In fact, Emperor Yang has long wanted to promote Chinese traditional culture to the outside world, but he didn't have time before, and now he has nothing to do in the short term. It's just time for foreigners to feel the charm of Chinese civilization, such as Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and food culture.
Are there any other strange books like Cai Gen Tan... In short, all those good things are packaged and given to the Western world.
Because of the aggressiveness shown by His Majesty the Emperor in recent years, as well as his emphasis on science and his indifference to the traditional culture of the motherland, many old scholars have already criticized him. Fortunately, they have a deep-seated fear and respect for the imperial power.
The unfamiliarity of the rules of the modern game meant that they didn't know that they could publicly express their opinions in this regard, but they couldn't help but understand the benefits of freedom of speech in the future. At that time, it would be quite troublesome to clamor for these things in China every day.
It would be better for someone to put a high hat on their heads now, such as a royal cultural ambassador, a certain master of Chinese studies, etc., and let them conquer Europe with traditional Chinese culture. As long as they are given a royal title, these people
I am absolutely willing, even if it means going to a foreign country for a few years.
"How to operate it specifically?" Ye Zi immediately became energetic when he heard about this conspiracy activity and couldn't wait to ask.
"First start with music. You find a group of well-known musicians and actors, organize a royal art troupe, and then send them to Europe. Tomorrow Daily and People's Radio will be responsible for the hype, and then let DreamWorks find some theaters with cooperative relationships.
They went to perform and organize a European tour of the Royal Chinese Art Troupe. This thing is more effective. It will first arouse Europeans' interest in Chinese culture. In addition, they can also organize an acrobatic troupe, called the Royal Acrobatic Troupe, in the same way.
Go to Europe to perform and promote.
At the same time, a group of scholars will be organized to specialize in translating traditional Chinese classics and cultural masterpieces. Isn’t there a man named Gu Hongming who is very famous in this field? Just find him and let him be in charge. The People’s Publishing House will be in charge of publishing and let him translate well.
A little. Then I will pick some of them and serialize them in Tomorrow Daily. At the same time, I will let the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs take the lead. In the name of the royal family, we will organize Sino-European cultural exchange activities and invite some masters in philosophy, science, and literature from Europe to give lectures in China. These people
They will give me this face. After all, I am also one of the world's top scientists and writers. Correspondingly, we will also send a group of scholars to Europe to give lectures. Although it is unlikely that we will send scientists, they also know that we do not have any famous scientists.
But it is still possible to send a group of old academics to Europe to give lectures in the guise of philosophers and writers.
The only troublesome thing is the language problem, but this is not too difficult to solve. Find a group of students from the university who understand the languages of various countries and are familiar with Chinese culture. Then let them serve as translators for these old scholars. Of course, they can translate at will. In short
The best we can do is to let them find ways to arouse Europeans' interest in Chinese culture, and let them do this on their own," Yang Feng said.
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be better for us to establish a Royal Academy of Literature? Now that there is an Academy of Sciences, it would be a bad idea not to establish a Academy of Arts, right?" Ye Zi said.
Not only is it bad, it is simply full of complaints, especially among the literati who are full of sense of loss.
"Well, let's get one! The treatment will be the same as that of the Academy of Sciences. Then we will also give them several academician titles. Yes, Europeans recognize this more, but they must pay attention to one thing. What they promote is a philosophy.
Thoughts should not be linked to religion or anything. People there are more wary of this. In fact, this is just a philosophical thought. Dangdang’s academic research and personal cultivation are still very good. Unfortunately, people at this time always like to use
These impoverished guys are hungry for imaginary things as treasures, as if a country must be governed by a certain philosopher. How can those guys who can't even feed their wives and children govern the country?
Well, let me write another letter to the Pope and explain to him that Confucianism is just a philosophical thought and not a religion. Confucianism has never been a religion and is completely different from Buddhism and Taoism. He will listen.
My explanation is that maybe we should find some Western scholars to study the commonalities between Confucianism and Catholicism. This is very necessary."
As Yang Feng spoke, he had already decided to bribe a few theologians to do this work. Cultural invasion is absolutely impossible without disguise.
"Also, in major cities in Europe, open more Chinese restaurants and make them higher-end. Don't care about whether they make money or not. It's really not possible to find a few royal chefs from our palace and send them there under the banner of royal chefs. Even if I say the last
You can eat their food if you like. When we go to Europe in the future, we don’t need to bring our own chefs. We can just order food from these restaurants. This advertising effect should be enough." Yang Feng said.
In fact, His Majesty the Emperor does not pay much attention to eating and drinking. In his opinion, the Chinese people's failure to develop is largely due to their focus on eating and drinking. Even if they make vegetables into flowers and eat them in the stomach, will they still cause bowel movements?
If you look at Western countries, you will find that countries that are less particular about food and drink usually have stronger national power. The simplest European food culture should be Germany, and the most famous should be Italy or France. Needless to say, France has become the best food culture since the reunification of Germany.
Germany was beaten like a dog every time. As for Italy, it was even more of a shame to the great powers.
Ye Zi was like a good student who studied humbly, holding a pen and jotting down in her notebook carefully. Seeing her attitude, Emperor Yang was very satisfied and continued: "There is also Chinese Kung Fu. I will get a few Chinese movies in a few days."
Let DreamWorks screen kung fu movies in Europe, and organize a group of martial arts masters to perform in Europe. Wouldn't the second Olympic Games be held in Paris this year? Contact Coubertin, and if he lists martial arts as
It will be included as a performance event in this year’s Olympic Games, martial arts will be listed as a competition event next year, and the Olympic Games will be held in Shanghai next year. The Yang’s Foundation will cover all the sponsorship fees for these three years.”
In fact, the Olympic Games at this time were far less influential than later generations. The 1900 Paris Olympics was held together with the Paris World Expo. To the French, it was completely a subsidiary project of the World Expo. Even the venue was small and the audience was
There are not many. Of course, if Emperor Yang is allowed to hype him up, the effect will definitely be different. For example, if the People's Radio broadcasts the entire event live, Tomorrow Daily will pay attention to the game situation every day, even if those readers watch the serialization of "The Name of the Rose"
"It's enough to just take a quick look at it."
"By the way, there are a few people who must join in the martial arts performance. One is Huang Feihong, who is now working as a combat instructor at the Army Academy, and the other is Huo Yuanjia, who is from Tianjin. I don't know what he does, so just ask someone to find out.
." Speaking of the martial arts performing troupe, Emperor Yang suddenly thought of these two celebrities.
Huang Feihong was Liu Yongfu's old subordinate. Later, when the Black Flag Army was reorganized in Taiwan, Emperor Yang selected him to teach fighting in the Army Academy. As for Huo Yuanjia, he is still not well-known, but he is still in his prime, so these two
It would be good for people to go to Europe to set up a ring or something. There are always some foreign strongmen coming to China. Now it is changed to Chinese people going to Europe to set up a ring. I don’t know what the effect will be.
"In addition, there are Du Xinwu, Han Muchia, and Sun Lutang. I don't know exactly what these three people are doing now or where they are. In short, you can ask people to inquire at the martial arts schools and escort agencies in Beijing, Tianjin, and Cangzhou. Maybe they can
Found it." Emperor Yang thought for a while, and at this time, martial arts masters of the right age could remember this. It is said that the great swordsman Wang Wu from Beijing has left Kangliang in exile in the United States, otherwise he can join another one.
The news that His Majesty the Emperor was going to establish the Royal Academy of Literature in China immediately caused a sensation throughout the country. Countless masters who felt that the future was gloomy were as grateful as if they saw a bright light. Then an even more exciting news came to them, the Royal Academy of Arts Academician Selection Committee was established.
, headed by former Minister of Education Zhang Zhidong, and including former Supreme Prosecutor General Qu Hongji, master of Chinese studies Yu Yue and others. It can be said that all of them are the candidates they hope for. Many people are excited after hearing these names.
I was so excited that the mountains screamed long live.
"It doesn't matter, the academician allowance is only 10,000 yuan a year, and the 500 academician places are only 5 million a year. This way we can trap them, but if they are allowed to scatter and the people will complain about us, the negative consequences will be
The influence is far from being as simple as five million. How good it is now, let them circle the Academy of Liberal Arts and make noise on their own. What's more, there are also many useful people among the literati. In the future, we can also stuff them into the Academy of Arts! Academicians are not hereditary.
, these old academics are all in their fifties or sixties, how many years can they live? When they are all dead, how can our young students learn these things in the future." On the royal train heading to the Northeast, the emperor said
His Majesty said proudly to the chief attendant.
"Your Majesty, this is indeed a good move. In the future, if we see anyone who likes to engage in some messy theories, especially those who advocate learning from the United States and France, we will directly reward him with the title of academician and throw him into this hive. That's it.
If you don't rush me, old guy, you'll have to shed your skin if you don't die! It sounds nice outside, I think the emperor is very talented." Yuan Shikai said, holding back a laugh.
Yang Feng immediately imagined in front of his eyes that if Brother Pao was thrown into the Royal Academy of Literature, those old scholars would pounce on him like hungry wolves and ravage him, and he couldn't help but laugh too.
This time, he went to see the construction of his secret base in the name of inspecting Northeast Korea. Now the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant has been completed, but the two 40,000-ton shipyards have not yet been completed. According to the plan, they will be completed by the end of this year.
