Kyle Poirot died in Venice. this

At the age of 70, the traveler insisted on his death.

All narratives in the East are "childlike innocence".

This is all true.

Last time I saw Kyle Poirot's priest.

Said that the old Poirot's dying struggle showed that he did not cheat.

"He said is the people of the city-state, he just didn't put the other.

Tell only half of what you have seen and heard. "

Father Nicio wanted Kyle Poirot to admit that,

His travel books are full of rubbish.

Kyle Poirot left his birthplace-Venice at the age of 17. After traveling for 25 years, he is only 29 years old.

Years ago (1295), I came back with a pile of wealth and oriental stories. He told people in his hometown,

He lived, traveled and even became an official in the Mongolian Empire for most of his life.

The world's largest empire, built by horses and wild herders, has spread all over the country.

Large areas of Asia and Eastern Europe. But before Kelpolo, Europeans knew little about it.

The eastern "concept" of the church is that it is either empty or inhabited by wild animals.

And demons. Of course, in the eyes of ordinary Christians, dealing with the devil is the fall of the soul.

Kyle Poirot brought back a completely different version. As the first footprint across Asia,

Lu is a European. He told his fellow villagers that Mongolian Khan is not terrible, and he also hopes to talk directly with him.

European trade. More importantly, China, the foundation of the Khan regime, is far away in Europe.

Civilization on the European continent.

These oriental stories are mainly written in Kyle Poirot's travels. The book * * * four volumes, q

After the world, it was translated and published in large quantities, becoming the best-selling travel notes in the Middle Ages, which had the greatest influence on Europeans.

Works.

Of course, travel notes have also caused a lot of controversy. Some Venetians said, "That was when he was in Persia.

I heard it at the business camp. "At that time, doing business in Persia was the end.

Yes

Pompiri, who sells fruit near Saint Kyle Square, recalled, "When Kyle returned to Venice,

Nobody knows him, and nobody believes him. Look at him in Tatar clothes, saying he's taking a risk.

Yes But then he took out the treasure, and everyone had to believe it. "

At that time, Kyle Poirot's "Oriental Expo" exhibited ivory, jade, porcelain,

Silk and paper money, etc. The news quickly caused a sensation. He told the Venetians, "Anyone.

As long as you are willing to pay the price and venture to the far east, you can learn from gold, jewelry, silk.

And make huge profits in the spice trade. "

Whether it is exaggerated or not, many local people are really curious about the East, or they are already rich.

Dreaming.

Although the boatman Perrin can't read and hasn't read travel notes, he tells stories and his heart itches.

"If I were a teenager, I would definitely try my luck in the East."

It's not just Venetians who admire Kyle Poirot. An Arab who arrived soon with a spice boat.

Businessmen privately say that using the Silk Road is a privilege granted to Arabs by Mongols. If Venice

Direct trade with China is not good for them. However, he said that his obsession with Kyle Poirot,

And his adventurous and enterprising spirit. He said, "You know, start here.

China, it will take years to take a trip! "

Europeans regard pepper as a luxury, but Hangzhou people consume 4740 kilograms a day, which is simply

"paradise on earth"! In addition, he said that there are 65438+2000 stone bridges in the city, which can be under the bridge.

Overtake the big ship! Imagine, how can people in Venice, a water town, swallow this tone?

There are more than 100 Asian cities mentioned in the travel notes, and many descriptions have surprised Europeans.

If China also has The Journey to the West.

Kyle Poirot cheated the Venetians?

Probably no travel book can cause so many centuries of debate. Today, there are still pregnancies.

Skeptics, such as British book scholar Wood, said, "The story is wonderful, but ... like many."

Great historical legends are myths. "

She said, "If Kyle Poirot has really been to China, why is the most important thing like the Great Wall?"

Tea, chopsticks, Chinese characters, women who tie their feet ... all missed? "

Some scholars have also consulted China's literature. Their biggest question is: the records of China historians.

It's as detailed as keeping a diary, but Kyle Poirot has never even seen his name.

Expand that geographical and spiritual horizons of European.

However, these views can't change the orthodox view that Kyle Poirot did go to China.

Can not change the fact that travel notes expanded the geographical and spiritual horizons of Europeans in the Middle Ages.

Before Kelpolo, Venetians thought they were the Mediterranean, even the whole Christianity.

The richest city-state in the world; It's called "underground sea", but what is the center of the world?

But the great traveler pointed out that the East has greater civilization and power.

Center, plus some exaggerated narrative, his travel inspired Europeans for centuries.

Oriental complex. Many people began to flock to the East and learn from it, which changed Europe.

When they began to make their mark in science, technology, industry and military affairs, they knew far more about the world than themselves.

There are competitors.

In fact, the first accurate map of Asia owned by Europeans was a reference to Kyle Polo.

Travel notes Some people think that imperialism and Orientalism were born on the same day! but

Kyle Poirot is the initiator of all this "one-way learning".

Here are two fantastic ideas. One is: if Kyle Poirot doesn't see "the sky can be seen right away"

Mongolian Empire, but the earlier weak Song Dynasty, or the later closed and rigid Ming Dynasty,

Didn't the west wait until the ship was strong and the guns were strong before fighting the opium war? In modern China,

Will the process of history be greatly advanced?

Second, the once-in-a-lifetime Kyle Poirot was not a Venetian, but was born in Hangzhou or Beijing.

.

/kloc-in the 0/5th century, Zheng He went to the Western Ocean as far as Africa. Suppose Europeans engage in the Renaissance.

Xing, the Great Navigation or the Industrial Revolution, wrote a true one by "Kyle Polo of China".

The Journey to the West spoke positively about China's great power, inspiring China people to walk out of isolation and go to the world.

The world history of recent centuries may also need to be rewritten.

It is China's regret to lose his own Kyle Polo.

In a word, it is a pity that China doesn't have its own Kelpolo. When the cannon hit the door,

It is too late for Wei Yuan's Atlas of the Seas to "control foreign countries with foreign countries".

Starting from Kelpolo, the tilt angle began to reverse on the balance of eastern and western civilizations. no

No matter whether Venice and even the whole Europe were deceived, they "Columbus changed geography, Kyle Bo"

It is true that Luo changed history.

Make up for the omission

Kyle Poirot brought glasses and ice cream?

When I visited Venice in the14th century, I was most surprised to find that glasses had been produced locally.

According to the elders, this kind of "glass" was also brought by Kyle Polo from the East.

Oh, Kyle Poirot again.

By the way, the advent of glasses has a great influence on future generations. One of the ideas is that

It ensures that "the world is not ruled by young people under 40". (Germany)

Europeans want to thank Kyle Poirot. There seems to be a lot more.

For example, Venetians have never seen China pigment, a colorful painting material, especially horses.

But what Porokin and they saw.

China people were the first to use paper money. Precious gold, tin and copper coins are still in use.

The Venetians were also surprised.

Besides, if Kyle Poirot didn't bring back China's formula, modern Italians would be poor.

You can't enjoy delicious pasta and ice cream when you order it.

Future human language: the distance between east and west continents is very close

Kyle Poirot's Knowledge of the East has brought a brand-new world of knowledge to Europeans. Eujida

It broke many suspicions and religious fallacies and aroused Europeans' yearning for the East. Since then, two continents have emerged.

Distance, start to close.

Many valuable maps in the Middle Ages were made with reference to travel notes. There are many descendants in Europe

The great navigator was inspired and encouraged by Kyle Poirot.

In fact, the discovery of the American continent was an accident, because Golan, a loyal reader of Travels.

Cloth's original destination was wealthy China. At that time, Europeans thought that the east of China was vast.

The vast ocean, and the other side of the ocean, is the hometown of Europe.
