In the history of China, there has always been no shortage of people studying "Feng Shui". For example, in Kyoto, there are people who are "the land of dragons". Zhao Wuji is a monk, and his views on "Feng Shui" are naturally higher than those of ordinary magicians.
In Zao Wuji's view, Kyoto, or places such as Chang'an and Bianliang in the early years, are actually "places of dragon prosperity". But what can be seen from this kind of "Feng Shui" can only be said to be "little Feng Shui"
", that is, in the era of farming culture, the "feng shui" of the rise and fall of the family was based on the four directions of east, west, north, south, the five elements and eight trigrams.
In the West, there is a kind of "astrology". Compared with Feng Shui, astrology is a view of the universe, while the latter is just a view of geography. If it is an agricultural society, the view of geography may be closer to science; but in the ocean age or the cosmic age, Feng Shui will
The geographical view obviously has limitations.
Before the Spring Festival, Zao Wou-ki and Li Xinxin visited Kyoto together. At that time, he did not think about it from the perspective of "Feng Shui". But this time, Zao Wou-ki went to Kyoto to prepare for his visit, so he had a little leisure time.
The lack of water in Kyoto was not visible in the past, but it has become apparent now, and will become even more obvious in future generations. The lack of wood in Kyoto is not a lack of trees in the city, but a lack of forest barriers. The sandstorms in later generations have blocked the sky and the sun, which shows that the three north protective forests have played a role
The effect is very limited.
A place where two of the five elements are lacking is not considered a place of good deeds. Of course, if the leadership is aware of this problem and makes great efforts to rectify it, it may not be impossible to change it in a few decades. If the feng shui is innately flawed, it can also be changed the day after tomorrow.
Perhaps, when the older generation settled in Kyoto, they subconsciously thought that it would be safer to rely on the Bear Country, but facts have proven that even if the Bear Country shares the same system as China, it may not be safe.
I remember that when China was first founded, some people suggested setting up less industry in Kyoto, which was criticized by Taizu and others. However, the experience of later generations has proved that Kyoto is really not suitable for large-scale industrialization. How much does a Kyoto Steel Company consume?
Water? That’s fighting with the people for water!
At this time, 30 people, including Zhao Wuji, were sitting in a conference room, receiving training from external etiquette personnel. Naturally, Zhao Wuji did not need to listen to these so-called etiquette, so he had the above "random thoughts."
"System, can I redeem some desert management technology from the system to improve the ecological environment in the north?" Zhao Wuji thought of "sandstorms" and asked the system.
[It can be redeemed. However, the system advises the host not to redeem it for the time being.]
After hearing the system's answer, Zhao Wuji was not depressed. This was the answer given by the system's "Project Optimization" function. Recently, when Zhao Wuji faced some complex problems, he liked to turn to the system, especially the "Project Optimization" function.
.
The system said "do not exchange for the time being" and also gave several reasons. These reasons were enough to convince Zhao Wuji.
First, China's current focus is not on "ecology". Because China is still a semi-agricultural and semi-industrialized country at this time, it is too early to talk about governance.
Second, China currently does not have the money to manage deserts or the ecological environment. Managing ecology is not only a technology-intensive thing, but also a capital-intensive industry. China’s first major move to manage ecology took place ten years later.
, called the "Natural Forest Logging Ban", and correspondingly introduced policies such as the "Ecological Barrier in the Upper reaches of the Yangtze River".
Third, at this time, public opinion on ecological protection has not yet formed in China, such as the Green Shenma organization reported in the news. The Chinese people think that it is foreigners who are full and have nothing to do.
Fourth, if Zao Wou-ki forcibly implements the so-called "ecological governance", not only will he not receive official support, but he will also create an image of "not doing his job properly" among the leadership, even if it turns out that Zao Wou-ki's approach was correct. It is very interesting.
"Foresight", but for Zao Wuji, it was something gained rather than lost.
With these four points, enough, enough, enough to convince Zhao Wuji. Indeed, managing the environment does not just require technology. There are still many people living on the edge of the desert. These workers have lived there for generations, and it is necessary to manage the environment.
, it must involve immigration.
Later generations of Zhao Wuji saw a piece of information about a county in Xichuan where grasslands were severely desertified. The fundamental method to control the grasslands was to reduce the number of people and livestock carried by the grasslands and to provide corresponding technologies. However, those tens of thousands of people
His ancestors have lived there for generations, and if you ask him to move from the pasture passed down by his ancestors, it would be more terrifying than digging up his family's ancestral graves.
"Comrade Zhao Wuji, please stand up and tell me what etiquette you need to pay attention to after arriving in the United States?" Zhao Wuji's absent-minded appearance finally attracted the lecturer's attention.
The lecturer was not an official official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but an old professor from the China Foreign Affairs University. This professor had been living in American society before the age of 30 and was very familiar with American etiquette. Others listened with interest, but
This Zhao Wuji actually didn't buy his fault, which made him a little angry.
Zhao Wuji didn't listen to his class, because it wasn't that he didn't teach well, but the old professor taught well. It's just that the old professor taught well, but there was one thing missing, and that was respect for people. This respect refers to the respect for people.
The respect of Americans is also the respect for ourselves. Although Zhao Wuji appeared to be absent-minded, it does not mean that he did not listen. Even if he really did not listen, the system would record him.
"Professor Ding, you talked about five points, all of which are foreign affairs disciplines. If I guess correctly, you haven't talked about etiquette yet." Zhao Wuji asked. This is indeed the case. The core of what Professor Ding talked about so much is
Just two words: No!
There are too many prohibited contents in our foreign affairs disciplines!
For example, after arriving in the United States, Zhao Wuji would definitely not agree to the clause that members of the visiting delegation were not allowed to act alone. At this time, Zhao Wuji didn’t know which department had the problem, but he was asked to come here to “study”. Ni media, I
In front of the main leaders of the Provincial Party Committee, I didn't save face for China. Are you still afraid that I will do something that is disgraceful to the country?
"You think these disciplines are not important?" Professor Ding seemed to be fighting Zhao Wuji.
"Professor Ding, what you said is very important! You just said a lot of inaccuracies. Next step, I am listening with all my ears. What will the country allow us to do after we arrive in the United States?"
"As long as it is a group activity, most matters are allowed. As for the etiquette in the United States, I will tell you right away. Zhao Wuji, please sit down." Professor Ding said. After Zhao Wuji sat down, Professor Ding really
Let’s start talking about etiquette:
"Comrades, the United States is the most developed country in the world; after we arrive in the United States, we must humbly learn from the Americans! Although China is known as a country of etiquette, we also have to learn from the Americans when it comes to the etiquette of dealing with others.
, because the United States is the most developed country in the world, and their etiquette is also one of the most mature countries in the world."
"Ni media, I met a rice fan." When Zhao Wuji heard Professor Ding say this, he understood that this so-called etiquette teaching was about to get on the right track.
"First, when it comes to dining, American people eat with a knife and fork, with the left hand forking and the right hand knife. You can practice this in the past two days. After arriving in the United States for free, you will not adapt to the environment. Second, the upper class in the United States are all in suits.
Tie, look at your attire, it’s not appropriate at all. Uh, that classmate in the corner, your tie is too tight. This kid’s shoe here, your sitting posture is wrong and you can’t cross your legs; as for Comrade Zhao Wuji,
, it would be even more inappropriate to wear casual clothes.”
"Ni media!" Zhao Wuji wanted to curse, but considering how old this guy was, he decided to forget it.
"The third aspect is language. There are many taboos in this area. If you are not careful, you will make mistakes. This is what the so-called disaster comes from the mouth. At this point, after you arrive in the United States, you must listen to the tour leader and translator.
arrangement.
In addition, after you arrive in the United States, American people may be more aggressive in language or more proud. If you say something that offends Chinese people, you must be more tolerant. For example, Americans may ask: Do you Chinese people still have braids?
?You just need to answer no. Because many Americans’ understanding of China is still in the Manchu and Qing Dynasty. If you argue with them, you will definitely not win the argument due to environmental factors, which will most likely cause more misunderstandings.”
When Zhao Wuji heard this, he couldn't help it anymore: "Professor Ding, what do you mean by not being able to win the fight? Is it the language aspect?"
"Language is one aspect, but the most fundamental issue is the overall development level of the country. Our country is poor and backward, and if others use any indicator, we are no match!"
"Professor Ding, I don't agree with your point of view! First, we are Chinese, why should we argue with Americans in English? Second, it is true that China is poor and backward, but it does not mean that we cannot fight back when others hit us;
Moreover, I do not agree with your view that overall backwardness means all backwardness. China is backward in many aspects, but this is not a reason not to argue!"
"You, you, why are you so stubborn? I want to suggest to the relevant departments that you are not suitable for visiting abroad this time!" Zhao Wuji ignited Professor Ding's anger with just a few words!
After hearing the old professor's words, some people began to snicker. Firstly, what Zhao Wuji said made sense. Secondly, some of the people here knew that this visiting group was actually led by Zhao Wuji. This old professor
, I'm afraid I hit a nail.
"Professor Ding, what major are you studying? It seems that you have lived in the United States for a period of time. Can you argue with me in English?" In the end, Zhao Wuji did not embarrass Professor Ding, but asked directly in English
, he wanted to make the old professor quit before he got into trouble.
"Argue with me in English, and don't say that I'm bullying you, a young boy." The old professor said this in Chinese, indicating that he was polite and that it was Zhao Wuji who was provoking him.
"Do you know who suggested the formation of this visiting delegation?" In this case, Zhao Wuji decided not to give the old professor any face.
"It goes without saying that it should be the Chinese Office or the State Office." The old professor said confidently.
"Wrong! This visiting delegation was formed by my suggestion to the central government!" Zhao Wuji decided to knock the old professor unconscious with a stick.
"Ah?" When Professor Ding heard this, he was really a little dizzy: "This, this, how is this possible?" (To be continued.,,,. Mobile phone users please go to read
