Propaganda and promotion against braid culture(1/2)
The fundamental reason for the backwardness of modern China is that we have lost the spirit of Confucianism and Taoism, rather than promoted it. This loss was caused by the Qing Dynasty. In order to maintain its rule, the Qing Dynasty tried its best to destroy the inherent culture, ideas and technology of China. It also implanted ignorance and numbness into our nation. The methods are so brilliant that it is unimaginable. As a result, hundreds of years later, we still stubbornly believe that backwardness comes from culture, not the Qing Dynasty. Confucius has also become the scapegoat of the Qing Dynasty. How sad.
We need to restore the original appearance of Chinese culture and retrieve the authentic Chinese culture that can give us wisdom, vision and pride. It is not those things that have long been beyond recognition.
The following is a specific analysis: First, let’s review the situation in the late Ming and late Qing dynasties.
In the 36th year of Wanli (1608), Macau fell into chaos. Cai Shanji, the magistrate of Xiangshan, learned about this and drove to Australia on bicycles, quelling the riots. Later, the "Ten Rules for the Practice of Australia" were formulated, and the Portuguese were severely punished. The Portuguese crimes could be dealt with by the Portuguese themselves. Those involved in Chinese must be handed over to Chinese officials for trial. Later, Portuguese were often sent to Guangzhou for trial and spanking.
In 1662, Zheng Chenggong defeated the Netherlands and regained Taiwan. I won’t say much more.
Some people are very disdainful: Portugal and the Netherlands are just small countries. Why not talk about Britain and France? Because in the 16th and 7th century Portugal and the Netherlands were the superpowers of the Western Ocean World. The British Industrial Revolution was in the 18th century.
The above two things may not be comprehensive, but they can also reflect the Ming Dynasty's attitude and ability towards Western powers.
I won’t talk about the Qing Dynasty, but review the unequal treaties signed by the Qing Dynasty...
Several wars have contributed all the economic achievements of China's thousands of years of development to others. How can they be endless?
A county magistrate and a local force in the Ming Dynasty could smoothly curb the Western powers. The Qing Dynasty's national strength was defeated again and again. The same nation, basically the same territory, and different go-vern-ment created completely different endings. I couldn't help but want to ask: Why is the gap between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming go-vern-ment so big?
Let’s take a look at **before the war.
1. National strength: During the Daoguang period, the Qing Dynasty had a population of 40 million, and its GDP accounted for about 30% of the world. It was obvious that it was an Eastern power. Britain had not yet become the "sun does not set" and its GDP accounted for about 5% of the world.
2. Military: Britain had few soldiers, while the Qing army had many soldiers; Britain's rear was too far away, and the Qing Dynasty fought on its own.
3. Forces: In June 1840, the British Yilu led an invading army of only 4,000 people and more than 40 ships were shipped.
4. Weapons: Although the Navy used steam engines to equip the weapons, many of them were sailboats; although the Army used breech-loaded muskets and artillery, they were more advanced than the Qing army, and were not as big as the gap later.
There are many examples of weak defeating strong in history. The objective conditions of the Qing Dynasty were pretty good, but they could win, but they were defeated. What is the root cause? Don’t talk about textbooks.
China has been leading the trend for thousands of years, but suddenly it has fallen behind and is still a mess. Isn’t it puzzling? If you are interested, explore it with me. Of course, we have to find answers to historical questions in history.
Learn about the truth about the Kangxi and Qianlong era.
There is really nothing to say before Kangxi. There is nothing to say. Besides killing, it is also killing. Let’s start with Kangxi.
Kangxi was an amazing person: he captured Oboi, pacified the Three Feudals, recaptured Taiwan, conquered Yaxa, defeated Galdan, governed the Yellow River and Huai River, and learned modern technology. At first glance, he had great achievements and outstanding achievements, and he was like a great monarch. Is this really the case?
Who has the final say whether the monarch is great or not? What is the standard for measuring the monarch? If this standard is not chosen well, there will be problems. I think whether the monarch is great depends on: the monarch's contribution to the country and nation, not the monarch's personal ability.
Let’s analyze the big things Kangxi did one by one to understand the truth.
The wisdom of capturing Oboi shows that Kangxi is very capable. However, this has nothing to do with greatness. It is just a battle for imperial power within the Qing Dynasty, and only the actual leaders of the country have changed. This is Kangxi's fight for himself, and it does not involve the contributions of the country and nation, and has nothing to do with the people.
To pacify the Three Feudalists, it was even more important to maintain the imperial power. Kangxi and Wu Sangui competed to be the boss, but they fought hard. The war was still a war initiated by Kangxi. (War dealers?) This was just a local go-vern-ment and the central go-vern-ment, and it had nothing to do with contributions. During the war, many ordinary people suffered disasters and died. Kangxi finally won, because his methods were better than Wu Sangui, which showed that he was indeed capable. There was no tribute involved.
Offering naturally has nothing to do with greatness. Some people may say: At least Kangxi maintained the integrity of the territory. Isn’t it considered a contribution? Good question, I would like to say: This has nothing to do with greatness. It’s not that I am stubborn or prejudiced. Think about it: If Wu Sangui wins, will he allow division? It definitely won’t. In other words, no matter who wins in this war, the country will be intact and there is no possibility of division. Therefore, your point of view is not true. This is essentially different from Tsarist Russia’s split Xinjiang.
I really don’t want to say that the Qing Dynasty regained Taiwan. The situation at that time was completely different from now.
Then came the Battle of Jaxa. This battle took place during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, when the Qing go-vern-ment had the strongest combat power. Tsarist Russia invested only more than 800 troops, and it was still an expedition. The ammunition and food were limited. It was far from the huge and tragic scale that everyone imagined. The Qing army was several times larger than the Tsarist Russian army, and it enjoyed good equipment. The water and land armies attacked at the same time, and it took more than half a year to complete the battle. This kind of battle (not considered a war at all) and the
What's so proud of? Hum! In the 28th year of Kangxi (1689 AD), China and Russia signed the Treaty of Nebchu and gave 1.5 million square kilometers of Siberia to Russia, which brought about a hundred years of stability. This is the battle between Kangxi and Jaxar that everyone is proud of. I wonder why historians are so popular, and they are really misleading. Is this what the legendary literati wrote? Please don't deceive yourself.
Kangxi and Qianlong genocide of the Junggar tribe in Mongolia in northern Mongolia, which was so cruel that it was rare.
Something happened in the Yellow River and Huai River after a few years. Which dynasty has not been managed? If you catch up, you will manage it by the way. How can such matters be related to greatness? When Emperor Wanli, who had not been to court for 30 years, he also managed the floods of the Yellow River and was well managed. I don’t know? So, some things are not what everyone thinks. His head is on his neck, so don’t be manipulated by others.
Then came Kangxi's diligence and studious enthusiasm.
Kangxi was almost as studious as Peter the Great of the same time. However, Peter extended his interest in technology across the country, making Russia rapidly become stronger. Kangxi's personal interest in technology was only a personal interest, and this interest also had political motivation. He wanted the Han ministers to see: how capable and wise he was, and the Manchus were not barbarians. This was the motivation for Kangxi to learn technology.
During the Kangxi period, Dai Zi invented the 28 consecutive firearms, and Kangxi abandoned them. He also said: "Because Manchu has always been accustomed to riding and shooting, he should not specialize in shooting, but abandon his bow and arrows. If someone is familiar with the gun and arrow, he will be more than good. Later, the genius Dai Zi was exiled to the army outside the gate. This is the way Kangxi suppressed technology.
In the late Qing Dynasty, Zuo Zongtang suppressed the rebellion in the northwest and excavated more than a hundred flowering bullets from a Ming Dynasty fort site. He couldn't help but sigh to the sky: "This thing already existed in China three hundred years ago, but it has been lost now and even bullied by the great powers. "See? This is the evil that Kangxi did. Not only did he not develop technology, but he suppressed technology; not only did he not make progress, but he retreated. This is the essence of the hero in the minds of many people.
I am not afraid of not knowing the goods, but I am afraid of comparing goods. By the way, I compare Kangxi and Louis XIV of the same era.
Let’s take a look at the personal situation first.
Louis XIV was extravagant; he was keen on ballet; he was not interested in participating in any scientific activities; he hoped to become a European overlord like Alexander. At first glance, it was a bit ridiculous, and people who were ignorant liked to dream.
Kangxi was frugal and diligent throughout his life; he was very knowledgeable about Western learning; he regarded Dayu as his idol of governing the country. He looked very good.
Then there were the actions of the two.
Louis XIV strongly supported the popularization of science in the country. He accepted the advice of the minister and established the French Academy of Sciences, the French Academy of Architecture and the French Comedy. His members enjoyed the king's allowance and their research activities were funded. Kangxi of the contemporary era was busy carrying out the throne to maintain the legitimacy of the Manchu rule.
Louis XIV launched a large number of foreign wars and created a prosperous France. Kangxi Rezhong made achievements in the internal war and had only had conflicts with Russia. In the face of Russia's small Far East Army, Kangxi took great pains to deal with it.
In order to develop overseas trade and expand overseas colonies, Louis XIV opened the country's doors wide and strengthened the connection between France and Europe and the world; Kangxi was hesitant for a long time on the issue of opening the sea and banning the sea, and finally ended with a ban on the sea. The ban on the sea not only caused China's shipbuilding technology to decline, but also led to bizarre things: the late Ming Dynasty had a considerable understanding of world geography, but no one knew where Europe was in the late Qing Dynasty (there were other reasons: the destruction of relevant geography and scientific books, etc.). Some people would say: The Ming Dynasty also banned the sea, so why did it only say that the Qing Dynasty was not? Good question, we will talk later.
After comparing Kangxi with Louis XIV, we found an amazing fact: the emperor's personal ability and achievements are not proportional. The emperor's personal ability does not seem to be very important. What is important is vision and excellent auxiliary talents.
In his later years, Kangxi was forbidden to discuss astronomical omens and calendar research. Because these contents involved the legitimacy of the Qing Dynasty. In 1715, Kangxi also banned relevant contents in the imperial examination. In the past two years, the provincial examination and the provincial examination had banned astronomy, musical rules and calculation methods. In this way, ** became a basic national policy of the Qing Dynasty. With one person's strength, he successfully changed the interests of examiners and scholars for hundreds of years. He was extremely capable. The seeds of ignorance and incompetence in the late Qing Dynasty were sown by Kangxi. This was also one of the reasons for the backwardness of modern China.
Suddenly I realized that it is not necessarily a good thing for the emperor to do. Sometimes, it may even become a disaster for certain ethnic groups.
By the way, I have always been scolded by everyone, the so-called dark Ming Dynasty.
The lazy emperor of the Ming Dynasty should be Emperor Wanli. Not attending court for 30 years is a unique scenery in history. If you know that this happened when the imperial power and the civil service system had a violent conflict and the imperial power was suppressed, not attending court was a passive confrontation of Emperor Wanli. What do you think? How is the imperial power being suppressed? Doesn’t it mean that the imperial power is very dark and autocratic? Yes, it has been so autocratic that the imperial power has been suppressed! Is it incredible? Indeed, at the beginning, I couldn’t believe it. This is completely different from the impression in my mind. Later I learned that I was brainwashed before. When the imperial power was suppressed, Emperor Wanli did not kill him because his ministers were against him.
One person is not a job without going to court. Many big and small things during the Wanli period were handled by Emperor Wanli. The big ones, such as the three major battles of Wanli (Quansheng), especially the Ming Dynasty's war to aid Korea and expel Japanese wars, were always carried out with the care and support of Wanli. The small ones, such as Matteo Ricci, came to Beijing to preach and build churches, were all carried out smoothly under the inquiries of Wanli. The Eastern and Western civilizations were exchanged, and Wanli played a considerable role. (Incredible?) By the way, Lin Zexu was "the first person to open his eyes to the world", which is actually a joke. Except for the Qing Dynasty, China was open all dynasties. How could the real first person go to the Qing Dynasty? Lin Zexu was just the first person to see the world in the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty was limited, and the cabinet was very mature. Many major national affairs were handled by the cabinet. The cabinet boss was called the chief minister, similar to the current prime minister or prime minister. Most of these cabinet members were well-educated, respected, and extremely smart people (sometimes there were some bastards). The efforts of these people became the lazy capital of the Ming emperor. This is why some emperors in the Ming Dynasty were not diligent but their institutions could operate normally.
In the past, in various dynasties, including the Ming Dynasty, there was also a "Daotong". The officials of the Ming Dynasty were proud to believe that they had the Daotong, so they often argued with the emperor. Officials often did not look at problems by the emperor's standards, and often argued with the emperor in the court. Sometimes the emperor was so angry that he would slapped the ministers in the butt. Even so, these officials remained unrestrained. Because, while being punished by the emperor, they received another kind of honor - the entire country and the entire cultural circle believed that the ministers were right, but the emperor was wrong. This is: I love the truth more. Why do so many people praise Aristotle, but no one wants to know their ancestors? Inferiority comes from ignorance.
The Qing Dynasty learned this lesson and through various efforts, it brought the Taoist dynasty into the hands of the emperor. In history, there was only one dynasty that achieved the unity of Taoist dynasty and rule.
How did the Qing Dynasty realize it?
First of all: The emperor strongly advocated Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. This is not new, but the degree has increased a lot and too much. Scholars are familiar with the eight-legged essays, just to get through the science and deaf ears. The techniques and ideas of enriching the country and strengthening the army are rarely involved, which greatly imprisoned the thoughts of scholars. The wisdom and conscience of scholars are gone, how can the country be good? The seeds of incompetence and ignorance in the late Qing Dynasty were sown. (Although the Ming Dynasty also advocated Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, its influence was limited.)
Secondly: Insulting and defaming the personality of famous scholars, they were disgraced and they were not qualified to regard themselves as famous scholars. Don’t expect them to compete with the emperor like the officials of the Ming Dynasty. In the 33rd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi summoned Hanlin officials to write an essay. Topic: The theory of authenticity of Neo-Confucianism. Be an examiner himself, and Hanlin officials are candidates. Humili, these literati who regard themselves as talented, including his teacher Xiong Cilu and some famous scholars who have passed away. They scolded these people as fake Taoism, and at the same time denounced famous scholars of the world with the majesty of the emperor. Tell people: Those who truly understand Taoism are the emperor, and the truth is the emperor.
In hand! The ministers lost their Taoist throne and lost the trump card to check and balance the imperial power. The unity of the rule and Taoist throne made the Qing Dynasty the most autocratic dynasty in history (many people thought: other dynasties were the same, so they scolded their ancestors. It was wrong to expand the Qing Dynasty to a history of 5,000 years). The civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty called themselves slaves, called their masters, and kept talking about the emperor's wiseness, and just came out like this. No one dared to compete with the emperor. How can the emperor not be wise? The slaves also came out by the way. What the slaves need is obedience, not talent.
Finally, of course, it was beheaded. The Ming Dynasty could tolerate Hai Rui who scolded the emperor, and the Qing Dynasty could not tolerate Jin Shengtan who cried in the temple. Whether it was autocratic or not, it was clearly manifested here. In the early years of Kangxi, Zhuang Tinglong compiled the "History of Ming Dynasty", and the Zhuangjia was exterminated. There were many such things, so if you are interested, please find relevant information by yourself. Those who are interested were almost killed. If you do this, how can you not be ignorant and not be backward? No wonder Japan would laugh at us. In addition, the Manchu law stipulates that those who have more than 30 Han people will be punished for crimes of treason. This is the first time in ancient times, and the Manchus really have pioneering spirit!
In a word: Kangxi is a capable person, but he is not a good emperor. It can even be said that Kangxi is a very bad emperor! So, who is considered a great emperor? In ancient China, there were many great emperors. If you are interested, learn about Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, a forgotten person.
After looking at Kangxi, let’s take a look at Qianlong.
During the Qianlong period, the ** reached its peak, with more than 160 cases. At least one hundred people were involved, and at most ten thousand people were involved. Thoughts were so imprisoned that even cultural technology could not develop normally. The text was full of meaning, far-fetched, and stolen. Even the words of some lunatics were deemed to be executed as a counter-case, which was extremely ridiculous.
Liu Sanyuan was crazy. One day, he said to someone: I am a descendant of the Han Dynasty and asked for support from all officials. As a result, he was killed. A madman lost his head with a crazy word.
Wang Xihou was dissatisfied with the words of the "Kangxi Dictionary" as a family. It took seventeen years to compile a novel dictionary: the name Guan. Because the dictionary contains the temple taboos of Kangxi and Yongzheng and the name of Qianlong, Qianlong was furious: he ordered Wang Xihou to be executed, six descendants were executed, and the whole family was 21, and his wife, daughter-in-law and underage son were slaves.
Yin Jiaquan called himself an old man in his seventies. Qianlong said: I called him an old man in his seventies, and he had already informed the world. How could he dare to call himself an old man in his seventies? Hang. (I don’t have any cultivation or mind, and I am also called Shiquan Old Man.)
Xu Jun has passed away. In his posthumous book "Yizhulou Poem", it says: I suddenly saw the emperor of Ming and threw Hu'er halfway. Qianlong believed that Hu'er was Hu'er, slandered the court and mocked the Qing Dynasty for being uneducated. As a result, Xu Jun was cut off the coffin and killed the corpse, and all his children and grandchildren and local officials were beheaded.
These are real things that happened to our ancestors. They are not stories, but accidents, tragedies.
There are so many such things. If you are interested, please check the information yourself. Then let’s take a look at the Siku Complete Book revised by the Qianlong Dynasty.
The "Siku Quanshu" library was opened in the 38th year of Qianlong, and all books across the country were to be inspected. In the 39th year of Qianlong, the provinces ordered the provinces to seize the books that "slandered the dynasty" and destroyed them. In the 40th year of Qianlong, the ministers of the Siku Pavilion were ordered to make careful decisions on the books they collected, so that all the words were elegant and justified. Not only were the documents that were not conducive to the Qing Dynasty banned and destroyed, but even the texts involving Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolia, Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties had to be tampered with by the predecessors. More than 3,000 banned books were seized, and more than 150,000 were burned, and more than 700,000 were burned. (Qianlong thought to himself: What is Qin Shihuang? How dare you compare with me?) The banned and destroyed books and the books collected by Siku
As many. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the works of Huang Daozhou, Zhang Huangyan, Yuan Jixian, Qian Sule, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Sun Qifeng and others all became banned books. Historian Wu Han said: The Qing people compiled the "Siku Quanshu" and ancient books were destroyed! (The history and wisdom of China are all in ancient books) The only thing that survived was Chinese characters. The Qing Dynasty was more sinister, despicable and vicious than the foreign rulers of the previous generations. Lu Xun said: The first thing that reminded me of the boundaries between the Manchu and Han was not books, but braids, which cut off many of the heads of our ancients. This was the only way to see that we had knowledge.
At that time, everyone had long forgotten the history of blood. "The Art of Heaven and the Art of Physics", "A Brief Knowledge of the People", "The History of Wu Bei", "Biography of the Ming General", etc. are very useful books that record the scientific achievements of the Ming Dynasty in China and were also listed as banned books by the Qing Dynasty. Wu Sangui's "Anti-Manchu Proclamation", "Ten Diaries of Yangzhou", and "A Brief Record of the Massacre of the City in Jiading" disappeared in China for more than 200 years. It was only after more than 200 years that it was found from Japan. This was how the Qing Dynasty castrated China's glorious technology and splendid culture, and brought China back to the dark and ignorant situation of the Middle Ages in Europe. Is there no thoughts, culture, technology, and later money was gone.
After a thousand years, he was defeated to primitive society. How can he not be ignorant and not lag behind? No wonder the Japanese mocked: China's development for 5,000 years is not as good as Japan's development for 50 years. While Chinese civilization was destroyed, the Qing Dynasty also lost the cornerstone of prosperity and progress. It is not difficult to understand that the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were said to be diligent in their work, but ended up losing power and humiliating the country. This is probably unexpected by the rulers of the early Qing Dynasty. In less than a few years, the entire Qing Dynasty became, and in the war, people saw the virtue of ignorance, numbness, distortion and slavery. Until now, it has not been much better.
"Siku Quanshu" is nominally intended to integrate ancient and modern classics, but in fact it is a thorough purge of Chinese culture. The more than 60 years of Qianlong's rule was the darkest era of Chinese culture. There are many palace operas in the Qing Dynasty, all of which are praises and praises. Every time I see this, I feel sad. How many people have illusions about history, their impacts and consequences, alas...
If you want to destroy the country, you should first go to the history. The Qing Dynasty thoroughly and meticulously cleansed and tampered with Chinese culture in order to prevent the real records of the Ming Dynasty from being passed down. Some things that can vilify the Ming Dynasty were fully exaggerated to demonize the Ming Dynasty. This is why everyone misunderstood the Ming Dynasty. When it is fake, it is also true. Today, hundreds of years later, people still believe that this dynasty was an unattainable prosperous era in the previous dynasty, and the emperor was also a rare saint. The Qing Dynasty's ability to tamper with history was unprecedented. Khan... During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Japan promoted slave education in Northeast my country exactly the same as the Qing Dynasty. The Japanese once said: There is no need to care about the cruel means of conquering China. Because after conquering China, Hideki Tojo was no longer a massacre, but Genghis Khan and ** Haci of China. It seems that the Japanese have indeed studied China's history in depth, and then Khan...
Why did the Qing Dynasty do this? Because the Jurchen people are only one million or a barbarian nation (without their own civilization). When facing the vast China, psychological weakness is self-evident. In order to maintain their rule, they started with the cultural and national confidence of the Han people and destroyed the cornerstone of the self-confidence and ability of the Han people. The Han people became ignorant and slavery, which made them easier for them to rule. This was the purpose of the Qing Dynasty's efforts to vilify and distort the Han government and history, and it was also the purpose of the **. The Han people were used to being slaves, so they could be their masters with confidence. The ignorance and slavery of the Chinese people were planted by the Qing Dynasty. However, the repeated periods of the late Qing Dynasty
The repeated defeats in the war were not only behind the backwardness, but largely the Qing Dynasty was unwilling to win. In the war, the Qing Dynasty used Qishan to reliably accuse Lin Zexu, and the later Sino-French battle that "France won without victory, China was defeated without defeat", which clearly showed the intentions of the Qing Dynasty. The Sanyuanli resistance to Britain even showed that Britain was not as powerful as imagined. The Qing Dynasty aristocrats said, "Once the Han people are strong, the Manchus will perish." Even in the face of national crisis, the Qing Dynasty was the first to be wary of the Han people, not friendly countries. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the fact that "it is better to be with friendly countries than with family slaves".
Statement: I am not a nationalist, and I also hope that all ethnic groups will live in harmony, and there is no intention to hurt anyone. But this is a fact and has a significant impact, so I must say it.
As for the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong, the Qing Dynasty ranked first in the world, which was attributed to China's strong foundation. In the past, China's national strength was the world's first, not the first in the Qing Dynasty. The total economic output of the Ming Dynasty accounted for 45% of the world, and the Qing Dynasty accounted for about 30%. This is just quantity. If quality (technology, culture, thought, etc.), then the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are even more incomparable.
During the Chongzhen period of the late Ming Dynasty, the total number of arable land in China was 7.83 million hectares. In the 16th year of Shunzhi, the total number of arable land in China was 5.49 million hectares. In the 31st year of Qianlong, it reached 7.41 million hectares, which was close to the end of the Ming Dynasty.
In the late Ming Dynasty, the missionary Matteo Ricci's "Notes on China" recorded China: the material production here is extremely rich, with everything, sugar is whiter than Europe, and cloth is more exquisite... People dressed in a gorgeous manner, elegant manner, the people are happy, polite, and elegant in conversation. Macartney, a British envoy who visited during the Qianlong period, said: There are amazing poverty everywhere... Many people have no clothes to wear... The army is as tattered like beggars.
This is the essence of the Kangxi and Qianlong era.
The Qing Dynasty, a dynasty that reached its peak of autocracy and cruelty, had long lost its foundation for survival. The traditional Chinese official's idea of speaking out and speaking out for his words and writing straightforwardly was completely destroyed. Later, it was bullied and ravaged by the powers of the East and West, and the inferiority and charm of the Chinese people also emerged. After being conquered and enslaved for too long, they entered the subconscious and formed habits. Until now, there were still so many cheap bones that they could not do, but they believed that their ancestors and culture were in trouble. They ignored the splendid culture and glorious civilization.
Look at it now:
So many people are proud of getting foreign green cards; so many female celebrities are proud of marrying foreigners; so many people are willing to be slaves of Western capitalists; so many... have fully demonstrated the inferiority of Chinese people and fawning on foreign countries. This is wrong.
The spaceship is on the sky and the Beijing Olympics, so many people are paying attention to it, why? Just gain a little bit of pride. This is not enough. (The boy is crazy enough, and his tone is too big.)
So, how can we be enough? Search. Only by finding the source of our nation's wisdom and pride can we fundamentally change the status quo and gain the pride of our nation.
Mrs. Thatcher once said: "China cannot become a super power. Because China does not have an internationally contagious theory (idea) that can promote itself and weaken Western countries. "It is really a big deal and worthy of a generation of heroes. She also reminds the Chinese people: Super powers require leadership temperament, and nations that ignore national wisdom are difficult to take on great responsibilities.
The Qing Dynasty has become history, so let it go. However, reflecting and finding that reorganizing one's business is a must. Unfortunately, no one has done it for so long. No one has done it. If everyone doesn't do it, let me, a little person who overestimates his abilities. The Buddha said: If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?
Below are some situations in the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.
Chinese culture reached its peak in the Tang and Song dynasties. When the cultural achievements of the Ming Dynasty, you can see the Ming Dynasty part of the "100 books that influenced China". The Qing Dynasty was completely a cultural desert. Only one great work was produced in more than 260 years: Dream of Red Mansions. The content still reveals the corruption of the Qing Dynasty. In order to avoid the **, Cao Xueqin expressed it in the form of a novel.
In the Ming Dynasty, which had relatively strict thoughts compared to the Tang and Song dynasties, there were endless thinkers: Wang Shouren, Li Zhi, Wang Tingxiang, Gu Xiancheng, Lu Kun, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and others. The birth of great figures must be accompanied by great wisdom. However, in the land of China for 260 years, there was no thinker. The Qing Dynasty had no thoughts, but suppressed the Han people. It made China's thoughts blank for nearly three hundred years. (No wonder it was ridiculed) Until now, the Chinese people have not yet awakened, and there is no greater sorrow than this.
To be continued...
