Section 322 Cultivating the world's scholars

Yang Chao was very touched by Zeppelin's death, so he thought of some things and figured out some things. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, Chinese scholars are already turning around, and their steps are much larger than ordinary people. It's just that in later generations, they lost in the power struggle, so they were criticized as backward and decadent, and the culture they represented also turned around and failed, and became backward and decadent.

No matter how you look at it, Brother Pao's group of people were not in the past, not in modern times, and will not be the elite of the country in the future, and no country is established and ruled by Liu gangsters.

Compared with Brother Pao's gangsters, Yang Chao is more optimistic about figures like Zhang Jian, under the banner of industry to save the country, countless scholars have inherited their predecessors and joined the industry, and when Brother Pao's group of people take power, these national capitalists transformed by the scholar class will be squeezed to death one by one, Zhang Jiaao's Bank of China will be run by the central bank presided over by Song Ziwen, a country's central bank does not protect its own banking industry, and it wants to bankrupt them through runs and other methods, the only purpose is to control the financial industry.

Fortunately, all these tragedies have now been reversed by Yang Chao, not to mention the industries in Shandong and other places, the capitalists in the Jiangnan area alone are now counted in tens of thousands, some of these capitalists are self-made figures, some are local big families investing in industry, and scholars like Zhang Jian have changed, it can be said that the lower-class laborers and the rural gentry and scholars who were born in school are combined.

Supporting such a class to be strong, just like Britain and Germany, the successful turn of the aristocracy and Juncker is equivalent to the successful turn of the country, a smooth and stable turn.

But Yang Chao has not done enough, in the process of the rapid rise of national strength, a large number of new generation forces are too westernized, too radical, and a large number of people who deny traditional culture instead of criticism accept and transform, including Lu Xun's large number of foreign personnel, who worship foreign ideas too much, see that traditional criticism is useless, and the traditional morality of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith is rated as hypocritical morality, and the realization of the West advocating interests is admired as supreme, and moral degradation begins here, but Westerners are under the impact of industrialization. Slowly and carefully keep his traditions, and in later generations he can criticize the Chinese from a moral standpoint.

It is impossible to simply deny the morality of these new-school characters, but they are in an era of great collision between Chinese and Western cultures, and they have lost themselves.

The result of being lost is that the morality of these people was not accepted and recognized at that time, and it could not be recognized in later generations, how can Lu Xun and his students not be said to be compound perfect morality, if the professor in later generations had an affair with his female students, he would wait to be criticized by the whole people, because with the development of the economy in later generations, the cultural pride of the people began to recover, and the tradition also recovered some.

Chen Duxiu went to the Ji Academy to compete with the students in the university for Sister Yao, and was expelled. Hu Shi refused to divorce his wife arranged in the countryside, and Duxiu slapped the table and scolded him for not daring to resist the old-fashioned marriage. Did he ever think about how the women in the countryside would survive without men, how could they be innocent? Liang Shiqiu and a large number of others abandoned their wives to find new-school women under the guise of rebelling against decadent culture.

These people have no sympathy for the country women they have abandoned in their eyes, they have turned their backs on the old morality, but they have not established a new morality, so there is no morality at all, this is a tragedy, a tragedy of the times, a tragedy of history.

"Train Chinese scholars!"

It was during the Zeppelin funeral.

Yang Chao began to put his thoughts out.

Cultivating Chinese scholars and doctors, re-elevating the virtues of "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, trustworthiness, gentleness, courtesy, frugality, loyalty, filial piety, majesty, and majesty", declaring war on the chaotic moral concepts of the intellectual circles, and reshaping the moral standards of the country and the nation.

"It is China's fortune to train a group of scholars; Not only to cultivate the Chinese scholar class, but also to train the world's scholars in the future, that is the world's luck. ”

Well, the training of Chinese scholars is to enable China's traditional power class to smoothly turn around and adapt to the new era. To train scholars from all over the world is to expand culture, and to export values and world views.

It may be difficult for Westerners to accept the feelings of the Chinese elite, the ideals and revenge for the country and the people, but it is easy for the Eastern countries to accept them, and the Koreans, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Ryukyuans, which have long been pioneered by the Confucian era, have no hindrance to accepting them.

"This is a system engineering, not a simple inheritance, but a critical acceptance, rational guidance. There is no denying that there is dross in traditional culture. For example, I have always objected to the binding of small feet, don't you also cut the braids, I have never forced it, you can automatically cut the braids, which means that the braids in your heart are also cut. ”

Yang Chao took braids as an example, and Yang Chao was not forced from beginning to end, because the more compulsory this thing is, the worse the effect, and changing customs is the most taboo to rush for quick success. Rather, through guidance and publicity, let the people know that braids are not traditional hair accessories. Of course, the traditional kind of crown is too troublesome, and Yang Chao did not advocate it. Nowadays, the old men in many places still wear braids, but the students in the school who wear braids will be laughed at.

"Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith will never go out of style, and gentleness, courtesy and thrift will never fall behind! Don't be superstitious about the adventurous spirit of the West, the spirit of chivalry, to put it bluntly, our ancient culture has it. Song Xianggong was unwilling to attack the Chu army that was crossing the river, which was a manifestation of aristocratic culture. It's just that Liu Bang started and ended the aristocratic culture of the Western Zhou Dynasty and passed it down bit by bit through Confucianism. ”

"The reason why Confucian culture has never been able to evolve into modern culture is that Confucian culture is fundamentally a kind of aristocratic culture of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which evolved from the slave-owning class of the Western Zhou Dynasty and before. Confucius has always wanted to revive the aristocracy of the Western Zhou Dynasty. If you look at the manors of the Confucian Mansion, they are simply the feudal estates of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Confucian family has judicial power over the peasants, and it is completely an independent kingdom. ”

But Confucianism is not completely rotten, it is an aristocratic culture in the end, there is always some moral idealism, Cang Liao knows etiquette, and educated nobles are always higher than illiterate moral level. Qin Shi Huang, who was scolded for thousands of years and was brutal for thousands of years, did not kill the heroes, what did Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a peasant, do? There is a root cause for this. All men are created equal, and the poor and the rich are equal in personality, but the difference in education makes the overall level of morality different. I'm not disgusted with the poor, but I'm talking about the fact that when you have money, you won't have to pay for it, and the poor have to waste half of their mouths when they buy vegetables, and it is common for people to quarrel and fight in the vegetable market, and even people who can't afford to eat are reasonable to pick up knives and rob houses. ”

"Therefore, if we want to change the moral culture of the whole people, we must raise the level of education of everyone, give the poor a fair opportunity to educate, let them understand what universal morality is, let them also know etiquette and morality, let them know that picking up a knife and talking is not the right way, so that the country will be stable."

Yang Chao said that he was like a river, of course, the feelings that came from his mouth casually could not be too clear in terms of methodology.

"Zhang Nian, sort out what I said, and then find some people who have received traditional education and new education, preferably those who have studied abroad and are famous, so that everyone can sort out the traditional culture and morality, not only Confucianism, but also many things of Legalism and Mohism are also worth advocating."

Yang Chao knew that his proposal as president would definitely cause a huge controversy, and even many voices scolding him against him would appear, especially those current social elites and those Westernized backbones.

It will even soon cause a big controversy in public opinion, a big shock in thought, and a big impact on culture, but Yang Chao is unswerving, because this is the right thing, and it is better to do it now than to revisit Chinese culture and reshape the national spirit more than a hundred years later.

I have to say that the Chinese have failed too much, and the arrogance of occupying the commanding heights of culture for thousands of years has made it difficult for the Chinese scholar class to reflect and change their thinking as quickly as the Japanese, but the Japanese have changed quickly, but they have not completely abandoned the tradition, but have picked up the samurai spirit, summarized and developed the samurai spirit, and promoted the bushido to the whole people.

"Who can deny that figures like Fan Zhongyan and Wen Tianxiang, no matter what aspect of the rebellion, their morals are noble. I have to advocate this kind of morality, Fan Zhongyan and Wen Tianxiang are still symbols, and by the way, I am looking for someone to help me design a medal, which is called the Fan Wen Medal, which is made of sterling silver for the third class, pure gold for the second class, and white jade for the first class. ”

"However, the tradition emphasizes too much on civilian officials, and the cultural atmosphere of suppressing military generals is too strong, and the civilian government is the trend of the future, but the spirit of courage cannot be missing. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Han and Tang Dynasties, the martial arts have not disappeared, and it has been weakened since the Song and Ming dynasties, and now it is mentioned. also made medals, civil officials such as Fan Zhongyan and Wen Tianxiang, and military generals such as Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang. The same design of a medal to commend the generals, it is called the Yue Qi Medal! ”

Yang Chao's idea is being perfected little by little, through publicity and encouragement, and rewards to promote, I believe that it will definitely have the desired effect over time.

However, this is a long-term project, which cannot be completed overnight, and may be met with a huge backlash at the beginning.

As Yang Chao expected, when what Zhang Nian summarized was published in the newspaper in the name of Yang Chao, a large number of people attacked him, refuted it with various positions and arguments, and criticized China's moral standards with various Western moral standards.

Because of their different positions, some people are always criticizing, and their starting point is to stand in the West, so in their eyes, everything in China is bad.

However, Yang Chao's article "Cultivating the World's Scholars" has been popular in North Korea and Japan, which really makes people think deeply, and even Yang Chao has to think about whether North Korea and Japan are worried about the threat of China, so they want China to do things like scholars?

Seven days after the coffin was stopped according to Chinese tradition, Zeppelin loaded a Chinese warship and was to be transported to Germany, where Britain and France gave it their go, and Germany announced that it would temporarily restrain submarine warfare.

Zeppelin left, leaving behind an advanced airship company, and a Chinese mechanical technology center.

And this airship company is almost wholly owned by Yang Chao, and Zeppelin is gone, and he now has to personally take care of the management work.

Before Yang Chao left, he had a meeting with Maybach and others on the future development direction, and it was decided at the meeting that Zeppelin began to diversify and enter the automobile industry in the next step! (To be continued.) )
