The hearts of non-my race will be different

The ancients felt that non-ethnic groups must have different hearts, but in fact, it does not matter what the nation is, our neighbor India, in thousands of years of history, basically did not invade us. And the nomadic peoples of Mongolia have not stopped robbing us for thousands of years. In fact, it is a war between civilization forms.

This is the war between the two forms of civilization, an endless contradiction in an age without national integration and big commerce. Just think about it and you will find that this contradiction is irreconcilable. Of course, at the beginning of the later Age of Great Navigation, human beings added another form of civilization, called the marine civilization.

(1) The definition of heroes is different

The hero of a nation is often the cultural totem of that nation.

In the eyes of the nomads, the robbery was done by heroes. The heroes of the steppe are all excellent professional robbers. Nomadism has a characteristic, called family wealth, with hair does not count, a plague down, the whole clan is going to starve to death. Their hero is to lead their race to live, not to say that this is a punishment from Heaven when disaster comes, so let's die together.

So, they say, this is what the gods tell us, you have to punish those who disobey the gods, punish them, and you will get the food, the house, the money, and the women that I have given you.

So they began to rob the peasants on the side, saying, "If you don't worship the gods, I'll kill you." As for robbing your grain and gold and silver jewelry, you are going to die anyway, and you can't use it. I help you.

If your neighbor is such a person, you must have moved farther away.

The hero of the farming civilization, you can see it when you look at it. When Wei Qinghuo went to illness, he expelled the Tartars, and Yue Fei was similar. They are characterized by defending their homeland against the invasion of nomadic peoples. In the history of China, it is almost impossible to think of a hero who has been passed down through the ages because of the expansion of the territory. Idols are those who maintain order, such as Confucius and Mencius. There is no need to forge ahead, a few acres of land will starve to death.

Heroes of the sea nation, such as Magellan Columbus, semi-professional pirates, half-professional merchants. In fact, you don't have to think too much, just assume that you are in the vast sea, the fresh water is gone, the food is gone. As a result, a cargo ship was greeted, and they refused to trade because they were not many. You look, eh? I can beat it.

Come to think of it, will you let yourself die of thirst and starvation?

Nothing to think about, right?

This is why movies such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Vikings" that seem barbaric to us have become popular all over the world. In these maritime civilizations, the pirate gene has never disappeared.

(2) The identification with order is different

In the eyes of agrarian civilization, order is primary, and everything else is secondary. In ancient China, even when the farming peoples were fighting wars, if they encountered agricultural busyness, everyone discussed it, took a vacation, and went home to collect the crops and come back to continue fighting. Previously, rural primary schools had a thing called agricultural busy leave, and people who worked in the city often had to go back to collect grain despite the fact that the loss of leave might be greater.

Farm time is order. There was no order, everything was gone. For most peasants, whoever becomes the emperor cares about my ass does not affect my farming.

The nomads did not think of this, they were freer, because they had to drive cattle and sheep to grass at any time and at any time. Live by the grass. At this time, an order that is too complicated is useless. You've never heard of a guy from the Inner Mongolian tribe who went to work and said that he was going to take a leave of absence to go home and herd sheep. Freedom, on the other hand, is the most important thing, and if you cannot move freely on the land, the sheep will not be able to live.

Therefore, often they take advantage of the busy farming and run to the land of the Central Plains to scatter wilderness. In this regard, marine civilizations and nomadic peoples are actually similar. Freedom is important, and without freedom, they can't live.

(iii) The definition of a pioneer is different

Agricultural civilization is the most devoid of pioneering spirit. The amount of land is limited, and the matter of reclamation has been opened up for thousands of years. Agrarian civilization has never been very pioneering. The changes in agricultural civilization are also relatively simple, my land is gone, I can't live anymore, everyone is righteous, fight, redistribute the land, we can all live again.

Nomads have also never pioneered. The world is theirs. If you don't let me herd sheep, I'll beat you. You let me herd the sheep, and if my sheep dies, I'll beat you. But I couldn't fight, so I changed places to herd sheep. These were super bad guys in ancient times, and today they are more miserable. For example, Outer Mongolia, Afghanistan, Turkey, etc., which we are familiar with, used to be super powerful nomadic peoples, and now they are more ordinary.

Maritime civilization is a pioneering civilization. They yearn for the unknown of everything. Because the unknown has a chance, there are too many resources in the unknown. That's why there's the Great Voyage and the Cosmic Starry Sky. It can be said that the development of modern science and technology is basically created by marine civilization. For example, during the Tang and Song dynasties, Persian merchants exchanged glass balls for our silk satin.

Just like some time ago, we saw the clash of civilizations between China and the West. Musk says he's going to Mars, saying that humans are going to become an interstellar civilization. Ma Yun said, there are still many places on the earth, with this money, is the desert trees not fragrant? What's going to Mars? Even the chief scientist of China's aerospace industry said that if we want to develop Mars, it is better to develop the Gobi Desert. Conditions in the Gobi Desert are much better than on Mars.

There is no right or wrong, there is a competition between different civilization forms and consciousnesses.

(4) Modern civilization

Modern civilization is a fusion of three civilizations, but the genes are different. The German peasants and the Shandong peasants are concerned about the same thing, and the ideas of the German workers and the Chinese workers are not very different. Chinese businessmen have also begun to go all over the world, and businessmen all over the world are similar.

Perhaps, this is the ultimate form of civilization, tolerance and integration. Any act of dividing civilization is the destruction of civilization. In fact, we have all seen the consequences of this destruction: endless wars for thousands of years.
