"What we inherit is the history of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, what we inherit is the character of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the atmosphere of the Tang and Song Dynasties?"
"Okay, okay, this is good, very good, this is how it should be."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he thought about it carefully and immediately laughed happily.
Yes, yes, that's it.
What I inherit is not only the legacy of the Ming Dynasty, but also the legacy of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. What I inherit is the blood of Yan and Huang.
As expected, Liu Jin is still good at flattering others. The other officials only know how to brag about civil and martial arts, but other than that, they have nothing to flatter.
But Liu Jin was different. His flattering skills were completely different. He went straight to his heart.
"Well, what Liu Aiqing said makes sense. What our Ming Dynasty inherits is the history of China for thousands of years, what we inherit is the blood of our descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, and what we inherit is the spirit of self-improvement and pride of our descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties!"
"It is also possible to use the Chinese calendar."
Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction and said, "What do you think, dear friends?"
"Your Majesty, what Liu Gong said is very reasonable. The reason why our Ming Dynasty can achieve today's glory is because we have continued the blood of Yan and Huang, inherited the Chinese civilization, and inherited the spirit of self-improvement of our descendants of Yan and Huang."
"We have the strength of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the openness to all rivers of the Tang and Song Dynasties. We are the best and greatest nation in the world!"
"Using the Chinese calendar to commemorate not only the legitimacy of our Ming Dynasty, but also allows everyone to know the great, glorious and long history of our nation."
"However, I think that the reign names of the previous monarchs are also very important. I think that the Chinese calendar and the reign names can be used together."
Wang Shouren stood up, expressed his agreement, and also supplemented.
"Um!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
"I believe that what Liu Gong and the prince said is true. Our Ming Dynasty is the orthodox of China, inheriting the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang and the spirit of self-improvement!"
Other ministers also spoke in agreement.
This kind of thing, if you say big, it is a big deal, because it is related to the qualitative issue of the Ming Dynasty. If you say small, it is actually a very small matter. It is just that the Chinese calendar will be used more in the future to calculate years. It is not
What a big deal.
Whether it is Liu Jin or Emperor Zhengde, everyone can see that they are willing to accept this Chinese calendar.
Because no matter from which aspect, there are many benefits of using the Chinese calendar.
First of all, it is very convenient to calculate the year. You can just add and subtract directly. At the moment, how many years are there in Wanli, how many years are in Hongzhi, and how many years are in Zhengde.
If you don’t know much about history, it may be difficult to calculate the year sometimes.
Secondly, what Liu Jin said is very reasonable. The Ming Dynasty is not only the Ming Dynasty, it also inherits the history of China, inherits the blood of Yan and Huang, and continues the history of this great nation for thousands of years.
"Since everyone thinks this method is good, we will use the Chinese calendar and the year number to calculate the years in the future. The historians will carefully calculate how many years have passed since the First Emperor established the great unification."
"In addition, we must carefully study the history before the Qin Dynasty, the history of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, formulate a complete Chinese history table, compile a complete Chinese history, and use the Chinese calendar and era names to compile history books."
"If possible, we should write the history of the world and include the history of all parts of the world. After all, this is the era of globalization."
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Zhu Houzhao also issued an order.
"yes!"
When the historians heard this, they all looked excited. Now it was time for a big job. Not only did they have to calculate the historical time, but they also had to compile a complete history book based on the Chinese calendar and era numbers. This was a big job.
ah.
In all dynasties, history compilation has been a very important task.
Every dynasty and every emperor attaches great importance to this. Now Zhu Houzhao has followed the introduction of the Chinese calendar and begun to re-write the history of China for thousands of years.
Historical books in the past are often not coherent and often record a certain dynasty separately. For example, the "Book of Han" records the history of the Han Dynasty alone.
"Zizhi Tongjian" is one of the few historical books that includes many dynasties. Therefore, it has a very high status and has extremely high historical value, allowing future generations to carefully study ancient history and scrutinize many events that occurred in ancient history.
event.
The historians all had a sad face, feeling that something had to be done now, but they were all still happy to do this period. Since ancient times, compiling and writing books, especially the compilation of history books, have been major events.
For very important things, the writer can often leave his name in history.
For example, Sima Qian compiled "Historical Records" and was revered as Taishi Gong by later generations, and "Zizhi Tongjian" edited by Sima Guang also left Sima Guang's name for future generations.
Generally speaking, writing history books in ancient times was a good thing to leave a name in history, and it was something that historians were all vying to do.
Especially the history books ordered by the emperor to be compiled, because they used the power of the imperial court to compile, so they had sufficient funds, and they could also access many materials from various places, etc., so the compiled history was even more authoritative.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
All the ministers also flattered him in unison.
Writing history is a big deal, and it is also very important.
Considering the Ming Dynasty's current strong national power and prosperity, it is indeed time to write history. Not to mention that the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty spent a lot of money to order people to compile the "Yongle Dadian".
The content of the book not only covers history, but also classics, histories, zis, collections, astronomy and geography, yin and yang medicine, Tibetan and Taoist scriptures, drama, agriculture, etc. It can be said that it covers the knowledge wealth of China's thousands of years of history.
Now Emperor Zhengde wants to re-write history books according to Chinese history. This must be an extremely huge project, and it will definitely include thousands of years of Chinese history as well as many aspects of wisdom and knowledge wealth.
Everyone is already very much looking forward to the birth of such a magnificent masterpiece.
The morning session ended quickly.
There was basically nothing going on in the morning for the first time in the new year. However, as usual, Emperor Zhengde still summoned important ministers to the Shangshu room to discuss matters.
"Liu Jin, your proposal on the Chinese calendar is very good."
"This is how our Ming Dynasty should be. What we inherit is the character of the Qin and Han Dynasties. What we inherit is the vast sea of the Tang and Song Dynasties. What we inherit is our thousands of years of Chinese history. We should use the Chinese calendar to calculate it."
In the study room, Zhu Houzhao talked to Liu Jin excitedly.
Then he said to Tong Rui, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue: "You must set aside enough money for compiling the book. Don't be afraid of spending money. This book must be compiled well. If you use the Chinese calendar to compile it, it will be more intuitive.
Knowing the historical heritage of our country, you can also let future generations learn about the huge wealth that our country has accumulated over the past few years."
"We can learn from the Yongle Dadian, which covers many aspects. At the same time, we need to conduct research on a lot of history and record some historical buildings and important places in it."
"Also, the Ming Dynasty now has a vast territory, a vast territory, and many tribes. It should also include the history of each tribe and record the history of various places."
"We must search for relevant records and records in detail, and strive to compile a complete history."
"If possible, I would even write a global history to see what people around the world were doing at the same time. It would be best to have pictures or something."
"After this is compiled, it will be published and spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and even around the world. In the future, our history will be based on this. For example, when studying history in schools, we must based on this history, so we must
Authority must be credible and rigorous.”
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao is very serious and very serious. Although he usually has a playful smile and a carefree look, he must be serious when facing the issue of history.
Since ancient times, historians have been ruthless. In order to objectively and truly record history, many historians have died in the past dynasties. For example, in the case of Cui Zhu's regicide during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he killed several historians one after another, but
Still recorded his regicide.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used coercion and inducement to persuade Sima Qian to write better for him, but Sima Qian refused to obey and wrote whatever he wanted. The historians were still very tough.
After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, everyone immediately looked at each other. This is not just about writing the history of China, but also the history of the world.
"Your Majesty, if you were to write the history of the whole world, it would probably cost a lot, and it would also require a lot of manpower and officials."
Wang Shouren thought for a while and said.
"This money has to be spent, don't save it, history is very important!"
"Now that our Ming Dynasty has this ability and strength, we should do this. Now is not the same as before. The history of the world is also very important."
"For example, the descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties in the Golden State, whether they are of the same species as us, needs to be carefully studied by history, and relevant history books should be written to record and prove this matter.
"
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said very firmly.
Isn’t it just spending money? Now the Ming Dynasty has a lot of money, but it needs manpower. There are so many people in the world who want to be officials. We still have to spend money where it should be spent. The Yongle Emperor was frugal and frugal.
They all have to write "Emperor Yongle".
Can't I easily compile a history book now?
Isn’t it just that the requirements are more and the scope is wider?
"Well, the name of this book is called Huaxia Dadian!"
"Compiling this book is not only about writing our history, but also about the history of the world. Only in this way will it be more in line with our times!"
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and then said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
What else could everyone say, they all said in unison.
