679 [The Great Nation of Dwarfs]
"Poof!"
Suddenly, an Asian student in the classroom stood up, angrily slapped the table and shouted, "I protest!" Mr. Zhou, you are an unwarranted slander of the Japanese Empire and a serious insult to the Yamato nation! You have to apologize! ”
"I protest too!"
"I protest too!"
“……”
Four or five more Asian students stood up one after another, and it was clear that they were all international students from Japan.
Since the Meiji Restoration, there have been many Japanese students studying in Europe and the United States, especially Berlin, Germany. A famous Japanese filmmaker recalled: "If you go to a place like Berlin, there are many Japanese students there, and they can't learn German and study the life of a real German." ”
In the UK, there are also a large number of Japanese students, and there are several who came to the lecture today.
In the face of the fierce questioning of these Japanese students, the Chinese students in the classroom could not sit still. All the Chinese students, including Ma Jue, stood up, and they were ready to fight back, but now there are too many people to know who to let speak first.
"Ma Jue, come on." One of the students said.
This was exactly what everyone wanted, and the other Chinese students immediately sat down, leaving only Ma Jue standing alone.
Zhou Hexuan saw clearly that it was Ma Jue, and was a little surprised, not understanding how this Peking University school flower came to London.
Ma Jueqiao's face was slightly red, and she quickly took a deep breath to calm her emotions. She did not refute it on the basis of reason, but directly reprimanded: "Japan has always been a country of etiquette, and the Yamato nation also respects teachers and respects order as the criterion. Mr. Zhou is an international academic authority on history, and he is your teacher who is here to give a lecture today, why are you shouting so much? If you have doubts, you can discuss them together, why apologize? Also, there is an order of lecturing, and if you disagree with something, you can express it freely when you ask questions. Now stand up and roar, one is not respecting the teacher, the second is not respecting the classmates, the third is not respecting the order, and the fourth is not respecting academics. Do you still have the face to say that you are Japanese? Yes! ”
"Well said!" Chinese students applauded.
Zhou Hexuan smiled at Ma Jue and nodded, Ma Jue's face turned even redder, and he hurriedly sat down and said, "Please Mr. Zhou continue." ”
The mutual confrontation between China and Japan has made European students addicted, and those media reporters are also excitedly waiting to see a good show.
Zhou Hexuan asked the Japanese student who stood up first: "What is the name of this classmate?" ”
"Kenzaburo Tanaka." The student replied.
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "You just said that I slandered and insulted Japan, so may I ask, what is wrong with the facts?" Is it the name of the country, or is it an anecdote that Japan likes to borrow? ”
"It's all fake," Kenzaburo Tanaka said, "and the first country in Japan was called 'Yamato Province,' and the 'Yamato nation' came from that." As for the so-called borrowed seeds, it is nothing more than a slander by the Chinese. The improvement of the height of the Japanese people is the result of the improvement of living standards over the past few decades, and it is the result of the scientific enhancement of nutrition! ”
Zhou Hexuanyun smiled lightly: "First of all, Yamato is not the first country to appear in the Japanese archipelago, and there is also the Yamatai Kingdom before Yamato. Also, do you know what the other name of Yamato Country is? ”
"What is it?" Kenzaburo Tanaka came to England to study European history, and apparently did not know the history of his own country, or rather, their history textbooks deliberately covered up the disgraceful parts.
"Another name for the country of Yamato, called 倭国, or 大倭国," Zhou Hexuan wrote a few Chinese characters, Japanese and English phonetic transcriptions on the blackboard, "'倭' and 'Yamato' are pronounced 'yamato' in Japanese, 'Yamato' is 'Yamato', 'Yamato' is 'Yamato', and 'Yamato' is literally 'Dwarf Nation'!" ”
"Hahaha!"
The Chinese students in the classroom almost burst out laughing.
The European students couldn't help but laugh too, because Zhou Hexuan had just expressed it in English, and it was in the word "greatest", which sounded like a "great dwarf nation".
As for what "Yamato soul" is, should it be translated as "great dwarf spirit"?
Kenzaburo Tanaka was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he could only shout: "Slander, you are slandering, strong words!" ”
"As a rigorous historian, every word I say is well documented," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "As early as more than 100 years ago, a farmer in Shikashima, Japan, found a gold seal engraved with the 'Golden Seal of the King of Hanweinu', which is now in a museum in Japan, so it can't be a forgery, right?" China is still very polite, and feels that the character '倭' is insulting, so it deliberately uses the word 'commission' when giving the seal to the king of Japan. And the name of the 'Japanese slave country' was changed to 'Yamato country', also because the Japanese king at that time felt very shameless. If you still have any objections to the character '倭', then we can discuss ancient Chinese books such as "On Heng" and "Book of the Later Han". ”
Kenzaburo Tanaka didn't know how to refute it, and his face turned blue with suffocation.
"As for the Japanese borrowing seeds, there are traces to follow," Zhou Hexuan said, first reading the original Chinese text, and then translating it into English, "Zhou Hui's Qingbo Magazine of the Song Dynasty of China records that the Wa Kingdom was adrift on the (Song) border in a boat, and there were three or twenty people in a group. (Japanese) women were sent to meet Zhongzhou (China) people, and the beautiful ones were recommended to bed, and the name was 'degree species'. From these words, it can be seen that Japan had a tradition of 'borrowing seeds' in the Song Dynasty. ”
"That's slander," retorted another Japanese student, "the Seinami Magazine is not an orthodox ancient book, it's just folk anecdotes!" ”
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "Then let's talk about modern times, Mr. Tan Sitong, one of the six gentlemen of Wuxu in China, once wrote a poem: Juanjuan Xiangying Dream Spirituality, which is also better than the enemy." Thinking about ten years of things, how did you ever plan to plant in Europe? The 'seeding' in this poem is the 'degree seed' in the "Qingbo Magazine", and it is also what I call 'borrowing seeds'. During the Meiji era in Japan, Ito Hirobumi advocated the theory of optimal race, arguing that the yellow race was weak and far inferior to the white race. After he became prime minister, he immediately implemented the policy of 'seeking breeding', and whenever white Europeans and Americans came to Japan, he encouraged Japanese women to cooperate with them in order to improve the Japanese race. You don't need to go through the literature to do this, you can go home and ask your grandparents and grandparents. ”
Those Japanese students were very angry, but Zhou Hexuan reasoned with the facts, and they had no way to refute it, and they trembled with anger.
European students feel very fresh, they don't know much about Japan, listening to Zhou Hexuan say this, they all think that the Japanese way of thinking is particularly strange - there are still national leaders who take the initiative to call on foreigners to cuckold their own men?
Zhou Hexuan continued: "The matter of 'borrowing seeds' actually reflects the national character of Japan. They have always had low self-esteem, they have always wanted to be strong, and they will do whatever it takes to become stronger. If we say that 'borrowing seeds' is the real borrowing of seeds in the biological sense, then the 'sending of Tang envoys' is the 'borrowing of seeds' at the scientific, cultural and spiritual level......
