In "Immortal Insomnia", Zhang Xiaofeng performed a night berth near Fengqiao with rich imagination, which is well known by Zhang Ji's sleepless night. Although Zhang Ji lost the glory of returning to his hometown because of a slight illness, he was remembered by history for his depression and sadness that night and his immortal insomnia. So 1200 years later, the world is still reciting the poems he wrote that night, but no one will remember the grand parade of the champion in red.

Does history have memories? If so, why didn't history remember the first scenic champion, but chose to remember a scholar who fell in Sun Shan? When we look back at history, we can find that history itself has given us a clear answer.

Sima Qian, a historian of the Western Han Dynasty, suffered great physical and mental trauma after being imprisoned. However, he endured humiliation and gave up his love, and with the persistence of "tempering, letting the southeast, the northwest and the north wind blow", he realized the oath of "studying the relationship between heaven and man, making changes from ancient times to modern times, and becoming a family statement". He completed the epic masterpiece Historical Records with vicissitudes of hands, leaving a precious cultural heritage for future generations, which is "the swan song of historians and the blank poem Li Sao". And "a generation of monarchies hurt the silkworm room, and the thousand-year history goes back to Longmen" has also become a story that has been passed down through the ages. The Taishi Gongshu written by him with all his energy, the strength and toughness honed in the shadow of slander and ridicule, is deeply engraved by historical memory.

Thousands of years of feudal system, generations of civilian military commanders followed the order of the Spring and Autumn Period, and how many can be remembered by history? Ruan Ji, one of the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest", has only been an official in Dongping for seven days, and his achievements are like the wind, but he has been excluded everywhere. When he was desperate, he got drunk and cried loudly; He treats people with clear likes and dislikes, and skillfully uses "blue eyes"; He is upright and noble in the troubled times of power and never flatters. His dissolute behavior and straightforward expression are as simple and clear as a baby's naked child, and are clearly recorded in historical memory.

The Wutai Poetry Case relegated Su Shi to the narrow water and soil of Huangzhou. His political opponents snickered at how depressed his unruly soul was and how low his proud head was. One day in March, Su Shi happened to meet a shower on his way to the outskirts of Huangzhou. Facing the sudden wind and rain, he still sang while walking and trudged leisurely in the mud. Yes, he just suffered a political accident. Didn't he also walk out calmly from those cold and heartless eyes locked in his whole body, from the laws of exile in different places, and from the nightmare days that haunted him? Facing the bleak present, how can we not be philosophical and calm? It is this ingenious scene that will never fade in the memory of history.

Flowers bloom and fall, clouds roll and clouds are comfortable, and time is as uninterrupted as running water. The memory of history, like the rich and clear tapping sound of a bronze chime, is enough to cross the 5,000-year history of China. What history remembers is not only the historical records that Sima Qian painstakingly created, but also his strong and tenacious will. There are both Ruan Ji's honest political achievements and his straightforward personality; It is not only Su Shi's Ding Fengbo, but also his philosophical and calm style. Therefore, the choice of historical memory must be profound and wise.
