Is Sima Guang smashing the cylinder fake? Ma Weidu said that the Song Dynasty did not have such a bi

It's not fake, the jars at that time were all called urns, and they all meant the same thing.

Is Sima Guang smashing the cylinder fake? Ma Weidu said that the Song Dynasty did not have such a big tank, is it credible? Not credible, ignorance does not mean that it does not exist.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was also an allusion to "please enter the urn", so there must have been an urn in the Song Dynasty. Sima Guang's smashing of the cylinder is fake, because he is not smashing the cylinder, but the urn.

Sima Guang smashing the cylinder is an allusion, a fable, a bit exaggerated, but in order to tell a truth

This story has been around for a long time. Whether it's correct or not, it's hard to verify.

In ancient times, it should be called an urn, not a jar.

This is not certain, and the evidence adduced to refute Ma Weidu is actually not very convincing.

First of all, the time of Sima Guang's smashing of the cylinder is vague, and the book says that he can listen to and read books at the age of seven, but it is difficult to say that he is not smashing the cylinder and is also seven years old, which is a problem of ambiguity in the literature. Sima Guang's family conditions have been very good for several generations, and the conditions of the children who play with them are not too bad, let's think they are of similar age, so we estimate the average height of modern children at 7 years old. Below this is not much danger (water on the top of the head, the child can cross his feet, jump and so on to breathe), even if it is deeper, the child can reach out to pick up the edge of the tank, if you can't reach the edge of the tank, it is basically very dangerous, a height of the child, if you add another stretch of the hand how much height?

And the examples given by many people who refute Ma Weidu basically fail to exceed this height, let alone consider the height of the outstretched hand. There is a big urn with a pointed bottom (it seems that the depth is not enough to drown a child over seven years old. But whether burning a large urn with a pointed bottom and a large urn can be technically the same thing, it has to be decided by professionals, not that there is a large urn with a pointed bottom to prove that it is no problem to burn a flat-bottomed large urn.

In fact, the above calculation is only based on the minimum standard, that is, seven years old, the tank is filled with water, if the child is older, according to the usual water is not full of consideration, the tank needs to be taller. If the companion who fell into the water is less than seven years old, it is difficult to say, no matter how small it is (but also consider the ability to climb the tank), the eldest child saves the child, then Sima Guang smashed the cylinder without a sense of accomplishment, I saved a child younger than me in the river when I was in elementary school, and others do not think it is rare. In addition, the child who fell into the water was less than seven years old, which did not affect Sima Guang's height estimate, and he did not reach out to pull, but to smash, indicating that the height of the cylinder was beyond his ability to reach out.

Probably not, I've read Sima Guang before.

The allusion of Sima Guang smashing the cylinder is recorded in the official history, indicating that it is a real historical event. But to be more precise, Sima Guang smashed the urn, not the cylinder, because under the technology at that time, the Song Dynasty really couldn't fire such a large water tank, the specific analysis is as follows:

One. Sima Guang smashed the urn, the vat had not yet appeared in the Song Dynasty, and Sima Guang did not have the strength to smash the vat open. Tracing the history of the development of ceramic firing technology in China, there was indeed not enough technology in the Song Dynasty to fire this kind of large vat with a large wide mouth on the top.

Because according to the technology at that time, once the mud tire of the large tank entered the high-temperature firing process, it was easy to cause damage or cracking of the cylinder mouth due to force problems. And this technical problem was gradually solved in the Ming Dynasty, and later developed in the Qing Dynasty, and the vat began to be popularized in the homes of ordinary people.

Judging from these points, what Sima Guang smashed when he was a child was not a jar, but an urn that was often used in rural areas in the past. One is that the structure of this urn is large in the middle and closed at the top, which was relatively easy to fire in the Song Dynasty. The second is that it is also recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty, "the light holds the stone to hit the urn and breaks it", indicating that Sima Guang smashed the urn.

The third is that the thickness of the vat is usually thicker, and it takes a lot of effort for an adult to smash it open, not to mention the seven-year-old Sima Guang, it is unrealistic to smash it open with a stone. It is different if it is an urn, if the wall of the urn is thinner, it is still possible to smash it. And the wide-mouthed cylinder, after falling into it, in addition to smashing it open, there is another way to save it.

However, if you fall into the urn, you will usually be trapped in it because of the narrow head.

Two. The child rescued by Sima Guang was called Shangguan Shangguang, and he also built a Thanksgiving Pavilion for Sima Guang. On the other hand, there are other historical materials that can prove that Sima Guang's smashing of the urn is largely real.

According to historical records, the person who was rescued by Sima Guang was called Shangguan Shangguang, and since this incident, the two families have been friends for generations. And after Shangguan Shangguang grew up, in order to thank Sima Guang for saving his life, he also ordered someone to build a "Thanksgiving Pavilion" in the west of the city at that time.

As for Shangguan Shangguang's identity, there is no definite statement for the time being, some people say that he is engaged in business and is a well-known local rich man. Some people also say that he, like Sima Guang, embarked on the road of official career and became a generation of famous ministers, but this statement is not recorded in the official history.

Sima Guang smashed the cylinder. This is the most widely circulated historical story, let's not investigate whether there is such a real thing, just talk about its educational significance, how many teenagers have been educated over thousands of years, saved people with their own wisdom, and how many teenagers have benefited from it and grown into people who have made a difference. Beyond the role of the story itself, that's enough.

Then investigate the "truth" of the story", completely unnecessary.

It should really exist, since there is historical evidence, there is a possibility of existence, the water tank has existed a long time ago, and now it is slowly fading out of people's field of vision.

Yes, the rescued child later became the prime minister, and he also set up a thanksgiving pavilion for Sima Guang; There was such a large cylinder in the Song Dynasty, and the level of craftsmanship at that time was still very high.

Sima Guang's smashing of the attack cylinder is true, and it is true that it happened in Guangshan, Henan, in the Song Dynasty, from the "History of the Song Dynasty".

The story of Sima Guang smashing the tank refers to Sima Guang's childhood when he was playing with his friends in the backyard, and a child climbed onto the vat and fell into the water in the tank. The other children panicked and didn't know what to do when they saw what was happening. Sima Guang was in a hurry, picked up a big stone from the ground and struck it at the water tank, and the child was saved after the water gushed out.

Since 2008, the Education Bureau of Guangshan County, Henan Province has started the application work, applying for the historical fact that Sima Guang was born in Guangshan to be included in the Chinese textbooks of primary and secondary schools. With the support of the relevant departments and bureaus of the Ministry of Education and the People's Education Publishing House, after two years of careful examination by many experts, the story of Sima Guang smashing the cylinder and Brother Bi were included in the primary school textbook, which also proves the authenticity of the story of Sima Guang smashing the cylinder.

I think it should be, because many things may be made up, but I just want to show that Sima Guang is very smart, when he was young.

What he said is true, and there is no such thing in the historical record, it is just a false thing.

It should be that the incident is real, he is false, and it should be different from the scene described at the time.
