Expose things that few people know in history.

1. Qin Shihuang destroyed the six countries, but did not unify China, because there was a defending country at that time.

Evaluation: Probably Qin Shihuang was too busy in Epang Palace, so forget it.

2. The most powerful minister in the history of China was Yuwen Hu in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. His ruling and opposition period experienced the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, during which he killed three emperors.

Evaluation: Hard life needs no explanation.

3. During the most prosperous Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, there were 8.2 million households in China, which was the highest value in the Tang Dynasty. During the Sui Dynasty, there were 8.9 million households in China. By the end of the Tang Dynasty, all economic indicators had not recovered to the level of the Sui Dynasty. (Sui Shu, old Tang books, new Tang books, etc. )

Evaluation: It turns out that the Tang Dynasty was so bad.

4. In the Song Dynasty, which was criticized as "military weakness" by "mainstream" experts, the winning rate of foreign wars (the scale of operations was more than 10,000 people, excluding unified wars and civil wars) exceeded 70%; The Tang Dynasty, regarded as the most powerful militarily, won less and lost more in foreign wars. I spent eight months reading The Book of the New Tang Dynasty, The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty, The History of Song Dynasty, The History of Liao Dynasty, The History of Jin Dynasty, The History of Yuan Dynasty, The Book of Xixia, The Compilation of the North League of Three Dynasties, The Records of Years Since the Establishment of Yan State, The Compilation of Song Huiji, etc. 70% is fine. )

Evaluation: It turns out that all the history we studied before is a lie.

PS: Due to the wrong ethnic policy of the Tang Dynasty, the land where horses were produced was completely in the hands of barbarians, which led to the fact that the Song Dynasty could only resist the impact of barbarian soldiers in the plain with the flesh and blood of infantry from beginning to end, so the victory of the Song Dynasty was generally a rout rather than a war of annihilation. If the foreign victory rate of the Song Dynasty is below 60% for a period of time, it basically means national subjugation.

5. The average combat load of soldiers in Song Dynasty is 32kg, and the training load is even higher than this value; At present, the training load of the most elite special forces in the United States is less than 15 kg. (Records of years since the establishment of inflammation, the history of the Song Dynasty, compilation of the history of the Song Dynasty, etc. )

Evaluation: Is it human depravity? (physically)

6. During the Yuanfeng period in northern Song Shenzong (1078- 1085), the urbanization rate of China reached an astonishing 30%. In the so-called "kanggan prosperous time" era, this proportion was only 9%; New China only reached this value again in the early 20th century. (Yuanfeng Jiu Yu Lu, long history of Song Dynasty, etc. )

Evaluation: It turns out that history is not always progressive.

7. In the same Yuanfeng period, the annual output of steel in North China reached 6.5438+0.5 million tons; After the industrial revolution, the steel output in Britain reached 76,000 tons in 1788.

Evaluation: It turns out that the Song Dynasty was not as bad as we thought.

8. Throughout the Northern Song Dynasty, China continued to expand its territory until the year before the Jingkang Revolution (1 126). (Long Editor-in-Chief Zi Zhi Tong Jian, Song Yao Yao Compilation, etc. )

Evaluation: It seems that we really misunderstood the Song Dynasty.

9. The "Song Hippo Chef" created by Qin Gui was the common font of official documents throughout the Southern Song Dynasty, although Qin Gui was regarded as a negative model for most of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Evaluation: It seems that China people in Song Dynasty were quite rational.

10. Throughout the Southern Song Dynasty, there was no capital in China, and the level of Lin 'an government was just "walking in" (as the capital).

Evaluation: But in the end, it is no different from Ding.

1 1. The reason why the Southern Song Dynasty was always partial was not that the rulers were unwilling to recover their homeland, but that the voices of civil opposition were too loud. What is even more unexpected is that the public objected because they were worried that Song Ting would increase taxes in Jiangnan after recovering his homeland to support the recovered areas severely damaged by Jurchen.

Evaluation: In fact, human beings are so selfish.

12. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the wages of skilled workers were higher than those of county magistrates. (In the Song Dynasty, the county magistrate was generally third to fourth grade, with an annual salary of more than 400 yuan, at least equivalent to today's 6.5438+0.5 million yuan)

Evaluation: It seems that only developed countries in Europe and America do this now.

13. The most advanced loom in China in the Southern Song Dynasty had more than 1800 moving parts, some of which were beyond the reach of modern looms.

Evaluation: The creativity of China people in the Song Dynasty is really not built.

14. In the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, the population of China (Song Dynasty only) accounted for about 15% of the world population, but the total economic output accounted for more than 75% of the world; Today, the population of China accounts for 2 1% of the world's population, but the total economic output only accounts for 4% of the world.

Evaluation: It can only be said that China is more like China at that time.

15. 1233, when the Song and Mongolian allied forces attacked Caizhou, Meng Gong, a famous Southern Song Dynasty soldier, saved the life of Mongolian general Zhang Rou. Four years later, Zhang Rou's son, Zhang Hongfan, was born. It was this Zhang Hongfan who perished in the Southern Song Dynasty in the Battle of Yashan. (Song history, Yuan history, etc. )

Comment: This reminds me of the story of the farmer and the snake.

16. Qin, a mathematician in the Southern Song Dynasty, discovered the formula for finding the root of a cubic equation with one variable in 1247 at the latest, which was discovered by Europeans more than 400 years later, but this formula is still named after that European in Chinese textbooks. (Nine chapters of mathematics, etc. )

Evaluation: It turns out that our ancestors had everything, but we didn't know it.

17. 13 century, the Mongolian imperial army slaughtered 200 million people, which became the most disgraceful Guinness record in human history. Among them, 60 million people died in China alone. By contrast, the 6 million Jews slaughtered by the Nazis were nothing to each other. (More scattered Mongolian history, Song history, Jin history, etc. )

Evaluation: It turns out that this is "our" and "great" Genghis Khan. People who worship it should wake up quickly!

18. During the Yongle period, a war broke out between the Ming Dynasty and Vietnam. The Ming army claimed 800,000, and the Vietnamese army claimed 7 million. In fact, the total number of troops of both sides adds up to only 300,000. This is undoubtedly the biggest war in China's history. [Note: Vietnam was still the territory of China at that time] (land,) etc. )

Evaluation: Fortunately, both North Korea and Viet Nam are independent from China, otherwise we would be just like today's bonzi.

19. Zheng He's fleet is the largest treasure ship to the west, with a displacement of about 7500 tons.

Evaluation: the displacement is close to the standard of aircraft carrier, which is quite scary.

20. In the history of China, the only emperor who married only one wife appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and he was Zhu Youtang, Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty.

Evaluation: It is indeed an alternative emperor.

2 1. It was not Ma Yinchu who first put forward the family planning theory in China, but the cabinet records in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1573- 1620). The earliest practice of family planning was in the Song Dynasty.

Evaluation: In fact, all theories are hindsight.

22. Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty did not go to court for 28 consecutive years, setting a record for Emperor China. However, during this period, China won all wars at home and abroad.

Evaluation: The so-called "Ming died in Wanli", so that's it.

23. During the 70 years from 1572 "Qin Long Switch" to 1644, when the Ming Dynasty perished,13 of the world's total silver output flooded into China, accounting for about 353 million taels (conservatively estimated, it is now re-estimated at about 500 million taels). Two-thirds of the world's trade is related to China.

Evaluation: the bud of capitalism? This is just a step towards capitalism.

24./kloc-almost all the silver plundered by Spanish colonists in South America in the 6th century finally flowed into China through trade.

Evaluation: Perhaps China indirectly plundered the American people.

25. China studied tanks in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. (Wu Beizhi, etc. )

Evaluation: this is more thunder.

26. 1644 A large-scale plague broke out in northern China, which led to the annihilation of 200,000 Ming troops stationed in Beijing, directly leading to the demise of the Ming Dynasty in Li Zicheng.

Evaluation: Man still can't conquer nature.

27. The longest used title was not Kangxi, but Chongzhen, the last title in the Ming Dynasty, which was used by North Korea for 265 years. ("A Record of the Korean Li Dynasty", etc. )

Evaluation: At that time, Bonzi was quite loyal. I finally understand that evolution doesn't apply to sticks.

28. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the Sikuquanshu was compiled, with a total of 3,457 volumes and 79,070 volumes, and 6,766 volumes and 93,556 volumes were banned.

Comment: I really don't know if this is a book repair or a book destruction.

29. The first Opium War was the result of a vote in the British Parliament, and the party supporting the war won only nine votes.

Evaluation: History is simply "God is rolling the dice", and the so-called historical trends are basically nonsense.

30. After the First Opium War, a batch of firearms sealed for more than 200 years was accidentally discovered in a warehouse in Beijing. These firearms were made in the late Ming Dynasty, and some of them were even more advanced than British equipment.

Evaluation: What have you been doing for so many years? However, this can only be asked by the emperor.

3 1. Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty was very frugal and liked to wear patched clothes, but it cost four or two silver to make a patch.

Comment: This fool deserves it. Serve you right!

32. During the Second Opium War, the Qing army fought against 20,000 British and French allied forces with1.2000, killing more than 30,000 people, while the other side only killed 4 people, but dozens of people died of illness.

Comment: Well, this ...

PS: It's part of my first draft. Welcome to make bricks. All rights reserved. Reprinting is prohibited. This is a story I wrote occasionally for fun in 2007. There were only a few articles. I accidentally turned it out recently, so I improved it and published it. Think about it after reading it. It is good to be inspired a little. Of course, this is just history. I still hope that everyone will focus on the present and strive to reproduce the past glory of our country.

The facts listed in this post are for reference only. After all, I am not a history major. Several students provided a lot of valuable information, and I would like to express my gratitude.

Supplement 1. Hongji, a Taoist priest in Liao Dynasty, wrote poems expressing his regret that he was born in a barbarian land and his desire to be a China (Song) person in the afterlife. Similarly, Song Renzong celebrated six years (1046), and Han Wang and Zhuan Wang also wrote poems to express similar wishes.

Evaluation: In fact, the historical background of Jin Yong's novels is basically the opposite. At that time, Xiao Feng stopped the Liao army from going south and actually saved them.

Supplement 2: The Southern Song Dynasty perished, and Japan came to mourn the demise of the Great Song Dynasty. (History of mind, etc. )

Evaluation: The theory of evolution does not apply to the Japanese.

Supplement 3: In the second year of the Jubilee of the Southern Song Dynasty (1206), the central financial revenue reached 80 million yuan, when the national population was about 70 million. From the Qing Dynasty to the year 1900, it was 80 million taels, but the population was 400 million. The purchasing power of the Southern Song Dynasty 1 was twice that of the late Qing Dynasty. More importantly, the tax rate in Song Dynasty was lower than that in Qing Dynasty.

Evaluation: When our "experts" spared no effort to sing praises for the "prosperous time of Kanggan", did it ever occur to you that there was once a dynasty that was silently criticized by future generations for no reason, and this dynasty whose people's living standard was more than ten times that of the "prosperous time of Kanggan" was "poor and weak" under the shadow of swords freely waved by people?

PS PS: Many people doubt the authenticity of China's historical materials. Indeed, there are many mistakes in many historical materials, but if we compare and analyze several historical materials, many mistakes can be corrected. If we only look at the drafts of Ming and Qing history, the conclusion is naturally that the Ming Dynasty is like a hell on earth and the Qing Dynasty is like a paradise. If we only look at the history of the Yuan Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty is simply infinitely weak.

The reliability of historical materials compiled by dynasties in the history of China is arranged as follows:

Eastern Zhou Dynasty (Spring and Autumn Period+Warring States Period) > Han Dynasty > Song Dynasty > Ming Dynasty > Yuan Dynasty > Tang Dynasty > Qing Dynasty (personal opinion)

LZ can't be completely serious. . . . There is truth and falsehood in this. . .
