1908 The inevitability of history
The Mongol Yuan destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, but did not destroy the Chinese civilization. Although 100,000 scholars jumped into the sea on Yashan Mountain to commit suicide, among the people, the memories of history are still continued in the scholars' notes.
No one forgets the pain of being massacred back then, nor will one forget the order of ten families to hunt with only one kitchen knife, nor will one forget the shame of his bride being taken away by the Mongol Yuan.
All hatred is slowly accumulated under the earth, from my grandfather's generation to my father's generation and then to my own generation, and eventually continues to the hearts of my son and grandson.
It is precisely because of such a memory of hatred from generation to generation that there will be a war to expel the Tartars from the Ming Dynasty and a revival of the Han Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty was destroyed, and the Eight Banners of Manchus came. After entering the pass, they enclosed land to massacre the Han people and became slaves to the Manchus. The Kuzheng, who had no hair left, had more than a million Han people slaughtered.
Will anyone forget all this? Although the mangroves collected countless cynics to apply makeup to them, desperately defending the justice of the killing, and vigorously reducing the scale of the killings in the Three Massacres in Jiading and Yangzhou in ten days.
But the people have not forgotten that some scholars in the wild always do not be cynical or slaves! They use their pens and mouths to memorize history from generation to generation, and for more than two hundred years, they will not let the memory of hatred die.
It is also because of the efforts of these scholars that the struggle against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty that lasted for more than 200 years, and that would lead to the revolutionary party's response.
Why is this happening? Because Chinese people have never forgotten! When the revolutionaries once again raised the banner of expelling the Tartars during the Xuantong period, hundreds of millions of people would immediately think of how foreign races from the north massacred the Han people more than 200 years ago, and the seeds of hatred would surely sprout again.
It is undeniable that the Qing Dynasty ruled China very strongly, and literary inquisitions have never been cut off. The most important purpose of the so-called compilation of the Siku Quanshu is to investigate and ban the civilized antonyms.
What is an anti-book? Those notes of massacre that record the entry of Manchu into the pass are representatives of the great sins and evil in the anti-book.
Manchus were very scared. They were afraid that the Han people in the world would record their cruel massacres back then, because this seed of hatred would sprout one day.
But Manchus always underestimated how huge the roots of Chinese civilization are, and the national spirit imprinted in the genes cannot be erased by Manchus at all.
Two hundred years of rule still cannot separate the roots of Chinese civilization. When the end of the dynasty is over, revolutionaries will always turn up the dark side of history and declare the shamelessness of this dynasty to the world.
The same was true for World War II. The Japanese attempted to colonize China under the banner of the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle, but no matter how beautiful their lies were, they could not defeat the tenacious vitality of Chinese civilization in the end.
The Chinese will always remember every massacre and will be destined to take revenge again one day in the future. This is already a foreseeable future.
However, those ethnic groups with low levels of civilization probably have long forgotten the blood shed by their grandfather. The enemy who slaughtered his ancestors back then may have been the benefactors of his lollipops in his eyes.
Why is this happening? Because their civilization has very shallow roots, there are no many intellectuals among them to record history, and even these people don’t care what has happened in history.
Their civilization has lost its right to interpret in the face of the higher civilization of the colonists!
The textbooks that children read were intervened by colonists, and the history studied by adults was also whitewashed by invaders. The cruel massacre of 10,000 people in the past may have turned into hundreds of people under the whitewashed of the enemy, and it was a man-killing that had to happen.
Lower civilizations do not have many universities or high-level intellectuals. They can only learn from higher civilization systems to interpret history.
Can you make no mistake in interpreting history from the enemy's textbooks? This is a fundamental reason why lower civilizations forget history because they are not self-reliant.
Another very important reason is the nature of the nation!
In Xiao Letian's memory, the Chinese are descendants nurtured by Chinese civilization, and they are born with a sense of closeness to history and politics.
To give the simplest example, all ethnic groups in the world basically sing and dancing after drinking to mess with relationships between men and women, but China is the only one.
Only China has a unique attribute that is very different from the whole world! That is, if Chinese people eat three glasses of wine, especially men, they will definitely gather together to brag, especially those who brag about history and those who brag about politics.
In the mouths of these people, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were just a plate of peanuts, the Han Dynasty and Sui Dynasty were just a beef, and the Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty were even more clear about the white-cut chicken... Everything was a plate of dishes in their mouths, and all the secret history of the palace could be told in a casual manner.
Not only talk about history, Chinese men love to talk about reality, and there is nothing unfamiliar with the political factions in the capital and the internal struggles.
There is nothing he doesn't understand about the conspiracy between countries. The emperors and generals in their mouths are like roasted red prawns, which are just a dish that can be judged casually.
This is the Chinese, a nation that has been close to history and politics from the bottom of its core. The roots of Chinese civilization have penetrated into everyone's hearts.
Don’t laugh at the nonsense in the mouths of those drunkards. Maybe everything they say is just their imagination and guess. But don’t deny that this habit of being willing to read history and comment on politics is the very unique vitality of Chinese civilization.
This is the mass foundation, this is the cornerstone of a civilization that never forgets history, and this is the civilization attribute that those lower civilizations dream of but unattainable!
Chinese people love to talk about history and politics, but what do those lower civilizations like? They are just today's fine wine, food and women.
"So, if the Suez Canal is built in China and the French colonists dare to build this canal with the lives of 120,000 people, then this hatred will be poured out all the waters of the Pacific Ocean and cannot be cleared!"
Xiao Letian looked at the night sky in the Middle East and suddenly said to himself, "These indigenous people will choose to forget, but we Chinese will not forget... Let's remember it for you first, and when the day we meet the scenery, we will tell you exactly..."
Wang Huaiyuan beside him was already stupid. His thinking could not keep up with Xiao Letian's depth at all. Today, the head of state pushed open a small door for him, and what he saw was the starry sky of history shining brightly.
It turns out that human civilization has such a way of interpreting it, and he has never heard of it!
Note: I went to attend a funeral this morning, which wasted a lot of time, so it was updated very late, so don’t be surprised! However, the updates I gave to you today are all practical things, and it is absolutely original. You can’t see similar conclusions anywhere.
Since ancient times, the Hu people have never had a hundred years of luck. Why did they have such remarks? Because Chinese civilization will never forget history. You have bullied me and slaughtered me. So don’t worry, Chinese civilization will spend 100 years and 200 years or even more time to accumulate strength.
Sooner or later, this power will pour onto the enemy's head!
From this point of view, China-Japan friendship is actually nothing!
Xinjing is not a fanatical nationalist. I just saw from historical experience how our ancestors played!
That's all!
