Qiming 1158

Chapter 1569 Only remember, will not forget
When Su Yonglin was promoting the second major purge, some Confucian scholars had shouted loudly.

They said that Su Yonglin used magic tricks to replace the teachings of sages to pass on to later generations, which would inevitably cut off Chinese culture and break the national context, and China would cease to exist from now on.

Su Yonglin scoffed at this statement, feeling that these people were just joking, and couldn't understand the pulse of this era at all.

But at that time, many domestic officials secretly agreed with this statement and were worried about the future of China, so that even Su Yonglin had heard the news and had to pay attention to it.

So Su Yonglin wrote an article about this, starting from the dismissal of the Confucianism of the hundred schools, ridiculing the double standards of Confucianism.

If we cut off Confucianism, it would be called the destruction of Chinese culture. Didn't Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also cut off the ancient Chinese culture when he dismissed the Confucianism of a hundred schools of thought?

In the pre-Qin period, the idea of ​​a hundred schools of thought was prosperous. Isn't the culture of a hundred schools of thought not Chinese culture?
As a result, in the end, only your Confucianism was left, and the theories of a hundred schools of thought faded away. In this way, isn’t your Confucianism the culprit behind the severance of Chinese orthodox culture?

Contrary to you, the My New Culture Movement not only retained some Confucian-related content in the imperial examinations, but also added content from the rest of the schools of thought. It is inclusive and lenient. This is the real way for the development of Chinese culture.

The culture of my Ming Dynasty is the real Chinese culture, and now is the great era to set things right. Don’t take the idea of ​​Confucianism and three from the four virtues to pretend to be Chinese culture!

Pooh!
The article of that year caused a wide range of repercussions in the Ming Dynasty. Since then, Confucianism has opened up a mode of common ridicule by the whole people. When everyone has something to do, they will criticize and ridicule the Confucianism's three obedience and four virtues and other hierarchical ideas, and Confucianism has officially entered the society. state.

However, the hundred-footed worm is dead but not stiff. From time to time, some people in the society try to reverse the verdict of Confucianism, thinking that Confucianism is the guardian and continuation of Chinese culture. These things Su Yonglin does will eventually destroy Chinese culture.

Hierarchical order, well-behaved, this is the way to stability, and Su Yonglin's arrogant move to break everything will inevitably lead to the complete collapse of Daming, and Su Yonglin must take historical responsibility for this!

Of course, under the new situation, there were basically no people who listened to their claims. Collective farms and state-owned workshops replaced the original feudal clan system, and the economic foundation on which the development of Confucianism took root has been completely eradicated.

In short, Confucianism is outdated.

And now Su Yonglin has decided to completely eliminate the reason for the existence of such arrogant and boring rhetoric by means of the republican chronology, and to rectify the name of Daming's new culture from the cultural and political levels.

On the eve of the birth of the Ming Democratic Republic, this is a necessary preparation.

It is very likely that the Central Representative Conference and the People's Representative Conference will be held at the beginning of the 13th year of Hongwu, and counting from the first year of the Republic to the 13th year of Hongwu, it will be 15 years.

Therefore, Su Yonglin suggested that after Daming became a democratic republic and before the completion of the Huaxia Era project, the Hongwu era should be temporarily replaced by the republican era.

The 13th year of Hongwu is the 15th year of the Republic.

Su Yonglin's suggestion was brought up for discussion at the meeting of the nine-member group. The nine-member group had mixed opinions on it. Some people thought the Republican Year was good, while others thought it was unnecessary.

One of the views is that the new era was brought by the Ming Dynasty, not by those feudal dynasties. Culture can be inherited and spread, but history still needs to be clearly cut, and the previous ones can be discarded.

Instead of using the republic, it is better to use the name of the Ming Dynasty to mark the year, to show that the Ming Dynasty is completely different from the past.

Such a suggestion was made by Xin Qiji.

As a revolutionary transformed from a traditional scholar of the old era, he has more radical requirements and a complete cut from the past, demonstrating the justice of the Ming Dynasty.

He is one of the most supporters of Su Yonglin's promotion of democratic and republican reforms. He also feels extremely disgusted with everything in the past. He believes that it belongs to the scars of the country's history, the history of oppression and exploitation, and must be denied.

"Using the republican calendar to include all the past history, is it to ask Ming to admit the past 2000 years of oppression and exploitation? I think this is an incorrect behavior and should be completely denied."

His view has been recognized and supported by some people.

In this regard, Su Yonglin expressed a different view.

"I adopt the republican chronology suggestion, which recognizes history, not oppression and exploitation. We should look at pure history separately from the past of oppression and exploitation. History is years, and oppression and exploitation are sins. Years and sins, I don't think we can It's the same as one, what do you think?"

Even Xin Qiji did not give an answer to deny Su Yonglin's opinion.

So Su Yonglin continued to express his views.

"The years are the 2000 years that have really existed. They are the real years that have passed from our ancestors to our generation day by day, month by month, year by year. They cannot be denied no matter what. of.

If we deny the years, are we still the descendants of Yanhuang and Huaxia?Could it be that the descendants of Yanhuang and the Chinese descendants have also become symbols of oppression and exploitation?I don't think I can agree with this statement anyway, what do you think? "

The crowd still had nothing to say and no way to refute.

Both Yanhuang and Huaxia are symbols of civilization, and they are the key nodes in ancient China's transition from ignorance to civilization. To deny them is to deny everything about yourself and deny your roots.

If you forget where you came from, no matter where you go in the future, you will be rootless duckweed.

"So, remember the years, remember where we came from, and remember all the brilliance and glory that these 2000 years have brought us. This is an inseparable part of us as the descendants of Yan and Huang and the sons and daughters of China."

Su Yonglin looked at Xin Qiji's calm face, nodded, and continued: "But remembering the glory and glory does not mean forgetting the darkness and sin, the oppression and exploitation that have caused the Chinese people to suffer for 2000 years, we must also be remembered.

Not only must we remember, but we must also publicize it to let the public know how our ancestors were used like cattle and horses for 2000 years, and at the same time were easily trampled and discarded as straw. Only by remembering can we never forget.

I thought that for the deep sufferings our ancestors suffered, any glorification and forgetting would mean the most serious betrayal. Without that kind of suffocating oppression and exploitation, why should we revolutionize?Why do we want to overthrow the imperial power and establish a democratic republic?

It is precisely because of the oppression and exploitation of these upper-class gentlemen for 2000 years, and the fact that they have spent 2000 years of money like silt, that finally led to our revolution and the birth of the Ming Democratic Republic. . "

Su Yonglin stood up and clenched his fists.

"We must not only remember the suffering of the past, but also publicize the suffering of the past, let everyone remember the suffering of the past together, and never forget the suffering of the past. In this way, our revolution will be meaningful, and our revolution will be just. The Republic will be incomparably righteous!"

After Su Yonglin finished speaking, he initiated another motion to vote, and took the lead in raising his hand.

Of the remaining eight people, six raised their hands one after another.

Kong Maojie, who returned to the Central Capital with Su Yonglin's front and back feet, once raised his hand, and then put it down again, which surprised Su Yonglin.

And Xin Qiji, who had the most determined attitude, sighed after thinking for a long time, but did not raise his hand after all.
