Chapter 276 Subverting everyone’s perception
Ye Zhen appeared in front of the camera on time. Under the illumination of the lights, Ye Zhen, standing in the center of the podium, looked particularly handsome. "Good evening everyone, welcome to today's "Into Science Popularization"." "We meet again, I am your host Ye Zhen." Ye Zhen's face still has the smile that is familiar to the audience. Everyone looked at Ye Zhen who appeared on the screen. "Wow, Ye Shen's show has finally started. Now we can see what is written in the trailer." "I'm very curious whether those two sacred trees really exist." "Why do I feel that Teacher Ye is particularly handsome today? Is it my imagination?" Some of Ye Zhen's old viewers have obviously been waiting for the show to start.
Some of them wanted to watch Ye Zhen's program as soon as possible. He didn't hesitate to ask for leave and returned to his home early to wait. Don't want to miss a minute. Students also completed their homework early. As soon as school was over, I started working hard to finish the homework assigned by the school. In addition to old viewers, because of the high-quality epic-quality trailer shot by CCTV. Many new audiences have also been attracted. I want to see what’s so special about this show. "I want to see what's so interesting about this program that it can be broadcast on CCTV." "The preview of this show is very interesting. I want to know why these two sacred trees turned out like this." Except for the general audience. Other historians and archaeologists are also paying attention to Ye Zhen's program. Because Ye Zhen’s previous program had benefited them a lot. The novel angle and different thinking angle shocked the old guard like them. Many new historical and archaeological papers have been published inspired by and based on Ye Zhen's program. Now the history and archeology departments in some universities are organizing their own people to watch Ye Zhen's program. "You should learn more from this host. Even if I am your teacher, I may not be able to explain some of his knowledge as well as he does." An old professor in the history department said to his students. In addition to this ordinary classroom, some supervisors of graduate and doctoral students are also like this. They also asked their graduate students to watch Ye Zhen's program together.
"That's right if you don't have ideas for your thesis." "Watch more of Mr. Ye's programs. Take a closer look. You can graduate if you only learn a little bit." The instructor of the Department of Archeology said this to his graduate student. Some scientists and researchers also appeared on the show on time. They are also watching Ye Zhen’s show. There is also the Academy of Life Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which has temporarily put aside the experiments on hand. I have watched Ye Zhen’s program several times, and each time I have different experimental inspirations. "I want to see what new things this Ye Zhen will bring us." "Our experiment has reached a bottleneck." Professor Yan Xin once again took his graduate students to drink together. This is something that happens once and twice. Drinking with a group of people is of course more enjoyable than drinking alone. During the 749th round, when Ning Xiu saw the program preview, she could no longer suppress her curiosity. Because Ning Xiu could see the two sacred trees in this trailer. They are clearly Fusang and Jianmu!
In the 749th game, Ning Xiu took off her shoes and watched Ye Zhen's program leisurely. After a period of busy work, Bureau 749 is now temporarily idle. Ever since Ye Zhen killed that group of ninjas. Those underground ninjas seemed to have disappeared, and they didn't know where they went. But Ning Xiu knew that these underground ninjas would never leave like this. This is not their way of doing things, but now they simply can't find these underground ninjas. I don't know what their purpose is. The peace and quiet now is a bit like the calm before the storm. The remaining personnel of Bureau 749 are also in the Bureau. Lao Chen was wearing reading glasses, making a cup of chrysanthemum tea on the table, and reading a newspaper in his hand. Bin Zhou was chatting with Song Xuan. After Song Xuan heard Ye Zhen's voice, she left directly in front of Bin Zhou. He came to Ning Xiu with a chair. "Captain Ning, has Consultant Ye's program started?" Song Xuan looked at the screen with bright eyes. Song Xuan has also seen the trailer many times, but with her little mind, she cannot understand the content.
People who were fed up with them organized a trip to Hui Province, and together they went to observe the earliest Hetu Luoshu. They have a deeper understanding of the art of hating victory. After reading the trailer, Professor Zhou also knew the two sacred trees in the trailer. "Old Wu, you can see it, right? There are two towering trees in the trailer." Old Wu was sipping tea on the side, "Two of the three sacred trees in China are Fusang and Jianmu." Obviously, the two old members of the Shengsheng League knew what the two sacred trees mentioned in the trailer were. But they are also curious about what Ye Zhen wants to broadcast this time. Some Taoist priests from the Taoist sect also put down their homework at this time. Under Zhang Tianshi's call, they sat together and watched Ye Zhen's program. The rest of the Taoist priests didn't know why Zhang Tianshi asked them to put down their usual homework and watch this show called Ye Zhen. Zhang Tianshi just said, "The secret of heaven must not be leaked." Back to Ye Zhen, Ye Zhen had a smile on his face. "I want to ask you a simple question here." "Excuse me, everyone, who discovered the New World of America?" Ye Zhen's voice also echoed in the studio. Anyone who has received nine years of compulsory education can answer this question. Some staff members present whispered: "What is Mr. Ye doing? Why are you asking this elementary school student the same question?" The audience watching the show also didn't understand. "Every elementary school student knows, right? Who discovered the New World?" "I thought I was going to ask some serious question, is this it? I know the answer with my toes." "There won't be anyone who doesn't know, right?" Apparently many viewers thought this question was too simplistic. But there is still a small portion of the audience who don’t know. Xiao Ming had already moved the small bench and sat in front of the TV. Xiao Ming's father is also watching the show. Of course Xiao Ming's father knows the answer. "Son, daddy is going to test you. Do you know the answer to Teacher Ye's question?" Xiao Ming's dad asked with a smile. "Columbus, dad." Xiao Ming didn't even look back, "Who doesn't know this?" Xiao Ming's father was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Ming, a primary school student, to really know the answer to this question. Apparently in history textbooks, this is Columbus discovering the New World. It's an iconic thing.
But Ye Zhen showed a mysterious smile at this time. "Do you want to say that it was Christopher Columbus who discovered the American continent?" "After all, it's in the history books." "It is also something recorded in the knowledge system that we have learned since childhood." "Both parents and teachers teach us this." "This is also written in textbooks, and some extracurricular books are also written in this way." "It was Columbus who discovered the New World of America." "And regard Columbus as a representative of pioneering and fighting spirit." Everyone watching the show didn't know what Ye Zhen wanted to say. But they always felt that there was something in Ye Zhen's words. Some people who are familiar with Ye Zhen's program contacted the previous program. Ye Zhen's program had already told them. Textbooks can also make mistakes, and it does not necessarily mean that the authority is correct. Ye Zhen's voice was neither loud nor quiet, but it felt neither humble nor arrogant. The sound is extremely penetrating. "This has always been the case, does it have to be correct?" Ye Zhen wrote Columbus's name on the small whiteboard. Then Ye Zhen circled the name and drew a big cross on it. Ye Zhen, what does this mean? "Everyone knows that Columbus is a Westerner." "Born in Italy, but immigrated to Spain." "The discovery of the American continent was also accomplished under the sponsorship of the Spanish royal family." "But let me tell you, your perception all along is wrong?" "The first person to discover the American continent was not Columbus in the history books." "This is actually just a conspiracy of Western-centrism." "In fact, the first people to discover the New World in America were the Chinese." As soon as Ye Zhen said these words, it immediately caused a sensation. The staff on site were also dumbfounded. "What is Teacher Ye going to do?"
"Isn't it universally acknowledged that Columbus discovered the New World? How can this be false?" "Teacher Ye is so popular now, there is no need to do this anymore, right?" This is going to subvert everyone’s long-held understanding. Because we have been taught this way since childhood. The New World of America was discovered by Columbus. This is how it is taught in textbooks, it is also taught in extracurricular books, and this is how we learn. It has become a subconscious understanding. Just like the thought stamp, the mind control in Red Alert. Some people who came out of the traditional education system immediately started to criticize. "What is this? If it wasn't Columbus who discovered the New World, it could be you." "It's so funny that the Chinese discovered it. This is really ridiculous. It's a win, right?" "It seems that this host has never read a book. This New World was discovered by Columbus." "How can CCTV allow such a clown to appear on the show?" Obviously Ye Zhen's words were unacceptable to many people. Because this is their worldview and the education they received since childhood. Columbus was the one who discovered the New World, but Ye Zhen said that it was not Columbus who discovered the American continent. Or a Chinese? Such a populist statement is unacceptable to many people. Even some of Ye Zhen's old viewers are like this and cannot accept Ye Zhen's statement. Because this has subverted everyone's perception. Seeing that this is going to cause a broadcast accident. Someone from National Geographic came over and asked Producer Chen, "Producer Chen, is there no problem with this broadcast?" "This is challenging everyone's perception." "How come it's not Columbus who discovered the American continent?" Producer Chen was full of confidence in Ye Zhen, "No, just keep broadcasting." Producer Chen is obviously very confident. Is it any wonder?
I only saw Ye Zhen writing four words next to the crossed out name of Columbus. Monk Huishen. Monk Huishen, who is this?
This is the first time for many people to hear this name.
"These are the Chinese who discovered the American continent a thousand years earlier than Columbus." (End of this chapter)
