pinnacle of power

But Liu Qingyu smiled: "Teacher, I believe that as a master of Confucianism, you must also have some understanding of Western philosophy. You know that the reason why our traditional Confucianism in China is still not recognized by many people is that It is because our Chinese traditional culture and traditional Confucianism have experienced nearly a hundred years of academic deconstruction and colonization, which is a very hidden way."

Hearing what Liu Qingyu said, Mr. Tang rolled his eyes, and immediately thought of Liu Qingyu's exam, and said with a smile: "Oh? The traditional Chinese culture has undergone hundreds of years of Western academic deconstruction and colonization. This concept This is the first time I’ve heard of it, Liu Qingyu, tell me how our traditional culture, especially Confucianism, was deconstructed and colonized.”

Liu Qingyu looked at the teacher's eyes shining, and knew that the teacher was testing himself, so he could only bite the bullet and answer.

"Teacher, I only have a little understanding of this aspect. Please forgive me if I am wrong."

"Don't talk nonsense, go straight to the dry goods." Tang Lao's temper is very straightforward.

Liu Qingyu explained: "Teacher, according to my understanding, the modern history of mankind is the history of Western hegemony. The history of Western hegemony has roughly gone through five stages, involving five fields, namely military hegemony, political hegemony Hegemony, economic hegemony, technological hegemony, and academic hegemony. The first four hegemonies are dominant or rigid and easy to detect, such as military invasion in the era of colonialism, political occupation in the era of imperialism, and economic hegemony in the era of globalization. Control, the monopoly of high-tech in the information age, while academic hegemony is implicit or soft and difficult to detect. For example, in the culture, education and academia of a nation or country, non-Western groups are more powerful than Western culture. Under the radiation, infection and pressure of the world, unconsciously or even completely voluntarily embrace, imitate and accept the values, world outlook, historical outlook and various ideas embodied in Western academia.”

Hearing Liu Qingyu say this, Elder Tang's face became serious, and his fists were slowly clenched.

Liu Qingyu went on to say: "Teacher, I have carefully studied that in the current world, except for a very few countries, the hegemony of Western academics has almost invaded all human academic fields.

In universities, research institutes, cultural institutions, academic associations, publishing houses, academic journals, and various media in the non-Western world, the values, ideas, concepts, and rules derived from Western academics occupy a dominant and controlling position. It is an indisputable fact that the discourse power of China is dominating the academic research of various countries in the world today.

Even in the real affairs of non-Western countries, the ultimate rationale behind their behavior still comes from Western academics. For example, the so-called optimal allocation of resources in marketization comes from the "invisible hand" theory of Western classical economic liberalism, international relations The foreign policy of China's major powers to maintain peace by forcefully balancing the power of various countries comes from the "realist international relations theory" based on the original sin idea in the West, and so on.

In addition, although many domestic and international debates and conflicts in various countries in the world are incompatible with each other, the rationale behind them still arises from various academic studies in the West. The debates and conflicts all arise from the debates and conflicts between socialism and capitalism in Western academic thought.

After the end of the Cold War, the ideological conflict between capitalists and social groups disappeared, but the pattern of Western academic dominance in the world has not disappeared. Democracy, freedom, human rights, development and other symbols produced by Western academics are still the strongest voice that dominates the world. The basic rules of academic research and discussion are still produced in Western scholarship.

In short, in a word, we are still living in an era when Western academic discourse dominates the world. Whether we like it or not, each of us has become a person who thinks and speaks according to Western academic values.The impact is still far-reaching. "

Speaking of this, Liu Qingyu said with deep worry on his brows: "Teacher, these things are what I am most worried about. Because if we want the Chinese nation to rise, if we want to truly gain the universal recognition of the world, we need to do the most There are two things, one is to continuously strengthen our economic and military power in China, which is hard power, and the other is to strengthen our soft power? What is soft power? In my opinion, our unique Chinese culture system , the unique traditional culture is what we should develop and grow the most.

In fact, the reason why our Chinese nation can continue to prosper is that many Chinese people can still live well after they go to foreign countries, they still speak Chinese, they still use many of our Chinese traditional things, and they always identify with their Chinese identity , in which our Chinese traditional culture plays an irreplaceable role.

From small individuals to large countries and nations, if we want others to agree with us, we must first have our own cultural thoughts, and we must also let others agree with our cultural thoughts.For us in China, Confucianism is extensive and profound, and Yijing culture has far-reaching influence. The most widely used binary binary of 0 and 1 in computer technology is rooted in the yin and yang thought in our Huaxia Yijing.Our ancestors believed that yin and yang, yin and yang, represent the most basic opposite relationship of all things.It is the objective law of nature, the origin of the movement and change of all things, and the basic law for human beings to understand things.Such as heaven and earth, sun and moon, day and night, cold and heat, men and women, up and down, etc., can all be expressed with the idea of ​​yin and yang, and the simplest two numbers of 0 and 1 also undertake the huge and prosperous business of the computer system.

Including the TV series and texts we see now, including one like, one comment, and even one shopping, one WeChat and one Weibo on the computer. In short, all the data and communication we now use on electronic products are based on The two most basic numbers, 0 and 1, are constructed.

And Laozi said in the "Tao Te Ching" thousands of years ago that there is one, one is two, two is three, and three is all things.Everything bears yin and embraces yang, and the spirit is full of peace. "

Speaking of this, Liu Qingyu said with a bit of loss and sadness: "Teacher, think about it, our ancestors left so many precious assets, it is precisely because of the colonial deconstruction of our Chinese culture by Western culture that led to Many of us Chinese prefer to follow those Western academic ideas, but do not agree with our traditional culture. As a result, many of our Chinese traditional cultural treasures have been carried forward in the hands of foreigners. What kind of irony is it for future generations?"

"To give the simplest example, during the 2016 Olympic Games, the marks left by Phelps' cupping made the world realize the great role of traditional Chinese medicine, and Phelps also proved it with real achievements. Cupping has brought him great results and the ability to repair the body.

But it is very sad that in our Chinese traditional medicine, there have been treatments such as cupping and acupuncture for a long time, but in our Chinese medicine, many people do not agree with it, and they did not go to it until it was shown by Phelps massive popularity.

What does this mean?This shows that various Western academic thoughts and values ​​have successfully deconstructed the colonization of our Chinese people. This shows that many of us Chinese people have gradually forgotten what our roots are under the influence of various Western thoughts! "

When Liu Qingyu said this, Tang Lao Tang Chaoyi immediately applauded vigorously, his eyes were full of appreciation: "Okay, Liu Qingyu, you are right. That's right, our traditional Chinese culture is getting more and more lonely. Behind this, The colonial deconstruction of Western academic thought has contributed a lot to it. What we China needs to do most now is to vigorously promote our traditional culture and let the Chinese people realize that if China wants to never be colonized by the West, if we want to be able to rise and To take off, we must rely on, inherit and carry forward those precious things left by our ancestors.

Actually, for the most obvious example, look at those countries colonized by the West, right?Which country does not have frequent civil strife and constant turmoil, why?It is because under the colonization of Western thought, they have lost the traditional thought of their own nation and country, and it is because they have become the tormentors of Western thought.

I don't deny that many academic ideas in the West still have merit, but elites like Qingyu must realize that we in China must persist in vigorously promoting our own traditional culture and ideas. Not to be controlled ideologically.This is the most fundamental.Only when more people are aware of the problems we have now can we make great efforts to improve them. "

Liu Qingyu nodded: "Teacher, don't worry, the leaders are aware of these problems and are vigorously advocating the rule of virtue. Now our socialist core values ​​are also guiding us from all aspects."

Elder Tang smiled: "Okay, you have passed the surprise test this time, tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Liu Qingyu said with a smile: "Teacher, I would like to invite you to explain our Confucianism culture to Ouyang Fangzi. I want to let her experience the profoundness of our Chinese Confucianism. I hope you can conquer her thoughts in all aspects. Only Conquer her mentally, and our national security personnel will be able to easily obtain results in the next step of her interrogation."

Elder Tang smiled, looked at Liu Qingyu with admiration and said with a smile: "Okay, Liu Qingyu, you have a very flexible mind, and you can learn and apply Confucianism. Okay, let me help you with this." Yes. You wait for me for a while, I will prepare something, I guess it will not be effective within a week or two, I have to prepare for a protracted battle. This time, in order to promote our traditional Chinese culture, my old man, It's also hard work!"

Liu Qingyu clasped his fists and said, "Teacher, whether Guoan can let Ouyang Fangzi speak depends entirely on you. If she can speak, it can save our country a huge loss!"
