The afternoon of the third day was the day of the final round of the debate.

When Li Ye and the others arrived at the final scene of the debate, Qin Yongsheng suddenly asked Li Ye in a whisper: "Li Ye, haven't you slept well in the past two days?" Do you want to take advantage of the time you still have to squint for a while? ”

Li Ye said in surprise: "No! Where did you tell I wasn't sleeping well? ”

Qin Yongsheng looked at Li Ye and said, "I can't see it, but I always feel it. You're a little tired. ”

"Lingjing is telling the truth," Li Ye said angrily and with a smile: "Let you receive several groups of enthusiastic compatriots every day to try, you sleep on it, and I talk about feelings below, can you not be tired?" ”

In the past few days, the overseas compatriots who have come to the hotel have not stopped, and most of them can call out Li Ye's name, making Li Ye look like a mascot, and he was pulled out by Team Leader Zhou to pull out the platform.

"I want to be tired too, but people don't look for me!" Qiao Dapeng held his mouth and pretended to be pitiful: "I also want to accept the enthusiasm of those compatriots, especially those kind old grandfathers who came with beautiful granddaughters and a lot of gifts."

"Get out~, it's all rabbits, right? Is there something good I haven't shared with you? Besides, I'm turning my face! ”

"Hahahaha~"

Everyone laughed, but the tension before the game was resolved.

In the past few days, Li Ye and others have indeed received a lot of gifts, but most of them are ordinary fruits and snacks, which have been digested by everyone's stomach.

As for this is the only case of being as generous as Fu Guiru, everyone is speculating about what kind of character the other party is.

Li Ye also wanted to know her situation, but Pei Wencong never replied to Li Ye, and it is estimated that the private detective is not an FBI, and he can find out the details of other people in minutes.

At the beginning of the finals, Li Ye saw Wu Jinyuan in the audience, and the half of what she said floated in his ears.

"Debate, no problem."

It seems like it's really fine.

The debate was held between Beijing University and Hong Kong Island Chinese University, and the final debate topic was that Confucianism and other cultures can coexist.

At first glance, there was nothing wrong with this debate, because Confucianism was relatively prevalent in Lijiapo, and Li Ye remembered that according to the trajectory of the original time and space, there were indeed debates about Confucianism and Western customs in the following debates.

But when Li Ye and others knew about this debate, they attached great importance to it and were very cautious.

In particular, a variety of countermeasures have been made against the opposing side.

Because if Confucianism cannot coexist with other cultures, will it be misinterpreted or even used by those who have intentions?

At this time, the negotiations between the mainland and Britain are not over yet! You say that you can't coexist, does that mean that it's black and white, and the east wind must prevail over the west wind?

Therefore, Li Ye and others are prepared to debate in the direction of "Confucianism and other cultures do not coexist, but have something in common in themselves, and can be integrated and complementary".

But when it comes to drawing heads and tails, an interesting situation arises.

Beijing University won the draw, while Hong Kong Island Chinese University drew the opposite.

How are you going to argue about this?

Hong Kong Island has always boasted of being a model of "East-West merger", but you yourself say that the two cultures cannot coexist?

That's weird! Do you want to get rid of all Western consciousness and restore the orthodox ancestral culture?

Just kidding, how can that show the generosity and tolerance of our big flower empire?

However, after the debate began, the side of Hong Kong Island Chinese University did not surrender in discouragement, but showed a "Taiji Yin and Yang Diagram", and put forward the debate idea of "one eliminates the other's strengths" and actively confronted Beijing University.

In any case, the fact that Confucianism and other cultural ideas coexist has not been questioned in the slightest.

But when the third debater of the University of Hong Kong, He Qiusheng, began to debate the summary, the direction of the wind was suddenly crooked.

"Throughout history, any kind of successful cultural thought has a strong aggressiveness, and the Western Crusades, as many as eight times before and after, were caused by the collision of faith and thought.

In our East, there were hundreds of brilliant schools of thought in the past, and hundreds of schools of thought such as Taoism, Mo, Law, and Agriculture had their own strengths, but in the end, they respected Confucianism.

Even in the Tang Dynasty, Confucianism moved south and north, suppressing and devouring the rest of the regional culture, and finally digesting it."

"Therefore, if two thoughts coexist at the same time, then it is not the peace and friendliness of the thoughts themselves, but the mutual holding formed by the equality of power of the two sides, just like the yin and yang holding each other on the Taiji diagram."

He Qiusheng suddenly looked at Li Ye and said, "For example, Zhengfang Sanbian, a rookie writer of the younger generation, described in detail the expansion and setbacks of Confucianism in his "Shuo Feng Feiyang"

"In the book "The Wind Flying", it is described in detail that Dongying was defeated by the Baichuan River, which led to the invasion of Confucianism into Dongying, and finally completely incorporated Dongying into the Confucian cultural circle."

However, the Battle of Talas recounted in "The Flying Wind" was a different result, because of the defeat of the Battle of Talas in the Tang Dynasty, the expansion of Confucianism to the west was forced to stop."

Li Ye: "."

[It's really special that I know myself and the other side will win all battles, has my seven-inch blade reached the point where it is regarded as a breakthrough? ] 】

Li Ye listened to He Qiusheng's eloquent talk, and really admired his clever words.

If you want to say that Confucianism almost wiped out the rest of the cultures in East Asia, you must be right.

You say that there is a direct correspondence between thought and power, and it makes a lot of sense.

But you have to emphasize the aggressive nature of Confucianism. How can you say such a thing?

[Are you Confucian threat theory? Or is it the China threat theory? 】

Our Confucianism is the most particular about benevolence, you can't just pay attention to that little bit of flaw, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith, you should learn these first, okay?

At the beginning of the eighties, if someone preached the threat of planting flowers, basically no one believed it, but the people of Hong Kong Island might believe it, after all, it was too close to the mainland and too far from Britain.

"Now it's up to the three sides to make a summary of the debate."

Li Ye stood up, bowed slightly, and gestured to the surroundings.

"First of all, I must emphasize the contribution of Confucianism to world civilization and science and technology."

"According to the "Chronology of World Natural Science Events", before the 16th century, there were about 300 major scientific and technological inventions that affected human life, of which 175 were invented by flower growers."

"It is these major inventions and discoveries that have made the farming, textile, metallurgy, and handicraft manufacturing technologies of the flower growers at the world's advanced level for a long time."

"Confucianism also left behind a large number of world-renowned scientific works, such as "Examination of Work", "Heavenly Creation" and so on."

Li Ye didn't speak quickly, but every word was clear and powerful.

After he finished talking about the contribution of Confucianism, he said: "In addition, the argument that the opposing side has just used me to propagate is completely wrong.

Confucianism has been able to take root everywhere, not because of its aggression, but precisely because of its advancement,"

"Whether it is Dongying or the peninsula in the north, for a long time, they have continuously sent Tang envoys to the mainland to plant flowers, bringing the advanced ideas and technologies of the flower planters back to their hometowns.

Confucianism has significantly increased productivity on a large scale, and this is a historical fact that has been recorded in many languages."

"And this kind of cultural and technological export is basically free of charge, and the flower growers have never charged any fees or demanded any price because of the outflow of these technologies."

"So Confucianism is not an invasion, but an attraction"

Li Ye paused for a few seconds and said calmly: "We can't be sure how other civilized ideas are, but Confucianism is peaceful, full of goodwill, and can and is willing to accept other excellent cultural thoughts. ”

“.”

After Li Ye finished speaking, two seconds after he sat down, the applause around him rang out, and the louder it became, the more enthusiastic it became, and it lasted for a long time.

Li Ye's speech was calm and indifferent, as if there was no strong emotional tension, but he always emphasized one point. You guys are all willing to embrace Confucianism, and you've all benefited.

In the free debate that followed, the performance of the Hong Kong Island Chinese University was significantly more radical, citing several regional civilizations that had disappeared in history because of the Flower Empire, hoping to prove that Confucianism has a strong exclusive nature.

However, the Beijing University debate team changed its style, and just said indifferently, "This is the progress of the times, and their demise is due to their own defects.

If they are good enough and advanced enough, they will definitely coexist with Confucianism to this day."

And the more peaceful the performance of the Beijing University, the more aggressive the attack of the University of Hong Kong, and you come and go continuously.

But what the two debate teams, as insiders, didn't know was that the people around them felt that the king of Beijing University was becoming more and more prosperous and unshakable.

The more enterprising the debaters at HKU are, and the more they want to win, the more they will not be able to shake the Confucian style of Beijing University.

There are too many such things in the history of the flower planter, the more impatient you are, the more humble I am, I am so humble, why do you still say that I am a bad person? Why do you still say that I won't give you a way to live?

On the contrary, you are not in a hurry or impatient, and the elegant Confucian scholar has to put down the book and pull out a large knife several meters long from under the clean and neat scholar's robe.

"Bear with me! My knife was fast, it didn't hurt at all after the cut. You're your own. ”

Confucianism can radiate such a large territory of 20,000 miles from north to south, how can it be just a polite gentleman?
