"Behind the Shadow Door are the shadows of Gesar and Daqing? What are they going to do? ”

Patriarch Bodhidharma and everyone were puzzled.

"If my guess is correct, this Shadow Gate is likely to be related to those alien races, and even this is mixed with a clash of cultures!"

Liu Yuetian seemed to understand a little.

"Interracial? Culture? ”

Even if it was Patriarch Bodhidharma, he was confused when he listened to Liu Yuetian's words.

In the eyes of many people, the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the whole world, and the so-called Putian is not the king's land; Since the establishment of the Great Zhou, everyone must respect the king of Zhou, and all regions are the territory of the Great Zhou.

But in fact, of course not, for example, the Hu people, they come from outside the Western Regions, their appearance and language are completely different from the people of the Great Zhou, and the countries of the South Seas, the language and culture are also fundamentally different from the Great Zhou, they are naturally not the territory of the Great Zhou, nor are they in charge of the King of Zhou, but even so, people also think that these people are barbarians, a group of uncultured barbarian people, so the Great Zhou is the only advanced country in the world, and other small countries have to come to worship.

In fact, the same is true in the history of the Great Zhou, when the Great Zhou was established more than 100 years ago, there was a group of Hu people from the West who came to worship, the tall city walls and wide roads shocked them, and the exquisite bronze and iron tools also made them feel incredible, in short, everything in the Great Zhou made them feel that this place was like heaven.

Of course, these Hu people also have a lot of things that make Da Zhou feel novel, such as some seasonings, fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, peppers, tomatoes, etc., of course, the gem-like things like glass have also been brought in, so that the dignitaries and nobles of Da Zhou are eager to go.

These Fanbanghu people entered the Great Zhou and brought many strange items to the Great Zhou, but the most puzzling thing is that this group of people went around preaching a culture called Nestorianism, and they preached that they were descendants of the gods, and as long as they believed in the gods, they could become the people of the gods and eventually achieve transcendence.

At that time, the king of Zhou did not care about these people spreading the so-called Jingjiao everywhere, because they called each other as friends, loved each other, and the people obeyed the law and made the rule of the king of Zhou easier, and soon, some of the lowest common people believed in this religion, more than ten years later, this Jingjiao developed to have hundreds of thousands of followers in the Great Zhou, these people are very cohesive, and there is no bullying between each other, but they began to have a sense of hostility towards those who do not believe in Jingjiao, and believe in the gods, even if it is my relatives, do not believe it, That's my enemy.

The strength of this group of people became stronger and stronger, and even many officials of the Great Zhou became believers, and finally, they attracted the attention of the king of Zhou.

Later, the Nestorian congregation thought they were strong, and they proposed to the King of Zhou to make Nestorian the state religion and let everyone in the world believe in that god, which finally angered the King of Zhou.

The emperors of all dynasties have said that they are the sons of the Emperor of Heaven, that is, the Son of Heaven, the Emperor of Heaven rules the gods of heaven, and the Son of Heaven governs hundreds of millions of subjects in the lower realm on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven. This has affected the rule of the king of Zhou, and daring to challenge the emperor's rule is a dead end, no matter who it is.

As a result, the king of Zhou immediately sent 100,000 troops to conscript, although those Nestorian followers also had hundreds of thousands, but in front of the powerful state apparatus, where was the enemy, they were slaughtered in less than a year, and the remaining cultists entered Tibet, because only Tibet was not under the rule of the king of Zhou, and these sects have not been heard from since.

These deeds are written in the history books, but it is only a passing mention, after all, this Nestorian Religion from the rise to the demise of only ten years, before it can shake the Zhou Dynasty regime was exterminated by the army, and in the following hundreds of years, the history of Nestorian Christianity was completely covered up, only those historians will know this insignificant deed.

This is the clash of cultures, every nation or country has its own beliefs, that is, the so-called values, such as the Great Zhou, they are based on the Central Plains culture, including Legalism, Confucianism, soldiers and vertical and horizontal families, is a pluralistic culture, the apex of this culture is the regime of the Great Zhou, of course, this regime can also be the Great Xia or the Great Shang, as long as the recognition of this multiculturalism, then he is the master here, with the legal principles of governing the world.

And this Nestorianism is obviously a theocratic religion, believing in the only god, as long as you become a believer, you will be protected by the gods, and these cultists will also form a country, a kind of **** country.

The Great Zhou is a multicultural country, multiculturalism makes the Great Zhou have a strong inclusiveness, as long as you obey the leadership of the King of Zhou, I will not care about you, but the country composed of Nestorian religion is a monistic country, with a strong xenophobia, do not believe in my religion is a pagan, must be eliminated or made by force to believe.

The history of Liu Yuetian's previous life This cultural conflict has happened many times, all of which occurred in an era of extremely low productivity, you believe in this god, and I believe in another god, when no one can convince anyone, then it can only be solved by force, the result can only be faith in a god, this historical stage is called the dark Middle Ages by later generations, this era is really dark, science and technology are suppressed, ideas are imprisoned, continuous wars between countries, wars that last for decades or even hundreds of years are very common, There is no hope for the common people.

However, the continuous conquest has also shaken the economic foundation of the country, many countries have been destroyed in the years of war, the nation and culture have been reborn in the destruction, and the human mind has also burst out of sparks under the impact of different cultures, the dark Middle Ages is like the darkness before the dawn, after that, mankind has entered a new era, especially the rapid development of natural science, physics, chemistry, biology and astronomy have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

The Great Zhou is a huge land agricultural country, such a national characteristic is a kind of centripetal, people occupy a large amount of land, they have enough food supply, life is very stable, stable country development will be very fast, for example, a Great Zhou has a history of more than 700 years, in such a long history will naturally give birth to a lot of shocking projects, such as the Chang'an City that covers an area of hundreds of miles, up to five or six zhang high city wall.

And those people in non-agricultural countries are facing completely different living conditions, their lives are very unstable, relying on hunting and fishing for a living, the country born in this living environment is an export-oriented culture, if you want to develop, you must continue to expand outward, because the development of the country is very unstable, so the construction and scale of the city are very low, for example, the history books said that those Fanbanghu people were shocked by the architecture of the Great Zhou, because their country continues to expand outward, it will not take time to build huge buildings.

This is the difference between the two cultures, and behind this Shadow Gate, it is actually the influence of this Nestorianism.
