Chapter 64 Liu Xing's Dou E (Popular Science Film 1)

"Excuse me, when did the Prime Minister say the famous line that has been passed down through the ages, 'I would rather let the world down than let the world let me down!'"

(Actually, I wanted to ask about famous quotes, but then I realized this one is too classic! There’s no way anyone doesn’t know it!)

Liu Xing looked confused after hearing this?

"What the hell? I only know that the Prime Minister often says this, but I don't know when the Prime Minister said it!"

When Ye Long heard Liu Xing's answer, he looked helpless!

"Liu Xing! Even if I give you a chance, you can't do anything about it!"

"Forget it! Let me explain to you what's going on! You really learned history in vain!"

"First of all, for the first question, are you stupid? Xiaoyu doesn't know anything about history! That's just a brain teaser!"

"The obvious answer is that donkeys can't do riddles!"

After listening to this, Liu Xing suddenly realized!

"Oh~! That's it!"

"No, Xiaoyu, you are trying to trick me!"

Xiaoyu was interrupted by her mother just as she was about to say something!

"What do you mean Xiaoyu tricked you? It's obvious that you are too stupid! And Xiaoxue also warned you!"

"Didn't Xiaoxue tell you? How come you can't react to such a simple question? Use your brain!"

When Liu Xing heard this, it seemed to be true! He immediately looked like he had lost all hope in life! Ye Long, who was sitting next to his mother, saw that Liu Xing had reacted! So he continued to popularize science!

"Xiaoxue's question is in which year did Qin Shihuang unify the six kingdoms! Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms in 221 BC. From the attack on Han in 230 BC to the destruction of Qi in 221 BC, it took a total of 10 years. He successively destroyed Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi in order, ending the situation of more than 500 years of separatist disputes among princes in China since the Spring and Autumn Period, and established the first monarchical centralized state in Chinese history, namely the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty was the first unified centralized feudal dynasty in Chinese history. King Qin Ying Zheng changed his title to emperor, the famous Qin Shi Huang!"

"Look at you! Other emperors can't remember it, but the greatest emperor in history can't remember it! The same writing system, the same wheel gauge! The greatest emperor in history who unified the cultivation of flowers!"

"Is Qin Shi Huang so powerful?"

Seeing Liu Xing's surprised expression, Ye Long was speechless! He was no longer in the mood to continue popularizing science!

"Dad! Please continue to educate everyone! Otherwise we won't know even the simplest historical events!"

"Okay then! I, your dad, will continue to educate you about the rest!"

"The next question is from my mother. Who was Confucius' teacher?"

"Actually, this question is easy to answer! Confucius did not have a fixed teacher, or a teacher who taught him knowledge for a long time!"

"However, the following people have taught Confucius:"

1. Li Er, courtesy name Boyang, was also known as Laozi or Laodan. He was a native of Chen during the Spring and Autumn Period and was born in the east of Luyi County, Henan Province. In his early years, he served as the keeper of the archives of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Later, when the Zhou Dynasty rebelled, a large number of classics were taken to the Chu State.

"2. Chang Hong, courtesy name Xu, was a native of ancient Zizhong County. He was born in 575 BC and died in 492 BC. Chang Hong was knowledgeable and talented. He knew astronomy and geography, and was proficient in astrology and music. He often interacted with King Jing of Zhou. Confucius had long admired his name and talent in Qi. In the second year of King Jing of Zhou, he went to Zhou to visit Chang Hong and ask for advice on the similarities and differences between Shao music and Wu music and what he did not understand."

"3. Shi Xiang, a music official of the State of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period, was good at playing the chime, and was also called Jiqing Xiang. There is also a saying that he was a music official of the State of Wei, also known as Shi Xiangzi. Confucius once learned about the qin from him."

"The most historically classic of these should be Confucius, who was once a student of Laozi, and led some of his disciples to travel around the countries for fourteen years. In his later years, he revised the Six Classics, namely "Book of Songs", "Book of History", "Rites", "Music", "I Ching" and "Spring and Autumn Annals". According to legend, he had three thousand disciples, among whom were seventy-two sages. After Confucius' death, his disciples and their disciples recorded the words, deeds, and thoughts of Confucius and his disciples, and compiled them into the Confucian classic "The Analects". So many people mistakenly think that Laozi is Confucius' teacher, which cannot be said to be wrong, but can only be said to be a little bit...!

"Wow! Dad, you are so awesome~"?4

"Ahem! Keep a low profile!"

"Now let's talk about Meng Jiangnu's crying... no, it's the story of Dou E's injustice!"

"It is said that during the Yuan Dynasty, there was a woman named Dou E who was very beautiful. However, because her family was poor, her father had no choice but to sell her to a local family as a child bride! However, Dou E had only been married for less than two years when her husband died of illness! Dou E had no choice but to depend on her mother-in-law for life!"

"One day when she was out, she was spotted by a local gangster who wanted to force her to marry him! But she refused!"

"The gangster was unwilling to be rejected like this! So he planned to poison Dou E's mother-in-law, wanting to make her helpless and cornered so that he could marry her home! Who would have thought that by mistake, the gangster poisoned his own father! So the gangster became angry and put the blame on Dou E, and bribed the government to convict Dou E...!

"Bah! Obscene!"?5

"So Dou E was wrongly accused, but she had nowhere to turn to for help, no justice to clear her name, and she was tortured in every way...!

PS I'll post these first, but I forgot the rest of the details! I'm too sleepy! I'll post the rest in the next chapter! I'll do it as soon as possible!
