Yan Chongnian
"Snap", a crisp sound sounded in the guild hall, and several times in succession.
Everyone stopped and froze, including Professor Yan Chongnian, who had been beaten, who just looked at the young man who was committing the crime.
The security guards immediately reacted and rushed forward to pull the man away, he tugged at Professor Yan's collar and did not let go, and the people around him also returned to their senses and stopped him from committing further atrocities.
Until the man was pulled away, Professor Yan Chongnian was still in a daze.
What the hell happened? Who is that man? Why did he do that? There are thousands of ideas in everyone's mind, but no one can give answers.
The sudden and blatant humiliation of the signing party, which was nearing the end of the contract, was enough to shock the entire academic community.
Yan Chongnian signing meeting
Although a farce has finally subsided, the reasons behind it are worth pondering.
Regardless of what circle this is happening, let's not discuss the identity of the beater and the person who was beaten.
A young man insults an old man in public, and every citizen has the right to demand it.
From a legal point of view, his public murder is illegal; from a moral point of view, his actions should be condemned by society as a whole.
But things did not go unexpectedly, and the beater became famous in the world, and some people praised his behavior.
An ordinary beating incident coupled with a premise, Huang Haiqing beat Professor Yan Chongnian in public.
Who is this Huang Haiqing, and what is Professor Yan Chongnian doing?
One is a small businessman in the Hanfu business, the other is a famous historian, these two people who can't beat the eight rods, is it because of personal grudges that this farce will be caused?
But Professor Yan Chongnian didn't know Huang Haiqing at all, so how could he have a grudge?
Huang Haiqing
The media found that Huang Haiqing was obsessed with the history of the Internet, so a reasonable explanation appeared.
The dispute between Ming and Qing fans has long existed, and it is not difficult to understand that Ming shi fans beat the professor of Qing shi. Just like the current rice circle, Ming powder will also have crazy bastard powder.
What is the dispute between Ming and Qing fans? It sounds nonsensical, but it's a real war about two dynasties that have perished.
"The Son of Heaven guards the gates of the kingdom, and the king dies." Maybe just by taking Ming Yingzong captive to discuss, Ming Fan thinks that you are demeaning the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, it is just out of context, because you also praise the Chongzhen Emperor for dying for sheji.
Huang Haiqing claimed to be a hardcore ming fan, while Yan Chongnian was a fierce and vicious qing fan.
In fact, he had long wanted to find Yan Chongnian to find out who was right and who was right, whether Daming was more prosperous or The Great Qing was more prosperous. However, the identity gap was too large, and there was no chance to see Professor Yan Chongnian at all.
At a lecture by Professor Yan Chongnian, Huang Haiqing finally met him, put forward his views on Daqing, and resisted him.
As we all know in the industry, Professor Yan Chongnian's academic discussion has three requirements.
First, it must be a major in Qing history; second, there must be an academic monograph on qing history; third, it must have experience in participating in international academic seminars.
It seems that the threshold of the three requirements is too high, resulting in many people directly losing the key card of debate.
These three requirements are actually not unreasonable, if not at the same level, without the same research experience, how to debate, the bull's head is not right, and the time of both sides is wasted.
What's more, Huang Haiqing only often reads the history of the Ming Dynasty on the Internet, not a research scholar.
After Professor Yan Chongnian learned of his purpose, he did not bother with him much, but chose to settle the dispute and deal with it calmly.
Therefore, such a bad beating would end with only 15 days of detention.
Many people proposed to hold this debate on CCTV, but Professor Yan Chongnian just laughed it off.
He thought that such a debate was meaningless, and he did not have much impression of the beater, but only if he was unlucky.
Since the publication of the online history serial novel "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty", the number of Ming fans has exploded, and the Ming Dynasty has become popular overnight, and the popularity has risen to the highest in the dynasty.
But since then, Ming Fan has become the object of ridicule in the online history discussion circle.
Ming fans began to maintain the historical status of the Ming Dynasty, attacking some Qing fans.
The emergence of Ming fan is also partly the result of the popularity of "Hundred Family Pulpits" and Qing Palace dramas. Qing palace dramas have beautified the history of the Qing Dynasty to a certain extent.
More and more people began to understand the history of the Qing Dynasty and began to argue about the issue of the Ming and Qing nationalities.
Many non-professionals on the Internet also joined the discussion, and they learned about a part of the fictional history through cross-talk, book commentary, and TV series, and began to talk about it, showing their erudition.
Yan Chongnian "Ming Dynasty Qingxing"
Ming Fan believed that the Qing Dynasty was the mastermind of the Manchus, and signed various treaties at the end of the period to lose power and humiliate the country, which made Qing Fan even more dissatisfied.
But many problems occur when they are actually angry and dizzying, making people lose their minds.
Professor Yan Chongnian studied qing history, is he a qing fan?
Most of the Ming fans, because Professor Yan Chongnian was a narrator of the History of the Qing Dynasty, began to attack him en masse.
Finding a collection of his inappropriate quotations not only demeans the Ming Dynasty and elevates the Qing Dynasty, but even insults the present great motherland.
A historian once wrote an article to discuss who was wrong in the Ming and Qing dynasty controversies.
In fact, the clear powder is not wrong, the clear powder is also correct, the wrong is not the powder, but the blowing.
Many Ming fans not only blow Ming, but more importantly, black Qing, and make the Qing Dynasty black useless.
As soon as someone talked about the progressive significance that the Qing Dynasty brought to society, they began to raise the battle flag to be superior.
Even if you only objectively discuss some of the shortcomings and significance of the Qing Dynasty, you will be attacked.
But such attacks have always existed only on the network.
Huang Haiqing was the first to bring the Ming and Qing fan disputes to the table, and used violent means to express his own ideas.
His discussion of scholarship has fallen into the inferiority when he slaps out twice.
Bringing violence into the scholarly circle of civility, his mistakes are not just morally condemned, but come at a legal cost.
The dispute between The Ming and Qing dynasties is meaningless, and it will even have a negative impact on society.
Those simple dynasty blowers have become keyboard warriors on the Internet, and they are ridiculed by the crowd.
For the followers of the history of the Internet, they are even more nonsensical, not thinking about the real logic of history at all, and carrying out sensational fantasies about a certain dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty had zhu Yuanzhang's massacre project, and the Qing Dynasty of course also had a literal prison that forced the literati to die.
Historical nihilism not only runs counter to the socialist road with contemporary characteristics, but also violates Marxism as a whole.
People like Huang Haiqing are deeply affected by historical nihilism, turning the fanatical praise of dynasties into attacks on others.
Therefore, the matter of Huang Haiqing slapping Yan Chongnian has changed from a simple dispute between Ming and Qing fans to a Ming and Qing dynasty historian.
They believed that it was because of Yan Chongnian's improper words and deeds that he would rise up at once and attack in accordance with the trend.
Huang Haiqing had called the Hundred Family Forum many times, but all of them had rejected their request to communicate with Professor Yan Chongnian.
In his opinion, after reading "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty", his skills are no different from those of experts.
In Huang Haiqing's view, Professor Yan Chongnian not only deviated from his position on the Ming and Qing issues, but also refused to discuss it when some people pointed it out.
The "academic stars" who came out of the "Hundred Tribunes": Yan Chongnian, Yi Zhongtian, Yu Dan, wang Liqun
Ten years after the incident, he expressed his opinion on the matter, still insisting that he was right and that there was no introspection.
He and his brother collected a collection of Yan Chongnian's quotations from various platforms, refuting them one by one, and such a skeptical spirit may be worthy of praise, but many problems should not be self-exerted and add oil and vinegar.
Huang Haiqing believed that Yan Chongnian deliberately covered up the sins of the Manchurian rulers, which was an unforgivable act.
When the reporter asked about the revision of the Shanghai history textbook, whether he agreed with the use of the history of the development of civilization to replace the main line of dynastic rise and violent struggle.
Professor Yan Chongnian had not read the Shanghai history textbook, so he did not qualify, but he was in favor of revising the history textbook.
Such a few short replies, in Huang Haiqing's view, are aimed at diluting the violent struggles such as the Manchu Qing Customs Massacre.
From an objective point of view, Professor Yan Chongnian has made great contributions to the study of Chinese history, but he also has to admit that some of the views he put forward in public are indeed very controversial.
"Leaving your head without hair is too cruel, but it has also promoted the great integration of nationalities."
Some of Professor Yan Chongnian's remarks in "Speaking the History of the Qing Dynasty" are indeed debatable.
He also proposed the ten major contributions of the Qing Dynasty to China, mankind and the world.
All in all, he did not completely deny the Qing Dynasty, and even when criticizing some policies, he was positive about it.
Even so, debatable speech does not equate to inappropriate speech.
In academic research, a thousand people have a thousand Hamlets, and everyone can have a different opinion.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, a hundred flowers had blossomed, not to mention that in such an enlightened and open civilized society, some people would take violent measures because of different ideas.
Therefore, tracing back to the source, the cause of this slap incident is not the dispute between Ming and Qing fans, nor is it improper speech.
This matter is simpler, because Professor Yan Chongnian's remark that the Ming and Qing dynasties should not be opposed is a provocation to the concept of dynasties that Huang Haiqing has always insisted on, and after repeatedly proving fruitlessness, he uses violence to prove his point of view.
Then this has constituted "academic violence", Yi Zhongtian once proposed that whether it is a dispute between Ming and Qing fans or improper speech, it is not the essence of the incident. Slapping Professor Yan Chongnian is naked "academic violence."
Academic debate should adhere to the bottom line of civilization, and no one has the right to use lynching in public space.
In this era, more and more young people are reluctant to contact the high culture, they do not pay attention to politeness, pursue sensibility to prove their uniqueness, they have no morality, they are talking about the truth with their fists.
Easy in the sky
This is closely related to the propaganda of social moral culture, whose moral quality has been extremely low, which makes people worry, and even more worrying for true scholars.
Can such a group of people really pass on the traditional Chinese culture and virtues?
When Huang Haiqing stated the reason for hitting people, he admitted that it was not a whim, but a long-planned plan.
He believes that Yan Chongnian praised the history of the Qing Dynasty because Yan Chongnian was a Manchu ancestor, which was to use his prestige to cover up those evil past events for his ancestors.
After beating people for this reason, he was also quite proud, believing that to treat people like Professor Yan Chongnian should "use the most humiliating way to make him realize his mistakes."
Huang Haiqing questioned Professor Yan Chongnian in the lecture, and Professor Yan Chongnian believed that these were not academic issues.
Huang Haiqing refused to give up and insisted on discussing with Professor Yan Chongnian for three hours, but Professor Yan only suggested that he "go back and read more serious books."
Yi Zhongtian, Yan Chongnian, Wang Liqun
If a history book can be academic and good-looking, it is of course the most ideal state.
But few people can do it, for online historical fiction, the views of historical researchers generally can not be too demanding, after all, it is not an academic work.
As long as there are no big mistakes, they are acceptable, and they can do the most basic science popularization and let people read it, which is the best result.
The authors of those historical novels themselves may be amateur history lovers, and many stories are based on historical facts, and then rational fiction and re-creation.
They themselves also hope that everyone will only look at it with the mentality of watching the interpretation, rather than as historical facts.
This is probably the reason why Professor Yan Chongnian is reluctant to argue with it, because they are not on the same level themselves.
When "academic controversy" evolves into "academic violence", it is those who are really immersed in academic research that are hurt.
For the onlookers of this academic controversy, they will also be affected by different harms.
They will receive wrong ideas and make wrong academic evaluations.
Professor Yan Chongnian is not the only one who has suffered academic violence, nor has it only occurred in the field of historical research. Teacher Yu Dan was invited to Nanjing to give a lecture.
Based on the fact that Professor Yan Chongnian was slapped, the organizers sent a large number of security teams to ensure the safety of Teacher Yu Dan.
Before she arrived, someone had put up a small note at the lecture site, and the words were extremely provocative.
At the end of the note, a sentence was written: "We will never do anything, please rest assured!" ”
In academic competition, we should abide by the rules of academia.
According to the ancient times, if you want to compete, you first need to send a prayer to inform yourself of your thoughts, and if he accepts it, it is best.
If he does not accept it, he should respond academically, rather than resisting it in a rough way.
In this technologically advanced society, millions of views can be experienced without leaving home.
With the broadcast of television programs such as "Hundred Tribunes", serious academic research has entered the general public, but it has not taken into account the acceptance of correct academic evaluation by the general public.
Events such as signings and lectures are valuable opportunities for authors and readers alike.
Nowadays, it has become a grass and tree, and the wind and noise have made academic research that should have developed freely become rigid.
When Professor Tao Dongfeng published that "Chinese literature has entered the era of pretending to be gods and ghosts" and criticized some unrealistic fantasy literature, it was attacked by some groups of writers.
Professor Yan Chongnian was slapped by Ming Fan, and Teacher Yu Dan was provoked, and such examples have emerged endlessly even now.
The increasing number of cultural celebrities collectively "anti-riot" is not only a problem with security, but should be escalated into a "cultural phenomenon" as critics believe. ”
In the glitzy years, the literary world was no longer calm, and the thriving scene did not look as bright as it appeared.
They grow up in dark corners, at all costs.
Overgrown with weeds, good or bad, no one can evaluate now.
Only wait for the future generations, all the dust settles, to see how they look at such an era.
But since you are in the literary world, you should let everything return to the original way it was, academics to academia, violence to violence, and no one will discuss whether violence should disappear in the area where violence is needed.
