Compared with the concerns of Yifan's daughter's family, Zhang Hanqing is more concerned about the abandonment of old traditions and the overall admiration of new culture by the students of Tianjin University. This is related to whether Chinese culture can be inherited as one continuous line and whether Chinese people can psychologically defeat powerful enemies. , related to whether the country can become a first-class power.
Why did the United States become more developed in later generations? In addition to its strong political and military capabilities, its culture is also very strong: the Statue of Liberty, Barbie Doll, "American Gothic", the Buffalo Nickel, and Uncle Sam are its symbols.
Because it is a country of immigrants, there was no feudal society in their historical development. The aristocrats, untouchables, castes, royal families and other things that are popular in continental Europe have no or no practical significance in the United States. People have high expectations for family and status. , Identity is not important: what is more important is the achievements of the parties themselves.
They use the Statue of Liberty to express their commitment to the American dream for newly arrived immigrants; Barbie represents a "beautiful beauty" who "originates from the United States, was born in the United States, and grew up in the United States." She should be called the "pride of America." "; "American Gothic" reflects the solemn pride of American farmers;
The buffalo nickel is a commemoration of the bison and Indians who were victims of western development, expressing America's reflection on history; as for Uncle Sam, it is considered by Americans to be honest, reliable, hard-working and patriotic, and is regarded as a symbol of their own nation. Pride and shared qualities.
Whether it¡¯s true or not, at least they have faith, and that¡¯s religion.
China had faith a long time ago, but then it basically disappeared. There are many reasons for this phenomenon: the poison of feudal ideology, the failure of seclusion, the Qing Dynasty's tampering of Chinese culture, and the self-castration of a group of shameless literati.
The Chinese faith is called Confucianism. With it, the Chinese do not need religion.
Englishman Robert Douglas gave his own explanation for this phenomenon: In fact, the Chinese believe that Confucianism is a philosophical and ethical system that can replace religion in influencing and enlightening human society and civilization.
In fact, the greatness of Confucianism is that it is non-religious, but it can replace religion and allow people to do anything without religion.
In the eyes of Gu Hongming, a Chinese "cultural geek", it was Confucius who used his own thoughts and doctrines to build the foundation of social order and civilization that reconciled the conflicts between philosophy and belief. Lao and Zhuang tried to destroy this foundation, but failed.
The difference between Confucianism, Christianity, and Buddhism is that the latter is a religion of people or a church religion, while the former is a social religion or a national religion. Confucianism cannot actually be called a religion, but a way of being a gentleman.
In this sense, Confucianism has its vitality and can be inherited critically and cannot be completely negated.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there was a conflict between Chinese and Western civilizations. Almost all Chinese advanced elements advocated the complete negation of China¡¯s traditional culture and the unreserved absorption of Western civilization.
But after Japan, across the water, became fully westernized and gained strong muscles, some people attributed China's backwardness to cultural backwardness. Then batch after batch of official students were sent to the West and the East to find suitable candidates for China. path of. When they saw the development of industrialization and the backwardness of domestic traditional agricultural society, they naturally had the idea of ??transforming or even discarding the old culture.
There are many famous figures among them, and even some writing reformers have the idea that Chinese characters are no longer good enough for Chinese and they need to be comprehensively reformed. For example, Qian Xuantong advocates the abolition of Chinese characters.
By the time of the May Fourth Movement, the New Culture Movement was also filled with an atmosphere of impetuousness, disintegration, unprincipledness, and irresponsibility. Due to all-round backwardness, outstanding intellectuals always want to catch up with the world. While affirming and following Western science and technology, politics, and culture, they will also simply attribute the backwardness to the lag in cultural traditions, which is crude and irrational. To completely deny things in Chinese tradition.
It¡¯s like advocating vernacular literature while also proposing slogans such as ¡°Smash the Confucian store.¡± They don¡¯t know that culture and tradition are intangible and cannot be cut off by cutting off the water and the water will flow again. Just like the rebirth of a tree, new branches and buds must come from the old branches.
The Cultural Revolution period was the most severe period of fragmentation of traditional Chinese culture. The "four olds" were "broken". The independent spirit and character of intellectuals were completely destroyed. The traditional moral norms: loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, justice, integrity, shame, trust and courage were all missing. Thousands of years of culture The inheritance lasts for generations in the mainland.
Zhang Hanqing feels that the benefits that time travel has brought to him are that he has the opportunity to change China's destiny, and at the same time leave a brilliant cultural atmosphere to future generations: let them be proud of China's fine traditions and be ashamed of worshiping foreigners; The tradition of cultural all-inclusiveness and inclusiveness continues.??; Let Eastern civilization shine on this planet, and let Chinese characters become the favorite in the hearts of people around the world.
This method is to use a strong China to rejuvenate the national pride and cultural superiority of the Chinese people. This is a long-term process. In the short term, he plans to use a non-dogmatic propaganda to emphasize the advancement of traditional culture with the times.
Because he is a celebrity in the political world and has a certain influence in the cultural world, he is ready to let the Chinese people see that traditional culture that changes its thinking can also be put into new bottles and revitalized with new vitality.
This kind of subtle thing requires everyone¡¯s efforts. The promotion of the new culture and the protection of the fine old culture require a large number of influential people to speak out, which will, to a certain extent, guide the overall westernization and bring spiritual myths to the future generation.
He does it his way.
On the Peking University campus, there are quite a few teachers who get along well with each other and have friendships. In the cultural circle, he also has some seniors who have similar ideas, especially Gu Hongming. He wants to hold him up and make him the spokesperson of Chinese culture, just like in his previous life. "Lu Xun's direction is the direction of the new culture of the Chinese nation," as propagated by later generations.
His huge prestige can already be said to be unparalleled within the People's Party, because the party's decentralization still needs a certain process. This is a bad thing, but it seems to be a good thing.
Under his instructions, the Propaganda Department of the People's Party and the General Department of Education of the National Unification Council launched a major discussion on Gu Hongming's thoughts, put forward the call to "carry forward China's fine traditions, absorb and learn from foreign culture", and put forward Gu's "Chinese People" "The spirit" is regarded as a guide to let the Chinese people know that Chinese traditional culture is not synonymous with backwardness and reaction. In the new era, it is also necessary to adhere to fine cultural traditions.
Education is China¡¯s future. Adhering to Zhang Hanqing's request, the General Department of Education carried out the propaganda of "Five Lectures, Four Beauties and Three Loves" among primary and secondary school students; in the cultural circle, cultural workers on all fronts were required to treat traditional culture with the principle of critical inheritance and adhere to "Confucianism as the body, The attitude of "Legalism is for practical use" has allowed traditional culture to shine again.
Of course, the abolition of the old patriarchal system, women's liberation, and the elimination of feudal superstition are the most important things to break people's criticism of feudal society. Almost all descriptions of the "evil" old society are basically inseparable from these three things, and these must be criticized in large numbers and specifically.
With its dominant position, the People's Party has worked hard to reverse some of the extreme value tendencies of the Chinese people, which has had a huge impact on the Chinese people. A great collision of the old and new cultures is taking place almost everywhere, and this is also happening in many places. A big discussion.
Zhang Hanqing does not hope to use political power to overthrow the so-called old traditions. What he wants is for the civilized people to have their own thinking and make their own choices. This is the progress of history and the beginning of civilization. .
On every occasion, Zhang Hanqing preached that Chinese civilization was, and will certainly remain, the best civilization in the world: ¡°It once had hundreds of schools of thought contending and flourished with ideas, but a man named Ying Zheng resolutely severed the ties of Chinese culture. The worst legacy left to us is to leave the right and wrong of ideas to the power to judge.
Since then, China has never had its greatest thinker, and the situation worsened during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. "
What he said is very in line with the mentality of the Chinese people.
Gong Zizhen's description of the society during the Ming and Qing Dynasties as "thousands of horses quivering in silence" couldn't be more appropriate. He also said: "Today in China, there are no talented officials in the court, no untalented thieves in the streets, and even talented people among the people." None of the great thieves'.
The Chinese people have lost their original spirit. After thousands of years, no matter what state their bodies are in, their souls will always be on their knees. They will only crawl, whether in front of the royal family or in front of foreign invaders. This situation reached its climax during the Sino-Japanese War.
The Japanese army attacked Liaodong. The Qing army had 50,000 people. The Japanese army was smaller than the Qing army. However, in less than 10 days, Liaodong was completely defeated. The Lushun Fortress was impregnable and the Qing army only held it for one day. The Russian army held it for nearly a year during the Russo-Japanese War. . The report submitted by Japanese military doctors after examining the wounds after the war wrote: "Judging from the wounds of the Qing soldiers, most of the injection points were at the back, and very few were shot from the front."
The biggest problem for the Chinese people right now is that having no faith is exactly what some people believe.
On the contrary, in Japan, they have great enthusiasm for Chinese culture. Miyazaki Toten said in "The Dream of Thirty-Three Years" that "if China is completely destroyed, there will be no hope for the countries in the East." If China can thrive, there is hope for assistance from Eastern countries. Alas! China's problem is actually a big problem in the East. ¡¯
The spirit becomes wide. Chinese civilization is as vast as the sea. Once chaos is brought to an end, its grandeur and grandeur will undoubtedly emerge. China is the cultural motherland of Japan. Even Shintaro Ishihara, the most famous right-wing anti-China element, had to admit, "As soon as I read Tang poetry and Song lyrics, I felt a ray of nostalgia in my heart."
This is a wisp of cultural nostalgia. Although there is a language barrier between China and Japan, we can communicate through written conversations, but we cannot communicate with many ethnic minorities. This shows that Japan is culturally inferior to China.
Therefore, in addition to seeking economic prosperity and military strength, Zhang Hanqing also believes that cultural self-confidence is one of the signs of a country's strength. In his words, "The people have faith, the nation has hope, and the country has strength." Let the Chinese people start from Spiritually escaping from slavery is more important and challenging than gaining sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity.
His admiration for Chinese culture and his immortal efforts have shocked the cultural world. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?It is a wisp of cultural nostalgia.
