0832 Small yard speaks the world(1/5)
Guo Songtao was very curious that the cute CEO did not continue to talk about asking him to go to China. Instead, he felt a little embarrassed. He did not make an appointment in person, as if he was self-indulgent.
Guo Songtao talked about his own diplomatic philosophy. A basic content of Guo Songtao's diplomatic view was that he opposed treating Western countries as "barbarians" and advocated treating them as independent civilized countries. In view of the "arrogance" habit of feudal literati, Guo Songtao believed that China had no other way except to "learn" the West.
Guo Songtao had a strong concern for his family and country, but his patriotic feelings and nationalist consciousness were presented in an extremely rational form, and were closer to modern nationalist concepts, which was therefore misunderstood by people at that time. This was first reflected in Guo Songtao's view of the distinction between China and the barbarians. At that time, traditional scholars and officials still emphasized the distinction between China and the barbarians. Through his own actual observation, Guo Songtao believed that the West could no longer be regarded as barbarians.
He believed that "the Western Kingdom was established for two thousand years, and political and religious cultivation was both the main and the last. It rose to Liao and Jin for a while, and the situation was extremely different." He refuted the traditional scholars' concept of "China has the right, but barbarians have no right", and further pointed out that relatively backward areas and nations in the past could be transformed into advanced areas and nations.
Guo Songtao also put forward his own different views on the traditional Chinese central view. The traditional Chinese central view believes that China lives in the world and is the result of the regular education and civilized etiquette and morality. The barbarians do not have this kind of education and civilization, and they lived in the past "the despicable world". Because the pattern of culturalization of Chinese and Western civilizations has been dislocation in history, but people at that time still look at the world with the old eyes of worldism, Guo Songtao felt the national crisis contained in it.
Guo Songtao denounced the scholars and officials for "only being arrogant and righteous, and to disregard the people's fathers; they must make the country and destroy their families, and be famous for their arguments." He called on the people to abandon the traditional "distinguish between the barbarians and the Xia", rationally analyze Western things, put down the ambition of "the country of the heavens" and learn from the West, establish a new world consciousness, and follow the modern nationalist path of enriching the country and strengthening the people.
Guo Songtao was born in the old camp of feudal literati and literati. He was proficient in traditional culture, understood the Western Affairs Office, and conducted field investigations of Western civilization, which provided objective conditions for him to evaluate and compare the overall study of Chinese and Western culture. What he was superior to his contemporaries was that he opposed the view of Western countries at that time as barbarians, and admitted that "they also had two thousand years of civilization." Although this civilization was not perfect, it was better than Chinese civilization as a whole. This broke the traditional "Bian Xia View", "Physical and Use View", "Tao Gua", "Physical and Ultimate View" and so on that which restricted people's thoughts.
Guo Songtao's thoughts played an active role in "Western learning spreads to the east - the spread of Western thought and culture to China, setting a precedent for the vigorous reform and reform trends behind him."
The cute president talked with Guo Songtao and had to admit that Guo Songtao was a modern Westernization thinker and a pioneer of Chinese professional diplomats.
"Your ideas are completely consistent with the new learning and diplomatic spirit of China. I am still the question I just said. Is there any soil for the Qing court to implement it? If the royal family does not take the lead, can the improvement of the bottom layer be achieved to form a general trend across the country?" The cute president continued to ask with a smile.
Guo Songtao pondered, not knowing how to answer, and after a long time, he said: "I believe that the court will wake up when seeing the changes in China and the models of China."
The cute president nodded with a smile, "Thank you for your high evaluation of China, but I want to tell you, and you are impossible, because China is the Chinese country of all people, and the power of China is in the hands of the people. This can be seen from the tens of millions of Huacui Party. China is led by the Huacui Party, and the Huacui Party is composed of thousands of people. Therefore, the representative of China is the national interest. How can it be beneficial to the country's development? The Qing court is only in the hands of a few princes, ministers and royal families. Even if there are some royal members who wake up like you said, but they can occupy more than one in the royal family.
What about the big weight? This collective was originally built on the top of the pyramid and was the representative of the big landlord class. Can it fight against the power of the country by relying solely on individual strength? Don’t say that this possibility does not exist. Even from today on, the Qing court all woke up, everyone began to reform and follow the new learning. Can the feudal ministers agree? Can the bureaucrats and landlords of vested interests agree? They could have lived a life of lying to count money, and you let them all start over. Are they willing? Just like you guys suddenly said that they would replace the prime ministers, will the ministers agree? "
Although the words of the cute president are simple, they are easy to understand. The key is that they cannot be refuted.
"The same thing, knowing that it is impossible to do it, and being loyal to the emperor and patriotism is the principle that our scholars should respect." Guo Songtao said with a sigh. "President, you are also a scholar. I heard that the president became a scholar at the age of two, so he would not not understand this principle, right?"
