"Zizhi Tongjian", a far-reaching historical classic, has always been known as the book of emperors. How should we read it? Under the leadership of Xiong Yi, let's walk into it and appreciate the charm of history.
The "Zizhi Tongjian: Xiong Yi Edition" series of books is produced by Get. The content of the first two volumes ended a complete history of the Warring States Period, and under the leadership of Xiong Yi, we saw how Qin Shi Huang created an unprecedented empire of counties and counties, and how he pushed the political structure of centralized power to an unprecedented height.
The third volume of "Zizhi Tongjian: Xiong Yi Edition" still follows Xiong Yi's interpretation and enters the history of the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.
"The charm of history is precisely that between prudence and open-mindedness, between subjectivity and objectivity, between words and imagination, between blood and transcendence, between science and poetry. ”A number of powerful historical figures: Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, Li Si, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Han Xin, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, ......
A series of familiar historical events are overwhelming: Chen Sheng, Wu Guang uprising, Chu and Han hegemony, Hongmen banquet, overlord farewell concubine ......
The historical truths that need to be pursued urgently are waiting for you to explore one by one: how did Chen Sheng fail? How did the murderous Hongmen Feast happen? How did the problem of foreign relatives interfering in politics in the Han Dynasty come about......
Understand the occurrence of history, understand the development of history, and finally learn to use historical thinking.
"Its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also great."The Great Qin Empire collapsed at its peak, and it lasted only 14 years.
Teacher Xiong Yi's first thought: What did Hu Hai inherit from Qin Shi Huang?
There is metabolism in the world, and the exchanges become ancient and modern", so that the protagonist on the stage has changed from the first emperor Yingzheng to the second emperor Hu Hai. Hu Hai's succession was obtained by Zhao Gao and his joint conspiracy, after all, it was not so justifiable. So what is the reason for the collapse of the Qin Dynasty?
Hu Hai inherited five inheritances:
First, the vast territory.
Second, a mature centralized system.
The third is the concept of governing the country by Legalism in an all-round way.
Fourth, a bureaucratic system of bureaucracy.
Fifth, about nineteen brothers.
Of these five regrets, the first to be classified as an inferior inheritance is about nineteen brothers, so must the other four be high-quality inheritances?
This kind of interpretation is very interesting, Mr. Xiong Yi's interpretation is not limited to history itself, but from it comes out of the multi-dimensional and three-dimensional analysis of society and culture, and strives to interpret the big historical view of modern people.
Well, if you are someone who loves history. You might as well follow Mr. Xiong Yi into "Zizhi Tongjian".
