"Check the Western political system, with China's 'people as the state' as the guideline, where Confucius and Meng, the people are the state-based, the people are noble and the monarch is light, the righteous have more help, the unrighteous have little help, the water can carry the boat, can also overturn the boat, etc., are the foundation of the Western political system. The current political system of the Western Kingdom is not its originality, and its origin is investigated, that is, the way of the Chinese sages. The Analects of the Analects: 'The People Are Enough, Which One Is Enough, Which One Is Enough?' The people are insufficient, who is the king? ’。 "University"'s "wealth gathering **** scattered, wealth scattered **** gathered." The virtuous are also the first, and the rich are also the end.

"Voltaire, the great sage of France, has the reputation of 'the father of French thought', 'the conscience of Europe', the 'fighter of enlightenment', and the 'prince of spirit'.

Throughout his life, Cha Fu respected Confucius and Mencius, which can be described as extreme. He wrote a lot of books in his life, expounding the words of the Holy Religion and educating the people, and he also set up the statue of Confucius in the room, and worshiped day and night. The great contribution of Fu's exposition was great, and the theory of the Holy Religion was spread all over the continent, and the political system of the countries of Europa changed again, and they all admired the theory of 'the people are the foundation of the state', and they became rich and ......strong."

Seeing this, Prince Gong already understood the gist of the article, and couldn't help nodding his head again and again.

Of course, Prince Gong didn't know that the author of this article was a time-traveler from the afterlife.

Lin Yizhe's article is purely for the purpose of "breaking the problem", in this article, he uses all his knowledge and understanding of Chinese and Western cultures.

In later generations, under the influence of the so-called "mainstream view of history" and "dichotomy", China's cultural circles attributed China's temporary decline to Chinese culture. While they are looking for the road to a strong country with great enthusiasm, they are also smashing traditional Chinese culture with great enthusiasm. I thought that if we destroyed traditional Chinese culture, China would be able to become strong. Lin Yizhe has always been critical of this.

In fact, Chinese culture gave birth to the Renaissance movement and the Great Geographical Discoveries. China's four great inventions are the terms defined by Europeans. Because these four great inventions were of great significance to Europe. Like paper and printing, books became popular. Ancient Greek books on philosophy, science, literature, etc., began to spread at a lower cost because of paper and printing. Before gunpowder entered Europe, Europe was mainly feudal aristocratic estates, and after gunpowder was introduced to Europe, kings and urban commoners began to attack these feudal estates and establish a unified nation-state. Otherwise, the situation of the countries of Europe is like that of the Warring States period in China, where a township is a small kingdom, the country is torn apart, and the king exists in name only. The compass facilitated the great geographical discoveries. Without a compass, it is impossible to discover the New World. The most important thing is that Chinese philosophical thought has become a powerful weapon for the anti-feudal and anti-religious circles of European intellectuals, and has become an important ideological driving force for the European Enlightenment ideological movement. In religious Europe, the human mind was a slave to God, and people thought that if there was no God in their hearts, they would feel guilty. However, the atheism and rationalism of Chinese Confucian culture allowed Europeans to see a country that did not believe in God, and the people had a positive and happy heart. This promotes the thinking of rationalist philosophy. In Chinese Confucian culture, the idea that the monarch is the lightest, the people are the most important, and the people's will determines the political power has become the source of European democratic thought.

And now, Lin Yizhe wants to use these historical facts to achieve his ice-breaking feat and break the shackles of the Chinese mind!

Lin Yizhe brought up Voltaire, the most important thinker of the French Enlightenment, because Voltaire strongly admired Chinese culture, and once sighed: "It is a great misfortune that we cannot be like the Chinese!" In the article, Lin Yizhe specifically mentioned Voltaire in his Philosophical Dictionary, saying: "I have read these works of Confucius with all my heart, and I have drawn the essence from them, and I have never found anything in them except the purest morality, and there is no hint of deception in the pretense of being an expert." "The happiest and most respectable era that has ever existed on earth is the era when people respected Confucius's laws." and Voe's declaration that "morally Europeans should be apprentices of the Chinese." At that time, the major schools of thought in France drew a lot of nourishment from Chinese philosophy and promoted the Enlightenment of thought in France. Lin Yizhe also mentioned in the article that Diderot, the most important thinker of the Encyclopedist School, once commented on China: "The Chinese nation, with its long history, culture, art, wisdom, politics, and philosophical taste, is all above all nations. Lin Yizhe also mentioned that Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, etc., were also directly or indirectly influenced by Chinese culture and philosophy. Goethe also highly admired Chinese culture, and he read a lot of works from China, learned the genre of Chinese poetry to make poems, and learned to write Chinese characters.

Lin Yizhe also mentioned that many Europeans, especially the upper class society at that time, took pride in learning the Chinese style, and painting, interior decoration, architecture, furniture, porcelain, textiles, etc. all imitated the Chinese style. He also used the French term Chinoiserie ("chinoiserie" or "chinoiserie") to describe the wave of Western learning of Chinese culture, and said that in Britain, France and Prussia, there are still many buildings that show the imprint of China.

In the article, Lin Yizhe believes that the Western countries "have become rich and strong, but they have not been caused by their long-term entry into China and their knowledge of the Holy Religion." With a stroke of the pen, all the achievements of Western civilization are attributed to the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. He then "explained" why Westerners understood the way of Chinese sages: "The sages and sages of Gai Pi admired the holy religion with all their hearts, and for more than 100 years, they vigorously promoted education, and the political system of the Western country changed, so that today's country is strong and the people are rich."

Lin Yizhe pointed out in the article that it was the foreigners who were able to carry forward the way of the saints they understood, so that the foreigners entered a higher realm at the level of civilization and created a graceful and prosperous country.

In this way, Lin Yizhe not only succeeded in dissolving the impact of Western civilization on the traditional Chinese cognitive structure, but also regained confidence in traditional Chinese culture -- the stronger the Western civilization, the more it can "prove" the strength of China's "holy religion" to radiate all over the world! At the end of the article, Lin Yizhe emphasized: The more advanced Western civilization is, the more it can prove the glorious correctness of the "Holy Religion", the more it can prove the strength of China's ability to "use Xia to change the country", and the more it can prove that China is the center of the "world" civilization!

According to this logic, Lin Yizhe still needs to solve another question: Since Western politics and customs are good, and they are also the products of China's "holy religion", can China learn from Western civilization?

The answer, of course, is yes!

Don't just learn! And you have to learn!

In the article, Lin Yizhe believes that the reason why Western countries are richer and stronger than China is that they have absorbed nourishment from China's "holy religion" and have carried forward the "holy religion", because the "holy religion" is universal.

And what China needs to learn now is these things that foreigners will carry forward and develop!

To this end, Lin Yizhe specifically gave the example of gunpowder: gunpowder was originally invented by the Chinese, and in China, it was first used to make firecrackers, and later used in the military, and weapons such as guns and artillery appeared. After the gunpowder weapons were transmitted to the West, the West used them to "carry forward" and make them into "flowering cannons," "destroying cities and cracking stones," "invincible," and "unprecedentedly in the Middle Earth." Naturally, there is no problem for China to take back such things that "originated from China" and "use them for reference" -- and now China has begun to do so. Then, there should not be any obstacle to such things as the political, economic, and cultural aspects of Western countries that are "carried forward by the Holy Religion", and even directly use them!

It is the center of world civilization, and if you don't study hard to catch up with and surpass the West, how can you reflect the superiority of ****?!

At this point, Lin Yizhe himself was almost overwhelmed by this powerful and weird logic that he had come up with.

But in this era when the conservative and stubborn forces are extremely strong, he can only use this method!

In order to add weight to his article, at the end of the article, Lin Yizhe also attached a French poem and a Chinese translation. The poem Voltaire praises Confucius:

"He explains only with sound reason,

He doesn't dazzle the world, but opens the heart,

His speech is just a saint,

Never a prophet,

Yet people believed in him, as in his own homeland. ”
