”When the soldiers at the bottom level of Xiang Army don't have any combat training missions, they will gather together to listen … ”A storyteller tells a story …”
”The so-called storytellers are actually the older veterans in the army … At the beginning, I thought that they were talking about myths and legends. However, after asking others, I found out that they were all telling stories from thousands of years ago … ”
”Yes, those veterans don't know the words, but they are still able to tell the story of the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, a classic case of war from the Three Kingdoms period …”
”Yes!” That's right... In Europe, this situation is not to say that there is none, but they are extremely rare, especially in Europe, where the lowest level has no interest in history at all … ”
”But not in China, where the lowest level of poverty goes all the way to court officials, who have a very rich store of historical knowledge...”
”What makes me more afraid is that they are innately interested in this thing. They like to hear it, and they also like to talk about it …”
”Though I know very well that those illiterate soldiers who used historical records to deduce the current situation are wrong …”
”But what is scary is this habit. Even if their analysis is wrong, even if their knowledge of history is full of holes... But this habit is too frightening! ”
”Of course you can laugh at people who are drunk and full of nonsense and false theories … ”Yes, you can laugh at them, but you can't laugh at the Chinese habit...”
”Even if nine out of ten were to brag, the sudden appearance of such a talented person would cause the entire Europe to tremble …”
”In a country with a population of three hundred million, if a tenth of its elite reserves were to appear, then it could be said to be an excellent seed … ”Then how do you defeat this country?”
It was no wonder that the explorer, who was able to leave his name in history, could look at the situation from such a tricky point of view. He immediately discovered that the Chinese civilization was very different from the other civilizations.
The Chinese civilization attached too much importance to history. The whole people did not need anyone to advertise or encourage them. The people spontaneously had a very strong interest in history.
The old farmers in the fields, the old soldiers at the fire beacon station in Mo Bei, the merchants traveling under the heavens, the craftsmen working day and night … Even if he was just a scoundrel who had committed all sorts of acts, he had grown up listening to the historical stories of the thousands of years of legacies.
Of course, it was impossible for everyone to become famous masters because they felt that most of the citizens' exploration of history would stop at novels and legends, and many of the analyses were fabricated.
But don't forget, all the elites come from the larger base! With such a large body size, the number of Chinese elites that rose by 1% and 0.1% was unimaginable!
Sai Mouerbeike let out a long sigh, ”In the end, what benefits do studying history have? Many of the lowest classes in Europe just don't understand what the benefits are. They really don't understand what happened between Egypt, Greece, and Rome thousands of years ago. What does it have to do with them? ”
”This kind of thing isn't suitable for eating or drinking, and it can't produce gold, silver, or treasure …” What exactly is it used for? ”
explorer shook his head helplessly. ”They won't understand, because only Chinese people can understand the benefits of this …”
”A people that is proficient in history, a people that loves history... The biggest benefit is that it's not easy to deceive! ”
