if relics could talk

Chapter 195 Unofficial History VS Official History

There are many legends about Li Bai, the most popular ones are probably the imperial concubine serving ink and the wrestler taking off his boots.

When the young Li Bai stepped onto the stage again, his temples were gray, and he was obviously no longer a teenager.

It so happened that Tang Xuanzong and Concubine Yang were accompanied by Gao Lishi and Yang Guozhong to enjoy flowers and have fun at the Chenxiang Pavilion of Xingqing Palace. San Lang issued an order to declare that Li Bai had an audience and came to recite poems to cheer him up.

Even Xuanzong knew that Li Bai was good at wine, and he could write good poems only after drinking to his heart's content.

So he offered a seat to enjoy the wine, but Li Bai was not polite, and drank it as soon as he sat down.

When Tang Xuanzong told Concubine Yang's meaning, Li Bai realized that drinking today was a lie, and it was true that he was ordered to write poems to please Concubine Yang.

So he sat upright, lifted his hem, and showed the shoes that were soiled when he was admiring the flowers just now. Taking advantage of the wine, and with a little courtesy, he saluted Tang Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, forgive me. I have broken the courtesy of a monarch and a minister. Shoes and socks Wet, stained with mud, and failed His Majesty's feast."

So Tang Xuanzong directly rewarded him with a pair of new shoes. When Gao Lishi went, Li Bai was not polite and stretched his legs over.

"I'm tired."

He obviously used alcohol to humiliate Gao Lishi.

But Gao Lishi saw that Xuanzong was very interested, so he could only "condescend" to take off Li Bai's boots.

Afterwards, Li Bai was even more arrogant to the point where he even let the imperial concubine grind him down.

The story ends abruptly here.

Li Bai, who had just finished writing the poem, suddenly fell down.

There is also a wine jar on his left, with a lotus leaf cover on the top.

Li Bai is lying half-lying on the right side of the wine jar, with a long beard in a curly bun, an open chest and belly, a wide robe and big sleeves, holding the altar with his right hand and his knee with his left hand, he is intoxicated with his eyes closed.

The light dimmed again.

At this time, another three-dimensional virtual image of a cultural relic appeared in the sky-a national first-class cultural relic: Song Moxi.

Song Li Bai Drunken Stone Carving Ink Wash, unearthed in Zhangming Town in June 1983.Stone, with a total length of 6 cm and a base width of 19.6 cm.The wine jar is 7.2 cm high and the person is 9.1 cm high.

On the left is a wine jar-shaped water container, covered with a lotus leaf cover, with a gap.On the right is the half-recumbent figure of "Li Bai Drunken", with long beard in a bun, open chest and belly, wide robe and sleeves, holding the altar with his right hand and his knee with his left hand, with a vivid expression.

It is exactly the same as Li Bai who is half lying on the stage at the moment.

The stone carving ink washing has a unique shape, skillful knife skills and clean lines.It has high artistic value and historical research value. It is known as "the earliest statue of Li Bai drunk in China", and it is now collected by Jiangyou Museum.

The drunk Li Bai suddenly said, "I have never let myself go so far."

Gao Lishi came out: "Who insulted my innocence, why did I take off my boots for this person?"

Concubine Yang was even more "wronged".

"A dignified concubine, how could she grind for someone other than Saburo?"

At this time, the lights on the stage were all dimmed, and only the stone sculpture on the virtual image remained.

The commentator in modern attire led the team again.

"Please pay attention to one thing, 'Lishi takes off his boots' and 'Grinding the imperial concubine' are just stories, not history. This story first appeared in "Songchuang Miscellaneous Records" and "Youyang Miscellaneous Zu", but the unofficial history after all It's unofficial history, not authoritative, and there are no relevant records in authoritative historical books such as "Old Book of Tang" and "New Book of Tang"..."

Some viewers raised their hands and asked: "This is the same as "Drunk and the Golden Bough". It's all a joke, right?"

The narrator shook his head and replied: "It's really different. "Drunk and the Golden Branches" is supported by historical data. Such records can be found in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian·224 Volumes."

——Guo Yan tried to argue with Princess Shengping, and said warmly: "You rely on the fact that your father is the son of heaven! My father is not good enough for the son of heaven!" The princess was angry and ran to play.The above said: "This is not what you know. He is so sincere, so that he wants to be the son of heaven. How can your family have evil in the world!" The consolation order returned.When Ziyi heard it, she was imprisoned and treated for crimes.Shang said: "There is an old proverb: 'Don't be stupid or deaf, don't be a writer.' The words of sons and daughters in the boudoir are not enough to listen to!" Zi Yi returned, with dozens of sticks warm.

Zou Han heard some parents around him educating their children: "Did you hear that? Now you know a lot of stories, some are fabricated and false, but some are true. The difference lies in whether there are historical records, understand? "

The child nodded ignorantly: "You can't lie!"

"You have to remember that in the future, you can't take unfounded stories as truth and tell others. Oh, do you remember the idioms that your mother taught you last time?"

The child understood: "I remember! This is called 'hearsay'!"

There is actually this educational effect.

Zou Han nodded involuntarily.

"The story of "Drunken Beating the Golden Branches" is slightly different from the records in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". There is no mention of the plot of "giving Guo Ziyi birthday" in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". Princess Shengping had a quarrel, and the reason was not recorded in detail; the official history did not participate in the empress Daizong; in addition, the official history also mentioned that Guo Ziyi beat Guo Ai with a cane at the end, which was obviously done by Guo Ziyi for Tang Daizong, which is more important than the drama story Reality."

"Although many stories recorded in historical materials are concise and plain, ordinary people can still adapt them vividly. Folktales and historical data stories each have their own missions, but the story about Li Bai behind this cultural relic we see today, It can reflect that, in fact, folk stories can better reflect the thoughts of ordinary people, and can better reflect the common ground of the public. Everyone always feels that a man of temperament like Li Bai should do things like let Gao Lishi take off his boots and Yang Guifei grind , As for whether it really happened, it’s actually not that important, right?”

Yes, not right.

But on the stage, no one else refuted it.

On the contrary, the stone sculpture placed in the glass cover sighed softly.

At this time, Li Bai stood up staggeringly on the stage: "I have never thought of anything related to me, but most of them are things I don't know."

The stories that the parties themselves didn't know were widely circulated, and even confused with the real ones, which made people laugh and cry.

But in this stage play, no one commented on right and wrong.

The things that the cultural relics themselves have witnessed must be much more exciting than the historical materials, and the things recorded in those unofficial histories may not all have happened.

Whether you choose to believe it or not, you are free.

At the end of the play, the commentator suddenly came back with an easter egg: "Ah, but there is one thing to say, whether you believe it or not, a story without historical data support must not be used in the exam! It cannot be scored! "

The audience suddenly roared with laughter.

Li Yiming said with emotion: "I didn't output opinions, but threw out a direction for everyone to discuss, but at the end I made a good reminder in this way, and it can also achieve the effect of interacting with the audience...Tao Le is really amazing ah."
