In the Old Book of Tang, there is a record that reads: "Woohoo! Wood shows in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. ”
The meaning expressed in this passage can be expressed by the idiom "tree big stroke". As we all know, the idea of making a big fuss has a long history, and at the beginning, it meant that those in the political arena would have to take greater risks because of their high reputation and high status. Nowadays it is not only used in the political arena, but for every person or whole who suffers from jealousy because he has something that others do not have.
Speaking of which, we have to mention our motherland. With a huge territory and a large number of citizens, China Chinese united our country to develop rapidly after a dark period, and in a short period of time it has become one of the most influential countries in the world. At the same time, however, it has also made China a big deal.
Among the many countries that are jealous or even dissatisfied with China's development, including the Vietnam that this article will talk about, there is another statement in Vietnam that many Chinese people cannot accept, that is, the Vietnamese often lament: If Guangxi Guangdong is not lost, the Vietnamese country will be very strong!
As we all know, Liangguang is China's inherent territory, when did it become Vietnam's "lost" territory? Let's take a look at what happened and what happened.
First, the Vietnamese sighed: If Guangxi guangdong had not lost its position, the Vietnamese state would have been very strong
As for Vietnam, because it is our neighbor and has close ties with China in history, the people of Vietnam are not unfamiliar. Especially in modern times, what happened between China and Vietnam is even more impressive.
As we all know, in modern times, China was suppressed by many countries and was once on the verge of being colonized, but fortunately, through the arduous struggle of the people, it finally drove the aggressors away, stabilized the domestic chaos, and established a new China.
However, after the founding of New China, although China at that time was not directly invaded by foreign powers, it was also suppressed in many aspects, and many countries were also looking at the tiger and trying to invade again.
Under such circumstances, Vietnam and China became "difficult brothers and sisters", and with China's help, Vietnam also avoided the tragedy of being colonized.
However, China's help did not make Vietnam feel grateful, and even later Vietnam fought a rake to war with China. In the end, the war ended with the victory of the Chinese side, and even though China advocated peaceful development, the contradictions and disputes between the two countries made the two countries no longer as friendly and harmonious as before.
With the passage of time, China's development speed far beyond Vietnam, so that Vietnam is deeply out of reach, in such a situation, there is a voice of emotion within Vietnam: if Guangxi Guangdong is not lost, the Vietnamese country will be very strong.
For such remarks, Chinese are naturally very confused, is Liangguang not China's inherent territory, why would Vietnam claim to be the territory they lost?
Second, Liangguang was once the territory of the South Vietnamese state, and Vietnam secretly changed the concept in an attempt to reverse black and white
In understanding why Vietnam regards Liangguang as the old soil of its country, we should start with the ancient country of "South Vietnam".
This Nanyue state was founded in 204 BC as an ancient state whose capital was Panyu in present-day Guangzhou, China. When people understand the history of the South Vietnamese kingdom, they can find that the territory of the ancient South Vietnamese kingdom not only included two cantons, but also extended to the north of the present-day Vietnamese territory!
It is precisely because of this layer that many Vietnamese believe that the South Vietnamese state represents a part of the history of Vietnam, and the territory owned by the entire South Vietnamese state should be counted as the historical territory of Vietnam, which is why the Vietnamese will regard Liangguang as their lost territory.
However, after understanding the history, it can be found that in fact, the Vietnamese side's argument is completely untenable, and it is the result of stealing the concept.
Northern Vietnam and China's Liangguang did briefly belong to the territory of the South Vietnamese State, but in later development, the people of the Liangguang area were combined with the Han people in the south, thus forming a new nation, which made their bloodline change, that is to say, the key between the two Cantons and Vietnam today is not strong, and it is the Vietnamese side that in order to be able to occupy the two Cantons in speech, it believes that it and the two Cantons are branches of the South Vietnamese State, believing that the two Cantons are the old land that they have lost.
However, it is clear that this statement from the Vietnamese side is completely wrong, as it is an inseparable part of the mainland territory, Liangguang has always been the land of the mainland. As for the Vietnamese claim, we can refute it by knowing the full history!
Third, to understand the complete history, the Vietnamese claim become nonsense
In fact, if we want to talk about the history of Liangguang belonging to China, the earliest can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty on the mainland, when Qin Shi Huang sent troops to occupy and garrison the present-day Liangguang area after unifying the world. This history is enough to show that since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, Liangguang has always been China's inherent territory.
In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo established the State of South Vietnam to escape the chaos of war, but then it was suppressed by the han wudi emperor, so even some areas in the north of vietnam were included in the official territory of China.
By the time of the Ming Dynasty, Vietnam had become a vassal state of China, and even the origin of the name "Vietnam" today was because during the Qing Dynasty, the Jiajing Emperor named their king "King of Vietnam", which gave it the name of "Vietnam".
It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that China's national strength was weakened that Vietnam was occupied by the French, and the Vietnamese side achieved independence after decades of effort, but continued to use the name "Vietnam" until its independence, which has not changed to this day.
From this point of view, it is nonsense for the Vietnamese to say that China's liangguang is their lost territory, and that the two cantons have been the inherent territory of the mainland since ancient times!
We can even say that it was not the Vietnamese who once ruled Liangguang, but the Chinese dynasty that ruled Liangguang in those years, and once ruled the territory of northern Vietnam!
It is not difficult to understand such a reason, and the reason why a large number of Vietnamese people now think that Liangguang belongs to Vietnam is mainly because the economic prosperity of Liangguang has made them a little red-eyed.
As we all know, after the implementation of reform and opening up on the mainland in the 1980s, the economy and science and technology of the two Guangzhou areas have developed very rapidly for a time, and guangdong's economy has also become the leader of the national economy!
This made the Vietnamese say that if the two Cantons were not lost, then Vietnam would be very strong, but they ignored one point, they only saw the great achievements made by the two Cantons today, but ignored the efforts made by the Chinese people behind this huge achievement, which is really a blind eye!
brief summary
After understanding the real and complete history, one can see that in fact, the northern part of the territory of today's Vietnam has also been part of the Chinese territory for a long time in history, so if according to those Vietnamese, liangguang, which was briefly controlled by Vietnam, is now "lost" to Vietnam, then we can also think that the north-central territory of Vietnam should be part of the territory that China has lost in history!
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the two Cantons were really under the rule of Vietnam, it would never have been possible to develop to the current level, so if the Vietnamese people lamented that Guangxi Guangdong had not lost its way, the Vietnamese state would have been very strong, which was really nonsense.
Therefore, I also hope that the Vietnamese people can face up to history, and at the same time do not make excuses for the backwardness of their own countries, because the development history of each country has never been flat, China was once incomparably strong, it has also experienced dark times, and now it is rising again, relying on unremitting efforts, rather than lamenting what it does not have!
