First, let's be narcissistic.

In 1745, Voltaire wrote in the New Theses on the History of Human Thought: "Why do we not pay attention to the study of the ideas of India, China, and other ancient Oriental countries, wearing the fine fabrics they weaved, entertaining themselves with games they invented, and inculcating customs with their ancient moral fables?" We, the merchants of Europe, waited for a viable route and went straight there. When you as thinkers come to learn the history of this planet, you must first look to the East, which is the cradle of all crafts, and every qiē of the West is given by the East. ”

From Marco. Since the beginning of the Baltics, through the Silk Road, the appearance and connotation of oriental culture have been gradually imported into Europe, providing valuable cultural resources for the Renaissance and ideological movements that prevailed throughout Europe in the 13th century and the 16th century.

Strictly speaking, the modernization of world civilization began with the great geographical discoveries of the late 15th century. At this point in time, the modernization of world civilization can be said to have a tendency of "orientalization" in a certain way. In the 16th century, Italy published "The History of the Great Chinese Empire", and the author praised the Ming Dynasty to the point of being a mess. But it is undeniable that the Oriental civilization depicted by Mendoza really fascinated Europeans, and the Oriental country was as magnificent and prosperous as paradise in the eyes of Europeans. It can be said that oriental culture and its connotation derived, and it was also a repository of ideas for the modernization of world civilization.

At the end of the 15th century, Europe began to explore and expand abroad vigorously, and the traditional "cultural autonomy" of isolated regions began to give way to the unification of global civilizations. In the history of human civilization. Only the classical civilization of Western Europe has been permanently annihilated and cannot be restored, and has been replaced by another modern European culture that has adopted a large number of foreign cultural elements.

The mass demise of classical Western civilization cleared the way for a long-overdue intellectual and technological revolution, the beginning of a new modernity, and the spread of colonialism to the world.

With the decline of the East at the end of the 17th century, economic interests began to become the most important theme in the world, and the cultural integration between the East and the West tended to break down. With the expansion of European wealth and the expansion of world interests, Europe's interest in Oriental resources began to exceed its interest in Eastern culture. Turning to ancient Greece, which was also European, as the greatest teacher of mankind, the rhetoric of denying Oriental culture was loud, ending "the greatest culture and civilization of all mankind".

A scholarly article makes a point: before the 18th century. The West has been "learning" from the East; After the 18th century, the East gradually began to "learn" from the West. Can we understand that it is in the process of modernizing world civilization that has lasted for four centuries? Both phases lasted two hundred years each. Judging from the entire historical segment, the process of modernization of this world civilization is by no means just "Westernization", but also has continued to "easternize" for a long period of time, which is a mutual integration of Westernization and Easternization, but in different proportions. Therefore, it is naturally a misunderstanding to directly equate modern civilization with Western civilization in Europe.

Since the beginning of the 19th century, Europe has gained political and economic control over the world with its powerful colonial empire and joint-stock companies, and has further achieved cultural dominance. Europe's strong modern culture has become a global model. However, in the "closed-door doctrine", the East has forgotten the existence of the world, and thus no longer shakes hands with the modernization process of world civilization.

In modern times, the East has encountered "changes unseen in thousands of years", so that the East has not "walked out of the Middle Ages" but has been "blasted out of the Middle Ages", and the tragedy of history is nothing more than this.

This not only completely rewrote the position of Oriental culture in the world. And with the mentality of recoding the oriental culture. This makes the Chinese people always oscillate between ancient and modern China and the West in terms of cultural mentality, or worship the foreign and flattering, or inferiority and self-abandonment, or retreat from the retro, so that the oriental culture has become a political issue and a national dignity issue in the transformation of modernity. The question of the survival of a nation is not concerned with how the oriental civilization itself should return to the trajectory of modern civilization...... Monday, September 9.

Autumn in North America has finally arrived, and some of the green trees on both sides of the streets of the southern district of Manchester City have also shown a hint of autumn early, and the leaves that gradually turn yellow are falling with the wind and constantly spreading on the streets.

Compared to the previous students, who only had a half-month summer vacation and started school as early as mid-August, today is the first day of the new school year in 1624.

After registration, the age of entry for this year's first-grade students is more reasonable, most of them are under the age of 10, and the number of new students is different from last year's influx of nearly 2,000 people, this year there are less than 500 students, but there are still many European students.

Chang Kun's youngest daughter, Chang Ziyuan, is six years old, and now she is accompanied by Chang Kun and his wife to the school. Looking at the crowd of people in front of the school, when a European female teacher with brown hair and a Western-style dress came to her, Chang Ziyuan was so frightened that she cried, and she didn't let go of her mother's body.

"Sir, Madam, your daughter is lovely!" The first group of Portuguese beauties who immigrated to North America and eventually became elementary school teachers squatted down with a smile, touched the face of the little girl who was dressed beautifully and tearfully, and said in a very gentle tone, while handing a piece of candy, "Oh, dear little princess, you can meet many, many good friends here in the future." ”

The sugar was grabbed in her hand, but Chang Ziyuan cried even more, making her mother very wolfy.

"In all things of the country, educating the people is the first, Chang naturally leads by example, the little girl is enrolled in school and taught, and she will be knowledgeable and reasonable in the future, and she will also worry about the country."

Seeing that the other party spoke a relatively fluent Mandarin Mandarin, Chang Kun, who was wearing a Han-style government civil servant robe, shook his head and frequently flaunted. Seeing Chang Kun like this, the ordinary citizens around all escorted their children and turned around, continuing to wait in line for admission procedures.

"Hehe, sir, I don't quite understand what you're talking about......" The beautiful European teacher who had no understanding of classical Chinese at all smiled awkwardly and flipped through the roster of freshmen in her hand. It took a long time to find Chang Ziyuan's name, "Your daughter is in class 7, a lucky number!" ”

Chang Kun was about to ask who the "Mr. Teaching" of the class was, when suddenly there was a commotion of children in his ears.

"Barbarian! Barbarian! ”

More than a dozen Chinese children are hiding behind their parents, collectively shouting loudly at the European children who are queuing not far away, with a great sense of rhythm. And on the other side. More than a dozen new European-American freshmen looked at their parents inexplicably.

"This official brother, in this country of China, how can you let those Fanyi red hairs be teachers? Mo is not when the child grows up. Do you want to learn from the brute who eats flesh and blood? A Chinese citizen who immigrated to the country only a few months ago was protecting his child and whispering to a Chinese policeman who was maintaining order at the scene.

The Chinese policeman, who has been immigrating for almost two years, can only smile wryly and shake his head, saying that he knows nothing. A handful of European-American teachers who can understand this Chinese word. Awkwardly, they turned their heads sideways and continued to go through the formalities for the parents of the students in the queue, while the European-American citizens lowered their heads and hugged their children tighter.

"Have you ever seen my Chinese Americans eat flesh and blood?" Chang Kun saw that the atmosphere at the scene was a little bad, his eyes widened, and he walked in front of several Chinese parents with square steps.

"But these are barbarian red-haired ......," a Chinese parent muttered in a reluctant whisper.

"Do you hear them speak the beautiful Mandarin they say? Can you see the simplified characters of the Tang and Song dynasties written by them? Have you ever seen the inscription on the big stone in this school: 'Diligence, sincerity and filial piety, prosperity of thousands of families; Wisdom, courage and loyalty, a strong country. 'The school motto? Tang Zhiling on the Smoke Pavilion. There is still the eldest grandson Wuji after the Xianbei Tuoba clan, and now I am in the United States Chengsheng Tang Dynasty before the Song Dynasty Huaxia Zhengshuo, Bingli and heavy teaching, and Lang Chinese Studies, will it be the way for Ru Mao to drink blood? ”

Chang Kun grinned and pointed to a large rock on the lawn inside the school. His voice was raised a lot, and he habitually clasped his fists with both hands and saluted in the direction of the Congress behind him: "My China and the United States are following the unification of the Qin Emperor, with the same text, the same language, and the same track." The people of the republic. No matter where the people come from, if they enter China, they will be Chinese, and the sea will be inclusive, and the people will eventually become one! The words of Confucianism and Huayi have sharply increased their laughter! ”

"Hehe, what Mr. taught is ......" Several Chinese parents saw that this official was so majestic, and they didn't care how much they understood, they quickly nodded one by one, and apologized to several European teachers.

"Yuan'er, be diligent when you enter school, respect your teachers and classmates, and when you come home from school today, your father will naturally take a good test for you."

Seeing that he was shocked by a meal of nonsense, Chang Kun hugged his little daughter to his side very complacently, looked like a loving father, and said, and personally opened the sugar paper in his little daughter's hand and stuffed the rock candy into the other party's mouth.

The youngest daughter has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and has a good face, if she can learn something, and her wife and concubine pass on the female red needlework, she will definitely be the best "export" of the Chang family in the future!

The youngest daughter was finally brought into the school gate by the teacher, and with all kinds of strange thoughts, Chang Kun and his wife, whose eyes were inexplicably red, walked back. When he turned around, he also secretly glanced at a corner near the school gate.

He had already discovered the figure of Qi Yu, Minister of Health and Education, and Li Lin, Minister of Women and Children, and his domineering speech just now should not be bad, right?

"The person Yan Xiaosong found is really good, everything can make him say things round. Saying that he has no discipline, I think it's very good! I can't rest assured that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty can not be assured, but such talents must be introduced more! ”

Qi Yu watched the freshmen reluctantly leave their parents and walk into the school gate under the leadership of the teacher, and couldn't help nodding frequently at the back of Chang Kun who was far away.

"Sister Qi, do you think he is from the bottom of his heart? He had already seen us, and he had told us all about it! ”

Li Lin observed more carefully, and when she saw Qi Yu's serious expression, she sneered and laughed.

From national hukou status, to social welfare, to employment training, to enterprise work treatment, the country's ethnic tilt policy that has faintly existed in the past two years has become more and more so that ordinary citizens feel some clues. Even though in most cases the living standards of Chinese and European citizens are roughly the same, and they get along well on the surface, the messages from the children's mouths really express some of the views of Chinese parents on the country and the direction of their children's national cognitive education.

This Huamei is indeed too different from the Ming Dynasty, although there are more strict laws and regulations, but in essence life is very loose and free, and a large number of customs and habits contrary to the Ming Dynasty are even more incomprehensible to the immigrants of the Ming Dynasty. With a flexible brain, it is natural to think that this was the case in the former Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago. Those who are a little more stubborn think that this is a mixed Huayi and is contrary to the Chinese ancestral system. Although I dare not say it explicitly, at home, to my family, and to my children, these thoughts are not less.

Formal national basic education has only just entered its second year, and the illiteracy rate of Chinese immigrants is not necessarily lower than that of European immigrants, and the majority of teachers in national primary schools that can be trained at present are of European descent, which inevitably makes Chinese citizens express concern.

When it comes to the Ming scholars, almost every member of Congress shakes their heads as if they have seen a plague, but it is much more difficult to really train qualified native Chinese teachers and accept a certain special national cultural education concept, which is a bit more difficult than those European teachers who can only read from the textbook.

Last year, when the textbooks were reviewed, there was a controversy in Congress, and extreme views of total Orientalization or total Westernization were still emerging, and the quotation of scriptures and classics was full of cynicism. The endless flow of thoughts that even most of the 21st century travelers themselves can't bear makes people break out in a cold sweat.

According to the Minister of Health and Education, the ultimate direction of civilization, whether in the East or the West, is still modernization. First of all, it must be beneficial to the current basic education of the people, and the main direction is to guide the establishment of a modern national outlook on life with as much preconceived ideas as possible. The direction of the educational inheritance of national culture is mainly based on the more concrete characteristics of oriental civilization, and after the children have grown up to a certain extent, students can choose the content with educational value in the Eastern and Western civilizations independently in the form of subject electives.

In the current primary school textbooks, the modern content that is neither Chinese nor Western accounts for the vast majority, and the specific characteristics of Eastern and Western civilizations are used to make students interested in the way of interesting cultural knowledge.

At least in this 17th century, the strong influence of oriental culture in the world is still unshakable, and oriental civilization still holds the right to speak on the development of world civilization.

So, in a caustic speech at the National Assembly, "China before the 17th century was not afraid of integrating and interacting with Western culture, so what are we afraid of?" Our goal is to let the oriental civilization preemptively enter the process of world civilization modernization and occupy the biggest cake in modern civilization! If at this time we are still inferior, still engaged in self-containedness, and are afraid that the Eastern civilization will decline, then we should not do anything now, and wait for death! ”

Well, since this little woman was disgusted by the Congress once, her teeth and mouth were completely sharpened, and she was sneering and sneering, so that several Wenqing parliamentarians couldn't find a rebuttal. RS
