While Feng Yu was being impassioned, Zhang Ruiqiang suddenly poured cold water on him: "Feng Yu, what you said is in line with the requirements above, which is to let our culture go global."
"But this is easy to say, but too difficult to implement. First of all, the language barrier is a huge obstacle!"
"What is the most widely used language in the world? English, don't you deny this? Many countries use English as their official diplomatic language, so many cultural products in English have natural advantages."
"That's why we need to speed up our culture to go global." Feng Yu interrupted Zhang Ruiqiang, "It's like Indian song and dance movies. Although you don't understand them, people from many countries like them very much. Songs and dances have become a symbol of Indian movies. We What about China, what is our tradition?”
"What is the most attractive thing? What is the oldest impression of our country on others?"
"The oldest impression, the four great inventions? Ancient civilization?" Zhang Ruiqiang said with some uncertainty.
"Absolutely, our country has always had a sense of mystery in the impression it has given Westerners. Including me, many people say that I know the ancient oriental divination, so I can achieve great success in many investments. The probability of this is impossible!"
"The easiest way to invade the culture of those Western countries is through their beliefs!"
Belief
The expression on Zhang Ruiqiang's face became serious. Faith has always been a very serious and sensitive topic. Many Westerners accuse the Chinese of having no faith, but do they really believe in God
Don't they know that there is no heaven in the world? Spaceships have been built and humans have landed on the moon. Do they still not know that God does not exist
"The faith I'm talking about is not the kind of faith you understand, but a new spiritual pursuit. We all know what the origin of religion is. It is nothing more than to rule. From ancient times to the present, in any land There are different religious beliefs on the mainland."
"Some beliefs have been spread and slowly changed. For example, the Hui people did not eat pork at first because they believed that pigs are omnivores and eat carrion, so eating pork will make you sick. But now, many people say Pigs are the sacred animals of the Hui people!”
"The original Buddhism banned meat and fish in our ancient times, which meant that it was forbidden to eat meat and spicy food, which refers to spices, which were very expensive at the time. Gradually, the monks became poor and could not afford to eat meat, so they even drank meat and wine. It’s also banned. It’s not that they wanted to ban it, but the emperor banned it for them because they don’t pay taxes or perform military service, so they are prohibited from enjoying these.”
"Now, have these things changed? There are also temples that don't need the so-called alms, because they have money themselves, and with the donations from pilgrims, how can they be short of money? But in the streets and alleys, I see many people wearing monk robes to beg for alms. Are they monks or nuns? If you ask them to recite a sutra, they may not be able to recite it, but they say that if they have a Buddha in their hearts, they are Buddhas!"
"So the teachings of these religions are always changing. When they change to a certain extent, they will enter a period of peace because they are in line with universal values. Just like many religions prohibit killing, Because that’s what everyone thinks should be banned.”
"What religion does our country have that is unique to us and not found abroad?"
Zhang Ruiqiang suddenly realized: "Taoism?"
Feng Yu stretched out his finger and shook it: "More than that. In addition to Taoism, our Buddhism is also different from other places. And the oldest thought in our country is actually Confucianism. Monk, Taoism, and Confucianism, these three thoughts are what we want The main belief in output!”
Faith output
This seems to be a new term. This Feng Yu can always come up with these new words, and he can also make some sense.
"The teachings of many religions have similarities, which actually makes it easier for them to accept our ideas. We have to find some differences among them, our unique Chinese features, and exaggerate them so that they can become able Accept it and be willing to accept it!”
"The simplest among them are history and mythology. It seems that these are all stories, but think about it, aren't those in the Bible also all stories? Aren't those fables and so on in our primary school textbooks also all stories? ?"
"Stories are the best way to spread faith. Let them accept our stories and like our stories, and they will slowly be assimilated by our faith!"
"What you said seems too slow, right?" Zhang Ruiqiang said uncertainly.
"Haste makes waste. If you want to change other people's ideas in three years, do you think it is realistic? This is a long-term strategy, but it is very beneficial to us. Let our thoughts be slowly changed by foreigners. In the process of acceptance, they must also learn our words. In this way, our culture will spread faster and our values will be more easily accepted by them."
"What should be done specifically? Like you said making a movie? Is it making a movie about our ancient mythology?"
"Not just mythical movies, but also historical movies. It is necessary to restore historical scenes and be realistic. This kind of ancient war drama has a very good audience in the West. Their wars involving thousands of people are considered to be big scenes. Aren’t we, tens of thousands of people, even more shocked?”
"They like to watch movies about wars between various gods. Don't we have any gods? Don't forget, our Chinese myths and legends are much more than theirs. But it is precisely because there are too many that it has become It’s complex but not refined. We just need to refine it a little, so that our story can be popular on the big screen and our values can be spread all over the world!”
"Westerners love those love stories. We have traditional love stories that transcend race, such as Xu Xian and White Snake, Ning Caichen and Xiao Qian, Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies."
"They like to watch battles. We have Journey to the West and various monsters and monsters. When it comes to the imagination of monsters, they Westerners are really lacking. We should show them what monsters can be like."
"Of course, it shouldn't just be about movies. Hasn't our country opened Confucius Institutes abroad? I plan to sponsor a sum of money to expand the scale so that more people can accept our culture and education. At the same time, mainland universities must also have Confucius Institutes. In the academy, foreigners can’t learn it, and our own people haven’t learned it.”
"Donate money? What are you planning to do by donating money to expand the size of the Confucius Institute?" Zhang Ruiqiang immediately became wary. Feng Yu seemed to make money every time he donated money. Is there any conspiracy this time? Bar
Feng Yu was a little helpless. What kind of thinking does Lao Zhang have? If I donate money, does it have to have a purpose
