Why is Chinese civilization called the first civilization in the world?

Mr. Lu Xun, a great writer, once said, "Since ancient times, we have all been industrious people, hardworking people, people who pleaded for the people, and people who gave their lives for the law? Although it is equivalent to writing a "genealogy" for emperors and generals, the so-called official history often cannot hide their brilliance, which is the backbone of China. "

If we compare the pattern of the world to a long-distance race, from the first four runners to more than 200 runners who are scrambling to keep pace with each other now. During this period, we were in front, we were behind, we fell down, even pushed to the ground, pushed around and trampled, but did we really give in?

Great country for five thousand years, splendid civilization all over the world, Ran Ran rises and falls like a meteor. In the past five thousand years, the chess game with the world as the chess has rotated countless players. From the past to the present, and then to the more distant future, only China is left on the chessboard, and only we are left.

Five thousand years ago, ancient Egypt and other ancient civilizations played a game of world chess with us. Faced with the severe punishment of the gods, the flood cleaning left endless myths, but now, where are they? What is left of the civilization that played chess with us five years ago? Only the myth of Noah's Ark still exists in the Western Tao Te Ching.

Four thousand years ago, Mesopotamia, a civilization with two rivers, played with us, thinking about how to create words and how to write the beginning of their respective civilizations with bronzes. They also left countless legends, but now, what about them? Where is the civilization that played chess with us four years ago? Only occasionally unearthed bricks and tiles are left, telling the glory of the past powerlessly.

Three thousand years ago, ancient Greek philosophers and Aegean poets, together with our sages, told the philosophy of the universe in words, which laid a solid cultural foundation for future generations and left a splendid civilization. But now, what will they do? Today, a hundred schools of thought are still alive, but I can't see the chess players of that year.

Two thousand years ago, the conquerors of ancient Rome and the framers of the Han Dynasty chased the dead to the north, frantically laying the future territory with their own strength, leaving a vast land and endless history for future generations, but now, where have they all gone? And we, why? Han nationality? .

Many years ago, the masters of Arabia, like the emperors in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, had endless treasures, exciting and prosperous territory, splendid civilization, and even a few words in the history books, which vaguely revealed their brilliance. But now, where are they? And we, the glory of the Tang Dynasty, are still protecting the people of China.

Today, we are still sitting in the chess game. Our former opponents have become the dust of history, and the chessboard is spinning. Only we sit on the throne.

Why is this happening? Because a nation always has something inviolable. The sky is broken, and I make up for it by refining stones; When the flood comes, dig your own canal to control the water; When the disease is prevalent, try medicine with your own body without asking for miracles.

If you drown in the East China Sea, you will fill it up, and if you are exposed to the sun, you will film it. What about the five disorderly flowers of that year? What about Japan's invasion of China? Have we ever given in? The new pass can't beat us, and the flood can't kill us. Why are we afraid of young people?

The era of everyone being like a dragon pursued by ancient sages has finally come to this world. After 5,000 years of unremitting struggle, when we meet our ancestors one day, everyone can proudly shout between heaven and earth: This world, in 2020, the people and the country of China have been established for 7 1 year, and their capital is Beijing. All China people can read and write; All my descendants can know the world situation without leaving the cottage; Every man in the Han family can defend his country with death; I, a China woman, can keep the soul of China alone.

Between heaven and earth split by an axe, there are people who don't want to be slaves everywhere. This is our China.

There is a saying circulating now? The culture of the Tang Dynasty is in the East, the culture of the Song Dynasty is in Vietnam, the culture of the Ming Dynasty is in Korea, the Qing Dynasty is in Myanmar, and the Republic of China is in Taiwan Province Province. However, in front of foreigners, we can say that we are sitting on a well and watching the sky. How can a frog in the well understand the vastness of the sea, and how can a buffoon know the majesty of China?

We can also say that there are Chinese civilizations everywhere, which just proves the charm of our culture. But these are for others. Of course, we can't let others hit us in the face. Now, behind closed doors, you are all our own. Let's think it over and reflect on it. Why is there such a saying circulating? Do they really do better than us in some ways?

Do we really have a clear conscience? With the development of the times and the progress of science and technology, we have gained a lot and become stronger and stronger. However, have we lost many precious things? "

"What do we have in China? We have farming civilization, we have a hundred schools of thought contending, we have mountains and rivers, we have Guangling Divine Comedy, we have calligraphy, Chinese painting and Tai Chi gossip. We have 12 zodiac signs, and we have The Book of Songs, Songs of the South and The Art of War by Sun Tzu. We have traditional festivals. We have Kunqu Opera, Henan Opera, xiang opera, Beijing Opera, Shadow Play, Huangmei Opera, Great Wall Garden and Bell Tower. We have traditional Chinese medicine, we have five elements of yin and yang, we have paper-cut kites and clay figurine embroidery, and we have four great inventions: food and cookers, clothes and clothes.

You can't imagine how rich we are, but are we proud of it? What did we pass on?

I drank American cola, watched Japanese anime, sang Korean songs and drove a German car. How many Tang and Song poems have I memorized? Laozi and Zhuangzi thought, who is Laozi and Zhuangzi? Where is the thought? How many pages have you read in the four classic novels? How many moves do you take at chess? Steak and western food are both high-end foods. Isn't the variety of eight cuisines the essence of food?

Discard it as dross at home and regard it as a treasure abroad. It started in the past and destroyed in the present, which is the fault of our generation and the sorrow of our children and grandchildren.
