After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

The Eight Trigrams are a common trait among all humankind.

It was precisely because the gossip interrupted Zhu Qinggu's suspicions that he stopped thinking too much about the things on the website and started paying attention to the gossip instead.

It was later discovered that it wasn't suicide; it was because he was too fragile, had low blood sugar, and fell down, hitting his head.

Zhu Qinggu recalled the elderly women and men exercising in the video and felt that they were more energetic than young people. He thought that young people should retire and let them go out and explore, since now is the age to do so.

Distracted by the gossip, Zhu Qinggu didn't remember to edit the live broadcast notification in the background until evening.

According to the rule of broadcasting live every two days, she should be broadcasting on Monday. However, broadcasting on Monday would be a bit rushed since the trending topic has just emerged. Therefore, her broadcasting schedule will be fixed on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday noon from now on.

That way, you don't have to bother calculating it.

……

The next morning, she opened the website backend early to check what the trending keywords were.

Tombs

Let's delve into the gossip of the ancients.

野史

Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han

……

The hot topic was "tombs." Zhu Qinggu quickly went through his mind. It was probably because there had been new progress in the archaeological work at Sanxingdui last week that "tombs" was a hot topic.

However, she knew very little about this and still needed to look up some information.

Alternatively, the first episode could discuss the changes in burial practices, the second episode could talk about some anecdotes about ancient burials, the third episode could discuss archaeology, and then expand on the topic to discuss modern funeral practices and how funerals will develop in the future.

Zhu Qinggu immediately came up with a plan and wrote it down in his phone's memo app.

After a day of classes, I finished my homework and studied for a while before starting to look up information.

Burial culture is also an important part of Chinese culture. It's impossible to explain it in such detail in just one hour. She can only give a rough overview, but it will most likely follow a timeline.

From the Neolithic period to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and then to the Qin and Han dynasties.

Furthermore, it needs to be accompanied by some illustrations to make it more intuitive. So, let's make it into a PPT format and find some video materials.

Having formulated a plan in mind, Zhu Qinggu's actions were not slow.

In ancient times, there was no concept of days of the week. The closest equivalent was the seven luminaries. In fact, the seven luminaries are also widely used in other countries. For example, Saturn's Day is Saturday, and Sun's Day is Sunday, and so on.

They were a little anxious because Zhu Qinggu's live stream didn't come as expected. Would Miss Zhu stop broadcasting on the Sky Screen in the future?

Many people decided to wait and see for another day, perhaps Ms. Zhu could adjust the date again?

Sure enough, Zhu Qinggu's live stream started the next day at noon.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Have you all had lunch?" Zhu Qinggu waved slightly.

In many ancient dynasties, people ate two meals a day. In fact, some people started to make changes during the Han Dynasty, but it was not until the Song Dynasty that three meals a day were officially established.

Now, everyone who was able to have lunch also waved in her manner.

Some people are eating sesame seed cakes, some are eating noodles, and some are eating rice...

"Haha, eating and watching at the same time is the right way. No wonder those comments always say it's a video to watch while eating." Li Shimin laughed heartily. Recently, he has been inviting several children to eat together. Watching them eat without any restraint, Li Shimin also enjoys his meal.

Old Zhu was overjoyed to eat noodles and sesame cakes made by his wife today. He has loved this dish for so many years, and no amount of delicacies can make him forget it.

What will the anchor talk about today?

[I'm eating! I'll eat anything you say, even if you make me look at poop!]

[I saw a trending topic: burial sites. Is Qingqing going to talk about burial sites today?]

"It seems some of you have already guessed. Yes, today I'm going to talk about the history of Chinese burial practices." Zhu Qinggu smiled slightly, his voice low and deep. "So, everyone, get ready to enter that mysterious and magnificent world with me..."

For some reason, the people under the sky shuddered.

People who were eating felt a chill down their spines.

Li Shimin, who was eating, suddenly froze. "Ah, talking about tombs...you wouldn't be talking about me, would you...?"

The children fell silent instantly; perhaps they would talk about their own stories too!

Cao Cao shuddered. "Won't they bring him up again? Don't bring up the whole 'he' from when he was buried and the 'he' from when he was a child' thing again!"

Sun Quan sneezed for some reason, with a bad feeling. Could it be that his tomb would be looted by others in the future?

Ying Zheng could actually deduce from many sources that later generations had only unearthed his terracotta warriors and had not yet unearthed the main tomb, but that did not mean he wanted to hear about the tomb!

Liu Che thought that he must have brought many things with him after his death. He was the emperor in life, and he should be the emperor in death as well.

Being mentioned by Tianmu in the past was a good thing, but being mentioned by Tianmu in this episode doesn't seem to be a good thing.

Thinking of the ancestral tomb of the last emperor that had been blown up a few nights ago, Liu Che felt a chill run down his spine.

There were quite a few emperors and their ministers who shared his views.

This time, Tianmu... please don't select them, okay?

"First, we need to understand the meaning of a few terms. The first is the meaning of burial. Burial is a way of burying the deceased. A tomb refers to the location where the body is placed, and burial refers to the method of placing the body. Together, they are called burial." Zhu Qinggu's words were clear and easy to understand.

Everyone under the sky understands that someone in every family has died.

"At the same time, there may also be burial objects in the tomb. Because of the Chinese people's 'ancestor worship' and the ancient people's concept of 'treating the dead as if they were alive,' people attach great importance to funerals."

"Now that we're here, we'll introduce new concepts—mausoleum, tomb, grave, mound—what are these respectively?"

Those under the canopy noticed that this time, the focus of Miss Zhu's explanation was not on her face or her lecturing; her image was placed in the lower left corner, while the canopy displayed more pictures and text.

These images and concise text are very convenient and comfortable to look at; the text even has a tree diagram to guide you down, just like a process flow.

Many people's eyes lit up slightly when they saw this approach.

Furthermore, they also noticed that Zhu Qinggu's account was logical and well-founded, and he liked to narrate in a way that was concise and to the point, with each sentence having a clear focus.

"Actually, these are all burial sites, but there are some differences between them."

A picture appeared on the screen, and Zhu Qinggu said, "The simplest thing is a grave. A grave is just a small mound of earth. The Book of Rites also says, 'A high mound of earth is called a grave.' The Fangyan also says, 'A grave is a large mound of earth. In the dark and secluded places, any large mound of earth is called a grave.'"
