Chapter 429 (1/2)
The meaning of shangzizhen's words is the same as the difference between official history and unofficial history recorded in history.
Official history is based on the biographies of emperors and recorded by court historians, which is different from the unofficial folk history books, that is, the so-called official version.
Official history is not necessarily the truth of history, but it is more reliable and authoritative than unofficial history. After all, it will be influenced by the political situation at that time. It may be realistic about the affairs of the former dynasty, but it is impossible to be completely realistic about the affairs of the current Dynasty. It always has some sense of partiality, and the content may be omitted.
If the content is too ”extreme” in the eyes of the emperor, don't think the book will survive.
Unofficial history generally refers to the history books compiled by private people in ancient times.
It can be seen that the interest of unofficial history is greater than the authenticity, and the entertainment is greater than the seriousness.
Ordinary people in ancient times had to rely on hearsay and their own imagination to describe history because they lacked the necessary way to contact history. This is an irresponsible interpretation of history itself, and it is not impossible to say that it is a blasphemy of history.
The official history is to convince people by reason.
In history, many historians would rather lose their heads than tamper with history according to the ruler's will. This is the value of official history.
For example, the twenty-four histories were written by scholars and experts of the former dynasty on the basis of the overthrow of the former dynasty. There is no need to worry about the rulers of the former dynasty.
What shangzizhen said about the ancient records of the practice world is just like the official history in history, and the kind similar to the master of weapon refining is unofficial history. It is impossible to know its authenticity, which becomes the legend of the practice world.
With these words, Shang Zizhen took Chen Hui and the three of them to Yanwu hall and lecture hall to have a look.
Yanwu hall is very open. There are some wooden piles and wooden people in it.
After entering the lecture hall, on the opposite wall is a hanging picture of the founder of Sanqing Dynasty. Under the hanging picture is a incense table. In front of the incense table is a futon. Directly opposite the futon, which is not far from the entrance, there are ten futons, five in front and five behind.
Obviously, the futon beside the incense table belongs to master shangzizhen, and the ten futons facing him belong to their ten brothers.
When their Master explained to them how to practice Kung Fu, they must have been sitting on a futon.
When they came out of the lecture hall, shangzizhen took them to the houses on the right side. These houses are connected, with five rooms in each side.
”This is where our brothers lived in those days.” Shangzizhen said, ”you can live here.”
Then, Shang Zizhen pointed to an arch on the left side of Yanwu hall and said, ”that's where the laborers live. The houses are relatively small and much more shabby.”
Now that I'm here, I'm going to visit it.
Besides, Chen Hui will live here in the future.
After seeing the house he lived in, shangzizhen took them to see the house where the laborers lived. Then he took them around the main hall and continued to move forward from the rear of the main hall.
Not far behind the house where shangzizhen and his brothers lived, there was a three story wooden building with the words ”Sutra Pavilion” written on it.
However, shangzi didn't take them to the Sutra Pavilion. It can be seen that this should be the place where the ancient books of Qingyang temple are stored.
On the west side of the Sutra Pavilion, far behind the house where the clerks lived, was a place similar to a single courtyard. After taking all the people to the hall, Shang Zizhen said, ”this is the place where my master used to live!”
