Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 186: Having knowledge means you can do whatever you want

"You students must be very strange, right? Bao Guowei is obviously a writer of novels, poetry, and literature, but he doesn't do his job all day long. He is either studying plagues or participating in sports games. Now he is studying history? Isn't it a bit strange? ridiculous?"

As soon as Bao Guowei opened the show, he tried to make the atmosphere somewhat relaxed and cheerful.

After all, the audience was full of students from Guanghua University, as well as some academic gentlemen and masters.

Faced with the recent visit of the "legendary" Bao Guowei, it is inevitable that everyone will be nervous and expectant.

Bao Guowei first lowered his figure so that everyone in the venue would no longer regard him as a "celebrity" who was not familiar with the world.

"Hahahahaha!"

As expected, there was a burst of laughter from the audience, and everyone had a smile on their face.

"Bingwen seems to have matured a lot. The last time I saw him, he was still a young boy, but now he looks like an adult. It seems that these two months of travel have been of great benefit to him."

In the corner below the stage, Dai Wangshu looked at the stage with hot eyes and couldn't help but comment.

Next to him were his good friend Shi Zhecun and Zhou Youguang, now a lecturer at Guanghua University.

"Why is China being bullied today instead of us asking other countries to cede territory and pay compensation?"

"And our country and nation have suffered too much suffering and humiliation in the past hundred years."

After reviewing the previous situation, Bao Guowei began to throw out his today's theme.

Does Bao Guowei know? What earth-shattering insights does he have?

After many speeches, Bao Guowei understood the psychology that drives the audience very well and said with a mysterious smile on his face.

These questions are exactly the answers that everyone is eager to find in the market today.

"Why is Western civilization so powerful? Why have we failed in the past hundred years? How will we rise in the future?"

"But in my opinion, studying history is precisely necessary. The ancients often said that taking history as a mirror can help us understand the ups and downs. Since ancient times, many literati and poets have looked for strategies to save the country and the people in history. This is not because they are blind, but because historical events are changing in our lives. It happens over and over again around us.”

"I read through various books and researched and found that when Western civilization was manufacturing modern industrial products, such as electric lights, cars, soap, etc., some civilizations were still in a hunting and gathering society."

Zhou Youguang has just turned twenty-five. Under his glasses is a pair of bright eyes with extraordinary bearing.

I only heard Bao Guowei's ups and downs speaking on the stage.

Shi Zhecun commented: "Bao Bingwen has a poetic and literary spirit, but Bao Bingwen just lacks some experience. There is really nothing to say in other aspects. His lecture today is quite interesting. It is actually the history of modern civilization? It is really surprising. !”

“Why didn’t capitalism flourish in indigenous Mexican societies?

Why didn’t mercantilism take hold in sub-Saharan Africa?

Why is scientific research not always highly respected in China? "

Dai Wangshu listened carefully to Bao Guowei's words and smiled at the two people.

After hearing these words, the students and professors who were a little confused in the audience raised their heads one after another, their eyes shining.

"As you all know, we attach great importance to the enemy tactically and despise the enemy strategically. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle. When we face a powerful opponent without analysis and research, facing backwardness in time, space and even material, this is almost impossible. It’s something that’s impossible to do.”

"Gentlemen, Bao Bingwen has started giving a lecture. Let's listen carefully and then make an evaluation."

"I originally wanted to listen to Bao Bingwen's research on literary history. This is exactly in line with my major. The history of modern civilization is really strange. If it were someone else, I might leave the show, but if it were Bao Guowei, I could leave it alone. listen."

"The theme is to study why Western civilization is so powerful?"

He finally asked the question.

Bao Guowei took a deep breath and said loudly.

"Black Africans were enslaved, and the indigenous people of the South Pacific were still in primitive society."

Students in this era are different.

They are in an era of fierce ideological collision and an era of internal and external troubles in the country.

They have a deeper desire for national prosperity and the rise of the country.

So immediately some students in the audience raised their hands and spoke.

"Mr. Bao, I think it comes from the cultural characteristics of society." When someone answered, Bao Guowei didn't feel offended. He smiled slightly and pointed at the student.

"What's your name? Stand up and answer and introduce yourself."

The thin boy, wearing thick glasses, stood up slightly nervously and said.

"Mr. Bao, my name is Lu Xuewen, and I am a student in the History Department of Guanghua University."

"Tell me your point of view. Cultural characteristics are a very interesting entry point."

Bao Guowei nodded approvingly and asked him to express his opinion.

Lu Xuewen obviously rarely spoke in front of so many people. He was a little nervous, but he continued.

"In my opinion, countries have different cultural levels, national characters and races, so the level of civilization development is also different. This is the reason why the West is rising and China is lagging behind."

Lu Xuewen answered word for word and very carefully.

As soon as his answer came out, everyone in the audience nodded in appreciation of his words.

Zhou Youguang nodded slightly and commented.

"This student is quite capable. He seems to have put a lot of effort into these words. Without hard work, he would not have been able to reach these conclusions."

Shi Zhecun, on the other hand, said with great interest: "The cultural characteristics of society are a novel entry point. I think this student can be focused on cultivating."

But Dai Wangshu said nonchalantly: "You people are too arbitrary. I think it's better to listen to what Bao Bingwen has to say. He will definitely have a different opinion!"

Shi Zhecun shook his head and said: "I think the answer is this. These explanations are very accurate. What follows is just a systematic development of these elements."

After receiving the encouragement, Lu Xuewen became more confident, and he immediately added.

"Due to cultural characteristics, scientific research was suppressed in ancient China because of Confucianism, while in the West it was promoted because of the traditions of ancient Greece and the habits of Christian sects."

Although the students in the audience were unwilling to admit it, they still nodded and said.

"That's right! If it weren't for the thousands of years of shackles of Confucian feudalism, why would we, the Chinese people, be like this?"

"I think it's still like what the gentlemen said, completely free from the shackles of traditional culture, neither broken nor established, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, reborn from the ashes!"

"We must catch up where others are advanced, just like underachievers chasing after top students."

There was endless chatter in the audience. Obviously, under the guidance of Lu Xuewen, these people regarded this as the final answer.

After pressing his hands and waiting for the audience to quiet down, Bao Guowei smiled and nodded.

"What this classmate said is pretty good. It does explain some truths, but it is not the final answer."

Wow~

The audience in the audience immediately went crazy. They all looked at Bao Guowei in disbelief, and Lu Xuewen also frowned.

But due to Bao Guowei's reputation, no one dared to jump out and refute him.

Seeing everyone's suspicious looks and Lu Xuewen's hesitant look, Bao Guowei answered slowly.

"According to this argument, why didn't Confucianism appear in western Eurasia? Judeo-Christian ethics appeared in ancient China?

This answer may be an answer, but it is too general and misses the real point.

Furthermore, this statement ignores a fact.

That is, before 1400 AD, China, which respected Confucianism, was technologically ahead of western Eurasia. "

Bao Guowei smiled confidently on his face.

Sorry, but with the knowledge of the Hereafter, you can do whatever you want.
