C1070 The beauty of China, in the middle of summer! (1/2)
China, China! What exactly did China mean? Actually, according to the literal understanding, the Chinese character represents the meaning of bustling, gorgeous and magnificent, while the ancient Chinese character represents the meaning of a middle country.
The popular translation was a place situated in the center. It was rich in materials, beautiful clothing, and a bustling life.
This was a sincere praise from the four tribes of ancient times for the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Think about it, the barbarians in other places are still using their hands to eat raw meat.
The people of other tribes were still wearing beast skins, but the Huaxia Tribe could already weave some coarse linen. Not to mention the attractiveness of crops such as millet and rice, which were suitable for farming in the Yellow River Basin.
Just like that, China became a part of the Chinese nation, and it had always been the Chinese civilization annexing the foreign races around, so why not the foreign races annexing China?
Actually, the root of the problem is here. The Chinese tribe represents advanced productivity, advanced culture, and a better life. This kind of life is in line with human emotions.
So even if the alien race could temporarily occupy China's territory with their army, they wouldn't want to ruin such a beautiful and comfortable life. That was why it had always been the Huaxia annexation of the alien race. Sooner or later, the alien tribes would have to accept the annexation.
Isn't it natural for a good life to replace a barbarous and backward life?
At that time, people had already known that these Central Plains people who had inherited the Chinese civilization were Chinese. The Chinese people did not represent that group of people's bloodline, and that only proved that this group of people had indeed inherited the essence of China, and that it was a honorific title.
Later on, when the Tang Dynasty became powerful and prosperous, the overseas countries would also be honored as the Tang and Song people.
To put it more bluntly, since ancient times, China has been the most comfortable, most elegant, most prosperous, most beautiful synonym for life. Whoever can inherit all these things and even expand, that means you're China's Zheng Shuo, this has nothing to do with bloodline.
Xiao Letian had proposed the concept of a Chinese race in order to abandon all the chaotic racial classifications and directly search for the origin, which was the root of Chinese civilization, the core of that spirit.
”We want to build a happy and beautiful secular world, we want to inherit the Chinese characters, so our people should be called Chinese! And today, we have already passed the The Age of Great Navigation, and the geographical discovery has ended. We have to admit that China is not the center of the world, so the word Xia doesn't really apply anymore.
”From now on, we will no longer inherit the core thought of this hypocritical world. We have to admit that there are many more outstanding races and powerful civilizations on this earth …”
”But we want to inherit the spiritual core that our nation has survived to this day! It was that Chinese character, the most elegant, the most prosperous, the most gorgeous. It was the type of goal that every Chinese should have … It is because we want to protect this life that we want to build an army and a strong country, and that is why we sacrifice our lives … ”
”Everything is for the sake of the Chinese, the dream of the Chinese!”
Sima Yun's voice was so loud that it intimidated everyone present, causing Xiao Letian to sigh in his heart, ”This sullen, calabash like Sima Yun is indeed extraordinary, there are some people like this who can't even utter three sentences a day, but at critical moments, he can actually use the power of his voice to shake the crowd!”
Sima Yun had this unique charisma. He didn't like to speak, but when he said it, it gave off a sense of majesty!
”What is Chinese? Anyone who speaks mainly Chinese and approves the spirit of the Ryukyu's Chinese Order and accepts the restrictions of the Chinese Order, regardless of region, nationality, skin color, or race, can apply to be registered as a Chinese … ”
