Chapter 661: Talking About Tokushima City and Other Aspects (3)

"Although I am relatively familiar with some things during the Meiji Restoration and the Curtain War...... "After listening to Feng Longde explain the starting reasons for the Meiji Restoration in Japan and the process in one breath, Hatsune Miku rubbed the temples on both sides of her little head with her white and tender hands, and digested what Feng Longde said in less than half a minute before continuing: "Then Uncle Feng, what is the history of the late Qing Dynasty in China?" I don't know much about the history of this time, but I do know that aspects of traditional Japanese culture are almost entirely derived from Chinese culture...... Other than that, it seems that I only know, know how to resist ......"

"The Sino-Japanese War, during the Second World War. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info "Hatsune Miku stammered and couldn't say the full name out of concern for Feng Longde's emotions of being a Chinese German, but Feng Longde obviously didn't care about this aspect of things, and directly said it for her lightly, and shrugged his shoulders:" In fact, the wars between these nations are just like that, and what so-called national sentiments will be involved in the current decades or 1200 years, and if they are hundreds or thousands of years or even thousands of years, they will have become a simple historical event recorded in historical classics...... Although there is a high national sentiment can not be said to be a bad thing, but it is also clear what is what and look at the problem fairly and rationally, otherwise there is an essential difference between me and a fool, I am just an ordinary Chinese German youth when I have experienced these bad things, one by one is either a keyboard warrior on the Internet or a real disturbance criminal, I really have the ability to buy a plane ticket to go to the Yasukuni Shrine for a fireworks explosion....... To put it mildly, they all add up to the Chinese who 'occupied' the Yasukuni Shrine in "PokemonGO", not to mention even named the full-level fire dragon pet they guarded 'Long Live Huaxia' - although this kind of behavior is not worth advocating, but at least people dare to take action, and those guys are majestic with their compatriots on the Internet, and they really meet foreigners in real life, and they are the first ones to fart or fart. ā€

"Uh...... Uncle Feng, you seem to have a good understanding of your Chinese natives, or the vast majority of them...... Well, what's it called?'" Hatsune Miku said word by word with a frown after Feng Longde said this with a slight mockery, and she was trying to say the word "angry youth" in Chinese.

"The pronunciation is pretty standard, but I'm more used to calling them 'angry qing' – although the pronunciation is pretty much the same in Chinese and other languages, the meaning is a little different. Feng Longde snorted and replied, he snorted not to Hatsune Miku, the onion-haired singer, but to subconsciously express his mockery to those Chinese Americans with brain diseases- For Chinese Americans, Feng Longde has always been quite fair and rational to get along with each other, among them, like Zhu Henghong, although a bit of a mess of boring ideas, but still know what to do when and what to do, and there is no boring ultra-nationalist spirit of Chinese is the type that really deserves respect and can be treated equally, that is, those who God knows if their parents raised the placenta by mistake will not be treated by Feng Longde.

ā€œ...... Well, Uncle Feng, that's the pronunciation. Shaking his little head helplessly, Hatsune Miku, who had heard Yakumo Zi talk about some of Feng Longde's situation, also knew that Feng Longde seemed to have encountered many things that ordinary people would not experience because of his original Huaxia German identity, so there was this kind of negative emotions for the guys he despised, and this negative tendency also seemed to only occasionally show up in front of people who were closer or identified, "uh...... Uncle Feng, we should be discussing the reform of the Wuxu Reform and the Meiji Restoration carried out in China and Japan at the same time, Uncle Feng...... Off topic......"

"Off topic? uh...... Well, I'm really off topic......" Feng Longde was stunned for a moment by Hatsune Miku's reminder, but soon realized that he had interfered with his speech due to the negative emotions that had emerged, and then he was silent for a while and considered his words before continuing: "Anyone with a little common sense of modern history knows that since the First Opium War in 1840, China has been reduced to a semi-feudal and semi-colonial country step by step...... After the First Sino-Japanese War, that is, before the Wuxu Reform, the late Qing government was completely discredited after the defeat and the national sovereignty was damaged...... Against this backdrop, the bankruptcy of a large number of peasants and craftsmen, coupled with the revolution of Sun Yat-sen, brought the entire social system to the brink of disintegration. ā€

"If so...... Uncle Feng, I remember that the biggest difference between the late Qing Dynasty and Japan should be that the former is a big country and the latter is a small country......, right? Is there an element of whether the European and American powers will interfere?" Hatsune Miku asked curiously after thinking about it, she also knew a little bit about modern history, at least she knew very well that China was a country and nation with a long cultural heritage, and Japan's own culture was influenced too much by its powerful Chinese neighbors.

Feng Longde nodded: "There is indeed a reason for this...... At that time, the countries of Europe and the United States only came to Japan for a walk after dealing with China, and immediately after signing several unequal treaties, they began to be busy with their respective industrial revolutions, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement in China next door was so troublesome that it attracted almost all the attention, so who would pay attention to what Japan, a small country, was doing? The vast territory of China naturally means a vast market and abundant resources, and how big a market can Japan have as an island country, who would leave watermelons aside and pick up sesame seeds? In a sense, China can be regarded as Japan's shield, because of its long history and vast area and the accumulation of so much land and wealth, once you don't think about progress for a long time, you will fall behind, and then you will become the one that is seriously beaten, and it will be used as a commodity sales market and a cheap raw material production area; while Japan is not seriously beaten because of its own small people and few resources, and there is not much room for strategic maneuver, as long as the Japanese government at that time really wanted to defend the country, then the characteristics of Japan's mountainous terrain have become a natural fortressThe complex terrain will make it difficult for the invaders to deploy their forces, and the humid and rainy characteristics of its climate will also make it difficult for the firearms of the European and American powers to exert their full power at that time...... It's fine with coastal naval artillery support, but if this support is lost, the enemies who invade the interior of Japan will be locked in a complete stalemate. Later, when Japan had just completed the reform of the country, the European and American powers did not think of intervening, but the result was still to no avail, that is, taking into account the peculiar mountainous terrain characteristics of Japan, it formed a natural fortress to consolidate the achievements of the Restoration; while China was completely different, even if its own coastline was long, once it landed, it would be an unobstructed plain, and the normal and comfortable weather with mild wind and sun could just give full play to the strength of firearms...... This is not the most fatal place, the most fatal place is that after landing, it will be an important economic area in China, and that will be a terrible thing, and if there is no income, then what kind of war will the government fight? And the European and American powers did not come for the primitive accumulation of capital? This is good, you can grab as much as you want, and it is as easy as playing to intervene in the law and change the law by force...... In terms of the international environment, Japan's Meiji Restoration took place at the end of the sixties of the 19th century, when the world was still in a period of free competition and capitalism, and the upsurge of mutual seizure of colonies had not yet begun on a large scale, and the main target of the invasion of the European and American powers in East Asia was the vast and rich China of China, and the Asian national liberation movement, especially the Chinese Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, contained the forces of the Western powers, all of which provided a relatively favorable international environment for Japan's Meiji Restoration...... In addition, the Japanese reformers themselves also paid great attention to the tactics of diplomatic struggle, and tried their best to take advantage of the contradictions between Britain, France, Britain, Russia, and other European and American powers to achieve their goals at the lowest cost; on the other hand, in China, the beginning of the Wuxu Restoration was already at the end of the 19th century, when world capitalism had already transitioned to the imperialist stage, and the European and American powers had basically carved up the whole world by fighting for colonies, and China had become the struggle of the European and American powers in the East. At this time, the European and American powers did not want China to become an independent and powerful capitalist country, and in terms of the overall international environment, it was quite unfavorable to the Chinese Restoration Movement. ā€

"Hmm...... I feel that a lot of places are very complicated, Uncle Feng, although what you said is quite simple and easy to understand, I still feel that it takes some time to understand......" Hatsune Miku rubbed the temples on both sides of her head, to be honest, she usually takes some time to read history books or look up history on the Internet after practicing vocalization and musical instruments, but it is rare for someone like Feng Longde to describe a history with a unique point of view and relatively fairly, so Hatsune Miku will be very patient and interested in discussing this matter with him, and she really doesn't have this patience if it were someone else, "So are there any important factors besides these factors?" Uncle Feng?"

"And, of course, Hatsune Miku. Feng Longde nodded, to be honest, he personally felt that the biggest difference between the Wuxu Reform in the late Qing Dynasty in China and the Meiji Restoration in Japan lies in this, "This factor is tradition- The traditions of China and Japan, especially in the absorption of foreign cultures, are simply not the same style of painting: Japanese culture is a rather peculiar culture, because their own original culture is almost completely submerged by the foreign culture they absorb and does not leave a trace, but it also contributes to one of the advantages of their culture, that is, they are not ashamed of failure, and take the absorption of foreign culture, especially the culture of strong civilizations, as a matter of course...... If I remember correctly, after the Japanese learned the power of the Tang Dynasty army in the Battle of Baijiangkou, they immediately reconciled with the Tang Dynasty and sent a large number of students or envoys to China to comprehensively study the various political and economic systems, military, science and technology of the Tang Dynasty...... After possessing this peculiar tradition, after Japan was defeated by the European powers in modern times, it sent a large number of students to study in European countries, and used the European political and economic system, military and science and technology to transform their own country, and even copied and digested European customs and habits...... That is to say, no matter what kind of system or whatever, as long as it can make the country rich and strong, it will be absorbed, which is similar to the Tang Dynasty envoys and Sui envoys in those years, and it is also differentiated to absorb the good of them, otherwise the extreme expansion of the emperor's power during the Meiji Emperor period would not be understandable; 'Faithfulness as armor, etiquette as a drying' to resist foreign insults, arrogant to the point of no return...... The list goes on and on, especially if you can't let go of the shelf of the kingdom that day, in fact, this is also very understandable - when someone is defeated one day by someone who has been despising him, it is almost the same as this state, so it is difficult for the reform reform of the late Qing Dynasty in China not to fail, because the content of the reform reform is all learned from the 'foreign Yi', so it ...... Huh. ā€

"Well, it seems...... It's really the same as what you said, Uncle Feng......" Looking at Feng Longde, who began to suck his glass of Pepsi after a long speech, Hatsune Miku nodded her little head, "Although they are all the same type of culture, in terms of specific traditional details, it seems that there are too many differences between China and Japan......"

"So sometimes, it's all the details that make or break the difference. Feng Longde shrugged, "However, these are only the most superficial details and factors, but it is really difficult for the vast majority of people, especially domestic guys, to know or understand these days, and they are often opinions from public textbooks...... Actually, there is another rather important factor. ā€

"Oh, Uncle Feng, what is the factor?" Hatsune Miku asked curiously.

"Ideology, that's where the most important thing is. Feng Longde replied, then took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, "By the way, we have been idle for a long time on historical topics such as reform...... Are you still going to listen to it? Hatsune Miku?"
