Text Chapter 1424 A Lost War
Qin Lang's body couldn't help trembling. The words "Cultural Invasion" made him startled, and even a little cold sweat broke out on his back. There is no doubt that Cai Yan is a wise man, which also means that he may have seen some things that ordinary people and even high-ranking people may not necessarily see.
Nowadays, with the changes of the times, the collisions between civilizations are not like before. In the past, the collisions between civilizations were accompanied by swords, lights, swords and countless killings, but now war is no longer the theme, because the plunder of war Although it is very direct, it may result in a lose-lose situation. Therefore, the collision between civilizations and countries today is reflected in the invasion and compromise of economy and culture.
The collision and invasion of these levels are too complicated, but Qin Lang knows that what Cai Yan said is absolutely true, because Cai Yan pointed out the problems of today's society with just a few words, and Cai Yan casually said "cooking oil ", "milk", "oil" and other words, these words represent that Huaxia has lost the pricing power of these industries. Obviously these things are sold domestically, but the prices are set by others.
It seems that Cai Yan is not a person who reads by heart at all. This old man may seldom leave here, but he still understands the situation of the country and society very well, and he sees it more thoroughly than many people. The country's economy has indeed developed rapidly in recent years, but in the process of development, we have also sacrificed a lot of precious resources, even at the cost of the environment and human lives. However, even if the economy has reached the current stage, we are still under the control of others. Only those foreign financial oligarchs can get huge dividends from China's listed companies every year. These even include our state-owned enterprises, such as several large banks. At that time, the benefits of foreign funds were simply unimaginable.
The economy is only one aspect, the real horror is the invasion of civilization and culture.
This is the scariest thing!
As Cai Yan said, our basic necessities of life seem to be being completely westernized, even education. There was a time when learning a foreign language was raised to an unimaginable height:
It turns out that learning foreign languages takes more time than learning Chinese! So much so that the parents of the students even have to spend high tuition fees to let the students learn foreign languages from an early age.
This is actually a ridiculous thing.
What is language? Language is the cornerstone of a civilization and the foundation of a culture. And as a Chinese, it takes more time to learn other languages than the native language. What is the inheritance of the native culture and the civilization of thousands of years?
What is even more frightening is that when we learn about other civilizations, we do not hesitate to lose the most precious things in our own civilization, thinking that these things are the shackles attached to us.
"Our people have lost 'humility', 'kindness', 'friendship', etc., and even the most basic 'filial piety, loyalty, honesty, righteousness and shame' of our Chinese nation have been lost. Many of our people have become mercenary. A mercenary What hope is there for the nation? Look at the things on the table, there are still a few things that people can eat with confidence. This is the many adverse effects brought about by cultural invasion. Now how many people still read the Chinese Those sage articles are all busy watching cartoons and TV shows of foreigners fighting and killing, saving the earth and the universe. It is really sad! And the saddest thing is that it is difficult for us to learn the essence of other civilizations, but we see some The dross was brought in." After Cai Yan finished speaking, he let out another long sigh.
Originally, Cai Yan was not such a sentimental person, or because Qin Lang was also considered a half-confucian disciple, so he sighed a little more.
Cai Yan's words were a bit "complaining", but Qin Lang knew that these were not complaints, but the truth.
We keep saying that we are learning the advanced things of Western civilization, but instead of the advanced things and spirit, we have learned some messy things, things that many gringos don’t bother to do, but we enjoy them with gusto.
On the contrary, the "dregs" we discarded are picked up one by one by others, and they are regarded as the essence of their own nation. For example, the characters "stolen" from China by the Japanese country, who knows that most of the characters in the Japanese country are Chinese Hanzi evolved. Another example is the tea ceremony that Japanese people talk about, the kimchi that South Korea eats with relish, and the "Huaxia Porcelain" that shines in the world. These things originally belonged to our cultural essence, but they were picked up by others bit by bit. empty. Even South Korea claims that the Confucian sage Confucius is all South Korean, and they are planning to apply for World Heritage, which is to take away all Confucianism.
It can be seen that in the collision of civilizations and civilizations, in this cultural war, we have become losers, and there is no doubt about this.
The cultural war should have harmed each other and "communicated" with each other, but what everyone saw was the continuous import of foreign blockbusters into China, the constant bombardment of foreign books, and some foreign so-called "literary and artistic films" everywhere. Flying around, but our electricity and our culture are still in the country. Many people also deceive themselves and say that it is because of the limited level of film production in their country. That is a joke. Even India's "Bollywood" can produce blockbuster films such as "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Three Idiots". , but we can't do it. Occasionally, there are a few people who can be regarded as famous directors, but they are in the United States.
If you lose, you lose. In this battle of economic and cultural collisions, we are the losers. This is beyond doubt.
However, although Zhonghuaxia lost this battle without gunpowder, there is still hope.
Just like the awe-inspiring righteousness that Qin Lang felt in South China United University, there is still awe-inspiring righteousness in most of China's primary schools, middle schools and universities. This shows that the spirit of Chinese scholars is still there, and it also shows that Confucianism and The foundation of national studies is still there.
A temporary loss does not mean that everything is lost. Chinese culture and civilization still have a chance to rise after all.
However, there is a lot of resistance, not only from foreign cultures, but also from some so-called "elites" in China. Although these people are wearing Chinese skins, they call the United States "beautiful father". Advocating that everything in the United States is good, it seems that the hamburgers in the United States are better than the Manchu Banquet.
Old man Cai Yan's grievances are over, and the next step is to do practical things.
Originally, Cai Yan had no way to interfere with the luck of Confucianism. He could only wait for the disciples of Confucianism to rise again, because as long as the seeds and roots are still there, Confucianism will naturally rise and prosper one day, even though Confucianism suffered destruction decades ago It is a devastating blow, but the country is broken, the mountains and rivers are still there, and the green mountains are still there, and there will be hope one day. Now, Qin Lang appeared. Although he was not a disciple of Confucianism, he brought new hope to Confucianism, and this hope was only held by Cai Yan.
"Cai Heng! Come in!" At this time, Cai Yan ordered to his son.
