After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

In the 5,000-year history of China, the most prosperous eras were the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties.

The most talked-about dynasties are the Tang and Song dynasties, because the two most prosperous periods in history, the "Kaiyuan Period" and the "Shaosheng Period", took place in these two dynasties.

"...the situation at the beginning of the Song Dynasty was one of emphasizing civil affairs over military affairs, and this situation continued to intensify over the next hundred years."

"According to the laws of historical development and the Song Dynasty's momentum of 'the laws of our ancestors cannot be changed,' this pattern will continue until the dynasty collapses."

"But as the old saying goes: Heaven sends a mighty man to the Song Dynasty, to create the world, to sweep away all the heroes, to usher in the prosperous era of the Song Dynasty, and to create a legacy that will last for all time!"

"Today we are going to tell the story of Han Ming, the Prince of Guangyang, the most powerful man in the Song Dynasty."

"He's a ruthless figure who emerged from nowhere, slamming hard on the brakes of the Song Dynasty car, completely turning it in the other direction!"

"You have to know that according to the Spring and Autumn style of historical writing, it is difficult for anyone to have a record close to that of a book."

"Before this powerful Song Dynasty figure, the longest biography was Sima Qian's 'Records of the First Emperor of Qin,' which had over 1.3 words, and the shortest was 'Biography of Sima Rangju,' which had only about 700 words."

"The original version of 'The Chronicle of the Prince of Guangyang' is said to have 3.6 characters. After being effectively edited during the mid-to-late Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, by the early years of the Republic of China, the number of characters was roughly , which is twice as many as 'The Chronicle of the First Emperor of Qin'."

"It's clear that this ruthless man's experience is legendary. Today, we will delve into the story of Han Ming, who lived a thousand years ago and was known as the greatest prime minister of the Song Dynasty..."

As the lecturer's rhythmic opening remarks began, all the students withdrew their thoughts and gazes, and stopped secretly playing with their phones under the desks.

"Hey, this guy sounds pretty awesome, huh?"

A young man with a crew cut touched his nose, nudged the fat boy next to him with his arm and asked.

"Huh? Dude, you've never heard of this guy? Are you a history major?!"

The little fat man looked up at the somewhat unfamiliar young man with a puzzled look in his eyes.

not good!

The young man with a crew cut looked tense and immediately shut up. He was indeed not a professional in this field, but his girlfriend was.

He had nothing to do today, so he accompanied his girlfriend to class. However, he didn't dare to disturb her too much, so he sat near the back row and listened to the class.

However, after the lecturer's preparation, his expression became much more serious. He listened all the way through and couldn't help but ask a question, but he was discovered.

“Uh(⊙o⊙)…”

Seeing the young man with a crew cut like this, the fat boy immediately understood.

"You're here to accompany your partner. Don't worry, there are many people from other majors here who are here to accompany their partners. It's hard to find a job with a history major now, and the courses are a bit boring. There are not many people, and the lecturers don't pay much attention."

"But there are quite a few people here today. It seems like they are all here to see 'Father Song'."

The little fat boy laughed and opened the book.

In the eyes of the young man with a crew cut, the book was incredibly clean from front to back, except for this page, which was almost patinated from being rubbed.

"This is the brief introduction of Han Ming, the father of the Song Dynasty, which I will be discussing today. You can take a look at it. If you are interested, we can discuss it together."

The fat boy pushed the book toward the young man and then watched the lecturer begin to talk.

"Don't you have to look?"

The young man asked with some doubt.

"Don't worry, I've remembered everything about this great man. He's a truly monumental figure who can't be avoided in the history of the Song Dynasty."

"People who read the history of the Song Dynasty come for 'him'. If you understand 'him', you can understand the laws of historical development after the Song Dynasty, including the Ming Dynasty, the Republic of China, and the new China."

"This is also the first person after Overlord Xiang Yu who is not an emperor but is honored to be included in this chronicle."

"Brother, no matter what your major is, you can gain insights from him."

The fat boy patted the young man's shoulder and gave him a mysterious smile.

As he listened to the other party's words, the shock in the young man's eyes increased instead of diminishing, and he immediately lowered his head to read every word.

"Han Ming, courtesy name Jingyuan, born in the 16th century AD..."

As the lecturer continued his lecture, everyone looked at him intently, or rather, the 'legend' he was talking about.

For a moment, the whole classroom fell into silence, but the passionate story will never end, it will only continue to be passed on.

"Twenty-nine years passed in the blink of an eye, and this king of a different surname, prime minister of the Song Dynasty, led this ailing nation into an era of prosperity."

"It also completely embodies the third term for contemporary Chinese people - Song people."

"This is a name that is well-known both at home and abroad, following the mainstream Han people and Tang people. In many foreign countries, there are Song people's streets."

"Most importantly, from Europe in the west to America in the east, there are traces of the Song people and statues of this great Song minister!"

"During the Shaosheng era, the Song Dynasty, with its unrivaled Chinese confidence, promoted economic and cultural exchanges between the East and the West."

"It also triggered large-scale ethnic migrations, changing the ethnic distribution in the interior of Asia and Europe, and had a profound impact on the subsequent historical development of various countries in Europe and Asia."

"If you have the opportunity to visit Europe and the United States, you will find that many people have traces of the Song Dynasty in their genetic lineage or appearance."

"The Song Dynasty used the feudal system to greatly expand its territory in Europe and Asia."

"At its peak, there was a so-called world island unified across the Eurasian continent, with one suzerain state (Song) and four Han states as vassal states!"

"The happiness that Bianjing offers is unmatched by any other city in the world. People living there believe they are in heaven!"

"This sentence comes from the travelogue written by Marco Polo, an international friend who visited during the Song Dynasty. It describes the scene of Dongjingfu, the capital of the Song Dynasty at that time."

"The coming of all nations was never a dream; it happened in reality."

"My dear students, the mighty legacy of the Tang and Song dynasties is always with us. As long as we observe carefully, it is always there."

"..."

The lecturer passionately talked about the far-reaching influence brought by the "Shaosheng Prosperous Era".

"Damn, I'm getting a little excited!"

The young man with a crew cut looked at the fat boy with red eyes.

"Well, this is the charm of history, this is the charm of our Chinese nation for five thousand years."

The fat boy patted his chest proudly and closed the book. He knew that the lecturer would then truly tell about the achievements of the founder of this prosperous era.

The Song Dynasty, which experienced a century of national humiliation, paved a path of blood and thorns for later dynasties, illuminating them for thousands of years.

Today, China stands in the East. As one of the two poles of the world, they have to owe the favors of their ancestors... too much.

As the heyday of a unified dynasty, the Shaosheng era laid a very solid foundation for future generations.

They were able to make peaceful transitions time and time again, from the late Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, and from the Republic of China to the new China. Under internal and external threats, they launched revolutionary reforms that were groundbreaking, all of which were passed down from generation to generation.

They did not fall to the remnants of feudalism, nor did they fall to the Eight-Nation Alliance, nor did they fall in the war of founding the country.

Relying on the legacy of their ancestors, they frantically suppressed and counterattacked the other side when the West rose in modern times, forcing the European and American powers to flee in panic.

In 1840, facing the provocation of the emerging power, the Kingdom of England, Emperor Daozong of the Ming Dynasty swore an oath to his troops and offered sacrifices to heaven. He then took out the Ming treasure ship equipped with the "Shenwu Cannon" from Hong Kong Island and struck the invaders head-on.

In 1851, facing the Taiping Rebellion, a reactionary force armed with Catholic doctrine, the three major camps of the Ming Dynasty suppressed the rebellion with just one charge.

In 1856, the second "Ming-England War" broke out. Emperor Shunzong of the Ming Dynasty personally led the army to Dagukou, Tianjin, and won the battle against England in one go.

In 1860, Emperor Shunzong of the Ming Dynasty defeated the French in Jiaozhi and consolidated the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

In 1880, Emperor Jingzong of the Ming Dynasty defeated Tsarist Russia, which attempted to lay claim to the Mongolian region, and divided Siberia into two parts, east and west, with Lake Baikal as the boundary.

In 1894, Emperor Lizong of the Ming Dynasty suppressed the rebellion in Yingzhou (formerly Japan), which lasted for a year. During this period, nearly half of the local indigenous people were massacred, and he maintained actual control over the entire Yingzhou.

In 1900, facing the eight-nation coalition forces of Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Russia, the Netherlands, Austria and Italy, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty brought the last elite main force of the Ming army onto the battlefield.

The war lasted for three years and ended in a draw. After the war, European and American countries entered a period of recuperation, and the Ming Dynasty came to an end.

In 1911, after weighing the domestic and international situations and the propositions of the revolutionaries, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty voluntarily announced his abdication, and the Ming Dynasty came to an end.

On New Year's Day 1912, the Kuomintang, headed by revolutionary leader Sun Yat-sen, came onto the historical stage and the Republic of China was established.

In 1926, President Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of the Republic of China, passed away and was succeeded by Chiang Kai-shek, who seized power through military means.

In 1927, to everyone's astonishment, this former transport captain ascended the altar to offer sacrifices to heaven and declared himself emperor!

In the same year, the Kuomintang split internally and cooperated with another major local party, the Communist Party, to launch the National Protection Movement.

In 1930, after three years of civil war, the Communist-led forces won a great victory and the Republic of China was destroyed.

In the same year, European and American countries took advantage of China's civil unrest and extended their hands into the Middle East, attempting to steal China's oil resources.

Then, in the founding war of 1931 - the Middle East War, New China, under the leadership of the great man, with its incomparably domineering military force, swept away the European and American powers led by the United States and Germany, and defended its hegemonic rule in the Middle East and its position as the world's number one power!

At this point, the bipolar pattern of confrontation between China and the United States was formed, which has continued to the modern era.

"Since modern times, our country has been under siege by the entire European and American countries, who have attempted to overthrow the Chinese regime."

"But after experiencing the Shaosheng Era, the Hongwu Era, and the Yong'an Era (the reign of Emperor Taizong Zhu Biao of the Ming Dynasty), China has accumulated a lot of heritage!"

"Even if I'm alone against a hundred, I'm not afraid at all."

"Classmates, we shouldn't be satisfied with our world-leading position. China's future journey should be one of 'paying tribute to all nations' and 'reaching the stars and the sea'!"

"We must revive and rebuild the glory of the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties. This is the responsibility of every one of us!"

“The Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties are gone, but we are still here, and the foundation laid by our ancestors remains.”

"Five thousand years ago, we faced the flood like the Egyptians; four thousand years ago, we cast bronze like the ancient Babylonians; three thousand years ago, we philosophized like the Greeks; two thousand years ago, we fought bravely like the Romans; one thousand years ago,

We are as prosperous as the Arabs; today we are competing with the Americans."

"For five thousand years, we have been at the world's poker table, watching the rise and fall of one opponent after another."

"The spirit of gradual progress, inclusiveness, balancing righteousness and profit, and achieving win-win results ensures the enduring inheritance of Chinese culture!"

"'China in Classics' puts it very well: Why is China united? It has been one since ancient times. Books pass on civilization, and civilization shapes the nation."

"China, an ancient civilization, has faced several major crises in history when foreign races invaded the Central Plains, but it still stands as a unified great power in the East of the world."

"This is truly an anomaly in world history. It's an anomaly, but it also implies inevitability."

"Because as long as there is a Chinese person, Chinese civilization will not be cut off."

“This is China!!!”

As the lecturer finished his last words, the students in the audience fell silent. Their history was heavy, so heavy that it made them want to cry.
