History rushes forward, leaving behind a splendor. The vast historical books also stand and settle in the wild flow of time, giving people inspiration, giving people deep thoughts, and helping others to clarify their direction.
Precisely because there are countless pearls in the vast history of history, all countries pay great attention to the study of history, and we must learn the five thousand years of history of Chinese civilization and the history of the development of world civilization. Other countries are no exception, for example, the United States also pays great attention to the learning of historical knowledge.
In American history textbooks, only 20 pages were spent to describe Chinese history. If we talk about our country's history, the records of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are more than that little bit.
So, what are the 20 pages written in the American history textbook? It turns out that these 20 pages only describe six figures in my country's history.
Confucian The ancestors of Confucian
Confucian
Confucian's status in the hearts of the Chinese people is no need to be repeated. His influence on China is equivalent to Jesus' status in Western countries.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, rituals collapsed and music were broken, society was turbulent, and society was in a confused chaos. The appearance of Confucius was like a bright star passing by a long dark night, and dawn followed.
As the founder of Confucian school , the idea of benevolent politics he proposed has made monarchs of all dynasties have the direction of being the king; and the educational concepts he proposed such as "teaching according to aptitude" and "teaching without distinction" are out of date today.
As the first person to be recorded in American history textbooks, Confucius was mainly described as an educator and thinker. At that time, Confucius studied and taught, using his thoughts to enlighten the people of the country, echoing the Western Socrates , and jointly promoting the progress of human civilization.
Nowadays, our country's national strength continues to strengthen and cultural output is more powerful. Confucius Institute is spread all over the world, including in the United States, and he is very respected and is willing to let his children study at Confucius Institute. This dazzling oriental pearl is also shining in a foreign country and has become a recognized philosopher by American scholars.
Unify the Six Kingdoms Qin Shihuang
Qin Shihuang's influence on Chinese history is very profound. As the last monarch of Qin State , he was also the first monarch of Qin Dynasty , the first emperor in my country's history, and the founder of the feudal dynasty in China.
He conquered the six kingdoms with his heroic spirit and conquered the Xiongnu ; he abolished the feudals and created the three dukes and nine ministers and the county system; he unified the weights and measures with a rough , built the Great Wall and water conservancy.
The Terracotta Warriors and Horses he ordered to build is a cultural symbol of our country. It is a wisdom manifestation of his heart and his heart, and he does not want innocent people to be buried alive without changing the burial ceremony.
He has ambitions to unify the world and fight for his country; he has wisdom and set a precedent for the Chinese dynasty; he has ideals and eventually becomes the "Eternal Emperor". is such a wise and powerful king. He not only occupies an important position in Chinese history, but also represents the heroics of the United States.
Great Prosperous Emperor Wu of Han
often says that Qin Emperor Wu of Han, with Qin Dynasty First Emperor , naturally, Han Dynasty Wu Emperor is indispensable. If Qin Shihuang unified the world, then Emperor Wu of Han is the unified world that has been strengthened and expanded.
While the Central Plains are constantly developing, the power of the Huns is also growing. Emperor Wu of Han also had his own strategies. He was good at military affairs, fought in all directions from east to west, south and north, expanded his territory, and promoted his national prestige far away.
is in line with internal use of talents, adopts the suggestions of ministers, set up a governor, creates advice, performs favors, promotes the Imperial Academy, and opens the first Silk Road , which greatly promotes the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and also makes indelible contributions to exchanges between countries around the world.
Such a capable emperor is not only a brave stone that stands tall in our hearts, but also a legend that must be mentioned in the eyes of Westerners.
Create a prosperous era Tang Taizong
If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty further expanded his territory on the basis of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, then Tang Dynasty Taizong brought Chinese civilization into the center of world civilization.
As the second monarch of the Tang Dynasty, Taizong was the key to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. He showed great talent since he was a child. In military terms, he followed his father to fight everywhere, destroy the Sui and establish the Tang Dynasty; in economic terms, he put the people first, worked hard to govern, and was light on taxes and promoted frugality; in politics, he was good at accepting advice, knew people well and was good at responsibilities; in culture, he was open and active, and the messengers communicated with each other.
, in this way, gradually strengthened the Tang Dynasty's strength and created the prosperous era of Zhenguan. Herders from all directions came to surrender, expanding the territory of the Central Plains dynasty to Central Asia. Chang'an also became the center of world civilization. The prosperous era of Zhenguan is worthy of this name. Whether at home or abroad, it is a representative of the prosperous era.
only empress Wu Zetian
Wu Zetian was a talented person during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Zhaoyi during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, later became the queen. After Emperor Gaozong passed away, he became the first queen of China with her wisdom. She was born in a family of heroes, with a wealthy family and knowledgeable experience.
Entering the palace at the age of fourteen, she was deeply loved by Taizong after entering the palace. Fortunately, she was taught, which increased her knowledge and broadened her horizons. After Emperor Taizong passed away, he was named Zhaoyi by Emperor Gaozong.
Later, she became the queen step by step with her strategy. When Emperor Gaozong was ill, Wu Zetian began to handle government affairs on his behalf. Although she was opposed by the ministers, she gradually resolved it. After Emperor Gaozong's death, she gradually took charge of politics and eventually became the emperor and became the first female emperor.
During her reign, she appointed virtuous people and worked hard to protect the farming season, and basically maintained the Zhenguan momentum. Under her rule, the Tang Dynasty was in harmony with the people and maintained a strong momentum.
A weak woman became a queen of a generation, which is rare in world history and has a profound impact on future generations, constantly inspiring women who have been pursuing them.
Seven national style Zheng He
Zheng He was originally an eunuch around Chengzu of Ming Dynasty. His original name was Ma He and he was given the surname of Chengzu. Zheng He grew up with Chengzu since childhood and fought with Chengzu everywhere. Chengzu knew him very well, especially after Jingnan Battle , he had a deeper understanding of his knowledge, talents, character and morality.
However, although he understands military tactics and has strategies, there are some differences from the above five recorded characters. He was neither a famous thinker, educator or politician nor a different emperor and monarch. Most of his experience in voyage to foreign countries was similar to that of the American sailing spirit.
Zheng He's voyage to the West was earlier than Columbus , about 40 or 50 years earlier. He can be said to be the first person in history to sail, and his voyage to the West was the largest in history in the entire world.
The time and region he experienced at sea also shows that he is a person with a very exploratory spirit, which is similar to the heroism advocated by the United States.
Just imagine that he is just a little eunuch around Chengzu. Although he has had some war experiences, the overseas situation is completely blind spot for Ming Dynasty people. He is very courageous to go out for diplomacy many times and plays a great role in opening up exchanges with the Gentiles.
These are the six Chinese figures recorded in American history textbooks. They have different identities, but they are all shining among the bright stars of Chinese civilization.
is just that the number of heroes in the vast China is far more than this, but it also shows that the prosperity of China has been seen by the world since ancient times. , these figures left in the long river of history, that are remembered by future generations, are still the deepest cultural confidence of Greater China today.
