@whigzhou: When you find a sudden increase in the records of a certain type of bad things in a certain period of time in the historical records, don’t take it for granted that the frequency of such things has suddenly increased. The actual situation is often the opposite. The situation in this field may be rapidly Improvement, this improvement has raised people’s expectations, and things that used to be used to become eye-catching, dazzling, unsightly, and even unbearable, so new cases have been widely concerned and discussed, which in turn prompts people to search for more similar cases, So these things have a better chance of being recorded in the literature,
Broadly speaking, this is why the golden age, which is admired by every posterity, was so badly written by the literati at that time that it seemed like the end of the world.
And what does the true Dark Ages look like in the literature?
It’s silence, silence, blankness…
