Chapter 696

Every civilization has its own culture. From clothes to food, almost every detail of life belongs to a part of culture.

Nowadays, only a few civilizations have the concept of cultural invasion. For example, Zhuxia civilization has been doing cultural invasion for a long time. As a result, the countries or nationalities around the Central Plains Dynasty will be more or less affected. Almost every country or nation can see the cultural shadow of Zhuxia civilization.

The means of cultural invasion of Zhuxia civilization can be said to be the most mild. It is to show the height of its civilization and use its own military strength to deter. The means of cultural communication is not bloody, but to crush the backward civilization with absolute advantages.

It is inevitable to learn from advanced civilization in the direction of backward civilization. The Central Plains dynasties of all dynasties are also happy to spread the culture belonging to the Central Plains, resulting in a large Central Plains Civilization circle in East Asia and a larger pan Central Plains culture circle. The direct embodiment is that the characters of a considerable number of countries are Chinese characters at all, and some countries that have been greatly affected have also put on slightly modified Hanfu.

As for the influence of the cultural circle of the Central Plains, the Bangzi state, the Japanese state and the monkey state are the most affected. The three countries have used Chinese characters in nearly 2000 years of history. As a result, after Confucianism became the mainstream of the Central Plains, some Confucianism has been affecting the above three countries.

On the other hand, the clothing of the Central Plains Dynasty has been changing because of the change of dynasties, but it generally continues the characteristics of the clothes of the Han family. One exception is that Li Tang added a considerable number of Hu people and western regions colors, and extended the "Tang clothes" full of Li Tang colors. In fact, there are obvious differences between Tang clothes and traditional Han clothes, which also affected the subsequent Central Plains dynasties.

The influence of Central Plains culture is also reflected in clothing. In quite a number of countries, their upper class society is basically dressed by the dignitaries of the Central Plains Dynasty, and the style is not changed. Even how the rulers of the country dress is supervised by the Central Plains Dynasty.

In fact, the so-called national costumes of Bangzi country, Japan and monkey monkey are the costumes of a certain stage of the Central Plains Dynasty. For example, Japan has continued the Central Plains costumes of the pre-Qin period, while Bangzi country has been the most affected country until the Ming Dynasty. Monkey country is also a variety of costumes full of the characteristics of the Central Plains culture. However, the dress color of the Central Plains culture was changed after the monkeys were colonized by the Europeans, and the characters of the monkey country became the Latin system.

With regard to characters, the Bangzi state later produced an imperfect font during the period of de sinicization, and many pronunciation are actually imported. The pronunciation of a considerable number of words and groups of words is directly copied from Chinese characters. (you can check if you are interested)

However, Japan has always retained Chinese characters. At the beginning, it was all Chinese characters, and the later hiragana and katakana were some complex development processes. At first, they turned into phonetic symbols in order to distinguish aristocrats and civilians. During the period of the people's Republic of China, some cultural people studied Japanese and also engaged in phonetic notation, that is, the pronunciation of radical radicals. (different from the Chinese Latin alphabet, Wan Wan still uses that set of radical)

In fact, we can tell that there are the same places between Minnan language and Hakka language, even the meaning is the same. Then there are some Nanyang pronunciation, and there are some pronunciation of the disappeared nationalities in Northeast China in history. Although some words are the same as those in China, the same words have different meanings.

The Central Plains civilization has been the most advanced civilization in East Asia for a long time. It has long taken for granted the "following the trend" of neighboring countries. In addition, it is difficult for the neighboring countries not to be greatly affected by the Confucian belief that they have always wanted to educate the barbarians.

In contrast to the Central Plains Civilization, other civilizations usually start with religious means in cultural invasion. The Greeks used to be like that, and so are the Persians now. After the rise of Isis, LAN and Jidu, they are even more persistent, to the point that they do not believe in our God is heresy.

In the history of the Central Plains Civilization, there is no national war due to different religious ideas, but in Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East, wars have been breaking out because of religious ideas. If we study it, we will find that it is due to the hegemony of the "single God".

No matter Zoroastrianism or Zoroastrianism, Zoroastrianism and Zoroastrianism in the Central Plains, this religious 1 religion is not a "single God" system, and its aggression is not strong. For the spread of faith, it has the commonness of religious 1 religion, that is, incomparable enthusiasm.

Huan Wen especially learned that there were many Han people who believed in Zoroastrianism. Just like senior officials of the Central Plains Civilization, he thought of solving it at the first moment.

No matter the Central Plains Dynasty, they all regarded religion 1 as a great threat, and it was impossible for any religion 1 to wantonly win over believers. In the history of Zhuxia civilization, no matter what it is, it should succumb to the kingship. Even the first religion should serve the rule of the king. In that way, it is easy to eliminate some first religions and leave the first religions useful for rule for restrictive development.

Of course, Huan Wen could not let the Persian religion wantonly win over believers. He first asked Si Hongzhuang to warn the Persians and then cleaned up the army.

A magical scene happened. The Han people who originally believed in Zoroastrianism gave up Zoroastrianism without any accident after they knew that the official exclusion.

Megapanos was glad to find that the Han people were easy to deceive. He was planning to attract more Han people to become believers. Just before he wanted to hold a major religious ceremony, Si Hongzhuang warned eltaba Marcistius, by eltaba Marcistius expressed his dissatisfaction with megapanos.

"Faith is sacred, and human power should not interfere." Megapanos was very dissatisfied that Huan Wen had not appeared. What's more dissatisfied was that he did not receive enough attention from the Han state: "any disrespect for God will encounter anger and punishment from God!"

Zoroastrianism is the national religion of Sassanian in Persia, and its interests must be bound with most of the top leaders of Sassanian in Persia. That is, most of the top leaders of Persia know exactly what the religion is about. The higher the status of God, the more they don't believe. The reason for their support is nothing more than interests, Then, the existence of religious 1 religions is conducive to their rule over the people.

No problem. The higher their status and status, the more power and resources they have, the better they understand the essence of religion 1. They will defend religion 1 for various reasons, but they don't believe in those gods at all.

Eltaba Mathistius belongs to the kind of high-level people who know why Zoroastrianism became the first religion in the Persian Sassanian state. On some occasions, they will swear to defend their faith and worship when necessary, but like many people, they know what's going on. It's nothing more than "life is like a play, all depends on acting".

"You must make a difference!" Megapanos is playing now, and he is very serious to eltaba Masistius said, "the glory of Ahura Mazda will also be shared by the Han people!"

Ahura Mazda is the supreme god of Zoroastrianism, which means "the Lord of wisdom". It is the Supreme God. It has virtues such as light, life and creation. It is also the embodiment of heaven, order and truth. It created the material world and fire, that is, "infinite light". Therefore, Zoroastrians regard fire worship as their sacred duty.

Just like many religions in the same place, the main god of any religion is very busy, such as creating the world (universe), and although the words and means are different, people are created by them, and then there must be omniscient and omnipotent means.

Eltaba Mathistius knew what megapanos meant. This time, the contact between Persian civilization and Central Plains Civilization was not a trifle before. Due to the emergence of sea route, the two sides will have frequent exchanges, from official to non-governmental exchanges.

The contact of any civilization will inevitably lead to collision. Some of the fierceness is to start with war until one party can't eliminate the other party.

This time, the contact between Persian civilization and Central Plains Civilization belongs to a moderate form. At least as an opening way, the two sides have formed goodwill in some places. However, it does not mean that the competition after the collision will disappear, but not in the form of war.

Persians are located in the middle of the East and the West. They know more about what happened after the two civilizations found each other than the civilizations in East Asia or Europe. It is a comprehensive competition that can be said to come from civilization. Whoever accepts the culture is more than just proving the advanced nature of the civilization of the party, and cannot do without a dominant character. No country or nation will underestimate the importance of the dominant power.

"This is a difficult war!" Megapanos said sadly, "the Han people are a nation with a long history. Their history gives them independence in life and is the most valuable inside information."

The Persians have swallowed many nationalities, and there is no lack of difficulties and setbacks in the process. Some nationalities have lost their own culture after accepting Persian culture. They integrate into Persian culture without the use of force by Persians. They have tasted the benefits of cultural invasion more than once. They are the nation with the most thorough understanding of cultural invasion in all civilizations so far.

On the contrary, the Central Plains civilization has always been carrying out cultural aggression against other countries (nationalities). The problem is that the Central Plains Civilization really does not have so many difficulties or setbacks as the Persian civilization. The Central Plains Civilization "killed" other civilizations and took a rolling water to canal formation, resulting in that the Central Plains Civilization really did not understand and pay attention to the cultural aggression deeply by the Persians.

Eltaba Mathistius was not surprised that megapanos used the word "war". Compared with the fighting of flesh and blood, the ideological change brought by culture is more high-end and cruel.

"I will make the most serious representations to the Han Empire!" Eltaba Marcistius promised first, and then had to say, "but... I'm afraid it's hard to get the answer you want."

Megapanos thought for a moment and said, "power can't stop people from looking for spiritual paradise."

Eltaba Mycestous knew what he was talking about, and megapanos would still engage in religious 1 rituals.

The people from bossashan have their own garrison in the lieutenant Department of pingman school. Because it is the garrison of the Han Army, of course, they can't do anything else. For example, they can divide a military restricted area, but it's not so easy for the Han Army to stop if they want to do religious 1 rituals in the garrison.

"Let them do it." Knowing that the Persians were preparing for the religious 1 ceremony, Huan Wen said, "don't restrict our people, let it be."

In fact, the Persians have invited Han high-level officials, including Huan Wen, to attend. Huan Wen himself won't go at all. He still wants to see who will go.

The Persians made the scene very big. Half of the whole settlement was decorated and a large area of open space was cleared. High platforms were built in some sections, Persian carpets were paved beside the platforms, and viewing booths were also built.

Almost all the places where the colonel pingman can let the Persians move around are publicized by the Persians. The statements may be different, but the purpose is the same, all in order to attract the Han people to go.

"All the tricks and means!" Yuan Qiao really felt that Persians were too good at making things. He shook his head and said slowly, "Meiji, food, gifts... There are all kinds of strange things, which cost a lot."

Huan Wen chuckled and said, "every religion has the same means."

"They are more explicit." Yuan Qiao said strangely, "our religion, at least, taboo women's sex. But they have some saints. They preach that someone may get the favor of saints and spend a spring night with them."

Yuan Qiao didn't talk nonsense. Although he didn't know what happened to Zoroaster, Persians used to really talk about Saint sleeping with Han people in order to attract Han people.

"Why does it sound like a San's 1 religion?" Huan Wen was talking about India's 1 degree 1 religion. He didn't know what expression to use, so he said expressionless, "there are a lot of religious 1 saints in a San, and you can sleep casually for a little money. So is the Persian religious 1 religion?"

In other words, it's not the same thing at all! A San's saint is actually a temple prostitute, that is, a prostitute with religious color. Others have not publicized how pure or noble their saint is. They have long made it clear to the world what the saint does.

"By the way..." Huan Wen thought of something and asked, "the seventy-two are always women. Does it have anything to do with the Persians?"

Yuan Qiao was stunned. He didn't know what Liu Yan had said. He wondered how a woman could always be a woman???
