The Historical Development Track of China's Modern Society —— From the Revolution of 1911

"In the past, intellectuals in China often used academics to lead politics. In the past 40 years (Qian wrote this article in 195 1), they just want to manipulate academics by politics. " "From its best point of view, today's intellectuals in China are still bound by China's own traditional culture, still inclined to go up, not down, still fighting for political leadership, and still singing the spirit of governing the country and calming the world."

However, after 19 1 1 year, "the old ones were out of breath", and the new style of the western revolution was affected. In China, it is fashionable to imitate the flood in the west and "overthrow the old tradition, overthrow the old culture, create new politics and establish a new society".

Marx's historical materialism and * * * productism have become a religious belief of the * * * production party, which has aroused the attention of modern intellectuals in China to large social groups. The reason is that "* * * productism has worldwide and international unity, that is, there is a kind of * * * homosexuality among large groups of human beings".

However, "Western materialism is materialism, which only focuses on an extroverted life, which is not close to China's traditional introverted life. There is a big difference between the two, but China people don't know. " Moreover, Marx's historical materialism and class struggle are "expressed from the perspective of the western traditional (Christian) theory of evil nature" and "out-and-out theory of evil nature". "Ye teaches God to care about the whole life of every human being, while Marx's capitalism only cares about the material life of a certain class at most. Marx only discusses the economy, not the soul, so western materialism can never coexist with Christianity. If you believe in Marx, you must first overthrow Jesus. " By the same token, if * * * productism is to take root and sprout in China, it is useless to completely overthrow the traditional culture of China, which takes "caring for the masses" as its responsibility. "Therefore, it is very beneficial for China's * * * production party to destroy China's traditional culture." "It tends to be materialistic and farther away from China's own tradition. It is especially regrettable that this person suffers from ignorance. "

"If so, the intellectuals in modern China, from the outside, can't have beyond reality, yearning for a higher level of spiritual expression. From the heart, we can't surpass the ego, sacrifice the individual and care about the big social groups. In this case, firstly, because he was vague about his traditional concept, he despised western culture, and secondly, he accepted it because of the balance of practical interests. Whether it is dissatisfied or not, it always involves its shallowness, not its depth, and it is harmful but not beneficial. " "And their traditional culture, and eager to get rid of, lost the essence, dross still exists. Democratic politics and scientific spirit have deteriorated in this trend, so politics is above everything else, and on the one hand, it is still the center of human nature, on the other hand, it is moving towards extremely evil theory. "

"There was a local inspection in the Han Dynasty, a family background in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a public service in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and a public supervision system under traditional politics" all made the intellectuals in traditional China "rely on it on the one hand and have scruples on the other. Get peace of mind from dependence and keep inner peace from worry. The following people can also follow this trajectory, but fortunately it's okay. The indifference and stability of the rural economy is their last step backwards. "

"In the past hundred years, the regime has changed dramatically and the economy has been deformed at the same time. In the past, intellectuals lived a quiet life, but now everything is gone, so they are empty and fearless. The new origins of intellectuals in modern China are unprecedented, and they have completely embarked on the only way to study abroad. " However, "which country in the world knows about China? Which country really cares about training a generation of knowledge and talents suitable for China application for China? " "Politics between countries is profound, and primitive evolution is at a loss for them. Traditions in our country are generally beneficial to diseases, and now they are even more at a loss. In this way, you will find it useless to study. Radical, increase their hatred and hatred for their own people. It doesn't matter, then studying abroad becomes a disguised imperial examination. " "As a result, China was disappointed with returnees, and returnees were also disappointed with China. Hating China will gradually turn into hating the West. " Therefore, "all new thoughts, new theories and new knowledge will be combined with China's own inherent exclusion and curse, while the opposite side will be used as a stepping stone and amulet for their private life elopement.

However, "we don't need to be angry or pessimistic. China will remain an intellectual in China and China, and will remain an intellectual in China. With the new China intellectuals, we are not afraid that there will be no new China. The most important thing is the spiritual awakening of intellectuals themselves and the revival of religious enthusiasm in traditional humanities centers. " "If we are willing to return to the deep accumulation of China's 2,000-year-old traditional intellectuals instead of adapting to various situations, and if we are willing to admit that China's traditional knowledge and culture has its own unique value, this spiritual revival seems to have reached the end of its tether, and it is time to start a new stove. The wind and rain are coming, and the chickens are crowing. New China intellectuals! Dance! Dance! "
