Chapter 2865: Cultural Differences between East and West in Zhao Changan's Eyes

"Don't underestimate vulgarity. When people eat, drink, defecate, and urinate, they rest when they are tired and sleep when they are tired. When they are anxious and want to eat houttuynia cordata from the cold stream to relieve internal heat, they have to go into the cave to find water. When they are tired and comfortable, the blockage in their hearts has been relieved and they have to vomit it out. When a woman's belly is big, it must be because she has done that thing with a man. You can regard these as vulgar and crude. But without these vulgarities, you, me and the entire human race would not exist."

Zhao Changan became interested and continued, "Why is it that nature has set up this kind of obligation for male and female organisms to reproduce the next generation, but the whole process is abnormally almost full of the most extreme joy? Logically speaking, obligations are hard, and the opposite is comfortable.

Because this is the result of billions of years of competition for survival of the earth's organisms. If you think it's really fun to do it, you will love to do it. If you do it more, you will have more offspring, and your genes will continue. If you think it's meaningless, you will do it less or not at all, and the entire biological community will slowly disappear.

This actually implies a natural law setting, that is, the biological community, in its spontaneous nature, does not actually regard the responsibility and obligation of species reproduction as important. That is why it is necessary to use this kind of benefit to tempt the biological community to do it. "

"I understand this, but few people, especially an Oriental, would talk about it all the time."

Meng Xuedong did not want to discuss this topic, including Li Xia Ge: "You are an entrepreneur and a businessman, not a sex work enthusiast or sex philosopher. You should not be a person who asks a hundred thousand questions and cares about other people's private affairs."

"This is the huge difference between Eastern and Western thought in terms of sex. Westerners view sex as something beautiful and worth enjoying. Although they also acknowledge that it is the only way for human beings to continue, they pay more attention to the happiness and joy in it, and express it clearly through paintings, sculptures, literature and actual actions. The second thing they care about is the responsibility of passing on the family line.

Men can find mistresses outside without any scruples, and women also have the power and freedom to find lovers. Illegitimate children are everywhere, and men don't mind their women getting pregnant by their lovers outside, and they don't even mind the illegitimate child taking over his property, territory and title.

Therefore, in their ancient paintings and statues, there are a lot of exposed figures, and they do not think there is anything wrong with it, and they praise it. However, they do not deliberately praise giving birth to sons to maintain the genetic continuity and inheritance of the family. "

Zhao Changan was very interested in talking: "In the East, this is considered to be immoral, shameful and disgraceful. Zhu Xi proposed to eliminate human desires to preserve the principles of heaven, but he had an affair with his daughter-in-law and took a aunt as a concubine at the age of 66. It is to let ordinary people not look for women, to eliminate the desire for beauties and women, and women are played by these feudal scholars, landlords, rich people, romantic talents, emperors and ministers.

Why has Wang Mingyang's unity of knowledge and action been advocated for five or six hundred years, but no one takes it seriously except as a decoration? It's because those who are capable of taking it seriously find Zhu Xi's proposal more exciting. That is, I can enjoy myself with my mouth, but you have to endure it with the principle of heaven and human desire. Just like Hong Xiuquan's division of the male camp and the female camp,——"

"It's a waste if you don't become a teacher."

Meng Xuedong also smiled without temper and said: "You give me the impression that you are not busy at all, and you still have the energy to think deeply about the differences between Eastern and Western humanities and thoughts."

"This is doing the right thing. Any differences that appear on the surface have a deep underlying logic. Although it is about sex, sex is the only way for the race to reproduce. There is an old Chinese saying that there are three types of unfilial behavior. In the feudal era, the common people at the bottom of the society regarded this as the most important thing, emphasizing continuity and ignoring its enjoyment. This is exactly the opposite of Western thinking. -"

"Stop, I think your words are actually confusing. On the one hand, you are emphasizing, and on the other hand, you are denying."

Meng Xuedong. "Brother, you are still too young. You don't understand what I really want to say. Many fatal things can only be understood but not spoken. To put it simply, these Westerners can ignore all rules and tear up all contracts at critical moments. They will never allow the true rise of the Oriental Lion. The competition between the top countries on the earth is only about winning and losing, not win-win. Poison, assassination, war, they will not hesitate when necessary."

Zhao Changan looked at Meng Xuedong, pondered for a while and said, "I don't know who that Li Xia Ge is, nor do I know how good she is, but I hope you don't do stupid things like marrying me. The paralysis of the Skull and Bones Society won't last too long, it can give us at most 16 or 17 years. Didn't you say that you would immigrate here in the future, and die here. In that case, have children early, have more, so that if you die, I can take care of them when they are older."

Meng Xuedong laughed: "Sixteen or seventeen years, if it is really that long, then it is basically enough. I miss Zhang Jian when I look for a place to stay, and I wait for Du Gen when I am ready to die. I smile at the sky with my sword, and my loyalty will remain in Kunlun Mountains whether I go or not."

Meng Xuedong only now began to understand the meaning of Zhao Changan's words.

If viewed from an Eastern perspective, their paintings and sculptures often depict naked sexual intercourse between men and women. In the East, although people understand that mating is the only means of racial continuation, they still cover it with a layer of "shame" cloth.

One is straightforward and naked, the other is veiled and hesitant.

To put it bluntly, they pay more attention to enjoying life in the present, so there was a Chinese old lady and an American old lady who went to heaven. One said that she had been saving money all her life to buy a house, but died just after buying the house, while the other said that she had been living in a mansion with a mortgage, and had just paid off the mortgage before she died.

The idea of ​​living in the present and enjoying the benefits is that you will not suffer losses now for the so-called future, while in the East, suffering losses first is a blessing.

The difference is that at critical moments, the West will turn the table and tell you without hesitation that it is going to kill you.

While the Easterners would consider this simple, direct and pure stabbing as shameless, these Western barbarians have long been accustomed to it.

In this kind of competition, the East is clearly at a disadvantage.

Since Zhao Changan and Meng Xuedong both have the dream of a strong country, one goes to the United States like Mr. Tan in the past, and the other stays in the country like old Kangtou who ran away with a lot of wives and concubines.

So now we must have a clear understanding of Western hegemony, and not be naive and naive, thinking that the West really respects human rights and laws as they claim. When we encounter disadvantages, we will hold our noses and endure it instead of jumping up and making a fuss.
