Chapter 661 What is Changing Customs?

With a smile on his face, Shen Liuzhen kindly asked Dugujian on the opposite side:

"How does General Dugu feel?"

Dugujian frowned, his slender eyes were squeezed by the natural swollen eyelids, he looked very angry, he said:

"Your Majesty asked you to find a Xianbei old stubborn to discuss, and you came to me?... Listen to my fluent Chinese, am I old stubborn?"

Liu Qinbing whispered from the side: "This level is not fluent..."

Dugujian froze, looked at Liu Qinbing, and put his hand on the saber at his waist, as if he wanted to fight.

The smile on Shen Liuzhen's face was very sweet, with shallow dimples, and said:

"Of course the general is not one of those stubborn old stubborn ones, but among the Xianbei people who understand their own clan's position, are reasonable and have a good relationship with me, and are loyal to His Majesty, there is only General Dugu. If I don't look for you, who else can I look for?"

He pointed his face outward and said:
"You can't let me go to discuss with those Xianbei elders who led the army to fight? Then I guess I was beaten out before I opened my mouth."

Dugu Jian's hair that was blown up was smoothed out all of a sudden, and he was still a little happy and uncomfortable in his heart, so he said awkwardly:

"That's true, tell me."

Liu Qinbing curled his lips aside, and secretly laughed in his heart. This guy was still innocent, and he was coaxed by Shen Liuzhen with a few words.

Shen Liuzhen cut straight to the point and asked seriously:

"Your Majesty is going to change customs. Tell me, should everyone follow the Han people or the Xianbei people?"

"What do you mean by changing customs?" Dugu Jian asked stupidly.

Shen Liuzhen froze for a moment, almost having a heart attack.He silently withdrew his desire and expectation of winning and losing, pursed his lips, and suppressed the stalk in his heart.

Dugujian's Chinese proficiency is considered above average among the stubborn Xianbei people, and it is still so difficult to talk to him...

It is conceivable that this is the biggest obstacle in the debate between the Hu and Han races:
It is difficult to communicate, and it may take a lot of time to explain what I mean, and I want to refute the other party with words and words, and I am convinced... It has to be after the meaning is translated.

It seems that when the time comes, it will be necessary to argue in Xianbei dialect.

Shen Liuzhen calmed down his anxiety, and after calming down, he said:

"That is, speak the same language, celebrate the same festivals, wear the same clothes, worship the same ancestors, etc..."

"Isn't this nonsense? Are Han people and Xianbei people the same ancestor? Why don't you offer sacrifices to our ancestors?"

Shen Liuzhen lowered his eyebrows, and after thinking for a moment, he asked gently:

"Then let me change the word to worship the same gods. It's just that the gods of the Han people are mostly their ancestors, such as Confucius, Laozi, Lu Ban, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors..."

"The gods of the Han people are not the same as the gods of the Xianbei people! What we worship is the sky, water and fire! They are all real gods! You Han people worship with us, whoever wants to follow you To worship the ancestors of the Han people?!

Your ancestors are not our ancestors!Can you figure this out? !You don't even have to tell those stubborn old men, I want to beat you right now! "

Dugujian was very excited, and spit at Shen Liuzhen. Liu Qinbing sat behind Shen Liuzhen and said quickly:
"Isn't this a discussion? If you discuss it, you should discuss it carefully. Why are you so anxious?!"

Shen Liuzhen didn't look angry at all, he just lowered his head slightly, his eyes were lowered thinking about Dugujian's words, very engrossed.Say:

"Actually, we also offer sacrifices to heaven, the son of heaven, the son of heaven, so to speak. There is also the god of fire, Zhurong, the god of water, the king of dragons, and even Dayu, the god of water control... If you sacrifice with us, you won't miss anything."

"Bullshit! Our gods are gods, not the same as your gods! We don't recognize Zhu Rong! You give up! It's impossible! You worship yours, we sacrifice ours, why change it?! Let you abandon it Are you willing to sacrifice your own gods with us?!"

Shen Liuzhen was silent for a while, was very honest, and then replied discouragedly: "I don't want to..."

Seeing that Shen Liuzhen's attitude was so good, Dugujian was stunned for a moment, unable to vent his anger, clapped his hands for a while, and said:

"Isn't that what it is?! Is it possible for others to agree to something that you don't even want?"

Shen Liuzhen's long eyelashes trembled, and then he carefully raised his eyes to look at Dugujian, full of hope, and asked:
"Is that possible? Hu Han's gods are all together, and everyone sacrifices together?"

"Heh..." Dugujian sneered, but seeing Shen Liuzhen's good-looking facial features and his cute expression, he couldn't hate him anymore, and said coldly, "Why? Our own gods are pretty good. Sacrifice? Too busy, and unwilling! What kind of Lao Tzu and Confucius are you, useless to us!"

Shen Liuzhen withdrew his gaze, and suddenly realized:
"Ah... This is coming back again. Without the same cultural identity, how can it be possible to sacrifice the same gods? For hunters, Confucius is really useless... Unless everyone can read and write, and farm the land, Wear the same clothes, speak the same words, have the same cultural identity..."

As he spoke, he sighed heavily again, and said sadly:

"But the problem now is that the conflict between Hu and Han is so deep, so where does this cultural identity come from? Isn't it necessary to worship the same gods, so that the ideas can be close?...The ideas are close, and they are willing to wear the same clothes. Celebrate the same festival, speak the same language... Hey, this is an endless loop that complements each other. This cycle has to find a beginning before it can be promoted..."

Shen Liuzhen paused, raised his wide sleeves, and said:
"Let's put aside the matter of offering sacrifices to the same gods, and I'll think about it later.

Let's discuss the matter of wearing the same clothes and speaking the same language first.My proposition is that everyone speaks Chinese, writes Chinese characters, and wears Chinese clothes.What do you think? "

When Dugujian heard this, he laughed immediately, and his expression immediately became confident and relaxed. He leaned forward, pulled Shen Liuzhen's wide sleeves, and said:

"To tell you the truth, your clothes look really good-looking, like a fairy, and look luxurious and dignified, but it's inconvenient to move around. Can you win a war if you dress like this? Needless to say, Many Han people are still imitating us to wear it, if you change it, don’t wear it in the future, just follow us to wear it..."

Shen Liuzhen was speechless, and said:
"The clothing system of the Han people is not just one kind. Look at what the Han people in the south wear when they fight? Don't they all wear armor? Besides, as you said, my clothes are luxurious and beautiful, and they are comfortable to wear. What's wrong? Can't you wear it when you're free?"
