Someone asked me when should the history of Chinese civilization be counted? I replied: China only has a history of enlightenment, and I have not yet discovered the history of civilization. Because the history of enlightenment and the history of civilization are two different categories, the history of enlightenment is the governance of the Ming monarch in history, such as the "governance of Zhenguan", which is a typical Chinese history of enlightenment. However, a country with a history of civilization generally does not have a history of twists and turns, let alone "dynastic changes".

The history of civilization in a country is also closely related to "individuals". In a society where hidden rules prevail, if you do not integrate into this environment, you will encounter obstacles everywhere and be at a loss. Society requires you to do so, but you cannot do so. This is called the trend of survival of the fittest. Over time, you will naturally become the "fittest" in this environment, and 99% of people will spend their lives in the "fittest".

The 'fittest' is pitiful! Because he can never discover himself in this "self" environment, even though his spiritual environment is harsh, he can only seek to stand up and become stronger in this "hidden rule" without the guidance of public theory. Even if he gains "strength", he still needs to be constrained by "greater strength". The 'fittest' may capture high officials and high salaries, but their personality is always insignificant. This is a common phenomenon in societies without a history of civilization. Only in a seemingly gentle but essentially barbaric state of human tearing apart, can we adapt and then adapt! An Tian with incomplete personality has become their eternal duty to hold onto.

I have been to several Western countries, and the entrepreneurial stories in Chinatown may be very touching, but they have preserved China's "hidden rule culture" in a sweet and comfortable living environment, and have not yet integrated into the mainstream social form of civilization.

Consciously resisting foreign cultures has become another belief among Chinese people, even if you are in the mainstream, you have already developed a flu like alertness to foreign cultures. Therefore, in order to enhance the confidence of "local" Chinese in Chinese culture and provide a confident "cultural foothold" for Chinese artists to visit, in addition to the large-scale construction of Confucius Institutes, many "Chinese Culture and Art Centers" have been established. I hope that confidence will not become a cultural masturbation for Chinese people.

The consensus on civilized values has become a concern for us.
