C2847 A solidified class! (2/2)
The true history of mankind has long been solidified by the classes. The important means to divide mankind is through blood ties. Since you were born in a noble family, you are naturally a part of the future aristocracy.
You were born in a shoeshine family, so you'll spend your whole life dealing with leather!
Why is the European royal family so popular about consanguineous marriage? This was actually a method of protecting the purity of one's bloodline. No one would let a lowly commoner's bloodline get mixed in.
At that time, the royal power was bestowed by God, and the religions of various countries also supported the theory of class consolidation. The combination of religion with a double brainwashing process in reality had completely numbed the people of that era.
Hopeless numbness is the most terrible thing in the world. What is the real social reality in ancient Europe? It was the hope of countless commoners that they would not change their class. They would not even have a single dream.
This kind of pressure was too brutal. The citizens of every class would try their best to stay within their own ranks, and no one would even dream of breaking through the ceiling and jumping into the upper ranks.
In this way, the ancient Chinese people were quite bold, as you can see by the folk proverbs.
'They were willing to part with their lives and they dared to drag the emperor down!
'Wang Hou, General Xiang Ning has a seed! '
'The Emperor takes turns, and comes to my house this year! '
These outrageous words simply did not exist in Europe. Under the suppression of the monotheism, the people of Europe did not dare to have such crazy thoughts.
He didn't even dare to think about it! What a desperate society!
This was also the reason why the intellectuals in ancient Europe greatly advocated the Confucianism and imperial examination system of China!
Not to mention that the imperial examination system of the Ancient China was lagging far behind, it was exactly this kind of system that made all the intellectuals in France look forward to it. It was really hard for them to imagine how China could provide a way for the lowly people to be promoted to the next class.
Was the son of a farmer to be a farmer for the rest of his life?
Shouldn't the children of carpenters, masons, and cobblers be the children of the fathers?
Why do you think emperors and generals can appear in the lowest group of Chinese people? This was unreasonable!
But this kind of reasoning was too alluring!
Everyone knew that the imperial examination system could not solve the problem of the upward movement of all the lower classes, but it was at least a hope! It was better than being completely blind, right? It was better than total despair!
It was in this repression, in this visionary expectation of the Eastern system, that the Renaissance and the Great Geographic Discovery combined.
The French Revolution that was shaking the entire human society exploded!
The reason why the French Revolution was so important was actually because of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights!
It was precisely because of the popularization of the concept of 'all men are born equal' that there would be a prosperous era in which people broke out of the cages of the classes and moved through the ranks of the classes!
And Na Polunbonaba was the witness or the one who added fuel to the fire of this era!
