In the middle of the night, Li Guolou woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep. His mind was turbulent, his thoughts were active, and he lit the oil lamp. Under the lonely lamp, he wrote articles.He has a lot to say, and he wants to tell the Chinese people that the impact of Eastern and Western cultures is inevitable, and he is the guide of this new idea.He didn't want this wave of restructuring to change from one extreme to another, so he wanted to use articles to tell scholars in the Qing Dynasty how important it is to pay equal attention to both Eastern and Western cultures, and to explore new ideas astray and deny Neo-Confucianism Danger.

"The Clash of Eastern and Western Cultures" written on Xuan paper: The Qing Dynasty started from the time when Emperor Tongzhi ascended the throne, and the country's fortunes flourished day by day, presenting a scene of ZTE.Western culture was regarded as an advanced thought, which spread widely in the Qing Empire.

There have been a series of dangerous situations in which Western learning is trying to outperform Chinese learning. I am not opposed to the introduction of Western learning, I have been studying Western learning tirelessly, and I am also actively introducing Western emerging industrial projects.It is not modest to say that Daqing has entered the industrial age, and I have a credit.

Western scientific concepts have their correctness and uniqueness.I think that when learning Western learning, we should follow Chinese learning as the main body and Western learning as the application.Our Qing Empire also has many unique advanced ideas that cannot be surpassed by Westerners.For example: Yin Yang Eight Diagrams is a vivid and vivid model of the nature of the universe drawn by our ancestors.Another example is Lao Tzu's concept of "Tao follows nature" and "doing nothing without doing nothing", which are unique and great ideological innovations in the history of the world. Confucius' lofty ideology and morality are also the sun that illuminates our progress.These essences of traditional Chinese civilization are the most precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese people, the foundation of the Chinese nation's ideology and culture, and the spiritual source of the Chinese nation's independence from the world.

If these foundations and sources are destroyed, it will be impossible to establish a country.Being willing to be innovative while remaining loyal to the old, accepting Western science while maintaining one’s own ideology and culture is the foundation of China’s founding and the source of the prosperity of the Qing Empire.

Regrettably, there has emerged a group of Western-style literati who are happy to completely and completely destroy all Chinese history and culture. Among them are the pro-Western factions who advocate full Westernization, and the revolutionaries who strongly advocate rebellion.In essence, these two factions are completely consistent in wanting to eradicate all old Chinese culture and completely replace it with foreign ideology and culture.

Especially later, the Bible was announced by Hong Xiuquan and others as the guiding ideology of the Taiping Revolution, not only to guide their dictatorship, but also to guide the whole country.In fact, this means that Western learning has destroyed the basic concepts of Chinese learning. The Qing Dynasty lost its own ideological soul, and its cultural foundation was completely shaken. It became a western ideological colony.

I still don't understand how a country that uses Western thought as its standard can be called an independent country?Wouldn't it be a state in form and a slave in thought?How can such a country talk about faith?

When the people of the Qing Dynasty sang and danced again and again to celebrate the great victory of the civil war, I felt no joy at all.The country is broken and the mountains and rivers are broken. The rebels are the chief culprit who split the country, lured wolves into the house, lost power and humiliated the country, and brought disaster to the country and the people for the sake of dictatorship.

It is they who caused the Chinese nation to fight against each other, brothers turned against each other, and wives were separated.But under the banner of being for the Han people and for the nation, our Chinese traditional morality has been slipping again and again.Only those who deviate from the orthodoxy will get into the horns of Western learning.

Noble personality, broad-mindedness, generosity, sincerity, no hypocrisy, no deceit, sincere pursuit of self-improvement, and respect for traditional Chinese civilization are the needs of the new era.

If not, China's ideology and morality will fall into the abyss, and people will sing and dance to cheer for the prosperity of Western learning and the Chinese people to stand up. Many overseas Chinese will return to the motherland with enthusiasm and devote themselves to the comprehensive construction of the motherland.However, the reality is not as good as people think. When people realize that Western learning cannot really bring them happiness, how do they feel?

I often think that the power of belief in war can make our people sacrifice their lives for the happiness of future generations and move forward bravely.I wonder if their faith is still there when they are starved to death?

I wonder if they lost their faith when they were killed by their own people?

I don't even know how many people will still insist that he is a descendant of Yan and Huang when the 5000-year civilization of China is destroyed?

The Chinese nation that has been corrupted by Western thinking is not a descendant of Yan and Huang in the true sense. The unique Chinese nation is always thinking about liberating the whole of China, and always requires people in that piece of pure land to believe in Western thinking. Who is forgetting their ancestors?People can no longer tell the difference. People live numbly in their eroded homes. How many people try to escape from this way of life. Foreign guns and cannons make them jealous. Why are many people pretending to be sober even though they are sober? Confused, how can there be faith in such a society?

Loyalty to the monarch and patriotism are the backbone of the Qing Dynasty. People must stand upright before they can have a spirit of righteousness.Then look at the appearance, the external brilliance is soft power, and the inner strength is hard power.The emperor of the Qing nation is a Manchu, and the people are people of all nationalities. If they love, tolerate, know honor and disgrace, and advance and retreat together, a country has hope.We will be able to strengthen ourselves, love ourselves, work hard, surpass the past, and enter a new era of large-scale industry, large-scale development, and innovation.When Qing Dynasty enters the [-]th century, don't forget the national humiliation, keep in mind the glorious history, strive for self-improvement, and stand tall again in the forest of the world...

Li Guolou wrote tens of thousands of words eloquently, with both bragging and real ideas. Western culture is full of strange things, and different ideas have followers. Those philosophers who write new ideas are all Zhao Kuo who talk on paper.Hong Xiuquan, the heavenly king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was able to preach and spread Catholicism in the Qing Dynasty just by reading a Bible, but he tampered with the Bible beyond recognition and established a new kingdom, which almost destroyed 5000 years of Chinese culture.Li Guolou was afraid that Chinese people would use Western learning to spread new ideas. He wanted to keep the bottom line of Neo-Confucianism and did not want to see the decline of Chinese learning.

I don't know that this article of his has attracted condemnation from all quarters, and no one has said anything good about him.Emperor Tongzhi read it, thought it was a flattering article, and laughed it off.After the Empress Dowager Cixi read it, she thought that he was just a piece of rubbish that was not good enough.History does not depend on individual will. In this matter, Li Guolou is like a drop in the ocean, a speck of dust.

Taking advantage of his good mood, Li Guolou wrote an article "Manjianghong----Warning Tarzan of the Ape":

Boxing matches, arms waving, ghosts and gods frightened.The French Concession, the territory of foreigners, is showing its prestige in Tianjin.Chinese people praise Sai Zilong, a real hero in the writings of literati.Up to now, talking about romantic people and admiring good names.

Staying in the West, also commanding troops.Remonstrance and loyalty, the Qing Dynasty prospered.Waiting for the initial determination of the country, indifferent to fame.Galloping across the northern part of the country, the sand is like snow, and wandering around the south of the Yangtze River.With Wen Lu, I hope that my children will have a long love and tell my heartfelt love.

Li Guolou threw away the writing brush and laughed. He is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. He engraved the Ming seal on the pillar in the living room, allowing the guests to taste his noble character, and Zhuge Kongming would also bow down.Both vernacular and classical Chinese can be written well. Tanhualang deserves his name for such a talent.

Li Guolou lived in a Victorian apartment in the French Concession, in a familiar environment, and lived a two-person world with Xie Liya.Next, there will be a grand celebration banquet held by Jack the One-Eyed Dragon, which will be held at the Michelin Western Restaurant.Li Guolou stayed here for two days to let his complexion return to normal before he was willing to walk out of this door.

It was already dawn, Li Guolou took off his pajamas, looked at the person in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, the familiar yet unfamiliar person, would the bulging muscles turn into fat?Will the lofty aspirations of restraint, abstinence, no indulgence, and no pleasure in things, gradually melt away?Li Guolou looked into the mirror, nodded and said: "I believe you for a while, if there is no temptation, you can do it. Go for a walk!" After speaking, Li Guolou changed his clothes, put on a white shirt, tied his shoelaces, Dressed up and ready to leave room 404.

Go back to the bedroom first, push Shelia who was asleep, and said, "I'm going out for a walk, and I'll come back for breakfast."

"Hmm..." Xie Liya rubbed her sleepy eyes, she couldn't believe that Li Guolou got up early, and asked vaguely: "Xiaolou, is there a lady asking you out in the pavilion?"

Li Guolou smiled and said, "My fourth grandma, where are you going? Even the reporter didn't get up early in the morning. I was in pain all over and couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk."

"No, no, grandma told me not to let you be alone. There are too many shameless women in the French Concession. Wait for me for 10 minutes, and I will take a walk with you." Xie Liya struggled to get up, not letting Li Guolou go out alone.

Li Guolou smiled wryly, and could only sit in the living room and wait for more than 20 minutes.Then he walked out of room 404 with Xie Liya on his arm. The corridor outside the door was quiet. The two guards on duty saw Li Guolou and Xie Liya immediately stood up and saluted them.

Li Guolou said casually: "Thank you for your hard work, go to bed. Didn't any reporters come last night?"

"Yes! No reporter has been here." The two bodyguards saluted again, then turned and walked into room 405 next to them.

Li Guolou and Xie Liya came to the garden in the backyard. In the morning when the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, the air was fresh and refreshing.

The French Concession is neat and clean. The foreigners in the garden wear long sleeves and exercise in silence. There are no shirtless people doing morning exercises.It is completely different from the scene where the Manchu man in the capital greeted him loudly with the birdcage.

Under the polite appearance, how many people lost their bets?Li Guolou nodded, not guessing people's hearts, but enjoying a good mood.

Xie Liya glanced and said: "Xiaolou, don't look at the little old man, talk to me more, where are you going to take me next?"

Li Guolou said: "What's so interesting about the concession, it's just a few houses. I'll take you to the Yuanmingyuan soon, where is the fun?"

Xie Liya shook her head and said, "I've been to the Old Summer Palace, let's change to another place."

Li Guolou sneered and said: "Xie Liya, you have been to the Old Summer Palace as if you have played it. There are only ten days and half a month there, so you can't enjoy it. During the Spring Festival, you go to celebrate the New Year with the Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces and stay for seven days."

Xie Liya still shook her head and said, "I won't go. Those Manchu aristocratic women smoked and choked me to death. I will play mahjong after walking around for a while. I won't play cards with them."

"You, I can't take it out, so what can I say about you." Li Guolou looked at Xie Liya's clear blue eyes with a smile, and he was most relieved by the comfortable British girl who refused to show her face.The other grandmas, he didn't want to know what they were doing outside?

"Grandma, I'm going to live here tonight. And..." Xie Liya told Li Guolou about the trivial matters at home, and it started endlessly. Every grandma had something to do, including her daughter and unborn child. , Even when she was not pregnant, she complained that Li Guolou favored one another and failed to fulfill the obligations of a man.

Li Guolou was dizzy when he got the news that his family would come to the French Concession at night, and finally the two of them lived together, facing the attack of a large family.Li Guolou was perfunctory, not in the mood to listen to such boring things.As they were so hungry, the two went out, found a coffee shop, and ordered their favorite Western-style breakfast.

Li Guolou and Xie Liya sat face to face drinking milk and eating pizza, enjoying a leisurely morning.There is still freedom in life in the concession, and you can go out as you like. This kind of time has long ceased to exist in the capital.

"Hey, when we get old, we still live here. The capital is too depressing." Li Guolou was a little ashamed, he had a patriotic heart, but he liked the life of Westerners.In the face of ideals and reality, his ideal is to live the life of a Westerner, and in reality he refuses to give up the boundless love that only the Qing Dynasty had.

"How wonderful it would be just the two of us!" Xie Liya couldn't help sighing.

"I told them not to come today, but to stay with you for a day." Li Guolou was even more ashamed. He never even gave Xie Liya his personal space, and he even said that he loved her all his life.

"En!" Xie Liya stretched out her jade hand and grabbed Li Guolou's arm. The two chatted intimately. As time passed, Tianjin was a blessed place for their family.The future is far away, and we hope that history will continue on a beautiful track.But time flies, disaster will come one day.
