Chapter 72: Don’t you know by comparing?

There is a popular saying now: If you want to learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty, you can go to Japan; if you want to learn the culture of the Song Dynasty, you can go to South Korea; if you want to learn the culture of the Yuan Dynasty, you can go to Mongolia; if you want to learn the culture of the Ming Dynasty, you can go to Myanmar; if you want to learn the culture of the Ming Dynasty, you can go to Myanmar; if you want to learn the culture of the Qing Dynasty, you can go to Hong Kong.

If you want to learn the culture of the Republic of China, you can go to Taiwan.

This means that the essence of the Tang Dynasty culture was inherited by the East, the essence of the Song Dynasty culture was inherited by South Korea, and the essence of the Republic of China culture was inherited by Taiwan.

So, what did the Chinese people inherit?

When it comes to foreign culture, we should take its essence and discard its dross. However, when it comes to the cultural inheritance of our own country, some Chinese people do the opposite, taking their dross and discarding its essence.

It is precisely because of the forgetfulness of some people that Chinese people are often despised and ridiculed by foreigners.

Fujino Saburo is an expert in the field of Chinese culture, so he naturally agrees with this statement. Therefore, now he raises this question to Fang Yan in front of everyone, with the intention of making Fang Yan look embarrassed.

You teach Chinese, which can also be said to be Chinese studies. Your poems are so beautiful and your knowledge is so rich. So why do you still have such words spread?

Isn't it a great irony that the essence of Chinese culture can only be appreciated by traveling to other countries?

"I've heard this sentence too," Fang Yan said calmly. It's useless to deny some things blindly. It can only show that this person is shallow and stupid. "Since Mr. Fujino is a researcher of Chinese culture, he must have heard this sentence.

: Wherever there is well water, there are willow poems."

"Yes, I know the origin of this sentence." Fujino Saburo smiled and nodded, and said: "This is to describe the widespread circulation of the works of a Chinese poet named Liu Sanbian, who can be heard wherever there is well water.

The singing of Liu Ci. I have to say that ancient Chinese culture is indeed broad and profound, which makes people yearn for it."

There is something in Saburo Fujino's words. He only said that the ancient Chinese culture is profound and profound, which makes people yearn for it. However, what kind of cultural existence is there in China today that is worthy of being admired?

Fang Yan naturally heard the deep meaning of his words, smiled, and then said: "Mr. Fujino has heard of the saying 'Wherever there is well water, there is a willow poem'. Do you know that there is another sentence after this sentence?"

?”

Fujino Saburo knew that Fang Yan would definitely refute his point of view, but Fang Yan did not explain clearly. He could only shake his head and said: "I don't know yet."

"Chinese civilization can be found wherever there are people. The culture of the Tang Dynasty is in the East, and the culture of the Ming Dynasty is in South Korea. This just shows that the Chinese culture has been carried forward and passed on well, and the whole world is learning and recognizing it. Chinese culture belongs to the country and the world.

This is the pride and pride of our Chinese people."

"Really?" Fujino didn't expect Fang Yan to misinterpret his attack argument so shamelessly. He was secretly angry and said: "As far as I know, the understanding of this sentence is completely opposite to Teacher Fang Yan's explanation. As a person

As researchers, cultural inheritors and disseminators, we should be modest, prudent and seek truth from facts."

Saburo Fujino glanced at the audience and said: "Teacher Fang Yan, lying in front of your students is not a good habit. You are a teacher, and if you lie, your students will be negatively affected -----

It’s not just me, all of us know that the real meaning of that sentence is regret that the Chinese people failed to protect and inherit their excellent culture.”

"Yes, what Teacher Fang Yan said just now is very good. It belongs to the country and the world. We admire Chinese culture. If you abandon the dross, we are willing to preserve it intact. It will be passed down from generation to generation and the bones will be polished.

, enrich knowledge and improve the personal quality of the entire nation.”

Fujino Saburo looked at Fang Yan with a smile, and at the same time looked at the many Suzaku students present, and said: "An old gentleman from China once said that people today have had it, and they don't like people's rules. For example, if a disease is hidden and medical treatment is avoided, it is better to destroy it.

There is no enlightenment. Why hide your illness and avoid medical treatment? Frankly admit your shortcomings, correct them when you can still save them, and start working hard from today ----- Isn't this a better way to solve the problem? "

"It's not that we don't want to admit it. We just can't admit it." Fang Yan said with a smile. "Mr. Fujino Saburo blindly blames us and tells us that what you said is the truth - but the situation is

Is it really what Mr. Saburo Fujino said? I am doubtful, and my students are also doubtful."

"Why do some people think that the essence of Tang Dynasty culture was inherited by Japan, and the essence of Song Dynasty culture was inherited by South Korea?" Fang Yan said with a gentle expression, a calm voice, and a faint smile on his face: "Since Saburo Fujino is a master of China,

Then you must have heard of such a fairy tale, right?"

"There lived a frog in an abandoned well. One day, the frog met a big turtle from the East China Sea by the well. The frog proudly boasted to the turtle and said, "Look, how comfortable it is for me to live here."

If I'm happy, I'll jump and play in the well. When I'm tired, I'll rest in the cave on the wall of the well. Sometimes I'll soak my body comfortably in the water, and sometimes I'll happily take a walk in the mud. Look at the little bugs and crabs next to me.

Or tadpoles, who among them can compare with me? I occupy this abandoned well all to myself, how free I am. Why don’t you, sir, go down to the well to have a look and play around?"

"The sea turtle did not take the frog's invitation seriously and said, have you ever seen the sea? The sea is vast, more than a thousand miles, and the depth of the sea is more than a thousand feet. The water in the well can dry up, but the sea never ends. I would rather live in

In the sea, because that is where the real world is. How can you know the vastness of the world if you sit in the well water all day?"

After Fang Yan finished telling his fairy tale, the classroom became agitated.

The students of Class 9 were naturally excited and delighted. They were very unhappy when they heard Fujino Saburo attacked the inheritance of Chinese culture. However, they could not stand up to oppose it. Because the Takehito delegation was a guest from afar, if they

If they act too excited, the school may punish them.

However, Fang Yan is not afraid of punishment from the school, and he also ignores the leading teachers of Zhuque Middle School who are right in front of him. He says what he has to say, and he fights for what he has to fight for. He is not cowardly, does not evade, has opinions and stories, and sharp words.

People feel very comfortable.

If someone slaps you in the face on your own territory, who would be willing to put your face there?

"Teacher Fang is so complimentary-----"

"Teacher Fang's story is well told, so exciting-----"

"That is, how does the frog in the well know how vast and vast the sea is?"

--------

Different from the behavior of the students, the leading teacher of Zhuque Middle School looked a little unkind.

Jia Siting, the leader of the first-grade Chinese language group, whispered to the teacher next to him: "I don't know how to advance or retreat. How can you talk to guests like this? I'm afraid things will get worse."

"That's right. If the guest gets angry and cancels the friendship school with our Suzaku Middle School, it will be very embarrassing."

"Principal Lu, you have to stand up and say something------"

Lu Chaoge sat next to Song Dao Ji, expressionless and silent.

If the reaction of the students of Suzaku Middle School was joy and the reaction of Suzaku teachers was panic, then the reaction of the Takehito delegation was one of anger.

Those who were familiar with Chinese culture or could understand Chinese language had their faces darken when Fang Yan was telling stories.

This is a story about sitting in a well and looking at the sky. In Fang Yan's words, they became the frogs sitting leisurely in the well. How could they be willing to accept such a verbal attack?

After listening to the interpreter's explanation, some members of the delegation who did not speak Chinese spoke looked at Fang Yan with even more hostility. This was a shame and an insult.

Saburo Fujino looked extremely embarrassed and said: "This is a very unfriendly behavior. If Suzaku Middle School cannot give us an explanation, we will immediately end the inspection trip and sever all school cooperation with Suzaku Middle School. Moreover, we

We will seek justice from China on this matter through the Dongyang Embassy."

The classroom was noisy and noisy, clearly divided into three opposing emotions.

When Fang Yan told this story, he already knew the reactions from all parties.

He waved his hands with a smile and said: "Mr. Fujino, don't get excited, I just told a fairy tale. I didn't say that you are frogs at the bottom of the well - please don't have such unnecessary associations. You must

If I take on this role, it will affect the friendship between the two schools."

"Then who do you think is the frog at the bottom of the well?" Saburo Fujino said harshly. He thought to himself, if you cared about the friendship between the two schools, you would not tell such an insulting fairy tale.

"The frog at the bottom of the well is the frog at the bottom of the well." Fang Yan replied seriously. "Why does Mr. Fujino insist on pursuing this boring question? What we should pay attention to is who is the waste well?

, who is the sea.”

"Then let me ask - who is the abandoned well and who is the sea?"

"Chinese culture is naturally the sea." Fang Yan said.

"------" Fujino Saburo felt tight in his chest and felt as if he fainted on the spot. Chinese culture is the sea, so the East is a waste well. The East is a waste well------he is still the frog sitting in the well and looking at the sky.

Is it? Going in a big circle just to insult them again?

"Whether it is Japan, South Korea, or some other civilized countries, the culture they inherit is just a tributary of the sea." Fang Yan said. "Without the accumulation of small streams, there is no river or sea. And the reason why a river and sea can be called a river is because

It’s because it has many tributaries and vast waters. If I say this, Mr. Fujino won’t object, right?”

"Is this really the case?" Fujino Saburo's face was full of sarcasm. "Blindly dodging and hiding can only prove your own guilty conscience. If the tributary is wider and broader than the sea, then, is it a tributary or a tributary? The sea or the sea? Such a question, you

You can stand on your own laurels and turn a blind eye. However, you can't block the eyes of the world."

Fang Yan also laughed and said, "Then, how do you prove that the tributaries are wider and broader than the sea?"
