"This is an elegant western style fencing hall. The cheap Chinese swords are not worthy of entering."
Qiu Yueting's words make Luo Yan feel uncomfortable. It seems to make Luo Yan go back to the time when China was bullied by the great powers. In Shanghai, the Bund Park, the notice board says that Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter. It is almost the same as Qiu Yueting's words.
But now it is the 21st century. Huaxia is driving out the great powers by her own strength. Now she is not only on the top of the world, but also a big country with a strong voice in the world. As a Chinese, Qiu Yueting is not proud of her own nation. Instead, she worships foreign countries. Luo Yan only thinks that Qiu Yueting is stupid to study abroad.
Luo Yan is not happy with Qiu Yueting. Qiu Yueting can't afford to see Luo Yan either. When she sees Xu Yun's words, Luo Yan obediently puts the sword back to the scabbard, and there is a trace of contempt in her eyes.
Although Qiu Yueting is not a fan of Xu Yunqing, she has heard about Xu Yunqing's retirement recently. It's said that she likes a man and plans to retire and get married.
What surprised Qiu Yueting was that the man Xu Yun was in love with turned out to be like this. In addition to his good looks, Qiu Yueting didn't see anything extraordinary in Luo Yan. She felt that it was not suitable for him to carry shoes to the chief executive. If it was for her, the earth man would die, and she couldn't take a fancy to Luo Yan.
"It's really bad for Xu Yun to give back the national goddess, hum." Qiu Yueting sneered and then said.
"Miss Xu Yunqing, if you want to practice sword, we have a good fencing coach here. Western sword is very suitable for women to learn to defend themselves. Unlike your husband's Chinese sword, you can watch it with one flower handle. It's useless in actual combat."
"What did you say?" Xu Yunqing's face suddenly turns black. Before Qiu Yueting said that the Chinese sword was not suitable for entering the museum, which made Xu Yunqing uncomfortable. However, she didn't think that Qiu Yueting even stepped on her nose and said that the sword was cheap enough, and she also sneered that Luo Yan was a flower handle. Xu Yunqing couldn't bear it.
"I'm not clear enough? Miss Xu's original intention here is not to learn western swords. Don't be half hearted when you do things. It's right to abandon the Chinese swords that have been praised for thousands of years as soon as possible. "
Qiu Yueting is the daughter of a rich family. Her status is no worse than that of Xu Yun, so she doesn't pay for the national goddess that ordinary people adore. Even when she sees that Xu Yun's preference for men is extremely bad, she has a slight look down on them.
Xu Yun is impatient and wants to argue with Qiu Yueting, but Luo Yan holds her shoulder and says with a smile.
"As a Chinese, Miss Qiu despises and discards the things handed down by her ancestors, but holds the Western sword school developed by learning from the Chinese sword as a treasure. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"I don't call it ridiculous. I call it keeping pace with the times. Instead, you are holding on to the things handed down by your ancestors. Don't you think they are decadent?" Qiu Yueting tit for tat, see Luo Yan eyes more contemptuous.
"According to you, do you think the Western sword is more powerful than the Chinese sword?" Luo Yan sneered.
"I don't think it's true that Western swords are more powerful than Chinese swords." Qiu Yueting is extremely confident.
"Western swords are also called light swords. They are mainly sharp spikes. Because of their lightness, they are extremely fast and can't be defended. Unlike Chinese swords, they are heavy and hard to swing. They can see through the track at a glance when attacking."
"Not to mention the comparison with Western swords, that is, in the cold weapon era, compared with PU Dao and Tang Dao weapons, Chinese swords are not on the table. Otherwise, why did the soldiers in ancient Chinese battlefield match Pu Dao and Tang Dao instead of Chinese sword?"
As Qiu Sihai's daughter, Qiu Yueting wanted to do business and have a lot of good projects, but she chose the fencing hall. In addition to valuing the development potential of Western swords in China, the most important thing is that she is a good swordsman and has a deep research on the cultural history of swords.
It's a pity that she studied abroad as a child and received western education. She only mentioned the Kendo culture and history handed down from China for thousands of years in some western historical books. The introduction was incomplete and even smeared. Luo Yan felt it necessary to correct the idea of a woman full of foreign ink.
"Miss Qiu, the Chinese Kendo culture you know is not the real Chinese Kendo culture." Luo Yan shook his head.
"Well, what's the real Chinese Kendo culture like?" Qiu Yueting wants to hear what flowers Luo Yan can pull out. She laughs.
"Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you a little bit." Luo Yan once read the whole Jinling library for a month, and his mind was almost full of all the things in China for five thousand years. As the saying goes, he was full of poetry and calligraphy. Luo Yan took his time and talked.
"The origin of Huaxia sword has a long history, which can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Later generations named it the king of hundred soldiers, while the sword was the courage of hundred soldiers. The king was a gentleman, and the courage was the courage. Therefore, in ancient times, most of the sword holders were princes, Marquises and generals, representing the powerful, and the sword bearer was a pawn in the market."
"As for you, it's not because the Chinese sword is inferior that the Tang sword and the plain sword replaced the Chinese sword in the ancient Chinese battlefield. It's just because the sword technique is easy to learn and it's difficult to master. Otherwise, why are the imperial guards in every dynasty in history equipped with the same Chinese sword?"
Qiu Yueting eyes suddenly flash a surprised color, a little incredible looking at Luo Yan.
What Luo Yan said is totally different from what she learned when she studied in the west, such as sword gentleman, sword marketplace, sword is difficult to master, sword is easy to learn, imperial forbidden army, soldiers, and so on. All these concepts overturn her previous cognition, and shock her and make her feel reasonable.
"How could he know so much." Qiu Yueting's beautiful eyes are shocked. It's hard to mix Luo Yan, who thought he didn't deserve to lift shoes for the chief secretary, with the man who is full of money and fiber.
"And the lightness of Western swords mentioned by Miss Qiu, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage." Luo Yan picked up a Western sword, waved a few swords at will, and then shook his head.
"The Chinese classic of martial arts has a double-edged sword, straight body and sharp head. It can hurt people horizontally and vertically, and pierce through armor. It is extremely dangerous. It was born to kill."
"It's said that a sword can hurt people not only with its sharp end, but also with both sides of the blade. However, Westerners are not good at using the sword because of their clumsy movements, so they remove the double edges and keep the sharp end, so as to achieve the effect of lightness and quickness."
"It's smart, but western swords also lose the soul of swords, and the skills of chopping, chopping, rowing, lifting, wiping, picking and so on will disappear."
Speaking of this, Luo Yan's voice suddenly became cold“ This kind of soulless Western sword is also compared with the ancient Chinese sword. Don't you think it's defiled? "
"Luo advised Miss Qiu not to worship foreign things. Studying abroad can certainly broaden her horizons, but it's a little sad to think that the moon in foreign countries is always rounder than that in China."
"You......" Qiu Yueting's fingers were infuriated and her whole body was shaking, but she could not say anything to refute.
