Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C1908 Depth of civilization

Civilization is absolutely different from civilization. Depth, breadth, thickness... Acceptance, innovation, survivability, various indicators are not the same, then the fate of civilization in the river of history is also naturally very different.

Although all human beings were equal under the heavens, it couldn't be denied that some civilizations' ability to survive was very low. In the race between the strong and the weak, some civilizations were destined to perish while others were destined to become vassals of other high level civilizations.

European civilization originated in Greece, flourished in Rome, fused in the Middle Ages, was stronger than the Renaissance. It was a civilization that mankind recognized from the beginning to the end.

As for the Chinese civilization, they originated from two rivers and gradually expanded. While absorbing the surrounding foreign cultures, they could also assimilate them, thus forming another unending civilization system.

and the rest of the ancient Indian civilization, the two rivers civilization, the ancient Egyptian civilization... There were also the Southern North America Continent and the civilized nations of Africa. They had all died due to various reasons, some of them directly perished, while some of them were forced to mutate under the suppression of powerful civilizations.

The Middle East was not the most miserable region in the world at the time, the King Yi's intelligence network had once sent a message to Xiao Letian, saying that there was currently a popular human race exhibition in Europe. This exhibition captured a group of aboriginals from the Southern North America Continent, Africa, and even the tropical island of the Pacific, and then gathered them in a zoo for the Europeans to enjoy.

None of the Europeans regarded the natives as human beings; they simply looked at them like animals in a zoo.

The natives eat, sleep, bathe, mate in the fence... Everything was copied in the original native way, and as they watched the naked black women roam the fences, the scorn of the kings of high civilization excited them yet again, when the so-called European happiness was more in contrast to those inferior peoples.

So the question is, don't lower civilizations have the will to resist? Of course not, even people with human nature would want revenge if they were bullied. However, revenge was something that relied on one's strength. When the difference in skill was too great, revenge would become a joke.

The scene of how a long spear with a great blade fought against a Gun's cannon had happened more than once in the history of the human race.

Some people would say, "Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." I can't beat you in my entire life, but I'll do my best to build up my strength, to make my son's generation stronger, to make my grandson's generation stronger, to make three generations of power twisted into a single string, I don't believe that I can't beat you to death.

Very good, these words were very spirited, making people feel unyielding when they heard it!

However, we must remember more clearly that those who can say the words "ten years is not too late, but they are not afraid", those who can understand this principle, have a very high level of civilization.

Basically, only Chinese civilization who was on par with Europe, a nation that had thousands of years of history, could consider a larger national strategy of exchanging time for space and trying their best to accumulate strength.

And for those countries with low levels of civilization, they don't even have basic clans, and their grandchildren don't even know their grandpa's name, nor do they know what the grudges of the previous generation are. To put it bluntly, a civilization like this had too shallow of a root, and was completely unable to resist the infiltration of a powerful civilization. Their fate was to perish and assimilate.

Is that hard to understand? Maybe it was difficult for people to think about it this far in the 19th century, but in the 21st century that Xiao Letian lived in, this kind of "amnesia" that originated from low level civilizations always existed.

For example, during the Second World War, Japan invaded Asian countries to carry out brutal colonial rule. There were countless massacres in Asian countries, but how many people could really hold a grudge against Japan?

The war had already passed for more than half a century. The Chinese and the people of the Korean peninsula still would not forgive the sins of the Japanese. No one would forget those blood debts, because forgetting history was tantamount to betraying.

But at the same time, under the same sky in Asia, the countries of Southeast Asia that were deeply injured by the Japanese invasion were completely different from Chinese civilization.

After only a few decades of war, the citizens of those countries had long forgotten about the blood debt that Japan had created, and even those born after the war could not understand the use of that hatred. They would even retort, "What does it have to do with me to kill my grandfather's generation?"

In the hearts of these people, history is completely useless. Grandpa's generation being slaughtered like a dog has nothing to do with me? I still feel that the money in Japanese's pockets is very good, there is nothing greater than money.

Look, this is the most common 'amnesia' of lower civilizations. It's a terrible disease, almost a chronic cancer of lower civilizations.

There will be people who will have different opinions, just think that I am happy, I will enjoy my whole life, what history, what descendants, I don't care about that.

Very good, very good. The higher civilizations like your way of thinking, because with these 'amnesia' and 'short-sightedness' incurable diseases, they can oppress you generation after generation.

I can beat you up at any time. In any case, you guys will forget about the hatred after a few decades. When you get fat, you can fight again.

The higher the civilization, the stronger the stronger the country would be and the stronger the country would be. And the weaker the civilization would be, the weaker they would end up at the bottom of the food chain.

The bloody history has told us that forget means betrayal. Why can the Chinese civilization last for thousands of years and survive under the rule of the non-humankind for so many times?

He relied on never forgetting history, especially not forgetting hatred!

Because we have this gene in our bloodstream that remembers history, we are able to continuously learn from the lessons of history, and when faced with new problems, we can all find lessons in history that can be used for reference.

When the Japanese, wearing a mask of hypocrisy, showed good will to the Chinese, the first thing that came to mind was that we had fought with this people in the Battle of Baijiakou, in the Battle of Korea during the Wanli period, and in the War of Resistance against Japan in the afternoon.

We will not forget that for thousands of years this island nation has been obsessed with landing on the mainland and expanding their territory.

It is because of the history lesson, so we will shake hands at the same time as the back preparation of a knife! This was the benefit of the entire clan not forgetting history. This also proved the strength of the Chinese civilization from the side, at least the root system was much stronger than other civilizations.

Maybe the branches on the ground were all burnt up and scattered by the enemies in a short period of time, but no one could underestimate the depth of the formation. Chinese civilization's roots still had endless energy stored inside them, as long as there was a gust of spring wind, the branches and leaves would once again flourish.

This was the secret behind the fact that an advanced civilization could live for thousands of years! What about the inferior civilizations?

"What?" What did you say!? Japanese invaded us fifty years ago? "How is this possible? How is it possible that I don't know …"

"Japanese killed my grandfather? Who is my grandfather? "What's his name?"

"Holocaust? "What does it have to do with me? It's not like I've seen it before …"

"Future of future generations? What does it have to do with me? "I'll go drink first …"

Xiao Letian shook his head, putting down his memories of his previous life: "Wang Huaiyuan! "This is the sorrow of a low-level civilization. Perhaps in less than twenty years, the Egyptians on this land will have completely forgotten that one hundred and twenty thousand of their people died tragically under this river …"

"This is a canal made of white bones!"
