Chapter 20 Postscript Unintentional PK Yi Zhongtian

Just talk, not joking.Follow the history with the hook, see the truth and make an argument.Mine, between Zhang Dake's "Three Kingdoms and Twelve Emperors", belongs to another type of text that contemporary people interpret the history of the Three Kingdoms, and anyone can comment on it. It took four months, and basically finished writing this book according to personal expectations.The temperature in the main city of Chongqing was as high as 44 degrees Celsius and as low as 6 degrees Celsius.Public and private affairs, friends and friends, several times lead to stop and go.But no matter what, after all, there is no change of course, there is a beginning but no end.

The writer Wang Ji is a friend of mine. He used to study at Wuhan University, and he also had a mentorship with Yi Zhongtian.Hearing that I was writing this book, I was advised on the phone to give up as soon as possible, so as not to waste time.One of the reasons is that Yi Zhongtian was talking about the Three Kingdoms on CCTV's "Hundreds of Lectures", and Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House even bought out the publishing rights at a high price.Second, the "Three Kingdoms fever" has become too "hot", and it will soon cool down, so it is better to find another way.I told him that I have read two of Yi Zhongtian's previous books, and I have also seen his appearance in "Lecture Forum of Hundred Schools" twice.But I am not attached to his tail. Before he tasted the Three Kingdoms, I was already clearing my mind for writing this book.The "fever" created by everyone joining in the fun, of course, will anneal and cool down after the rioting, but I am absolutely confident that I am not joining in the fun, and I absolutely do not believe that the interpretation of the history of the Three Kingdoms will stop because of a certain writing by anyone, so I must keep writing.

Just talk, not joking.Follow the history with the hook, see the truth and make an argument.Mine, between Zhang Dake's "Three Kingdoms and Twelve Emperors", belongs to another type of text that contemporary people interpret the history of the Three Kingdoms, and anyone can comment on it. In mid-September, Wang Ji came to my house, and I showed him the pre-ordered titles of 18 "Crap".When I said my "trap", I was sure I was talking about it, not joking.Every "chat" has a cultural point of view, and my point of view can be seen from the title. Whether others agree with it or not, I see it that way. There are some topics that no one has said like me.He gave up his original opinion, saying that you can continue to write, and strive to also be included in the "Hundreds of Lectures".Then he suggested that when the book is published, it should be publicly marked as PK Yi Zhongtian.

I can understand Wang Ji's creativity, however, I cannot accept his suggestion.To be honest, although Yi Zhongtian has a short relationship with him, I respect his courage and achievement in bringing the Three Kingdoms culture out of his study and to the public, and I don't appreciate some people's criticism of him.I don't compete with him, just because I talk about the Three Kingdoms and his Three Kingdoms, the cultural appeals, narrative methods and stylistic choices are all different.I try my best to follow the history, draw conclusions based on facts, and never confuse "Three Kingdoms" and other historical books with others to talk about people and things.For all quotations, it is better to use the original text in classical Chinese (except for "Three Kingdoms", the source is indicated) rather than rewrite it in modern vernacular.It is not difficult to rewrite, but truncating the beginning and the end, adding words and adding words will inevitably change the flavor and shape, and it is not as good as the original text.Even if there is a gap between individual classical Chinese sentences and modern expressions, it will not be incomprehensible if it is related to the context.The whole text is mainly narrative, supplemented by vertical and horizontal connections, far and near bypasses, analysis and hints interspersed in it, trying to write a series of essays in the style of essays.These are all different from Yi Zhongtian Pin Three Kingdoms, and if they are different, they are not suitable for comparison, and if they are not suitable for comparison, there is no such thing as PK.I don't want PK.I appreciate coexistence.

From Yi Zhongtian, I think of Zhang Dake.He is also a university professor and an expert on the history of the Three Kingdoms. Twenty years ago, Zhang Dake presided over the compilation of "New Selected Works of History", a general textbook for colleges and universities. I wrote a little text as a guest and had contact with him.I hadn't contacted him for 20 years, and suddenly saw his new book "Three Kingdoms and Twelve Emperors" in October this year, and it was like meeting him again.After looking through it, I actually feel that in terms of my grasp of the history of the Three Kingdoms, I am not as "professional" as Zhang Dake, nor as "amateur" as Yi Zhongtian, roughly between Zhang and Yi.If such an analogy is not excessive, then mine is somewhere between "Three Kingdoms and Twelve Emperors", and it can be regarded as another type of text for contemporary people to interpret the history of the Three Kingdoms.

Another type of text has its own advantages and disadvantages, and everything is up to readers to comment.Now that it has been written, I can only be gratified and have no regrets. Any reputation or criticism will be tolerated, and we all seek coexistence.At this moment, I just want to say that I am very nostalgic for the contention of a hundred schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.At that time, hundreds of schools of thought had no air conditioners, computers, high-rise buildings, cars, professional titles, funds, awards, or backers, and no theoretical or authoritative barriers. , all banners, flaunting debates, which contributed to the prosperity of philosophy, history, and literature.I sincerely hope that contemporary China, which has entered the 21st century, will not only be able to reproduce the grand scene of civilization as soon as possible, but also be more beautiful.

It's hard to express my love for the past and the present, so I just use four doggerel lines to conclude my 18 nonsense: Deliberately speaking about the history of the Three Kingdoms, unintentionally PK Yi Zhongtian. Multiculturalism gathers firewood, and seeing it in the future will be passed on later. December 12, 2006 at Tamsui Xuan
