C804 Horrible public opinion (1/2)

Since ancient times, China has always had a clear understanding of the power of public opinion. People think that the power of modern media originated in the west because of the ignorance and backwardness of Chinese scholar-officials. This is a big fallacy.

In fact, the Eastern Western Civilization already knew about the role of propaganda weapons thousands of years ago. Public opinion tools had to be concentrated in the hands of the rulers, and in the Western Middle Ages, public opinion was controlled by the Holy See, while Chinese public opinion had always been concentrated in the hands of Confucian scholars and emperors.

The imperial government had its own report, and the people had their own Confucian Scholars' Association. The two sides complemented each other and influenced the people's thoughts. Any dissidents would be banned, and there had been very few word prisons since ancient China.

The West must be free and open? Although it was a civil war in the Holy Roman Empire on the surface, the core of it was still Martin Luther's thesis of article 95. That was because the new idea was challenging the authority of the Church, and in the end, was still fighting for the right to interpret Christianity.

Your Church says that the atonement scrolls are useful, but Protestantism denies it. The Church says that faith requires complicated and complicated church rituals, but Protestantism says that faith only requires a person's pious heart. Every single piece was in disagreement with the Church, and the two sides were fighting over the right to interpret God.

Then the war broke out, and that was the most famous Thirty Years War in European history. This war completely shattered the Sacred Roman Empire, allowing this country to appear, turning the German Empire into a loose States, and letting the France have a big advantage.

In addition, it indirectly promoted the rise of European nationalist countries, and a huge rift appeared in theocracy, causing its foundation to loosen.

Tie Zheng's history had proven that all the civilizations in the world valued the power of public opinion. A freer public opinion environment in Europe was not something that was born to be. It was a power that millions of people had fought for after decades of war.

Due to China's special geographical environment and cultural background, the control of public opinion had entered an increasingly harsh situation. In the last year of the Ming Dynasty, there were many schools of study in Jiangnan, and all kinds of new ideas had emerged. However, once the Qing Dynasty came, there were only two kinds of people left who could wield a butcher's knife — one was dead, the other was alive — but as for your freedom, you had to fight for it in hell.

Public opinion was highly concentrated, the word prison was in full swing, and the whole of Chinese thought was completely frozen.

In conclusion, the reason was very simple, because the Qing Dynasty was established by martial prowess, and from the bottom of their hearts, they knew clearly that if they were to bicker with the Han people, they would definitely lose. Let alone them, even the Old Zhu Family, who was also Chinese, was also pushed down by the civil officials.

Manchu who carried Tongus along with them did not want to live in such a miserable state, so they chose the simplest and most direct method to destroy him.

You talk too much nonsense? I cut down with my blade. You're quoting from the book? I'll burn your classics.

Everyone said that the dryad taking care of the Four Treasury Books was a huge achievement, but using the opportunity to take care of it, how many so-called Forbidden Books had he checked? How much was destroyed? This number was too many to count.

The great boss that the Western Civilization had locked up people's thoughts was the Holy See, which was also known as the Divine Right. And the great boss that sealed down Chinese people's thoughts was also known as the Emperor, which was also known as the Sovereign Right.
