Chapter 812

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

Every nation's language has its own characteristics. Even if there are no words, some words or slang must have relevant background stories and allusions. In fact, any story or allusion is a nation's history. If you don't forget these, the nation's culture will be preserved.

There are many nations that have been eliminated from culture and language in the world, and their genes still preserve the genes of their ancestors. However, whether in terms of values, ideas or ways of doing things, they have no connection with their own nation, which is equivalent to a fundamentally integrated nation. The nation still has descendants. The problem is that there will be no difference from disappearance.

The number of ethnic groups destroyed and integrated by Yanhuang nationality is terrible. Otherwise, it would not open up such a large living space. It is not that there is no one in those areas, but the people who once lived in that land, either destroyed or integrated.

In fact, the earth is so big that there are too many kinds of non viable 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 the stage to withdraw from the forest of nations in the world.

Liu Yan is a man who has experienced modern information war... Or cultural war. At the time of his life, Zhuxia culture was not much different from being eliminated. People's values, thoughts and policies had been fully westernized. But that is also a helpless thing. Who makes Zhuxia gradually lag behind in the long process of competition and doesn't want to be completely left behind, naturally is to learn from others, that is, learn all regardless of excellence and dross, and even absorb a little more dross.

Thanks to that debate, Zhuxia should also adapt to globalization, abandon square characters and use Latin letters. Their insistence kept Chinese characters from being abandoned, so that some cultures of Zhuxia were at least preserved. Otherwise, even if some history was preserved and the characters were completely changed, I don't know whether the original meaning can be inherited.

"For a long time, we have been exporting culture." Liu Yan is talking about the contribution of Confucianism, However, the Central Plains Dynasty has been reborn repeatedly and can still be strong: "for a long time, our language has always been the unique language in East Asia. Any country or race that wants to contact civilization can only learn our language. They have learned our language, and their thoughts are also affected, that is, sometimes there is a deviation of 'South Orange and North Orange'."

In the Zhuxia cultural circle, the peninsula is actually the most successful domesticated group to a large extent. As a millennium dependent country, the peninsula is almost in line with the Central Plains Dynasty, and it is also a relatively docile group among many dependent countries; The same is the Jiaozhi side as a vassal state. After their independence from the Central Plains Dynasty, they did not add much blocking to the Central Plains Dynasty for a long time, that is, they did not cause too much harm; For a long time, the Japanese islands were actually very docile, even too humble.

Whether it is the peninsula, Jiaozhi or the Japanese islands, as long as the Central Plains Dynasty is strong, they will be clever. If they dare to jump, it is the decline of the Central Plains Dynasty, which fully proves that any friendship is empty. They can stand only if they remain strong forever.

Sang Yu thought Liu Yan was talking about the Japanese paying tribute successively. Glancing at the Japanese kneeling on the ground, he said: "the Japanese first paid tribute to the Central Plains in the second year of emperor Jingchu of Wei Ming Dynasty (238 AD), and was canonized as a pro Wei Japanese king."

"Cao Rui?" Liu Yan looked at the Japanese dignitaries who knelt to the ground. Their clothes had obvious characteristics of the Han Empire, which was modified in some details: "I thought it was Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei."

There are so many specious jokes in later generations that it is difficult for non experts to distinguish whether they are true or false.

Liu Yan seems to remember reading an article that he didn't know whether it was a joke. It said that Cao Pi was in power when the evil horse platform paid tribute to the Central Plains for the first time. When it was clear that the Central Plains had entered the iron age, Cao Pi gave gifts to the evil horse platform envoys. They were the three great artifact Tiancong cloud sword (grass shaving sword), eight Chi Qiong gouyu and eight close mirrors widely spread by the Japanese.

Whether it's called Tiancong cloud sword or grass shaving sword, it's a copper sword, which was given to the queen of the evil horse platform at that time.

It is a kind thing to give jade to the Japanese. After all, jade has always been valued in Zhuxia since ancient times.

The mirror is a bronze mirror. It is said that the mirror will be specially added as a gift, either because the king of yematai was a woman or because the makeup of the Japanese people was too ugly.

Now there is no evil horse platform. As for how and by whom, Zhuxia won't care. Another point is that the modern Japanese refused to admit that they continued in the country or nation of yemaatai, and their refusal is quite reasonable. The ancestors of the modern Japanese are those Daiwa people who are now entrenched on the main island of the Japanese islands near Siguo island. They asked them to admit that they continued in yemaatai, and no doubt asked the modern Han people to admit that they were Qiang and Qiang in the period of five Hu chaos The descendants of DI and Jie are so absurd. (solemnly declare that the Qiang and di nationalities in modern times are not the same as in ancient times.)

Liu Yan admitted that some passages are still based. It is difficult for him to admit that the Japanese make-up looks good.

At the scene, the Japanese aristocracy painted almost the same makeup. The face was full of white rouge, and two cheeks had blushes, and the females placed a narrow lipstick on their lips. Their makeup has a history. If you look back on time, it goes all the way to the ancient pre-Qin era and even the early Han Dynasty. The above makeup is exclusive to the court. People have to draw such makeup on the special day of marriage. Frankly, it is a lost culture of Zhuxia.

It's very unpleasant, but I have to admit that the culture of Zhuxia has been lost too much, and the other ethnic groups that absorb the culture of Zhuxia have been well preserved.

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 drum culture lost after the Song Dynasty, you can go to Vietnam to see the drum team; Japanese karate and Bangzi Taekwondo are inherited or improved from Tang hands; More than these, one after another, can almost be written into an encyclopedia.

"Japanese dignitaries have been following us." Yu Yi said about the makeup of the Japanese: "they have made pilgrimages to Jiankang many times, and the envoys look like this."

By the way, the land of Zhuxia has actually preserved the same makeup. Even the five random flowers have not been completely "extinct", that is, few people can draw such makeup now, and they are no longer painted during the marriage period. Only some official prostitutes can draw when welcoming guests. This kind of makeup will change in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The court has improved it, but some Sao Bao men will paint it among the people, but it is used in marriage.

When Liu Yan arrived, he thought he would see every Japanese dignitaries holding fans, but he thought more. At present, there is no shadow in the two Song dynasties. Without the invention of Tuan fan by the Song Dynasty, it will not be spread to the Japanese islands. Naturally, the Japanese have not improved the folding fan, and the culture of Japanese dignitaries holding a fan naturally has not been formed.

In addition, Liu yanmingxian found that the clothes of Japanese dignitaries were not kimonos of later generations, but the styles worn by some gods of yin and Yang. If he had studied history, he would have found that the dress of Yin-Yang Taoist officials was basically the official dress of officials in the spring and autumn and Warring States periods of Zhuxia mainland.

It must be noted that at the beginning, the Japanese did not call the service they were wearing kimono. They actually called it Hanfu. The reason is, of course, that they improved on Hanfu. They didn't want to call their traditional service Hanfu until Mongolia and Yuan destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, went through the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and waited for the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to become the master of East Asia.

What's more, the Japanese dignitaries didn't call themselves Japanese or Dahe people for a long time. In fact, they thought they were Chinese. Even if they used hiragana and katakana with partial radicals, they still called themselves Chinese characters. Until the Southern Song Dynasty, Japanese people gradually called themselves Dahe people, The fundamental reason is that they are no longer vassal states of the Central Plains Dynasty (Southern Song Dynasty), and they have equal diplomatic status.

Liu Yan won't follow the Japanese arrangement. He walked over and saw rows of Japanese dignitaries kneeling on the ground and raising their hips, but he didn't have to go up to the high platform at the specified time according to the arrangement.

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

Liu Yan didn't even let the Japanese kneeling on the ground get up. It's not that he deliberately wanted to insult or something. As the emperor of the Han country, he hasn't lost his share to this point. In fact, he completely ignored it.

"What is this?" Liu Yan stopped halfway and pointed to the things on the table. Three things were covered with red silk. He opened one of them: "bronze sword?"

Wang Ji was appointed governor of the Japanese 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. In addition, he is also responsible for deterring those countries in the Japanese islands, because the Han country is really too powerful, and he is like the supreme king of those countries.

"Your Majesty, this sword is the sword that emperor Wei Ming gave to evil horse platform." Wang Ji picked up the sword from the stage with both hands. He was not afraid that the sword body was cut without the scabbard. He presented it to Liu Yan: "this sword was lost several times and found again. It is now owned by Dahe state."

The so-called Daiwa country is now a very small country, but from the moment of its birth, the ambition of this small country is not generally large, but determined to unify the whole island of Japan from the beginning. If history had not changed, they would indeed have unified the whole island and ruled Japan strong. At its peak, it accounted for more than half of East Asia, and even the Pacific was once their inland sea.

It's a well maintained bronze sword. Strong Zhuxia traces can be seen from the carving patterns. The blade of the sword body also looks sharp. When you look closer, you can even reflect the face of the sword body.

It's just a bronze sword. Liu Yan didn't plan on it. The significance of its existence is that at one time, emperors from the Central Plains Dynasty canonized a Japanese, leaving a record of Pro Wei Japanese kings in history.

For Liu Yan, even if he has a hobby of collecting ancient swords, it is really meaningful to find the swords worn by great emperors or famous generals in history, that is, swords such as Gan Jiang, moye and Yuchang sword also have collection value. As for tiancongyun sword, it is almost indistinguishable from a broken copper.

The Japanese people can take the three "artifact" given by Cao Rui, Emperor Wei Ming, on this occasion. They take out three "artifact" to express a meaning, which is probably "the son of heaven, we have always been our own people". The extension behind may be "my concubine has been stripped and cleaned, wiped with honey, and so on. Hurry to be lucky to my concubine".

Liu Yan seemed to remember that the Japanese had knelt long enough and charged Cui zongfen. Soon, someone who specialized in singing shouted, "everyone is flat."

There is no imperial edict or imperial edict, and there will be no imperial edict. It has to be the object of division and harmony. It can only appear in the romance works.

First, the Japanese dignitaries stood up. After the last Japanese dignitaries, the rest of the Japanese people who had been observing stood up one after another.

"The Japanese attach great importance to class." Although Wang Ji has only been governor of the Japanese islands for two years, he must study the Japanese: "their civilians are very conscious of respecting class superiority and inferiority."

The Japanese islands are actually in the slave age. They will respect the class system, not by persuasion, but by killing people at every turn. For example, on the Zhuxia side, even the nobles can't execute slaves at will, but the nobles on the Japanese islands can execute any nobles at will as long as they are interested. The following is to prove the solemnity of the class with blood.

Don't expect Liu Yan to have a cordial conversation with the so-called kings or nobles. Even the dialogue won't happen. After some inspection, he felt that he had enough before he went to the high platform and walked up the stairs to the top platform. When he stood, the Japanese people on the scene knelt down like cutting wheat.

"The king of Wen is on the top and in the sky. Although the state of Zhou is old, his order is to reform. There are Zhou Buxian and the emperor's orders from time to time. The king of Wen Zhijiang is around the Emperor..."

Good guy, Liu Yan is still thinking about what he should do. The Japanese actually sang the book of songs, great elegance and King Wen.

This is a flattering poem. The author is Zhou GongDan, which is specially used to praise King Ji Chang of Zhou Wen. Since it was created, it will be sung on some special occasions. Of course, the intention is to flatter.

After the song "the book of songs, great elegance, King Wen" was sung, the Japanese shouted something neatly, shouting and kneeling again and again.

"Your Majesty." Wang Ji knew some Japanese and translated, "they think you are a God."

Liu Yan said at this moment: "
