There is no time to sigh over the decline of civilization in the Middle East. After the second industrial revolution, many civilizations have declined, and it is not just the Middle East.
Xiao Letian looked at Wan Huaiyuan's face hungry for knowledge and could only answer his question with a long sigh.
"Whether Chinese civilization will perish or continue forever is not part of my prophecy, it depends on what we people will do in the future!"
"If we don't work hard, no matter how powerful the civilization is, it will not get the carrier it deserves... that is, the people. Without the carrier, civilization can only continue to lie dormant!"
At this point, Xiao Letian suddenly asked a question, "Have you ever heard of the saying that there will be no China after Yashan?"
Wang Huaiyuan was stunned and nodded, "I heard students talking about it, it should be a poem written by Qian Qianyi, right? It's a pity that I haven't read those things..."
"Yes, it is a poem written by Qian Qianyi. The original intention is to commemorate the Han people who died in the Battle of Yashan... But this sentence really spread because of the Japanese. Almost everyone in Fuso knows this sentence. talk……"
"Why? The reason is very simple, because it is beneficial for the Japanese to promote that there will be no China after Yashan! Because the Japanese have always boasted that their civilization has never been interrupted. This is their pride!"
"And where did Japan's civilization come from? In fact, it inherited the system of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. As long as they can make everyone aware of the concept that there will be no China after Yashan, then it goes without saying that their culture that has continued since the prosperous Tang Dynasty will be He will suddenly become Huaxia Zhengshuo..."
"They will brazenly say to the world, you Chinese people have destroyed the Chinese civilization, but we still have a copy here. How good we are, come and learn, we are the Chinese civilization. The true roots!”
"If this plan really succeeds, and the majority of Chinese people really accept this idea, it will also lay the foundation for the Japanese to set foot on the mainland in the future, and they will have a certain right to inherit the continental system..."
"What? Little Fusang actually wants to get involved in the mainland?" Wang Huaiyuan said sharply.
"It's not about thinking, it's about taking action. Why did Toyotomi Hideyoshi attack North Korea? There was also the Battle of Baijiangkou in the Tang Dynasty. These were all manifestations of Japanese ambition!"
"That won't destroy this small country of Zuer! Head of state, we can't raise tigers to cause trouble!" Wang Huaiyuan said eagerly.
"No, no, no, forceful suppression is not the answer. It is best to divide Japan's problems into divisions. The Japanese can exploit the loopholes of Chinese civilization to make a fuss. Why can't we use their ways to change their bodies?"
"Fuso's civilization system also has its own loopholes. Bushido is a monolith? Don't worry, we can still pry it off. Before they are ready to attack us, I can remove their bones first..."
"Getting back to the subject, our Chinese civilization is still strong and not so easy to be killed. Was the Meng Yuan powerful back then? It didn't even take a hundred years from Kublai Khan's official unification to its final demise... Fusang saw this result and was full of People saw it too!”
"The reason why the Manchu rule over China is more stable than that of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty is because they also learned from the failure of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. The Manchu people also saw the power of Chinese civilization like the Fusang people..."
"Chinese civilization can only be eradicated by violence. The roots hidden underground are too strong. The failure of the Meng Yuan Dynasty reminded the Manchus that if they want to conquer China, they must rely on the Chinese civilization system and use the leverage to conquer Power rules by deception through confusion of concepts…”
"That's why the Manchu Qing Dynasty had various literary prisons, and they repeatedly demonstrated the truth that the king of the Yi and Di can rule China, and vigorously supported cynical scholars to help them correct public opinion and build momentum for them..."
The Manchu Qing Dynasty and later Japan were relatively smart. They knew that if they wanted to conquer China, they could not directly deny the Chinese civilization. It was impossible to expect to eradicate it. Therefore, the Manchu Qing Dynasty always found a reasonable basis for the existence of the Manchus from the Chinese civilization's own system.
Therefore, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been flaunting that its entry into the customs is revenge for the Ming Dynasty rather than simple aggression. At the same time, they are pursuing an alliance with Han Confucian scholars, paying respect to Confucianism in exchange for their acquiescence in Manchu rule.
Japan played more shrewdly. After the Sino-Japanese War, Japan was one of the countries that supported the revolutionary party the most. Almost all anti-Qing revolutionary parties received Japan's full protection.
At the same time, the concept of "There is no China after Yashan" was also widely circulated in Chinese intellectual circles. Gradually, Japan gradually established itself as the most civilized country in Asia through catching up in military, industry, science and technology, and finally culture. flag.
This is remarkable. This is the first time that Japan has raised the banner of Asian civilization. They stood on the body of Chinese civilization and finally stood up with their own heads.
This halo of attributes of Asia's first civilization has brought huge benefits to Japan. This halo can still work even after World War II. The attraction conferred by this civilization is so powerful that even in the 21st century, Japan took away It became the title of the country of etiquette that originally belonged to China.
During World War II, Japan supported the puppet Manchukuo state and made Puyi its emperor. At the same time, it proposed slogans such as the so-called Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. It was undoubtedly an attempt to use deception to squeeze into the Chinese civilization system.
"The dove occupies the magpie's nest! Yes, I can only use this idiom to describe the conspiracy of the Manchus and the Japanese, because they know that the final result of directly denying the Chinese civilization will be to be beaten and bleeding like the Mongolian Yuan or the Five Husbands. Just like the barbarians back then..."
"So they can only transform themselves into Zhengshuo of China, and then squeeze into the system of our civilization in an attempt to become the boss..."
"Are you very angry after hearing this?" Xiao Letian looked at Wang Huaiyuan, who was coughing and smoking and his face was blue, and suddenly he laughed and snatched the cigarette from his mouth.
"Stop smoking a little less. The way you are coughing...don't be angry. You have to look at the problem from a different angle! The Manchus and the Japanese are so thoughtful in their strategies. Doesn't this prove the power of our Chinese civilization?"
"Don't worry, Chinese civilization will never be destroyed! Think about it for yourself, this year is 1869 AD, the Five Husbands Rebellion should be around 300 AD... More than 1,500 years have passed, and the Han people still mention the things that happened during the Five Husbands Rebellion. My stomach is so angry!"
"If you hold grudges to this extent, can such a civilization perish easily? Hahaha, relax, I will always firmly believe that barbarians have no luck for a hundred years!"
After receiving a positive reply, Wan Huaiyuan's expression finally improved. "That's good, that's good! As long as we, the Chinese people, will never follow the old path of Egypt and Sri Lanka... I hope that we, the Chinese people, will never do it again." To be enslaved, never again..."
The two of them thought about the indigenous miners in the gem mining area who did not live past the age of thirty, and thought about the dense bones in the river below their feet. They couldn't help but sigh and fell into a long silence...
