Someone asked me, what is the purpose of writing this article, is it to comfort myself? I said: If it was to comfort myself, I would not use such an embarrassing title: We are the despicable sinners. Others asked
Me: Don’t you admire Western culture? Why do you still write such things? I told him: Liking does not mean flattering. For example: If you like a woman, kiss her face; if you want to flatter a woman, just kiss her.
Her face, and then add her feet. There are some people in China now whose cultural reflection behavior is excessive and perverted. I just want to give these people a slap. I will slap this slap as hard as I can. Such people
There are two views:
1. Describe the common ugliness in human history as unique ugliness in Chinese history, and then argue that Chinese culture is inferior.
2 The second is to describe the low quality of citizens common in developing countries as the bad character of Chinese people, and then argue that the Chinese are an inferior nation.
After China experienced the impact of Western civilization, some people often reflected on the political and cultural issues of their own nation. This is a good thing. It is undeniable that many of these reflective people are people who have contributed to China's progress.
However, in our reflections, there have also been some extreme points:
A complete denial of traditional culture.* In the text, almost all Chinese traditional culture is called "feudal dross". It even led to the great tragedy of destroying the Four Olds. A complete rejection of Chinese history. It is said that "feudal society is the darkness of 2000 years",*
Especially among them. At present, such arguments still exist. It is ridiculous to think about it. They are all outdated ultra-left ideas that have been denied by history. Therefore, they have just changed their sign. Originally it was called overthrowing feudalism, but now it is called bravery.
Know shame.
I can tell such people that there is a big difference between being brave and shameless and being brave and shameless, just like a gentleman and a scoundrel, a warrior and a clown! In history, humans have had at least five large-scale destructions of culture. These five times
This destruction has something in common: they think there is something wrong with culture, it is garbage, it is the devil, it is a vat of sauce, so they destroy it.
1. The Romans. After believing in Catholicism, they frantically destroyed ancient Greek and Roman culture, demolished temples, smashed statues of gods, and banned the Olympic Games. The reason - God is the only god, and others are evil spirits. (They believe that everything in culture is problematic)
2: The Spaniards. They insisted that the Native American culture was "devil" and wreaked havoc. (They believed that everything about culture was problematic)
Three: German fascism. (thinks everything about culture is problematic)
Four: *Destroy the Four Old Movements. (Believing that everything in culture is problematic)
Five: The Taliban blew up the Bamiyan Buddhas. (I think everything about culture is problematic)
I once asked a person who likes to curse traditional Chinese culture: "China was ahead in ancient times and lagging behind in modern times. Are we sorry for the ancients? Or are they sorry for us?". He patted the table with shame and helplessness and said: "Hey! We are sorry.
I'm sorry, ancestors!" So I asked again: "In a relay race, the ancestors are ahead and the descendants are lagging behind. Do the descendants have the right to scold the ancestors? The answer is: "No." This can't help but remind me of some political issues when Germany was defeated.
What the family said in front of Charlemagne: "We are the despicable sinners!" Look at today's China, those warriors who cursed their ancestors, those warriors who refused to take responsibility for China's backwardness as their own responsibility
, those warriors who argue that the Chinese nation is an inferior nation, those warriors who argue that Chinese culture is an inferior culture, those warriors who constantly laugh at small feet, eight-legged braids, pigtails, and eunuchs, but dare not criticize 'foreign garbage'...their bravery has been criticized.
Those words of deep self-blame were obliterated. Therefore, I dare to boldly say that the true meaning of being brave and shameful lies in admitting: We are the despicable sinners.
1. The wavering of my thoughts
They describe the ugliness in world history as the ugliness unique to Chinese history, and then argue that Chinese culture is inferior. Such people are like idiots. Many years ago, probably when I was in high school, there was a book and a film
The TV series was quite popular at the time. The book is called, and the author is Bo Yang from Taiwan. The TV series is called, and the script is written by Su Shuyang. The ideas they promote are similar. Generally speaking, they compare Chinese traditional culture to a dirty "sauce vat"
, attributing China’s more than one hundred years of backwardness to the culture created by our ancestors—especially Confucianism.
The book lists some of the dregs of Chinese culture, such as eight-legged essays, small feet, imperial staffs, and eunuchs. Blind worship of idols, foolish loyalty and filial piety, the confinement of thoughts, and the inequality of status between men and women. It also mentions the ignorance of some Chinese people.
and cruel behaviors: such as eating Yi Zi in the famine years, burning Epang Palace, burning books to humiliate Confucian scholars, playing power, fighting each other, infighting, etc. So we came to the conclusion that China's backwardness lies in the inferior traditional culture.
We should give up traditional culture and accept Western civilization (actually total Westernization). After reading these two works, I have a profound feeling, that is: China's traditional culture is really worthless, while Western civilization is absolutely brilliant, and
Some of the examples given in these two works make it seem like they are talking about the iron reality - Chinese culture represents barbarism, while Western culture represents progress! After looking at it for a long time, it turns out that a kind of Western colonization has emerged
The thought that the Chinese people dreamed of back then: that the Chinese and today's backward nations are inherently inferior races, while the Europeans, especially the Germans, are absolutely excellent nations. If China wants to progress, it must be ideologically advanced.
The culture, ideology, text structure and all aspects are closer to Westerners, and maybe there is some vitality.
After reading these works at that time, I agreed. To be honest, I agreed! Because there were still many things I didn’t understand at that time... I was only in high school, and I knew only a little about the history of China. In my vague impression, it seemed like Bo
What Yang said is correct. There are indeed many dark things in China. And the conservatism, corruption and autocracy in Chinese history left a deep impression on me. However, there are so many scientists in the West such as Einstein, Galileo, and Edison.
There are many writers like Hugo, Pushkin, and Shakespeare, as well as famous art masters such as Leonardo da Vinci and Van Gogh. More importantly, the West has democracy, freedom, and science.
At that time, I once said: We claim to have a 5,000-year-old civilization, but if we look at it, almost all the things we use now were invented by Westerners. I once agreed with the sentence in "River Elegy" "Don't let yourself
Lie to yourself again!" Yes, we should not always narcotize ourselves with the ancient civilization, vast land and rich resources. We must admit our shortcomings and be brave and aware of our shame. Only by abandoning traditional culture and the bad roots of the nation can China have hope. Bo Yang once hoped that foreign countries
Friends, especially American friends, help Chinese people get rid of their bad roots. I agree. Because at that time, in my eyes, the United States was a symbol of freedom and development and a sign of civilization.
I did believe in this view at the time, but at that time, there were still many things I didn't understand... I forgot one thing. When I admired Western civilization from the bottom of my heart, I didn't even read "World History" properly.
One glance.
After high school, I read the Bible, The Analects of Confucius, Zhuangzi, and briefly read some stories from Buddhist scriptures. Later, I began to read the "Compendium of General History of China" carefully. After work, I read World History.
When looking at Chinese history, I still agree with the views of Bo Yang and others, but I have some questions. For example: "River Sage" once said: The Great Wall is a symbol of China's closed country. This statement is in line with the facts.
Is history true? It is said that the Chinese discriminate and oppress women, but the Bible also clearly points out that women are men's dependencies and must be at the mercy of men, and even insult women as whores. Bo Yang said that after Confucianism established its dominance in China,
There have never been philosophers with new ideas, but Fan Zhen, Gu Yanwu, and Dai Zhen are all thinkers with independent opinions... However, I still basically agree with their thoughts. I just feel that some of them have so-called "bad roots"
What they said is not very accurate.
When I looked at world history, I honestly didn’t have any deep feelings at first. I just felt that Westerners had many countries and ethnic groups. There were particularly many wars in Europe, and religious disputes were more frequent... But at this time, I still had no understanding of Western culture.
What a bad impression it created. But my questions have increased: Bo Yang repeatedly ridiculed the Chinese for having a eunuch system, but eunuchs also traditionally existed in Rome and Turkey, and there is also the phenomenon of castrating artists in European countries. Could it be that the eunuch system is not Chinese?
Patent? Moreover, Bo Yang repeatedly mocked the Chinese court stick as "taking off one's pants and spanking the butt", but the Roman Empire also had the tradition of beating ministers to death with sticks, and also cut off their heads... (i.e. the world-famous fascist torture
) Looking at it more carefully, I can’t help but feel confused... A civilized nation, an excellent nation. These conclusions about Europeans that I originally made in my mind can’t help but be shaken one by one!
2,ugly human beings
When I saw ancient civilizations, I also appreciated the splendid culture of Greece and Rome. But when I looked at the history of the Middle Ages, which lasted until the British Parliamentary War, to be honest, I couldn't bear to look at human history anymore.
There is such despicable intrigues in the world, there is such frantic destruction of civilization, there are such bestialities and scandals that even the most barbaric and chaotic tyrants in the East cannot commit!
★Destruction
I once said, "The Chinese destroy culture, such as Xiang Yu burning Afang Palace and Dong Zhuo destroying Chang'an and Luoyang. Foreign countries don't do this kind of behavior!" But I was wrong. Now I know: the ugliness of world history is described as the ugliness of Chinese history.
The unique ugliness further proves that Chinese culture is inferior. Such people are like idiots.
In ancient times, when the Western Rome fell, the Goths, a branch of the Germanic people, burned buildings in Rome. 45,000 houses were destroyed, and 1,800 palaces were burned to the ground. Treasures were robbed, and all the buildings were destroyed.
All the gold and silver treasures and prisoners of war became the burial objects of Alaric, the leader of the Goths, and the books and cultural relics were smashed and destroyed. Even if 100 palaces could equal the size of the Epang Palace, the amount of damage caused by the Goths would still be 18.
Epang Palace, this is an astronomical figure that is astonishing! And the astronomical figures caused by European destruction are far more than these...
In 1618, the Germans were still Germans, with quasi-Mongolian blood flowing in their veins. However, they were called by some people to be a naturally excellent and pure race (actually Hitler claimed to be a pure race), but they shamelessly turned to their own culture.
and the people raised the butcher knife. For religious disputes, in the past 30 years, the Germans invited the Danes, the Swedes, and later the Spaniards and Russians, and almost all neighboring countries to open their doors.
What is the country doing? Commerce? Spreading culture? No! It’s destruction! It’s massacre! Within 30 years, one-third of the German population died, and five-sixths of the buildings were destroyed. Germany’s ancient civilization of nearly 2,000 years
It has almost become a unique skill - it was these outstanding Germans who provoked the Second World War more than 300 years later. The destruction continued, and became more serious, bad and dehumanizing every time!
Not only the Germans, but people from other European countries are also very interested in cultural destruction, and the scale and far-reaching influence are amazing! The Dutch hated the Spanish rulers, so they took it out on culture. They took out their future
The method of destroying Indonesian civilization was to burn down and smash more than 5,500 churches in one go, of which more than 300 were built in the early Roman era and have a history of nearly a thousand years. And the Duke of Alpha in Spain did not show any weakness and brought out their old churches.
Our ancestors' previous methods of exterminating the Inca culture razed Antwerp, the center of Western European civilization and the largest city in the Netherlands, to the ground. Antwerp's financial revenue accounts for half of the entire Spanish treasury. The Spaniards are destroying their own economic lifeline in this way. It is hysterical at best.
To put it harshly, it was schizophrenia——I originally thought that the Europeans were just colonists destroying the culture of other regions. Later I learned that they even refused to let go of their own culture: In 1687, the Venetians used cannons to destroy the culture of other regions.
After the 18th century, powers from Western Europe also came to rob the Parthenon, which was hailed as the "Treasure of Greece", just like burning and robbing the Old Summer Palace! What a nation that destroyed civilization! What is puzzling is that when the Romans annexed
After Carthage, he clearly classified Carthage as one of his provinces and made it part of the Roman Empire. He also set fire to it for six days and six nights. He spread salt around the city and destroyed the culture of Carthage.
The devastation and neglect is really incomprehensible... What is even more terrifying is that I originally knew that the Chinese exchanged their children for food during the famine years, which felt very barbaric. Later I learned that during the Russian expedition to the East, the commander-in-chief Poyakov
[This person was a civil servant], under the pretext of insufficient military rations, he led his subordinates to eat human flesh, both alive and dead, from Moscow to the Heilongjiang River, until they were in a state of darkness and covered with bones... Having said this, I feel very tired. Because.
Only a small number of examples of Europeans destroying culture and destroying human beings have been discussed.
In European history, we rarely see them destroying a palace - this is not a compliment. Europeans destroy culture. On a small scale, they completely destroy a city, and on a large scale, they destroy the civilization of a nation!
A good Roman city, the Gauls came, burned it, the Carthaginians came, burned it, the Goths came, burned it, the Romans governed it themselves, it was still burning! Inca, the destruction of the Mayan civilization, the Crusades
The disasters caused by the conquests, the civil strife and destruction of the Huguenot War, the bloody killings of the Hussite War, the atrocities committed by France and Spain in Italy... If you want to fully understand the cultural achievements of Western civilized people praised by Bo Yang and others, then
Just watch it yourself, you might watch it for three days and three nights and still not finish it.
★Traitor
I used to think that there were many traitors in China, including Qin Hui, Wang Jingwei, and Yuan Shikai, who were not traitors to the country, but also instigated the unfaithful king to kill national heroes such as Yue Fei and Yuan Chonghuan. Therefore, the quality of the Chinese people was too poor and their culture was problematic. No wonder they were bullied and ruled by others.
But I was wrong.
Those who argue that there are many traitors in their own nation are themselves traitors.
Not to mention the fascist seizure of the armies of European countries during World War II, nor the Turks’ organization of Christians to ravage Europe.
The reason why the Germans opened their country and allowed foreigners to invade them that I mentioned just now was because of religious disputes. If there are extenuating circumstances, then the King of England called in Italian and German mercenaries to the British Isles to suppress Kate's attack.
The peasant uprising is simply a bizarre idea that is inferior to animals. The Empress Dowager Cixi united with the British and French soldiers stationed in China to suppress the Taiping uprising. Although it was traitorous, she would not go all the way to "invite" her. In comparison,
Of the two traitorous "brothers and sisters", Cixi and the King of England, it seems that the King of England has even less integrity and personality.
Alaric invaded Rome, and Rome's national hero Stiligo resisted bravely, but was killed by Honorius, the foolish emperor of Rome (and a mentally retarded person). When Joan of Arc was defending France, she was sold for 40,000 francs by the people she defended.
Gave it to the British--this is a terrible method used by gangsters. And it is disgusting!
Do the French treat their national hero as a whore?! Czech general Wallenstein fought for the Kaiser against the Danish invasion, but ended up being tricked into going to the palace and shot with a poisonous arrow - the same gangster method. Yue Fei was killed,
There was also an unfounded charge. Wallenstein's death was really a useless death! When Hannibal was executed by the king he was defending, he sighed: "A man who is so feared by the Romans is about to die!" Punic
The war lasted for hundreds of years, and their civilization was really evident when they poisoned and killed the national defenders at the most critical moment of the war.
What's even more ridiculous is that in the first three wars between Rome and Persia, no matter the victory or defeat, the proud Romans "generously" paid a large amount of gold to the Persian Empire. The Byzantine Empire seemed too rich, so they successively sent 21,000 gold to the Persian Empire.
Pounds of gold were surrendered, even by Justinian.
Napoleon III was defeated in the Franco-Prussian War, and his courtship to the Prussian king who defeated him was disgusting. His descendants also continued the tradition he left behind - on the eve of World War II, the French representative betrayed the Czech Republic in Munich in the hope of gaining peace.
The French actually performed a cheerful group dance in front of the embassy. In the early days of World War II, when they watched their ally Polish soldiers attack Nazi tanks with their long hair, and finally fell off their horses and died, the French hid in the air-raid shelter and watched.
Movie-like appreciation. When the troops arrived in Paris, these French people who felt they were very good elected two traitors, Pétain and Laval, and completely betrayed themselves. After that, did France gain peace? No! Theirs
The Chinese were armed by the fascists, acted as traitors, invaded the Soviet Union, and turned into cannon fodder...these are the ugly faces of European traitors throughout the ages! But they are only part of it.
★Torture
I used to think that the Chinese were good at torture, and the punishments for killing people were various. But I was wrong. Now I know: to describe the cruelty in world history as the unique cruelty in Chinese history, and then argue that Chinese culture is an inferior culture.
This kind of person is like an idiot.
The most terrifying criminal method in China is "Ling Chi", which is to use a knife to cut off the skin and flesh of a person's body bit by bit, and then add a knife to the person's heart. In "civilized" Europe, the Vatican inflicts on people
The execution was not done with a knife, but with a blunt instrument - an oyster shell. Before the execution, the hands and feet were cut off, and after the execution, they would not make a cut in the heart. The person would slowly struggle to death on his own. (
A Greek female geometer was tortured in this way). In France, melted lead water was poured on the human body drop by drop, and then the skin and flesh were removed piece by piece with pliers. Of course, before the torture
, the human body is also sprinkled with a layer of quicklime. As for torture such as gouging out the eyes, cutting off the ears, quartering the body by five horses, and lighting sky lanterns, it is not uncommon in European history, especially when the peasant uprising of Daweiben in Germany was suppressed.
What makes me dumbfounded even more is that during the Thirty Years' War, Europeans invented a kind of "itching punishment", that is, smearing honey and salt on the soles of criminals' feet and letting sheep lick them, so that the criminals laughed to death. It was really "
An extremely clever creation! Xu Yunfeng was once threatened by a pro-American Kuomintang officer in Zhazi Cave: "Can you resist the hundreds of punishments invented by the Americans?" It seems that Europeans' research on torture has continued into modern society.
Still working tirelessly. Even in the actual records of the Vietnam War, all kinds of torture in the United States are modern, which can be called progress.
★Confinement
In the past, I thought that the Chinese restricted thoughts and destroyed culture, such as the prevalence of eight-legged essays and the emergence of *. Now I know that China’s ability to restrict thoughts pales in comparison to Europeans.
In the fifth century AD, Emperor Constantine declared Catholicism the state religion. From then until around the seventeenth century, for 1,200 years, printing was not allowed in Europe (which was equivalent to cutting off the roots of culture), "heretical" scientific research was not allowed, and no scientific research was allowed.
Religious debates are not allowed, and "heretical" creations in culture and art are not allowed. In Spain, men who argue about the Bible are buried alive and women are burned alive. In Germany, add one: after a heretic is executed,
The property belongs to the informer. In France, in the early 17th century, if you dared to hold a piece of printed paper, you would be sentenced to death. Germany's anti-heresy laws and the Inquisition were famous in Europe, and other countries followed suit. It was not easy.
When Martin Luther implemented the religious reform, the "Pope" Calvin of Geneva still did not allow singing, dancing, playing games, wearing beautiful clothes, still banned music, and brutally suppressed the Anabaptists. The European people who had believed in Catholicism for generations had
Being unable to read the Bible is an extremely strange phenomenon, because the Bible can only be copied into books in Hebrew and ancient Greek. Even if you read it, you can't understand it. It wasn't until the Reformation that ordinary people in Europe saw it for the first time.
The Bible is written in the own language. For a nation that confines its thoughts and destroys its culture, it is no wonder that it is helpless in the face of the epidemic of the Black Death. It is no wonder that illiteracy is everywhere, so that the creation of medicine only has a history of more than 200 years.
In China, there are books burned to embarrass Confucians, but in Europe there are no books to burn and Confucians to embarrass.
In China, I think there will be no physical fights between ideological thinkers and Confucianists, and the struggle between Lu Wang and Cheng and Zhu schools of Neo-Confucianism is limited to the scope of debate. At most, some Confucian scholars can be gathered together to have a serious quarrel. Although China has many religions and many
Faith, but there are no religious wars. No matter what kind of religion in China, they will not frequently inflict death sentences on people based on doctrines.
Death penalty! Death penalty! Death penalty! Europe has inexplicably established many names for the death penalty.
Hus and Jerome were sentenced to death for opposing church exploitation, Bruno was sentenced to death for supporting Copernicus's doctrine, and Thomas More was sentenced to death for refusing to recognize the King of England as a religious leader (plans were made to disembowel him
Roasted and fed to animals), and Servetus was roasted alive by the religious reformer Calvin because of his new discovery on blood circulation.
Campanella was imprisoned for 27 years for writing "City of the Sun". He served the country well. Cervantes, who gave an arm in the war, was deprived of his religious membership and lost the right to work because he offended the church.
He died tragically in the slums! As for Rabelais, he escaped from the mob by luck, but his friend who helped him publish "The Legend of the Giant" was killed by a random stick! Even Michelangelo was blamed for his work in "The Last Judgment"
He had "heretical" creative tendencies and was almost sued by the church...
In ancient times, Europeans killed Plato, Socrates and Aesop, and in the Middle Ages they intensified their killing of civilized elites. In European civilization, you have farmers who sow seeds for you, but do you have soil? If so
It will take hundreds of years to grow and prosper. But before that, how many times have you experienced burning, destruction and extinction! The eight-part essay in China was only established for 600 years at most, while the religious extremist rule in Europe was 1,200 years ago.
In 2006, if we compared them with their ability to destroy civilization and imprison thoughts, we Easterners had to admit defeat. Because if people like Li Shizhen, Xu Guangqi, Cao Xueqin, Zu Chongzhi, Li Bai, Du Fu, Ma Jun, and Sun Simiao were in Europe, they would probably be dead.
I have read it hundreds of times, not to mention Shi Naian, the author of "Water Margin"!
★Evil King
There have been some bastard rulers in China that have not been seen in a century. Emperor Yang of Sui, Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty, Emperor Qin II, Emperors Jie, Zhou, and Huan Ling... But please believe me, such thugs and beast-like rulers will never exist in China.
If there are only a handful of them in China, then in Europe, they can find many of the same kind, and their debauchery and violence are far greater than these villains in China! The ugliness of world history is described as Chinese history.
The unique ugliness on the Internet further proves that Chinese culture is inferior. Such people are similar to hooligans.
I don’t want to list the 12 stupid kings of France one by one. There are endless topics about them.
Roman Emperor Nero, a monster born from his uncle's marriage to his niece, was greatly inspired when he saw his mother killing his father when he was a child. As an adult, he became bloodthirsty. In order to seize power, he first cut off his mother's boat.
Because Shen was not dead, he sent warriors to chase him. He stabbed his pregnant wife to death. In addition to spending money and killing indiscriminately, he suddenly burned down the entire Rome on a whim. The fire continued for days and countless people died.
But he stood on the balcony and laughed loudly. As for the cause of the arson, there is no accurate explanation yet. It can only be attributed to "not being mentally normal". There have also been major destructions caused by wars in the East, but such inexplicable destruction
Behavior, I am afraid it is difficult to find even two in the history of the world.
Grakra, the Grand Duke of Romania, did something even more ridiculous. Seeing that the Central Asian businessmen could not take off their hats, he cruelly nailed the Central Asian businessmen's hats to their heads. In order to show his majesty, he inserted a few sticks at the entrance of the palace.
Ten tall iron sticks were used to dress a living person like a barbecue, and a new one was replaced every day, in the name of justice. In fact, it only showed that he was a mentally disturbed person, and Queen Margaret III actually
Having a swimming pool filled with the blood of girls under the age of 12 scared all the civil and military ministers who had girls at home to flee. I don’t know if their cruelty can compare to King Zhou of China, but I know that King Zhou
What he has is a wine pool and a meat forest, which is a manifestation of his luxury. What he relies on to suppress resistance is the cannon and the pot, which is a symbol of his cruelty. Grakra's human flesh forest and Magritte's human blood pool only make me feel cruel and cruel.
Their luxury far exceeds that of Zhou - especially their dehumanized "imagination"! In the past, when I looked at Chinese history, when I saw Tang Zhongzong's daughter poisoning him to death, I felt that it was really inhumane, but when I saw
The Roman Emperor Sevi was beaten to death by his daughter and son-in-law, and the body was immediately thrown into the street for public display, and he was violently run over by a carriage. I couldn't help but marvel: What a civilized nation! Even if China has the evil act of killing its father and regicide,
There is no such crazy, shameless, conscientious and blatant example! Although Ivan the Terrible was great, he could not get rid of the traditional wild nature of Europeans, and eventually smashed his crown prince to death with a scepter (Rebin's
As shown in the oil painting Ivan the Terrible) and Caesar, he was fatally stabbed by his illegitimate son Brude...
When I saw the emergence of a retarded emperor Sima Zhong in Chinese history, I felt ridiculous and shameful. But after understanding less than half of European history, I actually found a group of retarded emperors or kings, except for the aforementioned Grakla
In addition, Charles VI of France was mentally ill, Tsar Fedor of Russia was a fool in the womb, Roman monarch Claudius had polio and was an idiot, and another Roman emperor Honorius, although mentally retarded, was relatively sober because
He has not forgotten to kill Stiligo, the national hero who defended Rome, and has been implicated in many ways!
★Fornication
When I heard that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty raped his own sister, I thought it was outrageous. Looking back at what the Europeans did, I couldn’t help laughing. The Greeks have a great tradition of intermarriage between siblings (Cleopatra’s husband was his
brother), and in Rome, uncles could marry nieces, and half-brothers and sisters could marry. As for the Greek legend, a prince killed his father, married his mother, and had four children with his mother.
The civilized deeds of children can further reveal the deep-rooted incest culture in Europe.
This kind of incest habit seems to have become a long tradition. Hitler's first lover Gilly was his niece. I wonder if it is a continuation of Roman civilization in modern society?! I once saw a comment about the emperor, saying
: Ming Wuzong was the biggest bastard emperor in Chinese history. The reason was that he had committed adultery with the wives of his ministers. In Europe, because emperors were not allowed to take concubines, it was common in palaces in various countries for the king and his ministers’ wives to have sex with each other.
It may not be too much to say that European courts were wife-swapping clubs. In fact, in the 10th century AD, a kind of folk "culture" was formed in which men and women lived together.
If Ming Wuzong is measured by the standard of Ming Wuzong, then European monarchs have become bastards one after another. Of course, its tradition should also be called: bastard tradition. Elizabeth I is the product of this tradition. The great Napoleon was cuckolded, and the excellent Peter Snow King
The empress kept a large number of male pets in the harem, and the powerful Ivan the Terrible attempted to rape his daughter-in-law. The infatuated Queen Marley avenged her lover and murdered her husband... Such a noble palace must have been caused by this far-reaching cultural influence.
to.
If Caesar did not have an improper relationship with King Nicomes when he was on a mission to Asia Minor, he would still be worthy of my admiration. Because Caesar has many titles, dictator for life, head of state, etc... But in Asia Minor
After he came back, he got another title: the queen's love rival. Please take a look at the lyrics of this song that satirizes Caesar's homosexuality: Caesar conquered Gaul, Nicomes conquered him. Caesar triumphed bravely, because
He conquered Rome. Nicomes did not triumph, but he conquered Caesar!
★Conspiracy
Some people say that Europeans are aboveboard because when conflicts arise, they do not scheming but resort to duels. I don’t know if the Chinese gangsters who draw death lots for each other (in a form very similar to duels) are also aboveboard.
I want people like this to see how "honest and aboveboard" Europeans are.
Alexander, the ruler of Greece and Macedonia, showed no mercy to those who offended him. He first killed the nephew of his mentor Aristotle, and then took a shot and stabbed his savior to death with his own hands (Europeans always like to do it themselves)
), his ability to kill heroes is by no means inferior to that of Zhu Yuanzhang. What is particularly shameful is that when he killed his good friend who grew up with him, he pretended to be crazy and stupid, pretending to be delirious after drinking the "sacred water", and when he killed his father's old subordinates
, the method was to send assassins to assassinate him - this was a trick that Zhu Yuanzhang could not do. Alexander is known as the King of the Universe and the Pharaoh of Egypt, but if you say that he is "above and aboveboard", then I really don't agree with him.
The Pope is a respected figure in Europe. European monarchs and kings call him "Papa" in a friendly way. It was these good fathers of Europeans who forged an imperial edict in the 8th century AD.
, he deceived European countries into transferring land to him on a regular or irregular basis. The fraud lasted for more than 700 years before it was exposed by Naples historian Vara. The dignified pope acted like a reform-through-labor prisoner, and the fraud lasted for a long time and defrauded a lot of wealth.
It's really unprecedented. There is a saying in the labor camp: I would rather hand in ten bastards than a fraudster. Pope, the father of all the kings in Europe, how do I evaluate you?! This is not the only more shameful fraud.
Something! In the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe, the church sold a large number of "absolution charms" to the public, that is, the souls of people who bought the absolution charms could go straight to heaven. It was just deceiving the people, and it also treated the saints they respected as human beings:
Just pick up a tattered blanket and say it was used by Christ, pick up a tattered turban and say it was worn by the Virgin Mary, and the most shameless thing is to use the bones of the Lord, sheep and other animals as the remains of St. Peter, 5
A gold coin was sold for one piece. If the first pope had a soul in heaven, he would probably cry bitterly in heaven. As for using a pile of chicken feathers to pass off as angel feathers and selling them, it would be even easier for them to do it.
In Germany, there have been four peasant uprisings in more than 40 years, including the Shoe Society Uprising (shoes are a symbol representing poor peasants). The lords and knights deceived the peasants, pretended to sign a peace treaty, then disintegrated the peasant army, and finally carried out a bloody suppression.
Peasants in Wabia and Franconia broke out in uprising twice, and the German rulers repeatedly used such methods: signing a peace treaty, disbanding the rebels, and massacring the peasants. The Chinese even know that you are not joking, and the European monarchs are shameless.
It has reached its extreme.
Similarly, similar situations have occurred in the United Kingdom and France, but the method has changed. They tricked the leaders of the peasant army into negotiating, and then immediately arrested and killed them. They treated the leader of the Zachary uprising, Kaler, the same way they treated the British farmers.
The same is true for leader Taylor. Toussaint Louverture, the leader of Haitian independence, was also arrested by Napoleon through deception - Europeans' aboveboardness? Where is it reflected? Is it reflected in Mr. Dantes' aboveboard stealing of Pushkin?
Will his wife kill Pushkin again in a duel? The most surprising thing is that there was a false tsar in Russia. In Russia, in order to seek power, the emperor's uncle Isky actually hired a handsome, tall, handsome and suave gangster from Lithuania.
Pretending to be the long-dead prince Dimitri, and having the fake tsar appear twice in Russia, is really a super farce in the history of the world's palaces, and a "miracle" that makes people laugh and cry! There are countless such examples in civilized Europe
Lift...
Ivan the Terrible killed his uncle, the emperor's uncle, and the prince. His mother was murdered by a powerful family official. His son was assassinated by Boris, and Boris also died in a daze. The palace of this era was so murderous.
.
In the past 1,000 years, 20 popes have died unexpectedly, and the cause of death of 10 popes is still unknown. This is the aboveboardness of Europe.
Unprecedented and unimaginable frauds, scandals, cruelty, absurdities and farces have appeared countless times in Europe. Do you want to see a history that is several times darker, more terrifying, disgusting, and more ignorant than Chinese history? Then I recommend World History to you.
.
Don’t think of yourself as the only ugly one:
Still the same sentence: describing the common ugliness of mankind as the unique ugliness of one's own nation, and then arguing that Chinese culture is inferior culture - this is a meaningless reflection, and its method is similar to that of an idiot.
At this point, I don’t want to talk too much about the history of the West. I just hope that those who believe in Bo Yang or the ideas promoted in "Heshang" can use their brains, read some books, and read some world history, or Eastern and Western history.
Works about religion and philosophy. If you find it difficult to read, you can also read children's books written by Mr. Chen Bixiang. You can also read children's books about European classical culture. In short, I hope you will not be ignorant and self-confident with only a little knowledge.
He is very knowledgeable, makes random comments, and complains randomly, and he also regards himself as a sensible person with progressive ideas and great personality. He even said ridiculous things like: "North Koreans are an inferior nation, and Koreans are an excellent nation."
In addition, some Chinese people have such remarks, such as: Chinese people are very capable of giving birth to children, but they are not good at anything else. Also: Chinese people are inherently bad as a race.
Even: French people call Chinese people whores (when speaking, the tone is calm and serene, full of affirmative attitude). I want to say to such people: "Your mother is also Chinese, isn't it..." There are even people who say this
: "The Mongols can rule China, so there is something wrong with China's culture." This is nonsense with confused logic. China was ruled by Mongolia for 89 years and Russia was ruled for two and a half centuries. Not only did they capture Baghdad, but they also eventually
After conquering India (the Mughal Dynasty), the Eastern Roman Empire was destroyed by the Turks who had been ruled by the Mongols. According to this statement, wouldn’t the problem of Western culture be more serious?!
There is no need to discriminate against yourself in an extreme way.
Greece has been ruled by aliens for thousands of years. I wonder if those with low self-esteem are interested in using this to belittle Western culture?
The era of the Five Husties was also the period when Western Rome was destroyed. The Huns not only invaded Chang'an, but also invaded Ravenna. For inferiority maniacs, they will only emphasize the humiliation China has suffered before publishing
Regarding culturally inferior remarks, as for the West, it seems that the burning of Rome can represent a bright future for the West. - They will never say anything bad, because most of them do not understand the West at all and are too lazy to understand it. [Note: Lombardy
, Arabs, Slavs, and Bulgaria also invaded Eastern Rome] Both the East and the West have had darkness and humiliation in their history, and both have flaws and deficiencies in their culture. Both China and Rome have experienced foreign invasions many times, and both have experienced cession of territories and indemnities.
Why do some of our compatriots have to humiliate themselves and take great pains to prove that they are inferior nations...
4. Face your own weaknesses:
I admit, and we must also admit, that our country is a developing country, so the average quality of its citizens is lower than that of developed countries.
Therefore, some Chinese people abroad are discriminated against because of their low quality - this is a reality we cannot escape.
Then we might be able to do two things:
1) Justify that you are an inferior nation.
2) Donate to education, or try your best to promote the system that is beneficial to the future of the country.
If I were in Europe or the United States, and I saw Chinese people spitting, making loud noises, driving at speed, picking up groceries, fighting... I would not confirm that the Chinese are an inferior nation, I would hate those who destroyed China's culture
'——A person with etiquette, integrity, benevolence, justice and morality. I will also look for problems in my country's economic and other aspects of the system.
The quality of Chinese people today is generally low. We must admit that the reason is not that the Chinese are inferior, but that the economy is underdeveloped. Therefore, instead of admitting that we are an inferior nation, it is better to admit that the system is backward. Instead of arguing that we are an inferior nation, it is better to have hope.
Donating a little money to the project - even one yuan is valuable.
Some people describe the widespread phenomenon of low quality of citizens in developing countries (Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe) as the bad character of Chinese people, and then argue that the Chinese are an inferior nation. Donations to educational projects are nothing. This is also called
It's a skill.
Some people say: "I discovered that the Chinese people are of low quality, and I am doing it to myself! I am trying to alert the world!" I want to ask these people loudly - do you still have the courage and IQ of a human being?
China's four major condemnation novels: "Official Currents", which exposes the ugliness of the officialdom.
"The Travels of Lao Can" exposes the ugliness of the official family. "Flowers of Evil Sea" exposes the ugliness of the official family. "The Strange Current Situation Witnessed in Twenty Years" also exposes the ugliness of the official family.
The impeachment of the president and the removal of bureaucrats by Americans are also a scandal of the upper class. zgzf reflects on the fact that it is still a scandal of the upper class. Sun Yat-sen, *, Kang Youwei, who have demonstrated the inferiority of the Chinese people and discussed whether the Chinese are inferior, and their attacks
, what are you accusing? You know it without thinking about it. Where is your conscience?!
Others say, ‘Chinese people are not of high quality because Confucianism is pseudo-morality.’ Fart.
In European feudal society, citizens in many countries did not pay attention to hygiene. They defecated in corners and did not take baths. Martin Luther did not argue that "Western religion is false morality", but put forward the slogan of "cleanse religion and rebuild morality". Sun Yat-sen
The teacher mentioned that the quality of the Chinese people is not high, and also called for the reconstruction of morality. Japan's "Educational Purpose" said that "moral education should be based on Confucius to make everyone advocate urban conduct." Only the "Analects of Confucius" of the * era said, "
"Benevolence is a hypocritical slave morality", and as we all know, the consequence of * is another decline in national morality!
The improvement of quality depends on education. Can we improve the quality of Chinese people by digging out their bad qualities? If "The Ugly Chinese" were printed into 1.3 billion copies and distributed to every Chinese, even to illiterate people in remote areas, it would help
Does it contribute to the improvement of the quality of the Chinese people? From this point of view, Bo Yang's IQ is not as good as a rural teacher who helps farmers become illiterate. Or a beggar (such as Wu Xun) who raises funds for education.
I don’t want to belittle Mr. Wu Xun. In our hometown, beggars are called “stinky beggars,” but some people are worse than stink beggars. The strength of a country cannot be achieved by discovering bad traits.
5. System saves the country
The British who believe in Christianity, the Germans who believe in Catholicism, the Japanese who believe in Shinto and the Russians who believe in Orthodox Christianity have completely different cultural traditions, people's character, customs and races!
The reason why they are able to become strong is not to organize an "ancestor-slamming group" to dig out their bad roots and go to Japanese temples or St. Peter's Cathedral to curse incessantly. It is not to change genetic injection drugs to transform themselves into a superior race.
It relies on changing the backward political system to promote economic development and progress. They carried out the industrial revolution, unified the motherland, and the Meiji Restoration. Washington, Cavour, and Dandong did this, and Mr. Sun Yat-sen also followed the same path! The capitalist revolution made
Europe got rid of ignorance and backwardness, allowing the church to gradually abandon anti-heresy laws and the Inquisition. It enabled the people of Europe to create wealth and display their wisdom. The capitalist revolution allowed the originally ignorant and uneducated people to know how to respect science and create
A brand-new civilization restored the minds of people who had been in a daze and developed their imagination and cohesion.
The king was overthrown, the extreme religious rule ended, and the feudal system collapsed. Europe is still a Catholic Europe, but let us see - the fate of Europe before and after the revolution is very different! This is like drawing a line in the entire history of Europe
A dazzling gap appears. Improving the national system and developing productivity is the way for a country to become prosperous and strong. Revolutionaries such as Cromwell were striving to establish a new national system, and no one held his head and thought hard all day long.
: Where is the bad nature of our nation? Tan Houying, the leader of the Red Guards who destroyed Confucius, knows how to reflect. Can’t the Chinese who are trying to save the country by digging out the "bad nature" reflect on it?
It is unthinkable to destroy culture in order to save the country.
Voltaire told the French: We need not be so surprised by China’s achievements that we think its system is the most complete in the history of mankind——
Voltaire emphasized: system.
Montesquieu, who advocated the principle of separation of powers, also talked about the system, rather than shouting: Completely smash the Catholic Church! But someone once shouted: Completely smash the Confucian store. Can this really save China?
, let's go back and see...can we.
Comrade *** made China strong and prosperous, not by criticizing Lin Piao, Confucius and Song Jiang. What he did was to reform the system and develop productivity - this is what is happening around us, and we should understand it.
To save China, we must rely on revolutionaries such as Sun Yat-sen and reformers who adapt to the times. We do not rely on Bo Yang, let alone Nie Yuanzi and Kuai Dafu. The Revolution of 1911 is recognized, but the revolution is denied. Everything is destroyed by extreme means.
The movement of culture for progress can only expose its own bad nature, even cruelty and stupidity in history. The Nazi Party, the Taliban, and some radicals tried to use the means of completely burning a type of culture in exchange for so-called achievements, even if there is no
In war, such people are bound to fail.
In the * era, people called Chinese culture "remnants of feudalism". Now, there are still people calling Chinese culture "sauce vat culture". This is by no means a good sign. I hope history will not repeat itself.
6. We are the despicable sinners!
When I was in middle school, I saw a statistics on the invention rate in Chinese history in a textbook, which made me feel ashamed. China’s invention rate has been relatively high since the Tang Dynasty. Now, we are not qualified to compare with them! Therefore, I
We are only a little bit proud of the achievements of our ancestors, and more of them are ashamed. Instead of comforting ourselves with "We were better than you before" like Ah Q, we should deeply reflect in front of our ancestors: Why do we
Such rubbish! Just like Greece after it was conquered by the northern barbarians, almost every generation of rubbish is produced! We will not make the same mistake again...
As for the culture of cursing, people who curse their ancestors will naturally feel better if they shift the responsibility to the ancients. This may also be a continuation and development of Ah Q's spiritual method of spiritual victory.
Don't vent your anger on the ancients, that's not your skill.
The official system of the Song Dynasty was corrupt, and the military system had serious shortcomings, which led to people being bullied. Later generations would only despise them, but would not complain to the powerful Han Dynasty. People during the Tang Dynasty. China was 2000 years ahead of the world. Legend has it that
In our hands, we have fallen behind. It is necessary and right to reflect on ourselves and be brave and aware of shame, but being brave and knowing shame does not mean venting our anger on our powerful ancestors, but that we should find the reason in ourselves who are lagging behind! This is
It's like a relay race. The person running in front was originally in the lead, but then the baton was passed to the hands of the latecomers but fell behind. If the latecomers spend all their time blaming the people in the lead instead of looking for the reasons why they fell behind, then I think this is the case.
Not only is it cowardly, it's even shameless.
I absolutely do not believe that inferiority complex and people who take pleasure in insulting their own nation can revitalize any country, but I know that people who lack basic historical knowledge yet brazenly publish fallacies. People who wantonly slander Eastern civilization and prove that they are inferior nations are already in China.
With the market, in their eyes, self-esteem is stupid and conservative, self-improvement is hopeless, one must seek truth from facts, and self-blasphemy is the happiest thing! Their theoretical basis is nothing but two magic weapons: one-sidedness and ignorance.
, I firmly believe that most of these people have an eager and eager heart to betray their country.
Learning from each other's strengths and compensating for weaknesses should be the way of thinking and behavior of a normal person.
Edward Gibbon believed that the history of Byzantium's existence for 100 years "has always been a weak and tragic story." However, some scum, ignorant people and fools in our nation so blindly worship all the "civilization" of the West.
. Devouring everything from the West into the soul, not distinguishing between good and bad, not knowing good or bad, not recognizing fragrance and smell, not distinguishing between essence and decay.
Everyone will say that we should take the essence and discard the dross, but who has actually done it? Are our women abandoning foot binding just to get breast augmentation? Is it just to learn about their homosexuality and their ability to spread AIDS?
For example, we envy a developed country. What we need to learn from is its advanced political and economic system, its people's imagination and creativity, and its awareness of human rights and law. As for its shortcomings: laxity, absurdity, cowardice,
There is no need to learn from decadence, let alone imitate their "bad habits", which led to the outbreak of gay parades in big cities.
There are also people who shout: Not having a dog is a sign of lack of love. Holding and loving a pug, but abandoning your parents in a nursing home and not visiting them for several months. Such people are those who take the dross and abandon it.
Its essence. Worshiping the West has reached a state of confusion. In the end, even raising dogs does not raise parents.
I would like to ask those scholars and experts who are digging into the bad roots of Chinese culture: China is in an era of exchange and integration of "Eastern and Western cultures". Should we dig out the bad roots from abroad, or should we not?
In addition to life, a person also has a nation.
Europeans and their descendants have Catholicism, Christianity, Arabs, Indonesians and Iranians have Islam, and Indians have Hinduism... Why is there no place for Chinese traditional cultural thoughts in this world?! What if there are reasons for traditional culture?
Containing some defects and outdated things, it must be characterized as a symbol of "feudal society". So, what crime should the Roman Catholic Church, which brought Europe into darkness, be guilty of? If traditional culture is destined to oppress women, then should we
Can we think that Catholicism is destined to prohibit divorce and forever oppose heresy?! Martin Luther can reform the Catholicism established by "God", can't we improve the ideas and civilization established by our ancestors...
No nation has the right to belittle itself. People without self-confidence and self-esteem have no way out, let alone a nation!
In 1609, the Dutch bourgeoisie established the world's first capitalist republic, which was nearly 200 years ahead of France. However, the French still surpassed them in many aspects! China's inventions in the middle of the Ming Dynasty were 100% of those in the world at that time.
70 (our generation probably does not even have 7%). Since the Europeans, who had always lagged behind China at that time, could surpass us, we must not lose the confidence and hope of surpassing them.
Last autumn, I came to Beijing. Standing in front of the Ming Tombs, I was in awe, but also couldn't help but feel deeply ashamed...Those generations held almost all of East and Southeast Asia in their hands, making them surrender, offer sacrifices, and distant lands.
Russia and the Ottoman Empire, as well as the powerful Mughal Empire in India, were considered great powers. In those generations, they drove away the Mongols who swept across the Eurasian continent. They invaded their land five times and fought all the way to the banks of the Onon River, which cost them a huge amount.
At the price, he quelled the rebellion of the natives in the southwest, conquered the Jurchens without bloodshed, controlled Tubo and Xinjiang, North Korea and Vietnam, defeated the pretentious Japanese and the powerful Dutch, controlled the fate of almost all surrounding countries, and changed the shipping routes
It leads all the way to Africa, bringing them friendship, civilization and cultural exchanges, rather than Western-style killing and destruction. It has been invincible in the world for hundreds of years.
And us, I'm thinking: In comparison, we are really despicable sinners!
Yes, no matter how far and long the Yellow River is, it will merge into the sea, but the blue sea is not formed by the water of the Danube River.
The same is true for a diverse world, and multicultural America is a role model.
With their advanced economies, developed countries have transformed African culture: beer, bread, solar calendars, dance (disco). They have transformed American culture: cigarettes, capella, and transformed European classical culture: bowling balls, and more.
Transformed Australian culture: grass dance, bungee jumping. The United States regards the birthday of Confucius as Teachers' Day.
With the progress of some backward countries, India's yogaya has enriched our lives. Indian herbal medicine is also a manifestation of advanced civilization. I hope that with the development of South Asia's economy, it will soon be presented to the world to make our lives richer.
,Complete.
The gradual prosperity of the economy has enabled China to gradually introduce martial arts, tea culture, drum music, and ethnic minority music to the world. Bruce Lee's movies and Jin Yong's novels have long been familiar to the West, and there will be more and more in the future. Work hard.
Ah, the Chinese!
In early 2004, the cultural rescue project organized by Mr. Feng Jicai held a grand opening ceremony in the Great Hall of the People.
I think of Charlemagne's first cultural renaissance, and I hope we don't give up halfway!
Brave and aware of shame. Not bad.
Sober Chinese people should start from themselves. Because we are the unfulfilled sinners in the history of the Chinese nation. China, wake up!
