1036. Cultural Output (Medium)
Of course, Jingwen knows the importance of cultural export, and later generations actually have a saying, that is, third-rate countries export products, second-rate countries export technology, and first-rate countries export culture. Only those countries with export culture can be regarded as first-class countries, and those countries that rely on exports to earn foreign exchange have not really reached the peak. Didn't U.S. imperialism in later generations promote so-called American values all over the world, and then influence people all over the world? And those who watch American movies and TV series, and worship American stars, all have their hearts set on the United States. Then I don't know how many people became banana people, and they did not hesitate to betray their country in turn. Therefore, this is the importance of cultural export, which can cultivate a lot of non-staff nationals for oneself without being bought, and then let them make trouble in their own homeland.
And now that Jingwen has crossed over, of course he can't miss this opportunity. Of course, Jingwen wants to treat others in his own way, and teach the Yankee ancestors a good lesson. And now, although there are no Yankees, Jingwen can learn Chinese culture for Europeans, so that everyone will learn Chinese culture in the future, and they will be able to become supernumerary nationals of China, so that China will be able to go on an expedition to Europe one day, and there will definitely be a large number of traitors leading the way for the Chinese army. So although this cultural output does not have the bloodshed of real knives and guns, this is enough to kill people without blood! This method of cultural export can disintegrate the national will of other countries, and then almost make it impossible for them to resist.
"Your Majesty, although we in China have been assimilating the Hu people in the past dynasties, they are all passive assimilation of the Hu people. After the Hu people were defeated by us, they were forced to slowly integrate into us. And even this time the Turks were defeated by us and forced to integrate into us. But why don't we take the initiative to go out and let our culture be remembered by every foreigner? And although their bodies are foreigners' bodies, and their bloodlines have not changed, they have a heart for us. After that, we can integrate all those foreigners into us without any resistance. Isn't that nice, you say? When the time comes, once we have the Tang army all over the world. That's all unimpeded! Of course, in order to achieve this qiē, it is necessary to make efforts to spread our culture. We can send corresponding messengers to the West to carry out these tasks. We can even learn from religious people and learn how they spread their beliefs. In fact, this kind of cultural transmission is similar to faith, but this kind of cultural transmission is more advanced. Jingwen said.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "In that case, do you mean to let this Tongwen Pavilion be in charge of this matter?" ”
"Your Majesty, of course! It seems that Tongbunkan is only a translation agency, but who has stipulated that only we can translate foreign works? Can't we translate our writings to foreigners? We can also translate the writings of our own country into a hundred schools of thought for foreigners, so that they can see that our doctrines are also very advanced. Since we are able to translate the writings of foreigners, our first task is not only to improve our culture through the writings of foreigners, but also to study the loopholes in the writings of foreigners, and then use our own strengths to attack the weaknesses of the enemy. Where are their shortcomings, where are our strengths, so that we can target their shortcomings to promote our Chinese thinking. After all, there is no doctrine or culture in the world that is completely seamless, and there are loopholes. But we might as well borrow from these loopholes. Attacking them vigorously destroys their self-confidence in their own national culture, so that they will also think that the culture of their own country and nation is useless, as if it is all dross and garbage. It's useless at all. They will not have any self-confidence in front of us Chinese, and they will become distrustful of themselves, so they will also learn from our Tang Dynasty and accept our Chinese culture in its entirety. Jingwen said.
Jingwen's statement is very insidious. In fact, it is to learn the methods of those foreigners in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. At that time, the so-called literati were all praising the stinky feet of foreigners and belittled their own culture to the point of being useless. In fact, every country's culture has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, those scum in the literary world who have been brainwashed by foreigners have actually attacked Chinese culture vigorously, as if the culture of Chinese is useless and must be completely Westernized. And this kind of thinking until the 21st century, in fact, there are still many poisons, I have to say that this kind of thinking is too dangerous. It was not until the end of the 20th century that many people really realized that the culture of their country was very important, and that without the culture of their own country, the spirit of the whole country would collapse. Therefore, at that time, I really paid attention to the traditional culture that the artistic conception had been thrown away for many years, but at that time, the artistic conception of the traditional culture was very strict, and it was too late to continue the artistic conception.
However, Jingwen is based on the idea of blood for blood and tooth for tooth, and he intends to give this set to those Western Europeans. Although the Tang Dynasty is currently unable to send a large army to expedition to Europe, it can use culture to conquer Europe, which is the same method as the Western countries in later generations, but it is just the opposite. Lash out at their culture so that they lose confidence in their own culture completely. In this way, they feel that their country's culture is useless at all, so it is very cool. Once a nation has completely lost confidence in its own culture, what awaits them will be the collapse of national beliefs, and then they will completely lose their combat effectiveness.
Even if they had a strong army, it wouldn't work. The soul of a nation has been drained, and no matter how good their weapons are and how strong their army is, they are definitely not the opponents of others. Therefore, it is always people, not weapons, that decide war. At this stage, the Tang Dynasty can gradually expand to the west by focusing on culture and supplemented by force. Once the foreign army does not have enough spiritual will, I am afraid that in the end, it will cause the army to completely lose its resistance and be unable to resist the invasion of the Tang Dynasty.
"Hmph, when Western countries say that they want to be fully sinicized, that will be our victory." Jing Wen thought to himself. (To be continued......)
