Qin Shihuang (259 BC-2 BC10) was the first unified dynasty in China-the founding emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Zhao, son of Wang Xiang of Qin Zhuang, Han nationality. Qin Shihuang was born in Handan, the capital of Zhao State (now Handan City, Hebei Province). In 247 BC, Wang Zheng, King of Qin, ascended the throne at the age of 13. Because he is young, he is in charge of the Queen Mother and Prime Ministers Lv Buwei and Ai. In 238 BC (the ninth year of the reign of the King of Qin), when Qin Shihuang was 22 years old, he held an adult coronation ceremony of the monarch in the ancient capital Yongcheng, and began to "govern the country personally", getting rid of Lv Buwei, Lao Ai and others, and reusing Lisi and Liao Wei. From 230 BC to 22 BC1year, the six countries of Korea, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan and Qi perished one after another. Xianyang is its capital.
Qin thought that his contribution was better than that of the previous Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and changed the year number unanimously agreed by ministers to "Emperor". Qin Shihuang was the first monarch to use the title of "Emperor" in the history of China, which had a far-reaching influence on China and the world history, and was praised as "the first emperor through the ages" by Li Zhi, a thinker in the Ming Dynasty.

A person who can learn how to do things from history is undoubtedly a smart person who knows how to use history. Because intrigue and utilitarian morality are applied in life, there is no gap between ancient and modern times. The power of history can be transformed into a nutrient, which infiltrates our cultivation and soul and makes it strong. This is a passage on the cover of a book. An ordinary sentence clearly explains the wisdom and true meaning of history to us.
History is a kind of wisdom and a kind of wealth. In the endless history, there are many stories that will remain immortal: Gou Jian was prostrated under the insult of the king of Wu; Liu Bei visited the cottage three times; Dong Fangshuo volunteered because of humiliation, and the State of Yue was able to swallow Wu; It is because of three visits to the cottage that Liu Bei was able to build Shu Han; It is because of his brave recommendation that Dong Fangshuo can contribute his talents and give full play to his strengths. One classic story after another, one wonderful fragment after another, gave future generations a valuable philosophy of life. One by one historical experience.
Using history skillfully is a kind of wisdom. Emperor Taizong encouraged officials to protest, and finally formed chastity rule, because he listened to the advice of evil monarchs who had died through the ages. On the contrary, sailing against the current will bring disaster to yourself. Chen Houzhu, the last emperor of the Southern Dynasties, followed in Shang Zhouwang's footsteps, indulged in debauchery and eventually the country perished.
As the saying goes, "the past is not forgotten, the future is a teacher", which just shows the value of history. On the long road of life, we can't predict the future, let alone run blindly, otherwise we will only get into trouble. But we are not so blank, because we can learn from history, learn from our predecessors and prescribe the right medicine for ourselves.
We can't criticize history because we are not qualified; We can't get rid of history because it is connected with us; We can't edit history because we have no ability. We can only learn from it, use its essence to point out the direction of our life and lay a good brick for our life.

The story of history (4)
According to records, we have been drinking boiled water for more than 4000 years. This article talks about boiled water in Song Dynasty.
Regarding the drinking situation in the northwest and southeast of the Song Dynasty, there is a historical piece in Chicken Rib Roll edited by Zhuang Chuo in the Song Dynasty: the water in the northwest is poisonous, so many people are injured by the thief wind. As for water, cold drinks can do no harm. "Southeast" is the opposite. Even if ordinary people walk on the road, they will drink "boiled water" and lie with their heads facing outwards. Fence wall under eaves, no mud gap. There is no strong wind all the year round.
The concept of "southeast" in the Song Dynasty is similar to that of today. "Northwest" is much smaller than today, including most of Shanxi and Shaanxi today, and some of Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai.
Northwest water is good, drinking raw water is harmless. But "southeast" can't. When people walk on the road, they will also drink "fried water". We call it boiled water, and Song people call it "decocted water". Zhuang Chuo is well informed. He must have been to the northwest and southeast of the Song Dynasty. I think this difference between "Northwest" and "Southeast" is related to the temperature: when the northwest is cold, the activity of microorganisms in the water is relatively small, while when the southeast is hot, it is easy to make people sick.
In a word, there is no doubt that boiled water has been widely consumed in the southeast of Song Dynasty. Regarding the drinking water situation in Kaifengfu area in Song Dynasty, there is also a piece of historical data in Volume I of Dong Zhai Notes by Fan Zhen in Song Dynasty: On the day of Gong Yuan's exam in the central ceremony, there was an incense table in front of the steps, and the examiner and juren worshipped each other. This is an old example of the Tang Dynasty. The exam seats are luxurious, with tents and felt mats, and the supply is abundant. "Tea soup is tea" and "drink pulp" is a drink. It can be seen that the Jinshi exam in the Song Dynasty is still very comfortable. The postgraduate entrance examination scholar has arrived, and the treatment has changed greatly. Tents, felt mats and the like have all been dismantled, and the "tea soup" is gone. "Drink inkstone water when you are thirsty, and everyone is close." When you are thirsty, you can only drink raw water with inkstones, and as a result, everyone's mouths are black. I think it's embarrassing. This is not to make trouble with anyone on purpose, but to prevent derailment. Someone may have been exposed and defended with old examples. Ouyang Xiu has a poem: "Burn incense to the scholars, remove the curtain and wait for life." There are reasons for thinking that etiquette is so different.
This historical data shows that in Kaifeng, if conditions permit, people still like to drink boiled water-tea must be boiled water; Of course, there is no harm in drinking raw water, otherwise it is not just a matter of courtesy to let people drink raw water.
