- "This is a very strange nation. Let's say they have beliefs. They do not respect and believe in gods from the bottom of their hearts. They can believe in multiple gods at the same time. Buddhism and Taoism are very popular here. Every important festival , they will hold some activities to celebrate and worship."
"But in our Europe, faith is unique. Once you believe in God, you cannot believe in other gods. Otherwise, you will be a pagan and a heretic. God is the only one."
¡°We can give everything we have for our beliefs, donate our wealth, and even our lives, wage war for our beliefs, and protect our beliefs even to the death.¡±
"But the Ming Dynasty people are different. They often have a utilitarian aspect. When they offer sacrifices to the gods, they often pray that the gods can give them some rewards, such as blessing them with wealth or peace."
"Therefore, in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a religious war, and there have even been many attempts to destroy Buddhism against religions in history."
"Their belief in God is not pious, so it can be said that they have no belief."
"But when you really get to know the people of Ming Dynasty, you will find that they not only have faith, but also have extremely firm faith."
¡°They are grateful to their ancestors for giving them life and creating everything they have now, so they have to sacrifice to their ancestors every year and festival.¡±
"They also respect the sky. I don't quite understand what the sky is now. Maybe it can be understood as similar to the God we Europeans believe in. They believe that God is watching everyone's words and deeds, so when doing things, don't It is too harmful to nature, so we should respect heaven and obey nature. This may be the best explanation for them."
Leonardo da Vinci recorded his feelings since traveling eastward in his diary. When writing this, he fell into deep thought again.
¡°We in Europe may have always attached too much importance to God and faith, so we have always been bound and imprisoned by religious ideas.¡±
¡°The church has always emphasized the supremacy of divine power, requiring us to abstain from sex, abandon our selfish desires, and dedicate everything to God.¡±
"There is no doubt that this is true ignorance. Giving up one's own desires and pursuits, but immersing oneself in the illusion of the religious world and praying for things after death. This is really ridiculous."
"In comparison, the people of Ming Dynasty have a more humanistic spirit than us Europeans."
"People in the Ming Dynasty believed that the princes and generals would have the right to live a good life. They believed that through their own efforts and struggle, they could live a good life, and it was even possible for them to transform from the lowest peasants to a great noble."
This time 75z wz .c*om Zhang Si. "What a precious humanistic spirit this is!"
"People in the Ming Dynasty pay attention to drinking today and getting drunk today, enjoying themselves in time, individualized life and pursuits, and pursuit of family harmony and prosperity. The influence of God in their lives is very small."
"Their king believed that water can carry or capsize a boat, and paid great attention to the suffering of the people. When there was any disaster, they often prayed and offered sacrifices to heaven. They first reflected on whether they had done anything wrong, which led to the disaster. The second step is to vigorously provide disaster relief and pay attention to the lives of the people at the bottom."
¡°The people of the Ming Dynasty attach great importance to the value of human beings. Throughout the dynasties, rulers will encourage childbirth, and the common people also attach great importance to the inheritance of blood. There are often seven or eight children in every household. They think the inheritance of blood is the most important thing.¡±
¡°These incomparably reflect the Ming Dynasty¡¯s humanistic spirit, which is people-oriented and human-centered, rather than God-centered like our European counterparts. They affirm the value and dignity of human beings, advocate the pursuit of wealth and happiness in real life, and advocate the continuous development of individuals. The pursuit and hard work, the pursuit of excellence and success.¡±
"This kind of spirit is exactly what we Europeans lack. In comparison, Europe is like a dark world with no light in sight, but the Ming Dynasty is full of humanity."
"Perhaps this is why Ming Dynasty is stronger than us in Europe!"
Da Vinci slowly put down the pen in his hand.
In Europe at this time, with the emergence of the emerging bourgeoisie, they were extremely dissatisfied with the control of the spiritual world by the feudal church. Starting from Italy, a cultural trend of thought against feudal religion emerged.
Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most famous figures. He has always advocated the humanistic spirit and valued human value, and even showed human beauty by painting human portraits.
Arriving in Daming, he came into contact with a large number of Daming people along the way, which gave him a certain understanding of Daming.
¡°Compared to Europe being bound by religious ideas,Ming Dynasty pays more attention to human values, and the influence and restraint of religion are far less powerful than in Europe.
Here, he seemed to see a bright world and found something that opposed the European feudal religious rule and ideas.
¡°It¡¯s really a worthwhile trip!¡±
Da Vinci looked out the window. It was night at this moment, but the two sides of the Huangpu River were brightly lit. Restaurants, teahouses, hotels, inns, commercial streets, etc. were brightly lit, crowded with people, and very lively.
强牺 tianlaixw.com 读牺。Look at the Ming people here, their clothes Gorgeous and prosperous, even ordinary people can live a prosperous life, and they can enjoy their lives even at night.
Thinking about Europe again, it should be dark at night, just like the spiritual world of Europeans. Religion controls people's thoughts, making people ignorant.
It¡¯s just about atonement in this life, hoping to enter heaven after death. Don¡¯t you know that all of this is just a way for religion to deceive and fool people?
And the Ming Dynasty people in front of them enjoy life and cherish everything now.
¡°Now I finally understand why the rulers of the Ming Dynasty strictly prohibited the spread of foreign religions in the Ming Dynasty.¡±
Zhida z.com Zhixiao. "I think there must be someone who clearly knows that if the church's stuff really spreads in the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely bring endless darkness to this bright world."

Soon, Da Vinci remembered another thing.
That is, the Ming Dynasty strictly prohibited the spread of Christianity in the Ming Dynasty. Even in the Golden Continent, the Ming Dynasty killed all the missionaries and issued a stern warning to the Holy See.
At this time, it caused a huge sensation in Europe. At that time, the Pope was furious about this and even threatened to organize a Crusade to the Ming Empire.
But in the end, it was settled. After all, the powerful Ming Empire was not easy to mess with.
Da Vinci admired everything about the Ming Dynasty, especially the humanistic spirit that he now understood, which made Da Vinci feel that the Ming Dynasty was a country full of humanities, and the power of the Ming Dynasty was closely related to all this. Get in touch.
If Liu Jin knew about this, Liu Jin would probably be shocked.
Later generations of Westerners have always looked at Easterners with colored glasses, full of contempt and arrogance.
However, now, the Ming Empire is the most powerful empire, with great strength, vast territory, and a prosperous life for its people. However, here in Europe, there are constant disputes, frequent wars, and poverty.
Even the spiritual world is still in darkness under the control of the church.
Naturally, Europeans are full of curiosity about the people of the Ming Dynasty and full of yearning for everything about the Ming Dynasty.
强牺 shucang.cc 读牺。In addition, the European aristocracy and upper class society were very interested in Ming Dynasty silk, porcelain, and tea. , the pursuit of sugar, etc. and the wealthy Eastern empire described in Marco Polo¡¯s travels.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
All of this showed the Europeans how rich and powerful the Ming Dynasty was. Even when Leonardo da Vinci came to the Ming Dynasty, he highly praised all aspects of the Ming Dynasty. There was a feeling that when the shepherd dogs of later generations went abroad, they felt that the moon abroad was too bright. It feels rounder than in China.
¡°In the final analysis, strength comes first.
This time 7 5zwz.c*om Zhang Si. You are strong, and all your farts are right.
If you are weak, your existence will be wrong.
Not only is this true for people, but also for countries. Strength is the truth!
Of course, Da Vinci at this moment does not think so. He feels that the strength of the Ming Dynasty is inevitable, because the Ming Dynasty is full of humanistic atmosphere, people-oriented, and values ????people, so the people of the Ming Dynasty should be strong.
Compared with here, Europe is dark, lifeless, and a pool of stagnant water. Therefore, it is understandable that Europe lags behind.
Zhida z.com Zhixiao. ps: People, you still have to work hard. If you succeed, everything is right~
