Chapter 755: Protect traditional culture (middle)

I have to say that during the more than two hundred years when the Manchu Qing ruled China, they were really tireless in destroying books. In order to castrate traditional Han culture, they even did not hesitate to use various literary inquisitions, and even began to collect them openly and secretly. All kinds of books are then destroyed with the help of the so-called Sikuquanshu and other reasons. In the end, let them let a large amount of Han culture be annihilated in history, and then there is not much that can be recovered all the time. They destroyed a lot of the real essence, but praised a lot of the so-called dross.

"At that time, in order to attack our Han culture, the Manchu court destroyed all the essence, and then tried to improve some of the dross. And they even encouraged the so-called women's foot binding, which we all admit is the dross in our Han culture. But how did the Qing Dynasty deal with us dross? They have double standards. They ordered that women’s feet should not be bound when facing their own bannermen, but they encouraged us women to bind their feet openly and secretly, so this is enough to show them In order to suppress our national spirit, then erase all the real essence, and then promote some of the dross in Han culture, just hoping to better enslave and rule us Han people. In order to achieve their full Qing imperial family For the interests of one family, we will not hesitate to destroy the essence of our Han culture again and leave some dross, so that our Han culture will suffer a catastrophe." Shi Maozhou said.

Wang Guorui also nodded at this statement, because the Manchu Qing Dynasty had indeed destroyed many essences of Han culture over the past two hundred years, but they vigorously promoted those dross. Some essential parts are either destroyed or otherwise refrigerated. On the contrary, the little foot-wrapping thing developed vigorously, and then reached its peak after the early years of the Qing Dynasty. This would not have been possible without the Manchu Qing's support behind it.

Any culture also has its essence and its dross. Wang Guorui also admitted that Han culture is not absolutely perfect, and some bragging Han culture is perfect. Wang Guorui didn't think so either. Because the inheritors of a culture are complacent and think that their knowledge and civilization are perfect, they are very close to decline.

Any attitude towards civilization is based on taking its essence and discarding its dross, and then gradually improving it. Back then Confucius said that three people must have my teacher, and there is also the so-called spirit of not being ashamed to ask others. But the Confucianists of later generations became rigid②② and transformed step by step. I am unwilling to learn from others, and even stubbornly think that I am the real top. In fact, any civilization also has its advantages. There is no absolutely perfect civilization. Every civilization has its side worth learning, but it definitely has its dross side. In terms of civilization progress, there is only better, not best.

But in this case, it depends on how you treat the essence of this civilization and its dross. Normal people use it to get the essence. The attitude of letting go of its dross. But when it came to the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, it happened exactly the opposite. He took the dross and destroyed the essence instead, so as to achieve their goal of enslaving the vast majority of the people with a small number of people.

Of course, there are reasons why the Confucianists of all ages were complacent, but the Manchus claimed to have inherited Chinese civilization, but they adopted this attitude towards the progress of civilization, so it is very obvious what their intentions are.

"Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne, that is to say, you have abolished some stereotypes and bad habits of the feudal era. Especially the stereotypes and bad habits of binding feet. This must be abolished as soon as possible. Because binding feet is an out-and-out traditional feudal dross, they want to avoid women Can gain enough status. Do not hesitate to use this behavior of mutilating women's bodies to maintain the so-called feudal etiquette. And this is the destruction of human nature. This is absolutely dross in Han culture, and it must be eliminated. "

"However, what is the essence and what is the dross, the standard for measuring this thing is also impossible to measure completely. Westerners also have a saying, that is, there are a thousand Hamlets for every thousand people. And We were in the period of Manchu Qing rule. There was also a famous "Dream of Red Mansions", which was also in a similar situation. Different people saw this Dream of Red Mansions and they all had different opinions, so it is enough to show that the same is true in terms of culture. Some rotten Confucians are stubborn , stubbornly believes that everything should be inherited."

"However, many traditional cultures can no longer keep up with this era. Any culture must be changed according to the times. Then remove those things that cannot keep up with the times, and then leave behind those things that can keep up with the times. To judge a cultural content Whether it is the dross or the essence, in fact, it should be judged whether it can keep up with the needs of the times. If it cannot keep up with the needs of the times, it will destroy the human body and mind, then it is absolutely dross.”

And Wang Guorui also immediately nodded and said: "Yes, that's right, that's it. I think that culture and tradition can't be done at the cost of harming human body and mind, and if you violate this, it is absolutely dross." For example, in the past, binding feet and so on, this not only hurt women's bodies, but also hurt women's hearts. And some people call it traditional culture. Is it true that our Chinese man's culture is based on mutilating Are women built on bodies and minds?"

"Could it be that we Chinese men can't torment outsiders, so we take our own women to vent our anger? In order to satisfy some perverted hobbies, do we just kill our wives and daughters for this? And then we have to pass it down from generation to generation? So this The so-called customary culture that harms our human body and mind must be abolished."

"Of course, some things that are not harmful to our bodies and minds can also be checked as appropriate. Of course, we must also look at them with a scrutiny attitude. Maybe it doesn't hurt people now, but time has passed, and maybe it will be the same in the future , which will definitely be phased out gradually.”

Wang Guorui has a very simple and easy-to-understand standard for whether the so-called culture is the essence or the dross. All harm to human body and mind is absolutely dross. If a so-called traditional custom is to be established on the premise of harming the human body and mind, it is absolutely a dross. For example, what is said about women's bound feet, and the **** system in the palace, these are all based on the cost of mutilating human bodies and even souls, so they must be abolished.

In the era of Manchu Qing rule, those essences were either destroyed or dealt with coldly, and they did not take the initiative to mention them. But for those dross, they took out all the dross as an explanation in their favor, and even as a standard.

This must have caused a lot of distortions in Chinese cultural values, which is also very fatal.

However, although Han culture has dross, it is not without essence. For example, he taught people to pay attention to "righteousness" and not to talk too much about "benefit". Emphasizing justice over profit is the teaching of traditional Confucianism for ordinary people, and this can even lead to many things that are beneficial to social morality. For example, judicial officials abide by their duties and are not seduced by those who offer bribes. Confusion, always upholding the heart of justice, this is to value righteousness over profit.

And there are others who persuade others to be kind, this is the essence, and must be encouraged. These are also the essence, no matter what era it is, they must be preserved, and they can help the establishment of the correct values ​​of the nation. In the Manchu Qing era, those were all distorted, and those guys completely developed a style of bullying and fearing the hard. If you are not strong enough to fight against foreign enemies, then you will form a kind of **** thinking. If you can't bully outsiders, you will bully your own subordinates.

The emperor got angry with the foreigners, and then vented to high-ranking officials. High-ranking officials were offended by the emperor or his colleagues of equal status, and they all went to their subordinates, and the subordinates scolded them layer by layer, and finally they were angry but they were not ordinary people? And what should ordinary people do when they get angry? They also choose to torment their own women, and then they rely on the so-called husband-for-wife guide to torment their own women. What the **** is this? I am incompetent but find someone with a lower status to vent my anger.

And in the end let the woman bear the consequences~lightnovelpub.net~This is some kind of crap! This kind of bully is afraid of the tough, and those who can't fight hard, just look for soft persimmons. If it's on the battlefield, then you're fine, but this is against yourself! Men can't beat men, so they vent their anger on women. This is the so-called cultural dross.

For example, it is a very good saying to say that you should not do to others what you do not want to be done to you, but there are not many people who actually do it. On the contrary, those men in ancient times had a morbid mentality in order to prevent their women from cheating. Why did they deliberately bind their feet, why did they keep women from going out of the door, and what kind of virtue is a woman without talent? In fact, these are not all brought about by those cultural dross. As a man, he is suspicious all day long, and if he can't deal with others, he will use women to vent his anger.

Although it is undeniable that some women will cheat, but this is definitely a very small number. Since ancient times, in fact, men cheat more, and women cheat more. As a result, because of very few things that happened, he became suspicious because of this **** thing, and then he did not hesitate to use this method of tossing women to protect his face. This is the so-called Chinese man, but he bullies his own woman when he can't bully outsiders. Of course, this is out-and-out cultural dross.

These things must definitely be abolished, and must be abolished as soon as possible to avoid more bad influences. (To be continued.) uw
