Chen Duxiu, whose views on education were called "bestialism" in this era. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He believes that most of the young people who grew up under the old-style education "have no power to tie the chicken, and no one has a husband; white-faced and slender waist, charming as a virgin; Afraid of cold and heat, weak as a sick man", how can such a young man become a pillar of the country?

Therefore, Chen Duxiu believes that the correct education should be like a "beast" to make people grow up in a harsh environment, so that they can be "tenacious in will, good at fighting and unyielding; Strong physique, resistant to nature; Trust in instinct and don't live according to him; Straightforward and straightforward, not pretending to be self-written".

Chen Duxiu's educational philosophy is obviously related to his experience of studying in Japan, and this so-called "bestialism" is actually another term for militaristic education.

The great writer Lu Xun ...... The article is well written, but the Chinese people in his pen are all extremely ugly, such as Ah Q, Kong Yiji, human blood steamed buns, and the leap soil that grew up when he was young and grew up.

The meaning behind Mr. Lu Xun's portrayal of these characters is that the Chinese people who have grown up under Chinese culture and education are like this. Liu Zhenguo said, "They will make the Chinese people lose their will, their thinking is vague, and they cannot distinguish right from wrong...... This is actually a quote from Lu Xun:

If you read more Chinese books, there are at least the following three disadvantages: first, the more Chinese books you read, the more you will not be able to cheer up; Second, the more Chinese books I read, the more I want to take a stable road, and I am unwilling to take risks; 3. The more Chinese books are read, the more vague people's minds become and they cannot distinguish right from wrong.

That's why Lu Xun taught young people: "Don't read Chinese books, read more foreign books."

This phenomenon does not mean that Chen Duxiu, Lu Xun and others are unpatriotic, but even the fact is the opposite, they can be said to be patriotic young people who are eager to save China from fire and water.

But the problem is that they don't know where the root of China's fragility lies, so they rush to the doctor, believing that the roots are in Chinese culture and Confucianism......

These ideas may seem strange in modern times, but they are normal and even mainstream in this era.

The reason for this is that there is a living example in front of Chinese...... Japan.

Japan was also in danger of becoming a Western colony in the mid-19th century, and after seeing that a declining China was vulnerable to the great powers and facing a partition, they decided that Western civilization was a more advanced civilization, while Chinese Confucianism was a semi-civilized and even barbaric civilization.

As a result, Japan chose to "break away from Asia and join Europe", completely abandoning Confucianism and learning from the West in an all-round way, and the result was that Japan successfully became a world power.

With such ironclad facts in front of them, and Chen Duxiu, Lu Xun and others who were students studying in Japan and were influenced by this trend of thought in Japan, it is natural to think that the reason why China is so fragile is because of Chinese cultural Confucianism.

If you look at it from a modern perspective, of course, you know that these ideas are wrong, but if you also grew up in that environment and saw the success of Japan...... I'm afraid it's hard not to be affected.

Zhang Chi didn't know how to tell Liu Zhenguo and the others for a while, but then Wang Mazi snorted and said, "It's really a scholar who misled the country...... If, as you say, if you read Chinese books, you will lose your will and will not fight...... Feelings: Our expeditionary forces are all reading foreign books? ”

"Commander!" Liu Zhenguo Shi Shiran replied: "It is not an exaggeration to say that the expeditionary force is reading foreign books. As far as I know, you guys were trained by the Americans in Burma, didn't you? It used American weapons, British military uniforms, and the establishment of the American army...... This just proves that our point of view is correct, otherwise why can't the expeditionary force win battles at home, but repeatedly win battles abroad? ”

"You ......" Wang Mazi couldn't help but tremble with anger, and scolded as soon as he opened his mouth: "Damn it, are you saying that the victory we have exchanged for blood and life is the credit of the Americans......"

"Commander!" Zhang Chi stopped Wang Mazi.

It doesn't make much sense to argue like Wang Mazi, and if you continue to argue, I'm afraid that you will break up in two.

And Zhang Chi knew that Liu Zhenguo and others were not traitors or scum, they were patriotic young people who had fallen into erroneous and radical thoughts, and at the same time they were high-level intellectuals who he urgently needed.

Looking at Zhang Chi's eyes, Wang Mazi snorted sullenly and stopped talking.

Zhang Chi turned to Liu Zhenguo and the others, and said with a pleasant face: "The commander is straight, and he can't hold anything in his stomach, please bear with me!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Liu Zhenguo and others politely returned the gift.

"But what Mr. Liu said just now, I also have a different opinion!" As soon as Zhang Chi changed his words, he said to Liu Zhenguo: "If, according to what you say, China's troops can win the war if they are trained by the Americans and have the establishment and equipment of the US military, then why are they in the Pacific theater...... But it has repeatedly appeared that the Americans are unable to conquer the enemy's positions, and the expeditionary force can easily do it? ”

Liu Zhenguo couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this.

Wang Mazi was happy when he heard it, and said, "Yes, yes...... And the Americans also have better equipment, but they are soft eggs when they start a war, and they want us to save our lives at every turn! ”

"And ......," Zhang Chi continued: "Mr. Liu thinks that more advanced Western culture should also include the United Kingdom!" ”

"Of course!" Liu Zhenguo replied.

"Didn't Mr. Liu know about the defeat of the British in Burma?" Zhang Chi said: "At that time, the entire front was basically held by Chinese troops, and the British army only knew how to escape and fund the enemy, and the Chinese expeditionary force at that time had just gone abroad, using Chinese equipment and Chinese military system. What is the explanation for this? ”

Liu Zhenguo replied with some embarrassment: "This ...... One or two battles don't say anything! ”

"That's good!" Zhang Chi nodded: "What you mean is that Chinese culture is barbaric and weak, so it is weak-willed and unable to compete with the great powers, so it's right!" ”

Liu Zhenguo nodded and replied, "That's roughly what it means!" ”

"So......" Zhang Chi continued: "Then the Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty, it must be that the Mongolian culture is superior to the Song State, so the Song Dynasty can be destroyed?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Zhenguo and others couldn't help but be stunned, because as long as everyone knew that the Mongols at that time were real barbarians, and the Song Dynasty was an era when hundreds of schools of thought contended and there were many heroes.

"And five nonsense!" Zhang Chi said: "Don't talk about the far, the near one has the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty...... Could it be that the Manchus were also more cultured and advanced than the Ming Dynasty? ”

Liu Zhenguo and the others couldn't help but look left and right, and no one knew how to answer these questions.
