God's Game I Am the Great Will of the Planet Chapter 222

"Barbarian slayer" Napolika IV's division method is to call the history of Sulassi before the founding of the state as prehistory, after the founding of the state until before the civil war between the north and south as ancient history, after the end of the civil war until the eastward expansion approached and stopped as the Modern history, before the eastward expansion approached to the end of the Su Xi rebellion, was called modern history, and then called contemporary history.

There are two eras under the jurisdiction of prehistory, both of which are newly created by Napolika IV, the dark age and the barbaric age. The dividing point is still Doleman as the leader.

Ancient history consists of two eras, the archaic era and the classical era. These two nouns were also coined by Napolika IV, and the two eras were divided by the death of Moshi.

The following is an era in modern history. All the previous eras named after the chief priests were cancelled and changed to the era of eastward expansion. In other words, the era of eastward expansion is modern history.

In terms of modern history, Napolika IV inherited the previous title, that is, the method of naming the era with the name of the chief priest. I guess it may be because those people are too close to the present, and their children and grandchildren are still alive?

There is no innovation in contemporary history, and Moxy's statement is still used, the modern era.

Napolika makes a few changes to the treatment between contemporary and modern history. Contemporary history has only the present era, and all eras named after people are classified as modern history.

In addition, the main contribution of Napolika IV's division method lies in three points:

First, Napolika IV introduced the concept of "Era of Eastward Expansion" into the history of Sulassi for the first time. The Era of Eastern Expansion, which Sulassi later called, traced back to the fact that Napolika IV became the official national title.

Second, the rudiment of the concept of the blurring transition stage started from the division of Napolika IV. Although Napolika IV himself did not realize this, the origin of the vague and transitional stage called by later historians is derived from This division of Napolika IV.

Third, the beautiful words of dark age, barbaric age, archaic age, and classical age have influenced later generations. Although their meanings have changed many times in the process of being passed down, they are at least passed down.

First explain that the statement is called the "Era of Eastward Expansion". Napolika IV creatively raised the Era of Eastward Expansion into a concept, which refers to the era when the Sulassis expanded and colonized the east.

In Napolika IV's division standard, the era of eastward expansion officially began in 231. In this year, the ancestors of the Suhi people finally lost their old nest and fled to the east in embarrassment. Napolika lived in the old days of the Suhi people. On the ruins of the land, a city named after himself was established, which is today's Napolica. For a long time, this was the capital of the Sulassians.

Napolica IV believed that, marked by the founding of the city of Napolica, the Sulassians began to expand eastward, doubling Sulassian territory within a few hundred years.

The era of eastward expansion ended in 703, because from this year onwards, the eastward expansion of the Sulassi slowed down to the point of coming to a halt.

I would like to remind readers here that the time of the end of the Eastern Expansion Era was claimed by Napolika IV, which was determined by non-modern scholars. Because that era is too far away from us, there is really no strong data to support the highly subjective judgment of when the eastward expansion will stop. Sulassi historians are still arguing about this issue.

Because today I am not here to discuss the eastward expansion of Sulassi, so I will not delve further into it here, readers just need to understand that Napolica IV's claim that the eastward expansion of Sulassi stopped in 703 is enough .

The second point, the fuzzy transition stage, this is also a very important concept, and I have to remind readers to pay attention to one point, the fuzzy transition concept proposed by Napolica IV, and the fuzzy transition concept we are talking about now are not completely Equal to the same thing.

When Napolika IV was dividing, he thought that there was no need to make an extremely clear judgment on the dividing line of the times, because although the times were changing, if you insisted on finding a node for each era, it would be a A very boring behavior.

For example, the era of the Civil War between the North and the South can naturally be divided according to the year in which the war broke out, because the ensuing time swept the entire Sulassie. But in other peaceful times, dividing by years is nonsense, but in order to distinguish times, it is necessary to divide.

Therefore, at this time, it is up to whoever finds a symbolic event—mostly the alternation of the chief priests—and then assigns the time of division. What if there are extra years between the two eras? Then blur it out.

Readers may feel confused when they see this, so I will actually give an example.

In Napolika IV's division method, the end of ancient history was marked by the civil war between the north and the south, that is to say in 202 years of the calendar; however, Napolika IV divided the beginning of modern times to 231 years, so the middle Lost for 29 years, they are neither ancient nor modern.

This question was asked back then, but Napolika IV put forward the above concept, which is too vague, blurring this period of history, don't go into which era it belongs to, you can regard it as the previous one The era can also be seen as the next era.

Anyway, that era is so far away from now, and the fuzzification will not affect anyone.

In the current history circle, the concept of excessive ambiguity refers to the blurring of the intersection of two eras. When someone mentions this period of history, it can be classified as either the previous era or the next era. .

The biggest difference between the concept of ambiguity and excess in the current historians and Napolika IV is that Napolika IV very clearly limited the ambiguity and excess to the time period vacated by the two eras, while the current historians do not have this rigid requirement. It can be directly placed in the era, as long as you can find the connection between the two eras when you discuss the article.

(4) The early dating of Su Xi

When Su Xi first established the country, although he always maintained an offensive against Su Laxi, he was full of inferiority mentality in culture. Many places were directly moved from Su Laxi, and the history of dynasties was included in it. At first, the method of dating Napolika I was used, and then the method of dating Napolica IV was used.

It was not until the year 794 of the Dali calendar that the first chief priest who had not participated in the founding war of Suxi, King Keerg I, became the 4th chief priest of Suxi, and decided to make efforts to get rid of the cultural inferiority of the Suxi people. The dating method of Napolika IV was one of the goals that Kerger I wanted to get rid of.

With the efforts of Keerg I, Su Xi launched his own dating method, called the Keerg method of dating, which replaced the original Napolika IV method of dating.

But unfortunately, in Kerger's view, there are many things to do to get rid of the cultural inferiority of the Suhi people, and it is obviously not an important thing in the aspect of the replacement law.

Therefore, the so-called Kerge dating method is extremely simple. For prehistory, ancient history, modern history and contemporary history, Kerger completely copied the age-dating method of Napolika IV, even the name of the era is the same, only the modern In the era when the names were named in the history, the name was changed by Keerg, but the template was still Surasi.

Therefore, in addition to increasing the self-confidence of the Suhi people, the Kerge dating method has little value and is a very garbage dating method.

The first valuable dating method of Suxi was the Lesorno dating method introduced in 848 by the 10th chief priest, Lethorno I. This is the first Suhi people's own dating method.

In the Lesorno dating method, he divides history as follows.

Prehistory: Governing the primitive age and the ignorant age, the dividing line is still the "ancestor of magic" Moxie became the leader of the Doraiman tribe.

Ancient History: Governs the ancient times, the middle ages and the modern times. The two demarcation points are the conquest of Napolika by the Surasi and the emergence of the Beastmaster system.

Modern History: Under the jurisdiction of the founding era and the era of the Western Expedition, it began with the outbreak of a rebellion of the Suhi people, with Susie occupying the Seleuridian priest as the dividing line, and ended with the signing of the "Seleuriyad Treaty".

Modern History: An era still named after the three chief priests.

Contemporary History: Under the jurisdiction of the modern era.

The biggest contribution of this Lessono dating method of the Suhi people has two points:

The first is to establish the concept of dating method because the history of the main ethnic group is used as the standard, and this concept later influenced Ge Xiuge's dating.

The second is to change the very ugly barbarism and darkness in the mouth of Napolika IV into primitive and ignorant. In fact, we still use these two words to refer to the previous era to this day, which are all of Lessono I. contribute.

(5) The development and simplification of the history of the two countries before the founding of the country by Ge Xiuge

The founding of Suxi was a drastic change, marking that Sulassi was no longer the only player in the Sulassi cultural circle, so the dating method was also renovated during that period.

However, after that, the two countries did not have any gratifying development in the aspect of chronological history, and the old road of 500 years before Sulassi was restored. lengthen.

However, when I said about the same, I only mean that the official documents are generally unchanged. In fact, in the past two hundred years, the biggest change has come from the people, that is, the famous trend of simplification.

The wave of simplification first started from Xingqimu, and then quickly spread to Sulassi and Suxi. The theory of this wave is probably as follows: History does not need to be so complicated, and it does not need to be divided into eras. simplify.

To give a simplified plan, a student in Shipari believes that history should only need four stages, the prehistory before the founding of Sulassi, the ancient history before the founding of Suxi, and the modern history 30 years ago. Ten years of contemporary history, this is the division of history.

And there are still many people who have similar ideas. They have proposed hundreds of proposals. To this day, we can still see fifty-six proposals in Niguer's Miscellaneous Items.

It is a pity that the supporters of this trend are fighting each other, and their own internal struggles are still fierce, so they have not received official attention. After the war between Sulassi and Susie heated up, scholars were gradually attracted by the reformists. In the past, the first popularity of the simplification trend has quietly dissipated.
