What does Wang Xiaobo's "I'd rather choose shackles to lose civilization" in Man Ju Ji symbolize?

I think what he meant was that the traditional culture of China gradually declined with the development of modern economy and civilization, which made the elegance that China should have gradually disappeared. What is the current situation of China people? Advocating money, treachery. . . . Wait, this makes some traditional people feel very sad. Xiaobo likes the traditional culture of China, which can be deeply realized from his Bronze Age. So looking at the decline of China's traditional culture, he was also very helpless. He felt that it was better to use China's traditional culture to imprison people's thoughts, that is, shackles, to preserve some heavy historical culture that China people should have.

I don't know if you understand. . . . . .
