Chapter 160 Read once to understand history, read twice to awaken life

Text/Anonymous (reader) As a fan of Li Si since preschool, I always want to express my feelings for Cao San's book with expressions such as "tears fly and pour rain", which can only be realized on QQ.When writing or mentioning Li Si's novels, I dare not say that I have "read" many novels, but I have indeed "scanned" many, famous and unknown, by male and female authors. Unfortunately, as far as I can see, Li Si is either a political Symbols or historical symbols, or a young talent with no new ideas, a maid from the Qin Palace or a girl from Teacher Xun's family popping up from time to time, maybe it will become the object of conflict between Han Fei and Li Si brothers.In the works that mainly describe the death of Li Si, when Zhao Gao appeared on the stage, Li Si would transform into a loyal minister of Qin State and the object of a great injustice case.With all these things, for a fan, it is better to close your eyes and listen, and make spiritual food yourself.

When I was collecting information and thinking about how many years and from what angle to carry out this project, I accidentally saw Cao San's serialization on Tianya.This topic is very clichéd, and the beginning of Li Si's story, the hamster toilet rat debate, is really not very good-looking, so I think this is a boring political novel, nothing more than selling money through the trip of the ancients. Black private goods.I didn’t watch it any more, and later because I saw it from the middle by chance, it was really amazing and stunning, but if I didn’t look at it, I couldn’t control it when I saw it. At once.Writing essays is like climbing a mountain, and reading essays is like pouring water. After flipping through N posts in a moment, I floated away in a state of disappointment. Looking back, that article is in a dimly lit place", but Cao San's article is not famous all over the world, but it is somewhat famous, so it can't be regarded as "dimly lit".

Li Si is not a good person (the meaning of a good person here is as you first feel, of course it is not a good person who is a good person card), even if you are a die-hard fan of Li Si, as long as you have a little understanding of him, you will not call out "history" I wronged Li Si" and other stupid words.However, there is a huge difference between a good person and a bad person, a villain or even a bad symbol or a villain symbol. In writing, the latter is easier, more opportunistic, and less brain-intensive. In fact, I don't care what kind of person an author makes Li Si into, as long as he doesn't take it for granted, as long as he doesn't create something out of nothing, what kind of person he understands Li Si as, that's his freedom.I have read too many evaluation articles since I was a child, and I have turned a deaf ear to the harshness of the scolding, but the praise will make me alert-what is this person's standpoint to speak against the mainstream and say good things about Li Si?The advantage of liking a person who is absolutely advertised or countered by non-mainstream is that you can easily find your own understanding without being limited by some stereotypes or moral evaluations for a long time.For example, if I want to know who Cao Cao is, I have to put in a lot of effort to get rid of those prejudices one by one and restore it from historical materials and his own remarks.

However, Li Si more or less belonged to the group that the mainstream counter-flagged.I always feel that there is a reason why I liked him when I was so young, that is, I could not understand the right and wrong evaluation of the official argument at that time, and I only got to know him from the introduction of his deeds.It's also true that I didn't have any moral feelings about him for a long time, I just liked this person.For a long time, chasing fame and fortune has become one of the most powerful arguments against Li Si's character, and the analogy between the hamster and the toilet rat has undoubtedly entered his character into the next book.At a time when the desire for fame and fortune has become the main theme of values, and now that all kinds of officialdom guides and tricks tutorials are grandly placed on the new desks of major bookstores, the evaluation of Li Si certainly cannot be said to be overturned. Just turn over, but in the minds of people who know a little about history, he is like many guys who have been "nailed to the pillar of shame in history", in fact, he might as well put him down to breathe.

Sun Liqun, a professor at Nankai University, lectured on Li Si in the forum of Baijia, but he used the critical values ​​many years ago. As an old fan, I have long been used to it (and I am still moved to tears when I hear those familiar histories, almost crying I just watched the last two episodes), but Cao San wrote an article specially for this to question Professor Sun, is Li Si really so bad?I really appreciate him for this, not because Li Si looks a little bit better in his writing, but because he said "the male number one can't be too bad", and he said "after writing for so long, I have feelings without passion "No matter what the moral evaluation is, a character worthy of writing should always have some charm. Since there is some charm, as an author, he should work hard to promote it, instead of being vitriolic and doing his best to show himself He despises skills and pleases readers' dark favor.When writing history, some authors always like to look at the ocean with cold eyes and comment. After reading the whole book, I feel that the most brilliant person is not the protagonist or the villain BOSS, but the author himself.Although Cao San made a lot of comments in this book, and even often digressed, the characters are still characters. He respects and is humble to the characters he wants to represent. (It can be seen that all women are excluded, well, but forget it, the more people who keep talking about women, the more the theory is divorced from reality, and imagination overwhelms reality. So it is right that Gu Long's girlfriend does not come to see him, Only when my brain is flooded will I come to see him)

Different from the superficially relaxed and ridiculed, Cao San is always serious, not only because the occasional tone can be called a classical lyrical fragment, but also because, despite the exaggeration of the narrative modification, in the discussion and analysis, especially the big When discussing and analyzing Duan Duan, he is always calm and serious. While expressing his views, he also conveys such a message to readers: These are what I believe, and now I will tell you.Rather than the complacent "it's actually like this, how about it, now you know?" As I write this, I'm thinking, maybe what made me like this book in the end is not the rich and broad knowledge, not the beautiful The fluent writing style, but the author's serious and plain attitude.

What is commendable is that in this book titled "Bleeding Official Career", he does not talk about power struggles as often imagined, and enjoys it.To be more precise, there are quite a few people who are fond of talking about, but they are not the author, not even Li Si.The more intelligent a person is, the more seriously he devotes himself to and treats his professional life, the less he will use the environment in which he lives and the means he relies on to make a living as something to show off and talk about. When I read online articles, I always keep my eyes open and don't read too much into it.In this era, as long as you can surf the Internet and type, you can write a book, and then a large number of works with unhealthy views emerge.Typos, full of nonsense, you decide to click the little red cross after a second glance, and the seemingly upright and substantial text often finds out that there is something wrong with it later (this is the so-called land mine), and I liked this movie at the beginning However, because of the title of "Blooded Official Career", I still didn't feel relieved about it, so I just browsed it in general.Until you see the following paragraph:

"In the 19th century, the British Prime Minister Pascal Meton once said: 'The British Empire has no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.' Mother, animals are like this, so human beings who are known as the spirits of all things, can't they have a higher spiritual realm?" It is undeniable that such a passage appears in an article that seems to be selling tricks, which is actually a bit weird.But it is also this passage that made me finally accept this article with peace of mind.I like Li Si but I don't agree with many of his personality, so as a book about Li Si, what I can't accept more than scolding him is to affirm (I think) things that should not be affirmed at all.Even if this is not the best era but the worst era, when the sky is broken, the earth's axis is broken, human reason is destroyed, rituals and music are destroyed, Taoism is destroyed, people always have the right to do what they can't do, right? .Perhaps it is a wise choice to put this passage here, at least some people will inadvertently miss it when they care about power.It's better than speaking out in a serious manner, only to be buried in a pile of ridicule and bricks.

Don't pay attention to the exaggerated words on the cover of "read once to understand history and read twice to awaken life", don't pay attention to the non-technical nonsense recommendations on the back cover, don't pay attention to the big and small titles of Huang Yi's style and advertising language mode, and don't even pay attention to " Bleeding Official Career" is an uninspired and tasteless title party title.The value of this book does not exist because of these things, nor is it changed by ignoring them.The real joy of reading does not come from these exaggerated and empty hints, but from the appreciation and taste of the text itself.And this book, in terms of content, writing style, and writing attitude, is worthy of appreciation and taste from the heart.

(In the end, I also became so serious...)
