Suppose Confucius was resurrected and visited China and Japan today. I wonder which one should be regarded as barbarian and which as summer?
In China today, there is no Confucius, only Confucius or Confucius.
This is a staunch iron-blooded and revanchist who values the principle of reciprocity.
Mencius said, "If a ruler treats his ministers like his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, his ministers will regard him as a fellow countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as an enemy."
And out.
But in the eyes of many people, this is just a pedantic person.
He is an advocate and practitioner of the Six Arts of the Gentleman: etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and numeracy.
But in the eyes of many people, he is the spokesperson for those rotten people who are "useless" and "have no power to restrain a chicken".
Many people do not know anything about this man, and have not even read the most basic "The Analects of Confucius", but they want to overthrow him with sincerity. There is only one reason. For many years in the past, he has been a "sage"
.
The saint did not save China.
China fell behind, China was beaten, China was invaded.
Whose fault?
Of course he is a saint.
Could it be that he is still an ordinary person?
And what is the purpose of keeping a useless saint?
Besides, now is an era of scientific prosperity, an era in which "everyone is like a dragon". All sages must be knocked down and pulled down, and all loftiness must be diluted and obliterated. Where did the saints come from?
, Where does the virtuous come from, where does the noble come from, who can be much higher than who?
It is a truly enlightened and enlightened era when there are no more sages and no more sublimity.
After counting, it seems that all the sages can provide is morality.
But in today's era, where there is science in everything we do and laws in crime, what's the use of morality?
Morality is useless.
So in fact, there is no need to pull. The sage himself has lost the foundation of his body. There is no need to push or pull, and it will collapse on its own.
There are too many things to argue with Shizuishi Ito's words, but when I saw the Acupuncture Festival during the day, I saw so many people in Japan, ranging from elites in various industries to ordinary people, who were united and devoted to something.
, Xu Guangling had completely lost his interest in arguing.
A truly brilliant debate never brings silence to the other party, but only hurts the heart.
You can talk eloquently, you can quote from other sources, you can criticize the other party for making partial generalizations and generalizations, blinding one's view... But you know that before you open your mouth, you have already lost.
If this were a game on a chess board.
Then Xu Guangling is not a peerless chess player now, but at most a second- and third-level character who is not even qualified to play chess. However, opposite him is the "invincible" character.
Sacrifice exists in China.
But there is no such thing in China where all people sacrifice together and use sacrifice as a guide to pursue the past and revive the present.
This alone is enough.
They sacrificed Confucius because Confucius promoted enlightenment.
They worshiped Shennong because Shennong nurtured agriculture.
They worshiped the Yellow Emperor because the Yellow Emperor opened the way to medicine.
These three people's hearts are for all peoples, and their actions are for all peoples. Therefore, today, all peoples worship them. They are not in their homeland, but in a foreign land.
The four great inventions are from China, but they later became popular all over the world.
Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away.
No one belongs to anyone.
Who stipulates that Confucius, Shennong, and Huangdi... belong to China forever?
Just like Shizuishi Ito said, if these people are resurrected, would they think so?
Yes, most likely, or definitely yes.
But at the same time, will they deny the place that so unitedly remembers and worships them?
Will it?
Will it?
Will it?
One person discards it like a broken shoe, the other person treats it like a treasure.
Xu Guangling is not a sage, so he does not know the sage's answer. Of course, the sage has passed away, and they cannot give the answer.
"Japan is not a country blessed by heaven and earth."
Shizuishi Ito didn't wait for Xu Guangling's answer. He didn't seem to want Xu Guangling to answer, but just wanted to say this sentence. Then at this time, he said like this, "On the contrary, Japan has a small land and a large number of people, and resources."
It’s extremely scarce, and it’s also famous around the world for our earthquakes.”
Speaking of this, Shizuishi Ito's face was filled with vicissitudes of life, "All of this has put our survival and development into a deep dilemma. The way out is narrow externally, and the competition is fierce internally. You may have heard of Xu Jun.
, Japan now also has the highest suicide rate in the world.”
"Even excluding suicide, there is still a deep worry and underlying pessimism in the hearts of most of our citizens."
"Over the years, especially the younger generation, many people have been unable to bear this pressure and have collapsed. A very small number have chosen to commit suicide, while the majority have become decadent, drunken and dreamy, relying on alcohol, women, games and
Use drugs to anesthetize yourself.”
"They have no money, no property, no education, no knowledge. They dare not die but are greedy for life. However, they do not have much nostalgia for life. And most of the time, they rely on instinct to live, eat and drink instinctively, and sleep instinctively.
, instinctively mate, instinctively work, instinctively vent emptiness and depression.”
“Besides these, no ‘human’ qualities or superiorities can be seen in them.”
"Xu Jun, you may be unfamiliar with these, but in fact, your country will be like this in a few years. As the industry and class solidify, as the upper class naturally extracts the interests of the lower class in the development process, in ten years
Years, twenty years at most, Mr. Xu, you will see more and more of what is happening in Japan now in your country."
Shizuishi Ito said slowly.
"Fortunately, the decadent part is only part of it."
"We still have many people of insight and many citizens who are working hard for themselves, their families and their country."
"Our Akihabara is known to the world as the Holy Land of Electronics, but in addition to this, we also have many other holy places, such as the 'Acupuncture Festival' that you watched during the day."
Xu Guangling nodded.
This is also the first time I heard him express his stance. Well, it can be regarded as a stance.
Shizuishi Ito also nodded, "Japan and China are far from comparable in terms of natural resources. China has everything, but we have nothing. China only needs to export resources to achieve rapid development, and we,
We can only rely on our brains and hands to find a way to 'make something out of nothing' that does not require reliance or much reliance on natural resources."
"This is what the electronics industry is like."
"This is what the animation industry is like."
"This is what the high-end manufacturing industry is like."
"The same goes for the pharmaceutical industry."
This last pharmaceutical industry is what Ito Shizuishi wants to express. "The industry that the Ito family is involved in is the pan-pharmaceutical industry, and its main part is the manufacturing of Western medicine and Kampo medicine."
Xu Guangling nodded again.
"Xu Jun, blood can become weak step by step, but culture can become strong step by step."
Ito Jingshi looked at Xu Guangling sincerely and said, "The distinction between Yi and Xia I just raised did not mean to hurt you at all, but was just my own defense. Since I was a child, I have longed for Chinese culture, and Datong,
He has also been learning Chinese culture under my guidance since he was a child."
Xu Guangling looked at Ito Matiri, and then saw her gently nodding her head.
"I am Japanese, but I am also a follower of Chinese culture that follows 'benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, and trustworthiness.'"
"There is an old saying in China, a fly is not good at flying, but it can fly thousands of miles with its tail." Ito Shizuishi said slowly, seriously and solemnly, "Xu Jun, ever since Datong said that you took action to cure Xiaoli, I have felt that you
It may be that Ji, and this meeting, Mr. Xu, you have confirmed my judgment."
"Xu Jun, I sincerely extend an invitation to you again, hoping that you can join the Ito family. Datong and I, including everyone in the Ito family, are willing to follow and join Jiwei."
After saying this, before Xu Guangling could answer, Ito Shizuishi added: "Xu Jun, please don't refuse immediately. I want Datong to accompany you to understand the pharmaceutical industry in Japan and around the world.
The current development status of.”
