"But! We all know that to be objective and fair, we need to have a unified standard. In this regard, the Western historians have never been very good. In other words, their performance is quite poor. From the existing research, human beings

Civilization has two major origins - one originated from the Fertile Crescent, creating the three ancient civilizations of ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt and ancient India. The successors of these ancient civilizations are Western civilization and Arab civilization; the other birthplace

It is the Loess Plateau, where the Chinese civilization was created. However, in the historical research on these two civilizations, Western historians have always adopted double standards. You all have double standards, how can you be objective and fair?"

"boom--!"

As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar.

Kameda Uchizo hurriedly raised his hand and asked: "Sir, are you saying that Western historical research is subject to academic discrimination?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Is there any academic discrimination here? We can all judge together! But I am opposed to populizing all issues. It is better to keep historical research simple. There is no need for special treatment, just use a unified standard.

!”

"Can you give an example?"

"Okay!" Li Yuan said with a smile, "We all know that the Chinese civilization lasted for five thousand years. However, in the Western historians, they only recognize three thousand years. They do not recognize the two ancient dynasties of Xia and Shang. For one reason -

It’s just that there is no archaeological data. In other words, there are archaeological data from the same era, but there is no text to prove it.”

"It should be noted that the Chinese dynasties paid great attention to historical documents, and even had special historians to record history. What about Western civilization? They were from the ancient Greek era, and collected and sorted out part of the history of ancient Egypt; the ancient Roman era

, collected and organized the history of ancient Greece? By the time of the Dark Ages of the Middle Ages, most of the documents and materials had been burned by the church. In fact, almost all the historical materials left today were collected and organized during the Renaissance, and many of them were in the name of the ancients.

Forged? Just this kind of information? The Western historians actually admit it? Even works like "Homer's Epic" are regarded as historical information?"

"Of course, if there is a lack of written data, then it is acceptable to use all written materials as much as possible and verify them through archaeology. This is acceptable in historical research."

"But accusing China of not having any documentary materials? So what is "Historical Records"? Isn't it written in words?"

Hearing this, the whole place fell into silence. Sinology is still quite popular in Benzi's country, and they basically all know Tai Shigong's "Historical Records".

Li Yuan continued: "We all know that "Historical Records" is the first official history of China, and the contents in it are basically true and reliable. Although some materials are lost due to problems such as loss, only the "Historical Records" remains

It is an only copy. But Sima Qian must have written it based on the information he already had. In other words, he did have information around him at that time, but it has been unfortunately lost in modern times."

"Fortunately, we still have this "Historical Records". And through circumstantial evidence and archaeological discoveries, the authenticity of "Historical Records" has been continuously confirmed. Then we can think that the history recorded in "Historical Records" is indeed true!"

"Of course, it cannot be 100% true and reliable. There may be errors in some places due to various reasons. Then we should provide conclusive evidence to prove which places are wrong. That is to say, it needs to be falsified. We should never doubt everything.

, all details must be supported by circumstantial evidence! To sum up - it cannot be falsified, which means that the contents in "Historical Records" are true!"

"For example: Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin! Except for the records in "Historical Records", there is no other circumstantial evidence to prove that there is a historical figure like Jing Ke and the historical event of assassinating the King of Qin. There is no archaeological data. For example, the sword in Jing Ke's hand

, that map? Doesn’t Jing Ke’s assassination of King Qin exist?”

"For example, consider the assassination of Caesar. What circumstantial evidence do you have in the West? Is there any archaeological data? Where is the dagger that assassinated Caesar? Does this historical event not exist? It is completely impossible, right? If it is placed in the study of Western history

, this view is quite ridiculous, isn’t it?”

"However, in the study of the ancient Xia and Shang dynasties, exactly this very ridiculous phenomenon occurred. Since these two dynasties are recorded in "Historical Records", it is assumed that they are true and reliable. If you object, please come up with reliable evidence.

Evidence! But now it’s the other way around? You China can’t produce evidence, so it doesn’t exist?”

"Tell me, is this disgusting?"

Regarding the Xia-Shang Project, Western historians have really disgusted our country. It should be said that this is indeed a research topic of archeology and history, but it does not need to waste people and money?

Even later on the Internet, there are still countless trolls who just don't recognize the existence of the Xia Dynasty? Do you have the ability to prove it? Prove that "Historical Records" is all forged?

[To tell you the truth, I have been using hununpp recently to read books and catch up on updates. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. .hununpp can be used on Android and Apple.]

Readers and reporters can basically understand Li Yuan's explanation. Is this really the truth?

Why is this happening? Does it mean that if you cut off one or two thousand years of Chinese history, it will appear that your Western history has a long history? What kind of dirty mentality is that?

However, the Western reporter still refused to give up: "Mr. Yuan, maybe I am not as professional as you about specific historical events. But I have a question: why almost all other historians have no objections, including scholars from your country. Only

Are you the only one who objects?"

"Does this need to be said? I don't rely on this to make a living. I am just an amateur. When the road is rough, what should I not dare to say?"

The whole audience burst into laughter. Those people below, they all remembered the funny shows of professors and scholars before. Are they really afraid to tell the truth?

Especially in this country, European and American countries still have academic discrimination, so it is easy to resonate with these people.

So when they saw the Western reporter speechless, they felt a burst of secret joy.

I haven’t mentioned it yet, Brother Yuan is our good friend. There’s another news tomorrow!

…

Facing the mocking glances from all around, the Western reporter remained motionless. He was snickering in his heart: "You idiots, you thought you saw me being embarrassed? In fact, I was already on the third floor! I know how many benefits Bertelsmann has given me.

? If this topic is not completely heated up, how can the book be sold? Anyway, in addition to the red envelopes, there are also news headlines - Eastern historians have raised questions, and the Western historians are systematically falsifying!"

To be honest, who cares about breaking history? A group of experts and professors are fighting on the spot in front of the camera. This is the real fun!
