Sweep the World

Chapter 818: : Living Gods

If you don't want to destroy a nation physically, the best way is to destroy their culture and at the same time make their original language disappear.

Every nation’s language has its own characteristics. Even if there are no words, some words or slang must have related background stories and allusions. Any story or allusion is actually the history of a nation, and these are not forgotten. , The national culture will be preserved.

There are many culturally and linguistically eradicated peoples in the world. Their genes still retain the genes of their ancestors. However, no matter their values, thoughts or ways of doing things have no connection with their own people at all, it is tantamount to a fundamentally The ethnic group being merged still has descendants. The problem is that it will not be different from disappearing.

  The extinction and integration of the Yanhuang tribe is terrible, otherwise it would not open up such a large living space. It is not that the area itself has no people, but the people who once inhabited that land were either eliminated or merged.

The earth is actually that big, and there are too many types of invincible resources. Even renewable resources need land. If a nation wants more living space, it is squeezing the living space of other nations. That is a life-and-death competition. , Failure is to withdraw from the stage of the world's national forest.

   Liu Yan is a person who has experienced modern information warfare...or cultural warfare. In the era when he lived, Zhuxia culture was not so different from being eliminated. People's values, thoughts, and policies have actually been fully Westernized. But that was also helpless. Whoever allowed Zhu Xia to gradually fall behind during the long process of competition. He didn't want to be completely left behind. Naturally, he had to learn from others.

  Thank you for the debate about whether Zhu Xia has to adapt to globalization and abandon the square characters and use the Latin alphabet. Their persistence prevented the Chinese characters from being abandoned, and at least some of Zhu Xia's culture was preserved. Otherwise, even if some history is preserved, after the characters are completely changed, it is not known whether the original meaning can be passed on.

"In a very long period of time, we are already exporting our culture." Liu Yan is talking about the contribution of Confucianism, but it must be the Central Plains dynasty that can still be strong after repeated rebirth: "For a long time, we The characters of the characters have always been unique in East Asia. Any country or race that wants to get in touch with civilization can only learn our characters. They have learned our characters, and their thoughts are also affected, but sometimes it is inevitable that "Southern Orange and Northern Trifoliate" ''S deviation."

In the Zhuxia cultural circle, the peninsula was actually the most successfully domesticated group to a large extent. As a thousand-year-old peninsula, almost everything is in line with the Central Plains dynasty, and it is also a relatively docile group of many vassal countries; the same is as a vassal country. On the Jiaozhi side, after their independence from the Central Plains dynasty, the long years did not cause much damage to the Central Plains dynasty, but they did not cause much harm; the Wai Lie islands were actually quite meek and even humble for a long period of time. To a bit too much.

  Whether it is the peninsula, Jiaozhi, or the islands, as long as the Central Plains dynasty is strong, they will be well-behaved. They dare to jump because the Central Plains dynasty is weakened. This fully proves that any friendship is imaginary, and only if they remain strong forever can they stand.

Sangyu thought that Liu Yan was talking about the Japanese tribute. He glanced at the kneeling Japanese Japanese and said: "The Japanese first paid tribute to the Central Plains in the second year of the Wei Ming Emperor Jingchu (238 AD). King."

  "Cao Rui?" Liu Yan looked at the group of Japanese people who were kneeling on the ground. Their clothes had obvious characteristics of the Han Empire, but some details were modified: "The widow thought it was the Emperor Cao Pi of Wei Wen."

   There are so many specious paragraphs in later generations that it is difficult for non-experts to tell whether it is true or not.

Liu Yan would like to remember to read an article that I don’t know if it’s a joke. It said that Cao Pi was the first to pay tribute to the Central Plains of Xie Matai. When the Central Plains entered the Iron Age in Ming and Ming Dynasties, Cao Pi gave gifts to the envoys of Xie Matai. It was stranger at the time, and they were the three great artifacts known by Japanese people: the Sky Cong Yun Sword (Grass Narrow Sword), the Eight-Shaku Qiong Gou Jade, and the Yata Mirror.

  Whether it is called the Sky Cong Yun Sword or the Grass Naruto Sword, it is a bronze sword anyway, given to Himihu, Queen of Eimatai at that time.

   It is a kinder thing to give jade to the Japanese people. After all, Zhu Xia has always regarded jade as precious since ancient times.

   The mirror is a bronze mirror. It is rumored that the mirror will be specially added as a gift. It is not because the king of Eimatai is a woman, or the makeup of the Japanese people at that time was too ugly.

   There is no evil horse platform anymore, as for how and by whom, Zhu Xia doesn't care about it. Another point is that the modern Japanese people refuse to admit that they are a continuation of the Yamatai country or nation. Their refusal is also quite reasonable. The ancestors of the modern Japanese people are the Yamato people who are now entrenched on the main island of the Japanese islands near Shikoku Island. Let them admit that they have continued in Xie Matai, so it is ridiculous that modern Han people admit that they are the descendants of the Qiang, Di, and Jie tribes in the Five Huluanhua period. (We solemnly declare that the modern Qiang and Di ethnic groups are not the same as in ancient times.)

   Liu Yan admits that some of the jokes are still valid, and it is difficult for him to admit that Japanese makeup looks good.

  The Japanese nobleman at the scene painted almost the same makeup. One face was covered with white rouge, and both cheeks would have blush. Women would put on a narrow lipstick on their lips. Their makeup looks have a lot of origin. If you look back in time and go back to the ancient pre-Qin era and even the Xian Han, the above-mentioned makeup is exclusive to the court, and folks can paint such makeup on the special day of the wedding, to put it bluntly. A culture lost by Zhu Xia.

   It is very unpleasant but I have to admit that Zhu Xia’s culture has lost too much, but the surrounding ethnic groups that have absorbed Zhu Xia’s culture have been preserved intact.

There is a saying that if you want to see the reduced version of Li Tang Chang’an, you can go to the ancient city of Tokyo; if you want to see the drumming culture lost after the Song Dynasty, you can go to Vietnam to see the drum team; Japanese karate and stick taekwondo, all special What is inherited or improved in Tang's hands; more than these, one mention after another, can almost be written into an encyclopedia.

   "The Japanese people have been following us closely." Yu Yi was talking about the Japanese makeup: "They have repeatedly visited Jiankang for pilgrimage, and the envoys are like this."

By the way, the land of all summers has actually preserved the same makeup. Even the five wild flowers have not been completely "extinct", but now very few people can paint such makeup, and they don’t paint it anymore during the wedding period. Now, only some official prostitutes paint when they welcome guests. Variations of this kind of makeup will appear in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The court has made improvements, but some folks can only draw it by men, but they are used in marriages.

When Liu Yan arrived, he originally thought that he would see every Japanese person holding a fan in his hand, but he thought about it a lot. At present, there is no shadow in the two Song dynasties. Without the Song people’s invention of the group fan, it would not have spread to the Wa Islands. Naturally, the Japanese people did not improve the folding fan, and the culture of the Japanese people holding a fan naturally did not form.

   There is another point. Liu Yan clearly discovered that the Japanese kimono was not the kimono of later generations, but the style worn by some priests of the Yin and Yang Dao. If he had studied history, he would discover that the dress of the priest of Yin and Yang Dao was basically the official uniform of the doctor in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Continent of Zhu Xia and the Warring States Period.

It must be noted that the Japanese did not call the service they wore at the beginning as kimonos. They actually called them Hanfu. The reason was of course that they were improved in Hanfu. They had to go through the Ming Dynasty to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, and then go through the Ming Dynasty to establish the country and wait for the Manchu to call it Hanfu. As the ruler of East Asia, Japanese people are reluctant to call their traditional service as Hanfu anymore, and gave him the name of kimono.

There are even more **** things. For a long time, the Japanese dignitaries didn’t call themselves Japanese or Yamato. They actually thought that they were a Han Chinese, even if they used radicals to make some sense of peace. Kana and katakana are still called Chinese characters. Waiting until the Southern Song Dynasty, Japanese people gradually called themselves Yamato people. The fundamental reason was that they were no longer subject to the Central Plains Dynasty (Southern Song Dynasty), and the two had equal diplomatic status.

   Liu Yan would not follow the Japanese arrangement. He walked over and saw rows of Japanese princes kneeling on the ground with their hips raised up high, but he did not have to follow the arrangement to walk up to the high platform at the specified time.

  The high platform is still the style of Zhuxia. Liu Yan already knows from Wang Ji that the Japanese people are very attentive to building the platform. All specifications and styles are the emperor's model. He repeatedly begged Wang Ji to let Liu Yan go to the high platform to accept the Japanese kneeling.

   Liu Yan didn't even let the Japanese people who were kneeling on the ground get up, not that he deliberately insulted or something. As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he hasn't lost his share to this point. In fact, he completely ignored it.

   "What is this?" Liu Yan stopped when he walked halfway, and pointed to the things placed on the table. Three things were covered by red silk and satin. He opened one of them: "Bronze sword?"

   Wang Ji was appointed Governor of the Wa Islands. What he needs to do is to supervise the mining of gold and silver mines everywhere, and even be responsible for the collection of sulfur and saltpeter. The other is to deter the countries of the Japanese Islands, because the Han is indeed too powerful, and he is the governor. Those countries are too kings.

"Your Majesty, this sword is the sword that Emperor Wei Ming bestowed on the Eimatai." Wang Ji held the sword from the pedestal with both hands, not afraid of being cut without the scabbard, and gave it to Liu. Yan: "This sword was lost several times and was found, and it is now owned by Yamato Country."

   The so-called Yamato country is now a very small country, but from the moment it was born, the ambition of this small country is not so big, it is determined from the beginning to unify the entire island. If history has not changed, they have indeed unified the entire island and governed the Japanese country stronger. In its strongest period, it occupied most of East Asia, and even the Pacific Ocean was once their inland sea.

   It is a well-maintained bronze sword. From the carving, you can see the strong traces of the summer. The blade is sharp, and the blade can even reflect the face when you look closer.

It's just a bronze sword. Liu Yan didn't have his own plans. The significance of its existence is that there was a time when the emperor from the Central Plains canonized a certain Japanese man, leaving a record of pro-Wei Japanese king in history. .

For Liu Yan, even if he has a hobby of collecting ancient swords, it is really meaningful to find the sabers of great emperors or famous generals in history. That is, swords such as Ganjiang, Moxie, and Yuchang sword are also valuable for collection. As for what day Cong Yunjian is almost no different from a piece of broken copper.

The Japanese were also able to use the three "artifacts" bestowed by Emperor Wei Ming Cao Rui on this occasion. They took out the three "artifacts" and wanted to express one thing, probably, "The Son of Heaven, we have always been our own people." ", the extension may be "The concubine body has been stripped and washed, and the honey is wiped off, please come quickly to the lucky concubine body" and the like.

   Liu Yan seemed to remember that the Japanese had been kneeling long enough, and gave Cui Zong an order, and soon someone specializing in rituals yelled: "Everyone is flat."

   There are no edicts or edicts of the emperor, let alone the fate of the emperor, it must be divided into occasions and objects, and the set of "Music and Tianxian" will only appear in the novels.

   First, the Japanese people stood up, and after the last Japanese people, the other Japanese people who had been observing stood up one after another.

  "The Japanese people attach great importance to class~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Although Wang Ji has only been governor of the Japanese Islands for less than two years, he must study the Japanese people: "Their commoners consciously respect class dignity and inferiority. "

  The Japanese Islands are actually in the age of slavery. They will respect the class system instead of relying on good words to persuade them, but they will kill people at every turn to force compliance. Like Zhuxia, even the nobles could not execute slaves at will, but the nobles on the Waley Island could execute any noble and below as long as they were interested. This is to prove the solemnity of the class with blood.

  Don't expect Liu Yan to talk cordially with those so-called kings or nobles, and even the dialogue will not happen. He patrolled, and felt that it was enough before he walked to the high platform. He walked one step after another to the top platform. When he was standing, all the widows at the scene knelt down like wheat.

   "The king of literature is on the top, Yu Zhaoyu is above the sky. Although the Zhou is old, its fate is restored. There are weeks that do not appear, and the emperor's fate is not from time to time. The king of literature comes down, and it is at the emperor's control..."

  Good fellow, Liu Yan is still thinking about what he should do, but the Japanese sang "The Book of Songs. Daya. The King of Wen".

   This is a flattering poem. The author is Zhou Gongdan. It is used to praise Zhou Wen Wang Jichang. It will only be sung on special occasions after it was created. The intention is of course flattering.

   After the song "The Book of Songs. Daya. The King of Wen" was chanted, the Japanese yelled something neatly, shouting again and again, making the act of bowing down.

   "Your Majesty." Wang Ji understood some Japanese language and translated: "They think you are a god."

   Liu Yan's moment: "..."
