Chen Weiping wrote about children's world history 4, mainly writing about the history of Rome, Greece and Persia in the Mediterranean from 750 BC to 400 BC.
The people and events that appeared in this had a huge impact on the cultural development of Europe, West Asia, and even the whole world.
This history also produces three philosophers and thinkers who are very familiar to everyone, namely Socrates, then his student Plato, and his student Aristotle. There are many very interesting stories about them that children can see for themselves.
Here to share with you a few of the small knowledge points:
1. The establishment of the city of Rome
There is a proverb that goes like this: The city of Rome was not built in a day.
Tell people to do things in order and not to rush into action.
But do you know when the real city of Rome was founded?
The answer is that in 753 BC, the city of Rome began to be built and became a real city.
So the city of Rome has a history of nearly 3,000 years to this day.
There are many legends about the city of Rome, the most famous of which is the story of a she-wolf and two children, the older brother named Romulus and the younger brother named Remus, the founder of the Roman city.
Second, the different attitudes of the city of Rome towards its enemies and its own civilians
Like all other peoples on earth, the Romans have experienced many wars, but for the defeated, the Romans never say surrender, but say join us, and we will treat you like brothers.
For the Romans knew that one more friend is one less enemy.
This view is not the same as our Tang Dynasty.
Before the Tang Dynasty, from the Zhou Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, to the Southern and Northern Dynasties; after the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were all regarded as enemies of the nomadic peoples in the northwest, and the nomadic peoples have always been constantly invading the Central Plains.
But when the Tang Dynasty was treating these enemies, they had a different attitude, they treated them like friends, they had tolerance, even from farther away, even foreign countries, such as Japan, Korea, Persia and even Vietnam, they were like friends, entertaining them, and even making them officials, so that the Tang Dynasty could build a great Tang Dynasty. Only then can Datang's ideas, architecture and culture spread to all parts of the world.
The Romans, who did the same, gained a lot, when the Romans were once defeated by the Gauls. Friends around Rome also helped them.
Although the Romans were very kind to their external friends, there were also some contradictions within them, and there were some crises between the Roman nobles and the Roman commoners.
Here's a story of limbs and stomach. The stomach refers to the Roman nobility and the limbs refer to the commoners. If the limbs and the stomach fight, the tired limbs that run all day will point to the stomach and say: We work hard every day to find food, and you do nothing, you will only sit back and enjoy it, it is too unfair, so refuse to provide any food to the stomach, that is, the stomach is starved to death, and the stomach is starved to death, and the limbs are paralyzed, through this story, roman commoners and Roman nobles know that they want to coexist in harmony, thus continuing the glory of Rome.
3. Famous marathons
The famous marathon originated at this time.
It's a very inspirational story when the Athenians were at war with the Persians. The battle took place about 42 kilometers from the city of Athens, a plain called the Marathon, and when the Athenians were defeated, a fast soldier was called back to the city of Athens from the Marathon to deliver the good news. When he reached Athens after running 42 kilometers and conveying the news of victory, he fell to the ground, and later in his honor, Athens held a race called the Marathon, which is now popular all over the world.
