Jingwen then looked at the books around him, and he decided to pass them on so that those tool books could better serve the people. ∝⊥ after all, these books are very important, and it would be a pity if they were broken. Later generations Jingwen also knew that in fact, many ancient Chinese technologies were actually studied by China long ago when they were later studied by the West. It's just that the inheritance has been cut off for some reason, so that everyone can't be saved. Although Jingwen didn't dare to say how noble it was, it should still be possible to preserve those ancient technical books.

"Husband, in that case, I have something I want you to see." Cheng Lin said.

"What's the matter?" Jingwen asked.

Cheng Lin took a book, then handed it to Jingwen, and said, "This is given to us by a Hu merchant from the Western Regions, and he hopes that we can publish these books. They said that this was written by a Western book called the Greek country, and the author was called Ya or something. We weren't going to publish it, but since you're here, I'd like to take a look! ”

"Why aren't the books of the Western Regions published?" Jingwen asked.

"What good books can Hu people have? It's all a bunch of barbarians! Cheng Lin said disdainfully.

However, Jing Wen immediately said sternly: "Westerners are not necessarily barbarians, our Chinese civilization is just one of the four major sources of civilization in the world, so we should not discriminate against them." ”

"The world's four major sources of civilization?" Cheng Lin had obviously not heard of this statement.

"The four major sources of civilization in the world are actually two in the East and the West. In the West, there is ancient Babylon, and there is also ancient Greece. And the eastern one is our Huaxia, and there is another Indian Tianzhu. If we want to talk about the time when the unified government was established, ancient Greece and ancient Babylon were earlier than us. Ancient Greece and the unified dynasty of ancient Babylon actually preceded our Xia Dynasty. In other words, we were already in the early days of the Yan and Huang Emperors, and they already had the same generation of dynasties. You say, who had their own cultural crown earlier? Jing Wen asked instead.

This is not a question that can be dismissed. China, the world's four major ancient civilizations, actually ranks third in terms of civilization. Ancient Babylon and ancient Greece had already formed civilizations as early as the fourth millennium BC, while China was in the third millennium BC, so it was a thousand years late. It's not that Jingwen looks down on his country, but in fact, that's exactly what happened.

"So, do you think they can be absolute barbarians?" Jingwen asked.

"Well, this!" Cheng Lin couldn't say anything.

After all, if according to this statement, during the period of the Yan and Huang Emperors, they already had their own unified country, which was obviously ahead of China, and Cheng Lin certainly couldn't refute it.

"And what happened to them?" Cheng Lin asked.

"Ancient Greece and ancient Babylon have long since been extinct. And that Tianzhu, now divided, has never been unified again. As for China, we have never been extinct. Jingwen said.

"Extermination? What is the meaning? Cheng Lin asked.

Jingwen continued: "The death of the country and the extinction of the species are two different words, and the death of the country is at most a change of dynasty, that is to say, from the Sui Dynasty to the current Tang Dynasty, that is, the Sui Dynasty is the death of the country. However, the extinction means that the civilization is destroyed, and the written language and all kinds of books are extinguished, and finally disappear completely. There is no one who claims to be a member of their own people, that is, the extinction. Therefore, the extinction of the species is more terrible than the destruction of the country. ”

Cheng Lin also admitted this, after all, breaking the inheritance of civilization is actually more terrible than losing the country. Everyone can easily accept that the Sui Dynasty became the Tang Dynasty. Even if it was acceptable, the Tang Dynasty also perished and became another dynasty. However, it is almost difficult for everyone to accept that civilization is cut off, unless all of them kill Huaxia, otherwise Huaxia will not be cut off at all.

The Chinese civilization has also experienced several complete collapses. The closest is the era of Wuhu Chaohua. But at that time, they still survived, but the Hu people were assimilated a lot, and even the Northern Wei Dynasty was sinicized as a whole. At that time, although the Hu people were known to be powerful. But in the end, it was sinicized behind it.。 However, this price is caused by the blood and tears of the Han people, and it is not worth advocating. Later, when the Mongols came, and when the Manchus ruled, in fact, some of the Mongols were also sinicized, and they all ruled according to the methods of Han civilization. The Manchus, on the other hand, simply forgot about the Manchu language, and spoke Chinese most of the time. So the Manchu Qing Dynasty was actually sinicized, but the price was also the blood and tears of the Han people.

However, although the country has died, at least the cultural heritage has been preserved. According to Western standards, as long as the culture is not broken, there is still hope for the restoration of the country. So at that time, I saw an article in the later Jingwen, which was the last lesson in the primary school textbook. It mentions preserving your own language as much as possible, so that you can be considered to preserve the hope of the country. This is also the so-called civilization, even if the country is destroyed, as long as the civilization is not lost, it can still be restored. Just like the later Ming Dynasty, and the Han people returned to the country again during the Republic of China.

"Although Greece and Babylon perished, they still have many texts, which are the treasures of their civilization. Since their civilization was formed a thousand years earlier than ours, and we were able to produce such a splendid civilization, why do you think they are a bunch of barbarians? Jingwen asked.

"Then if they are powerful, they are not destroyed?" Cheng Lin asked.

"There are many reasons for the demise of a country, and it is not necessarily the backwardness of civilization. And even if they are barbarians, why do you think they don't have something we can learn? Back then, Confucius also said that there must be my teacher in the threesome. What's more, they are all no less civilized than ours, and we can learn what can be harmful. If we keep working here behind closed doors, then how can our civilization develop? Jingwen asked rhetorically.

"You go and ask those editors to get those foreign books out, and if you can translate them, you will try to translate them, and if you can't translate them yourself, then you will ask Hu Ren to translate them. In short, we can also take the method of publicizing these foreign books. We pay for it and sell it. Our Chinese civilization is also a place that embraces all rivers, and if we stubbornly think that we can do well, we can only rest on our laurels in the end, and then gradually die out.
