Chapter 1214 The central position of the world (first update, please subscribe)
We are Nanyang people!
In the past decade or so, this consensus has been formed in Nanyang. It is this consensus that makes more and more people call Nanyang their home instead of "living" in Nanyang.
It is also under this trend of thought that the consciousness that "we are Nanyang people" has increasingly become the mainstream trend of thought in society. Whether they are Tang people or Europeans, they have all formed this consensus.
But at the same time, Li Yian had to consider a very real issue.
It is the future of Nanyang, or the future of Nanyang.
Where will Nanyang be in the future?
"Eastern Love and Western Rhythm" is the cultural positioning of Nanyang, but it is not just that. Li Yi'an also needs to consider another issue-the roots of hundreds of millions of Nanyang people.
In another world, there are two textbooks, one is from Singapore and the other is from Tang Dynasty in Malaya.
The former is an official-led "de-Chineseization", while the latter has persisted in Chinese education for decades without any official subsidies. There was even a cry like "Culture is the soul of the nation! Chinese schools are the cultural fortress of the Chinese people!"
You don’t have to do anything, but Chinese schools must be established because they are related to the soul of the nation! In the end, relying on donations from the Chinese community in Malaya, the Chinese school continued to operate, and the Chinese community in Malaya became the only region besides mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan to retain complete Chinese education.
With these two examples, of course Li Yian must learn a lesson.
“You are right. The weakening of the connection between Tang people and Tangshan is a slow process. As the first generation of immigrants ages, the second generation of immigrants grows up, and after the third and fourth generations of immigrants, this kind of It is natural to dilute it, and this "dilution" and "dilution" are precisely the roots of this nation. "
When this common root is gone, then the "blood connection" will naturally cease to exist. . Things like "banana man" will inevitably happen. Therefore, reading "Outline of National History" is to strengthen this "root" and trigger an inner sense of identity through pride in national history and culture. ”
In fact, there are precedents to follow. Just like the people who traveled to the South in clothes during the "Five Huanhua" period, the people who traveled to the South maintained their identity with the Central Plains through cultural identification. If there was no What will the cultural recognition of the Nandu people look like?
Therefore, in the final analysis, it is still culture, and it is precisely for this reason that Nanyang needs the "Outline of National History". In fact, in Li Yi'an's mind, Nanyang people are essentially Chinese people who "traveled southward in clothes". This deep-rooted sense of identity is something he is absolutely unwilling to obliterate.
"With this sense of historical identity, the Tang people and Tangshan are connected by blood. But..."
Li Yian deliberately emphasized his tone and said:
"Other than that In addition, another point is that this historical and cultural identity not only involves the foundation of Nanyang people, but also the foundation of Nanyang, or the future. For Nanyang, we also need to build Nanyang friends through Chinese civilization. Circle.”
When referring to the “circle of friends”, Li Yian deliberately made a circle with his hand.
"As we all know, any circle of friends must have common values. After all, birds of a feather flock together, just like the Western world uses Christian civilization to build its basic values, while the Eastern world uses materialism to build its values. Only with common values can we have a common understanding, so that we can work hard for common interests."
Leaning back on his chair, Li Yian said while thinking about another Japan.
In another world, although Japan has created their "flying geese model", in East Asia, Japan is the leading goose, and other countries follow Japan. Under the guidance of the "Flying Geese Theory", Japan has transferred domestic backward production capacity to Southeast Asia on a large scale. The rise of the "Four Asian Tigers" also benefited from this.
However, Japan's "Flying Geese Model" ultimately failed, because Japan's industrial radiation to Southeast Asia only stayed at industrial radiation. He, the leading goose, was only a "leading goose" rather than a "flying goose". head".
In other words, Japan's "flying geese model" is a "flock model". What develops is a group of geese, and they are the kind of individuals who do not agree with the "leading goose". They may be close to each other, but they don't agree with each other. This is also the fundamental reason why the "Flying Geese Model" failed, and it is also the core factor in the failure of "Asian Economies".
Why has Japan never been able to truly build its circle of friends and build an Asian economy?
In addition to Japan itself obeying the orders of the United States and being a dog tied by a chain by the United States, there is another core reason - the failure to export values.
There is no common value identity between Japan and those countries!
Of those countries supported by Japan, which country is willing to take grain from Japan’s fire?
No!
But what about the Western world?
In the 1980s, Reagan imposed a comprehensive embargo on the Soviet Union. Not only did the United States do this, but he also required other Western countries to do the same. West Germany, which had done a lot of trade with the Soviet Union in the past two decades, faced persuasion. At the top of the map, faced with losses of tens of billions of dollars every year, the German Chancellor just answered with one sentence-Germany still belongs to the Western world after all.
In other words - Germany must defend its circle of friends, even if the cost is heavy.
Japan does not have such a circle, but it does, and it can provide the United States with grain from the fire. Thinking about the pros and cons of Japan's "Flying Geese Model", Li Yian continued:
"Then the question comes to Nanyang? What values should Nanyang use to build its own circle of friends, and in the process build an Asian economy that can compete with Europe, the United States, and Europe to the east?
Obviously , there is only one option - Chinese civilization! This option can even be said to be the only one!"
Sitting in the luxurious leather swivel chair, Li Yian looked at the "Outline of National History" spread out on the table. Glanced.
“Thanks to the glorious history and splendid civilization created by our ancestors. In the past thousands of years, areas affected by the Chinese and Chinese civilization were formed in parts of East Asia and Southeast Asia. They used Chinese characters, and the common use of "Chinese" as a written language. The basic elements of the East Asian cultural circle are Chinese characters, laws, agricultural and industrial skills, Taoism, and Chinese Buddhism. These elements have contributed to the language, ideology, social organization structure, and productivity of East Asian countries. The development level has a profound impact.
This East Asian cultural circle was created by our ancestors for more than two thousand years. ”
For Nanyang, these are the treasures of Nanyang - the kind that are exclusive to your circle of friends. It just needs to be transformed according to Nanyang's needs.
Just like the Americans printed "We believe in God" on their banknotes, but in essence, they are just fighting for a united front. To tell those little European brothers, you see, we are the same.
According to the Vatican, the British and American methods are standard heresies. But that doesn't stop them from using it as a banner.
“Although later generations disdain the Chinese mainland after the Jiashen Incident, this circle became fragmented, but it did have an extremely profound impact on Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and other countries, and its influence to all aspects of them.
What Nanyang needs is to build and build a circle of friends in Nanyang based on common values of civilization. Only with common values of civilization can this circle of friends be more stable and not be rootless. ”
Listening to your narration, Lin Jiachao, who has been the mayor of Dongning for so many years, now understands why some policies in Nanyang have been adjusted after 50 years, just like the simplified Chinese characters that were abandoned halfway - the simplified Chinese characters in Nanyang It was not fully developed and even died midway.
However, later, the "Handwritten Running Script Model" was compiled and vigorously promoted among middle school students through the education authorities, so that students could read traditional Chinese and write simplified texts, making the melancholy turtle less melancholy, and the "Model" The running script fonts compiled in are the same as simplified Chinese characters.
Essentially, it is to ensure the identification of civilizations with Japan, South Korea and even places like Saigon, and ultimately, use this identification to build common values, and then maintain each other for common interests.
And this circle of friends is a circle of friends "with Nanyang as the core".
Listening to your narration, Lin Jiachao now understands your far-reaching plan. Perhaps this is the fundamental reason for the rise of Nanyang. It is not about anything else. It is because under your guidance, everyone in Nanyang Every step is extremely solid.
From the beginning, we developed industry and promoted the country's economic development. Later, when the economy developed, we waited for opportunities to expand Nanyang's international influence little by little. Each step was precisely focused on a focus, so that Nanyang could be the smallest Pay and get the greatest reward.
And now?
Your Excellency has set his sights on a longer-term future - this future is no longer just "Nanyang", but "us"!
Just like the United States has their Western world, the Soviet Union has their Eastern world.
Perhaps Nanyang is a member of the Commonwealth, but... the Commonwealth is just the Commonwealth. Nanyang will become a strong player in the Commonwealth, but it is very difficult to "replace" it, and it is an extremely long process. process. Only the Asian world is the real "us".
This is the future of Nanyang!
"Jia Chao, you know what the ghosts are most afraid of is the great unity of East Asia! Because from a civilization point of view, East Asian civilization is the only civilization that can challenge the Western world. History has long proven that this Everything."
Li Yian stood up and walked towards the window.
Looking out through the thick bulletproof glass window, it was already dusk outside the window. Just like this, concentrating on the dusk, Li Yian said slowly.
“There are East Asian cultural circles, Western Christian cultural circles, Orthodox Christian cultural circles, Islamic cultural circles, and Indian cultural circles in this world. But there are only two cultural circles, which were once the center of civilization in the world, with Roman civilization as the The basic Western civilization and the East Asian civilization based on the Chinese civilization were once the center of the world. As for the rest, they were just vassals of the two civilizations
So, now, what we are doing is not only to make our own friends, but also - let us regain our position as a Tang people and the center of world civilization! "
When he said these words, Li Yian's whole expression became a little excited. I don't know when his mentality has changed.
Past For more than ten years, he has been constantly changing from his initial survival to his subsequent foothold, to his desire to build Nanyang into a powerful country, and now, some of the things he desires have changed again. < br>
In fact, this is the change of people's hearts. People will always change as the environment changes.
Now, it is just a status that can match Nanyang's strength in the future.
After all, the Nanyang of today is no longer the Nanyang of the past.
