China wakes up - we are the despicable sinners!

Someone asked me, what is the purpose of writing this article, is it to comfort myself? I said: If it was to comfort myself, I would not use such an embarrassing title: We are the despicable sinners. Others asked

Me: Don’t you admire Western culture? Why do you still write such things? I told him: Liking does not mean flattering. For example: If you like a woman, kiss her face; if you want to flatter a woman, just kiss her.

Her face, and then add her feet. There are some people in China now whose cultural reflection behavior is excessive and perverted. I just want to give these people a slap. I will slap this slap as hard as I can. Such people

There are two views:

1. Describe the common ugliness in human history as unique ugliness in Chinese history, and then argue that Chinese culture is inferior.

2 The second is to describe the low quality of citizens common in developing countries as the bad character of Chinese people, and then argue that the Chinese are an inferior nation.

After China experienced the impact of Western civilization, some people often reflected on the political and cultural issues of their own nation. This is a good thing. It is undeniable that many of these reflective people are people who have contributed to China's progress.

However, in our reflections, there have also been some extreme points:

A complete denial of traditional culture.* In the text, almost all Chinese traditional culture is called "feudal dross". It even led to the great tragedy of destroying the Four Olds. A complete rejection of Chinese history. It is said that "feudal society is the darkness of 2000 years",*

Especially among them. At present, such arguments still exist. It is ridiculous to think about it. They are all outdated ultra-left ideas that have been denied by history. Therefore, they have just changed their sign. Originally it was called overthrowing feudalism, but now it is called bravery.

Know shame.

I can tell such people that there is a big difference between being brave and shameless and being brave and shameless, just like a gentleman and a scoundrel, a warrior and a clown! In history, humans have had at least five large-scale destructions of culture. These five times

This destruction has something in common: they think there is something wrong with culture, it is garbage, it is the devil, it is a vat of sauce, so they destroy it.

1. The Romans. After believing in Catholicism, they frantically destroyed ancient Greek and Roman culture, demolished temples, smashed statues of gods, and banned the Olympic Games. The reason - God is the only god, and others are evil spirits. (They believe that everything in culture is problematic)

2: The Spaniards. They insisted that the Native American culture was "devil" and wreaked havoc. (They believed that everything about culture was problematic)

Three: German fascism. (thinks everything about culture is problematic)

Four: *Destroy the Four Old Movements. (Believing that everything in culture is problematic)

Five: The Taliban blew up the Bamiyan Buddhas. (I think everything about culture is problematic)

I once asked a person who likes to curse traditional Chinese culture: "China was ahead in ancient times and lagging behind in modern times. Are we sorry for the ancients? Or are they sorry for us?". He patted the table with shame and helplessness and said: "Hey! We are sorry.

I'm sorry, ancestors!" So I asked again: "In a relay race, the ancestors are ahead and the descendants are lagging behind. Do the descendants have the right to scold the ancestors? The answer is: "No." This can't help but remind me of some political issues when Germany was defeated.

What the family said in front of Charlemagne: "We are the despicable sinners!" Look at today's China, those warriors who cursed their ancestors, those warriors who refused to take responsibility for China's backwardness as their own responsibility

, those warriors who argue that the Chinese nation is an inferior nation, those warriors who argue that Chinese culture is an inferior culture, those warriors who constantly laugh at small feet, eight-legged braids, pigtails, and eunuchs, but dare not criticize 'foreign garbage'...their bravery has been criticized.

Those words of deep self-blame were obliterated. Therefore, I dare to boldly say that the true meaning of being brave and shameful lies in admitting: We are the despicable sinners.

1. The wavering of my thoughts

They describe the ugliness in world history as the ugliness unique to Chinese history, and then argue that Chinese culture is inferior. Such people are like idiots. Many years ago, probably when I was in high school, there was a book and a film

The TV series was quite popular at the time. The book is called, and the author is Bo Yang from Taiwan. The TV series is called, and the script is written by Su Shuyang. The ideas they promote are similar. Generally speaking, they compare Chinese traditional culture to a dirty "sauce vat"

, attributing China’s more than one hundred years of backwardness to the culture created by our ancestors—especially Confucianism.

The book lists some of the dregs of Chinese culture, such as eight-legged essays, small feet, imperial staffs, and eunuchs. Blind worship of idols, foolish loyalty and filial piety, the confinement of thoughts, and the inequality of status between men and women. It also mentions the ignorance of some Chinese people.

and cruel behaviors: such as eating Yi Zi in the famine years, burning Epang Palace, burning books to humiliate Confucian scholars, playing power, fighting each other, infighting, etc. So we came to the conclusion that China's backwardness lies in the inferior traditional culture.

We should give up traditional culture and accept Western civilization (actually total Westernization). After reading these two works, I have a profound feeling, that is: China's traditional culture is really worthless, while Western civilization is absolutely brilliant, and

Some of the examples given in these two works make it seem like they are talking about the iron reality - Chinese culture represents barbarism, while Western culture represents progress! After looking at it for a long time, it turns out that a kind of Western colonization has emerged

The thought that the Chinese people dreamed of back then: that the Chinese and today's backward nations are inherently inferior races, while the Europeans, especially the Germans, are absolutely excellent nations. If China wants to progress, it must be ideologically advanced.

The culture, ideology, text structure and all aspects are closer to Westerners, and maybe there is some vitality.

After reading these works at that time, I agreed. To be honest, I agreed! Because there were still many things I didn’t understand at that time... I was only in high school, and I knew only a little about the history of China. In my vague impression, it seemed like Bo

What Yang said is correct. There are indeed many dark things in China. And the conservatism, corruption and autocracy in Chinese history left a deep impression on me. However, there are so many scientists in the West such as Einstein, Galileo, and Edison.

There are many writers like Hugo, Pushkin, and Shakespeare, as well as famous art masters such as Leonardo da Vinci and Van Gogh. More importantly, the West has democracy, freedom, and science.

At that time, I once said: We claim to have a 5,000-year-old civilization, but if we look at it, almost all the things we use now were invented by Westerners. I once agreed with the sentence in "River Elegy" "Don't let yourself

Lie to yourself again!" Yes, we should not always narcotize ourselves with the ancient civilization, vast land and rich resources. We must admit our shortcomings and be brave and aware of our shame. Only by abandoning traditional culture and the bad roots of the nation can China have hope. Bo Yang once hoped that foreign countries

Friends, especially American friends, help Chinese people get rid of their bad roots. I agree. Because at that time, in my eyes, the United States was a symbol of freedom and development and a sign of civilization.

I did believe in this view at the time, but at that time, there were still many things I didn't understand... I forgot one thing. When I admired Western civilization from the bottom of my heart, I didn't even read "World History" properly.

One glance.

After high school, I read the Bible, The Analects of Confucius, Zhuangzi, and briefly read some stories from Buddhist scriptures. Later, I began to read the "Compendium of General History of China" carefully. After work, I read World History.

When looking at Chinese history, I still agree with the views of Bo Yang and others, but I have some questions. For example: "River Sage" once said: The Great Wall is a symbol of China's closed country. This statement is in line with the facts.

Is history true? It is said that the Chinese discriminate and oppress women, but the Bible also clearly points out that women are men's dependencies and must be at the mercy of men, and even insult women as whores. Bo Yang said that after Confucianism established its dominance in China,

There have never been philosophers with new ideas, but Fan Zhen, Gu Yanwu, and Dai Zhen are all thinkers with independent opinions... However, I still basically agree with their thoughts. I just feel that some of them have so-called "bad roots"

What they said is not very accurate.

When I looked at world history, I honestly didn’t have any deep feelings at first. I just felt that Westerners had many countries and ethnic groups. There were particularly many wars in Europe, and religious disputes were more frequent... But at this time, I still had no understanding of Western culture.

What a bad impression it created. But my questions have increased: Bo Yang repeatedly ridiculed the Chinese for having a eunuch system, but eunuchs also traditionally existed in Rome and Turkey, and there is also the phenomenon of castrating artists in European countries. Could it be that the eunuch system is not Chinese?

Patent? Moreover, Bo Yang repeatedly mocked the Chinese court stick as "taking off one's pants and spanking the butt", but the Roman Empire also had the tradition of beating ministers to death with sticks, and also cut off their heads... (i.e. the world-famous fascist torture

) Looking at it more carefully, I can’t help but feel confused... A civilized nation, an excellent nation. These conclusions about Europeans that I originally made in my mind can’t help but be shaken one by one!

2,ugly human beings

When I saw ancient civilizations, I also appreciated the splendid culture of Greece and Rome. But when I looked at the history of the Middle Ages, which lasted until the British Parliamentary War, to be honest, I couldn't bear to look at human history anymore.

There is such despicable intrigues in the world, there is such frantic destruction of civilization, there are such bestialities and scandals that even the most barbaric and chaotic tyrants in the East cannot commit!

★Destruction

I once said, "The Chinese destroy culture, such as Xiang Yu burning Afang Palace and Dong Zhuo destroying Chang'an and Luoyang. Foreign countries don't do this kind of behavior!" But I was wrong. Now I know: the ugliness of world history is described as the ugliness of Chinese history.

The unique ugliness further proves that Chinese culture is inferior. Such people are like idiots.

In ancient times, when the Western Rome fell, the Goths, a branch of the Germanic people, burned buildings in Rome. 45,000 houses were destroyed, and 1,800 palaces were burned to the ground. Treasures were robbed, and all the buildings were destroyed.

All the gold and silver treasures and prisoners of war became the burial objects of Alaric, the leader of the Goths, and the books and cultural relics were smashed and destroyed. Even if 100 palaces could equal the size of the Epang Palace, the amount of damage caused by the Goths would still be 18.

Epang Palace, this is an astronomical figure that is astonishing! And the astronomical figures caused by European destruction are far more than these...

In 1618, the Germans were still Germans, with quasi-Mongolian blood flowing in their veins. However, they were called by some people to be a naturally excellent and pure race (actually Hitler claimed to be a pure race), but they shamelessly turned to their own culture.

and the people raised the butcher knife. For religious disputes, in the past 30 years, the Germans invited the Danes, the Swedes, and later the Spaniards and Russians, and almost all neighboring countries to open their doors.

What is the country doing? Commerce? Spreading culture? No! It’s destruction! It’s massacre! Within 30 years, one-third of the German population died, and five-sixths of the buildings were destroyed. Germany’s ancient civilization of nearly 2,000 years

It has almost become a unique skill - it was these outstanding Germans who provoked the Second World War more than 300 years later. The destruction continued, and became more serious, bad and dehumanizing every time!

Not only the Germans, but people from other European countries are also very interested in cultural destruction, and the scale and far-reaching influence are amazing! The Dutch hated the Spanish rulers, so they took it out on culture. They took out their future

The method of destroying Indonesian civilization was to burn down and smash more than 5,500 churches in one go, of which more than 300 were built in the early Roman era and have a history of nearly a thousand years. And the Duke of Alpha in Spain did not show any weakness and brought out their old churches.

Our ancestors' previous methods of exterminating the Inca culture razed Antwerp, the center of Western European civilization and the largest city in the Netherlands, to the ground. Antwerp's financial revenue accounts for half of the entire Spanish treasury. The Spaniards are destroying their own economic lifeline in this way. It is hysterical at best.

To put it harshly, it was schizophrenia——I originally thought that the Europeans were just colonists destroying the culture of other regions. Later I learned that they even refused to let go of their own culture: In 1687, the Venetians used cannons to destroy the culture of other regions.

After the 18th century, powers from Western Europe also came to rob the Parthenon, which was hailed as the "Treasure of Greece", just like burning and robbing the Old Summer Palace! What a nation that destroyed civilization! What is puzzling is that when the Romans annexed

After Carthage, he clearly classified Carthage as one of his provinces and made it part of the Roman Empire. He also set fire to it for six days and six nights. He spread salt around the city and destroyed the culture of Carthage.

The devastation and neglect is really incomprehensible... What is even more terrifying is that I originally knew that the Chinese exchanged their children for food during the famine years, which felt very barbaric. Later I learned that during the Russian expedition to the East, the commander-in-chief Poyakov

[This person was a civil servant], under the pretext of insufficient military rations, he led his subordinates to eat human flesh, both alive and dead, from Moscow to the Heilongjiang River, until they were in a state of darkness and covered with bones... Having said this, I feel very tired. Because.

Only a small number of examples of Europeans destroying culture and destroying human beings have been discussed.

In European history, we rarely see them destroying a palace - this is not a compliment. Europeans destroy culture. On a small scale, they completely destroy a city, and on a large scale, they destroy the civilization of a nation!

A good Roman city, the Gauls came, burned it, the Carthaginians came, burned it, the Goths came, burned it, the Romans governed it themselves, it was still burning! Inca, the destruction of the Mayan civilization, the Crusades

The disasters caused by the conquests, the civil strife and destruction of the Huguenot War, the bloody killings of the Hussite War, the atrocities committed by France and Spain in Italy... If you want to fully understand the cultural achievements of Western civilized people praised by Bo Yang and others, then

Just watch it yourself, you might watch it for three days and three nights and still not finish it.

★Traitor

I used to think that there were many traitors in China, including Qin Hui, Wang Jingwei, and Yuan Shikai, who were not traitors to the country, but also instigated the unfaithful king to kill national heroes such as Yue Fei and Yuan Chonghuan. Therefore, the quality of the Chinese people was too poor and their culture was problematic. No wonder they were bullied and ruled by others.

But I was wrong.

Those who argue that there are many traitors in their own nation are themselves traitors.

Not to mention the fascist seizure of the armies of European countries during World War II, nor the Turks’ organization of Christians to ravage Europe.

The reason why the Germans opened their country and allowed foreigners to invade them that I mentioned just now was because of religious disputes. If there are extenuating circumstances, then the King of England called in Italian and German mercenaries to the British Isles to suppress Kate's attack.

The peasant uprising is simply a bizarre idea that is inferior to animals. The Empress Dowager Cixi united with the British and French soldiers stationed in China to suppress the Taiping uprising. Although it was traitorous, she would not go all the way to "invite" her. In comparison,

Of the two traitorous "brothers and sisters", Cixi and the King of England, it seems that the King of England has even less integrity and personality.

Alaric invaded Rome, and Rome's national hero Stiligo resisted bravely, but was killed by Honorius, the foolish emperor of Rome (and a mentally retarded person). When Joan of Arc was defending France, she was sold for 40,000 francs by the people she defended.

Gave it to the British--this is a terrible method used by gangsters. And it is disgusting!

Do the French treat their national hero as a whore?! Czech general Wallenstein fought for the Kaiser against the Danish invasion, but ended up being tricked into going to the palace and shot with a poisonous arrow - the same gangster method. Yue Fei was killed,
To be continued...
