How much history is buried in the hands of historians?
History is interpreted by a large group of people and recorded by only a few people. Historian is a special official position in the history of China. He devoted himself to compiling historical records for dynasties. But even Sima Qian, I'm afraid it's not all "omniscient, omniscient"! After all, historians are not cameras of history, and not all beauty and ugliness can be captured. No matter how honest and frank historians are, they all leave regrets to future generations more or less.

In addition, China has a long history and frequent dynasties, with hundreds of Xia Guang regimes in five thousand years. History is written in the present dynasty, supplemented and deleted in the later dynasty. This round-trip revision will more or less delete some and add some. Although they are all details, in the final analysis, the truth of history is slowly buried in the pen of historians.

Today, we will summarize some historical truths that have been buried by historians. Of course, there is no other meaning, just that it is interesting, and after-dinner entertainment is of great benefit.

1. Zhou Wang and Chopsticks Shang Zhouwang, a famous tyrant in the history of China, is familiar to us. We should be familiar with his favorite concubine da ji. It is said that da ji once fed Shang Zhouwang something. At that time, because the chef had just cooked it, it was too hot, but Zhou Wang still had to eat it. So da ji used his quick wits to pull the Hosta off his head, picked up the food and blew it with his mouth. Soon it was cold and sent to Zhou Wang's mouth. At that time, Zhou Wang was very happy to eat delicious food. So later, da ji ordered people to make two kinds of special Hosta seeds specially for him, which were specially used to pick vegetables for Zhou Wang. Later, this method of picking vegetables spread to the people, so today's chopsticks came into being.

2. Qianlong and Sikuquanshu Qianlong was a famous emperor in the Qing Dynasty. The emperor not only did well, but also wrote poems. Gan Long has become a charming image in people's minds after the rendering of today's film and television dramas. However, Emperor Qianlong was really cultured. When he was in office, he presided over the revision of the famous Sikuquanshu in China. At that time, Emperor Qianlong led more than 300 officials to make a large-scale deletion and revision of the classic books in China 13 years.

This is a great thing of culture, but it's a pity that Qianlong destroyed all articles and ancient books that did not conform to the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and almost destroyed China culture in his hands. Moreover, the literary inquisition in the Qing Dynasty was even more crazy to the extent of abnormal condition during the Qianlong period.

Zhang Fei is actually a handsome boy. The novel Deduction of the Three Kingdoms is not a history book. In fact, Zhang Fei is a handsome guy in the history of China, not a boor like the Three Kingdoms. The real Zhang Fei in history knows calligraphy and draws well, especially good at drawing beautiful pictures.

In addition, it has always been said that ancient Dayu did not enter the government to control water. But in a place called Taisang, Dayu met his wife Tu Shanshi, and they drove without saying a word. Later, Tu Shanshi gave birth to Xia Qi, the first emperor of Xia Dynasty.

4. The descendants of Chongzhen spoke highly of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor protected the country and the king died. However, although Emperor Daming was also fatuous, it was also a fact that the son of heaven protected the country and the king died.

When Li Zicheng went to Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen killed his wife and children and hanged himself in Jingshan Park. But before Li Zicheng went to Beijing, Chongzhen called on his ministers to donate money to attack Li Zicheng. All Chongzhen wants is 1520 silver. However, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty were crying for poverty. After Li Zicheng went to Beijing, under the torture of Li Zicheng, he donated 72 million silver from the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty. What a pit!
