Traveling through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a story of survival in troubled tim

"Brother, the destination of our trip..." Wen Shu could no longer suppress her inner excitement. Ever since she came ashore on the Jialing River, she felt like her bones were about to moldy, and she couldn't wait to learn how to ride a horse.

Wen Yao also thought that they had entered his territory and their safety was guaranteed, so he agreed to Wen Shu's request.

At first, Wen Yao just regarded this as a way for Wen Shu to kill time, thinking that after she tasted the bitterness, she would naturally give up.

He never expected that Wen Shu would show such amazing talent.

Once on horseback, she seemed like a different person and couldn't get off the horse at all.

At the beginning, she was still staggering, but fortunately Wen Yao was always protecting her, and there were many guards around watching closely, so no accidents happened.

Now, Wenshu has completely adapted to riding a horse and can even ride side by side with Wenyao.

She asked curiously, "Brother, where is our destination?"

Wen Yao no longer concealed the truth and replied with a smile, "If we catch up for another half day, we will reach Dangqu!"

When Wen Shu heard the name "Dangqu", she couldn't help but mutter it.

This place was both strange and familiar to her, making her full of anticipation and curiosity.

Dangqu is located in Bashu. Its only fame is that it is the birthplace of Emperor Cheng Han. Although it is the era when Emperor Wu is in power, this place should be within the power control of Emperor Wu.

Since the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, various forces have been ready to move, especially in the remote and remote area of ​​Bashu.

The resources here are abundant, and thanks to the advantages of the terrain, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also known as the land of abundance. This Bashu took advantage of the Eight Kings Rebellion to establish its own power.

Wenshu's academic performance was not good at that time, and she only had a superficial understanding of the history of the hundreds of years before the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Regarding the history after the Three Kingdoms period, I only have a general understanding of its historical direction and have not studied it in detail.

If she had known this day would come, she would have had to read it carefully. Now it is too late to regret.

They were lucky and unfortunate, as they successfully escaped from Luoyang before the Yongjia Rebellion.

"Brother, Che Bashu is now under the control of the Li family. If we make such a big move, will it..."

Wen Shu was worried that their group was so conspicuous, and Cheng Han, founded by the Li family, was extremely sensitive in this regard.

They are refugees who have accomplished something, so they should be more wary of this aspect than others.

“Oh, you know this.”

Wen Yao was a little surprised. Logically speaking, a girl like Wen Shu in the boudoir would only think about fine food and gorgeous clothes. Women were not very lenient in the Western Jin Dynasty.

In ancient society, literacy was a luxury for most women.

Only women from official families or wealthy families had the opportunity to receive specialized education and learn to read and write.

These women were usually taught by private tutors, but the scope of knowledge they learned was relatively narrow, limited to some simple cultural areas such as poetry, calligraphy, flowers, and tea art.

In contrast, men focus more on studying Confucian classics such as the Four Books and the Five Classics. Their studies are more complex and demanding.

However, this does not mean that women do not have their own unique talents and wisdom.

There have also been some outstanding women in history, such as Xin Xianying, a talented woman in the Cao Wei period. She was born into a prominent family and received a good education since childhood. She showed outstanding talents, especially in the political and military fields.

Wen Yao simply smiled indifferently, expressing his understanding. He knew that this phenomenon was common in the social context of the time.

Pengpeng is a special child. Although his mental development is somewhat special, his memory is very good, even better than that of ordinary people.

In addition, the large collection of books at home also provides children with a rich source of knowledge, allowing them to access more information, thereby broadening their horizons and increasing their knowledge.

Wen Yao straightened his expression and continued, "Our lineage, our ancestor Zhong Weng left behind a branch when he served as the governor of Shu.

Back then, our ancestors worked tirelessly for education and water conservancy in Shu and lived on this land for decades.

Although the main branch later returned to Shu County, Lujiang Commandery, some descendants chose to stay here, and our branch was one of them."

"Over the years, although we have maintained some contact with the Lujiang branch, Bashu and Luoyang are far apart from each other.

Coupled with the social unrest in recent years, the connections between them have gradually decreased."

After hearing this, Wen Shu couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Weng Weng, Zhong Weng..."

She understood that it was because of the efforts and contributions of their ancestors that the Wen family was able to gain a foothold in Luoyang and grow stronger.

In addition to Wenfu's outstanding knowledge, he was not only well-known in the Bashu County area, but was also highly respected in the Yizhou area at that time.

In addition to his ancestors' reputation, he was able to find a job in Luoyang City.

Our ancestor Wen Weng was a great scholar in the Western Han Dynasty. During his tenure as governor of Shu, he not only spread the Central Plains culture in Shu, but also overcame numerous obstacles and founded the first official school in Shu.

By allowing children from Shu to attend school, local education developed rapidly. In order to increase the enthusiasm of students, our ancestors even taught them personally.

It is because of our ancestors’ vigorous promotion of education that the people of Shu were able to be educated.

Wen Weng's move not only greatly promoted the spread and exchange of Central Plains culture to the Bashu region, but also opened a window for the people of Bashu to the outside world.

Both the learning culture and economic development have received tremendous boost from this.

This may be the reason why the descendants of the Wen family have not been ostracized by the locals even after their ancestors passed away.

Speaking of this, Wenshu couldn't help but recall the content in the history textbook when she was in school - the first and oldest official school in Chinese history, "Wen Weng Stone Chamber".

Even after thousands of years, the people of Bashu have never forgotten the benefits that Wen Weng brought them, especially his contributions in education.

They have passed down the "Wen Weng Stone Chamber" to this day, and it has been built for thousands of years.

Wenshu never expected that she would have the honor to become a descendant of this great man.

"Brother, if that's the case, why did we end up in such a remote place?"

As descendants of Weng, we really shouldn't have fallen to this point.

"You only know one side of the story, not the other..."

Perhaps recalling the difficult journey of his ancestors who had to flee from wars over the past few hundred years, Brother Wen's voice was filled with emotion.

"Although our ancestors have done favors for Shu, it has been a long time since they last met. Moreover, as the saying goes, kindness fades away, not to mention us, the descendants who have been isolated for hundreds of years. The kindness of our ancestors is a great favor to scholars, but it is not for ordinary people..."

"Especially during times of war, when ordinary people can't even get enough to eat, nothing is more important than filling their stomachs."
