Rebirth 1998, Bai Yueguang got anxious after I stopped being a bootlicker

As he spoke, Pan Yinian wrote a few words after the second line: Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty, "Zizhi Tongjian".

In 1071 AD, Sima Guang, who had been working full-time on the Zizhi Tongjian for four years, was furious when his friend was dismissed from office. He wrote a letter to the emperor, led his publishing house, and retired to Luoyang, where he took up a position at the Xijing Liusi Yushitai.

"With the help of the Northern Song Dynasty Book Bureau, which is also the national team, and with the help of ancient books and materials from various dynasties, he spent another 15 years full-time compiling and editing to complete the "Zizhi Tongjian", a magnificent work of more than 300 million words."

"Here, please pay attention to five words: Northern Song Dynasty, bookstore, full-time, compilation, and 19 years."

"And the Germans who compiled Aristotle's works more than a hundred years ago."

"It took nearly 40 years just to transcribe the discovered works of Aristotle."

"And our great Mr. Aristotle, in his spare time besides traveling and teaching, single-handedly left behind over 1000 million words of classical literature in just 25 years, covering 47 disciplines including metaphysics, physics, and natural sciences..."

“Many scholars spend their entire lives studying research but still fail to come up with fruitful results, but Aristotle can do it effortlessly.”

"Here, I really want to ask across the long river of time:"

"Mr. Aristotle, you are a god who is born with knowledge and has 48 hours in a day, right? Otherwise, how could you be so awesome?"

A sarcastic tone.

It caused everyone to laugh, but also made many people frown and think deeply.

In this era.

Whether teachers or students, they all have a worship that is almost like faith for this historical sage.

But Pan Yinian's words shattered their three views.

Liang Xiujiu wanted to refute Pan Yinian, but couldn't find a reason.

Zhuang Ziwen, who was hiding in the office, was so anxious that he frantically flipped through the history textbook.

But even if he read the textbook to pieces, he couldn't find any basis for rebuttal.

Pan Yinian sneered and glanced at Liang Xiujiu.

Then, circle the third and fourth lines of words.

"All-round, unified version, no mistakes or omissions!"

"Before the 13th century, no one knew about it."

"As we all know, in ancient times, any classic text that was circulated was likely to contain errors, be lost, or even be tampered with."

"After all, there were no photocopiers back then, let alone U... telex and fax machines. They could only copy by hand."

Pan Yinian originally wanted to say "U disk copy", but fortunately he noticed it in time and changed it.

"For example, the well-known 'Quiet Night Thoughts'."

"Originally it was 'watching the moonlight before the bed', but by the Ming Dynasty it became 'the bright moonlight before the bed'."

“And ‘Viewing the Waterfall at Mount Lu’.”

"'Lushan Mountain is connected to the Big Dipper, the sun shines on the incense burner, and purple smoke is produced' was changed to 'The sun shines on the incense burner, and purple smoke is produced, and a waterfall hangs in the distance.'"

"If even a poem of just twenty or thirty words can be like this, how much more so a monumental work that has been passed down for over two thousand years?"

"Furthermore, according to historical records, Aristotle lived during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in my country. Since his ideas dominated the Middle Ages, it means that someone was constantly spreading his ideas."

"But why is there only one version of his magnificent work?"

"And why, before the 13th century, no one knew about it?"

"Could it be that those dozens of countries share the same set of books?"

"Furthermore, those dozens of countries, throughout the long course of history, have tacitly engaged in a literary inquisition, erasing all traces of Aristotle?"

Speaking of this, Pan Yinian looked sarcastic.

"Of course, there is an explanation that can barely be called an explanation."

"That is, his works had been buried deep underground and were suddenly dug out and brought to light."

"I'm very curious about what kind of advanced technology has allowed those fragile, easily bent, and perishable papyrus to remain underground for over two thousand years without decaying, and with legible writing?"

"Even in 1870, hundreds of years later, it was compiled and published by the Germans?"

"You know, it's only been over two hundred years since the Declaration of Independence, and it's already hard to see."

"it……"

Da da da……

Pan Yinian pointed at the name "Aristotle" on the blackboard and scanned the entire room, "Why?"

Following this, Pan Yinian finished speaking.

The space and time of the entire playground seemed to suddenly freeze, and it was so quiet that only the whistling sound of the wind remained.

Everyone stared at Pan Yinian with wide eyes, with an inexplicable fear in their eyes.

Even the handsome middle-aged man named Chen, who was standing in the office on the second floor of the teaching building, gasped.

If we follow Pan Yinian's line of reasoning, there is only one possibility left:

Aristotle is fictional and false.

At the very least, he is a pseudo-ancient philosopher who has been infinitely exaggerated and artificially created by the West.

but……

How can this be?

Why do they do this?

"Pan Yinian, stop trying to attract attention. If Aristotle is fictional, where did those works come from?"

"Who would be willing to give away the fruits of a lifetime of research?"

"Also, today we're talking about your plagiarism, not some random rambling conversation with you."

Liang Xiujiu, unable to find a reason to refute, began to make unreasonable demands.

Everyone looked at Liang Xiujiu with disgust and disdain.

Even Principal Dong and the others frowned.

However, they did not stop Liang Xiuju because they also wanted to know the answer.

Pan Yinian looked at Liang Xiuju, sneered, and said:

"With your narrow-mindedness and selfish nature, you really can't understand it."

"But what if these achievements weren't originally the result of their own research?"

talking.

Pan Yinian wrote two more lines on the blackboard.

Yuan Dynasty.

missionary.

"The Yuan Dynasty was incredibly powerful, its territory spanning Eurasia, and it completely blew the minds of European nations."

"Arab missionaries, integrating East and West, diligent and studious..."

"So, those European nobles, who were in a state of panic, sought out the knowledgeable Arab missionaries."

"Works such as the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Classic, The Exploitation of the Works of Nature, and the Yongle Encyclopedia, originally titled The Complete Works of Literature, which had already been translated into Arabic, were translated into Greek."

"Among them, the 'Dacheng Wenxian' was translated into 'Aristotle'."

"And 'Aristotle', translated into Chinese, is 'Aristotle'."

At this time, everyone was confused.

How terrifying must one's reading volume and memory be to come up with such an answer?

Not to mention these students, I'm afraid even the history teachers present here can't do it, right?

Liang Xiujiu's face looked extremely ugly.

Zhuang Ziwen, who was hiding in the office, was so shocked that he turned pale. He fell into the chair with a bang and was unable to recover for a long time.

"Pan Yinian, do you have any substantial evidence for this conclusion?"
