Chapter 330 Meeting
(I felt a little uneven in my heart for a while, so I wrote such an article that was nothing. It's okay to write and read it. It's okay if you don't read it. If I finish reading it, I still hope to think about it.)
Muhong has never doubted the high patriotism of some people. Muhong even hopes that everyone has patriotism, because only by loving this country will our country be more stable and energetic. But in the future, a friend told me that her car was scratched, not only her family, but also her community, Japanese cars. I also joked to Lao Fang, fortunately you don't drive a Japanese car.
But with such news, I still want to say, stop this narrow patriotism. Your behavior is not true patriotism, which is almost the same as the Boxer Movement in those years. Many times, we completely misunderstand the order of patriotism. Patriotism is not just about loving this territory. Seeing that someone is going to bully us, we run to the street to smash shops and overthrow cars, as if only this can we show how patriotic we are. Wasn't the Boxer like this in those years? When I ran to people's homes to look for something, I saw a "foreign" thing and said it was "Ermaozi", and I could always say "Seven Maozi". Of course, we don't have the patriotic purity of others. They directly beheaded the "Ermaozi". As a result, when the Eight-Nation Alliance arrived in Beijing, they were stunned to find that what was waiting for them was not the eyes of hatred, but the eyes of the people's liberation. Some people even brought ladders to let them climb the wall smoothly. Perhaps, some people will jump out and say that these people should be killed, because they are not patriotic and lead the way for imperial (harmonious)ism. But we will not see that it was precisely because of the "patriotic" feelings of the Boxer that made the people disappointed with this so-called patriotism.
As a result, we have the Treaty of Xincho, and we have 40,000 taels of silver in compensation. So we feel that we are not as skilled as people, but that everything is not as good as others, so our traditional culture is low, so we have a comprehensive worship of foreign countries. This impact has not been eliminated until now, and it is likely to last for some time.
This situation is actually because we misunderstand the order of patriotic objects.
Mu Hong personally feels that patriotism should first love your people. Because without these people like you, even if the name of the country has not changed, in fact the country has changed. Because the country is first of all composed of Chinese people, whether he is poor or rich, whether he is young or old. Because of them, we have China. And you can't trample on these Chinese people who are weaker than you with patriotism. Remember that they are the first to be patriotic. Without them, your patriotism is just a castle in the air.
To be patriotic, we also need to love our culture. Because of a common culture, we are united; because of a square word, we don't want to be enslaved; because of a " March of the Volunteers", countless hot-blooded men did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives. Half of the country has temporarily fallen, and we can fight back again. Once the fortress of culture is lost, it will never come back. Culture is the bond that connects us. In a sense, culture is more important than the land. On the barrier of culture, it can't be given up. Because we can't afford to lose this fortress. As a person familiar with square characters, I can write some alphabetic words and even write some English sentences. But in my heart, I still think that they are foreign languages, not inherent to me.
The dispute in the Chinese Dictionary this time can be seen. It is even more a failure if we don't review our translation work first, and we take it for granted that this is what it is like. In fact, the translators in the Yanfu era are the most worthy of our respect. In order to translate a word properly, they even did not hesitate to create a corresponding Chinese character. There are many examples in the periodic table of chemical elements.
On the contrary, some people still say that "tank" is not an imported product, and some people also give an example that they don't have our vocabulary. Isn't there "kungfu" (Kungfu)? But you should know that this kungfu is still English, not our Chinese characters. Just like some of our vocabulary, we use translated English vocabulary.
Culture can be communicated, but only in communication. Instead of inheriting other people's culture directly.
The erosion of all cultures is carried out imperceptibly. The erosion of culture is done little by little. Someone took the data in the dictionary and boasted, "Look, look, it's less than 1%?"
Can culture be made clear by numbers? When you give up the Chinese characters, the carrier of culture, then what else do you dare not give up? Why does this happen? One may be interests. But fundamentally, it is still admiring foreign countries.
worship foreigners, and the external expression is worship, even to the point of superstition. Superstitious Western system, Western science. But the root is cultural. I think that Western culture must be advanced and scientific, and even Western literary language is good.
In the end, it is the territory that loves our territory. How to put it, it's not that territory is not important, but that compared with the first two, territory is easy to stimulate our nerves, and it is also the most direct and easiest thing to quantify. Therefore, as soon as we hear the fishing island, our minds are full of anger, and we feel that we are unpatriotic if we don't vent this anger. You don't see, 80,000 miles south of Tibet is just a blank on the map; you don't see, hundreds of reefs in Nansha, only Taiping Island is owned by the Bay; you don't see, Vladivostok in Haikou has now been changed by us into a mouthful Vladivostok; you don't see, the blood and tears of the Kokang people; you don't see, the crying and crying of Indonesian overseas Chinese. At this time, we selectively ignore it.
Finally, I want to say that don't think patriotism is a vigorous shouting. In fact, patriotism is very simple. It is better for your surroundings. It is patriotic to drive the letters out of the Chinese dictionary. Patriotism, with our people, teaching ethnicization, and solidifying our land.
Please put down your fist holding the Love Flag but reaching out to the clan. The order is wrong and the direction is wrong.
(Finally, I apologize. At first, I wanted to write the text, but I knew that the non-text was longer than the text, so I had to put the text in the next chapter. I'm sorry!)
