As we all know, city walls, castles, etc., as wartime fortifications, are products of the era of cold weapons, and are effective barriers to protect the residents of one side to live and work in peace and contentment under the conditions of an agrarian society.

With the passage of time, the advancement of weapons, and the continuous escalation of the means of warfare, many ancient cities and ancient walls scattered around the world have been buried in the dust of history and disappeared. However, the Great Wall of China has always stood tall among the mountains, always attracting the attention of the world, and has never been withdrawn from people's attention because of its actual defensive effect.

Especially in the turmoil of the past thousands of years, whether it is humiliation or glory, it is admired or doubted, and it is confronted with slander or appreciation...... It stands still.

"Didn't you say go to the realm of Lingxuan?" When he came here, Qin Ji couldn't help but mutter. "How did you get to the foot of the Great Wall?"

"Shh Xia Zhao made a silent gesture towards him. "You've rarely been to the capital lately, and you haven't seen those high-level abilities that can directly cut through the void and reach anywhere in the world. So, talk less nonsense!"

"You've seen it!" Xia Hou also followed up and asked.

"Uh-huh!" Xia Zhao nodded straightly. "I've seen Ning Xiao and the Pope use this skill to go directly to the world to circle zombies, and I'm really envious!"

At this time, Qin Ji and the others looked at each other and said no more.

In fact, their Great Wall complex is innate in the education they received since childhood. In many days, there was not, and there is no need to seriously think about the "excessive" why. Since the beginning of China's prosperity, people's horizons have been broadened and information has been extensive.

However, in the face of some sudden voices, the Chinese people once hesitated: the enterprising nature of the grassland civilization and the maritime civilization lies in its openness and expansion, while their ancestors only knew how to build city walls and stay in a corner, but they could not protect themselves. So, is the Great Wall also the appearance of being conservative, backward and self-enclosed in that kind of character?

Through the ups and downs, coupled with a more open cultural horizon, people quickly realized that facing the long river of human history seems to be not so simple.

In the childhood of human history, no matter what nationality, it all started from hunting. The first epoch-making social division of labor was the division of labor between agriculture and animal husbandry, and the birth of agricultural civilization should be the same as the later industrial civilization conceived and developed in the matrix of agricultural civilization, and it was the establishment of relatively advanced production relations.

People yearn for a stable life, a stable harvest, and also yearn for a more detailed expression of the thoughts and spirits that arise from it, and a higher level of pleasure and relaxation in the soul and emotion.

As early as the era of ancient wars in China that lasted for thousands of years, the contradictions, contentions and integration between the Chinese people living in the Yellow River valley and taking the lead in agricultural civilization and the surrounding nomadic peoples were inevitable.

In the absence of external coordination, it is undoubtedly the best way to temporarily disengage in conflict areas, maintain our own security, and protect economic and social development. The first emperor of China built the Great Wall, which is still famous all over the world, integrating honor and disgrace, and is really beautiful.

However, this is not his patent (he is just a reconstruction on the basis of the Great Wall of Yan, Zhao, Wei and other "neighboring countries" at that time), and it is far from the end of such projects (not to mention that what people see today are the works of the later Ming Dynasty, that is, the "separation wall" built by some so-called developed countries, isn't it also the same kind of thing?).

From this, it is not difficult to find that from ancient times to the present, the builders of the "separation wall" do not care about "conservative" and cowardly, but are all economically developed, attach importance to life, and are relatively people-oriented.

The Great Wall is not a small courtyard wall of a family, nor is it the castle of a principality on a hilltop, it mobilizes almost the entire nation's thousands of troops and horses, marks the highest level of science and technology in contemporary times, guards the world's most advanced production methods and economic achievements at that time, and is the northern barrier for the safety of life and property of residents in the Central Plains.

For a long period of time, the Great Wall has played a huge role in the social progress and economic development of the Central Plains of China.

Looking at the world, ancient Egypt on the banks of the Nile and the ancient sun on the banks of the Ganges are three and two

The ancient Babylon civilization in the river basin and the Chinese civilization in the Central Plains of the Yellow River basin are known as the four ancient civilizations in history, and their highly developed splendid ancient cultures have been mutually impressed. They all had magnificent palaces, temples, royal tombs, well-developed city construction, and vast farmland, however, except for the Chinese people, the other three have long been interrupted and sunk.

Why are those civilizations so difficult to sustain? Many people believe that one of the important reasons for this is because they do not have the Great Wall. It is the Great Wall that condenses people's spirit, strength and will, it is the Great Wall that protects people's creative wisdom in development and production, and it is the Great Wall that tells all people that the survival of the nation depends on the land under their feet and the spirit of struggle and sacrifice that grows on this land.

Song Dai had a deep affection for the Great Wall. Therefore, he was facing the Great Wall, talking with Yan Nu, and he was getting more and more excited. Yan Nu didn't interrupt him, and listened with great interest.

Seeing that their pair was sprinkling dog food, Qin Ji and the others didn't dare to come forward to disturb, so they could only wait patiently for the opportunity to see if they could take advantage of their loopholes.

Only with the Great Wall can there be historical records, only the Dream of Red Mansions, only the Art of War, the Compendium of Materia Medica, the Four Great Inventions, the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty poems and songs, and the Confucian culture will be passed down in one line...... Only then can there be a foundation for the Chinese nation to successfully achieve great integration again and again. There are no rules, there are no rules.

Despite the end times, it is known that stable borders are a necessary condition for social harmony. In fact, in the development of Chinese society throughout the ages, there has hardly been a case of a city wall that has really cut off the economic and cultural exchanges in the surrounding areas.

There are gates on the city walls, which ensure the orderly exchange of internal and external economy and culture; The areas under their respective jurisdiction have been clarified, providing reasonable conditions for "diplomatic negotiations" again and again; The repair of the border wall in successive dynasties has also repeatedly demonstrated the sense of responsibility of the management within the system at that time to the area under its jurisdiction and the people; It also condenses the sacrifices made by countless people for the overall interests of their national society, and expresses a common voice: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone." If anyone sins against me, I will sin against me. ”

As a result, many frictions and large-scale wars that inevitably arise between different ethnic regions due to differences in production and lifestyles have been avoided time and again.

The ancestors of China admired the social conditions of "the rule of Wenjing", "the rule of Zhenguan", and "the prosperous era of Kangqian", such as "the rule of Wenjing", "the rule of Zhenguan", and "the prosperous era of Kangqian", and lived and worked in peace and contentment, and friendly exchanges with the surrounding areas, and rejected the repression of power that was reckless and wanton expansion by force, no matter how developed and rich their country was.

One of the most prominent examples is the eloquent Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the main reason why people still have mixed reviews is that during his decades of reign, he used his national strength to launch a war against the Xiongnu. Although in his later years, he had a deep understanding and used the practical action of "the crime has been proven" to conduct a public review of the abuse of people's power, and once again established the important national policy of taking the development of production as the first priority.

In the thousands of years since then, no dynasty has gone further than him militarily, because the war concept and war goal of the Chinese ancestors for generations are not to rob and plunder, but to "protect the family and defend the country", in order not to be enslaved, in order to maintain dignity, and for their own stable production and life.

Just when Song Dai stopped at this point, and Yan Nu thoughtfully handed him a glass of water, Weng Mi took the opportunity to interject: "Yan Nu, we have been waiting here for a long time, shouldn't we ......?"

"No way!" Yan Nu shook her head and vetoed. "There's one more person who hasn't arrived! Without him, I wouldn't have been able to activate the Void Gate!"

"Who?" Qin Ji immediately asked. "We're waiting for him alone, he's embarrassed?"

"He's the boss!" Song Dai glared at him fiercely and returned the water cup to Yan Nu. "Why don't you urge him to try?"

"Oh!" Qin Ji immediately died down, and only let Song Dai continue to sprinkle dog food with Yan Nu.

Of course, Genghis Khan, who "only knows how to bend the bow and shoot eagles", is an exception. At one point, he swept across the White Asian Continent. But his grandson, Kublai Khan, who had fully embraced Chinese culture, was already "a true Chinese emperor," and the Yuan dynasty, which ruled for nearly 200 years and adhered to the traditions of the Chinese nation, did not fall apart as quickly as the short-lived Mongol empires in other regions.

In this sense, in the course of thousands of years of history, the Chinese nation has been relatively stable and lucky. It is precisely because of the Great Wall and the ideology condensed by the Great Wall that the ancestors of China experienced large-scale wars and large-scale plagues were much less likely than those in other regions.

Not to mention why several other ancient civilizations have disappeared, just look at today, under the condition that natural resources are not abundant, the population of China can reach one-fifth of the world, which is a clear proof that the Chinese ancestors have advocated peace and development in this land for thousands of years, is the result of 5,000 years of reproduction, and is the external embodiment of the resistance to aggression, the avoidance of war, and the maintenance of social harmony in all dynasties.

"You say," Seeing Song Dai blowing the sea with Yan Nu, Fang Hou couldn't help but touch Tian Yan with his elbow. "Before we are reincarnated, will we also have a wife like Yan Nu? Will she, like Yan Nu, also come to us after reincarnation? ”

"Extremely unlikely!" Tian Yan had to tell him kindly. "I heard that there was only one envoy before the king—and that was her. As for Ning Xiao, you also know that he is a god general. So, I still advise you to stop daydreaming. ”

"When is the boss coming?" The room was a little helpless. "I really want to go up and seal Song Shao's mouth, it's noisy!"

"If you can beat the Yan Girl, you can give it a try!" Tian Yan also felt the same way, and reminded him helplessly. "As far as I know, the ability level that can cut through time and space must be at least level 20 or above. You know, you haven't even broken through to level 10 now. ”

"Alas!" Fang Hou could only look up to the sky and sigh, and could only hope that God could take Song Dai's words away.

The Chinese people have their own unique history and culture, and their traditions and customs were once a self-sufficient system. However, when a solid system is broken, so is such a tradition. In particular, the battle for hegemony in the world and the resulting international political and economic order have once again distorted the values of the Chinese people. As a result, until the prosperous era, the Chinese people have always regarded the material civilization of the West as their idol, ruthlessly criticizing their own traditions and their ancestors, believing that they are ignorant and backward, so that the Chinese people have long lacked the review and awe of their own history.

As a result, the Great Wall of China was also affected. As a result, in the minds of some people, it has also become a symbol of less brilliance.

However, it must be noted that the ancestors of China once longed for a natural and free life where "the voice of chickens and dogs heard each other", longed for a peach blossom paradise without war and suffering, and longed for a well-off life full of health and happiness in the style of "I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together".

Is there something wrong with such a dream? After going through the tribulations of the last days, does it show its value even more? Needless to say, the character of most Chinese people immersed in their bones is to seek stability and avoid chaos, to seek good and avoid evil, and to seek common ground while reserving differences. Psychologically, they are disgusted with the "rules of the jungle", and it is difficult to agree with the fierce competition of brutal elimination, and they are more willing to accept the "equality rules" of stability and stability.

In fact, in the Chinese ideological system, what has been handed down since ancient times is the institutional ethics of "family co-prosperity" and "family and country isomorphism". The Chinese people are able to perfectly fit politics and morality, showing that the state and society are not contradictory existences, but symbiosis and common prosperity, and have always pursued a harmonious realm of "all things are cultivated and not harmed, and the Tao is parallel but not contradictory".

These values are the precious cultural heritage left by the ancestors of China, which the Chinese people once understood in the past, but now they are somewhat vague. Especially in those times and occasions when "might" and "right" were reversed.

However, today, the world is once again standing at a new starting point of development, which once again provides a good opportunity for Chinese people to re-examine themselves. Let the Chinese people never be so clearly aware of the "wu wei" in Taoist culture, the "mean" in Confucian culture, and the "meditation" in Buddhist culture...... They are all full of rich ideas and wisdom of harmony.

You must know that in the past thousands of years, these harmonious concepts and wisdom have been integrated into the home, tableware, and diet of Chinese people...... It has penetrated into subtle etiquette and deepened into calligraphy and painting, drama, poetry and other arts. Let people feel pleasing to the eyes when they see this, and feel pleasing to the ears when they hear this, and live and work in this environment, and the soul will find a sense of belonging.

"Hey, hey!" Weng Mi, who finally heard the fame, couldn't help but reach out and touch Xia Zhao. "How do I feel that Song Dai is expounding a concept! However, can the little girl understand what he said? ”

"Don't be a little girl," Xia Zhao also responded quickly. "People are hundreds of times older than you and me combined. However, I can also hear what Song Dai seems to be conveying, but it is difficult to explain it to us. Hey, what's so hard to say? I'm going to tell us that way. ”

"But I don't sound like you," the waiter disagreed. "I feel like Song Dai is reluctant to do anything?"

As soon as these words came out, the others immediately stopped talking. They looked at each other, and then they fell silent.

It is precisely in this way that constitutes the Great Wall in the hearts of the Chinese people, moving forward in self-restraint, growing up in the inclusiveness of all things, we speak of integrity in front of the invaders, and unite in front of the robbers...... The Great Wall complex has long been integrated into the blood of the Chinese nation.

The founding ancestor once said: "Our nation has the courage to fight its enemies to the end, the determination to restore the old things on the basis of self-reliance, and the ability to stand on its own feet in the world." ”

This sentence expresses the spirit of the Great Wall, and it is also the ideal of countless Chinese people for thousands of years. What Huaxia needs is to stand on the big stage of the world with the image of an independent person, respect each other with other regions and nationalities, interact with each other on an equal footing, standardize competition, and jointly promote human society towards a better tomorrow.

The Great Wall of China is forever reminding that the development of any period is to let the people of this land achieve inner satisfaction, happiness and security; The purpose of development in any period is only human beings themselves, and human beings cannot be merely the means of development.

"Bang, bang!" When Song Dai said this, a burst of applause suddenly rang out.

So, all the eyes were on the applauding people.

"Boss, you've finally appeared!"

"Boss, you're here, great!"

"Boss, you want to kill me!"
