question of heaven

On August 2017, 8, there are still three days before the current "Cangshan Summit".According to previous events, Cao Lizhi and the others would definitely take action at this time, and Teacher Chu and the others waited for this to happen with a calm attitude.On the tenth day, Cao Lizhi and the others did not wait, but He Miao appeared.When Wu Xiufeng came to Teacher Chu's house, he saw the teacher and He Miao talking, which seemed natural but not close.

He Miao said: "Uncle Zhuang is also coming to the summit this time. I will arrive in Kunming at noon tomorrow. I will go to Cangshan Mountain in Dali with him. I came one day in advance to see my father. I have something else to say to you. Come with me." Let's go outside for a walk."

Wu Xiufeng greeted the teacher, and walked out of the cultural center with He Miao.

He Miao said leisurely: "Recalling what happened a while ago, I feel that my behavior was really childish, and the guilt in my heart is beyond words."

"He Miao, don't say that." Wu Xiufeng said, "It's my fault that hurt you. You have nothing to do with it."

He Miao said: "Actually, I have already seen Pu Yan's position in your heart, but I didn't expect it to be so important. What happened during that time almost changed all my previous standards, and many of my views on my father and others. It’s changed. My self-will hurt you, but I didn’t do anything good. This is what the saying goes, ‘harming others but not benefiting yourself’, I really regret it.”

"My own mistakes were even more outrageous." Wu Xiufeng said: "Now, I finally dare to admit that the concern for you at that time was not only to sincerely wish you well, but also to use you to defeat Cao Jianfeng. Thinking of this, I feel that I am not as upright and upright as I used to claim to be."

He Miao said: "I was a little unconvinced at first, but now I have figured it out, because you are following the right path of turning 'both losses' into 'the best of both worlds'; especially when you and Uncle Zhuang met in Beijing, you didn't say a word. I belittled Teacher Cao and the others. Therefore, although you have a little bit of intention to use me, I still want to thank you, and at the same time, I also admire your character."

Wu Xiufeng said: "He Miao, you have grown up, I am relieved by your words, this feeling is really good."

He Miao said: "The summit is very important. Uncle Zhuang asked me to tell you that he has something to tell you when he arrives in Cangshan tomorrow; in addition, he spoke highly of your masterpiece "Declaration of Anthropology", saying that he really didn't read it." It's your fault."

A seeker comes to the golden temple, he has no choice

walked in!

On August 2017, 8, Mr. Chu and his party of four came to Dali Cangshan Mountain accompanied by the afterglow of the setting sun.The mountain is still the one that can bring beauty and tenacity to people, and the hotel is still the simple and comfortable Cangshan Hotel.

As soon as they entered the hotel lobby, they saw He Miao walking over.When she got to the front, she first called her dad, then said hello to Chu Xiuxiu and Cheng Huang, and finally said to Wu Xiufeng: "Uncle Zhuang is waiting for you, I will take you to see him."

Wu Xiufeng turned to look at the teacher, saw him nodding, and followed He Miao to a small living room on the fifth floor.He Miao said softly: "The people who are talking to Uncle Zhuang are the leaders of the cultural systems of various provinces and cities. They will leave in a while. You can have a good chat with Uncle Zhuang."

Wu Xiufeng turned his head and joked to her, "Why does it feel like you are my manager?"

"That's good!" He Miao said: "If you have anything to say, we can talk about it later. When you finish talking, there is plenty of time."

He stopped talking and walked straight inside, only to see Mr. Zhuang talking and laughing with seven or eight people around him.

Seeing Wu Xiufeng coming in, Teacher Zhuang showed a loving smile like an elder and introduced: "This is Wu Xiufeng, the review article "Please Take Your Places" that has been popular on the Internet for five years, and the recently published "Manifesto of Anthropology" It is his work, a real rising star in the field of culture and education."

Wu Xiufeng looked at these strangers and was about to say a few words of modesty, but was surrounded by admiration.

Teacher Zhuang went straight to the topic: "What is the topic of your speech this time, and what is the name?"

Wu Xiufeng said respectfully: "'Talk about cultural construction', a very common name."

"This is the best way. The more ordinary it is, the more extraordinary it can be." Teacher Zhuang said: "Any kind of culture can only radiate strong vitality if it serves the general public."

All the people present nodded frequently, and some of them smiled attentively at Mr. Zhuang.Teacher Zhuang continued: "Everyone, I have something to do with Wu Xiufeng right now, let's talk again when we find a chance." Those people hurriedly stood up and walked away with courteous smiles.

Teacher Zhuang said: "It's been a few months since we met in Beijing last time. Today should be the second meeting."

Wu Xiufeng said, "Yes, the second time."

Teacher Zhuang said, "I feel like we are very familiar people."

Wu Xiufeng said respectfully: "This is not only your modesty, Mr. Zhuang, but also your self-cultivation."

"You must already know." Teacher Zhuang said: "The compilation of the cultural reform plan has been suspended, and we plan to make a decision after this summit. I hope that as you said, there will be novel and practical values ​​at this summit. This will have extremely important significance for the next step of cultural reform.”

"It depends on Mr. Zhuang's own judgment." Wu Xiufeng said: "With your knowledge and bearing, you will definitely come to an accurate judgment."

Teacher Zhuang said: "I have learned a little bit about the process of the summit. The first and second days are individual speeches, the third and fourth days are free debates, and the last day is the closing of the summit. Of course, during this process, there must be Small-scale debates are indispensable; otherwise, the summit will be much less important."

Wu Xiufeng said: "Today is my second time participating in the summit, and the rules are the same as last time."

"It's the same." Mr. Zhuang said: "The difference is that this time there is a foreign friend participating, and he is a China hand. I hope you, a kid, will not be afraid to show off your peak at this summit, and show your true skills. To lay the foundation for your own future is also to show the demeanor of contemporary Chinese young people in front of foreign friends, is there a problem?"

Wu Xiufeng said: "I was a little apprehensive. After hearing what you said just now, Mr. Zhuang, I feel more at ease. I will do my best to live up to your expectations."

Teacher Zhuang said: "The "Manifesto of Anthropology" you recently published is a brand-new science. Are the contents described in it all your thoughts and views?"

Wu Xiufeng said: "Most of the content in it was taught by Mr. Chu. I sorted it out and simplified it. There are also some breakthroughs of my own."

Teacher Zhuang nodded and said, "Over the years, I have been paying attention to the academic views of famous scholars, including your teacher. According to what you just said, you invented the 'special position theory', right?"

Wu Xiufeng's face darkened suddenly, and he thought of Pu Yan: "It's strange to say, I came to this epiphany when I was extremely hurt."

"It's not surprising." Teacher Zhuang said: "Otherwise, why are great works born in pain? Think about it, whether it is music, painting and other arts, or cultural, scientific research and other academic great works are the same , It’s just that your theory seems to have not been fully explained.”

"Teacher Zhuang really hits the nail on the head." Wu Xiufeng said, "It is indeed as you said, I only figured out this theory not long ago."

"As a chat speech, this is enough." Teacher Zhuang said: "But as a weighty work, a lot of literature is needed to supplement and improve. I hope you can complete this feat as soon as possible after the summit, Let this theory of thought shine in reality."

He continued: "In addition, I would like to share with you my own opinion. In the academic field, if you want to become a master, there are two possible paths. One is to study the ideas and theories of the predecessors comprehensively and thoroughly, and then integrate them into The second is to completely establish your own ideological theory. The former is "broad and deep", while the latter is "new and strange". Your thoughts and speeches, especially your "Anthropology" The viewpoints shown in the Manifesto are really unspoken before, and it is very novel and shocking. Whether it is correct or not will be judged later, but you have achieved "new and strange". Fortunately, academics are not laws, as long as It is not fallacies that mislead people’s hearts, so different voices are allowed to exist. You must not let down your good years. In the years to come, as long as you can stick to justice and keep making progress, you will be able to make great achievements.”

"Thank you Mr. Zhuang for your deep friendship, I will never forget it." Wu Xiufeng nodded frequently: "Mr. Zhuang, in fact, I am not that familiar with you. You make me feel like a very kind elder. I have never I really respect you in my heart, thank you for your affirmation.”

Teacher Zhuang smiled and said: "He Miao knows that I like talented young people, especially those with good morals and ability." He paused for a while and said with some regret: "I still have some things to do now. , it’s up to you. It’s up to you in the next few days, and I’ll let He Miao find you if there’s anything wrong.”

Wu Xiufeng and He Miao came to the lounge on the second floor and sat down in a corner.He Miao said, "I'm so happy to see you looking so radiant."

Wu Xiufeng said with a smile: "It's rare for my junior sister to give me a thumbs up, which makes me panic."

He Miao said: "If you don't come here, you will only be terrified in front of my father. You have never been in other times. Even in front of a big leader like Uncle Zhuang, you are just respectful and not terrified."

Wu Xiufeng said: "Junior Junior Sister has blazing eyes and can always show a distinctive ladylike demeanor."

He Miao smiled and said, "I've read your Manifesto of Anthropology. There are many things I don't understand, but I'm still amazed by the talent displayed in it. Uncle Zhuang said, you will definitely become an academic in the future." A generation of people in the world. You said just now that you came up with this theory under extremely painful circumstances, what do you mean?"

Wu Xiufeng said: "Pu Yan left home and escaped into Buddhism. I was really disheartened. It was under such circumstances that I inexplicably realized this theory."

He Miao said with emotion: "I remembered what my mother said, good luck tricks people."

Wu Xiufeng said: "Let it pass, we will move forward after all."

He Miao said, "Did my dad teach you a lot of the contents of the Manifesto of Anthropology?"

"Yes." Wu Xiufeng said: "Without your father, I would never be where I am today; not to mention the "Manifesto of Anthropology". It can be said that it was completed by your father and me."

He Miao said: "Uncle Zhuang said that at this summit, he will arrange several small debates and ask you to participate. You should perform well and let them see your demeanor."

Wu Xiufeng said: "For today's summit, we have prepared for five years, and your father has been looking forward to it for decades. I must seek justice for him in return for his teaching me."

At this time, I saw Cao Lizhi and Cao Jianfeng walking over.Before the people arrived, the voice came first, and Cao Lizhi's words with a smile came to his ears: "He Miao, Wu Xiufeng, what a coincidence that you are chatting here."

The two of them stood up quickly, and He Miao said, "Hello, Teacher Cao." Then he looked at Cao Jianfeng, without saying anything.Wu Xiufeng didn't seem to see Cao Jianfeng, and said to Cao Lizhi, "Mr. Cao, I can't help but feel happy when I hear your laughter."

"Really?" Cao Lizhi said, "If you don't bother me, let's chat."

Wu Xiufeng said: "Of course, let's talk."

Cao Lizhi said: "I will give a personal presentation tomorrow. What is the topic of your speech?"

Wu Xiufeng laughed and said, "Talk about cultural construction."

Cao Lizhi said: "It's a very common name, and it doesn't seem grand."

Wu Xiufeng said: "It doesn't matter, because I am also very ordinary."

Cao Lizhi didn't argue, and changed the tone: "Is there anything embarrassing that needs my help? For example, when do you want to give a speech?"

A flash in Wu Xiufeng's mind, he asked with a smile, "Can I be the first one?"

Cao Lizhi looked very embarrassed and said: "I personally support your first speech, but the organizing committee has already made a decision, and there is no way to change it."

Wu Xiufeng said: "Then it will be the last one in the speech section."

"It's easy, I can promise you now." Cao Lizhi said: "Can you tell me the reason? Why is it the last one."

Wu Xiufeng said bluntly: "Because my teacher is the last one on every 'Cangshan List'."

This sentence suddenly made the whole atmosphere awkward.Cao Lizhi and Cao Jianfeng smiled embarrassingly, while He Miao glared at each other.

"It's okay, Teacher Cao." Wu Xiufeng continued, "I don't want to compete with anyone, so let me be the last one."

After they left, He Miao was still furious: "It's only now that I truly understand how they bullied my dad. What does it mean to be the last on the 'list'? It's simply bullying too much."

Wu Xiufeng said with emotion: "The real situation is much more serious than this, your father is not easy."

He Miao said, "I'll go to Uncle Zhuang and put your speeches first. How can you be last?"

Wu Xiufeng said: "No, the last one is better."

He Miao said, "Why?"

Wu Xiufeng said with some pride: "The ones that people remember the most are often the first and the last."

He Miao thought for a while, then smiled and said, "So you are so cunning, you are a big villain."

Wu Xiufeng said: "Senior brother is a big villain, and junior sister is probably not much better? Otherwise, how can you call him a fellow traveler?"

He Miao smiled happily, and this smile bloomed on her beautiful face, like a delicious red rose blooming on the endless snow.

She smiled for a while and said, "I'm curious about the 'special position' you wrote, explain it to me?"

"Okay, since the little junior sister has changed her mind and is willing to learn, the senior brother is of course obliged." Wu Xiufeng said: "If you go shopping for clothes now, and the store owner makes you very angry, what would you do?"

He Miao said: "It goes without saying, change to another store without any hesitation."

Wu Xiufeng said: "Why, aren't you afraid that the shop owner will be unhappy?"

He Miao smiled disdainfully: "Because I am a customer, haven't you heard that the customer is God."

"Okay, God." Wu Xiufeng said with a smile: "Suppose your good friend is sick and hospitalized, and the doctor's arrogance annoys you, what would you do?"

He Miao thought for a while and said, "Be patient, let's wait until the illness is cured."

Wu Xiufeng said: "As a hospital, patients are still customers and gods. Since they are all 'Gods', why are they treated differently?"

He Miao pondered: "Benefits, are these all interests?"

"That's right, benefits." Wu Xiufeng continued: "If there is a person who can always bring you happiness and glory, you will treat him like this."

He Miao said: "You must like it very much?"

Wu Xiufeng said, "What will you do if you haven't seen each other for a long time?"

He Miao said: "Of course I hope to see him. I haven't seen him for a long time, so I really think about it. Is there any problem?"

"There is no problem, it's very normal." Wu Xiufeng said, "If this person understands you very well, what will happen?"

He Miao said: "That's great. Such a person can be called a confidant. I will cherish him very much and be attached to him."

Wu Xiufeng said: "So, the doctor who treats your good friend, the friend who brings you happiness and glory, has a 'special position' with you."

"No!" He Miao said: "Buying clothes and seeing a doctor with friends should belong to the same category, and they are all interests. But the friends who can bring glory mentioned later are not at all."

As expected of the teacher's daughter. "Wu Xiufeng sighed: "You are really smart, yes, they are not the same type.The former is interest needs, while the latter is emotional needs.Therefore, the 'special position' says that human beings share two of the most primitive drives, interests and emotions. "

He Miao said: "According to this idea, leaders of government departments, teachers who teach children, judicial personnel with law enforcement powers, lawyers, doctors, and people with strong connections are all 'special positions', which is really interesting. "

Wu Xiufeng said: "Yes, some occupations and some people in the world are always in a special position. A person with this 'special position' is, on the one hand, his own aura; It is caused by human wisdom. As long as he appears, it will naturally become the center."

He Miao said: "Hearing what you said, learning is really interesting, and it's not as boring as it used to be. If we can do this, there won't be nerds who 'just talk but don't practice' in the world."

"Sure enough, it's the teacher's yellow-haired girl who has inherited an understanding beyond ordinary people." Wu Xiufeng said with a smile: "Your father said that to be his student, you must be able to speak and do. It's a weird phenomenon that will collapse at the touch of a button."

He Miao said leisurely: "So, I really didn't get to know my dad well."

When Wu Xiufeng returned to the room, he happened to meet Teacher Chu and the others coming back.Chu Xiuxiu said: "Just now we met and chatted with Mr. Su and Gao Jie. How is your side?"

Wu Xiufeng told them about the meeting with Mr. Zhuang, together with the meeting with Cao Lizhi.Cheng Huang said: "Why is it the last one? Isn't this a bit of a bully?"

Wu Xiufeng said: "I asked for the last place, because Cao Lizhi will definitely arrange the first speech position for themselves."

Cheng Huang was about to ask, but Teacher Chu said: "Xiao Yang's approach is correct. If you can't be the first, then you should be the last. This is a kind of wisdom."

Chu Xiuxiu said: "Teacher Su has a student named Luo Yi, who is about 20 years old. He is really a talent."

At nine o'clock in the morning on August 8th, the seventh "Cangshan Summit" officially opened.After the host introduced the rules, it was time for their speeches.

Sure enough, Cao Jianfeng, a student of Cao Lizhi, was the first to take the stage. The title of his speech was "Culture and System in the New Era".

After listening to it for a while, Wu Xiufeng knew that his main idea was similar to what Ma Jing said at the last summit, but his expression was more powerful, unlike Ma Jing's long-winded speech last time.The speech was not too long, it ended in just over 30 minutes and won warm applause.

Then people from the cultural circles from all over the country came to the stage to give speeches. The central idea was to explain the importance of culture and the need to keep pace with the times.Among those who gave speeches in the afternoon, there were two relatively high-level speakers.One is Zhao Dongmin from Xi'an, whose speech is "Looking for the Great Significance of Traditional Culture"; the other is Zhang Wei from Shandong, whose speech is "Fairness and Justice in Culture".

On the 13th, Su Youzhou's student Gao Jie was still the first to take the stage.The title of his speech "Traditional Culture in the New Era" mainly expounded the profoundness of Chinese traditional culture and the reasons for its prosperity.On this basis, he emphasized that culture must be combined with real life in order to arouse strong vitality.

Wu Xiufeng smiled knowingly, remembering the discussion on Chinese culture between the two of them when Gao Jie came to Kunming some time ago.In the dimness, Gao Jie who was giving a speech on the stage also showed a knowing smile to himself.

In the last speech session, Wu Xiufeng stepped onto the podium: "Seniors and teachers, the topic of my speech today is "Talking about Cultural Construction". It is divided into four parts. First, the main characteristics of Chinese traditional culture; [-]. The meaning of culture in reality; [-]. The core idea of ​​Chinese culture in the new era; [-]. The construction and promotion of culture.”

He continued: "Next, I will elaborate on these four aspects. Culture is a torch of people's hearts. The main characteristics of Chinese culture can be summarized into three points: [-]. It is broad and profound, and it is difficult to pass on. If you have not lived in China for ten or eight years In [-], they could not understand the thoughts of Chinese culture at all, and could not comment on Chinese culture objectively and fairly. Second, they had more than enough defense and insufficient offense. It was mainly reflected in being too confident in familiar things and too fearful of unknown things. Third, being good at Skills, lack of essence. Mainly reflected in the fact that he is very good at tactics, but seriously lacks in strategy-------.

During his speech, he could still feel that the people below were shocked by the content of his speech.He knew in his heart that there were two reasons for this effect: one was that the content of the speech touched on the core of Chinese culture; the other was the concise and clear speech style that went straight to the point. After more than 20 minutes, his speech was coming to an end.

He finally said: "From this, we can understand that the primary factor in the formation of culture is the evaluation standard. With what kind of evaluation standard, what kind of culture will appear, and what kind of culture will appear. When 'utilitarian thinking' becomes the main evaluation criterion, the society will enter into a sick state, without family affection, trust, public morality, let alone dedication. As a result, there is a vicious cycle of not asking about the process. It is a shame for cultural workers to let 'utilitarian thinking' become people's thinking mode."

In the evening, Wu Xiufeng sat alone on the turf outside the hotel and looked at the mountains. He recalled Pu Yan's happy and jumping smile at the last summit; but at this moment, he was alone, and he felt endless emotion in his heart.While daydreaming, He Miao called to ask where she was, and Wu Xiufeng told her where she was.After a while, He Miao appeared in front of him, and said with a smile: "You are so relaxing, I am enjoying the night view of Cangshan Mountain secretly by myself."

Wu Xiufeng said: "It is said that in the depths of Cangshan Mountain, there is a village. People in this village have lived on Cangshan Mountain for generations. Although they are not rich, they are peaceful and peaceful. I don't know how many generations passed. And the beautiful girl. One day, the sky suddenly became different from previous years. The sun disappeared for a long time. It was so cold that the whole village fell into despair. The beautiful girl said: She is willing to go to the peak of Cangshan Mountain She went to pray to God to restore the old weather. So, she bid farewell to the people who saw her off, and came to the Canglang Peak of Cangshan Mountain alone. She did not eat or drink, and prayed devoutly. Ninety-nine and 81 days, her will moved God. Therefore, the God of Heaven and Earth released infinite power, and Cangshan Mountain returned to its former prosperity and tranquility. When everyone was happy, the girl was exhausted from kneeling and praying for a long time, and left her beloved earth and people. God prayed for her Moved by her spirit, she was named the 'Goddess of Cangshan Mountain', and let her bless the happiness of people living around Cangshan Mountain from generation to generation."

He Miao said: "This story is very touching, why haven't I heard it before?"

Wu Xiufeng said: "I made this up on the spur of the moment. It's the first time it came out. Of course you haven't heard of it."

He Miao wanted to be happy but also annoyed: "You are full of nonsense, you are a big villain!"

Wu Xiufeng laughed and said, "I forgot to tell you, the girl in the story is very similar to you."

"You think of Pu Yan, right?" He Miao sighed, "I know, you want to use this kind of strong face to relieve the pain in your heart."

Wu Xiufeng's expression suddenly dimmed: "I remembered a sentence Pu Yan said, 'I would rather lose the beauty than possess it in humiliation'. She also said that this is an honor she reserved for herself."

He Miao repeated this sentence lightly, and said, "This statement is very meaningful. It can be called 'Puyan's honor'. Maybe it will spread in the future and become an allusion!"

Wu Xiufeng still had a dignified expression, He Miao shook his hand and said: "A man should be able to pick up and put it down. Since it is an irreversible fact, let's put it down for now and do the things right now. What Yan hoped for." She continued: "Look at the mountain in front of me, it has been tempered by countless wind, snow, thunder and rain for thousands of years, but it still stands tenaciously in front of our eyes, and it has also bred countless lives. , this is the will of man."

Wu Xiufeng said with a smile: "Little sister is right, let him come if he wants to come."

He Miao said: "Uncle Zhuang asked me to tell you that there will be a very important debate in the past two days and a small rally tomorrow afternoon. You are invited to participate. I hope you will perform well."

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon on the third day of the summit, Teacher Chu, Chu Xiuxiu, Cheng Huang, and Wu Xiufeng arrived at a medium-sized conference room on the fifth floor.The people who participated in this meeting sat down casually one after another, but naturally divided into three camps: Cao Lizhi, Su Youzhou, and Chu Mengxiong.Teacher Zhuang sat alone with a foreign friend and He Miao, forming a fourth party.

After the host introduced the purpose and rules of the meeting, he said: "The theme of this debate is "Current Chinese Culture Construction Issues". Please speak up bravely and express your views."

Cao Lizhi first said: "There is no doubt that the development of Chinese culture is not only broad and profound, but also comprehensive and perfect. In order to make culture better serve mankind, what is most needed at present is to establish a cultural management system and promotion mechanism. The reason is very simple. Thousands of years of civilization in China has accumulated profound cultural heritage and practical experience. In the Chinese cultural system, there must be wisdom and wisdom, and there must be classics; therefore, we now need a sound system to carry out Management and promotion. Only in this way can such an excellent culture serve the public. Therefore, what is most needed at present is to improve the management system.

"How to build Chinese culture." Su Youzhou said: "I think it should be to rediscover the traditional classic thinking. China has developed by leaps and bounds in terms of economy in recent decades; however, the unavoidable fact is that people exaggerate money The role of utilitarianism is becoming more and more serious, and even foreign festivals are becoming more and more intense, while our own festivals that have been passed down for thousands of years are gradually becoming indifferent. If this continues, our excellent culture will be obliterated in history, and at the same time, the Chinese nation will be lost. Strong vitality. Therefore, what is most needed at present is to rediscover these classic cultures.

"I think." Cao Jianfeng said: "To establish a cultural system full of positive energy in China, the management system and promotion mechanism should be given priority."

Wu Xiufeng looked at the teacher and saw the teacher nodding to him, so he said: "On behalf of my teacher, we basically agree with Teacher Su's point of view of rediscovering traditional Chinese culture. The fact is true. All kinds of unhealthy trends in society now The evil spirit is becoming more and more prominent, and it has reached the point of no delay."

Cao Jianfeng said: "It's not that Chinese culture is not deep, and people don't like it, but the reason why it has been lost for decades is that there is no perfect construction and promotion system. Therefore, we are not short of classic ideas at present. What is lacking are institutional rules.”

Luo Yi, Gao Jie's younger brother, said: "Brother Cao, have you ever thought about why, as a Chinese, you ignore such an excellent Chinese culture? I think people don't discard things that are useful to them for no reason. The reason for this is This phenomenon is because people have not seen the really good classic ideas in Chinese culture. In other words, we should sort out and refine Chinese culture according to the needs of the development of the times, so that people can clearly know that the good things are, What's the use? Only in this way will people accept it consciously. Therefore, it is important to establish institutional rules, but the most important thing at the moment is to determine the cultural theme, followed by institutional rules."

Ma Jing said: "For decades, many cultural scholars in China have been doing this. Why is it ineffective?"

"Brother Ma," Gao Jie said, "Has no one in China managed and promoted culture for decades? For example, during this period, how many national resources have been consumed by you, and why have you not achieved much?"

Mike, a friend from the United States, interjected: "I have lived in China for more than ten years, and I have found that Chinese culture is indeed extensive, profound, and colorful. People like or even obsess over various cultures, but it is difficult to say what is the mainstream. .According to the Chinese people’s own saying, the benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom. What I mean is that this subject is not easy to grasp, or there is no such thing as priority.”

Chu Xiuxiu said: "In such a complex cultural system, it is really not easy to find the real subject. But no matter how difficult it is, this must be done, because this is the basis for our progress."

Mike said: "There are many similarities between Japanese culture and Chinese culture. May I ask what is the main idea you mentioned just now? See if it is the same as what Japan thinks of."

Just as Chu Xiuxiu was about to speak, Ma Jing said first: "If you compare carefully, you will find that there are essential differences between Japanese culture and Chinese culture. Comparing the two together is an insult to Chinese culture. They learn It’s very superficial, but the most important content is discarded.”

His short speech immediately won the approval of many young people, and Chu Xiuxiu, Wu Xiufeng, Gao Jie and others also nodded frequently.Cao Lizhi, Su Youzhou, Teacher Chu and other seniors value their status and have no words.Ma Jing looked around proudly and stopped speaking.

"About what Mr. Mike said 'Chinese culture has no distinction between primary and secondary'." Chu Xiuxiu said; "Our representative Wu Xiufeng has made it very clear in his speech yesterday, just six words: benevolence, justice , efficiency, this is the cultural subject thought in the new era of China. "

Cao Jianfeng said: "According to what you said, wouldn't many of China's excellent cultures be discarded?"

Wu Xiufeng said, "Brother Ma, what did we discard? You can give an example."

"For example, filial piety and honesty." Cao Jianfeng said: "Isn't the Confucianism advocated by Mr. Su emphasizing benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness? Are these all going to be discarded?"

"On the contrary, these contents will return." Wu Xiufeng smiled: "For example, the filial piety and honesty you mentioned just now, would a person full of benevolence not be filial to his parents? A fair and just person full of a sense of justice , will you not be honest?" Cao Jianfeng was speechless.

Mike said: "Why should benevolence, justice, and efficiency be the themes of Chinese culture in the new era, and shouldn't others be allowed?"

Wu Xiufeng said: "Because the core essence of Chinese culture is 'benevolence', this is the root of Chinese culture and the Chinese people can stand tall. Benevolence, justice, and efficiency are basic propositions with ultimate significance. Chinese culture is all-encompassing and profound. , From the perspective of inheritance, it is too complicated and difficult to promote; therefore, it is necessary to simplify the core subject, and in the process of promotion and publicity, it can be supplemented by other content to achieve the purpose of enlightenment and inheritance."

Mike said: "As far as I know, China was full of schools of thought and flowers blooming more than 2000 years ago. There were many academic schools. Why did Confucianism be regarded as the main culture? Other schools such as Taoism, Legalism, and Mohism cannot become Mainstream culture?"

"This is a very good question," said Gao Jie, "Yes, there are indeed many schools of academic culture in China, but 'Confucianism' can stand out and take the lead, mainly because of its advocacy of 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, all goodness and filial piety first' Confucianism just meets people's needs, while other schools can't do this at all. Therefore, although other schools have their own uniqueness in some aspects, they can't become the mainstream after all, and only Confucian culture has always occupied a leading position."
