Initially interested in history, it was more curious about historical stories and historical figures. Until I read the History of Ge Jianxiong (Figure 1), I suddenly changed my view of historical figures and changed my awareness of "history".

This small book is not the main work of Mr. Ge Jianxiong. Mr. Ge Jianxiong's expertise is historical geography, but his historical evaluation is very sharp, often with unique creativity, hearty expression, rigorous and thorough demonstration, let us look at it. Some even disruptive opinions broke our inherent cognition at once.

The subtitle of this small book is "Nineteen Films of Chinese History". Selecting nineteen events or characters, focusing on analysis and evaluation, and putting forward a new point of view. There are two deepest impression. One is the historical evaluation of Feng Dao, "Changle Old", and the other is the evaluation of Liang Yuandi, the protagonist of the "Jiangling Burning Book" incident.

"Changle Old" Feng Dao is a well -known historical figure, and it is also a typical opposite. People's general cognition of him is: seller is glory, and milk is a mother. For the glory and wealth of the personal glory, losing shame, losing the minister's festival, in that turmoil, whoever is the king will vote, and change several times. Master, known as "Turkin" and "Elder Changle".

From another perspective, Mr. Ge Jianxiong enumerated a large number of historical facts to demonstrate. The conclusion is that from the perspective of personal private ethics, Feng Dao is a high -level high -level Intellectuals, personal products are far higher than ordinary intellectuals.

Regarding Feng Dao's constant relying on the new master and losing the court festival, Mr. Ge joined the historical environment of the time and put forward different views. He believes that the five generations and ten countries have champion. In such an era, an ordinary intellectual is probably difficult to control the situation. What should I do? Is it pure for the so -called "Qi Festival", retreating the mountain forest and spent a lifetime? Since the environment cannot be changed, it is adaptable to the environment. Under the hands of different masters, Feng Dao has done his best to pay attention to the people's livelihood. He has implemented some useful policies and measures and made corresponding contributions to society.

The evaluation of historical figures is a very complicated thing. In fact, Feng Dao's evaluation has different arguments in history. In the Song Dynasty, he faced a strong enemy in the north. In order to consolidate the regime, unified his mind, and unanimously, he finally defined Feng Dao as a "historical sinner".

Another tragic figure was Emperor Liang Yuan of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Emperor Liang Yuanyi Xiao Yuan did not have his father, Liang Wudi and his elder brother, and Prince Zhao Ming. Emperor Liang Wudi believed in the Buddha, but until now, some temples in the south also worshiped him as a "Buddha". Prince Zhaoming's "Selection" is a milestone in the history of literature.

Emperor Liang Yuan is also a character who learns to be rich and five -cars. He is still a scholar. Guangluo World Books, collected in Jiangling, Beijing.

However, he had a narrow -minded and short -term personality since he was a child. In the struggle of fierce power, he lost his basic humanity, killed innocence, and did a lot of absurd things.

Internal fighting and inside, the layman of the fighting, facing the northern minority regime, he was pressing in the northern minority regime. He responded to the loss, and then made mistakes again. In the end, Jiangling was surrounded by himself, and it was difficult for him to escape.

The most sad thing is that when Emperor Liang Yuan died, he did not reflect on his own problems. Instead, he proposed the absurd "reading useless theory". He thought that he was full of poems, but he could not keep the rivers and mountains. The book was burned!

The harm of "Jiangling Burning Book" to Chinese history and culture far exceeds Qin Shihuang's "Burning Burning Burning Book Confucianism".

Emperor Liang Yuan's "Jiangling Burning Book", with a deep province, let people think about the relationship between character and learning, as well as thinking between "learning" and "use". Mr. Ge's point of view not only changed people's evaluation of historical figures. For historical enthusiasts, it has also further triggered the thinking of "what is history".

His "What is history? "One book (Figure 2) gives the answer: History not only refers to the facts itself, but also a record of consciousness and choice of people in the past. At the same time, it has further triggered people's thinking about historical philosophy.
