Is it true that The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is about?

The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is written in the Western Zhou Dynasty (789 B.C.) to the unification of the Six Kingdoms by Qin (221 B.C.), including the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for more than 500 years. The history narrated in "The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" is exactly such an era, and all the stories are in such a context. The facts narrated in it are based on the four historical books "Warring States Policy", "Zuo Chuan", "Chinese" and "Shiji", and the scattered historical stories and biographies of characters are interspersed and arranged in chronological order to become a historical interpretation with a complete structure.

For the sake of a certain principled position, some historians before the Qin and Han dynasties sometimes concealed their narration and evaluation of historical events, and hid their meanings deep in the words they described, without <>

It is difficult for people who must have insight to find out, let alone understand. The popularity of this book is that the reef-like words are brought to light, and everyone knows at a glance, all kinds of right and wrong, good and evil, loyalty, treachery, wisdom and foolishness, all exposed in broad daylight. This is the author's intention in writing this book, and it is also their contribution to posterity.

I remember that it was written that the last king of the Western Zhou Dynasty was called King Zhou You, and he was a mediocre and tyrannical king. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, due to the aggravation of social contradictions, the contradictions within the royal family also expanded, and the chaos made King You of Zhou finally killed by the combined army of Shenhou and Dog Rong after entering the palace, and the heyday of the Zhou Dynasty came to an end. The rule of the Zhou Dynasty declined, the power of the vassal states became stronger and stronger, and the Eastern Zhou society entered a period of great turmoil, and the "Spring and Autumn" period of the princes competing for hegemony in the pre-Qin era of China began.

This was a period of China's transition from slavery to feudalism, and it was also a period of great social, economic, and cultural development<>

The imbalance in the political and economic development of the vassal states has formed a situation in which the vassal states are vying for hegemony, and the "Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons" of the Duke of Qihuan, the Duke of Song Xiang, the Duke of Wen of Jin, the Duke of Qin Mu, and the King of Chuzhuang have emerged. During this period, there were also famous historical figures such as Guan Zhong, Zichan, Cao Di, and Sun Wu, and there were ancient examples such as the "Battle of Chengpu", which was famous for the defeat of the weak over the strong, and there were also the princes and kings of the Yue King Goujian who worked hard to be strong. Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, and Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, are famous in Chinese history, and they were also born in the late Spring and Autumn Period, an era of great social change.

It's basically true, and the "Historical Records" I read recently are basically the same. In my impression, "The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" also spent a little more pen and ink to describe Guiguzi, and mentioned Mozi and poultry slip by the way. ——If you want to understand the hundred schools of thought, I think "The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" is a "must-read".

It is said that the scale of the play is relatively large. There have been many people who have said that such chilling things are put in TV series, and the secret proverbs, ghost-like laughter, and the mysterious chime background ** have left a deep imprint on the visual effects and hearing, and the outline of some idioms and allusions is quite serious, which makes people remember deeply.

There are 2 chapters in "The Eastern Zhou Kingdoms", namely "Spring and Autumn Chapter" and "Warring States Chapter", which came out in 1996 and 1997 respectively, and were published by CCTV.

Television series is a large-scale historical drama with a core production. Sell openly.

This historical TV series was filmed very seriously, the director team carefully collected historical materials, took qualification certificates, integrated historical books, and all the scenes and characters did their best to restore history, and many places were like documentaries.

Therefore, the big feeling of watching this historical TV series is that it seems to have returned to which period, which confirms the moment of time. "Chronicles of the Kingdoms of the Zhou Dynasty in the East".

It is Feng Menglong, the ** family in the late Ming Dynasty.

Author, Qing Dynasty Cai Yuanfang adapted the long historical romance**, written in the Qing Dynasty Qianlong period.

The reasons for the ban on the Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are as follows:

That period of history was in an era of bad etiquette, bad ethics, and positive branches, and the storyline in it was difficult for most people to accept and discern.

Secondly, the storylines in the Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, especially when it comes to state diplomacy and attacks, are mostly full of fraud and blood, which is not conducive to the current development of socialism and Qi Qingzao.

As a history book and policy, the Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is easy to deviate in understanding for people who pretend to have weak history and paranoia.

There are two main reasons why the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Chronicles were banned:

1.Large-scale: The play tells the political struggles and intrigues of various countries in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and its rubber demolition involves a sensitive historical background, with some large-scale shots and sensitive plots, which may be one of the main reasons for being banned.

2.The content is controversial: the play depicts the ghost-like laughter, the mysterious chime background**, etc., which leaves a deep visual and auditory impression, but also causes some controversy, and the outline of some idioms and allusions is also quite serious, which may also be one of the reasons for the ban on Yu Fengbo.

It should be noted that the above information is mainly on the Internet, and the specific reasons may need further official notices and confirmations.

The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty requires a certain knowledge of the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is too long, resulting in the impossibility of having a very clear main plot, so the difficulty of writing the "Chronicles of the Spring and Autumn Kingdoms" is much higher than that of the Three Kingdoms, but why is the Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty not popular?

1. Because of the limited space of "Romance of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", nearly 20 fewer than "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the description of the dynastic period is much longer than that of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the situation in "Romance of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" is more complex and chaotic. The problem with this book is mainly that the characters are too simplistic, and because the plot is intricate, sometimes the reader's negligence will lead to the plot confusion and cannot read the book well.

2. The book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is much better than "Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty". "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is on the premise of respecting the historical process, and carries out large-scale artistic processing of historical figures on historical facts, making its plot more vivid and the portrayal of characters more distinct.

3. The reason why "The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" was not praised was also because it was not rated as one of the four great books in the Ming Dynasty at that time, that is, the four famous works today. But the root of it is because as a romance, the ** should not pay too much attention to the magnificent and complete history, as the so-called greed is not chewy, because the "Eastern Zhou Dynasty Chronicles" spent too much space to describe the entire historical process, neglecting the readability of the romance itself, so it will not be circulated by everyone.

The above is all about why the Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are not popular.

The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which can also be called the Chronicles of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, focuses on historical facts, focuses on the weaknesses of human nature, and talks about the historical situation of 500 years. As for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, half of the plot is made up nonsense, and the other half is excerpted from Chen Shou Lao'er's praise and belittlement of Liu, and even distorted history and wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms focuses on exaggerating the ability of military generals, and blows people who have no real talents, and talks about more than 50 years of warlord infighting. Therefore, these two works are not at the same level at all, such as the former Yuansun talks about the history of human nature in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for more than 500 years, and the latter talks about the history of Chen Shouye in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms for more than 50 years.

So the Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are real history, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are fake**, which one do you say?

Content preview: In order to increase my children's interest in reading and feel the ancient classics of our country, I took the traditional vertical typesetting "Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" published by the People's Literature Publishing House in December 1979 as the blueprint, and rewrote it into an easy-to-understand vernacular version. Although my level is limited, but I have a lot of courage and enough face, if there is anything missing, please criticize and correct.

The Xia Dynasty was the first dynasty in China, followed by the Shang Dynasty, and the Zhou Dynasty was established after King Wu defeated the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty was founded about 800 years ago, making it the longest dynasty in Chinese history. It can be divided into two periods, the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty established the capital near Xi'an, Shaanxi, and moved the capital to the east in Luoyang, Henan Province in the second year, so according to the location of the capital, later generations called this period the Western Zhou and the Eastern Zhou.

The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was divided into two periods, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many disputes and wars, but it was also the period when the most outstanding figures and ideas emerged in the history of our country, which had a far-reaching impact on future generations. At that time, people's minds were active, and it was called "a hundred schools of thought contend, a hundred flowers blooming", forming a Chinese independent ......

I'm interested in history, but it's often a formality. I often buy some historical texts, or even history books, but most of them buy them and turn a few pages and put them away, and then find a lot of reasons for myself not to read them. In that sense, I'm interested in history books, not in their contents.

Occasionally, I will insist on reading the whole book, and "The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" is the most recent one.

There is also a small reason to read this book. Some time ago, my daughter often asked us to tell her stories, and then I searched on the Himalayan app. I was going to find some historical stories suitable for her age, and I accidentally saw "Tang Xiaotuan: The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", and I read it quite a lot, so I decided to give it to my daughter.

She found it interesting after listening to an episode, and then she continued listening. As a result, I listen to it in the morning, before I go to bed at night, and I have to listen to it until I fall asleep. When my daughter listened, I listened to it too, and I heard it once, about the protagonist entering the historical scene of the establishment and narration.

happened to meet the story of Bao Xi's adoptive father, who let the princes of Zhou You's Fenghuo play, pick up Bao Xi from the river. I wanted to verify it from the book at that time, and I found the Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty from my kindle.

From that point on, I made the most of my time on the subway commute and waiting before going to bed. Although it is said to be the vernacular of the Ming Dynasty**, there are many new words and new words in the book, which need to be checked and explained, and my reading speed is relatively slow, so it took about 1 and a half months before and after reading this book.

The history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is more interesting, and the time span is relatively large, with more than 500 years. It mainly talks about what happened in the Spring and Autumn Period and between the countries, and the historical scenes described, the scenes are grand, the relationship between the characters is complex, and the relationship between countries is even more complicated. We can find the sources of allusions, stories, and idioms in daily life in the book.

After reading it once, I feel that I don't understand it deeply enough. Plan to read it again, and when the time comes, have your notes ready, jot them down, and share them as you go.
