Gou in Daming, I was overheard by Zhu Yuanzhang

Xu Huaijin, who remained silent all this time, said, "King Wu, why do I feel that you are disgusted with what your ancestor left behind? On the contrary,"

Xu Huaijin glanced at Lukia and Robert, and said, "King Wu, on the contrary, you admire them so much. Why?"

"Is Xu Huaijin about to go online? In modern language, it's worshiping foreigners."

"Xu Huaijin has the potential of a modern Internet troll."

"Typical characteristics of Internet trolls are that they take meaning out of context. When it comes to one point, they magnify infinitely, disregard the facts, and don't talk about dialectics. They have only one purpose: to troll!"

"For example, as soon as you say that the Qin Dynasty is too violent, there will be Internet trolls immediately outraged: dare to insult my brother Zheng, see if I can beat you to death!"

"Those who don't usually dare to say anything, are unscrupulous on the Internet. Those who don't usually do evil, can do all kinds of monsters on the Internet!"

"In addition, Internet trolls have turned into moral pickets, human flesh, and cyberbullying incidents follow one after another."

"Xu Huaijin, are all the things left by our ancestors good? We must treat our traditional culture dialectically. The good ones must be carried forward and inherited, and the bad ones must be resolutely discarded!"

"For a long time, we have had a complex of reverence for the ancients in our bones towards traditional culture, and lacked a scientific critical spirit."

"Of course what the ancestors left behind is good." Xu Huaijin was frightened, His Majesty is here, how can King Wu talk nonsense.

Your Majesty is the grandfather and ancestor of King Wu.

"Xu Huaijin, you are standing on the commanding heights of morality! Some nobleness is worse than depravity, such as Internet trolls."

Seeing Xu Huaijin's confused face, Zhu Yunxi said again: "Xu Huaijin, don't you dislike the bound feet of women passed down from the Southern Song Dynasty? Why don't you bind their feet? Also, my grandma has big feet. Could it be that I am sorry for my ancestors?"

Zhu Yunxi's words immediately made Xu Huaijin speechless.

Yes, binding feet has always been the patent of upper-class women, but in rural areas, especially remote villages, there are very few people binding feet.

Especially in the impoverished countryside, many women have to do the same work as men. Wouldn't it be a burden to the whole family if their feet were bound?
Although Xu Huaijin was born in an honorable family, she was favored since she was a child. When her little feet were bound, she cried in pain, but her grandfather Xu Da firmly refused to let them be bound.

Most of the women who do not bind their feet come from the families of generals.

Empress Ma is also big feet!
After Empress Ma was born, her mother died. Her father took pity on the orphan girl, and because of enemies, the family was not stable, so he did not bind her feet when she reached the age of bound feet.

Later, the father fled to avoid revenge and entrusted his daughter to a friend, thinking that he could come back. As a result, his father died in other places, and Guo Zixing's family could not bind the feet of other people's daughters without authorization.

Queen Ma also missed the age suitable for foot binding.

"Xu Huaijin, any culture and civilization has its strengths and limitations. My Chinese civilization is still the same. The same is true of the Western civilization of the Italians."

"Today, I'll just let it go, no matter how much you can understand, just listen first!"

Zhu Yunxi stood up and said: "Let's talk about Western civilization first. It originated from the Greek civilization, especially the ancient Greek civilization. It is of course a reflection of the Greek life world."

"Greek civilization belongs to the maritime civilization, and the Greeks lived on peninsulas and islands within the Aegean Sea."

"Because life requires certainty, or the principle of certainty, so in the face of the ever-changing ocean and world of life, the Greeks must pursue a certain world to support their principles of life."

"And this world is the real other world of this world, and it can only be constructed abstractly through thoughts and theories."

"Greek civilization's division of the two worlds and its pursuit of the other world have created the rationalist tradition and the priority principle of epistemology in Western civilization."

"Because experience is changing, and only reason can obtain this kind of cognition, so empiricism is relatively deprecated."

"This theoretical orientation is the advantage of Western civilization and the driving force behind the rapid development of Western science."

Xu Huaijin, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Mao Yi all listened carefully. They had never heard Zhu Yunxi analyze Western civilization in such a way, because they had never been to the West, and this was their first contact with Italians.

Zhu Yunxi continued: "Different from Western civilization, Chinese civilization belongs to land civilization."

"Our ancestors lived on a stable and reliable continent. In this living world, certainty does not need to be questioned, and its roots are underfoot."

"Therefore, our ancestors did not need and would not create a world of thought and rationality. What they had to do was how to deal with the affairs and relationships in this world so that this world could exist forever and develop in an orderly manner. People living in this world live in harmony, happiness and well-being.”

"Then, how to live rather than theoretically construct becomes the starting point of all our cultures."

“Our civilization and culture emphasizes experience, life, and practical action, and emphasizes the secular this world rather than the rational other world.”

"This also creates the characteristics of 'relationship-based', 'practical principles', 'virtuous rule of man', 'kinship ethics' and 'family and country sentiment' in traditional Chinese culture."

"This is also the reason why Chinese classical traditional culture is called 'ethical and political' culture and empiricism culture."

"This emphasis on practice and experience is the advantage of Chinese traditional culture, but the relative neglect of rationality and its theoretical advancement also constitutes its defect."

"Our system theory in the sense of theoretical improvement is not very developed, such as the development of science."

Xu Huaijin said: "King Wu, what you mean is that our culture doesn't value theory, and Western culture doesn't value practice. Which one is better?"

"Xu Huaijin, you've covered the essence of the problem, that's good!" Zhu Yunxie praised Xu Huaijin and said, "These two cultures hadn't collided before, so it's hard to say which one is superior and which is inferior. But later, Western culture made up the most important part. The short board: practice!"

"They use theory to guide practice, use practice to prove and improve theory, and then sublimate theory into laws!"

"Just talk about gunpowder. We invented it a long time ago, but it was accidentally discovered by alchemy Taoists in practice. Our research on gunpowder is only practice. Without theory, there is no law."

"Without regularity, there would be no standardization and scale, and we would be ambiguous and imprecise in doing things. For example, our gunpowder filling is purely based on experience and feeling, and it is very random."

"After gunpowder was introduced to Europe, a theory was formed in Europe and sublimated into a law. Therefore, the firearms they made were almost the same."

"Gunpowder was invented by us, but Westerners raised our practice to theory, and then guided their firearm production from theory, so we gradually fell behind!"

"Mao Yi, you have seen the muskets of the Yitai Li people! How did you reload the muskets two years ago? Can't you see the difference?"

Robert and the others had only a half-knowledge, but they could tell that King Wu of Ming Dynasty admired their culture very much!

Sure enough, just as Marco Polo said in his book, Orientals are all humble and gentle gentlemen!

It is clear that the weapons and equipment displayed by King Wu of the Ming Dynasty far exceed those of the Italians, but he said that there is a gap between Ming and Ming.

"Xu Huaijin, our culture lacks the most important link: rational analysis and theoretical sublimation! This is an important reason why I let these Italians work for Daming Institute of Science and Technology!"

Clap clap clap clap!

Lucia applauded first: "King Wu, you speak so well, you are the Nicolaus Copernicus of the East!"

Nicolaus Copernicus?

Copernicus?
"Lukia, are you talking about Nicolaus Copernicus who was Bolan? Copernicus who proposed the 'heliocentric theory'?" Zhu Yunxi asked excitedly.
