Let’s talk about Liaozhai at the beginning, I scared all the fans on the Internet to death

"Teacher Jiang Ning, after the food, what categories are you going to talk about?"

After the food sharing was over, Jiang Ning rested for a few days.

However, Jiang Ning took a few days off from live broadcasting, but many netizens felt uncomfortable.

This is not.

Jiang Ning has only had three days of rest, and a lot of netizens are urging Jiang Ning to continue updating videos or live broadcasts.

Jiang Ning also had a headache: "Niu is not that tired. I only rested for a few days."

"It's been three days of rest. We only have one day off a month. Teacher Jiang Ning, start broadcasting as soon as possible. We can't sleep without you."

Seeing the urging from netizens, Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "Okay."

"Actually, we are not planning to start broadcasting today because it is not ready yet."

Jiang Ning turned on the live broadcast and said to a series of friends who poured into the live broadcast room.

However, many netizens responded one after another: "It's okay, Teacher Jiang Ning, you can just chat casually."

"Okay then, you can buy some small gifts."

"I pfft..."

Everyone couldn't laugh or cry: "Teacher Jiang Ning, what kind of person are you, and you still want to buy small gifts?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said: "Okay, I'm just kidding everyone. You said you want to chat, then let's talk. What are you talking about?"

"Teacher Jiang Ning, let's talk about your old profession, Chinese culture."

"It's okay to talk about this. However, in fact, I have made so many videos and shared so much Chinese culture with you. To be honest, Chinese culture is really broad and profound, and I may not be able to share it all in my lifetime. After the end of food culture , I have the idea to talk to you about our Chinese clothing culture. To put it simply, what kind of clothes did some of our ancients wear, and which clothes are more distinctive. "

"Hey, Teacher Jiang Ning, this is a good idea. As soon as you said it, I became interested."

In the public channel, everyone sent flowers one after another.

have to say.

Everyone is really interested in this proposal.

However, Jiang Ning spread his hands and said, "Originally, I was going to share it with everyone, but then I thought about it, forget it, we'll talk later when we have time."

"Ah...Teacher Jiang Ning, why just forget it?"

"Because I feel that sometimes sharing our Chinese culture with everyone doesn't seem to be particularly effective."

"No, Teacher Jiang Ning, the effect of your sharing is very good. Just like the eight major cuisines you shared with us recently, let's take a look at the food culture in various places recently. How popular has it become? With your sharing, some people say that you directly stimulate 1 point of domestic GDP.”

"Hahaha, that's a bit exaggerated, though."

Jiang Ning smiled modestly: "How should I put it? Let me tell you about my original intention of sharing Chinese culture with you."

After sorting out his words, Jiang Ning said: "At first, I just thought that China has such a splendid culture, and I should share it with more people. After all, there are many wonderful cultures that should not be buried. So I made a lot of videos and live broadcasts, and the results seemed pretty good.”

"But it's far from enough... Just like now, I see a lot of people, even if they accept more of our Chinese culture. But in reality, when talking about a certain topic, they immediately talk about what the West is like. So, no matter how good they are. Of course, it’s not that they think Chinese culture is bad, but they are unconsciously biased towards the West. For example, they think Western philosophy is very good, and they think Western economic theory is also very complete. Technology... Even though our overall strength now exceeds that of the West, many people still think that the moon in the West is rounder.”

This said.

However, many netizens responded one after another: "Teacher Jiang Ning, you said it very well. On the Internet, I see a lot of Western dog licking."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, sometimes when I see their stupid comments, I will be mad at them."

"I was just pissed off, so I ignored them."

This is a very real phenomenon.

The same was true in previous lives.

Just as our strength exceeds the strength of many Western countries by N times, some people are still unwilling to wake up.

The reason.

Or they have been influenced by a series of Western ideas since childhood.

Especially in modern times, a series of Western ideas and technologies have continued to influence the world, and their ideas are even more impregnable.

Even though their country is already very powerful, they still can't see it.

I don’t know how many examples there are of this in Kuai Dou.

When they saw a Western businessman launch a rocket, many people on their knees were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

When they saw their country breaking through the blockade, a group of people knelt down and shouted, "What's the use of this? Will it affect my monthly salary of 3000 yuan?"

When they saw the strong economic growth of a certain Western country, they looked enviously.

When they saw that their country's automobile industry was finally coming through, they felt even more uncomfortable than if their own mother had died.

This is why Jiang Ning does not want to share Chinese culture with everyone for the time being.

It's not that Jiang Ning doesn't want to share.

But Jiang Ning thinks.

If you share it again, some people will still think that what is in the West is what is in China, and what is in China.

Even if they have never been to the West, this is what they think in their bones.

But then Jiang Ning thought about it carefully.

It's not entirely their fault.

After all, sometimes, not everyone can be so rational.

Not everyone is so immune to the influence of Western culture.

in particular.

In the past few hundred years, a series of Western technologies and cultures have continued to influence you and generations of people.

Let alone an ordinary person.

Even some social elites, professors, high-level intellectuals, public figures, celebrities... will be influenced by them.

Then.

Faced with this situation, Jiang Ning thought of a more powerful method.

This method is not to promote and share Chinese culture like before.

This method is to take the initiative, find out the truth, and explore the so-called Western culture.

"Ignore, how can we ignore it? We have to study their Western culture carefully."

Jiang Ning shook his head and said.

"Teacher Jiang Ning, are you still studying?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Yes, we need to study it."

Jiang Ning nodded: "If we don't do research, how will we know what they say is true and what they say is false."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, what do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything. I just want to say that in recent hundreds of years, a lot of Western culture, Western theories, Western values, and even Western history that we have been deeply influenced by may be fake. In other words, they may be forgeries. of."

This said.

The live broadcast room suddenly became a sensation.

"Teacher Jiang Ning, can you tell me more specifically?"

Jiang Ning's words were earth-shattering.

Even Jiang Ning's die-hard fans were extremely shocked when faced with the topic of Jiang Ning.

Some of them couldn't believe that Jiang Ning would say such a thing.

To know.

Western culture has influenced the world for hundreds of years.

How could Jiang Ning say that Western culture is fake and Western history is forged?
But they know it.

With Jiang Ning's knowledge, it is impossible for Jiang Ning to be lying.

But they really can't figure it out.

But soon, Jiang Ning said: "As for the specifics, let me give you an example first, just as a starting point."

"Do you know Aristotle?"

"You know, Aristotle is one of the three Western sages and a master of various Western disciplines."

"anything else?"

"He is an ancient Greek, said to be Alexander's teacher, and an all-around genius. He wrote nearly ten million words of works, covering ethics, metaphysics, psychology, economics, theology, politics, and rhetoric. , natural science, education, poetry, customs, and Athenian law. He is also regarded as the most important person in the history of Western thought. "

have to say. Although everyone who likes Jiangning likes Chinese culture.

but.

Many people are also very familiar with Western culture.

Or even if it's unfamiliar.

They also knew who Aristotle was and that he wrote a series of books that influenced Western thought.

Even now, his thoughts still exert great power.

Put this in China, then Aristotle is the same figure as Confucius.

even.

Put it out in the world.

Maybe everyone knows more about Aristotle and even less about Confucius.

In other words, Aristotle is more famous than Confucius in the world.

However, this is what Jiang Ning wants.

……

"Well said, it seems that everyone knows a lot about Western culture and Western history."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, don't get me wrong, we just understand it, but we naturally prefer Chinese culture to Western culture."

Afraid of Jiang Ning misunderstanding, a group of die-hards also explained.

Jiang Ning didn't mind.

no way.

The influence of Western culture is too great. It is good to be able to maintain your own ideas. Jiang Ning cannot ask everyone to reject Western culture.

What Jiang Ning hopes to see is that when everyone accepts Western ideas, they must have a pair of eyes that can distinguish authenticity from falsehood.

Jiang Ning continued: "It's just that, didn't everyone find there is a problem here?"

"what is the problem?"

"For example, is Aristotle really such a versatile person?"

"This one……"

Everyone was stunned: "He seems to be very versatile. Is there anything wrong with this?"

"Of course it's not right."

Jiang Ning said: "Think about it, are there all-rounders in reality? Of course, there are. But this all-rounder may not actually be an all-rounder. Our all-rounders in reality just seem to be great in all aspects. But this is only for ordinary people. When you enter the industry, you can only be proficient in a certain industry. For example, if you are engaged in business, you may not be particularly proficient in culture. Not very proficient in engineering. If you are engaged in medicine, you may not know much about the Internet. If you are engaged in the Internet, you may not know much about philosophy... In reality, you can find someone who is proficient in both medicine and the Internet. Proficient in philosophy, culture, education, politics, etc.?"

This said.

Everyone blinked.

Don't say it yet.

It really is.

"It seems so."

“Is Aristotle too versatile?”

"It seems impossible that such a person exists in reality."

If Jiang Ning hadn't said anything, no one would have discovered this problem.

Because innately, this is what everyone first came into contact with, and they naturally and completely accepted this point of view.

Especially when you know that Aristotle is a very awesome person, you will feel that Aristotle himself should be omnipotent and versatile.

But Aristotle was also a human being.

If he is a human being, then he is not a human being.

Since he is a human being, he is sometimes not much different from us modern people.

Maybe he may be very good in certain subjects, but it is absolutely impossible for him to be at the top of the industry in a range of subjects.

"Teacher Jiang Ning, maybe people at the time of Aristotle were uneducated, so Aristotle might be more prominent in certain aspects, so he became a top talent in this area, and then in his thoughts Next, it will inspire future generations from generation to generation.”

"You have a point."

Jiang Ning nodded: "But in fact it is not. We can find a series of books written by Aristotle, each of which is very in-depth. If he only had some research, he would not be able to write so professionally. It is impossible to study so deeply, and it is impossible to have so much time to conduct such professional research on so many subjects. Just one study here will take a lifetime, and it may even be impossible to achieve it in a lifetime. ”

"This one……"

No one knew how to respond.

of course.

Their response was not biased toward the West.

These are mainly the views Jiang Ning said today, and some of them subvert their cognition since they were young.

and so.

All of a sudden they still couldn't accept it.

Jiang Ning naturally knew this.

This is like some famous figures in Chinese history.

sometimes.

These famous figures have become god-like figures until now.

He knows everything about astronomy and geography.

But among the series of gods and men in our Chinese history, people all know which ones are true and which ones are false.

But in the West, many people accept it all and think it is all true.

But actually.

No matter in the West or the East, there is no such person.

Even if they are saints, they have only achieved achievements in some aspects, and in other aspects, they may be laymen.

But Jiang Ning was not in a hurry. He continued: "Let's talk about the works written by Aristotle. It is said that there are more than 100 works, with a total of about 1000 million words."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, it seems that there are only 300 million words left."

"Well, even if there are only about 300 million words left, what I want to say is, can he really write 300 million words?"

"Teacher Jiang Ning, although 300 million words is a big number, if you spend a lifetime writing it, you may not be able to write it. Besides, look at some online novel writers now, they can write millions of words in a year."

"Pfft..."

Jiang Ning almost choked: "I mean, where did Aristotle write these more than 300 million words, and what did he use as the carrier of the words."

Online novel authors can write millions of words a year.

That's because of the Internet and the keyboard, which makes writing very fast.

In the era without keyboards, it would not be so easy to write with a pen and write millions of words a year.

Go back again.

Before there was a hard pen, writing with a brush would be even slower.

of course.

It's not just pens here.

What is more important is the carrier of the word.

When there was no papermaking technology, it was not easy to leave words behind.

That said.

Many people on the public channel suddenly woke up: "Yes, Aristotle seems to have been a figure from more than 300 BC. At that time, there was no paper in the West."

"Yes, papermaking originated in China, but even so, our Chinese paper only appeared in the 2nd century BC. It was not until the 10th century that our paper spread to the West. Before there was paper, our ancients either It was written on bamboo slips, or on cloth, or carved on stone or bronze. So, since Aristotle didn't have paper at that time, what did he use to carry his millions of words? "

"Teacher Jiang Ning is awesome. If you don't say that we haven't discovered this, this is too problematic. Before we had paper in ancient times, it was really difficult to spread some books and works. So at that time, even if people Even if they write something, they don’t dare to write anything. They are concise and concise. They are afraid that it will be too long and will be inconvenient to save. Therefore, a series of classics only has tens of thousands of words. For example, the Analects of Confucius only has 1 words. Many words. Zhongyong, more than 3000 words, Xiao Jing, more than 1900 words...and so on, the longest one is about 50 words."

"Idiot, if you put it this way, wouldn't it be true that Aristotle wrote so many books?"

Even if I don’t say it, everyone still doesn’t think about it.

Let's talk about it.

With the wisdom of everyone, without Jiang Ning, everyone discovered a series of problems about Aristotle. (End of chapter)
