A bitter smell came from beside him. However, it was like a god that Zhao Gang thought himself. He looked up and saw that no one was paying attention. He threw the watermelon peel into the trash can. Change. After twenty years of struggle, what did he change? It seems that there is no change in movies and other things have become popular. But is this the goal of his struggle?

"Tianyou. Do you think we have made progress compared to the previous dynasty?] Asked Zhan Tianyou. Zhan Tianyou was shocked. He never thought about this question. But after thinking about it for a moment, Zhan Tianyou replied:

"It's a lot better. The previous dynasty was humble to foreigners and did not know how to absorb them. Cixi actually said that Jiejie and the power of the country were in line with the favor of foreigners. Such a court did not put the people first and the country first. First.

"Our dynasty is different. The real and virtual deal with foreigners, and there is no harm. So now our dynasty has expanded thousands of miles into the world and has become the largest country in the world. After this war is over, we will become the strongest country in the world. To be honest, our dynasty is the former. The former dynasty is a declining dynasty. Our dynasty is a dynasty. It is only a dynasty. It is a difference between the clouds and the mud."

Everyone agreed. Zhao Gang still felt a little uneasy. Can’t ask for anything bad? If you want to build a Datong society, you need to propose something meaningful. If it’s all flattering, then I will be dismissed from my job the next day.”

Zhao Gang's words attracted everyone's laughter. If you really don't say something, it won't work. Finally, Tang Shaoyi came up with something first: "Recently, you can often see some interesting news. For example: what makes China shame; what makes Chinese people proud and proud; what makes foreigners appreciate and surprise. It's quite pleasant to hear it. After a long time, I feel a little incomprehensible.

To put it bluntly. These things are all the business of the Chinese. When we are surprised to see it, we are happy. After all, our self-confidence is not good. There is no such a great country mentality. I think the best mentality of the great country is the Tang Dynasty. One of the cultural characteristics of the Tang Dynasty was open. The Tang Dynasty had exchanged with 300 countries or regions such as white clothes and food (including Spain today). The famous poem by the great poet Wang Wei, "The palace is opened in the nine heavens, and the clothes and crowns of all countries are worshipped by the crowns and slaughter of the country" is a vivid portrayal of this grand atmosphere. Emperor Taizong of Tang looked at foreign countries with a broad mind. He once said: "Since ancient times, they have valued China and were inferior to barbarians, and I love them only as one." He believed that foreign customs and humanities were different from China. "No need to be suspicious". If you have a good relationship with them, "the four barbarians can be like a family."

The Tang Dynasty was indeed a period when any foreigner was welcomed in the capital. Like Baghdad, Chang'an became a gathering place for famous international figures." British historian Wells described the Han and Tang Dynasties in "A Brief History of the World" and said: "When the minds of Westerners are entangled by theology and are in ignorant and dark, the Chinese people's thoughts are open, inclusive and easy to explore." Only by open culture and inclusiveness can we absorb talents from all countries for our use.

The second cultural characteristics of the Tang Dynasty were tolerance. The Tang Dynasty was a dynasty with the integration of all ethnic groups. The central dynasty was very tolerant of foreigners and all ethnic groups in China. Historian Xiang Da pointed out that the Tang Dynasty "all cultural relics were not intertwined with Chinese and foreigners, and were all inclusive. Since the seventh century, Chang'an was almost an international metropolis, and various religions were all in Chang'an" (Xiang Da's "Civilization of the Western Regions of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty". Li Guangbi, a hero of the Tang Dynasty, was a descendant of the Khitan, a famous poet, and the ancestor of Yuan Zhen, the author of the "Book of Yingying" of the "West Chamber" of the West Chamber, was the Tuoba clan (see "Old Book of Tang". There were also many Arabs and Koreans who participated in the imperial examinations and embarked on official careers. Some of them had formed deep friendships with Chinese officials and intellectuals.

The third cultural characteristics of the Tang Dynasty were tolerance. The diversity of the Tang Dynasty led to the tolerance of the Tang Dynasty's political culture. Cheng Hao and Zhu Xi, a Neo-Confucian scholar of the Song Dynasty, pointed out that "The Tang Dynasty had a world, and although it was called the pingping, there was also the style of barbarians. The three pillars were not correct, and there was no monarch, minister, father and son, but the origin was from Taizong." Judging from the documents in Dunhuang, the couple divorced and still respected each other, and the husband prepared horse gifts to send his wife to leave. This was even more so in the court affairs. Wei Zheng was the secretary supervisor, and someone sued him for rebellion. Taizong said: Wei Zheng was my political enemy in the past, but he was just loyal to his career. I still valued him. How could he "cause slander"? So the false accusers still trusted Wei Zheng. In the 19th year of Zhenguan (645), King Gao Zang, Molizhi, Gaisuwen, sent an envoy to Chang'an to present two beauties to Taizong.

The messenger said: I will not do such a thing when my beauty hurts their hearts. So I let these two girls return to China.

But behind these is an illusion. When these foreigners enjoyed good treatments. As a single model, the fate they suffered was very miserable. In the Tang Dynasty, most of the barbarians were conquered by the foreigners in succession. The points were similar to those of our dynasty. Therefore, when the people of the Tang Dynasty faced foreigners, they were not angry and powerful. Foreigners could only admire the identity of the Tang Dynasty and not be able to do so. That was because every Tang Dynasty citizen was centered on the Tang Dynasty. He rarely considered how other countries viewed the Tang Dynasty. This mentality was the reality

On the other hand, our country's mentality is quite intriguing. Can a person's personal behavior bring shame to the entire China? That is his personal behavior, why will it affect the entire country? Taking something to make oneself occupy the highest moral line. Taking this opportunity to attack political enemies, it is said that there are many harms but no benefits.

Although the poor and backward China in the past caused the European and American powers to invade wantonly, aren’t we all getting stronger and stronger? Do we really need to be so unconfident and have shortcomings, but shortcomings do not represent the whole person, and there is no need at all!

I don’t want to say much about xxx making the Chinese people proud. Maybe this pride as a country is a bit too much. A hero cannot make China stronger. Only after countless heroes appear will we be above other countries. With confidence, our tomorrow will definitely surpass others!

We care too much about the recognition and praise of others, especially Westerners, and too much about the criticism and even accusations of Westerners. Just listen to it, and if there is any, change it, and if there is no, encourage it. Why care so much about other people's evaluation? For example: Is it really necessary to be so popular in the Western world by many people? Our scientists cannot be rated, but the level is far inferior to the person we love is rated. But in fact, there is nothing. Even if we tilt some awards because of geographical relationships! But some people can't see it. They always think that the Nobel Prize is unparalleled. But in fact, the Nobel Prize is only his prize amount. There are many problems with the recognition of those values. So sometimes I am always very strange. The recognition of the West is really the interests of the Chinese people.

In this world, people praise us, and many people criticize us. We live in this world, of course, foreign voices need to be heard. But everything is not done for others to see. We need other people’s encouragement, suggestions or even criticism. But we have our own ideas and practices and should not be influenced by other people’s voices.

Western countries’ accusations against us, and even the naked attacks on us, cannot deny China’s development and progress over the past few decades. We cannot see our own achievements because of their accusations. Of course, on the other hand, some people give us some praise, but we still have many problems, and there is no reason to be complacent because of others’ praise. Our economy still needs vigorous development and many problems need to be improved. Therefore, there is no need to feel ashamed of others’ accusations and feel that we are useless. We cannot be arrogant because of others’ praise.

If you believe that you are the best, you will definitely do your best even if you are not good. One country that I have to mention here is the United States. Of course, as a competitor, I am more wary of this country. Of course, I also admire the courage and confidence of others. I believe that you are the best no matter how you are.

China needs confidence because no one can stop us from moving forward. China needs to be more sober. Other people’s praise does not mean that we have no problem. Develop our own country and let other countries say it!”

After Tang Shaoyi said something, Zhao Gang's heart became a little brighter. Tang Shaoyi's words pointed out the current mentality of the Chinese people very accurately. Although he vaguely knew that he was already a citizen of a world-class country, he still had no confidence in his heart. It was not bad to need others to support himself. At least after winning the war, he was worried. Zhao Gang was still very sure of this." Can he allow his son to take foreign concubines like this? One can only take three concubines at most. And foreigners cannot be the wife."
