One of the reasons why the Chinese have been able to achieve such brilliant achievements is that they never show off their noble bloodlines in front of everyone! An expert in the field of politics expressed his views categorically, which caused widespread heated discussions in Chinese academic circles.
However, as soon as this statement came out, it immediately attracted some ** verbal criticism, believing that the message conveyed was really "racial discrimination", and Chinese scholars were not to be outdone, and looked for strong evidence from the vast historical classics to refute it.
The scene of this heated debate was like a raging storm in a political storm, and all sides were arguing with each other and refusing to give in to each other, and for a time it seemed a little chaotic. It was at this time that a group of insightful Chinese scholars began to delve into the origins of the long history of Chinese ancestry.
They pointed out that in the vast land of the East, the great Chinese nation has undergone five great national integrations, and each of these integrations has greatly promoted the vigorous development of Chinese culture, science and technology.
First of all, it can be traced back to the distant Yaoshun period, when the Central Plains was still in a simple tribal society. The various clans are scattered among the mountains and rivers in tribal units, and competition and conflict are frequent.
However, like the Yellow Emperor, who was wise and perceptive, he deeply understood that if he continued to be mired in such strife, the true prosperity and growth of the Chinese nation would become unattainable, so he boldly proposed the remarkable concept of "clan integration", hoping that by merging the alliances, the different clans would eliminate the bitterness between different clans and achieve peaceful coexistence together.
As this great vision was put into practice, the wisdom of different clans was brought together, and modern technology was spread among these previously little-known tribes, which greatly improved the craftsmanship of each clan.
As a result, the production capacity of the entire nation ushered in a revolutionary breakthrough, laying a solid foundation for future prosperity.
The second major ethnic fusion took place during the Qin and Han dynasties. Qin Shi Huang, who spread his wings and soared, unified Chinese mainland like an eagle striking the sky, uniting the people of all ethnic groups from all corners of the world under the same banner of the motherland.
In order to eliminate the economic barriers between various ethnic groups, he abolished the various monetary systems under the feudal system of princes, and instead unified the national standards of weights and measures, so as to dilute the differences between ethnic groups, and the cutting-edge technology in various places was also concentrated, forming the cornerstone of Qin's strong national power.
This was followed by a period of war and turmoil that lasted for hundreds of years between the North and the South, and the hope for peaceful reunification became stronger in the hearts of the people of all nationalities. It was at this moment that the Sui and Tang dynasties unified their territories and combined the forces of various ethnic groups to make the social productive forces climb to a new peak again, thus laying a solid foundation for the cultural prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Since the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, and even the Qing Dynasty, a group of nomads from distant borders have successfully ruled the Central Plains. Even though they themselves came from the wilderness, they did not treat the Han people like a genocide, but instead made a choice to integrate with the vast and profound Chinese culture.
In the course of this history, the agricultural civilization and the bold and rough nomadic civilization were intertwined here, giving birth to an incomparably profound national cultural heritage.
Finally, after the birth of New China, the founding leader *** firmly shouted: "Fifty-six nationalities are all brothers and sisters!" "Under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China, 56 ethnic groups, including the Han nationality, have been closely united, and many ethnic minorities have also joined this powerful Chinese family.
After thousands of years of collision and integration, the Chinese nation has developed into a big family full of tolerance and diversity. It is precisely because of this unparalleled spirit of cultural tolerance that it has further laid the cornerstone for China's rapid progress and development.
On the other hand, compared with China's tolerance and openness, some other countries have shown significant excess obsession and ambivalent thinking on the issue of "blood". For example, in the United States, as a diverse group of immigrants, the white community in the United States often has a deep concern about their "ancestry".
In fact, the ancestors of most white Americans were not native Americans, on the contrary, they were mostly descendants of immigrants from the European continent. In tracing the origins of their history, these whites were surprised to find that they were also "strangers" in the long river of history.
This ambiguity of self-identity has led them to feel inferior, so they have turned to emphasizing differences in skin color, and even insisting on defining people with multiple colors** as "inferior races."
Sadly, however, for African-Americans, racist consciousness remains deeply entrenched in American society. Looking back at history, we can find that many black civil rights fighters did not hesitate to throw themselves into the crucible of the revolutionary war and sacrificed their precious lives for equal rights, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and so on.
Even so, there are still some classes in today's American society who are full of strong contempt and antipathy for black people, and whenever they see black people, they will always involuntarily frown and pick their eyebrows, show a look of boredom, and even feel accustomed to this.
Worldwide, we have to admit that in Indian society, the cult of blood is more extreme. Especially during the reign of the supreme Brahmans in ancient times, citizens were strictly divided into four strict hierarchical levels: the clergy – Brahmins, the aristocracy – Kshatriyas, the common people – Vaishyas, and the slaves – Shudras.
Such a system has been clearly endowed with an extremely high status, and has gradually evolved into a rule of faith that has been passed down from generation to generationAlthough in modern times, India has resolutely abolished such a system of class discrimination, however, it takes a long and difficult process to change the concept, and to this day, there are still a large number of Indian citizens who are deeply rooted in this outdated idea and cannot be easily changed.
On the other hand, on the European continent, first-class countries such as the British royal family and Nazi Germany regarded purity of blood as the highest ideal they aspired to. The British, for example, attach great importance to the inheritance of royal blood, believing that only those who are born with noble and sincere blood can enjoy the glory of royalty.
However, this almost pathological paranoia hastened the decline of the entire imperial family, and at the same time gave birth to a deep family genetic risk of disease As for the Nazi regime in Germany, they inflicted immeasurable suffering on the country and its people by committing the brutal genocide of the so-called "non-pure" Jews.
However, the facts of a long time have fully proved that whether a person can achieve outstanding achievements is not simply limited by the purity of his bloodline, but more determined by the hard work and unremitting pursuit of the individual.
Whether in history or in real life today, there are many examples of successful ways to overcome this value trap, such as the former American ** Barack Obama, who was born into an ordinary black family, however, did not suffer any restrictions because of this, on the contrary, he became the first black person in American history, after eight years of experience, he successfully led the United States through the severe financial crisis of 2008 and laid a solid foundation for the country's economic recovery.
In addition to Obama, there are many outstanding Black athletes who have made their mark in the world of sports, showing the world the unlimited potential of the Black community.
For example, the graceful dancer-like swing of Michael Jordan, the world's flyer, has captivated thousands of fans; Sprint prodigy Usain Bolt has repeatedly broken world records with impressive results, becoming the greatest sprinter in the history of athletics.
Obviously, a person's excellence does not only depend on the inheritance of blood, but should be attributed to his own hard work and value pursuit. Although the remarks made by American academic authorities have a certain purpose and even strategy, I would like to emphasize that their views are not epicly correct.
As many Chinese scholars have said, the blood of the Chinese nation is not pure and flawless, but is the wonderful product of many large-scale ethnic integrations. It is precisely this kind of national mind that is generous and tolerant of all rivers and rivers that has shaped the glorious Chinese civilization with a very inclusive spirit and promoted China's perseverance and revitalization.
It is no exaggeration to say that the take-off and glory of today's China originates from the indomitable hard work of every Chinese for thousands of years, and the Chinese have long abandoned those outdated, outdated, backward and ignorant "descent theory", and instead projected their focus on more positive things, and contributed all their efforts to the prosperity and stability of the country with practical actions Today, the reason why China can create so many remarkable achievements is because of the wisdom and sweat of hundreds of millions of Chinese people who have integrated into it, no matter where they are. From the factory production line to the border line of the motherland, from the laboratory research to the campus podium, we are diligent and down-to-earth Chinese everywhere.
They are using their industrious hands and intelligent brains to make hard efforts to build an increasingly powerful motherland Obviously, the various remarks of American experts are bound to fail to shake the unswerving firm conviction of the Chinese people On the journey of realizing the great rejuvenation of the nation, the challenges ahead are still arduous, but we firmly believe that the Chinese people will unite as one, forge ahead bravely, jointly write a new chapter of the era, and lead the motherland to a more prosperous and powerful future!
