Chinese!

For thousands of years, the word has permeated and influenced the whole of East Asia. This word symbolizes civilization and civilization, and both Japan and Korea are deeply influenced by Chinese civilization.

But in fact, among the East Asian barriers, the most deeply influenced by Chinese civilization was not Japan or Korea, but Guangnan in Tiannan, which is also known as "Annam" and "Dayue". From Qin Shi Huang sending Zhao Tuo to lead 500,000 troops to conquer Lingnan, setting up Guilin, Nanhai, and Xiang Counties, and then to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquering South Vietnam and establishing Jiaozhi County. Until the Tang Dynasty, Cochin was no different from the mainland.

For thousands of years, even after the end of the Tang Dynasty "betraying China and becoming self-reliant", its Confucian Temple was dedicated to Confucius and Zhou Gong, and learned from the imperial examination system of the Tang and Song dynasties; The articles are all written in Chinese characters, and the Chinese pronunciation also penetrates into the local language. And for thousands of years, it has always called itself "Han, people", especially the northern Yue people are proud of this, calling the southern Khmer people "high barbarians".

And after Xingqian, when the Ming Dynasty annexed this Chinese homeland again, the Yue people, who had always called themselves "Han, people" and were proud of it, got some kind of recognition.

"Since the beginning of the Qin and Han dynasties, Jiaozhi has been incorporated into China, and the local people have been exposed to it, gradually entering the Han style, and the politics and religion of the millennium have been changed with Xia, and the local people here today are no different from the Han people......"

The seemingly simple words finally recognized the identity of the Yue people, and also made them become Ming people naturally.

Mingren, Daming, Huaxia!

These three are in fact an ever-expanding national identity.

At least that's the case for the current Ming Dynasty. The so-called "Fuyi Xia" is actually to first make them accept the education of Chinese civilization through education, and then make them identify with the Ming Dynasty.

And eventually, they will become Akito!

This seemingly reactionary policy of national integration, in Zhu Mingzhong's view, is the only choice for the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty wants to build a thousand-year empire, it must integrate the different ethnic groups of its own country into one nation, and if it can't do this, then after two hundred years, the Ming Dynasty will definitely pay the price.

It is also based on the simple concept of "national integration", after Xingqian, he first integrated the people of the Ming Dynasty, including the Ming people, into a family, and proposed in the south that "Han and Miao have the same origin, enter the mountains as seedlings, and go out of the mountains as Han", and in terms of history, there is no problem, after all, Chiyou is also the ancestor of China. It is through this recognition that the mountain people in the south are included in the ranks of the Han people, and as for some customs, they are only caused by "living in the mountains and forests without being educated".

The premise of national integration is the identity of civilization, and the identity of civilization can be promoted through education. This is true in the southwestern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and the same is true in Jiaozhi.

Zhu Mingzhong, who was dressed like an ordinary businessman, did not have any exotic feelings when he entered Jing'an Prefecture with his son accompanied by several guards, whether it was the buildings on the side of the road or the clothing and appearance of passers-by.

"Father, where are we going now?"

Following his father's side, Zhu Heyuan asked.

"Let's take a casual stroll first."

Zhu Mingzhong said with a smile.

As the royal city of Ningjing County, the city is not big, with a population of only tens of thousands, which is no different from the county seat in the interior of the Ming Dynasty. But even so, walking on the streets of the city, Zhu Mingzhong still looked full of interest.

Cantonese, Guangxi, and Mandarin are mixed in the streets, and occasionally some local dialects can be heard, but most of the time, only official dialects can be heard, although many are not fluent in official dialects. But even so, he was doubly gratified.

"Let's go and have a cup of tea in the teahouse over there."

Pointing to a teahouse on the side of the road, Zhu Mingzhong walked directly into the teahouse, and Zhu Heyuan and several guards also hurriedly followed him.

"Oh, a few guest officers on the second floor, please ......"

As soon as the guy in the teahouse saw a guest coming to the door, the guy who was good at observing his face hurriedly greeted him.

"What kind of tea do you want to drink, as soon as you look at the dress of the guest officer, you know that you must be from the Celestial Empire, you must be drinking Celestial Empire tea, we have the best Biluochun here, and ......"

When Xiao Er introduced the tea, Zhu Heyuan said on the side.

"A pot of high-quality Biluochun is all it takes, by the way, how do you tell that we are from the Celestial Empire?"

There seems to be no difference in everyone's appearance and dress. For the guys to see their origin at a glance, Zhu Heyuan was a little curious.

"Childe, when you look at the extraordinary appearance of Mr. and Childe, it must be a figure in the Celestial Empire, and there will never be a character like Mr. and Childe in a small state......"

Xiao Er replied with a smile, and for this answer, Zhu Mingzhong smiled.

"You can speak, are you a local, or are you from the mainland?"

"Mr. Hui, the little one is a local."

Xiao Er's answer made Zhu Mingzhong look at him a few times, and then nodded and said.

"Your official language is also fluent, I think it is the official language of many mainlanders, and it may not be able to compare with you."

When passing through Guangdong and Guangxi this time, Zhu Mingzhong can be said to have a deep understanding of the local people speaking dialects, and even many employees of the railway station can only speak dialects, otherwise they will not be able to communicate with the local people.

"Hey, sir, it's not me bragging, many mainlanders don't know how to speak official language at all, but we, people who have gone to social studies, can speak official language, just like I said about the government, many people say that there is no ......difference between what the palace says and what the palace says."

Seeing Xiao Er's smug appearance, Zhu Mingzhong smiled.

"Presumably when you learned official dialect, you must have worked hard."

"Work hard, hey, Mr. doesn't know, when I was studying in social studies, if I didn't speak officially, I would be punished for drawing a ring ruler, and I would also be punished by hanging a sign to punish the station, when I first arrived at social studies, my hands were swollen every day, and I was punished every day, and then I got used to it......

Xiao Er's answer made Zhu Heyan's expression a little strange, he didn't expect that there would be such a thing behind the proficient official language. Noticing his son's strange appearance, Zhu Mingzhong nodded and said.

"Hey, in this way, you learned official dialect at the beginning, and you didn't suffer less."

"Suffering?"

Shaking his head, Xiao Er said.

"It's not about suffering, we are Ming people, so we naturally have to speak official language, otherwise we can't understand what the king says, and we can't understand what the king says, so that even if the government says that we are Mingren, no one really treats us as Mingren, guest officials, we only care about talking, and forget to ask you for tea, you wait a while, I will go and bring you food......"

After Xiao Er left the box, looking at his son with an unnatural expression, Zhu Mingzhong asked with a smile.

"What, feeling a little uncomfortable?"

Shaking his head, Zhu Heqian asked rhetorically.

"Father, isn't it, here, everywhere, that if you don't speak officially, you will be punished?"

"Well, that's probably what it should be......"

Looking out the window, Zhu Mingzhong said.

"However, it should be more tolerant here, after all, the people here have been influenced by the Han style for thousands of years, and there is not much difference between us in customs, in Qin, Zhou, Gui and other countries, the implementation of education is more severe, after all, there must be a cultural identity, so that they can identify with Huaxia, identify with the Ming Dynasty, and the identity of language and writing is the premise of everything, only through the identity of civilization, in the future, the people here will truly integrate into the Ming Dynasty. And this kind of civilization integration, it will take about fifty years or so, speaking official dialect, learning Chinese characters, from the Han customs, so after a few decades, they will completely disappear the traces of the native people, will become no different from the Ming people, at that time, regardless of Huayi, all people are integrated into one, and the basis of this identity is language, civilization, for the lords of the feudal countries of Zhuxia, they are less unified more, if they want to stabilize the world, they must strengthen cultural identity, and at the same time of cultural mandatory identity, Through marriage, they will become a fusion of blood, and then on this basis, they will build a national system and even a civilization that belongs to them......"

Looking at the bustling pedestrians outside the window, Zhu Mingzhong knew that this kind of integration was the future, the future of human civilization.

In fact, this kind of integration did not only take place in Zhuxia, but was also practiced in the north, the integration of the Mongols was carried out through merchants and garrisons marrying Mongol women, in Korea through the establishment of social studies, as for the Northeast and other places to give birth to Jurchen in a relatively strong way, as for the southwestern mountain people, it was a relatively mild means. Convergence is now an artificially accelerated process. It may seem suave, but in reality, it is coercive and irresistible, but even so, the means are more gentle than those of the Mongols in history.

"A country and civilization that belongs to them?"

Zhu Heyuan's eyebrows raised slightly? There was a look of confusion in his expression.

"Yes, although Zhuxia is a feudal country divided by the Ming Dynasty, influenced by the Ming civilization, but because of their own environment and the different temperament of the local people, they will eventually develop their own culture, as the so-called "orange born in Huainan is orange, born in Huaibei is orange", although the civilization of Zhuxia is influenced by the Ming Dynasty, but their people are probably natives, just like ......"

Pointing to passers-by outside the window, Zhu Mingzhong looked at his son and asked with a smile,

"You see, what is the difference between them and the people in the mainland?"

"What's the difference with the people in the mainland?"

Looking at the passers-by outside the window, on the surface, they are indeed no different from the people in the mainland, but after careful observation, Zhu Heyuan still found some differences.

"It seems that the clothes are different from those in the mainland, especially the women's clothes, which seem to be mostly wide-necked ......"

"There are many women in Zhuxia with wide collars, which are close to the Tang and Song dynasties......"

Zhu Mingzhong said with a smile.

In fact, since the Han Dynasty, the clothes of the Han women are mostly wide-collared, and the Tang Dynasty is even more so, the Song Dynasty clothing follows the Tang Dynasty, and the popular wide-necked clothing is also half-exposed in front of the body, and the high-collar clothing is brought into the Central Plains by the Jin people. After the fall of the Song Dynasty, Hanyi was influenced by Jinmeng women's clothing to say goodbye to the low neck. Feudal Zhuxia in Nanyang, Nanyang is summer in all seasons, therefore, suitable for the bitter cold weather in the north of the high-collar women's clothing is not liked by the people, so similar to the Tang and Song dynasties of the wide-necked clothing began to be popular in Zhuxia, and later spread to Zhuxia, and now it is also quite popular in the mainland, however, this can be regarded as a return to the source......

In fact, even "Cheng Zhu Lixue" is not conservative in his requirements for clothing, during the Chunxi period, Zhu Xi set the women's dress as a coat, and the gown as a narrow-sleeved placket, with a bandeau (underwear) inside, that is, a wide collar and half exposed. Now the wide collar is showing a trend of replacing high-collar women's clothing, which is a good thing in Zhu Mingzhong's view. In a way, it's a return to tradition.

Of course, the wide-collar clothing revived in Zhuxia, the so-called "Qin costume", "Zhou costume", "Guifu" and the "southern costume" here, in fact, is just a manifestation of the development of Chinese civilization in Zhuxia, the same is true in clothing, language, culture, just like after Zhou Tianzi divided the countries, each country has developed its own culture according to local conditions, and it is these cultures that together constitute the civilization of China, now, the Ming Dynasty is to Zhuxia is to transmit the Chinese civilization is essentially the civilization of the Ming Dynasty, but the future of the Chinese civilization, It must be a general term for the culture including the culture of the Zhuxia countries, well, the future Byzantium, Egypt, and the Balkans will also be influenced by the Chinese civilization, and under the influence of the Chinese civilization, the culture is completely different from that of Europe, and the Chinese civilization will also be influenced by them, even if it is a very subtle influence, this is a process of mutual influence, any civilization wants to develop, must hold this kind of open mind, in fact, the Chinese civilization can have today, it is precisely because of this mutual blending, mutual influenceIf this were not the case, how could there be the prosperity of today's Chinese civilization? ”

After listening to his father's smile and say this point of view on "civilization development", Zhu Heyuan frowned and said.

"Father, does the future Balkans have to be like this?"

"No, there's no need for that, it's very different from here."

Look out the window at those passers-by, from any angle. They are no different from the mainlanders, but they are not the same in Europe. Zhu Mingzhong said to his son.

"The people here are similar to us physically, culturally and physically, but in the Balkans, the people there are very different from us. There is also a fundamental difference in culture, and all we need is a Balkan influenced by us, not a Chinese-style Balkan. And, at least for the next 200 years, we won't be able to do that. But we can influence them, they accept our civilization, they accept our influence. ”

Conquest of Europe, at least for now, Zhu Mingzhong is not interested in conquering a place full of hunger, poverty, and disease, but considering that in another world it is the birthplace of modern civilization. That's why Zhu Mingzhong went to great lengths to arrange these.

"That's all you need to do, and that's enough......"

At this moment, an excited shout from outside the window interrupted Zhu Mingzhong's words.

"It's over, Jiannu is finished......"

I followed the voice and looked out the window, only to see a young man there excitedly shouting......
