introduction
China has always been regarded as one of the ancient civilizations, and when the other three civilizations were faulty, Chinese culture continued to stick to the land of China until today, up and down for 5,000 years!
However, with the Age of Discovery and the Industrial Revolution, Western culture began to lead the world, and the agricultural civilization represented by China began to gradually fall behind.
And Westerners are very jealous of the mainland, in order to suppress China's development, do everything, today, from a cultural point of view, how European and United States set up "cultural traps" to erode the traditional culture of the mainland!
You don't see a kindergarten in Chongqing, where the children in the audience shouted "Santa Claus" to the statue of Confucius......
(Chongyang)
1. Confucius becomes Santa Claus
The cultural penetration of Western countries into the mainland began as early as modern times, with the beginning of the Opium War, China began to lag behind the world, and gradually formed the concept of "the West is ahead", at that time, in the eyes of many people, as long as it is Western, it is good!
Therefore, later, the Qing government also launched a series of "Westernization" movements, including the Westernization Movement, the Wuxu Reform, the New Deal at the end of the Qing Dynasty, etc., all of which were in the process of learning from the West.
However, with the help of some people in the mainland and the erosion of Western culture, many traditional cultures in the mainland have become tasteless!
(Westernization Movement)
The most notable is Confucius!
For example, in some translations, Confucius is translated by the West as "Santa Claus", the sacred representative dragon in the hearts of Chinese, and it is also a symbol of evil in the eyes of foreigners, and even Chinese rice is named "India rice" and "Japan rice" in the world. There are many, many others, and after the traditional culture of the mainland is eroded, countries such as Japan and South Korea will be able to easily steal our culture openly in the international community.
Even in Korea, there are now more than 270 Confucian temples!
The Confucianism represented by Confucius throughout the entire feudal society period in the mainland is a representative figure of ancient Chinese culture, although he was used in political struggles starting from Emperor Wudi of Han, Confucius is still a banner in the hearts of the Chinese!
However, in recent years, with the gradual introduction of Western culture, many Chinese have celebrated the "foreign festival", and under the rendering of the media and businesses, Christmas is very lively and grand in the mainland.
(Christmas in China)
And Westerners have also taken this opportunity to launch cultural erosion against China! The image of Confucius in Taiwan has now been gradually changed to Santa Claus!
At Christmas Day in 2014, 50 Santa Claus held balloons and patrolled the streets with the Q version of Confucius in the area of Huashan Cultural and Creative Park in Taipei, sending "Merry Christmas" wishes to the public.
Unaware of the fact that as this activity unfolds, the image of Confucius in China will gradually change to Santa Claus, and the old Chinese man famous for his Confucianism will most likely become a Western-style "Santa Claus" in the future!
(Confucius)
Many people think this is a good thing, and even a state media has praised that today's Chinese children can imagine Confucius as Santa Claus, which shows that traditional culture can be combined with modern education!
In other words, Confucius can also be said to be China's "Santa Claus", and some Chinese scholars have even suggested that September 28, Confucius's birthday, be set as China's "Christmas Day"!
But these people do not know that with the gradual development of this propaganda and activities, the traditional Chinese culture represented by Confucius himself will gradually change in the eyes of people, so that China's Confucius is no longer Confucius, but unified as Santa Claus in the West.
(Santa Claus)
This is essentially the infiltration and erosion of Chinese culture by European and American culture, and they continue to tamper with the traditional culture of the mainland, which eventually makes Chinese have a deeper and deeper impression of Western civilization, and then confuses right and wrong, grasps the right of cultural discourse, and occupies the commanding heights of cultural communication!
These Europeans and Americans continue to hype up Western culture on the mainland, and at the same time, they also falsify Confucius in the field of translation!
As we all know, the most critical link in the spread of culture is translation, without translation, people in other cultural areas will not be able to understand different cultures, so translation is very important for the spread of Chinese culture.
(Translator)
For Confucius, we most often praise him as "the master of all ages", "sage", "Confucian sage", etc., but in the translation of Westerners, they never recognize Confucius's status in China, but give him "philosopher", "educator", "teacher", etc., what is even more outrageous is that there are still people who translate Confucius as "Santa Claus"!
A program called "Foreigners in China" revealed this phenomenon, the Chinese name "stupid" United States guy "hopes to spread Chinese culture", so he uses Santa Claus to compare Confucius, find out the similarities between the two, and finally name Confucius "Christmas Confucius" in United States slang.
In his opinion, perhaps combining Confucius with Santa Claus can let more United States know about Confucius, but he does not know that with Confucius and Santa Claus, United States will eventually only think of Confucius as a "Chinese-style" Santa Claus, and will not think of him as a representative of traditional Chinese culture.
(Confucius)
European and United States must guard against the phenomenon of cultural infiltration and erosion on the mainland, but some people will still ask, is such a small problem really have very serious consequences?
The answer is yes, and history has told us!
Second, the serious consequences of cultural erosion
Everyone knows that the Soviet Union was the first socialist country in the history of mankind, and in the thirties of the last century, when there was a great crisis of capitalism in the West, the Soviet Union stood out and let the people of the world understand the benefits of socialism!
Since then, Western countries have also continued to learn from the Soviet Union, and also launched the development model of "state intervention in the economy", logically speaking, the Soviet Union can also be called the teacher of Western countries, but in order to break the Soviet Union, these countries can be said to do everything, to this day, they are still afraid of the Soviet Union!
Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, almost all the people in society were Westernized, from the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Literature to the infiltration of textbooks, the smear of Soviet heroes, and the use of a large number of Western objects to shock the senses of the Soviet people. At that time, the Soviet people began to imitate the West in all aspects of life, entertainment, and culture.
Gradually split from within......
(Life, entertainment, and culture have completely imitated the Soviet young people of the West)
Take the former Soviet republics Ukraine, Bulgaria and Poland as examples, in recent years, the demolition of World War II monuments and Red Army monuments has continued to occur in these countries!
Under the propaganda of Western culture, the merits of the ancestors are gradually forgotten by the younger generation, and with the corrosion of Western culture on people, the young people of these countries have also begun to be hostile to the Soviet culture, and even slander and insult the older generation who have made outstanding contributions, etc., and the desecration and destruction of monuments is the best embodiment!
(Graffiti monument to the Red Army)
If European and American culture continues to erode the mainland, then it is very likely that one day in the future, the mainland will also have this kind of "forgetting the ancestors"!
I hope that one day we will not want to see the history of our ancestors, and we will have to go to the Korea Museum to see it......
