Is the history of China a history of cannibalism?
I saw a friend in the group say that "the twenty-four histories of China are a history of killing people and eating people". Another friend said: "The whole history of China in China is a history of dictatorship with a river of blood and a mountain of bones, and no day is truly democratic." . They are not good, but our history is not good. From a genetic point of view, our ancestors had problems with their roots, so it is not surprising that we have problems now. So did Mr. Lu Xun's thoughts at that time. In his novel A Madman's Diary, Mr. Lu Xun put forward a point: feudal ethics is a cannibal ethics. It is not unreasonable to put forward some academic viewpoints in literary works. Moreover, Lu Xun did not deny the history of China, but spoke ill of ethical codes. The ethical code problem is a system problem, and his views are a bit irrelevant. However, it must be noted that what writers talk about in their literary works is mainly fictional and controlled by the writers' own subjective consciousness. It's best not to take the ideas in literary works too seriously. However, some successful literary works, in front of readers, the author's literary views are regarded as academic summaries, and finally the historical truth is distorted by literature, and the original vague past is rearranged, just like some popular historical dramas. The audience regards those things as history. When history dies, power will make faces. Bai Yang promoted Lu Xun's literary view to an academic view in his historical academic work "An Outline of China's History". He said that China had a "cannibal side" in its history. History is neutral, with good and bad, beautiful and ugly, good and evil. Bai Yang promoted Lu Xun's literary viewpoint to an academic viewpoint, which may have dispelled a little prejudice in Bai Yang's character, and there is no problem with the general direction of the topic. However, some people later removed the "one side" from the topic of "historical cannibalism", and "historical cannibalism" and "revolution" were called "historical cannibalism". After re-typesetting, Bai Yang's paper was more revolutionary than Lu Xun and sharper than Bai Yang, which became the most thorough denial of China's history. Behind this kind of behavior is a profound hatred of China's history, and we should get rid of it quickly. Li Zicheng, who was oppressed in the Ming Dynasty, did more, and Hong Xiuquan, who was oppressed in the Qing Dynasty, did more. The historical view of "cannibalism" developed to the extreme: a twenty-four history only wrote the word "cannibalism". All the history of China is the history of emperors and princes. This "historical view" is formed because: first, there are few historical books to read, and it is not allowed to see the whole leopard at a glance. Second, I was poisoned by the history books as a mirror. Lu Xun said that he read like a mirror and had the idea of writing a madman's diary. Mr. Bo also mentioned his viewpoint of "history eats people" in the Outline of China's General History, which originated from Tong Jian. What kind of book is Tong Jian in history? Historical Records and Twenty-four History are famous brands in China's historical works. As a mirror, there are Sima Guang's Zi Tong Zhi Jian and Bi Yuan's Xu Zi Tong Zhi Jian in Qing Dynasty. All those who read Jian may forget that Tong Jian's book is an ancient "internal reference" for ancient historians to compile history and the rise and fall of dynasties for the emperor's reference. It is said that after Zi Tong Zhi Jian was written, the Northern Song Dynasty also imposed administrative restrictions on readers. Later, the dynasty changed. Once the "internal reference" was decrypted, ordinary people enjoyed the clerical service that emperors could enjoy. However, many people who read Sword don't know the political background of this book. They regard the characters in Jane as historical figures, and the events mentioned in Jane as historical events. Finally, based on "Jane", they interpreted the history of China. In Lu Xun's view, what they got was feudal ethics and cannibalism. Get it in Boyang: the cannibal side of history. In some writers who want to change the history and life, the twenty-four histories only write the word "cannibalism", and the history of China is the history of emperors and princes. Later, in the past two hundred years, there were two movements to break capitalism in China. This history of poison is not deep. China's 5,000-year history of civilization is brilliant, in which the characters or events recorded in writing are less than one ten thousandth of the real existence; The culture and philosophy fixed by the theory used by people is less than one tenth of its real existence; The inventions, creations, science and technology recorded by people in words are less than one tenth of their real existence. In the process of 5,000 years of civilization, there must be "cannibalism" or "cannibalism by ethics". But it is absolutely impossible. "Twenty-four histories only write the word cannibalism" and "The history of China is the history of emperors and princes". There are countless books about history, such as As a Mirror, Historical Records and Letters to the Dynasties. History as a Mirror is a political reading for emperors, and it is something that emperors and generals will talk about. But Historical Records pays equal attention to people, current affairs and people's livelihood. There is a legend that emperors and generals will meet, and Sima Qian also recorded Huo Zhi's (economic) annals, astronomical chronicles, geographical chronicles, local chronicles, cultural chronicles, literary and artistic chronicles, etc. So Xanadu wants to tell some bitter friends, or some friends who want to make China people suffer. He wants to talk about something, not the history of China. Xanadu can be said to be the history of China, worthy of any living China people.
