Chapter 338 The more you want to win, the less you can beat
The afternoon of the third day is the final day of the debate.
When Li Ye and others arrived at the debate finals, Qin Yongsheng suddenly asked Li Ye in a low voice: "Li Ye, have you not slept in the past two days? Why don't you take a nap while you still have time?" ?"
Li Ye said in surprise: "No! How did you tell that I didn't sleep well?"
Qin Yongsheng looked at Li Ye and said, "I can't see it. Come out, but you always feel a little tired.”
"Qing Jing is telling the truth," Li Ye said angrily but also with a smile: "I want you to receive several groups of enthusiastic compatriots every day. You sleep up there while I chat about feelings down below. Can you not be tired?" < br>
Overseas compatriots have been coming to the hotel in the past few days, and most of them can shout out Li Ye's name, making Li Ye like a mascot, being pulled out by Team Leader Zhou.
“I also want to be tired, but they don’t look for me!” Qiao Dapeng held his mouth and pretended to be pitiful and said: “I also want to accept the enthusiasm of those compatriots, especially those with beautiful granddaughters. , the kind old man who came with a lot of gifts."
"Go away~, they are all rabbits, right? I have something good that I didn't share with you?"
< br>“Hahahaha~”
Everyone burst out laughing, which relieved the tension before the game.
Li Ye and others did receive a lot of gifts in the past few days, but most of them were ordinary fruits and snacks, which were all digested by everyone's stomach.
As for this single example of someone as generous as Fu Guiru, everyone is speculating on what kind of person the other person is.
Li Ye also wanted to know her situation, but Pei Wencong never responded to Li Ye. It is estimated that the private detective is not the FBI, and he can find out her details in minutes.
When the final started, Li Ye saw Wu Jinyuan in the audience, and half of what she said floated in his ears.
"Debate competition, no problem."
It seems that there is really no problem.
The two sides of the debate were Peking University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The final debate topic was - Confucianism can coexist with other cultures.
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this debate topic, because Confucianism is relatively popular in Li Jiapo, and Li Ye remembers that according to the original time and space, in the following debates, there were indeed questions about Confucianism and Debate on Western Ethos.
But when Li Ye and others learned about this debate topic, they took it very seriously and were very cautious.
Especially for the opposing side, a variety of response plans have been made.
Because if Confucianism cannot coexist with other cultures, will it be misinterpreted or even exploited by people with malicious intentions?
The negotiations between the Mainland and Britain are not over yet! You say we can't coexist, does that mean it's black and white, and the east wind must prevail over the west wind?
So Li Ye and others are prepared to argue in the direction of "Confucianism and other cultures do not coexist, but have something in common and can be integrated and complementary" once they win the opposition.
But when drawing heads and tails, an interesting situation occurred.
Peking University got the positive result, while the Chinese University of Hong Kong got the negative result.
How can you argue about this?
Hong Kong Island has always prided itself on being a model of "merging East and West". Do you yourself say that two cultural ideologies cannot coexist?
That’s weird! Do you want to remove all Western consciousness and restore the orthodox ancestral culture?
Just kidding, how can that show the generosity and tolerance of our big flower empire?
However, after the debate began, the Chinese University of Hong Kong did not surrender in despair. Instead, it showed a "Tai Chi Yin and Yang Diagram" and proposed a debate idea of "one loses and the other rises" to actively confront Beijing University.
But in any case, the fact that Confucianism coexists with other cultural thoughts has not been questioned at all.
But when He Qiusheng, the third debater of the University of Hong Kong, began to question the summary of the debate, the direction of the wind suddenly changed.
“Throughout history, any successful cultural thought has a strong aggressiveness. The Crusades in the West were as many as eight times. The cause was the collision of beliefs and ideas.
In the East, we had a glorious period of contention among a hundred schools of thought. Taoism, Mohism, Legalism, Agriculture, etc. all had their own strengths, but in the end they only respected Confucianism.
Even during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Confucianism spread southward and northward, suppressing, swallowing up and finally digesting all other regional cultures."
"So if two kinds of thought coexist at the same time, it is not the thought itself. peaceful and friendly, and It is a stalemate formed by the equal strength of both parties, just like the yin and yang stalemate on the Tai Chi diagram."
He Qiusheng suddenly looked at Li Ye and said: "For example, Zhengfang Sanbian, a rising star of the younger generation. The writer, in his novel "Shuo Feng" The expansion and frustration of Confucianism is described in detail in "Flying in the Wind""
"In the novel "Flying in the Wind", it is described in detail that the defeat of Japan at the Shirakawa River led to the invasion of Confucianism into Japan, and finally the complete inclusion of Japan Confucianism Transforming the circle."
But the Battle of Talas described in "Shuo Feng Fei Yang" had another result. Because of the failure of the Battle of Talas in the Tang Dynasty, the expansion of Confucianism to the west was forced to stop. "Li Ye:"."
【It’s so special that knowing oneself and the enemy is always victorious. Is my seven-inch blade actually used as a breakthrough point? 】
Li Ye listened to He Qiusheng's eloquent talk and really admired his eloquence.
If you want to say that Confucianism almost crushed and unified all other cultures in East Asia, you are definitely right.
You said that there is a direct correspondence between thought and power, which makes a lot of sense.
But you have to emphasize the aggressiveness of Confucianism. How can you say such a thing?
【Are you talking about the Confucian threat? Or the China threat theory? 】
Our Confucianism emphasizes benevolence the most. You can't just pay attention to those little flaws. Can you learn benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust first?
In the early 1980s, if someone advocated the threat of flower planting, almost no one would believe it. However, Hong Kong Islanders may believe it. After all, it is too close to the mainland and too far from Britain.
“Now let the affirmative side make a summary of its three arguments.”
Li Ye stood up, bowed slightly, and gestured to the surroundings.
“First of all, I must emphasize the contribution of Confucianism to world civilization and science and technology.”
“According to the "Chronology of Major World Natural Science Events", before the 16th century, many things that affected human life There are about 300 major scientific and technological inventions, 175 of which were invented by flower growers. "
"It is these major inventions and discoveries that have long made the flower growers' farming, textile, metallurgy, and hand-made manufacturing technologies leading the world. Advanced level."
"And Confucianism also left behind a large number of world-renowned scientific works such as "Kaogong Ji", "Tiangong Kaiwu" and so on."
Li Ye didn't speak fast, but every word was clear and powerful.
After he finished talking about the contribution of Confucianism, he added: "In addition, the argument just promoted by the anti-Fang Sanbian through my novel is completely wrong.
Confucianism can take root everywhere, It is not an invasion, but precisely because of its advancement."
"Whether it is Japan Whether it is the peninsula in the north, they have continuously sent Tang envoys to the flower-growing hinterland for a long time, bringing the advanced ideas and technologies of flower-growing families back to their hometowns.
Confucianism has spread to a large extent. Significantly improved productivity, this is a historical fact recorded in various texts"
"And this kind of cultural export and technological export is basically free. Flower growers have never charged any fees or demanded any price because of the outflow of these technologies."
"So Confucianism is not an invasion , but to attract"
Li Ye paused for a few seconds and said extremely calmly: "Others We can't be sure what kind of civilizational thoughts are, but Confucianism is peaceful, full of goodwill, and can and is willing to accept other excellent cultural thoughts."
"."
Li Ye. After finishing his speech and sitting down for two seconds, the applause from around him started. It became louder and warmer and lasted for a long time.
Li Ye's speech was calm and indifferent, as if there was no strong emotional tension, but he always emphasized one point. You guys voluntarily believe in Confucianism, and you have all benefited.
In the subsequent free debate, the Chinese University of Hong Kong was obviously more radical. It cited several regional civilizations that had disappeared in history due to the flower-growing empire, hoping to prove that Confucianism has a strong exclusive nature.
But the Beijing University Debate Team changed their style and just said indifferently, "This is the progress of the times. Their demise is due to their own shortcomings.
If they are good enough and good enough, Being advanced will definitely coexist with Confucianism to this day."
The more peaceful Peking University is, the more aggressive HKU's attack will be, and the coming and going will be exciting.
But what the two debate teams, who were in the middle of the game, didn't know was that everyone around them felt that Beijing University's dominance was becoming more and more powerful and unshakable.
The more enterprising the HKU debaters are and the more they want to win, the less they can shake the Confucian style of Peking University that is indifferent and vast like water.
There have been too many such things in the history of flower growers. The more impatient you are, the more humble I am. I am already so humble, why do you still say that I am a bad person? Why do you still say that I won't give you a way to survive?
On the contrary, you were not impatient anymore, so the elegant and elegant Confucian scholar had to put down his books and pull out a several-meter-long sword from under the clean and tidy scholar's robe.
"Be patient! My knife is very fast and it doesn't hurt at all. After I cut it, you will be your own person."
Confucianism can spread over such a large area of 20,000 miles from north to south, how can it be possible for him to be just a gentle gentleman?
