Chapter 259 corroboration

The Liao Dynasty was one of the Chinese dynasties established by the Khitan people, and was called a brotherly alliance with the Northern Song Dynasty, and had deep cultural and economic exchanges. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Khitan people are not completely nomadic people, originating from the Xianbei tribal branch, slowly evolved into a semi-nomadic and semi-cultivating weaving people during the Five Dynasties period, and the culture was also influenced by the Chinese Han culture, and the Tang Dynasty formed a Dahe alliance with the Tang Dynasty, and later the Uighurs ruled, and then formed an alliance with the Northern Song Dynasty.

The birthplace of Khitan is in the northeast of China, bordering ancient Goryeo, after the end of the Tang Dynasty, China's control over Goryeo decreased, Khitan and ancient Goryeo had a lot of contact, but it was not annexed, until the Yuan Dynasty unified China, Huaxia once again became the suzerainty of Goryeo, the three surnames of the Goryeo royal family, Li, Pu, and Cui Zhong's Pu surname was given by the Yuan Dynasty, and the surname Li was given by the Tang Dynasty.

Park is homophonic in Chinese, and you can also see the attitude of the Yuan Dynasty towards Goryeo at that time, but no matter what, the culture of Goryeo has not had the so-called independent origin conditions of culture from ancient times to the present, but the entire cultural system has been influenced by Chinese culture.

So the invention of 'movable type printing' is really ridiculous.

However, the more this kind of country that has no right to speak and belongs to its own national culture and history, the more it hopes to build a kind of hometown for the people that 'our country is better than other countries', because this is a kind of cultural pride, and only with cultural pride can there be cohesion for the country and the so-called patriotism.

But the more you want to highlight the 'pride', the more inferior it is.

Although China has been hit hard in modern times, and its economy and status are not optimistic, it does not need to establish this kind of 'cultural pride' excessively because of its 5,000-year-long history, because China's cultural status is internationally recognized and affirmed, and there is no doubt about it.

At the same time, the U.S. imperialists, who have only been founded for less than 300 years, do not have their own traditional culture and history, and almost all of them learn from England and other countries, but because of their economic prosperity and explosive development after World War I, they do not need to establish this kind of 'cultural pride', because they are creating a brilliant culture, and the so-called 'American imperialist dream' can not only unite the American imperialist nation, but also unite many people from other countries and nationalities in the world.

If the United States really wants to count from the definition of 'native', it can have an Indian indigenous civilization with a long history, and it has brought together many ancient indigenous civilizations such as the mysterious Mayan civilization.

However, due to the massacre of European colonists in the 16th century, the prejudice that the Indians were 'inferior' caused by this discrimination made most American imperialists unwilling to admit that they were descendants of the Indian nation, which can be regarded as a kind of 'blood inferiority'.

Moreover, the US imperialists rarely tout their own country's culture, which is similar to that of China because it has the background and self-confidence, and does not need to use this kind of illusory reputation to attract attention, and the great powers only believe in real strength.

The weaker the cultural group that wants to get attention, the more likely it will always want to exaggerate and improve the cultural height of its own nation to show its strength, which is a very normal 'inferiority complex'.

Anyone is like this, no one wants to have a weakness and is afraid of being ridiculed.

This point of Goryeo is much worse than Dongying's consciousness.

However, it is also understandable, after all, a nation that has been colonized and enslaved from ancient times to modern times, this inferiority complex has almost been in the genes of every descendant, so once something is discovered in culture, it is almost a climactic effect.

The so-called four great inventions of China changed the world, which was envied by Goryeo for a long time, and now a physical artifact unearthed earlier than anyone else can prove that the printing technology in it may have originated in Goryeo, which made the whole country sensational, almost a state of carnival.

In addition to submitting an application to the United Nations, a series of activities centered on the printing press were also carried out, including memorial memorials, popularization, and various peripheral souvenirs and film and television series activities.

In fact, this is not only an academic discovery, but also a commercial discovery, after all, this gimmick can derive a number of peripheral industries, and at the very least, the media will make a lot of money.

However, the transient effect of this untrue or inconclusive news and the instigation of the people in exchange for it is, in some respects, attributed to the consumption of the patriotic fervor of the people, and although China is in economic difficulties, it will not use this means to boost its economy and status.

Therefore, there was a rumor about this matter half a year ago, and Huaxia sent two scholars to visit, and as Mr. Qigong said, he immediately felt that this matter had no reference value, because with the cultural and economic strength of ancient Goryeo at that time, there was no way to bear the cost and price of this kind of metal movable type printing, and there was no so-called "title" that Goryeo invented printing.

The time when this cultural relic was unearthed in 1377 A.D., this time Goryeo was at the end of the Wang's Goryeo period, Wang's Goryeo was the most turbulent regime during this period, first with Silla war to consume national strength, and finally the truce but with Baekje into a civil war, finally pacified Baekje, ushered in the first stable year to recuperate, the successor crown prince Wang Xu became a monk again, the new little emperor was fourteen years old, was hollowed out by his relatives, and fell into an era of embarrassment of imperial power and people's misery.

Then, during the 'Mujin regime' period in Goryeo's history, the minister staged a coup d'état, and the civil strife continued in which the people were struggling to survive.

In the later period, around 1270, the Wang regime returned again, but three hundred years of civil strife and civil war had long hollowed out Goryeo, let alone the study of culture, and almost all the literati during the Wuren regime were killed, how could anyone study the technology of inventing the special needs of printing?

Forensics has always been the source of invention of technology, first of all, there are several elements, the first is demand.

Because demand determines progress, this is the immutable theorem, printing appeared for the purpose of printing words, and the premise that words need to be disseminated on a large scale is that the people have a demand or the imperial power has a demand, and the element that the people have needs is to live and work in peace and contentment, and they don't have to worry about starving to death to demand books, because in ancient times, the cost of making paper was more than some people's lives, let alone printing books.

The reign of Wang's Goryeo regime for nearly 600 years was not stable, and the people's lives were a problem, and there was no need for printed books.

The second point is the degree of technology, the cultural relics found this time are metal movable type, using metal smelting and pouring technology, do not verify whether there is this technology in Goryeo at that time, just say that the principle of movable type printing, is originated from seals, and the origin of seal culture in Asia is undoubtedly Huaxia, if it is not for Huaxia to introduce seal technology to Goryeo, maybe they still think that the seal under the calligraphy and painting they see is painted.

Secondly, the metal has a very high status in ancient times, especially after the Tang Dynasty, after the metallurgical technology was used in the military, iron ore, silver ore and other ores were controlled by the state, and a country in the midst of war had no intention of using metal to make this useless technology.

Then there is the purpose, the purpose of the inventor, the cultural relics unearthed this time are Buddhist scriptures, so let's think that they were invented for printing Buddhist scriptures, but the place where Buddhism spread throughout Asia is China, whether it is Tubo, Uighur, Mongolia, Dongying, Goryeo, Vietnam and other places.

Therefore, the biggest possibility of this cultural relic is that it was introduced to Goryeo through the channel of monks at the end of the Tang Dynasty or the Five Dynasties at that time.

All the evidence is unfavorable to Goryeo's invention of printing, but the media in Goryeo can say that the dead are alive, which Wang Yao also thinks is quite amazing.

He got a set of bright-form crown clothes from Shen Huixin and flew to Goryeo with Xu Shoucheng, and studied the Khitan script for half a day, because the Khitan language is almost extinct, and there are no relevant books in the world, Wang Yao wasted a lot of effort to borrow two translated books from the Republic of China Library and the Pearl Museum.
