Shi Huizhen's remarks, of course, are not irrefutable. Many of the people here have been trained in serious logic and debate, and it is not difficult to find loopholes in them.

The real trouble lies in the fact that the historical facts on which she is based are the most difficult to explain. After all, the Greeks did decline step by step to the present situation, and their infighting deeds have also been throughout history, and they are extremely well-known throughout the Mediterranean world, and they can't hide it if they want to.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and finally, a girl in a Chinese costume who was about the same age as Shi Huizhen asked, "The questions you mentioned are also found in many other civilizations." How can we analyze that this is really the result of Greek cultural traditions? ”

"It's true that I'm not good at analysis, but I don't think I need such a profound method for this problem." Shi Huizhen said: "There are many places where I haven't learned Greek culture. ”

"If you look at the Central Plains, the Mongols, and the Turks, none of them have learned the knowledge of Yasheng, and as a result, all the people who can fight are from their side. This was true even for the early Romans. This should be obvious. ”

"I heard Theodora say that the Hellenistic sphere was at its strongest in the early days of the Eastern Empire. But I thought, the system at that time was not the ideal kind of Yasheng and others, right? ”

"Hellenistic culture was never cut off for two thousand years, and the Eastern Empire became a de facto Greek state. Did you misunderstand? The girl corrected.

"But didn't you learn the direction of development at that time from the Persians?" "Although nominally a Greek state, the Romans had long before this time learned state-building from the Persians. In the early years of the Eastern Empire, the whole country, both politically and in terms of military organization, became more and more on par with the Persians. ”

"According to the tradition of the Greeks, it is impossible to organize a great power. It's not hard to see why. She shrugged.

"But even before the establishment of a great power, Greek civilization was very brilliant." The other party argued: "Until now, many people still believe that that was the time when Greek civilization was at its most prosperous. ”

"With such prosperity, why submit to Macedonia? Why was it looted and slaughtered by the Celts? Shi Huizhen asked rhetorically: "Without the result of a big country, a circle of barbarians can come to fight the autumn wind casually." This one has gone and that one has been going for hundreds of years without interruption. Is this still a good thing? ”

"Civilization is glorious, but people are gone." She spread her hands: "But what is the point of civilization that no one has?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't know history, you see next door to us. Look at those Italians. Again, she gave an example: "These people are also classic city-states, and they are indeed prosperous, but what is the use of that? It's just guarding the vault for the Alemanni barbarians. One day, the barbarians will free their hands, and they will all die. ”

"Now, even the barbarians themselves know that they must try their best to put an end to the bad habit of the city-states acting in their own ways, and strengthen the management of them by the imperial court. England and France have done this, and they have done it. You read every day, but you are not as wise as the political wisdom of the barbarians. Is it because the barbarians are too smart and educated, or are you too deeply poisoned and your brains are already messed up? ”

"How can you say that people are inferior to barbarians?" Another guest was a little unacceptable: "Moreover, the barbarians have always risen quickly, but they also perished quickly, and in a long history, they may have been just some 'accidents'. I don't think this kind of example makes much sense. ”

"Then let's just look at civilized people." Shi Huizhen disagreed: "Greece is strong and prosperous, or is the Celestial dynasties strong and prosperous?" ”

"Uh......"

"Everyone's history is not short, so you can see it clearly. Over the past thousand years, so much has happened, and everyone has gone through many tests, so the results are already obvious. Confucianism and Taoism are the most brilliant, tenacious, and powerful civilizations. She said with confidence.

"They had a spirit of great unification and a whole set of political ideals, so naturally it was easier for them to develop than Greek civilization. Isn't the result obvious? The country of Seris will change dynasties after a while, and like the immortal serpent, it will make itself bigger and stronger every time it molts. Greek civilization, on the other hand, was like a pool of stagnant water, which had passed through two thousand years in vain, but had no meaningful development, and finally fell to the point where it is now. Shi Huizhen scratched her head: "I still think this is quite understandable......"

"If the Central Plains region was also a Greek civilization, then hundreds of city-states would have been divided, and in the continuous civil wars and foreign invasions, they would be divided and annexed by nomads from all walks of life, and even Goryeo and Annam. In later generations, it may be that the Koreans proclaimed themselves the successors of Seris and boasted of the glory of their ancestors. Isn't this kind of civilization ridiculous? ”

"I think if you want Greece to be great again, don't bother with those scripts." She shook her head and suggested, "The greatest civilization is in the East, you should at least refer to it and change it." ”

"So, where is this gap, and what should it be?" Someone actually really faltered.

"I don't know." Shi Huizhen said simply: "I'm not a teacher, you can only ask more knowledgeable people." Moreover, you should know your own problems best. ”

"Right, old bald?" She turned around and began to question Frajos again.

"I don't agree with you." Frajos said dissatisfied.

"Then what's the use of you telling me, you tell the Ming Dynasty to go." Shi Huizhen didn't care: "I'm just stating the facts, showing that the DPRK is more prosperous than Greece." Which of you is for and who is against? ”

Flavajos had nothing to say at this point, so he had to turn back and use the previous topic: "Since we are here now, the Greek experience is more appropriate." Because no matter whether it is successful or not, it is the experience summed up by the predecessors in combination with the actual situation here, and then conveyed to us. The so-called drama is just an expression of an intuitive and easy-to-understand situation. ”

"The reason why there is a play called Medea is not for entertainment, but because people at that time really discovered these problems." He explained in detail: "If you read the script, it is not difficult to know that Medea's behavior is actually very much in line with the standards of traditional heroes. If she was a man, these actions were actually very much in line with the people's understanding of heroes at that time - including killing the son of Iason, and in fact, it was also the act of killing the other party's proton because of humiliation after the covenant between the heroes was broken. This was not an uncommon occurrence in those days, and even the sun god recognized the justification of his actions and opposed Iason's subsequent revenge. ”

So, it's not about us having to condemn one civilization or exalt another, but it's about stating a simple truth: different standards have different scopes of application. The successful experiences of other civilizations do not necessarily apply here. Just like Medea's actions, it looks similar to the heroes. But as a woman, forcibly imitating male heroes, it will inevitably lead to all kinds of strange and crazy tragic results, which will have a huge impact on people's morality and order. ”

"See, the heart of the matter is not the heroic act itself, but the woman's vain attempt to equate herself with a man." "That's why I don't want you to wear a sword," Frajos concluded, "and why I mentioned the play." In fact, it has nothing to do with the big truths you said. ”

"Are you sure, then, is it the same problem as men, or is there something wrong with this hero standard itself?" Shi Huizhen didn't quite understand and questioned.

"It's up to you to make your own choices, anyway, let me remind you, it's your best." Frajos decisively didn't entangle with her: "You insist on taking it, I don't care, you can bear the consequences in the future." ”

"That's it." He took advantage of the situation to forcibly end the topic: "Let's eat, let's eat!" ”
