Chapter 107 History rolls forward
"The Summer, Shang and Zhou dynasties of China's Five Thousand Years" sold more than 200,000 on the first day.
Such achievements are actually considered bad for a best-selling writer like Qi Yuan.
At present, his sales of "The Wandering Guide to the Galaxy", "Shelf's Detective Collection" and "Astrology and Killing Magic" have exceeded 10 million.
As a best-selling novelist with a level of tens of millions, the sales volume of the new book on the first day was only 200,000 copies.
It's a bit disappointing.
In fact, Qi Yuan was quite satisfied.
This is a 5,000-year history in the previous life, not a real novel, especially the history when the people's wisdom first began. As a novel, there is no dramatic conflict and the tension is very small, so it is not that attractive to readers of popular novels.
With this set of books worth millions of words, the price is more than 300. For ordinary readers, even Qi Yuan’s fans, they are all attracted by fans because of reasoning and science fiction.
Many people are unwilling and uninterested to ask them to spend a lot of money to buy such a book.
However, Qi Yuan was confident that when this series came out to the second part, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the Qin and Han Dynasties, to the Three Kingdoms, to the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms, etc., the dazzling historical truth will surely attract countless readers.
Those who shine in the depths of history, such as the various schools of thought, such as the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, such as the King of Western Chu, such as the suspected time travelers Wang Mang, Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi... and so on.
...
The next morning, Shi Tou finished breakfast and continued to watch "Xia, Shang and Zhou".
After Yao, Shun and Yu, the Xia Dynasty began.
The seventeen masters were passed down in the Xia Dynasty, and they lasted for more than 400 years.
And the method of passing on children was gradually confirmed at this time.
The abdication system changed to a hereditary system.
The last king of the Xia Dynasty was Jie.
He only cares about pleasure and disregards the sufferings of the people, is extremely cruel, stupid and lustful, and is a tyrant for a generation of tyrants.
Seeing this, Shi Tou couldn't help but frown.
Can his country continue to survive such a king?
really!
At the end of the 17th century BC, Shang Tang destroyed Xia!
This is the first dynasty to officially perish under Tang Yuan's writing.
He died in the 471st year of the Xia calendar.
It was passed down from the Shang Dynasty for thirty-one generations and has been in power for more than 600 years.
Around 1300 BC, Pan Geng moved to Yin and established his capital in Yin.
During this period, the Shang Dynasty reached its peak.
Tang Yuan wrote: "The dynasty has gone from prosperity to decline, which is a necessity of history."
When Shi Tou saw this, he couldn't help but nodded. Referring to the true history of China, this is indeed the case.
With the change of annual rings, King Zhou of Shang appeared in the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty!
He launched wars for years and built the Qionggong Yaotai on a large scale, vigorously consuming society's manpower and wealth.
So, King Wu of Zhou joined forces with all tribes to defeat Zhou, and fought all the way to Chaoge.
After the Battle of Muye, King Zhou burned himself to death and the Shang Dynasty was destroyed since then.
The Zhou Dynasty was established.
It was already noon when Shitou saw this.
She took a few deep breaths. Tang Yuan's book was so amazing.
The ups and downs of history spanning thousands of years of historical dimensions, not history, but rather history.
Readers seem to be standing on the edge of the long river of history, watching the turbid waves and turbid waves.
Countless ordinary human natures, under the crushing of age, eventually fell into the few words written by Tang Yuan.
The rings of history roll forward.
It led the readers' gaze and came to the Zhou Dynasty.
Here, the feudal system emerged!
The Zhou Dynasty was founded and the country was established, and the whole world was ruled.
The feudal system is a social system in which the Zhou royal family divided the territory and land to the princes.
Under this system, the land does not completely belong to the Zhou royal family, but to the princes of the fiefdom.
Seeing this, the stone couldn't help but swear!
Then look down, the patriarchal system, the well-field system and the ritual and music system of aristocratic society, every word is like Tang Yuan himself experience it!
The pen is too strong!
The view of history is too terrifying!
The nation described by Tang Yuan has gone from a matriarchal society to a feudal system of feudalism with feudal states and a common rule in the world.
Next, where is the future of this nation?
Where will the long river of five thousand years lead this nation?
The annual rings continue to move forward.
The last king of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King You of Zhou, appeared.
King You of Zhou played the princes with beacons for Bao Si!
So, he was killed.
In 771 BC, King Ping of Zhou moved eastward to Luoyi.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty opens.
"The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, which lasted for five thousand years in China, ended here. If you want to know what happened next, please stay tuned for the next "Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period".
Shitou finally finished reading this book, it was already evening.
She rubbed her sour eyes, unable to hide her excitement, so she quickly clicked on the Hu Douban website and found that Tang Yuan's new book had already received a buzz of praise.
"This book is so awesome! Tang Yuan posted on Weibo that he wanted to build a nation's blood and tears history for five thousand years. I just regarded it as a joke, but if you read it carefully, I can only say that Tang Yuan is really awesome! From myths and legends, Pangu created the world, to Nuwa creating human beings, to Suiren's family drilling wood to make fire, to Cangjie creating characters, to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, to Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, this is completely an epic history of human civilization evolution!"
"That's amazing! A magical work! I want to win five stars!"
"For two days, apart from eating and sleeping, I have been reading this book, and finally finished reading it! The Chinese nation is constantly moving forward in ignorance, from the most primitive matriarchal society to the slave society! The Zhou Dynasty was undoubtedly the pinnacle of slavery. I am very much looking forward to where will this nation and this Central Plains go in the future!"
"The Zhou Dynasty had already developed a ritual and music system, and we look forward to a stronger civilization later on!"
"When will you enter modern society?"
"The plot, writing style, a high-level historical view, humanistic view, and such a top-down grand narrative, Tang Yuan is no longer just a simple best-selling novelist! Everyone has read the final poems on Tang Yuan's book seal. I put my words here. As long as he finishes writing these dynasties, he will be a god!"
"The more I read this book, the more shocked I feel. The torrent of history cleanses my body and mind, and makes me feel shocked. This is not like a story, as if... it is happening in a parallel world, real history."
The reputation of "The Summer, Shang and Zhou dynasties of China's Five Thousand Years" has rapidly fermented, with nearly 10,000 people rated Hu Douban, with a score of up to 9.2 points.
Book friends said word by word that Tang Yuan's book is not a novel, but is better than a novel.
...
September 10.
Somewhere near the suburbs of Xidu.
The crew of "The Truth of Silence" gathered together in a low-key manner.
Chapter completed!
