What are the main features of Henan? Thanks in advance!

Culturally speaking, Henan is an area that we can't ignore. It is in this yellow land that the Millennium Chinese civilization in Huang Huang originated and flowed, and then spread all over China. The important position of Henan in the history of China civilization can be explained by a famous saying of a Henan writer: "The people of Henan are the mothers of our people in China". Now, the mother's breasts have been cut off, her age is declining, her face is weathered, and she is curled up in a corner of the loess, which has inexplicably become the object of ridicule by her children. This is really a kind of cultural sorrow. Nowadays, jokes about Henan are flying all over the sky, and Henan has been unscrupulously engaged in a "gossip movement", which is really the sorrow of our whole nation.

It is an embarrassing and heavy cultural phenomenon that Henan people are discriminated against by groups. It's a big joke that the glory of the past and the thick humanities are so easily covered up by a few rumors and jokes. On the one hand, this is due to our terrible ignorance and stupid prejudice, on the other hand, it is also due to Henan people themselves. In the process of modernization, with the inevitable decline of the loess civilization bearing the farming economy, Henan also lost itself, lost in the black hole of history, lost in numbness, lost in the golden mean of self-digestion. The problems in Henan ultimately need to be solved by Henan people themselves. The revitalization of regional civilization lies in the erection of spirit first. Erection requires too much stimulation. At present, we should pay more attention to the present situation and connotation of Henan's spiritual civilization construction. Naturally, this is a profound and broad proposition. But we might as well start by looking for the lost self. The reason why Henan people are from Henan is due to their region, history and blood relationship. Then, let's follow the long river of regional culture, start from the source of individual civilization, follow the footsteps of our ancestors, find the once lost world, pick some treasures of civilization from the long river of history, and cook a good medicine for the spirit. Then, clean the wounds of culture, dig out the evil sores of the spirit, stick them outside and take them orally, and then plastic the spiritual steel of Henan to restore the healthy Central Plains civilization. Let Henan, which has been suppressed for a long time, stand up straight again and announce loudly in the proud Henan dialect: I am from Henan.

Why not?

1. Those Henan people who brushed away the dust of history and walked along the long river of time, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, from the Tang and Song Dynasties, and from modern times, all had strong personalities, and their personalities were distinct. They either looked at the sky and the Tao, laughed at the sword, or used poetry as a pen and a knife, all of which were full of blood boiling, heroic and shouldering the morality of the world. They have always been so warm-hearted, or full of earth-shattering benevolence, or full of compassion for the world. This is reflected in the chivalrous military commanders, loyal to the liver, loyal to the country; Reflected in the literati officials, they are concerned about the country and the people and do their best. This deep affection for joining the WTO, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has always inspired and warmed everyone's heart in China.

Among Henan people, the most famous are Lao Zi and Zhuangzi. Although these two Taoist ancestors also had the heart to serve the country and save the people, they chose the way of "being born". Riding a green ox and swimming freely in the breeze is desirable, passive and evasive, and it is also a bending philosophy of "saving the country", which has always been used by rulers. The so-called "Confucianism outside and Taoism inside" has manipulated China for thousands of years. But as you know, you have a soft spot for the ecliptic, but its "ignorant people" policy coincides with the appetite of "superiors". Faced with a bleak life, many people, more people in Henan, have chosen a more direct and positive way to save the world by virtue of the courage given by the loess and the blood given by the Yellow River.

Tracing back to the source, I think Mo Zhai, the founder of Mohism in the Warring States Period, was the first. Heizhai is from Shangqiu. He advocates equal love between people (universal love) and opposes the war of aggression (no attack). In modern terms, he was probably the first wise man in China who advocated fraternity and pacifism. According to textual research, Mohist school is a paramilitary organization with strict and unique organizational management style, which is probably the earliest gang in China Jianghu. I think these chivalrous people, besides peddling their own political opinions, will definitely do something to "rob the rich and help the poor".

After Mozi, another Henan hero, Jing Ke, made his debut. He is a patriotic man (now Henan Province), and it is impossible to verify whether Mozi is a descendant. We only know that he likes reading and has strong martial arts. At that time, in order to repay the kindness of Yan Taizi Dan, he resolutely promised to carry out the "impossible task"-assassination of Qin. Today, reading the words "the wind blows and the water cools, and the strong men are gone forever" in the history books will still be deeply shocked by the chivalrous atmosphere of death. Outside the pavilion, on the side of the ancient road, the setting sun is like blood, and plain clothes is like snow. A group of literati with high crowns and wide belts stand quietly, paying tribute to an angry Henanese who is gone forever. At that moment, history was frozen and weathered into a beautiful and tragic landscape, which touched us for thousands of years.

In the Tang Dynasty, a large number of brave Shaolin monks rushed down from Songshan Mountain. They protected the Tang king from evil thieves and staged a thrilling and wonderful Shaolin Temple to eliminate rape and punish evil. In the Song Dynasty, another great national hero, Yue Fei, was born in tangyin county. When the white-haired mother-in-law stabbed her son with four Chinese characters of loyalty to the country, she not only branded a strong national spirit in Yue Fei's heart, but also awakened everyone with blood and conscience in China. At that time, Yue Jiajun (there must be a considerable number of hot-blooded men in Henan) was disciplined and brave, so that Jin people could only sigh that "it is easy to shake the mountain, but it is difficult to shake Yue Jiajun". Think about how General Yue's superb golden gun provoked a banner of self-confidence for the weak dynasty, and how the invincible silver hammer of the Yue family broke the warning gong for the barbaric Yi people. And how does the intense and intense "Man Jiang Hong" inspire the outstanding sons and daughters of China to write the song of loyalty to the country from generation to generation?

When history slipped through the 1950s, the melody of Henan Opera sounded on the Korean battlefield where guns were rumbling: "Brother Liu's speech was too biased. Who says women are not as good as men? " Yes, that's the pride of Henan people. Chang Xiangyu, a strange girl, is leading a charity performance. At that time, it was her tireless national tour that raised two planes for the volunteers. Once the patriotic feelings of Henan people are aroused, they can create countless miracles. What needs to be added is that the famous anti-Japanese hero General Ji Hongchang often sleeps in this land.

Among Henan literati, this precious humanistic feeling is most obvious in Du Fu, a native of Gongxian County. This great poet can only be described as great. He loves this land very much. "The wine in Zhumen stinks and the road freezes to death" is his anger at social injustice. "The new ghost is wailing there with the old ghost, which is loudest in the dark sky in stormy days" is his sympathy for the lonely people under the war. "There are thousands of spacious buildings, and all the poor people in the world are happy" is his simplest humanistic ideal. There is also a heavy "three officials and three points", which is still worrying to read today. This is his ironic accusation of tyranny. These beautiful and moving poems have warmed the hearts of many people with conscience in China.

Another example is Liu Yuxi, a native of Luoyang in the middle Tang Dynasty. He is on par with Bai Juyi and has the same interests. He unanimously advocated the new Yuefu movement of "combining articles with the times, combining songs and poems with things". He consciously puts the people first and likes to speak for them. The political satires made are spicy and sharp; Homesickness poems are gloomy and desolate, and the language is shallow and profound; The imitation of folk songs is fresh, bright and unique. And his fellow countryman Yuan Zhen is also such a middleman. Later, there was a Lushan man named Yuan Jie. His poems mostly reflected the sufferings of the people, and he strongly opposed the formalistic poetic style of "suppressing sound and disease, preferring likeness". However, he was too extreme to write modern poems all his life, and his classical poems were dull and monotonous. Although his literary achievements are far from those of his predecessors, the blood of Henan people is still connected.

Among the Henan officials who benefited the people in the past dynasties, the cleverest in the Spring and Autumn Period, the most upright in Bao Zheng in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the most selfless and touching in Jiao, a good secretary of the people. Fan Li, a native of Wan, Chu (now Nanyang, Henan), was a great statesman and strategist at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. He comes from humble origins, but he is absolutely clever. With the assistance of Gou Jian, the King of Yue, he made clever honey tricks, painstaking management and precise planning, and finally destroyed the State of Wu and achieved the hegemony of the King of Yue. But after he became famous, he didn't admire riches and honour and retired cleverly. "Yue Jue Shu" says: Scholars died after Wu, returned and went to the five lakes together.

Biography of Historical Records of Huo Zhi also records: "After that, I traveled to Qi, went to Tao, changed my name, and became rich in business. In his later years, he liked Taihu Lake landscape and fish farming. Author of Ji Ran and Fish Culture. In politics and business, serving the country as his home, this Henan native solved a moral problem of "how to release scholars' humanistic feelings" with his own wisdom and actions. His brilliant thoughts still have a dazzling feeling even now.

How does the black-faced "honest official" of "Bao Longtu sits in Kaifeng" strike a clever balance between principle and human feelings, power and morality, punish evil with fortitude and uphold justice with wisdom? The common people's "conscience of heaven and earth" and "complex of integrity and honesty" are also balanced and comforted by this spiritual idol that once existed in reality.

Lankao county's modern parents, however, use all their life and passion to practice the spiritual ideal of "serving the people". In those hard days, he earnestly adhered to the party spirit, carefully adjusted with his conscience, and carefully filled with actions. Today, this great spiritual coordinate stands in the form of a monument and is preached with rigid slogans. Although lonely, no one can deny its existence.

The Henan native worth mentioning here is Zhang Zhongjing, a native of Nanyang more than 700 years ago. He was regarded as a "medical saint" by later generations. Faced with the bleak reality of war and epidemic, he resolutely chose to save lives and save the world with the simplest ideas and the most sincere feelings, and did what he could. Later, he wrote Treatise on Febrile Diseases, which still has influence at home and abroad. Synopsis of the Golden Chamber was honored as the "ancestor of medical prescriptions" by doctors in past dynasties.

In this ancient and heavy land, chivalrous men try swords, warriors use guns, singers show their throats, scribes throw pens, officials use their brains and doctors use their hands, all under the banner of cracked humanities, holding the last castle of Central Plains civilization with great atmosphere and pride.

In addition to blood boiling, in addition to such generous feelings, Henan people also have their bright side. In the regional culture, Henan literati have always been famous for their magnificent imagination and exquisite and gorgeous writing style.

The representative of this point is naturally Zhuangzi of Shangqiu. This Henan native, who dreamed that butterflies forgot himself and buried his wife in a drum basin, lived a very poor life in reality and even suffered from mental atrophy. People are very thin, live in "poor alleys" and make a living by fishing and straw sandals. However, his spiritual world is so rich and unique. Zhuangzi, a voluminous book, has been a must-read for scholars since ancient times, with beautiful and humorous writing and imaginative Wang Yang. It involves not only philosophy, human relations and politics, but also aesthetics, art, language, biology and health preservation. Both Wen Yiduo and Guo Moruo believe that China's art originated in Zhuangzi, and almost all the history of China literature was produced under its influence.

As we all know, Zhuangzi's articles can really be called unconstrained style. He walks freely in all kinds of time and space and concepts, which makes him comfortable to read. Another feature of Zhuangzi is that he likes to make up stories and be sarcastic. This skill, he handy, very smart. If Zhuangzi lives to this life, I want to face the world's attack on Henan, and he can handle it alone. It is also a well-known fact that the language of Zhuangzi's articles is exquisite. He created many new words and metaphors, which are still loved and quoted by the world today.

Zhuangzi's influence on later literati is enormous, and it is no exception to the literati in his hometown. Li He was a famous Henan poet in the Tang Dynasty. Most of his poems won with fantastic imagination, ingenious ideas and beautiful writing, as if with the help of God, and he was called a genius at that time. However, Li Shangyin, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty (now from Qinyang County, Henan Province), made good use of Bi Xing, with magnificent colors and clever allusions, forming an artistic style with graceful brushwork and far-reaching purport. They are "Although my body doesn't have wings like the bright phoenix, I feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn", "The silkworms in spring will spin until they die, and the candles will cry their wick away every night" and "Must human hearts bloom in spring like all other flowers? Even if this bright flame of love, should it only be ashes? ! "It's all beautiful words through the ages.

In the Song Dynasty, there was another Shi Dazu in Kaifeng, who was good at chanting things and portraying seiko, with both form and spirit. For example, "the powder is heavy, the butterfly stays in the West Garden, I like mud, and Yan returns to Nanpu"; For example, "Look at the faint willows, they should be fragrant and then forget." For example, "I meet the west wind and go to clear autumn every year." These words are so vivid that I can almost feel them. Jiang Kui, a great poet, highly praised this, saying that his words were "wonderful and elegant, with the charm of Li Chang's aid." The cover can be integrated into a family, which will mean two things. "There are countless masterpieces that Henan people can write exquisite words. For example, in Liu's Moonlight Night, "The sound of insects penetrates the green screen window" and Song Qi's "The branches of red apricots are in spring" are beautiful and lovely sentences.

Naturally, you need inspiration and talent to write beautiful poems, but both are indispensable. As long as you are willing to suffer, you will still get something. In this respect, Jia Dao, a native of Fanyang, Henan Province, is an example for us to learn from. Let's see how people lament that "singing a word and breaking a few stems and whiskers", and even in difficult times, they have the determination and perseverance to "sharpen a sword for ten years". Hard-working people are rewarded every day, so those who are willing to work hard can naturally write "When I questioned your students, under a pine tree," my teacher, "he replied," went to pick herbs. " However, through these clouds, how can I know which corner of the mountain it is facing? "A masterpiece of eternity. The allusion of "scrutiny" is also because the old gentleman loves learning and is willing to ponder. It is said that one day, Jia Dao was puzzling over whether the words in the poem "There is a monk knocking at the door under the moon" should be knocked or pushed, but he accidentally bumped into a high-ranking driver. The soldier pulled the old man to the big officer and asked him why. The official laughed and was moved by his rigorous academic spirit, inviting him back to the yamen to study together. This official is Han Yu, a native of Mengxian County, Henan Province, and one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties.

Today's Henan literati either inherit and carry forward their ancestors' feelings of saving the world, for the people, for virtue and for home. Their writing style is as simple as death, and their thoughts are so heavy that people want to cry. Or continue the unique and exquisite legacy of the Tang and Song Dynasties. The article either seeks beautiful charm and wonderful spirit, or seeks exquisite vividness, flowing with exquisite folds. But anyway, as far as I know, they are very serious, and they are a group of cultural people with the most rigorous and persistent creative attitude on the road of writing. Every time I read their articles, or treat them like people, I can't help but feel a little warm.

In addition to these splendid humanities, Henan has several cities to be proud of. In a sense, the civilization of Henan is also based on the civilization of these cities. Such as the simplicity of Anyang, the beauty of Luoyang and the exquisiteness of Kaifeng. However, it is difficult to find some historical coordinates of these ancient cultural cities with thousands of years of history. The only thing that can be measured may be to dig three feet and dig those ancient tomb sites. As a result, the inheritance of a thousand-year-old civilization is so awkwardly scattered on piles of ruins. Sweep away the dust of a thousand years, consult the notes of our ancestors, and try our best to piece together the light of civilization that once shone on this land in the obscure Oracle Bone Inscriptions, on the rusty bronze tripod, on the broken walls and the debris. Yin ruins, commercial capitals, battlements in Wei and Jin Dynasties, official kilns in Song Dynasty, how many glories and civilizations, how many tears and humiliations were all buried in thick sand and disappeared in several time and space due to frequent wars and the flooding of the Yellow River.

Anyang is most famous for the discovery of Yin Ruins in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. This ancient city with a history of more than 3,000 years was once the political, economic and cultural center of the late Shang Dynasty, and also had a rare prosperity. It is not difficult to infer the bronze treasure from there, whether it is shape or craft. It's just that that era is too far away from us, and we can't seem to get anything more than imagined pride and mottled cultural relics. But the cultural heritage of the atmosphere still exists. There is a "Renyi Lane" in the old city of Anyang, which was once the ancestral home of Guo Pu, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that when the Guo family built the house next door, it occupied a wall of the Guo family. However, the Guo family was so close that they quarreled with that family until they went to court. Local officials are afraid that both sides are bureaucrats and dare not try, so the two families continue to argue. In desperation, the Guo family sent someone to Beijing to report the matter to Guo Pu, and Guo Pu immediately wrote back. But when the Guo family opened the letter hopefully, they didn't expect it to be such a few lines: "A book in a thousand miles is just a wall, why not let it be three feet?" The Great Wall of Wan Li is still there today, but I haven't seen Qin Shihuang. "With this alley, Anyang connects the cold cultural relics with the realistic humanities and gives it enough confidence to face the changes and honors of this world peacefully.

Luoyang is probably the proudest city in Henan. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty successively established their capitals here, which is known as the ancient capital of nine dynasties. In my opinion, most of the small imperial courts with their capitals here are in a peaceful corner, such as Wei, Jin and Tang Dynasties. Or a weak dynasty, such as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. This embarrassing reality is also the reason why Luoyang city is not angry. More unfortunately, this small court had to be eliminated and ravaged again and again in the historical integration of reunification, and Luoyang, as the capital, was the first to bear the brunt. It is no exaggeration to say that Luoyang is the most tragic city among many historical cities in China. The history of Luoyang City is also a history of blood and tears that has been repeatedly destroyed. In this regard, the ancients lamented: "If you want to know the rise and fall of the world, please see Luoyang City." In the killing of Kingoma Iron, history cannot be preserved and culture cannot be continued. Especially after the Song Dynasty, with the economic and cultural migration to the south, the Yellow River suddenly diverted and flooded, Luoyang lost the opportunity to rise again forever. The glory of the past will be sealed in the memory of history forever. Today's Luoyang, it is difficult to find traces of its former prosperity. All we can mention is the unique peony in the garden, the lonely White Horse Temple in the suburbs and the Longmen Grottoes with vague traces, and there is no witness of civilization.

In my opinion, the most glorious moment of Luoyang should be a good time for the Han and Tang Dynasties as the most important capital. After all, she served a complete and powerful dynasty at that time, and she also had time to dress herself and maintain herself. At that time, she was probably one of the most beautiful and spectacular cities in China. Rich people rushed to copy Sandu Fu, which made Luoyang paper expensive for some time. This is Luoyang in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, "painting pavilions and red mansions, pink and green peach blossoms on cornices", and this is Luoyang in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Luoyang, a flower city where "the emperor's family blooms every year", can only be found in cold ancient books and reappeared in a dream. Kaifeng is luckier than Luoyang, because although she served some similar small dynasties, she served a Northern Song Dynasty with the most developed culture and economy in the world in 150 years. Anyone who has seen The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is amazed at the splendor and prosperity of the imperial city. What is shown in the picture is only a small corner of the imperial city.

Bianjing in those days had an outer city and an inner city. Thirteen miles outside the city, seven miles inside the city, and twelve gates around the city. There is a moat around the city, which is 100 feet wide. On both sides, elms and willows, and white walls of Zhumen are hidden among green trees. There are four rivers passing through the city, mostly from west to east, the largest of which is Yanghe, and the grain of Anhui and Henan Plain is transported on this river. The sluice on the river closes at night. All the streets in the city are accessible, and there are guards every 100 yards. On the river flowing through the city, carved and painted wooden bridges are connected. Pedestrians are bustling in the street, and official cars, ox carts and sedan chairs are constantly flowing in the street. Sitting on a woman's ox cart, the curtains are pulled down. The imperial city has a characteristic that you must wear a hat. Even if you are as humble as a fortune teller, you should dress like a scholar. Think about it, what a wonderful picture it would be if the riverside scene on Qingming Festival reappeared.

Today's Kaifeng City has no trace of the Song Dynasty except the abrupt iron tower. The unparalleled prosperity of "spreading green crowns and twisting golden snow willows" in the heyday of Zhongzhou is gone forever. There are many sailboats in the canal and acrobatics in front of Jokhang Temple. It has also become a vague impression of distant time and space.

However, today, as an inland city, the lakes in Kaifeng are still beautiful. Poems, calligraphy and paintings hanging around the city, vivid border shows and rich food culture clearly show that the Central Plains culture is in the same strain, and it still continues with strong civilization inertia and tenacious vitality. When it comes to Henan and cities, it is natural to mention the hardships of Zhengzhou, the provincial capital. However, as a city, many people in Henan don't like Zhengzhou. They feel that they have no background and no characteristics. They just stood awkwardly on the land of the Central Plains, with no manners. The existence of Zhengzhou seems to be only the significance of a transportation hub. It seems that it is far from mature enough to bear the burden of politics, economy and especially culture.

At this point, we found an embarrassing fact, that is, Henan, a populous province and a province in the Central Plains, could not find a matching spiritual coordinate to be symmetrical and a matching modern city to represent it. Specifically, Zhengzhou is a city without soul, and Kaifeng is a city with only soul. Speaking of Luoyang, there is nothing but history.

Henan, which has lost its spiritual orientation and cohesion of civilization, is increasingly divided. The embarrassment of Henan is not limited to these. The most embarrassing thing is that in such a land with rich humanistic spirit, Henan people can't form a positive personality of the group. Scattered on the ground, crooked teeth and pouting are just some solid diseases left by the civilization of small farmers. Henan people who have lost their humanistic orientation and spiritual coordinates have to be helpless, and some are unwilling to bear the burden of humiliation.

4. In the long river of Henan regional culture, the convergence, collision and integration of humanistic spirit sometimes inevitably lead to some deviation and embarrassment. The earliest embarrassment came from Yu Gong. At the junction of northwest Henan and Shaanxi, there is a king of Wu. According to legend, the story of Gong Yu moving mountains happened here. Comrade Mao Zedong spoke highly of Yu Gong's perseverance. At that time, Gong Yu's wish to move mountains was based on the premise that his incense was immortal, that is, his descendants were infinite.

In the 1950s and 1960s, perhaps because his old man had a special liking for this story, he put forward the important instruction that "many hands make light work". At that time, everyone's consciousness was very high, so they actively carried out the instructions, and everyone was proud of exceeding the task. According to the information I read, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the population of almost all provinces and cities in China has more than doubled, with the least growth in Shanxi, which only increased by nearly one third, and the fastest population growth in Henan Province. According to official statistics, in 1949, the total population of Henan Province was 41740,000, but in 1996, it reached 91720,000, nearly 2.3 times, making it the most extraordinary province.

As descendants of Gong Yu, Henan people probably have a simple superstition about population. Many hands make light work, as the leader said. This seems to be true. In 1950s and 1960s, the famous Hongqi Canal was excavated by Henan people. It is said that it is the longest artificial canal in the world. Can't so many people complete such an important event?

Another embarrassment is Lv Buwei, a great businessman in the Warring States Period. He was from Huaiyang, and he was definitely a successful businessman at that time. That is, without the knight's sword and the traveler's clever mouth, if you make friends with powerful people at that time, a bulging purse is probably the only and most effective "capital". Boss Lu's biggest deal is to give an illegitimate child to Qin Gong as a prince, which is the Qin Shihuang who later unified China.

He is definitely an ambitious man with a strategic vision. Being able to make speculation so decent and vigorous is by no means comparable to ordinary people. He was a businessman, and he was also the prime minister of Qin State, and asked his disciples to compile a famous work in the cultural history, Lv Chunqiu. If you add that bastard, your achievements are really extraordinary. However, personally, he is a failure. All his actions, in the final analysis, are only a speculative act of trading power and money, which is naturally unreasonable. Everyone knows that he finally died for no reason. It didn't end well from the beginning, which is probably the fate of all speculators.

Even regardless of success or failure, regardless of means, his historical position alone is somewhat embarrassing. In the eyes of historians, most of their interests are concentrated on his adventure legends and speculative talents; Even the book "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" is involved, and it is also a deliberate description of his planning genius and arrogance. Although he used to belong to the Qin Dynasty, it is only mentioned slightly in the history books, and only his business can be affirmed. In the eyes of the people, they are more curious about his ambiguous relationship with the winning mother and marvel at his life's adventure miracle and incredible investment vision.

As a businessman, this poor Henan native is not as successful and authentic as his compatriot Fan Li, so he naturally can't stand that kind of respect. Being a politician is purely a product of trading power and money. It is a reward you grab after your successful speculation (rewarding yourself and comforting yourself), which naturally loses its due weight. And writers, this is even more difficult to say, at most only exist in name only. So ... The boss, Lu, went down in history so lightly and was embarrassed for thousands of years.

Lv Buwei's embarrassment did not affect his fame. With such a good tutor and such a good case, there was no shortage of speculators and careerists who followed his example from the beginning. China's political arena has also added a bit of cigar smoke and some ridiculous farce; Businessmen in China are also stimulated to be unwilling to do business well. Either you are willing, or you are unwilling to wink at the "cooperation between government and business", or simply throw yourself at each other, which is also very busy and chaotic. Theoretically, Lv Buwei's greatest contribution is to verify the possibility and necessity of speculation. Probably because of him, the industry discrimination of "all businessmen and all traitors" began in the traditional society of China.

In the humanistic sense, Cheng Ying and Cheng Yi, two great scholars in the Song Dynasty, were the most dislocated. These two old gentlemen, who speak strong Henan dialect, vigorously carry forward the theory of "The Analects of Confucius governs the world and a half" by Guo Pu, the founding father of the Song Dynasty. They can never put the whole world in one Analects. Under the yellow light of Songyang Academy, two old gentlemen thought hard and tried to prove it. They are like an industrious old farmer, keeping the moral field in China clean and tidy. Thus, Neo-Confucianism was born, and the literati's thoughts began to be illiberal. Here, I don't want to deliberately deny the academic and philosophical achievements and positive significance of the two old gentlemen, and I absolutely admire their personality charm and initial motivation. Unfortunately, I don't know whether it is the stupidity of future generations or the ulterior motives of the leaders above. The four books and five classics, the golden mean, gradually lost the fresh fragrance of the hole and gradually weathered into a smelly and hard old tofu. Although, in the next seven or eight hundred years, many scholars are still chewing happily. But I still don't like it, and many scholars can't like it either This is quite different from the original intention of the two old gentlemen, and it is also their most embarrassing place. Even today, the former Great Sage can only hide in the pile of ancient books and lament. Songyang Academy, which used to be busy, can only recall those sunny days in the desolate cold.

The only consolation is that the villagers in Henan have not forgotten them. They are almost obsessed with the "golden mean" that can understand everything. As far as personality is concerned, the golden mean will be transformed into a generous and wise virtue when it is bound by reason, and will become a spiritual opium of enterprising and self-deception when it is infinitely magnified. The biggest embarrassment of Henan people is also here.

Reflecting on traditional culture and questioning the historical plate, we only hope to get some enlightenment from our ancestors, re-establish self-confidence, and then boldly abandon innovation and shape a more open and healthy group personality in the fire of nirvana. The ultimate goal of examining history is to pursue the modern humanistic significance behind its culture. Those burning historical scars are expected to give acupuncture spirit self-awakening, and those brilliant achievements of civilization can also inspire forge ahead. In any case, we still have a long way to go to produce regional culture and reshape group personality.

I remember a hundred years ago, a western philosopher criticized China, saying that "China people will always be static people". This view is somewhat biased. But from the perspective of self-awakening, have we ever reflected on how much people in this land have changed in personality and spirit since the Millennium? 2 1 century today, along the ancient Yellow River Road (is it right next to the ancient Yellow River Road? ), still so many familiar faces, numb and slightly sly, simple and honest and open-minded. These folks who gave birth to me and raised me, as a group image, were like this a thousand years ago and will be like this after a thousand years. In this new millennium, we will continue to discuss this embarrassing cultural group, just hope that the time will not be too long, don't forget where you come from, and don't be ashamed of yourself. Speaking of this, I can't help but think of a sentence that General Feng Yuxiang, the chairman of Henan Province, particularly emphasized when formulating policies in Henan Province 80 years ago: education is the foundation of building a country.

Yes, education, only education.
