Into Unscientific

"Fourth Century Mystery?"

Hearing what Zhu Qizhen said, Zhang Ying couldn't help but froze:

"Mr. Zhu, maybe there is something wrong with my understanding. Let me confirm with you again."

"The devil you are talking about, ahem, what the Neon people call historical gaps refers to the absence of certain important events or nodes in the fourth century, or..."

"The Neon people are completely ignorant of the historical process of their one hundred years in the fourth century. They don't even know the names of the rulers and cities at that time?"

Zhu Qizhen glanced at the girl with a smile, and the corners of the figure's mouth curved slightly:

"The answer is of course the latter."

"That is to say, during the entire fourth century of Neon, which was nearly a hundred years, there was nothing in the literature."

Zhang Ying looked at Zhu Qizhen blankly and said nothing for a long time:

"."

Come when she wants to.

The mystery of the fourth century mentioned by Zhu Qizhen may refer to the blanks in certain nodes. Objectively speaking, such blanks are also very common in Chinese history.

For example, the most recent example is the ancient Dian Kingdom, whose origins were still controversial before today.

Similar questions include whether the person who died in Maweiyi was Concubine Yang herself, whether Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty and Emperor Gong of the Song Dynasty were related by blood, whether the Golden Chamber Alliance existed, when the accurate chronology of the Warring States Period was released, etc.

For any civilization that spans more than a thousand years, it is reasonable to have such gaps in events.

For example, Britain, Egypt and even India also have similar unsolved mysteries.

The result was unexpected.

Zhu Qizhen unexpectedly came up with such an earth-shattering answer - Neon actually missed a whole hundred years of history in the fourth century?

"."

Seeing Zhang Ying and Wang Tong in shock, Zhu Qizhen took the initiative to popularize science:

"You two may not know it well, but Neon's authoritative information about history is called Jiji, which is the collective name of the historical books "Kojiki" and "Nihon Shoki"."

"These two books were written in the 8th century. They contain not only myths about the creation of the world by the ancient gods, but also records of early emperors."

"We won't mention the mythical story of neon. The earliest record of neon historical events in the records is related to a neon country called 'Yamatai Kingdom', and this part of the content is actually copied from our "Three Kingdoms· "Book of Wei·Biography of the Japanese".

"In AD chronology, it is almost around 200 AD when the Yamatai Kingdom paid tribute to the Western Jin Dynasty. The Neon Queen who paid tribute at that time was called Himihu."

"After the Yamatai Kingdom, the last neon regime recorded in the records was the Five Kings of Japan. At that time, King Zan of Japan sent envoys to the Southern Song Dynasty - this part of the content is also excerpted from our "Song Book"."

Having said this, Zhu Qizhen showed his hands to Zhang Ying again:

"So Ms. Zhang, can you guess something now?"

Although Zhang Ying did not graduate from a top university like Wudaokou like Wang Tong, this girl is still a 211 master's student, and her thinking is still very sharp:

"Are you saying that the reason Neon lacks documentary records from the fourth century is because we have no information for them to copy?"

"bingo!"

Zhu Qizhen snapped his fingers briskly, and a foreign text came out of his mouth. I don't know if Old Zhu would have raised his coffin from the Xiaoling Mausoleum if he knew that this guy was so out of touch:

"That's right, in the fourth century AD, China's Western Jin Dynasty was in chaos, and China was in chaos during the Five Husbands. In the words of your modern people, that was the period of the Magic Jin Book Directory."

"Affected by these factors, China also lost a lot of literary and historical records about neon at that time, which led to the emergence of the so-called fourth-century mystery of neon."

After Zhang Ying listened to Zhu Qizhen's introduction quietly, she touched her chin and the lower shell of her helmet:

"That's true. But Mr. Zhu, where did the records excerpted from "Yongle Dadian" come from?"

Zhu Qizhen sighed when he heard this, and said with half regret and half emotion:

"Ms. Zhang, although the national turmoil was difficult during the Western Jin and Eastern Jin Dynasties, it was still a long time of more than a hundred years."

"Under the social background of that time, it can only be said that cultural and historical materials are more difficult to preserve, but they are far from extinct."

"According to the information we compiled, "Yongle Dadian" contains excerpts of literary and historical materials written by two Jin Dynasty historians."

"Among them, the materials of the Western Jin Dynasty were recorded by Guo Bian, and the materials of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were recorded by Xi Chichi Teeth."

"These two manuscripts were brought to Baimei, Xinyu by Xi Zhizhi to escape the world. They were transferred to the Youmin Temple built in 502 AD. They were not taken to Japan with the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty."

"Therefore, this period of history is naturally missing from the records recorded by the Neon People."

"Later Yao Guangxiao was ordered to compile the Yongle Dadian. The abbot of Youmin Temple donated the manuscripts of these two materials, and they were excerpted into the Yongle Dadian."

Speaking of well-known historians in China, names like Tai Shigong, Ban Gu, Chen Shou, or Zuo Qiuming, Fan Ye, etc. may pop up in most people's minds.

But in fact.

In China's thousands of years of history, there are still many historians who are excellent and authoritative but relatively less famous.

Guo Ban and Xi Chizhi are typical representatives.

Compared with Xi Chi Chisel, Guo Fan may be slightly more famous - because he made a slightly famous comment:

[At that time, all the Shu officials and subordinates were handsome in the world, and none of them came out of Weiyou].

The Wei in this sentence is Jiang Wei, so there are still some people who have heard of Guo Pian's name in the Jiang Wei fan circle.

In addition, Guo Ban also wrote "Shiyu of the Wei and Jin Dynasties", and "Wei Zhi-Wudi Chronicle" also quoted Guo Ban many times. He is considered a slightly famous historian.

As for learning to chisel teeth?

Not an exaggeration.

Among the hundred people in future generations, probably few have heard of this buddy's name.

However, Xi Chizhi is also a very capable historical authority, and "Han, Jin, Spring and Autumn" was written by him.

That's right, it's the "unofficial history" that many Cao Cao fans regard as the source of all evil.

Because Xi Zhuozhi put forward a historical view in "Han, Jin, Spring and Autumn", that is, Jin inherited the Han Dynasty, which directly affected Luo Guanzhong's historical view on the creation of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and adopted it in many novels.

The reason why Liu Bei can become a succubus in the novel is because of his habit of chiseling teeth.

However, this personal approach does not actually affect the historical value of "Han, Jin, Spring and Autumn", because who is the orthodox Cao Han has always been one of the battlefields of controversy among historians.

For example, Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" takes Cao Wei as the orthodox one, and Xi Chizhi's "Han, Jin, Spring and Autumn" takes Shu Han as the orthodox one, but the historical value of both is equally high.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian" recognized the Cao Wei orthodoxy, and Zhu Xi's "Tongjian Gangmu" in the Southern Song Dynasty changed the chronology according to the Shu Han chronology, taking the Shu Han as the orthodox.

When the Qing Dynasty's "Summary of the General Catalog of Siku" was published, Chen Shou was directly denied in the book.

It can be said like this.

The orthodox dispute between Cao and Han is the salty and sweet tofu nao in history, and it runs through nearly two thousand years of historical writings.

Then Zhu Qizhen briefly introduced the information about Guo Fan and Xi Chizhi, and Zhang Ying and Wang Tong barely had some impressions of the two of them.

It might be a little difficult for the young couple to recite the names of Guo Yan and Xi Chizhi's works on the spot, but if they hear these two names again in the future, Zhang Ying and Wang Tong will be able to remember these two people more or less. They are relatively reliable. That's enough, historian.

From a certain perspective, this is the meaning of popular science.

"."

Then Zhang Ying poked her head into the display cabinet and asked Zhu Qizhen curiously:

"Mr. Zhu, I have remembered the names of Guo Fan and Xi Chizhi now, but what about the contents they recorded?"

"What happened on that island during the more than one hundred years of the fourth century when Neon was lost?"

"What happened?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qizhen waved his hand again, and a virtual "Yongle Dadian" appeared in his hand again:

"This is complicated to say. Well, let's start with the Neon Queen Himiko."

"Queen Himihu is the head of the 'Yamatai Kingdom'. If you search the encyclopedia, you will find that her birth and death years were approximately AD 159-247."

"But the ruler of Neon at the same time was Emperor Oishin. The two data seem to be conflicting. Both domestic and Neon historians have different opinions on this."

Emperor.

This is a role that cannot be ignored in the history of neon civilization. It has been the highest spiritual symbol of neon since its birth.

Nihong believes that the first emperor was Emperor Jimmu, who was enthroned on the first day of the first lunar month in 660 BC. However, this statement is not very convincing in history - because the earliest literary and historical materials that Nihong can find can only be traced back. to the 3rd century.

So where did the emperors in neon history come from?

The answer is: it was derived from later generations.

After Dahua reformed in 645 AD, the feudal system was established in Neon.

In order to establish the legitimacy of the feudal rule of the Yamato court, the emperors of the several hundred years before 645 were calculated from back to front.

That's why Neon's emperors are divided into series one to four. Among them, series two, three, and four are still reliable (because they are all characters after 600 AD), but the 33 emperors of the first series are not so easy to say.

The emperors in the second half of the first line are relatively reliable, but the further you go, the more mysterious they become. For example, those who owe Shi Yashiro lived an average of 120 years, and they are all descendants of Amaterasu.

This thing is different from Peng Zu. Although Peng Zu claimed to have lived for eight hundred years, later generations of China generally regarded him as a mythical figure, and few people would think that he really lived that long.

But the Neon people are different. They really believe that all the emperors of the first line have a lifespan of one or two hundred years, and they are all of the blood of gods.

And the interesting thing is.

If you look closely at the resume of the first line of emperors, you will find that there is a transition point between the unreliable group and the reliable group.

This transition point is called Emperor Ogami. This person is in the middle between reliable and unreliable. His reign is from 270 to 310 AD.

Well, this is the time when neon first appeared in Chinese history books. I can really understand it in one sentence here.

But on the other hand.

As Zhu Qizhen said, there is a certain conflict between the character of Emperor Ongami and the records of Queen Himihu, and historians also have different opinions on this.

Some people think that Neon is not too big in terms of bigness, but it is not too small in terms of smallness. If it is not maintained uniformly, it will be like the feudal lords in the late Han Dynasty.

Some scholars believe that Queen Himihu is Emperor Onshin, because in the 16th year of Onshin, Wang Ren, a Baekje native, came to Neon with 10 volumes of "The Analects of Confucius" and 1 volume of "The Thousand-Character Classic", and Chinese characters began to be introduced into Neon. And this was the reward Queen Himihu received after paying tribute.

"."

Then Zhu Qizhen turned the Yongle Encyclopedia to a later page and said:

"As we all know, the word "xie" is a polyphonic word. In addition to the "evil" "xie", there are many other pronunciations."

"For example, "yé" is used to express rhetorical questions, such as the famous Han Dynasty folk song "Shangxie, I want to know you, long life without extinction"

"In addition, the word "xie" can also be read as "yú", "xú" and "yá."

"The sound "yá" usually refers to a place name, which is the same as "yá."

At this point, Zhu Qizhen looked at Wang Tong and Zhang Ying:

"Yamatai has always been pronounced as "yé mǎ tái", but if you read it with "yá"."

"yá?"

Zhang Ying quickly repeated it several times after hearing this:

"yá mǎ táiyá mǎ táiyá mǎ tái"

Suddenly.

The girl widened her eyes without warning and looked at Zhu Qizhen blankly:

"Yamato?"
