the day, and the clouds are full of sky."

However, it is such a historian who is known for his "truth-seeking", and who is also a literary master who is "the beginning of the sun and the clouds are full of clear clouds", but in real life, he is an insatiable and bottomless official moth, which makes people break their glasses.

When he was young, Wang Mingsheng used to work as a tutor in a large family, and every morning when he arrived at the door of the house, Wang Mingsheng would stand there and make a gesture of wrapping his hands around him, and if he didn't know, he thought he was practicing tai chi.

For a long time, people also wondered, where xiao Wang practiced tai chi, why did he practice at the gate? And practice that one action every day, not afraid to practice illness? But Wang Mingsheng didn't care, he still practiced there every day to embrace the world, until the end of the employment period, the day he was leaving, Wang Mingsheng told people the truth.

It turned out that he saw that this family's wealth was widespread, and his eyes were panicked, so he did that action every day at the door, which meant that he would take all the wealth of this family and use it for himself in the future.

A person who is so obsessed with money and wealth naturally enters the official arena like a fish in the water, greedy for money without scruples, and money from all directions, as long as he has enough, will definitely put an arm around it, whether you are disaster relief money or life-saving money, all of them will be skinned.

So bottomlessly greedy, even the "well-informed" colleagues can't look at it anymore, reminding him, Lao Wang, you are so highly educated, everyone regards you as a historian, we always have to point out the face, how do you let future generations see you?

As a result, Wang Mingsheng made a wonderful remark: "Greed is only a momentary ridicule, learning is the inheritance of eternity, and Yu is confident that the name of the text can be passed on to the world." By a hundred years later, the word of mouth is gone, and the works are still there, and my moral articles are still comfortable. ”

Wang Mingsheng's wonderful theory is similar to Gao Xiaosong's, and I doubt that Gao Xiaosong also knows this story.

Which is more important, the immediate benefit or the posthumous name? Countless people in ancient and modern China and abroad are struggling with this problem, but Wang Mingsheng has successfully solved this age-old problem with extreme shamelessness and hypocrisy. Who says fish and bear paws can't have both? Look at me Wang Mingsheng, the profit in front of me is not less profitable, but also with my knowledge in the future generations to leave a glorious image, abalone stewed bear paw, delicious and nutritious.

It should be said that Wang Mingsheng's purpose has basically been achieved by him, and now he is introduced as a "famous historian, scribe, and examiner", and his image is extremely tall. But fortunately, there are also notes from the literati of the same era, so that this Qing Dynasty version of "Gao Xiaosong" shows its tail.

Of course, today's Gao Xiaosong is still different from the Qing Dynasty version of "Gao Xiaosong", because he did not hurt others, but it is a rare true temperament, celebrity style, posterity to mention, is also a literary anecdote, haha just a laugh, and mention the Qing Dynasty version of "Gao Xiaosong", only disgusting.
