History live broadcast: My audience is the ancestors

Chapter 122 Four Great Inventions ()

Su Yue saw that they all discussed the nine tribes, and gained a new understanding of these people's ability to talk about the mountains.

That is, they can chat all the way to Mars!

Although she was speechless, she was still live broadcasting and could only continue: "Okay, okay, who do you think is the most pity among the Three Kingdoms?"

My charming but short-lived ancestor: I think it was Sun Ce. If it were him, the term Jiangdong rat might not have appeared.

Fuling (Guan): This is impossible. In the eyes of Guan Erye, the generals of the Three Kingdoms except Lu Bu are all traitors.

I send my longing to the bright moon: But Sun Ce is the little overlord of Jiangdong! Definitely not like Sun Quan!

I can't sleep at night (Guan): Who knows? I remember he was the one who coined the term "Koto Rat".

Spending the rest of his life in the river and sea: But if Sun Ce had been there, Lü Meng crossing the river in white would not have happened!

My charming and short-lived ancestor: Agreed!

Yinhe: I think it is a pity that Zhuge Liang died before he left the army, which often makes the hero burst into tears!

Jiangnan has been in mist: I think there are regrets everywhere in the Three Kingdoms, but there is no Three Kingdoms without regrets! Defects are also a kind of beauty!

Su Yue looked at them here and sighed, "Okay, now let's take a look at the last masterpiece, that is "Water Margin"!"

"Water Margin" is a novel written in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. It is the first chapter-style novel written in vernacular Chinese in Chinese history.

The book artistically reflects the entire process of the Songjiang Uprising in Chinese history from its occurrence, development to failure by describing the grand story of the Liangshan heroes who resisted oppression, the water-poored Liangshan, and the Song Dynasty's recruitment, and then fought for the Song Dynasty after being recruited, and finally perished. It profoundly reveals the social roots of the uprising, enthusiastically praises the resistance struggle of the uprising heroes and their social ideals, and also specifically reveals the internal historical reasons for the failure of the uprising.

"Water Margin" is one of the four classic Chinese classics. After its publication, it had a huge impact on society and became a model for Chinese novel creation in later generations.

"Water Margin" is one of the earliest chapter novels written in vernacular Chinese in Chinese history. It is widely circulated and popular among the people;

It is also one of the works with epic characteristics in Chinese language and literature, and has a profound impact on narrative literature in China and even East Asia.

I send my thoughts to the bright moon: Who hasn’t thought about eating meat and drinking wine when they were young?
My charming and short-lived ancestor: Agreed! And one hundred and eight generals are really awesome!

Jiang Hai Ji Yu Sheng: Yes, if it weren’t for Song Jiang, a fool like him, so many people might not have died!
Don’t let the old man grow old in the world: Yes, why do we have to recruit him? I even suspect that Song Jiang is an undercover agent of the imperial court!

Wudu refuses: Agree! It's really disgusting!

Su Yue looked at them and said, "Okay, that's it. How can we not listen to "Song of a Hero"?"

The river flows eastward
The stars in the sky join the Beidou

(Hey, check out Beidou)
(The friendship between life and death is a bowl of wine)
If you say let's go, let's go
You have it, I have it all
(Hey hey, it’s all there)
(Through fire and water, you will never look back)
When you see an injustice on the road, let out a roar

Take action when it's time to take action
Traveling through Kyushu like a storm
(When it’s time to take action, take action)
(Going through Kyushu like a storm)
Hi Yi'er
Hi, hi, hi yi'er
(Hi, Yi'er)
(Hey, hey, hey, Yi'er)
When you see an injustice on the road, let out a roar and take action when it’s time to take action.
Traveling through Kyushu like a storm
(Hey hey hey hey hey)
The river flows eastward
The stars in the sky join the Beidou

My charming and short-lived ancestor: comfortable! That is to say, as soon as I heard this song, I couldn’t help but want to sing it.

I send my longing to the bright moon: me too! It’s really brainwashing!

Wan Ning can’t sleep acridine (Guan): Yes, this song is really powerful and nice!

Su Yue looked at them and said, "Okay, now let's take a look at the creative background of "Water Margin"!"

The book "Water Margin" is based on the story of the Songjiang Uprising in the late Northern Song Dynasty. According to "Dongdu Shilue Hou Meng Zhuan": "Jiang led thirty-six men to march across Heshuo, and no one in the tens of thousands of Jingdong's officers and soldiers dared to resist."

According to the "History of the Song Dynasty: The Chronicles of Huizong": "The Huainan pirates Song Jiang and others invaded the Huaiyang army, and sent generals to arrest them. They also invaded Jingdong and Hebei, and entered the Chu and Haizhou boundaries. They ordered Zhang Shu, the governor, to recruit them at night."

"History of the Song Dynasty: Biography of Zhang Shuye": "The Song River started from Heshuo and turned around ten counties. No officers or soldiers dared to attack it.

When the announcement was about to come, the messengers from the uncle's night camp were looking for the target. The thieves approached the sea and robbed more than ten large boats and captured them.

So he recruited a thousand dead soldiers, set up an ambush near the city, and sent out light troops to lure the battle away from the sea. He first hid the strong soldiers by the sea, waited for the soldiers to join up, and set fire to their boats. After hearing this, the thieves had no fighting spirit. His deputy thief, Jiang Naixiang, surrendered. "

In addition, Li Wei's "Outline of Ten Dynasties", Song Dynasty Chen Jun's "Nine Dynasties Chronicles" and Xu Mengxin's "Three Dynasties Beimeng Huibei" also have similar records.

There are also records that Song Jiang participated in the battle of Fangla after surrendering.

From these records, we can know that this rebel army was small in number (but definitely more than 36 people), but it was very powerful in combat and had great influence among the masses. It once posed a certain threat to the Song Dynasty.

The uprising of Song Jiang and others occurred from about the first year of Xuanhe (1119) to the third year of Xuanhe (1121), more than three years before and after.

Storytelling skills flourished in the Song Dynasty, and the stories of Song Jiang and 36 other people circulated among the people were quickly adopted by storytellers as materials for the creation of storybooks. Luo Ye's "Drunkard's Talk" of the Southern Song Dynasty recorded the novels "Green-Faced Beast" and "Flower Monk" and "Martial Walker", which must be the story of Yang Zhi, Lu Zhishen, and Wu Song. In addition, "Stone Sun Li" may also be a story of the Water Margin.

This is the earliest record of the script of "Water Margin".

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Gong Kai wrote "Thirty-Six People Praising Song Jiang and Preface". The preface said: "The events of Song Jiang can be seen in street talks."

He also said that before Gong Kai, there was a painting academy waiting for Li Song, who had painted portraits of Song Jiang and others. But Gong Kai's praise did not tell the story.

The earliest work that tells the story of the Water Margin that we see now is "Xuanhe Suishi of the Great Song Dynasty" (see "Xuanhe Suishi"). It was either from the Yuan Dynasty, or it was an old version of the Song people with additions in the Yuan Dynasty.

Some researchers believe it is the foundation of storytellers.

Su Yue looked at them and said, "Actually, I suddenly had a bold idea. That is, if so many big guys casually become officials under other emperors, how awesome would that be?"
