Chapter 315 Subversive Writing
The most expensive school district house is your own study room.
Zhang Chu has been like a hardworking little bee these days. If his mother hadn't called out from the study just now, he might have finished writing all the Hai Rui part!
Although I was traveling with my parents in Yanjing before, I read and write books whenever I had time to rest. Now it seems that the progress is quite good.
I only finished writing the last part of Qi Jiguang. After all, there were not many words in "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli".
It can also be regarded as an epoch-making work in the historical world today. Today's historical reading materials are stable and dogmatic.
Now Zhang Chu wants to use this fresh method of telling history to impact history, making "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" the first impact force that impacts the hard section of history. It will provide a new possibility to tell people that history can also be written like this!
Challenging authority will definitely lead to a lot of controversy. Now Zhou Yunshen’s criticism can only be considered a minor matter. After this book is officially launched, the controversy it will definitely be overwhelming.
This level of doubt is like feeding Zhang Chu an appetizer to practice his hands.
After all, the domestic historical community has always had a relatively conservative side and it is difficult to accept new things. When you see this book, you will definitely think that his historical narrative method is not in compliance with the norm.
In fact, Zhang Chu has not received such feedback now. His teacher has also suggested that he should not write in this way.
But is "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli", which has lost its literary writing, still itself?
This is like asking a fantasy work not to practice, and asking a fantasy work to become realistic, which is simply impossible!
There are not many popular historical books on the market today, and they are still in their initial stages.
Just like the Hanlinxuan Bookstore now has few bookshelfs of historical works, after all, not many people can pick them up and read them and buy them home.
Most of them are based on the life experiences of historical celebrities, directly summarizing the experiences and lessons from major historical successes and failures, and then closely linking readers with possible problems in their lives to organize and promote manuscripts.
For example, many historical works on the bookshelf are named with strategies, wisdom, historical rules, etc., which simply opens up the book market.
In Zhang Chu's view, the significance of historical books lies in popularization!
Popularity does not mean making up randomly. The source of historical materials and selection process of most popular historical books is very rigorous.
Nowadays, popular historical books are only in their infancy. Not to mention reinterpreting history and understanding life when talking about history, even many books that talk about historical views, life courses, and the content of dealing with people is very rare.
In this case, Zhang Chu would not directly take out the historical works of Mingyue or King Helian Bobo, and the third prince of Cao, so he would first use a book called "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" to set the tone!
Compared with the writing style of "What Things in the Ming Dynasty", "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" is more docile. If this early preparation is not laid, it is probably the old scholars in the historical community who will vomit blood.
Zhang Chu's idea is very simple. He is only 19 years old and he doesn't need to be so anxious to throw everything out.
The future is still long. Now you can slowly sow seeds and wait for a while to harvest them. Anyway, the works are there and no one can take them away!
...
After the winter vacation at Yanjing University, Yang Xuancong has been at home. His wife goes out to dance square dance every day, while he stays at home to read books, and occasionally tells her grandson about winter vacation homework.
As a retired university professor, Yang Xuancong's spare time sounds boring, but he has no resentment and enjoys it.
Watching one student after another become a talent is his greatest pleasure!
Now, after several mediocre classes, there is finally a more reliable student. Yang Xuancong has been paying attention to Zhang Chu, a famous student since the beginning of school.
At first he thought that the child would miss classes for a long time or not listen carefully in class, but he found that it was no different from ordinary students.
At this time, Yang Xuancong remembered the article he received again, "This child actually connects history with literature, and his mind is too flexible."
After living for most of his life, Yang Xuancong realized after reading "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli". It turned out that history can be viewed like this and written like this.
This influence was revolutionary and subversive to him!
Zhang Chu had never had a similar work before, which is a bit like the impact of Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts novels on the Chinese popular literature circle back then, and also like the impact of the queen of the Hong Kong song Teresa Teng on Chinese pop songs.
Of course, it is normal for a specific discussion of history to have different opinions on some conclusions and description methods, because it is difficult for history to have a consensus. Different perspectives of history, different materials, different positions and starting points may affect historical narratives. It is normal to have controversy.
But regardless of whether historians and history experts accept it, "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" will be a new trend and its impact on young people, especially college students, is an absolute.
There are always people in the historical community with different schools, different personalities and different reading habits. It is normal for this kind of controversy.
Yang Xuancong is a very open-minded person. He believes that there is no fixed standard for writing history, and there is no one or the other. It depends on the writer's level. It is not that it is not easy to write, but that it is good to write academically!
The Science and Education Channel is probably a relatively large stage for niche research or experts like them to be on the table. Yang Xuancong has always been paying attention to it.
Now that he has discovered such a thing when watching TV, he is so angry!
"Who is Zhou Yunshen this time? He is actually qualified to criticize others proudly."
Zhang Chu's article "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" was posted by himself in a real historical research group and received many works recognized by old friends.
Even Yang Xuancong knew that this person had never even read Zhang Chu's works. If someone who had read Zhang Chu's works would never say that kind of thing easily!
The idea of becoming famous by stepping on Zhang Chu is already Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone knows it.
Yang Xuancong walked into his study, picked up his cell phone and dialed Zhang Chu's phone, comforting him.
"Hey, is it Zhang Chu?"
Zhang Chu, who was reading history books in front of the computer, said to his phone: "It's me, Professor Yang, are you asking me for something?"
"It's nothing big. I happened to see Zhou Yunshen's interview on TV. He was talking nonsense, don't forget to think about it. That guy didn't understand what history writing is. He thought that if he wrote a book or two, he could become an expert."
Zhang Chu was stunned. This was the first time he heard the professor swearing and replied: "It's okay, I didn't take him in my heart either. It was the old saying I had said before. There were so many people criticizing me, so Zhou Yunshen was nothing."
