Section 28 travels to the history of the Great Song Sect 4
Xiao Fei tirelessly continued: "The civilization of the Great Song Dynasty was far higher than that of any country in the world at that time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Song Dynasty was a kingdom of heaven and a great kingdom in the eyes of barbarians and aliens at that time. The Song people were excellent and noble people in the eyes of foreign countries. Therefore, it is not surprising that foreign countries and barbarians look up to the Song Dynasty and the Song people so highly, so you here should feel extremely proud and proud as a Great Song person. ”
He then said with a fluttering eyebrow: "The Great Song Dynasty should actually be called the Great Song Empire, and it really deserves to be called a veritable China - the country of the central government and the country of Zhongxing. The number of cities with more than 100,000 households in the Song Dynasty increased from more than 10 in the Tang Dynasty to 40, and Bianjing and Lin'an became the fourth and fifth cities in the world with a population of more than one million after Chang'an, Luoyang and Nanjing. Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty, was more prosperous and open than Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. It can be described as 'eight wildernesses contending, all countries are connected.' ''The Boat and Car Club of All Nations, Wei Xiong, the Celestial Elephant. 'The number of aliens who came to China far exceeded that of the Tang Dynasty, both in variety and quantity. Most of the foreigners in the Tang Dynasty came from the Western Regions of Asia, Arabia, Korea, and Japan. In addition to these places, the Song Dynasty also expanded to Africa, Europe and other places. It can be said that the Song Dynasty was more open and prosperous than we imagined, and the Tang Dynasty, which was incomparably prosperous, was more open and prosperous.
Merchants in the Great Song Dynasty were more active, as noted in A Brief History of Ancient Chinese Economy, Song ships had sailed throughout the Indian Ocean, including Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka), the Indian subcontinent, the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula, and even as far as Somalia in Africa. The famous French sinologist Xie Henai lamented that until the 11th and 12th centuries, the Chinese had not shown commercial talent. But after the Song Dynasty, business ability became one of the most outstanding qualities of the Chinese.
The people of the Great Song Dynasty are especially respected by all ethnic groups at home and abroad, and they must be warmly welcomed by the people at that time whenever they go to all parts of the world. When the people of the Song Dynasty went to Goryeo, 'it is the day when the people of Goryeo greet Shao, and they will look at the country and cheer and sigh!', and the people of the Song Dynasty went to Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. ’
Xiao Fei smiled slightly and continued: "So naturally there is such an interesting conversation, which is recorded in the "Qingbo Magazine" - the Wa Kingdom (Japan) was floating on the (Song) realm in a boat, and there were three or twenty people in a group. Women are all sent, meet Zhongzhou (China) people, choose the beautiful person to recommend the bed, the name of the 'degree species'. This account says that when Japanese women came to Song Dynasty China, they took the initiative to sacrifice themselves when they met beautiful men in the Song Dynasty, in order to give birth to offspring and improve the Japanese race. Hong Hao, a native of the Song Dynasty, recorded in the "Records of the Pine Desert" that the Uighurs had been immersed in the Uighurs since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and when the current dynasty was prosperous, there were people who lived in Qinchuan as familiar households. Female unmarried people first communicate with the Han people, and they can match their types when they have several children who are nearly 30 years old. The matchmaker came to discuss, and the parents said, my daughter tasted a nickname with someone, and the more wins, and the customs are the same. Today, there are also people with deep eyes and no beard, and they are born with Han'er. This historical account is to the effect that during the Song Dynasty, it was the tradition of young Uighur women who were unmarried and had a first relationship with the Han people of the Song Dynasty. But the Uighurs were not ashamed, but proud. When marrying their daughters, Uighur parents will proudly proclaim that my daughter has lived with a Han Chinese, and that the more Han Chinese she has, the more honorable she will be. Therefore, the Uighur descendants have a large number of mixed-race children, and they are all descendants of the Han people in the Song Dynasty, which can be regarded as promoting the great integration of various ethnic groups in China. ”
Xiao Fei didn't deliberately translate into the vernacular for those children, they understood it as soon as they heard it, obviously they said it to me deliberately. But I really underestimated me, although I am a little unsatisfactory in the literature and literature of modern society, but I have also stayed in ancient times for some years, how can these simple words stump me? But thinking about it, thinking about it, I suddenly thought that when I was in modern society, I often accidentally browsed articles such as "Why Western Women Don't Marry Chinese Men" on the Internet, which is really different from what it used to be.
But the point written in it is very interesting, why not marry a Chinese man? There are several reasons, the first is that Chinese men are generally not handsome enough and not tall enough. First of all, the face is flat, not as undulating and angular as Western men. The second is that most Chinese men are not sexy enough. Why is it not sexy enough? It is said that because there is no hair on the chest, it is flat. Westerners, on the other hand, believe that a man's sexiness is reflected in the sun-tanned skin and furry on the chest, and then sprayed with some perfume, which is enough to charm many ladies. I disagree, because the sexiest thing is the gorilla with a little perfume. Thirdly, many Chinese men lack humor, but I think Orientals also understand humor, but it is not the same as Western humor. Fourth, many Chinese men are not graceful enough. But there is some truth to this. In the West, it is a matter of course for women to give priority, especially when it comes to life-threatening times, as a man, you must leave the chance of survival to women, just like the movie "Titanic" that we still remember.
But they are all Chinese, why Chinese men a thousand years ago were loved and hot, and foreign girls rushed to send them to the door. And a thousand years later, the conclusion is diametrically opposite? It is simply sent to the door and no one cares about it, and it is so neglected that one has to think about the reason: why do the Uighurs and the Japanese of the Great Song Dynasty think so highly of the Song people at this moment? Why are they proud to dedicate their beautiful women to the men of the Song Dynasty? And a thousand years later, they are so different?
Just as I was in my reverie, Xiao Fei's sonorous and powerful words just interpreted my question: "Because all this is due to the advanced international status of the Song Dynasty at that time and the highly developed civilization of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was far ahead of the world in terms of economy, culture, science and technology, etc. Just as the famous French sinologist Xie Henai said, China (Song Dynasty) was undoubtedly the most advanced country at that time in the fields of social life, art, entertainment, system, and technology, and it had every reason to regard the rest of the world as a mere barbarian state. ”
Xiao Fei did not wait for the applause below to be like thunder, and continued to draw on the side: "The famous historian Qi Xia pointed out that during the reign of the Song and Song Dynasty, China's economic and cultural development was at the forefront of the world, and it was the most advanced and civilized country at that time. The world-renowned economic historian Gondefrank also believes that in the Song Dynasty in the 11th and 12th centuries, China was undoubtedly the most economically advanced region in the world. Since the Song Dynasty in the 11th and 12th centuries, China's economy has far surpassed the rest of the world in terms of industrialization, commercialization, monetization, and urbanization. Japanese historians of the Song Dynasty have concluded that the Song Dynasty is the most attractive era in Chinese history. From the remarks of historical experts in various countries, we can see that the Great Song Dynasty is indeed an incomparably advanced, civilized and open country.
Some believe that the Tang Dynasty was the heyday of ancient Chinese culture. The most important representative of Tang civilization is Tang poetry, which is recognized as the pinnacle of the development of ancient poetry, and Tang poetry is better than Song poetry. However, the Song civilization surpassed the Tang civilization in six main aspects: education, classics, science and technology, historiography, Song poetry and prose. The Song Dynasty continued to be at the leading level in the world in terms of education, science and culture, and we can boldly say that the Song Dynasty was actually on the eve of the development of capitalism. If there was ever a time in Chinese history to develop capitalism, then I think it must be the world depicted in the Qingming Shanghe diagram, the Renaissance of the East, and the civilization of the Song Dynasty that deeply influenced the world. Therefore, it can be said that the Chinese society during the Song Dynasty was the most prosperous, developed and promising period in China's thousands of years of feudal history. However, this rising hope has long since fallen behind the cliff mountain with the blood-red remnant sun, and has become the moon in the water, and the flower in the mirror, which can only make future generations melancholy and sigh, it is impossible for you to know this history in the future, because it will take a long time to happen, and only your children and grandchildren will know. So it's useless to sigh here—"
