Chapter 184: Xu Fu Persuades Surrender in Naval Battle

Since the cultivation of Wende, everyone in the eyes can be my race.

Chinese nationalism can be traced back to before Confucius. "Shangshu" says: "(After Dayu controlled the waters) there was no idleness and no famine, and the four barbarians came to be kings"; "Yi is called Yi in the east, Rong in the west, Man in the south, and Di in the north."The issue of distinguishing between "civilization" and "barbarians" is known in history as "the distinction between Hua and Barbarians".At this point, Wu Gou wants to clarify the ideas of this book for everyone.The thought that this book concentrates on expressing lies in the nation.

Chinese nationalism has a feature that is very different from Western nationalism, that is, it is not judged by race, but by culture (ideology).After Confucianism became the ruling ideology of China, the concept of distinguishing the same race from other races by blood in the slave society basically disappeared.Confucius said: "It is not as good as the death of the Xias to have a king in the barbarians." It means that although the barbarians have a king, they do not understand etiquette; Minority regime rule.

When the Sui Dynasty unified China, the Han people no longer referred to their rulers as "barbarians".Regardless of the Sui and Tang dynasties, although the rulers were descendants of the Han nationality, it was inevitable that they would intermarry with the Hu people in the Hu land. Therefore, no matter how many ethnic minorities had blood, they were all recognized as orthodox dynasties, which had a great relationship with the "discrimination between Hua and Yi".As long as the ethnic minority regimes accept "propriety and righteousness", they are one family.In order to prove the legitimacy of the regime, the minority rulers of the Yuan and Qing dynasties proposed in the Yuan Dynasty: "If you can use scholars today, and you can practice the Chinese way, you will be the master of China." The barbarians belong to the barbarians; barbarians and barbarians belong to China, so they belong to the Chinese.” Therefore, the traditional Chinese national view also opposes the concept of blood lineage, so it is superior to the barbarians.Therefore, the Chinese nation can become a multi-ethnic concept.

In modern times, China was invaded by Western countries, and Sinocentrism became increasingly marginalized with the deepening of colonization. The emerging national bourgeoisie wanted to oppose feudal autocracy, and it must negate Confucianism. Doctrine replaces the traditional Confucian view of the Chinese nation.From then on, nationalism based on ethnic groups became the slogan of the bourgeois revolution, the most famous being "drive out the Tartars and restore China".This is clearly the slogan of Han nationalism.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, in order to maintain unity, the concept of "five ethnic groups co-prosperity" was put forward, which is actually a kind of nationalism based on regional identity.That is to say, the people living in the land of more than 1000 million square kilometers in "China" are all "China".

The dream of the "Emperor Han" is to see the whole China, where everyone wears Hanfu, wears Han hair, wears Han crowns, and wears Han shoes.Barbarians, barbarians and barbarians are all seen chasing China's ears.All Han people belong to the territory of China.Pass the formal style, traffic etiquette.Those who do not respect the Han in the Siyi despise them like ants.The protection of Han culture is as important as the protection of other ethnic cultures, but the Han people should not have any privileges in this regard.To revive Hanfu is not to wear it every day, but to pass it on as a national heritage like Tang poetry and Song poetry, and to pass it on like other national heritage.Moreover, this kind of inheritance should not carry any ethnic prejudice or discrimination. National equality and national unity based on the working class are the consistent goals of communists.

No one prevents the Han people from preserving and inheriting their own cultural traditions, which is the right of every nation.But in the same way, other ethnic groups should have this right, and the Han people have no privileges at all.There is no privilege to force other ethnic groups to obey Han culture and ideology.

Whether it was the Yuan Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, or the Northern Wei Dynasty earlier, or even the once powerful Xiongnu, the cultures of these ethnic groups have either completely disappeared, or have disappeared in real life, and have become "Han people" with the blood of ethnic minorities. or face extinction.What do you think if you are a Hun or a Manchu?The superiority of the Chinese culture of the Han nationality comes from its promotion of social development, but this advantage cannot exist forever. When it hinders development, it will inevitably lose its charm.

There is also the issue of ethnic identification.In other words, what counts as a Han nationality?Why is the Han nationality fused with so many nationalities, but still called the Han nationality?If it is explained by the concept of blood relationship, it does not make sense. There may be very few purebred Han people left.If you emphasize the identification of blood, it is as abominable as Voldemort and his Death Eater lackeys who emphasize pure-blood wizards.
