89 Civilization Genes?
"Huh? As if who's talking about us? ”
Someone in the high school suddenly woke up, but the conversation of the group on the other side had shifted.
"So, if you want me to say, let's not look for a way out of system construction from the history of the Eastern Empire, the ancients said, the stones of other mountains can attack jade!"
At this time, Sun Lao proposed.
"Well, I think the turning point in the history of human political civilization is the signing of the English Magna Carta, the document of the early thirteenth century, and it is not too far from the era we are going to cross, if we try to take this document, it should be more suitable for the era we have traveled to, right?"
Zhu Beiguo, a doctor of history, suddenly spoke.
"Yes, it's not right to be behind the times, but it's not good to be too far ahead, and this Magna Carta should be a reference for us."
Because of the high Chinese language on this issue, Boss Luo had been in a state of confusion just now, but at this time his mind finally followed, and immediately agreed with Zhu Beiguo's suggestion, and then added:
"I think that the key to the construction of the system is to conform to the historical trend, meticulous and precise secondary, because it can be continuously improved in later practice, but if the general direction is wrong, it will become darker and darker, and finally it will be ......a dead end."
"Boss Luo is really mixed with society, this is a golden sentence!"
It was Hou Xianglin, the former contractor, who spoke so highly of Boss Luo's speech.
At this time, the beer strength of a group of science and engineering men has probably passed, after all, they are all college students, and the speed of the topic is very fast, and many people have interjected:
"Yes, in those days, the thirteenth century! It was actually possible to establish the concept of "the king is under the law"! Depend on! It's a stroke of genius......"
At this time, Li Junming stood up very solemnly, looked around the venue and asked everyone to focus on his side, and then spoke with a serious face:
"Dear colleagues! I very much agree with Boss Zhu Luo and their assessment of Magna Carta. In addition, I would like to say something that I would like not to hear, please don't be angry: I, Li Junming, I will never agree with any emperor, king, lifelong ruler or other figure in our group. Whoever wants to do this, I immediately turn my face! I hereby solemnly declare that I will never bow down to any of you because of your power! Attention, it's anyone! No matter how coaxing you are! If I can't stop it, I'll quit this crossing. ”
After Li Junming said this, he sat back in his seat, and after looking around the venue again, his eyes became a little sharp, and he looked at everyone without saying a word.
"Well, agreed! Not only will I not bow down, but I hope that my children and grandchildren will not become slaves who bow down at the feet of others! ”
"Don't you want to be bowed down to by others?"
"I don't want to!"
"Yes, even if we and our children and grandchildren may become the objects of worship by others, sooner or later they will ......"
"Our children and grandchildren will also be forced to bow down to others......"
"It's like a cycle of history."
"No, it's like a wheel, there's always a time to turn down."
"We're going to knock this wheel off!"
"Agreed!"
"Yes!"
"Resolutely support Brother Li's statement!"
There were voices of solidarity in the room, followed by a round of applause, albeit sparsely, apparently because the other half of the room was not listening and were drowsy.
Zhu Beiguo was the most energetic in the applause, and when the applause fell, he said to Li Junming:
"Actually, the English Magna Carta is relatively far away from us, Brother Li, in 1689, the British Parliament passed the famous "Bill of Rights", which was born after the Glorious Revolution and established the principle of 'parliamentary supremacy', that is, the king cannot repeal laws without the consent of Parliament, cannot levy taxes without the consent of Parliament, cannot set up a standing army without the consent of Parliament, and so on. However, these ideas are still ahead of their time for the people of many countries to this day, and this is probably the gap......
"Is it 1689? That's pretty much the era we've traveled through! ”
Many people's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they began to talk enthusiastically again.
"Let's just use this bill of rights as a blueprint for our system."
"Well, that's handy......"
"But don't forget, the famous Bill of Rights was born out of the Magna Carta!"
"Although this is the case, the basis of the Magna Carta is that there is a king, which does not correspond to our current situation, and it seems that we should refer to this historical document of 1689, otherwise we will fall behind history......"
"Yes, it was also in line with the times at that time."
"Well, that makes sense!"
"Think about it, why is it that in the West the law can finally be placed above the king? And in the East, the law has finally become the plaything of the nobles? ”
"I think it's still a matter of cultural genes!"
"The so-called cultural gene problem you mentioned, in my opinion, is neither nor ......"
"Lawyer Li, can this 'yes and no' explain a thing or two?"
"yes, you're always a professional, what do you think about this?"
"Do you really want to hear it? Won't you think I'm verbose? ”
"Say, being idle is idle anyway."
"Yes, this is a problem we will have to face sooner or later, let's listen to the opinions of professionals."
"Well, sit, gentlemen, and listen to my family......"
At this time, Li Junming immediately sat up straight, looked at the people in the venue, his expression gradually became serious, and when the venue finally became completely quiet, he spoke to everyone:
“…… There is only one fundamental reason why law has different fates in the East and the West, and that is that law is a completely different concept in the context of the East and the West.
Let's talk about the West first, probably because of the influence of Christianity, people have the ideological gene of equality in their bones very early, which is the ideological basis for Wang to be finally accepted by the public under the law! Please don't look at me in that light...... It's surprising and subverts your three views, right?
Why? Because the doctrine of Christianity says very clearly, whether you are a king or a farmer, a rich merchant or a beggar, a handsome prince or an ugly leper, you are all the lambs of God before God Almighty!
Have you figured it out? The cultural gene of equality for all was planted from that moment!
In our East, the common people have been cast from the bones to worship the authority of the grass people, people are very accustomed to the division of hierarchical identity, naturally think that people are not equal between people, of course, Buddhism has the cultural gene of equality for everyone, but it was introduced to the Eastern Empire too late, when the civilization of the empire has been basically stereotyped, and in the end Buddhism did not become a tool to transform civilization, but became a vassal of this civilization. In a word, it is this time difference that causes the difference in the cultural genes of the East and the West. Therefore, it is impossible for the king to appear in the Eastern context under the law. ”
"I suddenly found out that Brother Li, you are a believer in the theory of cultural genes, if you want to change society, you must change people, and if you want to change people, you must change the culture in people's minds, typical of the concepts in the minds of the young people in the early twentieth century."
At this time, one of the masters in the audience commented,
Obviously, this comment made Lawyer Li feel a little spicy, so he replied with a frown:
"I don't agree with you, I know you're talking about those young people, but those people are more than ruined, and the chaos of their generation is unprecedented......
"However, what Brother Li said about the cultural genes of Christianity does have some truth."
Zhu Beiguo couldn't help but interject next to him, and at this time, Li Junming raised his hand to stop everyone's comments, raised his voice and continued:
Christianity holds that every human being---- rich or poor, sages, wise and ignorant, in short, is a lamb of God before God, that is, as long as they are individuals, they are equal in the final analysis, which is extremely important!
It is precisely because there is such an omnipotent and just God, and there is a group of people who believe in this god devoutly, so in the presence of God, people have formulated a common code of conduct to abide by. So it's natural to think of the law as a 'covenant between man and God,' and notice that the law becomes a product of God! This is the foundation of the sanctity of the law! ”
"Huh? Lawyer Li's statement seems to be a bit enlightening, can you continue to explain? ”
"Yes, as long as you don't fall asleep."
