Why should I act on my own when there are others?

Under Lin Cheng's leadership, everyone has gradually learned about the history of various countries.

Under Lin Cheng's influence, Uncle Ding and his companions also began to like these historical treasures.

Under Lin Cheng's influence, everyone began to like historical civilization. They liked this history more and more, because it was not just history, but also the cultural heritage of different eras of mankind.

As time went by, Lin Cheng discovered that everyone's love for historical civilization was not just superficial. They began to conduct in-depth research on the social structure, political system and economic development of various periods.

Therefore, Lin Cheng organized a seminar to let everyone share their unique views on a certain historical period. At the meeting, everyone had a heated discussion, exchanged ideas, and constantly discovered new viewpoints and understandings.

This strong academic atmosphere has infected more and more people, and more and more people have joined the ranks of studying historical civilization. Together they explore the mysteries of ancient civilization and feel the charm of history.

Ding Ye and his friends knew about the influence, but it was all about the motherland. And it was the Qing Dynasty. They only heard about other dynasties and didn't know much.

Lin Cheng looked at them.

"Today I will tell you about the Tang Dynasty in our country!"

"The Tang Dynasty was the most glorious dynasty in Chinese history. At that time, China was strong, economically prosperous, and culturally brilliant, reaching a peak in the history of Chinese feudal society. Its high level of civilization influenced many countries and regions such as Japan and Korea. It was one of the most powerful and advanced countries in the world at that time.

In the early period of the Tang Dynasty, from Emperor Taizong Li Shimin to Emperor Xuanzong Kaiyuan, the country was in a stage of great development, with unprecedented prosperity in terms of economy, politics, military, diplomacy, culture, etc. The "Zhenguan Reign" and "Kaiyuan Prosperity" that appeared during this period constituted the prosperous Tang Dynasty atmosphere that the Chinese nation is proud of. As a result, China's world status was prominent for a time. The Anshi Rebellion that occurred in the late period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang gradually declined the Tang Dynasty. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the emperor had no real power in the economy, politics, and military, which led to the formation of separatist situation. Finally, all parties broke away from the rule of the Tang Dynasty and became their own independent regimes. "

"Although the Tang Dynasty was in decline, if I were asked to choose my favorite empire, I would still choose the Qin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. Do you know why?"

Of course, the crowd didn't understand, because they didn't know these things at all. They just listened to Lin Cheng's words and their blood vessels expanded.

Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Lin Cheng also understood that they liked to listen, but they didn't understand.

"The Qin Dynasty was the first unified feudal dynasty in Chinese history. Qin Shihuang ended the situation of separatist rule by the princes for 2000 years since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and established the first centralized state in Chinese history. The Qin Dynasty set up three dukes and nine ministers at the central level to manage state affairs; abolished the feudal system at the local level and replaced it with the county system; implemented the same writing system, the same wheel gauge, and unified weights and measures. These measures laid the basic pattern of China's political system for more than years and laid the foundation for the rule of China's unified dynasty, so it is said that "all dynasties have followed the Qin political system." The Qin Dynasty had a profound impact on Chinese history. It can be said that without Qin Shihuang, there would be no unified country, let alone a unified Chinese nation. This is also the situation that our country is not like Europe, where there is affection in the blood but no blood in reality."

“So although the Qin Dynasty did not last long in history, its value is not comparable to other dynasties. The reason why I like the Ming Dynasty is because:

Having backbone: The Ming Dynasty is considered to be the most backbone dynasty, adhering to the principle of "the emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies for the country". Even in his last years, Emperor Chongzhen would rather die than surrender. Treating the people well: Zhu Yuanzhang fought his way up from the bottom step by step, and he understood the sufferings of the people best. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty treated the people well, which is one of the reasons why there was always "anti-Qing and restoration of Ming" later. Gaining the country by right: The Ming Dynasty fought step by step by expelling foreign races and overthrowing the rule of the Mongols, rather than relying on inheritance or conspiracy, so it is considered to be a dynasty that gained the country by right. Many talented people: The Ming Dynasty produced many famous civil officials and military generals, such as Wang Yangming, Zheng He, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, etc. Their deeds are admirable.

Interesting characters and stories: There are many ridiculous characters and stories in the Ming Dynasty, such as Jiajing Daoist priest, carpenter emperor Tianqi, Tang Bohu, etc., which add interest to history. "Moreover, the Ming Dynasty also achieved high achievements in science and technology, culture, and economy. For example, important scientific and technological achievements such as gunpowder and compass were invented during the Ming Dynasty, and classic works such as "Yongle Encyclopedia" appeared. In addition, the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty was also very developed, and it established connections with many countries and regions. These are the charm of the Ming Dynasty." Lin Cheng said with emotion.

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, as if he saw the glorious scene of the Ming Dynasty.

"Of course, every dynasty has its advantages and disadvantages. We should look at history objectively, draw lessons from it, and constantly promote social progress," Lin Cheng concluded.

Although the crowd didn't understand much, they all listened with great interest and passion.

In Lin Cheng's opinion, China is not rising now, but is slowly growing back to its own position.

Lin Cheng looked into the distance with a determined gaze, and said slowly: "In the past, China was a country that all nations came to pay tribute to. Now, we are just returning to our roots and recreating our glory."

He turned to face the crowd, and said in an excited voice: "So we must learn from history, work hard, and make China stand at the top of the world again!"

The crowd burst into warm applause, and the faces of the Chinese who understood these words were filled with pride and longing.

Lin Cheng knows that this is just the beginning and there is still a long way to go, but he firmly believes that as long as the Chinese people work together, the revival of China is just around the corner.
