"Explore the ancient relics of the previous dynasty and discuss the vicissitudes of history. Hello, everyone, welcome to the new season of "Seeking on Ancients". I am the host Xiao Cai.

"This season's search for ancient times not only will we visit and excavate the original sites of various ancient sites, but will also go to major museums across the country to lead everyone to experience the beauty of the antiques that have been around for hundreds or thousands of years, as well as the moving stories hidden behind these antiques.

"What we are going to today is the National Museum located in the capital. Here, what antiques with deep historical charm will be seen? Please follow my steps to reveal their appearance bit by bit."

As a opening remark was finished, the picture quickly turned and entered the National Museum with an antique environment. After a long shot displays the appearance of the largest museums in the country, the lens finally aimed at several beautiful calligraphy and paintings hidden in the glass cabinet, and then the lens quickly focused, not only allowing the pictures and fonts on it to be presented in the clearest form, but also there are close-ups of labels on the glass cabinet - Yue Zhao Ji calligraphy and painting.

A few seconds later, the picture returned to the host's side, and at this time there was an additional man in his fifties, half-thin hair, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses: "I believe that as long as the audience around me who often pays attention to our program, I will definitely recognize him at first. Yes, he is a history scholar of Song and Liao, Professor Mei Ciren and Professor Mei. Let's say hello to the audience and netizens first."

"Hello, audience friends, I am Mei Ciren, I'm very happy to meet you again." Mei Ciren is also an old guest of this show, so she acted casually, smiled and waved her hands.

[To be honest, I have been using wild fruit reading to read books and follow updates recently, changing sources and switching, and pronunciation aloud for many tones, www. Android and Apple are available.]

"If you want to say that the antiques we are going to appreciate and discuss today are these ancient paintings, and this was what Professor Mei suggested to the column team before, but I wonder if these paintings have any special significance?"

"Then I'm going to take the test of Xiao Cai, do you know who Zhao Ji, the author of these calligraphy and paintings, is?"

"Is Zhao Ji, a native of Yue? Haha, although I am not a person who specializes in history, I still know this last emperor of the Song Dynasty. But why is it not written about Song and Zhao Ji, but about Yue?"

"It seems that you are still very familiar with the history of the Song and Liao dynasties and later Yue Dynasty. As for why you write this, it is naturally because these works were written and painted by Zhao Ji after he was taken away from the position of emperor and became the Duke of Song Xian of Yue. Therefore, from a historical perspective, the Song and Zhao Ji can no longer be used to introduce them. The museum staff still did very carefully."

"So that's it, this has increased my knowledge."

"There is another tip for identifying the authentic works of Zhao Ji. After all, in recent years, the calligraphy and painting market has been a popular in the collection industry. Ancient calligraphers and painters like Zhao Ji have had an emperor status, which is even more amazing. That is, his later flower, bird and thin gold calligraphy, we can pay attention to the signature and seal at the bottom. If the above is the one in the world, it must be fake. Because it is a seal that he would only use on the throne of the emperor. In the later period, he can only use the seal or the seal of the Chen Ji. This has always been confused before, so many fake calligraphy and paintings can be identified."

"So that's it. It seems that one day I will be able to use it after I buy his calligraphy and paintings for five million." Xiao Cai said with a smile again.

The Tao also attracted Mei Ciren's laughter.

"Okay, let's get back to the point. Next, I'll ask Professor Mei to tell us the historical stories behind these ancient paintings."

"Okay." After Mei Ciren nodded, the camera cut again, but he had already taken out several calligraphy and paintings from the cabinet. He also put on white gloves. He kept pointing at the calligraphy and paintings, slowly talking about the artistic value of these calligraphy and paintings. After a while, he commented again: "It can be said that these calligraphy and paintings from Zhao Ji's later periods were all extremely high-quality national treasures. Only from these calligraphy and paintings, it can be seen that his artistic attainments had reached the peak at that time.

"And it is said that Zhao Ji's artistic talent is not only in calligraphy and painting, but also in calligraphy and painting. He has made great contributions to the carving of gold and stone, the construction of forest gardens, and even the rhythm and dance. Until now, there are still several ancient dances passed down from him. If only one artist is used to evaluate him, it is an existence that is enough to shine the future generations and make countless descendants look back to him."

"But obviously, he is not just an artist." Xiao Cai said authentically.

"Yes, he is not just an artist. In the early and mid-term, he was also the emperor of a country and the highest decision-maker of the entire country. It can even be said that the emperor is his serious profession, and artists can only be personal hobbies. But he devoted more energy to his hobbies. As for the job of the emperor, it was quite insignificant. Therefore, no matter how many achievements he had in art, at least in history, he would always be stamped with the mark of a fool, and this mark would only be much larger than the title of an artist, and it would be truly infamous for thousands of years."

"Yes, that's why he was forced by his ministers to abdicate the throne when the Song Dynasty was clearly no longer in foreign enemies, and he lived a life of house arrest and claustrophobia from then on." Xiao Cai also said deeply.

"Yes, but it is precisely because of such ups and downs in life that Zhao Ji made a new breakthrough in art. Just like Li Yu, the late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, because his country was destroyed and his family was destroyed, he was a prisoner and wrote many famous poems that had been popular and passed down for thousands of years.

"This is naturally worthy of our appreciation and appreciation in this era. However, if we lived in the era when they ruled and were the people under their rule, we would never hope to have such a king, because such a king would only bring endless suffering to the people of the world. Instead of all ancient people being as lucky as the people of the Song Dynasty, they not only escaped from the invasion of foreign races, but also encountered two consecutive dynasties but did not shed much bloody war."

"What Professor Mei wants to say is probably the two abdications initiated by Yue Taizu and Sun Tu, right?"

Mei Ciren nodded and smiled, "Yes, as long as we mention the late Song Dynasty, it is impossible to bypass Sun Tu. Although he was a minister of the Song Dynasty, he did not just live like other people. Instead, through his own continuous efforts, he not only saved this country, but also saved millions of people in the world."

"Is this a bit exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all. In fact, many of us who study this history have done similar deductions. If there were no heroes like Sun Tu, what would the direction of the history of the Song Dynasty be without the appearance of a hero? As a result, everyone came to a conclusion that in the end, the Liao Kingdom in the north and the Jin people in the north might send troops to invade the south. In that case, the Song Dynasty, which always values ​​culture and neglects military, would not be able to defend their country. The best result is retreating.

Going to the south, relying on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to block the cavalry of the nomadic peoples in the north. But in this way, countless people in the north will suffer..."

The host thought about it carefully and could not help but nodded: "Maybe Professor Mei, what you said is right, but after all, there is no assumption in history. Now, there is always Sun Tu. However, one thing is something that I am not able to understand from netizens. That is, Sun Tu had already taken over the power of the court in the late Song Dynasty. Just like Cao Cao in the late Han Dynasty and Sima family in the late Cao Wei Dynasty, he could completely depose the emperor and replace it himself. Why did he have to do this in one go first, and then become the emperor in a few years and establish the Yue Dynasty?"

"This is where Sun Tu is more wise than Cao Pi and Sima Yan. Let me ask you, what is your first impression when you mention these two people?"

"Well, usurp the throne? A hero?"

"Well, these two words themselves represent that they are not good people in everyone's minds, and this is still the values ​​of the 21st century. We have never said that loyalty to the emperor is a good morality that a person must have. But it was completely different in ancient times. At that time, whether it was scholars or old rural farmers who didn't even know big words, they had the simplest values, that is, they were loyal and treacherous. People like Cao Pi and Sima Yan who usurped their throne would be despised by everyone. Therefore, Cao Wei was quickly usurped by the Sima family decades later, and the Jin Dynasty established by the Sima family had been in constant civil strife early, becoming the most chaotic era in China for five thousand years. The root of all this is that their position was incorrect, which gave future generations the opportunity to imitate."

"This is what is called "the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked?"

"It's almost the same. But Sun Tu is different. It can be said that until today, the evaluation of him in history has always been quite positive. Of course, in addition to the fact that the Yue Dynasty he established did have a long enough national reign and allowed future generations to praise him more, his way of attaining power is also a very important reason."

"Just because he first established Chai Xun as Emperor Rang of Zhou?"

"Yes, although it seems that he does this seem to be a bit unnecessary for people nowadays. Anyway, he is just robbing the throne, but it is completely different at that time. The buffering of the past two years has brought his reputation to the peak again. At the same time, Sun Tu was a Song minister before, so if he took Zhao Ji and replaced him, he would be a traitor. But by the end of the Zhou Dynasty, it was completely different, because the Zhou emperor was the throne he kept, and he had always decided on all matters in the court. Although he was not the emperor, he was similar to the emperor, so the two sides had no status as a monarch and minister, which made it natural for him to accept the abdication of Zhou emperor in the future, and no one would object again."

"So that's it. It seems that Sun Tu is not only a famous general in history, but also a politician."

"That's of course. As the founder of the Yue Dynasty, if Sun Tu is not a politician, who else can afford this title? Moreover, his political wisdom is not only reflected in the seizing the throne, but also in various measures after the founding of the country..." As he spoke, a ray of light flashed through Professor Mei's glasses, as if he had thought of something.
