China has a long and glorious history, but there does exist a phase known as the "Blank Period", which lasted for 1,500 years and is not recorded in any historical sources. This "blank period" has sparked the curiosity and imagination of countless people, and people have explored this forgotten history in an attempt to find the truth. What happened in these 1,500 years? Below, we'll explore some possible explanations and theories.
The first possible explanation is that historical sources may have been lost or destroyed during this period. Historical disasters, wars, and political turmoil can lead to the loss of historical materials, leaving a "blank period". In addition, cultural disconnections can lead to disruptions in the transmission of information, making it impossible for history to be accurately recorded.
In the absence of historical records, oral transmission and informal forms of recording, such as folklore, ballads, stories and traditional customs, may be a way to preserve historical memory. Although these informal ways of recording are not accurate and systematic, they convey people's perceptions and memories of the past, and help us understand the culture and society of that period.
Political turmoil and alternation of power are not uncommon in history, and they are often accompanied by the falsification and elimination of history. It is possible that during this "blank period", there was a great deal of political upheaval and power struggles, which led to history being shaped and tampered with to suit the needs and interests of the regime at the time.
Another possible explanation is that the 1,500-year period was marked by large-scale cultural and social changes that made the original historical framework and way of recording unable to adapt to the new era. Such changes and evolution may include major changes in social structures, values, economic systems, etc., leading to historical faults and the emergence of "blank periods".
Although we have not yet been able to fully solve the mystery of this "blank period" today, the progress of science and technology and the continuous deepening of historical research are expected to bring us more discoveries and understandings. Through the comprehensive study of archaeology, geology, linguistics and other disciplines, it may be possible to gradually fill this "blank period" and restore that mysterious history.
No matter what happens in the "blank period", as a special period in Chinese history, it is still worthy of our in-depth thinking and **. It may be a fragment of history, but it is also our respect and reverence for the past, and it also reminds us to cherish the achievements of society and civilization in the present.
