How do you determine the correctness of the canonical and wild histories?

The official history is written by the victors, so a lot of real things will be concealed, but after all, the official history is an official historical material, and it is a little more credible than the wild history, but the latest cause of Guangxu's death has caused a lot of questions. It can be seen that the canonical history is not 100% correct.

There are elements of imagination and exaggeration in the wild history, but there is no lack of historical facts, and there are deliberately modified and distorted elements in the official history, but it is relatively comprehensive and coherent.

Wild history is more interesting than authentic. Entertaining over seriousness. Ordinary people in ancient times lacked the necessary means to get in touch with history. I had to rely on hearsay and my own imagination to depict history.

Because the official history was written by the imperial court, it was to determine the legal status of its own dynasty, and it was also to maintain its own rule, so the official history was all praised or beneficial to the ruler.

The official history was compiled by the historians of the next dynasty, and was relatively objective and true; Wild history is a folklore with a bizarre and interesting plot, but it is less authentic.

The official history is written for the rulers, and the wild history is the public opinion of the broad masses of the people, and I believe that the will of the people trumps the wisdom and correctness of the rulers personally.

Wild histories are written by folk people, and they also have subjective characteristics. Therefore, in order to understand the truth of history, it is necessary to combine wild history with official history.

Wild history is a record of some rumored (legendary) history in some history, which is not confirmed. Unlike canonical history, it is a proven history.

Wild histories are generally written by private individuals, the style is not standardized and uniform, the materials are relatively random, and there are often absurd speculations. But there are also merits, which can often be used as a supplement to the official history.

Even if the official history is seven points true and three points false, it is difficult to say that the history books of the previous dynasty will not be changed after the change of generations. Just like in our current society, it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Personally, I think that most of the wild histories are pure, and of course not every part of the official history is very reliable.

It's still a highly reliable official history, and it's just fun to read wild history.

First of all, it should be noted that both the official and the wild history are recorded by human beings. If you are human, you will make mistakes, or you will have emotions and opinions, and you will also have the limitations of historical vision. Therefore, regardless of the official history, the identity of the recorder and the era and the background of the era in which the recorder is located are one of the important factors in identifying the authenticity of historical materials.

1. What can be recorded in historical materials are influential, representative, rare, or more meaningful people and things. In the era when information was not yet developed, official records, which occupied more social resources, were undoubtedly more convenient and faster to obtain historical materials than private records. This determines that the canonical history is more accurate than the wild histories.

2. The purpose of the official history is different from that of the wild history. The official history is to record history for the sake of history, and the purpose of wild history is complicated, so the official history is more authoritative than the wild history. (continued).

The official history is a Chinese history book based on the biography of emperors. It was first seen in Liang Ruan Xiaoxu's "Formal History" in the Southern Dynasty. The Book of Sui and the Book of Classics list the historical books of the imperial system, such as the Records of the Historical Records and the Book of the Han Dynasty, which are based on the biographies of the emperors, as the official history, ranking first among the books of the Department of History.

The History of the Ming Dynasty and the Art and Literature Chronicle are also known as the official history in the form of biography and chronicle. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the "Siku Quanshu" determined that the 24 orthodox historical books from the "Historical Records" to the "History of the Ming Dynasty" were the official histories (see the 24th History), and it was determined that those that were not approved by the emperor should not be included. In 1921, the Beiyang warlord ** added the "New Yuan History", which is collectively known as the Twenty-five History.

A history book written by a private historian. Compared with the official history books, the style is different. The earliest famous book of wild history was the 10 volumes of "Taihe Ye History" written by Sha Zhongmu during Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty in China.

Since then, there have been many authors, with the Song and Ming dynasties being the most. Its content is mostly anecdotes, customs of Lu alleys, and secrets of rulers. The official history is the history written by the ruler, of course, it will reflect the will of the ruler or class to a certain extent, no one can be absolutely objective from his own time and class, but the ruler has the most extensive social resources after all; The same is true for the history of the wilderness, as the author of the history of the wilderness, he is also reflecting the will or desire of his own class, and the extent to which the people can understand the whole picture of the event may be regarded as a perspective at most.

Wild history is more entertaining to some extent, like today's gossip news, which is more acceptable to the people, so the people think that wild history seems to be more in line with "their own "human nature", and it is easier to believe that they are still not out of their own era and class.

As far as I can know, the vast majority of historians study history mainly on the official history, supplemented by wild history, and they will collect as much information as possible and make rigorous reasoning and argumentation. Whether it is the official history or the wild history, we must have an attitude as objective as possible, and we cannot disbelieve it just because it is the official history, nor can we believe it because it is the wild history.

One is gold with sand, the other is sand with gold, and you can't let go if you want to find gold.

That depends. Some wild histories are fabricated, and some official histories exaggerate personal achievements.

The official history is the mainstay, supplemented by the wild history, and the combination of the two is more objective.

It is generally believed that it refers to the history books compiled by private people in ancient times, and is different from the history books of the official cultivators. In ancient times, there was a saying that "barnyard officials and wild history", and the barnyard officials were also petty officials who recorded folk customs. "Hanshu Art and Literature Chronicles" quotes Ruchun as saying, "Fine rice is barnyard grass, and the streets talk about it, and even the small words are also very small."

The king wants to know the customs of the lane, so he sets up a barnyard official and makes it say". This kind of record of the style of the alleys, the street talks, and the anecdotes is also called the "history of the barnyard barnyard ", such as the "Compilation of the History of the Barnyard in the Ming Season" praised by Lu Xun many times. The "miscellaneous records" mentioned by Lu Xun are probably "barnyard history" and the like.

Barnyard is a wild grass, and the history of barnyard is actually the history of the wild.

The so-called "wild" has two meanings: first, in contrast to the people in the DPRK, it was made by the opposition people (or the lower class of scholars), and it has not been officially approved, let alone "sanctioned", and even banned by the government, not hidden in the temple and official hall, but circulated in the "wild", of course, some of these books have also been circulated in the official hall and have been officially deleted and changed in the circulation; Second, from the point of view of the opposition between elegance and vulgarity, literature and wildness, it is not artificially overly carved, and it is a primitive historical material, although it seems vulgar, but it has originality and authenticity.

Most of the people and events written in the wild history are real people and events. Liu He's "Travels of the Old Remnant" cloud: "Those who are wild in history can also make up for the shortcomings of history." The name can be entrusted to the false, and the truth is proved by the falsehood. ”

Wild history is not a formal history, wild history is a reflection of the people, and some have no scientific arguments.

It is generally believed to refer to the history books compiled by private families in ancient times.

People of insight have always paid attention to the search for historical truth, but they are skeptical of the official history. Lu Xun has long said: "History is written with the soul of China, indicating the future destiny, just because the decoration is too thick and there is too much nonsense, so it is not easy to find out the details."

Just like the moonlight cast on the berry moss through the dense leaves, only a few broken shadows can be seen. But if you look at the wild history and miscellaneous records, it is easier to understand, because they don't have to put on the shelf of a historian too much. Lu Xun was criticizing the so-called "official history" of ancient China, which obviously did not include those history books that were fabricated for obvious political purposes.

A Concise Course on the History of the Communist Party of the United States (CPB) and the like cannot even see the "little broken shadows", and all of them are just lies that are repeated in a row.

The authors of the wild history miscellaneous records are not as professional as the historians who write the "official history", and the historical materials are not as much as the latter, but they are more free in thinking and have fewer scruples, so they are more able to write the true face of history. Much of Lu Xun's historical knowledge was derived from the miscellaneous records of wild history. For example, I saw the tyranny of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in "Lizhai Xianlu" and "Anlongyi History", and from "Yangzhou Ten Diaries" and "Jiading Massacre of the City", I saw the ** after the Qing soldiers entered the customs.

There are many things that cannot be found in the canonical history.

However, the miscellaneous records of wild history are not completely reliable, and not every book is worth reading. Some authors are bound by orthodoxy, and often "do not speak out", although he has rich experience, he avoids writing about many things, and does not provide more material than the official history; Some people are entangled in certain historical events, write reminiscences, and always like to put gold on their faces, without any spirit of self-criticism, and naturally it is difficult to write the truth of history; There are also those who write only on hearsay, which is easy to spread falsehoods, and there is still a distance from the truth. In this way, in addition to the two names of "official history" and "wild history", we should also distinguish the difference between "letter history" and "pseudo-history".

Although pseudo-history can fake a certain power and become popular for a while, it cannot last long after all, and its falsity will be exposed at a certain time. What we want is the history of faith, that is, the history books that truly record historical events and draw lessons from them. Only this kind of history of faith can be beneficial to our nation-state.

Moreover, history books themselves are also subject to the test of history.

1.Wild history is close to bai secrets and folklore, positive.

The history of du is the official historian's account, and the descendants organize the history of the dao.

2.Wild history generally promotes negative things that are not officially recognized, while official history promotes official positive things.

3.Because the official history is in the hands of the official, it will cover up something. Noshi would exaggerate the facts because he was not responsible.

The history of the wild depends on who wrote it, and it has a lot to do with character, and those with good character are credible, and those with bad character are not credible.

5.Ye Shi said things that he didn't dare to say because of the official history, and some of them were very true. Because the official history has to bear a certain responsibility, most of the time it does not dare to make up nonsense.

6.The combination of official history and wild history, coupled with the law of historical development and some archaeological documents as the basis, is a good way to restore the real history.

The twenty-four histories are the official history, and the other essays and wild records are the wild histories. But this does not mean that the official history is recorded back to the official history, and the wild history is false, and the official history will shield things that threaten the imperial power to a certain extent, but it is still the feasibility of the official history, and it is also recognized by most people. But no one knows what real history is, unless you can really travel through time and space to witness history.

Wild history is like the Kuomintang saying the Communist Party.

The official history is like what the Communist Party itself said.

In fact, there is fiction.

The real one has to look at it all out of the box.

Of course, the angle is different.

The results are different.

Yes, the official history is recorded by the historian according to the historical facts, and the historical books are continued from generation to generation according to the documentary records, while the wild history is nothing more than hearsay, speculation and even rumors, which is completely false and unfounded.

The official history is the historical material left by the official, and the wild history is like a legend, but everything has a source, and who will pass it on without that, just like the wild history said that Guangxu died of syphilis, the official history said that Guangxu died of smallpox, and the emperor died of syphilis, so the official history said that it was smallpox, and that was it.

The official history is compiled by the first organization, and the wild history is generally compiled by local individuals, and the accuracy is not as good as the official history. However, the official history is mostly for the sake of the interests of the people, and will avoid some issues on some issues. That is to say, history that is insignificant to the present is generally true, but it is not necessarily true that it involves interests.

The canonical history is verified and true; Although there are written records of wild history, there is no way to verify it.

The official history was compiled by the imperial court historians, and the wild history was folk, and it was generally impossible to find anyone to say it.

None of them are completely credible.
