"Haha, you are a typical woman's opinion, Brother Tan, this should not be what you should imagine as a general." Wei Zheng smiled.
"Commander Wei, you are also a taboo, just finished speaking, you are allowed to have your own opinions, and you can't laugh at them. More than 50 nationalities, more than 50 flowers, not to mention, this idea is still quite good, very Confucian style. Lin Haifeng looked at Wei Zheng with a smile, "However, among the few of us, it is you, Commander Wei, who is a brother of the Zhuang clan, and you have a greater say on the issue of ethnic policy, so I would like to hear your opinion." ”
"This ...... I think that although we are a big family with more than 50 nationalities, these 50 or so nationalities should not be the more than 50 flowers vying to spit out in the flower garden, as Commander Tan said. Wei Zheng looked at Tan Shaoguang and the others, and then looked at Lin Haifeng, "Your Highness, I am from the mountains, and I am not very interested in flowers and plants, because although it decorates the mountains with yellow, yellow, green and green, it is beautiful, but it cannot become a material." Therefore, my favorite is still in the mountains, especially the towering trees that stand tall and tall on the top of the mountain. Speaking of which, no matter how many nationalities there are in our family, we only have one common name, and that is the Chinese nation that His Highness often says. ”
"Comparing our nation to a towering tree standing on the top of the mountains, with a glance at the small mountains, this is very suitable for our pursuit." Lee so-sung smiled.
"Well, it's very novel," Lin Haifeng nodded, smiled, and then looked at Wei Zheng encouragingly, "continued. ”
Wei Zheng picked up the coarse porcelain bowl on the ground in front of him, took a big sip, and wiped his mouth, "Good flowers need green leaves, and the big tree of our Chinese nation will always have a trunk and branches." However, a good mountain dweller knows that the best way to make a tree straight and strong is to prune it as necessary. Our Chinese nation is the same, there must always be a representative thing, that is, the backbone, and this backbone can only be undertaken by the broad Han culture, and other national cultures, as members of the big family, can only be auxiliary. I am a strong person, and I will naturally not forget the good customs unique to my own nation, but I will not remember that I am a strong person anytime and anywhere, and I am just an ordinary member of this big family, just like everyone else. ”
Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Tan Shaoguang, "Brother, it is not possible to have a thousand purples and thousands of reds, you can only show off one flower, and the Chinese nation can show off one flower." If the fifty flowers compete with each other, do not give in to each other, do not say anything else, as long as I think every day that I am a strong man, what should I do for the rejuvenation of my nation, the result will be to today's Shaanxi and Gansu, sooner or later will lead to a split. In order for the unification of the Celestial Empire to never change its color, and for the Chinese nation to truly stand on the top of the mountain, all nationalities in the big family should dilute some of their own things. Just like Qin Shi Huang unified weights and measures, lanes, etc., we must not only have a long-standing historical unity: the unity of the country, the unity of writing, and the unity of the chronicles, but also have the firm belief that the same land and the same dream. ”
"What Commander Wei said...... That makes sense! Li Xiucheng pondered for a while, "If we want all ethnic groups to bloom and not give in to each other, then the Han nationality, as the absolute majority of the population, is bound to use some policies and financial resources to provide additional special assistance in order to ensure the development of other minority cultures." This is not beneficial to the development of the Celestial Empire, and of course it is not in line with the fundamental national goal of national equality. ”
"Hehe, that's all right." Lin Haifeng looked down at his watch, "Shaoguang and the others are going back to their respective defense areas today, there is still some time, and I will say a few words." In today's world history, China is actually not the oldest country, and it is not the country with the largest territory. However, our China occupies a unique position in the history of the world today. ”
Lin Haifeng shook the broken pu fan, and slowly explained to a few generals around him, saying that the Egyptians had a calendar for more than 4,000 BC, but at this time, China was still in the Neolithic Yangshao culture and Hemudu culture period. The Sumerians had the rudiments of cuneiform writing in 3500 BC, the Egyptians had the first pictorial writing at this time, and a First Dynasty began around 3200 BC.
The Phoenicians formed a city-state in 3,200 B.C., the First Dynasty of your appeared in the third millennium B.C. at the mouth of the Euphrates River, and King Kish ruled in 2,870 B.C. that the boundary between the two states in the two rivers was disputed and established a boundary stone, giving rise to the concept of national borders. The Third Dynasty of Egypt, between 2,780 and 2,680 B.C., began to build the pyramids, symbols of ancient Egyptian civilization. However, the era of the Yellow Emperor in our Chinese legend was born around 2,550 BC.
He told these generals that although the ancient Egyptians, Sumerians, Phoenicians, and Kish had earlier glories than we do, there is no country left behind them on the map of the world today, let alone any trace of the First Your dynasty. Egypt still exists, but it only exists as a country, and as for the master, it has been extinct for thousands of years. Since 1680 B.C., the Sinkers, Libyans, Macedonians, Romans, Arabs, Turks, etc., have become the new masters of this land, and the original Egyptians have long since unknowingly disappeared into the many foreign populations, and even the Egyptian language, which has been used for a long time since the third millennium B.C., has disappeared without a trace.
And what about us, China? From the Shang Dynasty, we have the concept of the state, and then Qin Shi Huang established a unified centralized state with a vast territory, although there were many civil strife, splits, ethnic wars and dynastic changes during the period, but the multi-ethnic political entity with the Han nationality, that is, the ancient Huaxia ethnic group as the main body, not only always existed, but also the unified territory became more and more extensive, and finally condensed into a unified multi-ethnic state. Therefore, among the countries with the largest territories in the world today, China is the only country with a long history of stable territory.
Why did our ancient Chinese culture continue to endure through suffering, even when it encountered the tragic situation of the Wuhu Rebellion, which could almost lead to the extinction of the Han nationality?
There is only one answer, that is, the profound Han culture that our ancestors possessed as the backbone of the Chinese nation. Whether it is writing, classics, or advanced skills, our ancestors have always unyieldingly adhered to their own national cultural position, which is the fundamental place that no other foreign race can replace......
"What Shaoguang said can't be said to be wrong, and Wei Zheng's words should make us think deeply." Lin Haifeng stopped the broken pu fan in his hand, and looked at everyone around him carefully with deep eyes again, "Today's words seem to be a bit chattering, but everyone should remember it." Or the same sentence, the world in front of us today may still be very simple, but what about the future? ”
"Your Highness, I understand!" Tan Shaoguang nodded, "As long as our Celestial Empire has been strengthening the great cause of education in the Celestial Empire as it is now, when everyone has a culture and can understand history, everyone will be like us, and any attempt to split our big family will be broken in front of the people of the Celestial Empire." ”
"Wrong." Lin Haifeng shook his head gently, "The improvement of the cultural literacy of the whole people will speed up the construction of the Celestial Empire, and will enable our national culture to be better inherited and developed." But culture is also a double-edged sword. ”
Li Xiucheng and the others looked at Lin Haifeng puzzled. The Celestial Empire has spared no effort to develop education at all levels, which is precisely thanks to the promotion of His Royal Highness King An, why is His Royal Highness King An talking about it now?
