How many people have always been interested in history like me, but haven't read many history books?
In my impression, relatively rigorous history books are all "big guys" and are very difficult to bite.
Therefore, for so many years, the result is that you can only watch history-related ** and film and television dramas.
But because many of these works can't be studied, I'm embarrassed to tell people that I know a little bit of history.
Recently, I heard a lot of book friends say that they are reading the book "Zizhi Tongjian Xiong Yi Edition (Third Edition)", so I also took a set with the idea of giving it a try.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I will completely fall into the pit when I see it.
Looking at the title of the book, you will know that this set of books has been published for three editions, and some people describe the process of Mr. Xiong Yi writing this set of books as "a great project to read history", leading everyone to read "Zizhi Tongjian" word by word, which answers many people's confusion about history.
The content of this series of books covers the history of this period of the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty. At this stage, there are many familiar historical events, such as the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings, the Chu and Han struggles for hegemony, the Hongmen banquet, and the farewell concubine of the overlord. The author uses the Xi Xi of modern people to interpret one historical event after another in detail, and after reading it, I really feel very knowledge!
Why did Xiao He and Cao Shen support Liu Bang as Pei Gong?
Xiao He and Cao Shen were originally under Pei County's orders, but later the situation was turbulent, and Pei County's orders intended to get rid of them, so they could only defect to Liu Bang outside the city.
Liu Bang got two right-hand men, and instead of attacking the city immediately, he tied a letter to the arrow and shot it into the city to show the people and help them analyze the situation.
The defeat of Pei County was decided, and the people simply killed him, let Liu Bang enter the city, and supported him as Pei Gong.
At the beginning, Liu Bang was pushed, but Xiao He and Cao Shen also sincerely recommended him.
It's just that Xiao He and Cao Shen didn't really want to be officials, but they weren't sure if Liu Bang could really rebel and fail at that time, they were actually leaving a way back for themselves, if they succeeded, they could climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, if they failed, Liu Bang would be on top of everything, and they could even kill Liu Bang and ask Qin ** for credit.
I have to say that in the face of interests and life and death, everyone considers themselves first.
This is also the reason why I want to understand history, the times are different, but human nature is similar after all, and understanding human nature is very beneficial to my work and life.
Therefore, if you also want to understand history, this set of books is worth reading, the author has profound writing skills, the content is easy to understand, and many historical events that I couldn't understand before can be understood after reading this set of books.
In addition, the binding of this set of books is also very exquisite, the envelope can be opened like a door, and the inner opening of the envelope is the fragment of Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian", which looks both historical and lofty, which is really likeable!
