Chapter 475: Stand Up
"I ......"
Hearing Guo Dalu ask, Shi Yunjin was slightly stunned, and then said: "We are talking about culture now, not archaeology!"
Guo Dalu was also stunned: "No, isn't archaeology a means to prove the authenticity of ancient culture?"
Shi Yunjin said impatiently: "What is really not true? Western culture has already been clearly placed there, "Geometric Originals", "Homer's Epic", and "Poetics" and other works are clearly placed there, what is there to explain?"
Guo Dalu was dumbfounded, "Dude, according to what you say, culture only needs to be learned, and there is no need to trace its authenticity at all?"
Shi Yunjin said vaguely, "You are an inexplicable person, how can it be a fake Western classic culture that so many people admire and study? Could it be that our ancestors couldn't even tell the truth from the falsehood of their history and culture? Couldn't they see this from so many people who had studied Chinese and Western literature and history before? Guo Dalu, don't you grandstand and engage in some untenable gimmicks to stir up nonsense!"
Guo Dalu laughed, "Your grandmother's, you guy is flashing, it seems that you also know that Western history is unreliable!"
He slowly stood up, glanced at the crowd, and laughed softly: "I don't believe that you people can't see that there is something wrong with Western history. The reason why everyone in literature and history during the Republic of China did not see the error of Western history was because the national strength was weak at that time, and the literati of the whole of China had an extremely inferior complex, believing that we were not only inferior to them in terms of race, but also far behind in cultural history. Why did some people advocate **** at that time? Because they were extremely inferior, they thought that everything in the West was the best, including their history and culture!"
The entire conference hall was extremely quiet, only Guo Dalu's voice sounded slowly, "During the Republic of China, there were indeed many great scholars, but they were all studying, not researching! They are too naΓ―ve, thinking that the Western history they know is like the history of China that has been passed down from generation to generation. Coupled with the national conditions at that time, they only focused on learning and had no time to study and question. Of course, because of their inferiority to their own culture, it is difficult for them to have doubts in mind. β
Shi Yunjin's face was extremely ugly, "Guo Dalu, you are talking nonsense! How can Western culture be fake? Could it be that the drama, Western poetry, geometric knowledge, and philosophical speculation methods that we know do not exist? These things all really exist, how can they be fake?"
Guo Dalu said with a smile: "Culture does exist, but history may not be true! But if history is false, then the continuation and inheritance of their culture is not enough to put gold on their faces! So far, no physical objects have been unearthed to correspond to the so-called Greek history. We can now find physical or written things to prove it, but there is no written record of Greek culture unearthed in the West so far!"
"Looking at the world, only Chinese culture has not had a cultural fault, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, extending to this day, but even so, there are still many things that are unclear, and ancient legends can only survive. And the so-called civilization of the West has been destroyed many times, once lost its own writing and language, and after a while, it will be dominated by another culture, so that now, they can't even recognize the words left by their ancestors, in this case, they actually preserved their own history very carefully? I admire them!"
Guo Dalu looked at the people in the conference hall: "Of course, I admire you even more! You haven't eaten a few bites of Western genetically modified food, and now the genes have already begun to change! I believe that there will be no doubters of Western history and culture among you, but because you all point to this business to eat, and your teachers, your teachers' teachers, and some academic masters, they also have great respect for Western history. β
"So for the sake of your own jobs and the face of your teachers, even if you are suspicious, you don't dare to tell it, your selfishness prevents you from doing this!"
Shi Yunjin stood up and roared, "A bunch of nonsense! A bunch of nonsense! What evidence do you have to prove that they are fake?"
Guo Dalu said with a smile: "Brother, archaeology has always proved itself true and false, I say they are false, they have to prove that their history is true, and then they can find evidence to slap me in the face." β
"Westerners said at first that our Shang Dynasty was fake, and later after the oracle bone inscriptions appeared, we confirmed the existence of the Shang Dynasty. Annoyed and angry, they began to shout again that our Xia Dynasty did not exist. Now that our Xia Dynasty ruins have been excavated, we have once again proved our historical heritage. Then they said that our history is less than 5,000 years, but the Sanxingdui civilization that we recently unearthed is almost 5,000 years ago! I estimate that after a while, they will begin to doubt the authenticity of our ancestors, the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors!"
Guo Dalu said with a smile: "They have always questioned us, why can't we question them? A descendant of a barbarian who has no own inheritance of culture takes it as fun to question the oriental culture, and we are actually influenced by their public opinion and doubt our ancestors with them! Isn't this too funny? Everyone, is it good to have a little self-esteem? We may not be able to compare with science and technology, but if we say that we are more historical and cultural, any country is a cultural dwarf in front of our country!"
The faces of everyone at the scene were extremely ugly, and someone shouted: "You are all speculation and nonsense!"
He screamed hoarsely, his face showed panic, Guo Dalu's words were simply a complete negation of their life's work, and these people naturally felt angry and panicked.
Guo Dalu glanced at this person, "Since you said that I said it was nonsense, then you can refute me in kind!
The person on the other side muttered for a long time, "Could it be that the Acropolis is fake? Venus with a broken arm is also fake, and the David sculpture is also fake?"
Guo Dalu said with a smile: "You go and inquire carefully to see whether these buildings are ancient buildings or restorations? When were those sculptures discovered? Why did they happen to be concentrated around the 18th century? Why were they even in the 18th century when there was an orderly compilation of Western history? Is Greece a country or a primitive tribe? This is a very doubtful thing. β
He sighed and glanced at everyone, "The things of the ancestors may not all be fake, and the things of the ancestors abroad may not all be true. A little courage, okay? We can't keep kneeling, can we? Can we straighten up and say no to something?"
