Chapter 253: Education of the Great Chu--The Imperial Examination System (Part 1)
Regarding the issue of sheep and wolf, Luo Yongsheng's task assigned to the three people in the Government Affairs Office belongs to the ideological field and takes time to deal with it slowly and also requires subtle guidance from time.
This is not something that can be done in ten or twenty years.
This is like the arrogance of the Chinese people in their bones, which is raised by being the world leader for thousands of years.
As a result, he later became a creditor from all countries to all countries. He was a secretly offensive to China and would lose money even if he was far away. He immediately defeated this arrogance from heaven to dust. The nearly a hundred years of poverty, weakness and suffering history have led China from one extreme to another.
A high degree of self-pride has become a high degree of inferiority complex, and admiration for foreign countries has become the mainstream form.
During the Meiji Restoration period, Chinese students who were selected to Britain and France were ridiculed with long whips, while Japanese students at the same time were respected. At that time, before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, China still had the Beiyang Fleet, which was known as the No. 1894-1895 and No. 3 in the world.
Many of these reasons can be referred to the third perspective. The diary of former Vice Consul Bidege of the US Consulate in China (later served as Li Hongzhang's personal secretary), was included in Puland's "Biography of Li Hongzhang".
From before the Sino-Japanese War to after the Sino-Japanese War, Bidege mediated European powers for the Qing government, causing trouble and effort to negotiate peace talks. Therefore, he has many experiences and experiences, describing the differences in culture, thought, ideology, etc. between the Qing government, the largest Asian empire, and the emerging empire, Japan, in the time of the time.
Therefore, in the subsequent New Culture Movement in China, some people would make the absurd proposition of abolishing Chinese characters, and a large number of students openly advocated the Western theory of God, believing that if China wants to develop modern science, it must overturn and deny the mathematics, physics and chemical knowledge that China has explored and created for thousands of years.
All the knowledge left by our ancestors, including the mathematics, physics and chemistry we explored ourselves, is dross. If it is not dross, why can't China create an industrial revolution?
In the process of learning from the barbarians to control the barbarians, we indulge a large amount of Western knowledge and thoughts into the country. In this process, while we absorb a lot of advanced scientific knowledge, we inevitably develop self-doubt.
Is it that the West is the center of the world?
Why are so much advanced scientific knowledge invented by Westerners?
We have been exposed to new mathematics, new physics, and new science. We use the knowledge to draw on this knowledge and pragmatism to strengthen our country, develop our military technology, and win wars against aggression. This is the credit of knowledge, but Westerners should never be regarded as our saviors.
Never forget that in world history, the earliest mathematical theories of book and system were invented by us in China, and the first to discover and use gunpowder through chemical behavior is also our China.
It is the West where we spread this knowledge to, who just came from behind and then brought us back into contact with us through invasion.
If you cannot understand this, it will prove the correctness of the first two paragraphs.
Because of the hundreds of years of poverty and weakness, the inferiority complex of admiring foreign countries is still deeply embedded in the bones.
It may take decades or hundreds of years for the founding of New China to be cleaned up for more than 70 years. That is a matter of time.
By the same token, Luo Yongsheng wants to turn a sheep into a wolf, or even if he does not turn into a wolf, simply weakening the sheep's nature may take decades or hundreds of years, which is also a matter of time.
The reason why I explained it to the Government Affairs Office is that I hope that the three of you can discuss with you a feasible method to create a new environment as soon as possible. Subtlely, generations can change it later.
Since the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom, I hope this century-long plan can be realized.
The civil officials were concerned about the spiritual aspects, but starting from practical actions, they still had to find military officers.
Luo Yongsheng only stayed with Chen Jingshu and his mother for a few days in the mansion and gave the child who was still in the cradle for a name.
Yuqin, Luo Yuqin.
The same generation of jade, the radical of the character "Ri".
In fact, Luo Yongsheng didn't intend to name his child so particular. The name he gave Yu Sheng at the beginning just seemed to be nice and had a good meaning, so he decided the word Yu Sheng.
The reason why this second child is so settled is what Wei Bingkun said.
"Speaking of the emperor and the princes is a must-have for the general public to discuss the generation. This is an ancient ethics and ethics. The king should not be despised."
Some people may think that something is wrong. Didn’t the emperors of the Zhao family not type?
Look, where are the regular characters in Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Heng, Zhao Zhen, Zhao Ji and others come from?
The reason is very simple, because the Emperor of the Zhao family is pretentious.
They will change their names after becoming emperors.
For example, Zhao Er and Zhao Guangyi, his name was Zhao Jing in the history of the Song Dynasty.
Originally named Zhao Kuangyi, and later Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor. In order to avoid taboos, Zhao Kuangyi changed his name to Zhao Guangyi. After becoming emperor, Zhao Guangyi changed his name to Zhao Jiong.
Not only did he change it for himself, Zhao Er also liked to change it for his children.
But no matter how you change it, as long as you become an emperor, you will give it a new name.
The purpose is to avoid taboos.
Everyone knows that there is a posthumous title in China called "Wen Zheng", which is the top posthumous title for civil officials.
This posthumous title was created by Sima Guang during the reign of Zhao Zhen of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, before Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, no civil minister in China had a posthumous title than Wen Zheng. The highest posthumous title of civil minister was Wen Zhen, and the first civil minister to receive this posthumous title was Wei Zheng.
Wen Zheng changed it because he wanted to avoid the name of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen.
Sima Guang evaluated the posthumous title of Wen Zheng, "The posthumous posthumous title is extremely beautiful and cannot be added." Since then, Wen Zheng replaced Wen Zhen and became the first posthumous title of Wen Zheng. Sima Guang, who created him, got the posthumous title of Wen Zheng as he wished after his death.
The etiquette and etiquette of names are something that is more important to this era. Luo Yongsheng doesn't care much about this kind of common etiquette, but since Wei Bingkun started to persuade him, he was too lazy to be pretentious about this little thing with Wei Bingkun, so he simply gave Chen Jingshu's son a similar name, Yuqian.
As soon as the family matter was handled, Luo Yongsheng couldn't sit still and summoned a group of military officials, including Zhou Bai. The first thing he said when opening the government office was.
"I want to open a martial arts department."
A group of people were busy drinking celebration wine a few days ago. At this moment, they were so drunk that they were so shocked when they heard this.
"Wuke?"
"Yes, martial arts, pure martial arts."
Luo Yongsheng was very excited. He held a memorial, which was the detailed draft plan he wrote at home these days.
"I not only have to open a martial arts department, but also have to run a martial arts school, a military academy, and a command academy. I want to make my martial arts practice and join the army in an orderly manner, just like studying, I have learned from an early age, practiced, and practiced well, and practiced meticulously, and I can still become famous all over the world."
All the generals looked at each other and were excited.
