"Yuanshen" was originally a Taoist concept, mostly found in Neidanshu. It refers to the innate spiritual essence of man, which is the source and basis of the acquired "knowledge of God" who can know, distinguish and think. The concept of the Yuan God was also a concept known only to a few people in ancient times, but at present, it is very well known. This is thanks to the various online fantasy novels that are popular nowadays.
In such works, it is often described that the Yuan god is described as follows: a certain monk died for some reason, but the yuan god stayed, so that he could reincarnate, or reshape the body, or find a replacement body, or simply take the body of someone else. In a word, as long as the Yuan God is still there, he will not really die.
No matter how much credibility these descriptions may be, I think it is very appropriate to use them as a metaphor for the meaning of culture for a person, a business, and even a nation.
People often say that china has a civilization of more than 5,000 years. Our nation has also been ahead of the world for thousands of years in history, but our nation has not been smooth sailing to this day, sometimes even very critical, and has come to the brink of extinction. But we're finally where we are today. The reasons for this are complex and even difficult to fully explain. But one thing is certain and recognized. That is, we have our own strong and advanced culture. This is like the "Yuan God" of our nation.
Foreigners seem to understand this too, and after all means have failed, they have taken our traditional culture to the target of destruction. Hope that this will destroy and enslave us again. Former U.S. President Richard Nixon, in his book "1999 Victory Without a War," clearly pointed out that "one day, the young people of China no longer believe in the teachings of their ancestors and their traditional culture, we Americans will win without a fight."
Brzezinski, an American strategic expert, a well-known think tank of the US government, and the most important director of the dissolution of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, brzezinski, went on to propose the so-called "nipple strategy". It is an attempt to completely eliminate our traditional culture and positive social psychology such as independent thinking and positive progress with pornography, violent games, war of words, soap operas, idol dramas, reality shows, entertainment stars, etc.
So we can see that since Gong Li became the first actor to appear on the cover of "Time Weekly" in the United States in 1996, our society has been filled with more and more youth idols, entertainment scandals, Hallyu, talent shows, online live broadcasts and other garbage culture. And our children are also becoming more and more addicted to various games. Some people even used games to name their daughters. I wonder what's in their hearts besides games and entertainment?
However, it is so easy to be wiped out by china, and now the revival of China's excellent traditional culture, which is now in full swing from top to bottom, is the most powerful counterattack for them.
