Chapter 192: Pragmatism
This Sunday, Park Jung-hyuk rested, and as agreed, he drove to Samseong-dong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He also didn't expect that Kim Tae-hee's enthusiasm for learning Chinese was so high.
Since she is willing to learn, Park Jung-hyuk is certainly willing to teach. At the very least, I can get along with Kim Tae-hee a lot.
When I came to Sanseong-dong, I was familiar with the way.
Park Jung-hyuk parked the car and prepared to go upstairs.
Unexpectedly, a person suddenly walked out next to him, perhaps because he didn't expect him to enter this building, and the two almost bumped into each other.
After seeing each other clearly, the faces of the two turned twisted.
"Ah, what are you doing here? Hurry up, you're not welcome here. ”
Looking at Li Guan's dead face, Park Jung-hyuk smiled contemptuously and knocked him away directly.
"Don't get in the way, Seoul is dangerous."
Although Li Wan also often works out, he is still inferior to Park Jung-hyuk in terms of body. As a result, he stumbled back several steps.
This made Li Wan feel very embarrassed, and hurriedly rushed back and grabbed Park Jung-hyuk's arm.
"Ah, little bastard, see where this is. Such a high-level place, can you also come with this status? ”
With a wave of his arm, Park Jung-hyuk opened his hand.
Pressed against his head, his mouth threatened: "Do you want me to tear down your arms and legs and make you crippled." What will you be when the time comes? ”
Li Guan was startled and swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
It was only then that I remembered that I had been beaten by Park Jung-hyuk when I was a child.
Seeing that Li Wan had retreated, Park Jung-hyuk didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he pushed open the door and walked in.
Li Wan didn't want his sister to have anything to do with this scumbag, and while he was terrified, he hurriedly followed suit.
Knowing that Park Jung-hyuk was coming today, Kim Tae-hee was preparing ingredients at home. Eat, drink, dessert, drinks, etc.
When she saw Park Jung-hyuk and Lee Wan coming in together, she was a little surprised.
"Oh, you guys got together?"
In front of Kim Tae-hee, Park Jung-hyuk is not good at saying bad things. Just nodded.
"Well, I met downstairs."
Li Guan's face was ugly, and he directly threw the bag in his hand to Kim Tae-hee.
"Nuna, make it clear what guests will come next time, it's very tiring to run errands."
After saying that, he turned around and left, hiding directly in his room.
Kim Tae-hee looked embarrassed and speechless.
"Hehe, that, my brother may be unwell, so ......"
Afraid that she would be embarrassed, Park Jung-hyuk quickly diverted the topic.
"Nuna, do you think you should start studying now, or wait a minute?"
Seeing him so understanding, Kim Tae-hee's heart warmed.
"Now then, you wait a minute, I'll get you some drinks."
Park Jung-hyuk didn't refuse, turned around and walked into the study, and began to prepare the textbooks to be used.
He had never been a teacher and had no teaching experience, so everything was done according to his own ideas.
I don't know if his approach is good or not, and whether he can teach Kim Tae-hee well.
Soon, Kim Tae-hee walked in with fruit and drinks.
Seeing that Park Jung-hyuk had prepared so much, she was taken aback.
"So much, looking at the eyes are spent, can I learn well?"
Park Jung-hyuk laughed, "Nuna, you are a top student in Seoul." Isn't learning your forte, are you still afraid of this? ”
Kim Tae-hee glanced at him with disgust and snorted, "How can it be the same?" This is the hardest Chinese to learn Chinese. ”
Park Jung-hyuk helped her put all the teaching materials in place, thought about it, and decided to give her confidence.
"Nuna, if it is a Westerner learning Chinese, I find it difficult. But we Koreans are as easy as Chinese learning Korean. ”
"How is that possible?"
Kim Tae-hee didn't believe it for 10,000 years, and kept staring at Park Jung-hyuk, wondering if this little guy was fooling her.
Park Jung-hyuk was covered in a cold sweat and had to come up with realistic examples.
"Nuna, you know what? During the Joseon Dynasty, the king and the two classes were all fluent in Chinese. Moreover, at that time, there were Korean scholars who were admitted to the Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty and became county magistrates. ”
Kim Tae-hee really doesn't know these historical allusions.
"Really?"
Although such a history stimulates the self-esteem of Koreans, who made Park Jung-hyuk Chinese in his bones. So not only is he not ashamed of such a thing, but he also relish it.
"Otherwise, why do you think the plaques in places like Guanghua Gate and Yongfu Palace are all Chinese characters? There are also edicts and books in the past, which are also written in Chinese characters. ”
Kim Tae-hee is a student at Seoul National University, so he has no problem with basic knowledge of history. So what Park Jung-hyuk said, she also saw it with her own eyes.
In order to deepen the impression of Kim Tae-hee, Park Jung-hyuk added another example.
"There are also martyrs of the Republic of Korea's government-in-exile like Mr. Kim Koo, who are also fluent in Chinese. They can learn, why can't slaves? ”
Kim Tae-hee's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
"How do you know something I don't know?"
An important reason for her excitement is because Park Jung-hyuk mentioned Kim Gu, the founding father of South Korea.
And Kim Tae-hee, like Kim Koo, was born in the Andong Kim family.
South Korea is a country that pays great attention to genealogy, and a person's origin often has a very important influence.
For example, the current president of South Korea is from the Lee family in Gyeongju.
In South Korea, the Gyeongju Lee clan is the ancestor of the Lee clan in the world.
Mr. Kim Koo has an unrivaled position in the modern history of Korea, so Andong Kim has always been proud of him.
Park Jung-hyuk deliberately used Mr. Kim Koo as an example to help Kim Tae-hee reduce his worries.
"Nuna, do you think, if Mr. Jin Jiu and they don't know Chinese, how did they discuss with Mr. Wang Yaqiao to assassinate Shirakawa Yoshinori back then?"
Park Jung-hyuk's words are not true. Not all right, not necessarily wrong.
In fact, in modern history, China and South Korea have had very close ties because of their common resistance to the Japanese invaders.
Countless ethnic Koreans joined the Chinese rebellion against the Japanese invaders.
In such a long-term cooperation, it is impossible for these people not to speak Chinese.
Just like in "Assassination", Kim Jiu and other people in the rogue government of the Republic of Korea basically have the ability to communicate with Chinese in ordinary times.
This kind of Chinese ability may be already there, or it may be learned later.
But Kim Tae-hee only thinks that what Park Jung-hyuk said makes sense, so he won't delve into it.
With Park Jung-hyuk's encouragement, Kim Tae-hee quickly got into the groove and happily asked, "Then where do we start?" Is it a greeting? ”
Park Jung-hyuk thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "Greetings must be learned, but they are not that important. First of all, we still have to learn Chinese from our own situation. ”
"Why? Aren't greetings important? Kim Tae-hee didn't know why, but it was easy to ask.
This is a serious attitude of serious study, and Park Jung-hyuk is happy to do this.
Park Jung-hyuk said with a smile: "Nuna, although East Asian countries are generally influenced by Confucianism, because of modern history, China's social culture has changed greatly in terms of etiquette. It's already different from what we know before, so if you want to learn, it's better to do it alone. ”
In the minds of many people today, there is an impression that Japanese and Koreans are very polite.
The Chinese, on the other hand, seem to be more casual.
Others commented on this, saying that China's morality has degenerated and that it has lost its traditions.
But in Park Jung-hyuk's view, many people who say this know it and don't know why.
Because these people have never grasped a kind of thinking that is deeply rooted in the bones of the Chinese and runs throughout.
That is, extreme pragmatism.
Yes, all Chinese are basically believers in extreme pragmatism.
It is precisely because of pragmatism that the Chinese will not be as pedantic as the Japanese and Koreans, and will always move in one direction.
Chinese people have always paid attention to adapting measures to local conditions, time and people.
And this is an explanation of pragmatism.
Turning over history, the most significant thing that the Chinese have shown in terms of pragmatism is the idea of "great unification" put forward by the Confucian scholar Dong Zhongshu during the period of Emperor Wudi of Han.
When Confucius founded Confucianism, it was nothing more than a study of human ethics and the construction of social relations.
However, in order to carry forward Confucianism, the latecomers created a political framework that was not originally within this academic system.
If this is not an example of the application of pragmatism, then what else?
Even in modern times, the Chinese have applied this talent with the same flexibility.
For example, instead of believing in the communist revolutionary road of the Soviet Union, according to the actual situation in China, the Chinese-style communist revolutionary road of "the countryside surrounds the city and the workers and peasants unite" is also a manifestation of pragmatism.
Later, he discovered that there were huge flaws in the Soviet-style economic theory, and combined it with the actual situation in China to come up with the theory of "building socialism with Chinese characteristics."
Without this spirit of pragmatism that has been engraved in the bones for thousands of years, the Chinese will only cling to the rules and cannot continue and develop to this day.
It will be the same as the ancient Egyptian, ancient Indian, and ancient Babylonian civilizations in history, and will eventually die out in the midst of disasters and declines.
The sea is inclusive, and there is tolerance.
This in itself is a high-level generalization of pragmatism.
And back to the question of etiquette in modern China, the same is true.
With the progress of social and economic development, the pace of social life is also accelerating. So when the Chinese felt that the ancient social etiquette could not adapt to modern society, they immediately made great changes.
On the contrary, although Japan and South Korea have developed economically, in many respects, they still retain parts that are not compatible with the values and level of development of today's world.
In other words, if Kim Tae-hee wants to be active in China, he can't learn about etiquette according to Korean habits.
Just like many Korean artists who run to China, they stand on the stage stupidly and greet fans in very silly Chinese.
"How are you? I am fine. I miss you guys so much. I love you. Have you eaten? ”
They never wanted to think about how broken their fans' hearts were when they heard such a lame way of greeting. (To be continued.) )
