History is like a thirteen-year-old girl, often being criticized by others.

On the TV, Zhou Yunshen was talking: "Many so-called popular historical works are nothing more than taking out unofficial history or rumors to organize them in the current language. They have no own thoughts, no philosophical and aesthetic views. Reading this kind of dregs is actually a harm but no benefit!"

The host was very happy. For media people like them, the more intense the views, the better, and the more sharp the views, the more attractive they are.

So Mu Yuan agreed: "Indeed, many authors have more one-sided ideas, and their evaluation of many historical figures and historical events is unfair. In recent years, the content about history has been heating up in the cultural world. What do you think is the Three Kingdoms, the Analects of Confucius, the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, etc. Do you think this kind of historical writing fever is related to utilitarianism?"

"Of course it's related. At that time, there were not many people who wrote history in our group, and Hu Wei was a half latecomer. The reputation of the industry was ruined by many works! Some authors wrote Ming History just by using Wu Han's "Biography of Zhu Yuanzhang" or the ready-made "Biography of Zhu Di" and "Biography of Jiajing" as references, and using vulgar and nonsensical humor to make one book after another, trying to make a fortune."

After Zhou Yunshen finished speaking in one breath, he still felt a little unsatisfied with his entire attitude towards popular writing.

"What history could have been better? As we have always said, history needs to be remembered. If you want to please readers or use popular culture as the weather vane, it is most likely to flow into vulgarity. Such works are no more noble than street stall literature, and will eventually make readers feel nauseous."

Zhang Chu frowned slightly. Zhou Yunshen was at best just a researcher. He said such words just to set up a archway and could not have much influence at all.

Why did my dad call me to watch this show?

It is not surprising that many behaviors like criticizing the entire type of behavior have long been seen. Nowadays, many writers or experts are well-known to others because of criticism.

Fortunately, this question did not bother him for too long, because everything became clear after the inquiry by the host Mu Yuan.

"Then what do you think there are such misunderstandings in historical creation now? "

There was no such problem in the original interview book, it was just that Mu Yuan was playing randomly and just caught the topic just now.

Zhou Yunshen felt unhappy, and he sighed and said, "The main reason is that the threshold for writing is too low. Now anybody thinks that he can write history after reading this history book. This is simply an insult to history! Perhaps everyone knows that there is a so-called young writer who has not finished studying, but he thinks that readers of historical novels will be as good as readers of tomb robbers. It's a big mistake!"

"Are you talking about Zhang Chu?"

Mu Yuan asked suspiciously, and he was also happy.

After all, this has been revealed very clearly. There is only one in the world of tomb robbery novels, no semicolons, and they are still students!

Previous rumors about Zhang Chu's new book writing history have been widely circulated online and spread very widely.

Of course, his readers are all kinds of support, but they are a little overestimated in the eyes of others.

Where is the middle-aged man like Zhou Yunshen, who is not very popular, Zhang Chugao in terms of topicality?

After being in the show for so long, Mu Yuan finally got a little spiritual. This kind of explosive point is something that many shows dream of.

Even if "Telling" is more serious and not one of the interview programs that are provoking trouble, it also requires ratings and topics to maintain the program funding!

Zhou Yunshen admitted readily, "Yes, it's him. He is a science student who has not graduated from university and has no idea how much he has. History is different from the fantasy novels that Zhang Chu had written before. Other works can be written as long as he has good imagination, but historical works require accuracy, and it is difficult to imagine a young man writing history."

"Zhang Chu has not officially announced the type of new book yet, right? Even if he writes history, I actually look forward to it. After all, he is the top scorer in the college entrance examination, a student of Peking University, and the best newcomer winner last year."

Mu Yuan didn't know whether he was helping Zhang Chu explain or stimulating Zhou Yunshen. His words made the TV audience know who Zhang Chu was.

Indeed, among people's inherent influence, almost all those who write history are knowledgeable professionals, and young people like Zhang Chu almost do not understand history.

Zhou Yunshen continued to speak: "We professionals who write history must clearly understand the historical background at that time, and cannot speak nonsense, or translate the things in history books into vernacular Chinese. Just like when I wrote "Dunhuang", I not only returned to Dunhuang personally, but also found all relevant historical records. At the same time, I also knew the customs and feelings of the Song Dynasty and all ethnic groups in the Western Regions. History cannot be written by the way. I hope Zhang Chu can put his time on learning and reading, and don't always think about writing things."

Zhang Chu in front of the TV shook his head. Teacher Zhou clearly wanted to sell books, but he didn't leave his book "Dunhuang" in a few words.

Wang Po’s behavior of selling melons and boasting is understandable. After all, who doesn’t say that her works are good?

But Zhang Chu was very disgusted with Zhou Yunshen's practice of praising and belittleing others, especially the person who was trampled was Zhang Chu.

"So that's the case. No wonder your dad called back." Chu Lan said angrily, "When did age become the standard for measuring the quality of a book? Before you wrote your book, they knew it wouldn't work. What's the reason!"

"Mom, don't be angry. He just wants to criticize me to gain popularity on the Internet, but I'm not as good as he wants."

Zhou Yunshen may want to step on Zhang Chu, but this time he may step on the hedgehog!

Zhang Chu always felt that a touching historical work must not be a rigorous collection of proofreading that show off historical knowledge, nor would it be a historical record that rigidly translates ancient Chinese into vernacular history.

Learn from history. If historical works cannot attract readers to read, then what is the meaning of this word?

Zhang Chu wanted to make interesting and literary observations of historical figures from the perspective of human nature, decomposing human history into vivid, highly individual, and charming special individuals to describe them.

What's more, he didn't understand the history in this regard. He almost understood the concepts of the Ming Dynasty's rules, artifacts, culture, customs, etc., and penetrated into the historical situation of the Ming Dynasty.

Why are historical works now being shelved by bookstores?

It’s not because they are obscure and difficult to understand. Except for real history lovers, no one will read such books that violate the reading habits of modern consumers!
