Chinese civilization is poetry, calligraphy, Liyi, Tang poetry and Song Ci, Gaozong Xiaowu, Cangjie Xuanzang, Xie County Guan Yunchang, Wu Mu Yue Fei. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

However, China is also Xia Wei Yin Xuan, Zhao Gao Qin Hui, cool officials Lai Junchen, eunuch Wei Zhongxian, honey-bellied sword Li Linfu, book burning pit Confucian Qin Shi Huang, as well as cannibalistic liver Zhao Sijuan, slaughtering SC Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Adou who can't be supported, greedy Qing Heshen, jumping beam clown Yuan Shikai, tiger head and snake tail Wang Jingwei.

Born in 3000 B.C., ancient Babylon was founded in 3000 B.C., bringing the Code of Hammurabi, cuneiform writing, and the Hanging Gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, to mankind, and the history of civilization has lasted for more than 2,000 years. Born on the banks of the Nile River in the 32nd century B.C., ancient Egypt has gone through 31 dynasties and a civilization history of more than 2,500 years, covering Egypt, Sudan, Algeria, Israel, Jerusalem, Turkey, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, bringing hieroglyphics, pyramids, geometry and calendars to mankind. Without the ancient Egyptian civilization, there would be no later ancient Greco-Roman civilization. Born in the Ganges Valley, ancient India was founded in 3500 BC and included India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal and Afghanistan. Arabic numerals originated in ancient India and only spread to the West through Arabia. The history of civilization is 1,500 years long. Therefore, ancient India was not India, and ancient Egypt was not Egypt. As for ancient Babylon, it no longer exists.

All ancient civilizations are extinct. Ancient Babylon was destroyed by the Assyrian Empire in 729 BC. Ancient Egypt was destroyed by the Hans Empire in 343 BC. Ancient India was destroyed by the Aryan barbarians in 2000 B.C., and the ancient Indians were reduced to the fourth caste, which is now the untouchables. It has been more than 2,000 years since they became extinct, so they must be preceded by the word "ancient" in the history books.

Chinese civilization originated on the banks of the Yellow River in 2800 BC. Only the fruit remains. Therefore, there is no "ancient Chinese civilization" in the history books. It has always been called "Chinese civilization".

Chinese civilization has never been interrupted, because its suffering has never been interrupted. And the greatest suffering of a country is the loss of the country. The first three ancient civilizations were all extinct with the extinction of the country. In fact, "China" is not without a dead country.

The five chaotic states of the North and the South can be regarded as the death of the country. Since then, the weak Song Dynasty has been burned, raped and plundered by the Khitans, Jurchens and Mongols, and millions of civilians have died tragically under butcher's knives or become military rations. The Yuan army went south, slaughtering the city all the way, and the soldiers' amateur sports activities were more than who cut off heads. At that time, the registered population of northern China was 45 million, and after the Yuan army, only more than 6 million remained, and the Central Plains region was thousands of miles of red land, with white bones all over the field, and wells were filled with dead corpses, making the water undrinkable.

The Chinese character is not Wu Sangui, not Hong Chengchou, not Li Chengdong, not Zhang Hongfan. Just like Emperor Gong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xian does not represent China. The Chinese character is Yue Fei, Shi Kefa, Yuan Chonghuan, Lu Xiufu, Tong Linge, Tan Qianqiu, the people of Jiading who have gone through three massacres and still "none of them have descended", and the 172,000 people of Jiangyin who are "fortunate to die first". They are China!

China is their China.

Chinese culture is full of dignity and tenacity, and even though it has been plagued by corrupt officials and corrupt officials to the point that it is unable to resist foreign aggression, it still holds its head high in the face of the blood-stained butcher's knife of the invaders, and its heart is full of the belief that it will win. Yes, China is indeed often defeated. However, Chinese culture has never been destroyed!

During the period of the Republic of China, China successively had 7 provinces and 12 provinces. Joint rule is tantamount to declaring independence. All these divisions, not a single one of them succeeded.

In Chinese culture, betrayal is an unbearable burden for children and grandchildren.

I identify with any painful reflection, sharp criticism, or even gnashing of teeth at the dark side of Chinese culture. As long as you are scolding the dark side. Do you really think I know less about the dark side of Chinese culture than you do?

However, I despise those who declare Yue Fei and Lu Xiufu to be "foolish and loyal", falsely accuse Wen Tianxiang and Yuan Chonghuan of being traitors, praise Hong Chengchou as a handsome man who understands current affairs, call for Qin Hui's rehabilitation, deplore Wang Jingwei's misunderstanding, shout "narrow nationalism" when they hear "patriotism", and even call "obscenity" when they hear "long live China". Serious contempt. Being strong doesn't automatically equal being great. Now there is no more powerful country in the world than the United States. However, earlier this year, when I went to Stanford University in the United States to give a lecture, I heard a famous American professor say that the United States does not deserve to be called a great country at all. Great countries are those countries that have experienced the lowest ebb in history, or even the collapse of the country, but can always rely on themselves to get back on their feet. Yes, at least on this issue, the American professor is right.

A country that has seen all the ups and downs, gone through all the adversities, survived all the failures, and has been reborn from the ashes of the sea of blood more than once, is a truly great country.

Great nations have tenacity full of dignity.

The great Wenchuan earthquake of the century demonstrated the tenacity of China's dignity.

The whole world is watching!

How great is greatness?

Greatness is not to occupy the whole world, greatness is not to kill the whole world.

Greatness is not about letting the world copy its way of life, nor is it about making the whole world obey its own opinions.

Greatness is a culture that is so vast and profound that it cannot be erased from the face of the earth. It is a culture that cannot be interrupted even by destroying a country and destroying a nation. It is a culture that takes away its world history and has to be completely rewritten. It was a culture in which even the conquerors had to be convinced of their devotion to conversion.

China is great. Her greatness doesn't even need to be recognized by us unscrupulous descendants.
