1. Lack of rendering of popular folk stories and novels, and the general public knows less. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were stories about the history of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, five tyrants and seven chivalrous men, and a hundred schools of thought contended. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were many stories and idioms of Qin Huang Hanwu and Liu Xiangyu Gang. Romance of the Three Kingdoms has the widest influence. There is The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties, which tells the story of Tang Dynasty, and the story of Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei. In the Song Dynasty, there were Yang Jiajiang, Bao Gong's drama and Dongpo's story, and Wang Mao and Yue said. There are many folk stories in Ming Dynasty, such as Zhu Yuanzhang and Judy, Zheng De, Yan Song, Hai Rui, Qi Jiguang, Tang Bohu, Yuan Chonghuan and Li Zicheng. In the Qing Dynasty, Xiao Zhuang got married and became a monk in Shunzhi. Except for Ao Bai in Kangxi, Yongzheng died suddenly, Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, except for Shenyang in Jiaqing, Tongzhi visited the kiln, Guangxu political reform, and Cixi listened to politics. . . Everyone is too familiar with it, and it is widely circulated among the people, including Gong Liu case, Shi Gong case, Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and copper teeth, not to mention so many Qing Dynasty dramas. However, popular historical stories and literary works about Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties are rarely circulated.
The main point of the topic is actually a lot of historical gossip about a certain time (many of which are not in line with the official history). When it comes to historical stories and people, many people who can talk can talk endlessly, but when it comes to rigorous historical science, most people are actually unfamiliar with it. Take the three most familiar countries as an example. What everyone is familiar with is actually the historical story of Cao Sunliu's wits and wits (not necessarily accurate). If we really want to discuss the history of the Three Kingdoms, which involves the laws and regulations, cultural characteristics and social conditions at that time, most people are vague about the deep-seated reasons of many historical events, because there is no historical story or romance of the Three Kingdoms.
3. Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties is an important period of historical transformation and ethnic integration in the history of China. It is a link between Qin and Han Dynasties and Sui and Tang Dynasties, and has always been a hot topic in historical research. There are quite a few people engaged in the study of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and they have achieved a large number of great cows, including Chen Yinque, Tang, and Japanese stars such as Naito Hunan, Miyazaki Shi Ding, Tanigawa Daoxiong and Kawamoto Zhao Fang. However, due to the drastic changes and complexity of this period, the historical materials are numerous (history books and unearthed documents are numerous), and it is also very difficult to study them. So far, many important issues (such as social nature, ethnic relations, territorial expansion, laws and regulations, etc. There has been no conclusion in the field of history, and there are still different views. Even historians themselves have not figured it out, let alone the general public? This history is really too complicated.
4. Wuhu and the Sixteen Northern Dynasties were all Hu countries, and only the Western Jin Dynasty was briefly unified during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, which brought more failure lessons than successful experiences to future generations. This period has changed a lot, and there is no systematic legal system and cultural tradition passed down to later generations. Therefore, the citation rate of later generations is naturally not so high, and most people are not clear about this history, so naturally it is not so widely circulated. Our great leader claims to be proficient in history (here should be "hehe"), and likes to comment at will and make use of history. However, if we do statistics, his comments on the history of Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties (so we have to exclude the Three Kingdoms, which are part of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but with high familiarity, it is an exception) are actually very few (compared with other periods) (of course, his comments on other periods are also very shallow), which also shows that he can directly absorb few nutrients in governing the country.
To sum up, I personally think that the history of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties has not been despised in middle school history textbooks, and the space division in textbooks is fair. However, because this period of history is too complicated and not widely circulated among the people, ordinary history teachers rarely play well in teaching, and at the same time, everyone rarely contacts it in daily life, so this period of history seems to be a lot cold.
As for Chinese textbooks, because the literature of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties is also in a transitional period, except Tao Yuanming, other Chinese textbooks are only Mulan Poetry, Chen Qingbiao and Preface to Lanting. The main reason is that during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, parallel prose and palace poems were more popular than the content, which was later denied, so it was rare in middle school Chinese textbooks. Of course, this is not to deny the value of this literary history in the history of China literature.
