    Jing Wen then looked at the books around him, and decided to pass them on so that those tool books could better serve the people.  ¡Ø¡ÍAfter all, these books are of great importance, and it would be a great pity if their inheritance was cut off.  Later Jing Wen also knew that many ancient Chinese technologies had already been developed in China when they were later studied in the West.  It's just that the inheritance was interrupted for some reason, which made it impossible for everyone to preserve it.  Although Jing Wen didn't dare to say how noble it was, it should still be possible to preserve those ancient technical books.  "Husband, in this case, I have something to ask you." Cheng Lin said.  "What happened?" Jing Wen asked.  Cheng Lin took a book, handed it to Jing Wen, and said, "This was given to us by a Hu merchant from the Western Regions. He hoped that we could publish these books. They said this was a book from a country in the West called Greece.  And this author is called Ya. We didn't plan to publish it, but since you are here, please read it! " "Why won't the book on the Western Regions be published?"  road.  "What good books can Hu people have? They are all barbarians!" Cheng Lin said disdainfully.  But Jing Wen immediately said seriously: "Westerners are not necessarily barbarians. Our Chinese civilization is just one of the birthplaces of the four major civilizations in the world, so we should not discriminate against them." "The birthplace of the four major civilizations in the world?" Cheng Lin obviously  Never heard of this statement.  "In fact, there are two birthplaces of the world's four major civilizations in the east and west. The ones in the west are ancient Babylon and ancient Greece. The ones in the east are China and India. If we want to talk about the establishment of a unified political power,  In time, ancient Greece and ancient Babylon were earlier than us. The unified dynasty of ancient Greece and ancient Babylon was actually earlier than our Xia Dynasty, which means that we were earlier than the Yan and Huang emperors.  They already have a dynasty of the same generation. You think, who has his own culture and clothes earlier?" Jing Wen asked instead.  This is not an issue that can be dismissed casually.  Among the four major ancient civilizations in the world, China actually ranks third in terms of civilization formation.  Ancient Babylon and ancient Greece had already formed civilizations as early as 4,000 BC, while China was in 3,000 BC, so it was a full thousand years later.  This is not because Jing Wen looks down on his own country, but this is actually the case.  "So, do you think they can be absolute barbarians?" Jing Wen asked.  "Well, this!" Cheng Lin couldn't say anything.  After all, according to this statement, they already had their own unified country during the period of the Yan and Huang Emperors. This was obviously ahead of China. Of course, Cheng Lin could not refute it.  "Then how are they?" Cheng Lin asked.  "Ancient Greece and Babylon have already been extinct. And that Tianzhu has now been divided and has never been reunited. As for China, it has never been extinct." Jing Wen said.  "Extermination? What does it mean?" Cheng Lin asked.  Jing Wen went on to say: "Nation subjugation and genocide are two different terms. Subjugation of a country is at most a change of dynasty, which means that the Sui Dynasty has become our current Tang Dynasty, which is the subjugation of the Sui Dynasty. But genocide is also civilization.  They were all destroyed, the written language and all kinds of books were destroyed, and finally no one claimed to be a member of their nation. Therefore, genocide is more terrible than the destruction of the country. " Cheng Lin also admitted this.  After all, cutting off the inheritance of civilization is actually more terrifying than subjugating the country.  Everyone can easily accept that the Sui Dynasty became the Tang Dynasty.  It can even be accepted that the Tang Dynasty will also perish and become another dynasty.  But it is almost difficult for everyone to accept that civilization is cut off. Unless all of China is killed, it is impossible for China to be cut off.  The Chinese civilization has also experienced several complete subjugations.  The closest one is the era of Wu Huan Hua.  However, we managed to survive that time. Instead, the Hu people were assimilated a lot, and even the Northern Wei Dynasty was overall Sinicized.  At that time, although the Hu people claimed to be powerful.  But in the end it was Chineseized behind the scenes.  However, this price was caused by the blood and tears of the Han people and is not worth promoting.  Later, when the Mongols came and the Manchus ruled, part of the Mongols were actually Hanized, and they were ruled according to the methods of Han civilization.  The Manchus and the Qing Dynasty simply forgot the Manchu people's own language and spoke Chinese most of the time.  Therefore, the Manchus and Qing Dynasties were actually Chineseized, but the price was the blood and tears of the Han people.  However, although the country was destroyed, at least its cultural heritage was preserved.  According to Western standards, as long as culture is not cut off, there is still hope for restoration.  So I saw an article in Jingwen in later generations, which was the last lesson in the primary school textbook.?It mentioned that preserving one's own language as much as possible is the hope of preserving the country.  This is the so-called civilization. Even if the country is destroyed, as long as the civilization is not lost, it can still be restored.  Just like the later Ming Dynasty and the Republic of China when the Han people returned to the country again.  "Although Greece and Babylon have perished, they still have many classics that have survived. These are the treasures of their civilization. Since their civilization was formed a thousand years earlier than ours, we can all produce such a splendid civilization.  Why do you think they are a group of barbarians?" Jing Wen asked.  "Then if they were powerful, wouldn't they be destroyed?" Cheng Lin asked.  "There are actually many reasons for the demise of a country, and it is not necessarily the backwardness of civilization. And even if they are barbarians, why do you think they have nothing we can learn from? Confucius also said back then that when three people walk together, there must be one teacher. What's more?  Their civilization is no less than ours, what can we do if we learn from it? If we keep working behind closed doors, how can our civilization develop?" Jing Wen asked.  "You ask editors to publish those foreign books. If you can translate them, try to translate them. If you can't translate them yourself, then ask foreigners to translate them. In short, we can also publish these foreign books at public expense.  . We spend our own money to publish it and then sell it. Our Chinese civilization is also a place that embraces all rivers. If you stubbornly believe that you can develop well, you will only be able to stand on your own feet and gradually die out."
