Under Qin Yu's connivance, the struggle between the old and new factions has developed to the point where intellectuals can be discussed everywhere, and the people who can't figure it out also watch the intellectuals' arguments after tea and dinner to gain knowledge.

Even the Huaxia Daily, renamed Imperial Daily, began to publish a large number of rational articles on Western Chinese culture by government officials, including articles by high-ranking officials, and the newspaper was robbed by people of both the old and new factions, who were eager to speculate on the government's position from the articles of these officials.

Government officials advocate that we should not be able to extract the essence from the rough, whether it is our own culture or Western culture, and then promote or absorb it, among which the Chinese culture will be the main body of the empire. He also said that without his own culture, he is a soulless shell with no vitality and motivation, but during the period, he must continue to absorb foreign advanced culture suitable for himself, so that there will be progress.

Although some officials expressed support for the old school or the new school, a large number of government officials did not speak, and the officials who published articles saying that the officials who combined China and the West were basically direct subordinates of the prime minister or senior officials of the Baath Party in the government.

The articles of these high-ranking government officials also gave the people a general understanding of the government's intentions, and there were also a large number of people who supported the government's views, only a small number of people advocated the abolition of Confucianism and various customs and replaced Western culture and etiquette, and some of the old school people supported Confucianism and Confucius, and they believed that Confucianism was orthodox.

Most of the people of the old and new factions immediately screened the trade-offs of Western China culture according to the guidance of the government, and they had a deeper understanding of the two cultures. While paying attention to their own Western thoughts, the people of the new school are constantly studying Chinese culture and thought, and only in this way can they make better choices, while the old school is conducting in-depth research on Western ideology and culture, and they must strictly control the flow of bad Western culture.

"You see that this human being is a monkey evolution doesn't work at all, our ancestors are gods, how can it be a monkey?"

"We are the descendants of the dragon, the dragon is supreme, you see they treat the dragon as an evil demon, isn't this insulting to us, I can't ask for this."

"It's all useless things that keep repeating, it's just a waste of time and energy, and it's very pedantic. Looking at the great powers of Europe and the United States, they are like our Xiucai who read the Four Books and the Five Classics at home all day long, and their industry and economy are all based on science, that is, the industry and commerce in what you call the peasants and merchants, but you compare them to the lowest occupations. ”

"The education of the great powers is also more advanced and enlightened than you and ours, and they don't want you to bring them into the coffin like this, and they don't want to pass on their talents to future generations, and they still leave a hand everywhere, and the country will be defeated in the hands of your group of pedantic people. For the rise of the empire, we must break the view of the portal, break the view of hierarchy, and only in this way can we pass on and develop our good things. ”

"How can my 5,000-year-old great country be worse than the culture of the West, and our ideas and culture, as long as they are used properly, can also allow the empire to rise. These people who have returned from studying abroad must have been tempted by the European and American powers, only in this way will they give up their original cultural ideas in just a few years, and now it is conceivable that the corrosive ability of Western culture is very strong, and we must try not to let bad culture flow into the empire, which will endanger the interests of the empire. ”

Chen Fu and others also held several large meetings during this period, and Chen Fu, who understood Qin Yu's meaning, immediately directly stated his neutral position in front of all high-level officials, advocating the integration of China and Western China, and establishing the dominant position and main body of Chinese cultural thought. Chen Fu's opinion is also very in line with the affairs of most officials, and most of them agree with it, and only those who have less duty are still insisting on their own opinions.

There are great differences in Western Chinese culture, the Chinese are collectivist, while the West is individualism, and the two sides have different differences in various aspects, whether it is religious beliefs, eating habits, education methods or ways of thinking, etc., so it is difficult for the two sides to absorb each other's culture, and it is even more unfeasible to force implantation, but they can effectively complement each other.

Soon the dispute between the old and the new faction slowly began to slow down, because they had reached a consensus on many aspects, and only a few were still arguing. The old school decided to abandon the thousand-year-old way of learning, and no longer always delved into the Four Books and the Five Classics, and a large number of foreign useful books were recommended by them to be viewed, and they also recognized the status of industry and commerce; A series of bad old customs have also been abandoned by the old school, and they no longer target students who have returned from studying abroad, etc.

The new school agreed to retain useful Confucian ideas, such as the customs of courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom, faithfulness, and filial piety, and a large number of excellent Confucian books were also corrected, so as not to mislead the people's thinking; In addition to the first time, they also decided to vigorously advocate the development of Chinese painting or combine it with Western painting methods, as well as develop the unique Chinese novel culture.

Just when the two parties had slowly reached a consensus, Qin Yu began to have a headache again, and he had a headache about the national clothing and Chinese.

In terms of clothing, he wanted to use the Hanfu of the Tang Dynasty to make the clothing of officials on formal occasions, such as meeting foreign leaders, diplomatic missions to other countries, etc., to wear Hanfu, as for the people, he advocated the use of pseudo-Tang costumes, that is, the Manchu costumes improved by Western-style tailoring methods, which are characterized by "Tang costumes" with standing collars, buckles, and plackets.

He is still thinking about what language to use as the Chinese language, because now each province has its own dialect, and even some places are the languages of ethnic minorities, which will lead to the rapid issuance of government decrees and the popularization of government policies.

Qin Yu is more accustomed to the Mandarin of later generations, but now more than 70% of the high-level officials use the dialect of Qin Yu's hometown, and these officials are all using the dialect now, and it is impossible to learn the official dialect of Beijing for a while, so Qin Yu is very entangled in this.

There is also a consideration about simplified and traditional characters, both fonts have their own roles, simplified characters are simple and easy to remember, which is very good for the nation's literacy, and the effect is fast, because the vast majority of farmers are not very literate, so it is easy to teach this. As for the traditional Chinese characters, they are the fonts that have been used in China for a long time, which have unusual meanings and cultural heritage, and are the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese people for thousands of years. Although traditional Chinese characters are very complicated and difficult to learn, Qin Yu is also very familiar with traditional Chinese characters now, and he basically can't use simplified Chinese characters in his previous life.

In his previous life, Qin Yu knew that only a few places in China, such as Taiwan and Hong Kong, were using traditional characters, and the inland was using simplified characters soon after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and traditional characters themselves were part of Chinese civilization, so he did not use simplified characters. Qin Yu also used traditional Chinese characters in the previous literacy campaign, although the effect was slow, but he could afford to wait, after all, this could not be changed in a moment.

In order to enable the people of the empire to learn Chinese characters better, Qin Yu got the pinyin of his previous life, and he asked the education department to popularize pinyin to primary and secondary schools across the country, and pinyin became a compulsory course.

Qin Yu originally wanted to be able to have a universal suffrage in the Chinese language, but after seeing that the government officials and most of the central parliamentarians were from East China, he gave up, because in this way, the universal suffrage would undoubtedly be the language of East China, so he simply decided to use Beijing's official dialect as the Chinese language.

"Your Majesty, why use the language of Beijing to make Chinese, isn't it very good for us in East China? Most of the government officials can understand it, and in the future, the whole country will speak our language. When Qin Yu handed Chen Fu the text about using Beijing's Mandarin as the Chinese language, Chen Fu asked in disbelief.

Qin Yu shook his head and said: "Mandarin in Beijing is the official language of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and now Beijing dialect is the most widely circulated language in the empire, and using it to do it can also avoid indifferent disputes, I think Beijing dialect is very good." What's more, now our imperial capital is Beijing, and of course the Beijing dialect spoken by Beijingers will cause turmoil if they are forced to change their language.

Nowadays, there are so many dialects in the country that a common language is needed to communicate as a Chinese, so that there will be no regional differences, and of course the empire will not force the abolition of their local languages, but government officials must use Chinese, and teachers and students must also use Chinese during class, as for the words after class, they are casual. ”

After hearing this, Chen Fu also felt very reasonable, and he was still a little unhappy about not using the dialect of their hometown to make Chinese, but Qin Yu's order had already been issued and he was helpless.

The next day, the Chinese Imperial Government officially announced the use of Mandarin in Beijing as the Chinese of the Empire, the Empire will implement Chinese throughout the country, government officials must use Chinese during office hours, teachers and students must also use Chinese during class time, Mandarin is the official language of the Empire, the Empire does not ban or restrict the development of local languages, and all ethnic minorities can also use their own languages, but they must use Chinese during class time.

At the same time, it was also announced that Hanfu would be used as a costume for imperial officials to bring foreign guests and foreign envoys, and the empire proposed that the subjects of the empire usually wear new Tang costumes.

The Chinese language is Beijing's Mandarin, and the happy people of Beijing and the north are naturally very excited about this, and what they say will be implemented throughout the country, and they can hear their own language wherever they go in the future. Although the people of the southern provinces have opinions but do not have much reaction, although their own language can not be the Chinese language, but after learning the Chinese language, they can communicate with the people of the provinces to their heart's content, and there will be no language barrier in the future.

Mandarin in Beijing was one of the official languages of the Qing Dynasty, which had been popular since the Ming Dynasty, and now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had perished, it was time for other languages to replace the Manchu language. The establishment of the Chinese language can accelerate the communication between the provinces, which can promote the wide integration of the whole country, and is conducive to the unity and centripetal force of the people of the empire.
