"The new concept of nature is a perspective and concept of looking at the world.

"In the new concept of nature, nature includes everything in the world, including forests, the sky, the earth, the sea, the sun, the moon and the stars, and even the plane in which we live.

"To put it mildly, a tree is nature, a person is nature, a gust of wind is nature, and even a drop of water or a grain of sand is nature.

In this conception, elves are no longer children of the forest, no more children of nature, no longer naturally superior to humans, they are just a part of nature, just like us.

"Only the wisdom, knowledge, and character cultivated after tomorrow are the biggest difference between us and them!"

Xia Duo's words are aimed at breaking the natural superior divine aura on the elves, if you exclude the innate factors and only consider the day after tomorrow, the gap between humans and elves is not so big.

At least, humans are not inferior to elves in their ability to learn.

Moreover, humans can also extend their lifespan through spells, although they may not necessarily have the natural longevity of elves, but with the development of related spells, they may not be able to surpass elves in the future.

As for appearance, it is related to aesthetics, which in turn is closely related to a person's perception of the world and the trend of social thought.

As long as the divine aura of the elves' natural superiority is broken, it will inevitably cause aesthetic changes.

In Chado's view, this is not a problem.

……

After the brief introduction, in the dark, Xia Duo heard Nia's slightly rapid breathing, and thought to himself, is this concept so difficult to accept?

This was not the case, and Nia soon whispered in his ear, "Is this new idea of nature from the ancient elves, or from your homeland?" ”

"Some are from the ancient elves, and some are from my hometown." Shado replied truthfully.

The part from the ancient elves, strictly speaking, should be the original meaning of the word "nature", but the "new concept of nature" as a concept, nature cannot only redefine "nature", but also have concept-related content.

And this part is related to Xia Duo's hometown, which is actually an otherworldly version of "Taoist thought".

It's just that the "dao" in Chinese is difficult to find a corresponding word in the color language, and it is difficult to make people associate it, so it is better to borrow the "nature" in the elven language.

By reinterpreting the meaning of "nature" in the Elven language, we can also deconstruct the Elven mind to a certain extent and make it owned by me.

Even in the future, when this kind of ideology is brought into the elven world, it will be much easier to put on the skin of "nature" than to create a new word.

Xia Duo does not attach much importance to external things such as "name", as long as the essence remains the same, which is probably also influenced by the "name of the Tao is not a permanent name".

Neither "Tao" nor "Nature" changes its original meaning.

Another example is Daxia Ling, which is actually an Elven word, only because the pronunciation is similar to "Daxia" in Chinese, which was used by him as the name of the territory, and its original meaning in Elven language is "the land of the brave pioneering".

In the future, with the continuous development of the Great Xia Collar, this word may become a proper noun used to make a special "Great Xia Collar".

In fact, such a phenomenon often occurs in Xia Duo's hometown, such as "Buddha" and "Bodhisattva" in Buddhism are foreign words and foreign thoughts.

However, the sinicization of its classics by the hometown people (in fact, it is to reinterpret and give new meanings), and the new ideas produced by the continuous integration of local ideas have become part of the hometown culture.

Xia Duo didn't plan to include the elves right now, but at least he already had the idea, and shaping the right cultural roots was a top priority.

Otherwise, it is not called tolerance, but assimilation.

……

The Arcanist can also be considered a "seeker" to some extent, and Nya is far more receptive to "Taoist thought" than Xia Duo imagined.

Until late at night, Niya kept asking how to understand this and how to do it, like a child who has just come into contact with new things and is full of curiosity.

Xia Duo was tired to deal with, but at the same time, he was also very happy.

I am glad that Nia is receptive to the new concept of nature, and I am also pleased that the culture of her hometown has taken root and developed in another world.

……

The next day, Shado woke up from his slumber, but she didn't expect Nia to wake up earlier than her, staring at him with sparkling eyes, as if she had a lot to say.

Xia Duo reached out to Niya and helped her comb her loose hair, and then asked softly, "It's still early to enter the snowmelt competition, why don't you sleep for a while?" ”

"I've slept enough, I didn't cast many spells yesterday, just sleep for a while." Nia blushed slightly and turned her head away, but then immediately turned around and continued to stare at Shado.

"Ahem—"

Xia Duo hurriedly coughed dryly and reminded: "This is in the Arcane Federation, not in the Tower of Time!" ”

The two have been married for almost two years, and they can be regarded as old husbands and wives, Niya still doesn't understand what Xia Duo wants to say, hearing this kind of words, she was immediately ashamed, and angrily clenched her little fist and hammered it on Xia Duo's chest:

"What do you think! I ask you, what did you do last night when you told me about the new nature idea? Do you want to deal with the elves? ”

Niya's perception of elves is very complicated, on the one hand, she admires elven culture, but on the other hand, her father was injured by elves, and she was cursed and died unpredictably.

And in the past year or two, she has seen both the strong side of the elves and the weak side of the elves, which she can see, and Xia Duo can also see them.

She wasn't sure what Chardo's purpose was when she suddenly mentioned the "New Nature Idea" to her, but it was certain that it had something to do with the elves!

"Why didn't you ask last night?" Xia Duo quipped as he got up.

Last night Nia asked a lot of questions, and even fell asleep while asking questions, but most of the questions she asked focused on the new idea of nature, not anything else.

"Last night, last night I didn't expect that!" Nia suddenly smiled slyly and thought of a reason.

Seeing this, Xia Duo pretended to shake his head, but in fact, he was happy in his heart for Nia's smart sexual feelings, the two have been married and have been getting along so far, and the relationship has become closer and closer, and Niya has shown her girlish nature more and more in front of him.

It would be too tiring for a husband and wife to live with some kind of mask on their part.

To Niya's question, Xia Duo did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Do you think that the Southern Savile Territory and the Great Xia Territory combined can deal with the elves?" ”

"Can't!"

"That's it, the new idea of nature is not for others, but for ourselves. With the establishment of the Northland Alliance, the more exchanges between the Northland countries are, the more we must have our own ideological walls! ”

Xia Duo said this, Niya seemed to understand or not, but she still nodded seriously.

Afterwards, the two freshened up and left the Arcane Federation together.
