"In 905 AD, Zhu Wen conquered Xiangyang, and Zhao Kuangning lost to Yang Xingmi..." With the explanation, icons marked by historical figures moved on the map of ancient China, intuitively showing the audience the elements of time, people, places, events, etc. Yang Lihui, the Tiktok history blogger, produced a 26 hour video of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period history interpretation collection, but the broadcast volume exceeded 50 million, and it received 888000 likes, 123000 comments and 377000 collections, which is quite unusual on the Tiktok platform, which is dominated by short videos. ▲ Image source: Purple Bull Headline Video Screenshot "Boy, I owe China Mobile a house after watching a video" - This comment with over 50000 likes is certainly a joke from netizens. The functions of liking, sharing, commenting, and barrage in short videos have strong social attributes, further expanding the audience range of knowledge dissemination and helping excellent content "go viral". Yu Gengzhe, a professor at the Bunka Gakuin of History, Shaanxi Normal University, said happily: "In the era of fragmented reading, there are still people who are very interested in systematic knowledge." In the ocean of fragmented reading, high-quality and ultra long videos have become scarce resources. "What's your misunderstanding of short videos?" "Listen to sleep, wake up and see more than ten hours" Behind the comments from netizens who received tens of thousands of likes, it is not only a mockery of Yang Lihui's 26 hour long "short video", but also a recognition of his content quality. The previously obscure knowledge points in historical books are processed through multimedia means and presented in a vivid way to the audience, activating their potential thirst for knowledge. Yang Lihui told reporters that no research had been done before the super long video was posted on Tiktok, and it was unknown whether it would be accepted by users of the short video platform: "The idea before the release of the 26 hour video was for fans to collect and watch slowly, and it was unexpected that there would be such a large amount of play." The unexpected popularity, however, has a realistic rationality: there are not many videos on the Internet about the popularization of knowledge in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. In 2019, Yang Lihui saw a very subjective and flawed analysis of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period on the Internet, So he came up with the idea of becoming a history blogger: "Someone asked me why I have such deep feelings for the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period and the mid and late Tang Dynasty history? I really didn't think about it. I just think that someone needs to do it. The ancients would spend time writing Zizhi Tongjian, and in the Internet era, people need to transform books into the form that modern people like to see." Because of the difference between ancient and modern place names, contemporary people are often troubled by the place names when reading Zizhi Tongjian, I don't know where the historical events in the ancient books occurred, which became a breakthrough point for Yang Lihui - he decided to use maps to present the changes in history. By referring to historical books, conference proceedings, and county chronicles, Yang Lihui accurately reproduced the life trajectory of historical figures in the form of animation, and also provided the audience with a clear grasp of the historical context. Yang Lihui told reporters, "My videos usually take about 15 minutes to tell one or two stories. I put together each video to create this 26 hour video." Love is the strongest motivation, and audience support is the best encouragement. Traditional long videos rely more on group warfare
