The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

Li Yuan understood Professor Xu’s thoughts very well.

In the Northern War at the beginning of liberation, we defeated a powerful opponent.

But that period was a period of intense confrontation between the two major groups, and both were preparing for the third war.

The reconstruction of Northeast Heavy Industry and the purchase of large quantities of weapons and ammunition allowed us to achieve final victory.

Now, our country is facing a more complicated situation, and there is a danger of being washed away at any time.

Li Yuan explained what he could to Professor Xu, causing him to fall into deep thought again.

"Professor Xu, we cannot provoke the Western camp now. What they need is a backward and ignorant China.

The rise of a powerful China will never be tolerated.

Therefore, we can develop secretly, but we cannot make a big splash and can only hide our capabilities and bide our time.

When our national defense and economy become stronger and our national self-confidence recovers, that will be the time to show our fangs."

Mr. Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, I didn't expect that I would be taught by a young man in this regard."

"Professor Xu, don't get me wrong. It is precisely because I am close to you that I dare to be so presumptuous."

"Hahaha, don't worry, I can still tell the difference between good and bad words."

"We have to be cautious. Think about how much America hated Japan at first.

In order to engage in a confrontation between the two camps, they rearmed the Japanese country and helped it develop heavy industry.

But only for us, for us, they set the most stringent restrictions in the world.

why?

It's simple, they know that an ugly duckling cannot become a white swan, only a white swan can become a white swan.

Our Chinese nation has a profound history of more than 5000 years, a splendid culture, and great scientific and technological inventions.

We declined in the late Qing Dynasty.

When we were weak, a group of local dogs pounced on us and bit us, absorbing our noble Chinese bloodline and becoming wise.

Do you think they will allow us to be strong again? ".

"Your thoughts are extreme. The West is still very smart and powerful.

We cannot deliberately put others down in order to elevate ourselves, as this can easily lead to blind arrogance and loss of self.”

What Professor Xu said was sincere and sincere, and he taught sincerely.

Li Yuan looked at Professor Xu strangely, knowing that these people who studied in the West were full of awe of Western learning.

Because when they first started studying, someone was telling them that our history is only ignorance and backwardness.

Confucianism is a backward doctrine that poisons the common people.

Although it has a long history, there are only four ridiculous inventions.

Western learning is the greatest and defines what science is. Science is empirical science and must be able to be verified repeatedly.

Just like when he first came to this world, he was shocked when he read biographies of famous people. It turns out that many celebrities in modern times are opposed to traditional Chinese medicine.

And he has an extreme contempt for Chinese culture, and Chinese characters were almost completely replaced by pinyin.

Therefore, Li Yuan was not surprised at all when Professor Xu said what he just said.

People like them all love China crazily and are crazily superstitious about Western learning.

So Li Yuan thought about planting a seed of doubt in Mr. Xu's heart.

"I've always been curious, how did the Western calendar come about?"

"In the 16th century, the calendar in the West had been very confusing. The Pope set up a committee and it took three years to revise the calendar, which was then promoted and became our current calendar."

"Don't you think it's strange? This committee only took two or three years to complete the revision, and there is almost no deviation from the modern calendar."

"What's strange about this is that this committee synthesizes the world's calendars and then finds the most accurate calendar."

Professor Xu looked disapproving, his mind still stuck on the transistor thing.

"Comprehensive, the world calendar, is there a Chinese calendar?"

"Oh!" Professor Xu couldn't turn his head around for a while.

"Do we have a calendar? No, no, no, we have 24 solar terms and a lunar year."

"Think about it again. Since more than 2000 years ago, governments of all dynasties have set up star observatories across the country. What are they doing?"

"Aren't they predicting good or bad luck for the emperor?"

Professor Xu joked with a smile, but then gradually became serious as he smiled.

“We have a calendar with a history of more than 2000 years that can correspond to the 12 months and the 24 solar terms.

To do this, you need to observe the movement of celestial bodies. Many celestial bodies take hundreds of years to observe a complete circle.

And if you want to be accurate, you have to constantly correct it from generation to generation.

Therefore, in all dynasties, there have always been Jiansi Tiansi who have always inherited it, and they have a complete inheritance."

When Li Yuan said this, Professor Xu's scalp began to tingle and he looked at Li Yuan intently.

Li Yuan still refused to let Professor Xu go.

"What do you think of classics such as the Tao Te Ching, the Yi Jing, the Four Books and the Five Classics, Qi Min Yao Shu, Meng Xi Bi Tan, Compendium of Materia Medica, and Tiangong Kai Wu?"

Professor Xu, who completely trusts Western learning, felt very harsh hearing this.

His first reaction was that these books were all superstitious, ignorant, pretentious, and miraculous. . .

But with Li Yuan's foreshadowing, he began to face up to these books left by his ancestors.

Professor Xu said nothing, but Li Yuan continued.

"Have you ever heard of the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic, the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, the Ganshi Heart Sutra, the Mo Sutra, and the Bird Sutra?"

Professor Xu nodded and shook his head.

After a while, Professor Xu said in a difficult tone: "Where did you hear these?"

"You also know that I have a photographic memory. I read a lot of miscellaneous books in the library and slowly realized something was wrong.

I began to consciously collect various ancient books, and now I have many on the bookshelves at home."

In fact, what he did not say is that in the system space, there are many rare books, most of which were exchanged for food and capitalists.

One of them they collect is for appearance, and the other is passed down from their ancestors.

At first, they were heartbroken about the antique calligraphy and paintings. In order to eat, they asked if these ancient books could be exchanged.

After seeing the real thing, Li Yuan excitedly agreed.

At this time, Professor Xu slowly stood up and slowly bent down with a serious expression.

Li Yuan was so frightened that he jumped away quickly, not daring to accept such a gift.

He took a step forward, stood beside Professor Xu, and helped him stand up.

"Professor Xu, you are ruining this boy's life."

"Those who achieve first come first. When I was studying abroad, I heard Napoleon's famous saying. I felt ashamed at the time. Now that I think about it, maybe what he said was not false."

"You are saying: China is a sleeping lion, right?!"

"Yes, when I first heard it, it felt very harsh. Today, after listening to your analysis, I feel that there is something pregnant in it."

“This is what I have always wanted to say, the West will not watch us rise again, what they need is a backward and ignorant Great China.

They prefer that we break up into countless small countries, just like Europe now, or the warlords fighting in our country before liberation."

"Li Yuan, to be honest, I got to know you again today and learned a lesson from you!"

"You must not do this. I just like to read some idle books and ponder. In the eyes of everyone, I am not doing my job properly."

"We in China need more thoughtful young people like you.

After listening to what you said, I still feel a chill on my back, which makes me very scared when I think about it! It’s terrifying to think about it! ! ! "
