Book Review on Ethnic Questions (Second June)

Thanks to the book friends for the book reviews compiled by Shuifang 03, so that more people can understand the growth process of the Three Kingdoms of Commerce. I would also like to thank you for your affirmation and criticism of this book.

□ Those who are brave in martial arts will be destroyed, and those who are in power will die. Cultivate Wende internally, and govern martial arts externally. If it is in line with the interests of the people, it will not be in the interests of the people, and the dead will not be able to be resurrected. Therefore, the Ming Jun is cautious, and the good generals are vigilant, and the way of the whole army of the country is also tasd

□ Keeping the country's economy and politics alive is the most important thing, or the TASD that the whole world will be overthrown even if it is unified

□ The colonial mentality is already a backward mentality, an ideology that only a savage, semi-civilized nation in its bones can have. Zihua

□ I'm not saying colonization is good, I'm just going to prove that it's not feasible tasd

□ "Those who rely on the military will perish, and those who will be able to defend themselves will perish." Cultivate Wende internally, and govern martial arts externally. If it is in line with the interests of the people, it will not be in the interests of the people, and the dead will not be able to be resurrected. Therefore, Ming Jun is cautious, good generals are police, and this way of the whole army of Anguo is also "Brother Tasd said well." When the country is strong, there are two means to communicate with the world, one is to open up like the Tang Dynasty (please come in), and the second is to go to the West like Ming Zheng He (go out), which can broaden his horizons and show the demeanor of a great country. Zihua

□ This book is the core of the cultural tradition that is most concerned about the strength and prosperity of the Han nationality in the air, and if we want to break the fate of the geographical environment to our ancestors, can we continue to go through the calendar and change the square characters and language into alphabet schemes, which is complicated and backward hieroglyphs and has high learning costs, and is not easy to print and disseminate, and the Chinese (ancient language) grammar and timing logic are not clear, which is not conducive to the development of science and technology. The language can be selected from the world's academic circles and Esperanto, which can be changed and spread little by little through religion. zhaix

□ I do not agree with Zhaix's suggestion that Chinese characters are relatively advanced compared to other alphabetic languages, Chinese characters are both tangible and ideological, and they are monosyllabic words, which are two-dimensional languages, and the two-dimensional carrier on paper fully expands the information space and is more conducive to abstract thinking. There is no such thing as "not conducive to the development of science and technology". However, the Western alphabet language family has no concept of form, which is equivalent to a cryptographic language, which is a one-dimensional language, which has a much smaller information load than Chinese, and has cumbersome roots, tenses, and gender problems, and the expression of the same problem is not as concise and precise as Chinese. The cost of learning Chinese is not high, ordinary people usually master 3,000 commonly used words to read books and read newspapers, and there is basically no problem, while the alphabet language is different, and it is necessary to read and write like modern people

□ At least 40,000 or 50,000 words should be used to read newspapers, and a large number of proper nouns and new words should be learned to understand and understand professional books. One of the characteristics of cryptographic language is that every new thing has to be coined, and the language is very poor and unstable, for example, how many people in modern Britain can read works written in Old English? How many people can read Shakespeare's plays? However, modern Chinese do not have to struggle to read the works of the ancients, and anyone can understand the four famous works. There is no problem of unclear sequential logic in Chinese grammar, and alphabetic languages (such as English) seem to emphasize sequential logic, but they cannot be expressed concisely. For example, the concept of "someone in the room" is expressed in Chinese, but there are several expressions in English, which one can be expressed succinctly? Zihua

□ In English, you can only say "there is one person in the room", "there are many people in the room", "how many people are in the room", and so on. To reform ancient Chinese, modern punctuation marks can be introduced to break sentences. In the modern information explosion society, the Chinese language has its superiority and competitiveness in the field of information engineering. Zihua

□ If China changes the language of Chinese to the alphabet, the world will lose calligraphy, an art unique to the Han cultural circle. Zihua

□ There is also some truth in what Brother Zihua said, and I have been thinking about the root cause of the stagnation of the Han nationality in 2000. Just as food is the biggest factor affecting people's physiology, I personally believe that words and language are the main factors that affect people's way of thinking. From the point of view of the text itself, it is only a tool for human thinking and recording, and it can achieve corresponding functions. For a large system to be effective and stable, I think its fundamental foundation must be simple and orderly. The biggest problem with the pictographic scheme compared to the alphabet scheme is that the foundation is too complicated, which is not conducive to the learning and use of the public in ancient times. It is also because of this that a unique class of "intellectuals" has emerged in China. zhaix

□Why is movable type printing not very useful in China? And in the West, it has brought about revolutionary changes in society? Compared with the 20,000 basic characters of Chinese and the 30-40 characters of Western characters, movable type printing has basically no cost change. Calligraphy is even more Chinese characteristics, and turning tools into art cannot but be said to be a waste of a nation's creativity and expression. zhaix

□ From the perspective of society as a whole, the competition between groups (countries or companies) is cost and efficiency. The competition for talent comes from the cost and efficiency of learning and information dissemination. The difference in cost and efficiency between learning pictographs and alphabets is an order of magnitude from the perspective of the whole society. Back then, Lao Mao experimented with using pinyin instead of Chinese characters, and it was also for this reason. But pinyin is really nondescript, and in the end it can only be replaced by simplified Chinese, can you still say that simplified Chinese still has the shape and meaning of ancient Chinese characters? zhaix

□ Back to zhaix: Han stagnation in 2000? Don't exaggerate that 150 years of backwardness is a thousand years of backwardness. I have already made it clear enough about the superiority of Chinese characters over the alphabet language family, Chinese characters are rooted in Chinese culture and deeply rooted in the bone marrow, Chinese culture has been inherited in one line, and the shape of Chinese characters cannot be erased. If Chinese culture is regarded as a person, then Chinese characters are the skeleton of this person, and without Chinese characters, there would be no Chinese culture. Without Chinese characters, it is difficult to imagine that China would still be a unified multi-ethnic country. As for the stability and timeliness of the writing system, history has proved that Chinese characters are the most stable and time-sensitive writing system. Of course, in contrast to the 30 to 40-letter writing system of the Western script, Zihua

□ Printing is indeed cumbersome, but it does not prove that the cost of printing in Chinese is high, and the cost of paper used to print the book should also be considered, and do not forget that the thinnest of the five official languages of the United Nations must be printed in Chinese. Chinese characters are two-dimensional information, making the greatest use of the geometric space on the paper, each Chinese character is a painting, which is abstract, efficient and vivid; The Western alphabet is one-dimensional information, it is cryptographic information, and interpreting Western is like interpreting a password, which is divergent, inefficient, and boring. Is it faster to get information from a painting, or is it faster to get information from a line of password? As mentioned earlier, every time something is born in a cryptographic language, a new word must be created. At present, the English vocabulary has exceeded 400,000, and it is expected that by the middle of the next century, Zihua

□ will break the 1 million mark. Moreover, people's perspectives are limited, and too long words will reduce the readability of the article and the reader's ability to understand. I don't see any superiority of the Western alphabet over Chinese characters. The lettering of Chinese characters is simply a joke, a step backwards. Don't think that the Westernization of Chinese proposed by Qian Xuantong and Lu Xun is necessarily correct, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, since the 50s, the mainland has reformed Chinese characters four times, and has not succeeded in alphabetizing Chinese. However, it cannot be said that Chinese characters cannot be developed, and the reform of some radicals of Chinese characters in simplified Chinese characters has been successful, although some parts have also changed the essence of Chinese characters, which is a pity, but the vitality of Chinese characters is strong. Zihua

□ [Essence] I agree with the reform of Chinese characters, but I firmly oppose the Westernization and lettering of Chinese characters, because it is a kind of retrogression. For Zhaix, "calligraphy is more Chinese characteristics, and turning tools into art cannot but be said to be a waste of national creativity and expression." "I don't agree more. Chinese characters are developed from pictures and are one with art, and you can't deny that Chinese characters are more beautiful and have more profound cultural connotations than Western letters. If you can't identify with your own words and culture, what is the difference between that and another kind of "banana people"? Zihua

□ [Top] Contemporary people lack immanence and transcendent thinking. The thinkers are a minority, and most of them are consumers, eating the pioneer's "human blood steamed buns" while consuming. But true thoughts do not exist because they do not think, but are lovely precisely because they are absent. Modernization, according to the Western definition, is the process of secularization that began after the collapse of medieval theology, 500 years ago. In the early days of modernization, the West absorbed a lot of Chinese nutrients. Voltaire's New Theses on the History of Human Thought, written in 1745, can prove this. Many historical works show that in the early days of modernization, the East exported commoner, secular, and humanized things to the West, which had just emerged from the center of divinity, including some non-deterministic human thoughts. ——Wang Yuechuan (Denmark leads Zihua

□ [Top] Our current way of thinking, price system, and methodology are all Western, and I wonder if they are considered "banana people"? As for the essence of "nation", I believe that it should be about the concern for people and the understanding of life, not about what tools and how to express it. zhaix

□ [Essence] The system of transcending the times is not impossible, as long as the economy of one region is far superior to that of others. For example, in Izumo Castle, it can be run as a large family, and the family can be completely patriarchally constitutional. The economy and the military are both pronged, and more talents in the clan are selected to go out to be officials, forming a big chaebol, and when the time comes, the emperor will have to look at you...... goat

□ [Essence] After seeing this chapter, I sighed and appreciated it! If a nation is not enterprising, it will be wiped out by other enterprising nations, so many lessons in Chinese history, so much suffering, why do some people still shout "peace", are those guys born servile, or do they have ulterior motives?! sdffd

□ [Essence] We are sick in our minds, and we are not lightly ill, a people who always do not want to conquer, to enslave, to plunder, but only want to defend the city, once the strength of others is greater than you, the fate that awaits you is only destruction and subjugation. That's a great point to say! How is this not the situation in our country now? I'm the wind, you're the sand

□ [Essence] Chinese Bad Habits for a Thousand Years. Those who are officials do not think of the people, but focus on their own official future. Although it is fictional, it still makes people very angry and depressed. I'm the wind, you're the sand

□ [Essence] The grassland is different from the Central Plains, advocating force, hating hypocrisy and false righteousness, and can destroy the prestige of the clan to deter the Quartet, and Liu Yu does not dare to act rashly. Big step

□ [Essence] The author chose this era to enter, in history, some powerful warlords have not yet been born, some famous generals are still growing, their ideas and goals have not yet been oriented, at this time Cao Cao alone is not known, why should the Xia Hou brothers recruit him!! Only considering that the growth of famous generals needs an environment, the times create heroes, and the growth of heroes is related to their own character and quality, but the creation of the environment is indispensable. If you recruit heroes early, you are no longer heroes. The author does not have modern educational theories and concepts, but must be able to cultivate a group of outstanding military, political, strategic, and economic talents, and far surpass the ancients in knowledge, theory, and thinking. Happy day

□ When a people is suspicious or even dismissive of its own history, culture, and race, how far is it from being slaughtered by others? The superpower of the former Soviet Union suddenly collapsed without firing a shot. Why? The root cause is a mental breakdown. How did it collapse? Defeated by people's invisible 'unrestricted warfare'. Some people in China today despise everything in China and worship everything in the West, buying and selling a glorious page in China's history. What does this mean? At least it proves that 'unrestricted warfare' is not far away, and that other people's psychological warfare has already come to the door. Zihua

□ [Essence] I think the task of the protagonist is to establish a fair, honest and effective government system so that every China can learn knowledge, tell everyone the concept of equality in agriculture and industry, tell everyone the wonder of the outside world, cultivate people's spirit of exploration, the spirit of seeking knowledge, the spirit of martial arts, and establish a scientific outlook on development, I think with the wisdom of the Chinese nation, maybe in a few hundred years there will be a more advanced system than capitalism, there is no need to copy foreign experience and learn from foreign countries, Just make sure that we are always at the forefront of the world Liuba knife

□ The internal saint and the outer king, the internal democracy, and the external crackdown, division and co-optation, the so-called way of hegemony complement each other. Big step

□ [Essence] Youzhou and Bingzhou are places where cavalry is produced, and the white horse cavalry of the Gongsun family was still very famous in the Three Kingdoms era, so it is necessary to pay attention to the development of troops that suppress cavalry when expanding, such as the combination of heavy infantry and spearman archers or the combination of chariot formation and light cavalry, rather than blindly fighting cavalry with cavalry, after all, the maintenance cost of cavalry is high, the training is difficult, and the overall quality is not as good as that of foreign cavalry. armymen

□ [Essence] Among the three elements of the army's combat effectiveness, attack power, defense power, and mobility, mobility is the most important, and with overwhelming mobility, you have the initiative to fight, I can take the initiative to attack you, but you can't take the initiative to attack me, I can retreat if I defeat it, and fight again in formation, if you are defeated, you can only wait for the end. tasd

□ [Essence] The overwhelming mobility of cavalry against infantry, not to mention that riding can turn into foot, but foot cannot turn into horseman. A full-fledged army, which will definitely not be without the shadow tasd of cavalry

□ A large number of heavy cavalry assisted by a small number of light cavalry is the most restrained white horse cavalry tasd

□ [Essence]TASD is justified in saying that ancient education was indeed deficient in political and military strategy, resulting in a shortage of talents in this area. From the Middle Ages onwards, the central figures of the Western state had to learn the science of war and politics when they were educated. The famous Machiavelli's "Treatise on the Monarch" was produced under the circumstances of the time, and a series of political books were published at the time, but in China it was the rigid Cheng Zhu theory that prevailed. It's all suffocating. Happy day

□ China] Timur and Ottoman Turks had a big battle, in the battle, he used 20,000 light cavalry to drag the enemy's central main force, and at the same time concentrated 80,000 heavy cavalry to attack the enemy's two flanks of 30,000 light cavalry, in one fell swoop forced 4,500 people to raise their hands to surrender, and then completely annihilated this Turkish army Why did the Turkish light cavalry not retreat? Can they be returned? After all, they are relatively fast and can run away. But they can't, because they have to cover the flanks of the main forces, the battle is not so simple, it's not that the light cavalry can retreat if they want to, what about the other brother units? What about the weight of grain and grass? Detached from all this, does the mobility of the hussars make sense? The White Horse Cavalry is actually the light cavalry TASD

□ Even when the development of light cavalry was at the limit of Mongolia, the Mongolian heavy cavalry was still in front of the army, holding long knives and wearing iron armor. tasd

□ The Art of War listed the military system as an important factor in warfare. If you consider introducing this system and matching it with a general, the odds of winning will be greatly increased. There are three ways to choose what is appropriate for the modern military system: First, the reserve system. In the case of insufficient troops, it was not the old peasants who rose up against it, but a group of people who popularized military training. The classic can be referred to as Switzerland, which is a soldier of several people, although it is small and the surrounding countries are underestimated. Happy day

□ [Essence] Second, the modern military system also pays attention to think tanks, and a general staff department is set up for feedback and implementation of its strategy. The famous RAND Corporation of the United States can make predictions, program optimization, and evaluation for US military strategic wars. The General Staff ensured that the implementation of the program in the context of the time was corrected and not implemented in the case of the ensured target, and that "the foreign monarch would not be subject to the order" The ancient Chinese had this awareness, but the real thing was always degraded or killed. If this is the case, military power can be used even more. Happy day

□ [Essence] Third, pay attention to the training of grassroots officers. The Roman and Teutonic legions were rampant at that time, and even if the large army was defeated, it would not be defeated, and the cohesion of the junior officers was indispensable. In ancient Chinese wars, the main general was often killed, and his subordinates were either organized or routed. If there is still a remnant of resistance, there must be a more prestigious general who is gathering the army, but this is an unconscious act rather than a conscious training of grass-middle officers. Happy day

□ [Essence] Kill Liu Hun, but he must affirm his guilt and his subordinates. For foreign races, they should be "sticks" and "carrots", and assimilate them by economic, cultural and other means, so that they can become the vanguard of conquering the world and colonizing. Alexander

□ [Essence] Liu Hun can not stay, the author just said that to build a democratic society, the legal system is indispensable, Liu Hun rebellion should be Ling Chi according to the ancient law, there is no law, how to talk about the rule of law, foreigners worship force, not a person who pays attention to benevolence and righteousness, should be deterred by force, bribed with money, and then cut the power of tribal leaders by intermarriage and other methods can refer to the method of subduing the Mongol tribes in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. tasd

□ Violent solution is not a good way, when Gongsun Zhang wantonly killed foreign tribes, as a result, when Gongsun and Yuan Shao confronted each other, Karasuma dispatched hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry to help Yuan Shao defeat Gongsun Zhang, and even the imperial court used foreign soldiers to quell the rebellion, as for the unification of foreign tribes by one person, this is not even a thought, every time the foreign tribes march into the Central Plains in a big way, it is when their tribes are unified, or divide and control it is the best policy tasd

□ [Essence] And the West will develop so quickly (the era of industrialization) for many reasons, religion is one ring, and ideology is one ring (curiosity!). Politically (Confucianism originally represented order!, the social order of the monarchs of heaven and earth, but Dong Zhongshu in the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism and everything changed, suppressing all doctrines; Politically, the West respects the royal power and does not restrict other doctrines as long as it does not threaten the monarchy, and religion originally suppressed other doctrines, but later various theories rose up after the influence of religion decreased) Economically, China was based on agriculture and did not value industry and commerce, and the Middle and Middle Ages West was not conducive to agriculture! Topographically, the western sea is surrounded by many sides and the Mediterranean Sea is not very windy, which is conducive to navigation, followed by China's southern ship and northern Malaysia conditions, and in society, China's social status as a farmer, a businessman, and a class of ronin swordsman for the enslavement of Western nobles and commoners

□ [Essence] In the era of the Three Kingdoms, the military general is the soul of the army, basically once the military general has any accidents, the army will be in chaos, so the importance of the powerful military generals will appear, if the training of middle and lower level officers is strengthened, then the use of subordinate leadership system and small group organization (such as modern regiment, battalion system) can effectively reduce the loss of military generals after accidents. Killer Star

□ [Essence] Regarding the military generals, the military generals-> forces-> strategy-> strategy, because since ancient times, the peasants have become soldiers when they take up arms, and their combat effectiveness is low (similar to the Japanese miscellaneous soldiers), and it is no wonder that Cao Cao implemented the Tuntian policy, and he was busy with agriculture when he was busy with training, so the beginning of the war became the supremacy of personal martial arts, professional soldiers: the generals were all cadres and the small soldiers did not retreat, Huaxiong Lu Buke regarded as the initial representative, the rear forces and the scale of the war gradually increased, and the strategic deployment was more important, Lu Bu, who was invincible in the world, was later drowned by Cao Cao (Wu Jiang-> forces), Yuan led hundreds of thousands of troops to defeat the conspiracy Cao (forces-> conspiracy), Ge Lian Wu resisted Cao, Guan Yu fought Wei, and Wu Guoqi captured Jingzhou! Strategic deployment is also Ronin Swordsman

□ There should be a realistic impetus for the expansion of the alien race, that is, the existing land cannot meet the needs of the people of the own people. But expansion inevitably clashed with the natives, who would be difficult to conquer if they were not several times more powerful. Because of the problem of identity, even if the conquest is temporary, once the strong pressure is relieved, the revolt will come again, and because the costs and costs of repression and management are too great, the conqueror will plunder the resources of the conquered area on the one hand, and compare the cost of conquest with the reward on the other. If the gains outweigh the losses, they will give up the conquered lands. tasd

□ It is also possible that the expropriation of conquered lands has caused irreconcilable contradictions between the conqueror and the conquered. So the uprising swarmed, a bloody and brutal contest. If the insurgents win, then justice gains blood. As a result of the defeat of the conqueror, the contradictions that were originally concealed by the victory will quickly intensify, and the internal contradictions of the multiple forces will break the original balance and redistribute power. Then it will be another bloody storm of struggle for power tasd

□ Examples of successful expansion are generally only when the target of expansion is sparsely populated and the indigenous people are too weak, in which case the conqueror will either resort to massacres and bloody means to acquire land. Either they can take the means of Huairou and provide simple help to the indigenous people, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment, and then the region can be brought back to the territory, but in any case, expansion will not completely solve the deep contradictions of the expansionists, and at most it is only a way to blame others. If a country or a nation wants to develop, it will ultimately have to solve problems on its own! tasd
