Tower of Babel
Chapter 173
Puyi finally compromised, but many details were not known to outsiders. Outsiders only saw the two sides, friendly meetings, Luo Qiyan presented gold and silver, and the Nationalist government took back the Forbidden City. The old and young people of the Qing Dynasty complained, who knows how many cultural relics you took away? Not only is this a matter of melon fields and plums, but more importantly, it violates private property. According to the theory of private ownership, the Forbidden City and its internal cultural relics are owned by the Aixinjueluo family. It is private property rather than state property. Even if Puyi burned it, it is Puyi's personal business.
But who cares about these? Anyway, no one cares about the warlords, and naturally no one stands up for the old and young people of the previous dynasty. The overall atmosphere is still quite friendly. The Beiyang government only reported in the newspaper that with the support of General Luo Qiyan, the Nationalist government took back the Forbidden City and will open it to the public as a museum in the future. The complaints of the old and young people did not cause much waves. It was not even as big as the storm caused by another incident.
During this period, Zhang Cheng frequently visited intellectuals of the old era, and published articles in newspapers to affirm the orthodoxy and superiority of Chinese culture, to express his condolences and support for the old era literati, and to call them the guardians of Chinese civilization. Among these people, if they were doing well, such as Xu Shichang, Zhang Cheng would visit them and talk with them, and if they were not doing well, he would offer them gold and silver to hire them as lecturers of Chinese studies.
Zhang Cheng's guards consisted of 30 motorcycles and more than ten bulletproof cars, especially the motorcycle guards, all of whom were blondes. This was very conspicuous in the Republic of China. In history, there was no other branch except Zhang Zongchang, but this Republic of China was different, and Zhang Cheng's guards were by no means comparable to Zhang Zongchang in terms of hard power. They were dressed in bright clothes, with golden badges, ceremonial guns, armored vehicles, bulletproof vehicles, etc., which were much cooler than Zhang Zongchang's.
Such a majestic motorcade came to visit and presented gold and silver, which was undoubtedly a very face-saving thing. However, Zhang Cheng did not pay a visit to the leader of the new generation of intellectuals, Lu Shuren. This was really too embarrassing! Lu Shuren was furious, thinking that he, an advanced intellectual, was ignored, and he criticized Zhang Cheng in the newspaper. He criticized Zhang Cheng as a feudal old stubborn.
At the same time, he was dismissive of Chinese culture, especially fiercely criticizing Chinese characters, reiterating that Chinese characters must be forgotten if China is not forgotten, advocating the pinyinization of Chinese characters, and saying that Zhang Cheng's interstellar communication and pictographic characters are the basic theories are simply nonsense. You can call an alien to let me see, don't talk about other things. What about technology should be based on people and cannot be cut to fit the shoes, etc., can you see it for me? Is it okay for people not to learn knowledge? Is it okay not to adapt to society? Zhang Cheng's theory was devalued to nothing. ···
This cannot be entirely blamed on Lu Shuren. In modern China, local intellectuals were weak and were labeled as backward and ignorant. The new generation of intellectuals who had studied abroad labeled them as feudal and stubborn. Many people supported Lu Shuren. For a time, public opinion was surging.
Pro-foreign intellectuals were divided into three groups, but whether it was the official students sent by the Anglo-American group, such as Deng Shichang and Zhan Tianyou, who were mainly from the Beiyang government. OrAfter the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the rise of the Japanese learning school, such as Sun Yat-sen, Wang Jingwei, and Lu Shuren, were all intellectuals who studied in Japan. And the pro-Soviet faction of the October Revolution.
They who accepted foreign culture had a common characteristic, which was to deny Chinese traditional culture. Britain and the United States used strong ships, powerful guns, and science as weapons. Although Japan originated from China, it not only had a different interpretation of Chinese culture, but also had a lot of voices demanding total Westernization. They mainly cultivated lackeys for China.
The Soviet faction not only demanded that China be completely Sovietized, but also completely denied China in terms of cultural relics. Not only did they demolish the walls of the capital, but they also wanted to demolish the Forbidden City. It was Long Shuai and others who were well-versed in both Chinese and Western studies that did not agree, and only then did they get out of the Sovietization crisis.
It is not to say that any faction is definitely bad and any faction is definitely good. But any faction will be marked with their own foreign imprints and have their own ways of thinking. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was the darkest moment of traditional culture, and even lost cultural confidence, which made many American and Western mentally retarded ways of thinking take root in China in the way that foreign monks chant scriptures well.
It was not until 1935 that the first ray of light began to appear in traditional culture, as the Soviet faction was seriously ill-adapted to the local climate during the war and Long Shuai's thought was established. But the traditional culture itself was still out of touch with the times and needed drastic reforms. Too much should not have been lost along the way.
Many intellectuals lacked traditionalism. Especially in civil law, they abandoned the Chinese legal tradition. They didn't even make references. There were many loopholes in the self-made man. Of course, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The struggle in this is not just a few simple words. Moreover, when the powers cultivated these intellectuals, they didn't have any good intentions. Therefore, in the fifth volume of Long Shuai, it is said that intellectuals can only be used and not trusted. There may be a reason.
Zhang Cheng's strategic vision is one hundred years higher than that of this world. He has already disdained Lu Shuren, the famous person who has brought no exam questions to future students. No matter how good your articles are, no matter how sharp your satire of society is, it is absolutely unacceptable for Zhang Cheng to completely deny the Chinese nation and regard Western people's ideas as destiny. Westerners are not saints. They not only eat and shit, but also do a lot of stupid things. Lu Shuren jumped up and down too happily, dragging countless students to the Russian Embassy to protest Zhang Cheng's interference in China's internal affairs. Finally, Zhang Cheng couldn't stand it anymore and directly ordered the issuance of Chinese character printers in China.
Aren't you just talking about Western mechanical typewriters? Good! I'll show you a Chinese typewriter. Zhang Cheng's Chinese typewriter is not a mechanical printer, but a desktop all-in-one + inkjet printer. It can not only print text but also print pictures. Of course, as a printer, other computer functions are greatly weakened and cannot be used for military and scientific research big data calculations. This is just a private computer with limited functions. But the launch of this product still caused a great stir internationally.
As for how to explain it? What is the principle and how was it invented? Mr. Zhang borrowed from the folk legends of the 20th century. I, Mr. Zhang, watched the Eight Diagrams, Zhouyi and Qimen Dunjia at night, and suddenly I had an idea.I invented this Chinese typewriter. I made it with the Bagua furnace. You can go to whoever you want to reason with. I've sold my TV, what else do I need a game console that can type?
For this reason, the keyboard of this computer typewriter is marked with Chinese element symbols everywhere. The space bar has become two dragons playing with a pearl, the enter key has become a ten thousand gold, the function key has become a tiger talisman, the jump key has become a toad, and the shift key has become Qian, Qian means heaven, and heaven means up! Heavenly stems and earthly branches, Tai Chi Bagua and so on are all on the keyboard.
