"Hello sir!"

Everyone stood up and bowed, and Mr. Cen put down his top hat and crutches, and slowly walked up to the podium, bowing his head.

"Sit!" Jiang Yu shouted.

"Sir, what are you going to tell us today?" Zhu Yizhi was the most positive.

Mr. Shum never needs a textbook in his class, he is a living encyclopedia, and the children love to listen to his classes the most.

"When I'm old and my brain isn't very good, I'll just talk about it, and you can listen to it casually, I'm just stating, and you can set up your own opinions. ”

Mr. Cen thought about it, and began to write on the blackboard two beautiful regular scripts that seemed to be printed - "Civilization." ”

"Today, let's talk about civilization. ”

"Leaving aside the history of the great empires of antiquity, which has not yet been recognized by the academic community, then our lesson today will only start from 4,200 years ago. Writing was there, cities were there, bronze and metal smelting techniques were available, and civilization began to mature. ”

"When the Mesopotamian civilization in the two river basins matured and developed, the Chinese civilization was only beginning to see the light of day, and after him, there were Egypt and India, and the four major civilizations are the original sites of all civilizations today. ”

"It is very strange why the original site of these civilizations has developed into a backward region with frequent wars and strife, and it is always a state of constant disasters and artillery fire, which is completely a state of rebellion. The only civilization that has survived to this day is the Chinese civilization. ”

"Although the civilization of the two river basins is ancient, it has no archives, and it will always be a battlefield, and it will always be a battlefield for thousands of years. So they themselves can't figure out what the ancient stuff is. Even their cultural and educational situation is very poor. ”

"The Egyptians don't even know what hieroglyphics are. To make matters worse, there is nowhere to find the descendants of the pharaohs in Egypt, and in Alexandria we can now meet almost all Caucasians, the result of a mixed race of European aggression. ”

"India seems to be all there on the surface, all of them are legacious, but unfortunately they have been interrupted countless times, they have perished countless times, and no one has even recorded this process. Their history is no longer clear. ”

"There is only one place in the world where all children can recite the words of the old man 2,500 years ago normally, such as "there must be my teacher in the threesome", "learn the new from the past", "have friends from afar", can write hieroglyphs that have been evolving for thousands of years, and sing the historical picture scroll and cultural inheritance of thousands of years. It's unimaginable. But this really happened in the hot land of China, which is the only place where civilization has not been interrupted since it entered 4,200 years ago. This is our empire, everyone's China. ”

The students listened intently, and no one noticed that Kolotia, who had changed into a bird uniform, also came in through the back door, and sat down in her seat to listen to Mr. Cen lecture.

"The Three Emperors and Five Emperors completed the preparatory stage before the leap forward in the Yellow River Valley, and by the 5th century BC, a major event had taken place in Chinese civilization along with other civilizations in the world. The smartest men of all mankind were born together. ”

"Everyone stepped into the threshold of civilization before and after, and then the quantitative change to the qualitative change, the intelligence exploded, human beings matured together, the wise collided together, and a hundred schools of thought contended - Confucius was 14 years younger than Sakyamuni, 10 years after the death of Confucius, Socrates in ancient Greece was born, Aristotle, the smartest philosopher in ancient Greece, was 12 years older than Mencius, 15 years older than Zhuangzi, and Archimedes and Han Feizi were only 7 years apart......"

"That era was called the Axial Age by the Frankish School in Germany, and it was at that time that the Axis Star of human wisdom was born. At critical moments, Chinese civilization was not absent, while ancient Greek philosophers were thinking on the Greek seaside, Indian philosophers were meditating on the banks of the Ganges, and Chinese philosophers were walking on the banks of the Yellow River. ”

"But this was not enough, after entering the imperial era, the Roman Empire and the Qin and Han Empires faced a common enemy, the nomads. The arrival of the Xiaoice period made the unsustainable nomads can only plunder south, both in the east and in the west, they have suffered from barbarian invasions, the Western Roman Empire was destroyed by the Germans, the Eastern Roman Empire was destroyed by the Ottoman Turks, and the Babylonian Kingdom was destroyed by the Hittites. ”

"But we have also seen two major catastrophic barbarian invasions in Western history---- the Xiongnu invasion and the Mongol invasion. The former completely destroyed the slavery system in Europe, while the latter contributed to the spread of Eastern civilization and laid the groundwork for the Renaissance movement in the West. ”

In China, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, unprecedented ethnic integration and cultural exchanges in history also began, although this seemed to be a bloody history of war in later generations, but it was in this war that other civilizations entered Middle-earth, Han culture, Indian culture, Greek civilization, Persian culture, Babylonian culture gathered here, and important cultures from all over the world were invited to be teachers of Chinese civilization. ”

"We can go to the Yungang Grottoes in Datong, Shanxi Province to have a look, and when you go in, you will feel very strange, why is this not a Roman column? Yes, that is the remnants of Greek civilization, those Buddha statues are Gandhara and Mogara culture, and they are the symbols of Indian civilization; why are they all high noses and deep eye sockets? This is the remnants of Greek sculptors, as well as Persian culture, and Babylonian culture, all of which are there, and the Yungang Grottoes alone have become a great gathering of world civilizations. ”

In the 5th century, when Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he advocated intermarriage among various ethnic groups and cultural eclecticism, creating a new generation of strong, well-educated rulers with great talents. Therefore, a great dynasty is coming soon, and this dynasty is called the Tang Dynasty. ”

"I know this!" Liang Shenyue immediately said, "Emperor Yang of Sui and Tang Taizong and Tang Gaozong both have Xianbei blood, and Queen Dugu is also of Xianbei blood. ”

"Yes. The integration of various ethnic groups and civilizations has ushered in the evolution and prosperity of Chinese civilization. ”

"When a city of 10,000 people in Europe was already a decent metropolis, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the starting point of the Silk Road and the Grand Canal, the center of the world's economy and culture, and the heavenly Baiyujing with a population of one million, was 7 times the size of Constantinople and 6 times that of Baghdad. 2 times, 9.7 times the area within the city wall of Xi'an, more than 70 diplomatic missions from various countries, more than 30,000 foreign students, Arabic pasta, Roman medicine popular people from all over the world, etc., brought the seeds of their own civilization, Byzantine gold coins and Persian silver coins are common, and the religions of various countries are harmonious and different here. ”

"Do you feel déjà vu in some superpower right now?"

"Amenica?" someone muttered in disbelief.

Mr. Cen was just about to answer, but suddenly someone in the last row stood up and shouted, "No!

Everyone looked back, and Dr. Kolotia's eyes were solemn, as if he had something to say.
