As soon as Guo Kang said this, others could actually understand.

This idea is simple to say, but it is also simple, that is, "if you can't understand it, you won't understand it." ”

"Anyway, through the summary, I already know what the other party will do in this case. In this case, in many cases it is actually sufficient. Guo Kang explained: "Anyway, you just need to know how to deal with it." ”

"There are quite a few people who are doing this kind of research now, and we support them in finding out the ins and outs of history, but this is mainly for other fields of research. For example, summarizing the law of barbarian tides and so on, this is a further research direction. ”

"Barbarian tide?" Zhu Wenkui asked curiously.

"It's a cyclical phenomenon." Guo Kang said: "Every once in a while, there will be a large-scale barbarian activity in the Eurasian continent, and all civilized regions will often be attacked together. ”

"Because the cultural and political backwardness of the barbarians does not mean that they are backward in other aspects. In many cases, these people will develop their forces faster than civilized areas, so they will attract invasions. That's what we really need to solve. ”

"Moreover, every technological breakthrough is often mastered by the barbarians first. Instead, they have embraced it faster and developed more rapidly. For example, when iron first appeared, it did not become effective in the Hittites and did not make Egypt strong, but allowed the sea peoples to wreak havoc everywhere. Later, after the cavalry was perfected, it also strengthened the strength of the relatively civilized area of the steppe people, resulting in another barbarian spread, and the Qin and Han empires and ancient Rome both collapsed at this time. ”

"Our current technological level is more developed than it was then, and in many places, we have reached the verge of technological breakthroughs. But this is the most dangerous time. He admonished: "Just as the Bronze Age, when it was about to break through to the Iron Age, it was the most dangerous for civilized nations." We also have to pay attention to this situation. ”

"If there is another proliferation of tech barbarians this time, everyone will have to suffer together. Whether it is Rome, the Central Plains, or even the Persians, we all have to suffer together. It's not like this hasn't happened before. ”

When everyone heard this, they all agreed. But Jeanne Jr. questioned it.

"Wasn't it the 'Wuhu' that attacked the Central Plains at that time?" She asked, "Wuhu is obviously a civilized person." It can only be said that they are not a Chinese ethnic group in the traditional sense, and it cannot be said that they are barbarian tribes. ”

"Huh? Why? Zhu Wenkui was very surprised, and even Princess Ma and Monk Daoyan looked at her in surprise.

"I had just learned this part of history at the time, and I discussed it with Brother Kang." Jeanne told them: "The so-called Wuhu didn't come out of nowhere. ”

"For example, the Qiang people, who came from Central Asia, were of the same species as the Sogdians. It has been suggested that the two tribes were in fact the same group, but that they had a caste distinction according to the custom of the Indo-Persian region. Among them, the warrior caste was called Karma, and the common people were called Sogdians. It can be understood that the Qiang people were roughly the Sogdian warriors who participated in the war. ”

"Both the Sogdians and the Persians belonged to the Persian civilization, and their language and culture were similar to those of the Persians. For example, in the historical records of the Central Plains, the 'Hu Tian' believed by the Qiang people is the supreme god of Persia, Ahura Mazda. ”

"So, they obviously belong to a civilized nation." Jeanne Jr. analyzed: "Not only civilized people, but also the level of civilization is not low. After all, it was still the 4th century, not to mention our Gaul, even if the Greek region was civilized, it might not be able to catch up with these Persian cultural groups, right? ”

"They've all become barbarians, so what are we?" She threw out a question: "Everyone is a barbarian, isn't the theory of this barbarian tide meaningless?" ”

"Huh? And this kind of thing? Zhu Wenkui said unexpectedly: "My impression of them is that the Wuhu are the most ferocious, and as a result, you say that they are civilized people......

"Murder depends on who you compare with." Jeanne Jr. noted: "They are Central Asians, and that is how that place is. ”

"Uh......"

"Moreover, if the Qiang people are civilized people, the other Hu people are obviously also civilized people." Jeanne Jr. said: "There are some of them, and I doubt why they should be separated. ”

"It is said in the history books that Qi Wannian, the leader of the rebellious Di people, had already had a household registration and belonged to the county. I have never seen a better system in Europe than the household registration and county system. They, and even those who are far less identified with the imperial court, are unsurprisingly native people on our side. People have been farming, paying taxes, and speaking Chinese for generations. How did the Jin people come up with the idea of separating them separately? ”

"Then what if the Jin people's assimilation ability is too weak?" Zhu Wenkui asked: "Maybe they have been there for generations, or they still don't treat themselves as Central Plains?" ”

"I just said that you are more civilized than the Persians. Now, is it said that the influence of culture is worse than that of France? Jeanne said in surprise: "I heard before that because of the developed civilization of the Tang Dynasty, half of the people in Asia went to convert to Wanghua. What did the Jin people do to cause this strange result? ”

Zhu Wenkui couldn't answer for a while, so he went to see Guo Kang. But Guo Kang actually didn't know how to answer.

He had previously discussed poetry with Li Anning and others—or had seen other people chant poetry, and learned about some stylistic changes. After the Tang Dynasty arrived at the Anshi Rebellion, they actually began to resist Hu Feng.

But if you say it so directly, it seems stingy. It seems that the more beaten he is, the more he likes to mention Chinese orthodoxy......

Moreover, Yuan Bai, who advocated the "New Yuefu" movement and criticized the Hu customs and customs in society, were actually Hu people themselves. Yuan Zhi is the Xianbei Tuoba clan, and the surname Yuan was changed by Emperor Xiaowen. Bai Juyi is the Qiuzi Bai clan, his ancestor was the Fan army in the Western Regions, rushed to the Central Plains to participate in the suppression of the Anshi Rebellion, rose from a soldier all the way to the Jiedu envoy, and finally entered the dynasty as a scholar.

It's a pity that the Hu people don't write much poetry. Otherwise, seeing that they even have to criticize the Hu people who dance and perform in the neighborhood, I am afraid that they will have to sigh a little bit "Hu Er is all in Chinese language, but he scolds Hu people to the head of the house" and so on......

Seeing that Guo Kang couldn't speak, Xiao Jeanna continued: "So I think there is something wrong with this theory. ”

"In my opinion, these are not barbarian invasions. It was raised by the court officials, either in order to loot money, or to accumulate military merits, or to blackmail their own self-respect. Otherwise, we would not only look down on the level of civilization in the Central Plains at that time, but also look down on us. ”

"Instead of thinking about how to deal with the barbarian tide, let's think about how the barbarians came to be." She looked at Zhu Wenkui: "Seris is the biggest barbarian producer, and after a while, a wave of barbarians will be thrown out." Shouldn't this question be the best known to the people of the Central Plains? ”
