Chapter 24: Chinese Civilization
The night was deep and quiet. Shao Xin sat alone on a stone chair in the courtyard, his whole body covered with new bandages, looking at the bright moon in the sky. He sobbed softly, he didn't know if he would affect the two of them because of himself, and he didn't know if the school would convey the news of his "death" to his parents, and he didn't know how his parents would face all this!
"Every festive season, it is most difficult to miss relatives at the full moon. In the quiet night, suddenly a voice sounded, and Shao Xin turned around and saw that the person who came was Master Ying Yan. Shao Xin quickly wiped away the tears on his face, and said in a crying voice: "Master Yingyan, why haven't you slept late?"
"Seeing that there is no one in your room, come out to see where you have been, alas, cry, child! Everyone has their own sorrows, and there is weakness under the strong face, but the angle of resonance is different!" Ying Yan patted Shao Xin on the shoulder and handed over a wine gourd: "Have you ever drunk wine?"
Shao Xin took the wine gourd and poured a big sip, and said: "What is the liver and intestines, only Du Kang wine, haha, thank you for Master Win's teachings!"
"We've been in contact for a long time, and we've been able to experience some of your stories from you. Although you are only in your early 20s, you never cry or flinch when you face your difficulties, and you cry like a child when you face family affection. Perhaps it will be your fatal wound. ”
"My parents were heartbroken for ****, but in the end, what they were waiting for was the white-haired person to send the black-haired person, who wouldn't be hurt? Maybe my parents died because of me, and I couldn't help them die. As a son of man, but he can't give them filial piety, heaven can't tolerate it!" Shao Xin shook his head and shouted with sobs, picked up the wine gourd in his hand, and poured a big mouthful.
Ying Yan also took a big sip of wine, sighed and said, "Shao Xin, Uncle Yan will give you a reason!"
"No one can understand your own injuries, no matter how good your brother is, you can't empathize with them, everyone has experienced different things, and their insights are different, so can you understand your sadness? You still have a long way to go, and it will be very difficult, you have to remember!" Ying Yan taught. 、
"I didn't understand it before, but now I can slowly understand it. It's too hard to share the story in your heart, and even if you tell someone, he may not be able to understand what you're saying!"
"It's good if you understand, you can sit down again, Uncle Yan will go in to accompany your aunt." Ying Yan patted Shao Xin on the shoulder again, and was about to get up and enter the house, Shao Xin suddenly asked: "Brother Xing's method should have succeeded?" I have been in a coma for the past few days, Brother Xing has occupied my body, and I have no memory of this time. ”
"It worked, it was very successful. This week has not only saved my wife Ah Ru, but also saved the five people who were shattered by the sect master, and recently they have come to see you every day, but you are still in a coma. ”
"That's great, if only we could save them!"
"By the way, speaking of this matter, Uncle still has to tell you, now Ying Kui, Ying Yuan, Ying Ke, Ying Wu, and Ying Chang regard you as a life-saving benefactor in their hearts, you have to guide them well, it is too difficult for a person to succeed! They can be grateful to you wholeheartedly now, you have to collect these connections, maybe they can help you in the future!"
"Well, thank you Uncle for your guidance. ”
Ying Yan nodded with Shao Xin, expressing affirmation, opened the curtain and prepared to go in, and suddenly Shao Xin said again: "Uncle Yan, I have a question in my heart, I don't know if I can ...... it."
"Oh, what's the doubt? There's nothing unsightly about our win, just say it. Ying Yan returned to the stone chair beside Shao Xin.
"What is the real Chinese civilization? The old man that the Sect Master Yingyue Ning said last time was a combination of Chinese civilization and Mongolian culture...... Later, I realized that you Yingao and I look different, obviously different. Your facial features are more like white people!" asked Shao Xin.
"White people?"
"Oh, Uncle Yan may not understand when he is isolated from the world. Now there are three categories of people in the world, white, black, and yellow. While whites are generally distributed in Europe, blacks are distributed in India, and most of today's China is yellow. ”
"Haha, it turns out that the current society is divided according to skin color. But it's also the most intuitive."
"Wasn't it before?
"We were divided by ethnicity. The color of the skin will change with the changes of the historical environment, but the nation will not, the nation is a kind of inheritance, a kind of continuity. We have a genealogy in Yingao, which clearly writes the origin and origin of our Zhurong eight surnames, and also clearly depicts the run-in between various ethnic groups at that time. In ancient times, surnames and surnames were separated. The clan represents your place of origin, which is the nation in today's terms, and the surname represents the place of origin of your mother. At that time, in order to compete for resources, the tribes broke out countless battles, until the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, the first time to achieve the integration of ethnic groups, our ancestor Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit slaves for national integration. According to our division at that time, our Ying clan originated from the Caucasian race, and the appearance of You Shao Xin is characteristic of the original indigenous people of China, that is, the Mongolian people. By the time of the Huangshi Dao people, the various ethnic groups had already merged. The later Chinese nation does not refer to the nation, but to distinguish by culture, with Confucius and Mencius as the boundary, and those who accept the baptism of Confucius and Mencius are all Chinese people. Ying Yan patiently explained.
"Then I was at the gate of the village at that time, and Sect Master Ying seemed to be very annoying, and he didn't admit that the old man was a traditional Chinese?" Shao Xin asked.
"Individuals have personal biases. In the 5,000 years of China, it is not uncommon for dynasties to change dynasties and multi-ethnic integration. Which one has the final say?"
"Then why do you still maintain white characteristics? Caucasian characteristics?"
"Haha, thousands of years ago, we moved here to be isolated from the world, and we didn't have a chance to integrate with multiple nationalities?
"Oh, I see, that Ji Wushuang Ji said that the revitalization of the Chinese nation is referring to the concept of culture, not nation. No wonder, Ji Wushuang established the Sihe Hall in this hidden village, the original purpose was for this!"
Everyone thinks that Sect Master Ji has foresight. Because of the 5,000 years of history, the fault line of Chinese culture is too great, and many ancient books have disappeared due to war. And we all have models in the Hidden World Village, and Sect Master Ji just wants this group of children to spread the real Chinese culture!"
"By the way, Shao Xin, your surname is Shao, it should originate from the surname Ji!"
"Oh?"
"Haha, if you have a chance, you go and see Ji Ao's family tree, which clearly records the change of surname Ji. Okay, Uncle Yan went back to sleep! Just before there is anyone, you can sit and cry again" Ying Yan patted Shao Xin, got up and went into the back room.
