According to reports, Chongqing Three Kingdoms Cultural Research Association and other institutions plan to hold an "Academic Seminar to Commemorate the 1800th Anniversary of Liu Bei's Orphan Entrustment" in Fengjie, Chongqing and Chengdu, Sichuan. Some netizens believe that the seminar on commemorating Liu Bei's orphan entrustment lacks practical significance, wastes funds, and cannot produce practical research results.
What standards should be upheld for the commemoration of historical figures?
We will commemorate a two-bomb founder who has worked hard to study, a rice expert who has worked hard, and a soldier who sacrificed his patriotic ideals. It is because their names are well-known, they show noble qualities, their life trajectory has had an impact on real life, and have created a spirit of confidence and self-improvement for our nation.
In short, name, reality and god are indispensable. , compared with , although Liu Bei's reputation for entrusting his orphans is widely spread by the famous work "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it lacks sufficient realistic projection, so it is difficult to resonate with netizens. Relatively speaking, Miluo City announced that it will hold a series of activities "Commemorating the 2300th Anniversary of the Death of Qu Yuan " during the Dragon Boat Festival next year, which is easier to be accepted by the public.
. If netizens don’t buy it, it doesn’t mean that the commemorative event is meaningless. Facing the special resources of "celebrity", the scenery you see inside and outside the bureau is indeed different. It should be noted that this anniversary commemoration event is carried out in the form of an "academic seminar", and it is planned to deeply explore the causes and consequences of the incident of entrusting the orphanage, government construction, economic development, cultural and folk customs, etc. The organizer said that the seminar did not only discuss Liu Bei's entrustment to orphans, but also involved the overall research on the culture of the Three Kingdoms.
"Trivial, boring." This may be the first idea we have seen some hierarchical history research. It is true that "the building of history has been built, and all future generations can do is repair and repair", but for scholars in related fields, every unearth of new materials may mean an important breakthrough; every time they can connect history with reality, learn from history, or it can also be regarded as realizing the discipline ideal of "helping the world".
Whether it is to exchange academics or develop tourism, it is of certain value to ask Liu Bei to hold an "anniversary celebration" for him. But remember, should not regard "celebrity anecdotes" as the omnipotent " Zhuge Liang ", get stuck in the horns of "entrusting the orphan", learn from the " Guan Gong image" that wastes the people and causes money, and equate "exploring deeds" with "promoting political achievements". Liu Xuande The moral character of starting a family with thrift, liberating labor and loving the people, and listening to both sides should also be learned from it. In terms of meeting duration, personnel funding, activity scale, etc., frugality and pragmatism should be advocated to ensure that the entire process is transparent and verifiable.
