(Updated for Alliance Leader Ji Nian (1/22))
Yanhuang College, sports field, rostrum.
"Zhijie, don't think too much. Xiao Xuan's contribution to teaching students is no less than killing enemies on the battlefield! Besides, he's the only child in his family! "
Qin Qiong heard Cheng Yaojin's nonsense and couldn't help but scold him.
In fact, even if he didn't talk about his identity as the Yamachō of Yanhuang College, Qin Qiong didn't want Cheng Yaojin to bring Li Zexuan to the battlefield. After all, his life was saved by Li Zexuan. Moreover, because of his relationship with Han Yuxi, Li Zexuan could be considered half of Qin Qiong's son-in-law. Therefore, from a personal point of view, Qin Qiong didn't want Li Zexuan to take risks on the battlefield.
Besides, Qin Qiong's strength now was better than back then. This old general felt that even if there was a war, he should be the one to fight and not Li Zexuan.
"Second brother, I think you don't want this kid to go to the battlefield, right?"
Cheng Yaojin wasn't stupid. The old demon's eyes flashed and he suddenly laughed.
Niu Jinda and Yuchi Gong on the side smiled but didn't say anything.
At this time, Li Zexuan, who was on the fairy lamp in front of the "rostrum", said affectionately, "Looking at your slightly childish but full of vitality and fighting spirit, I suddenly thought of something. I want to give you all and encourage you all ~! For the time being, let's call it Young China! "
When he said the last few words, Li Zexuan's voice became unusually sonorous and powerful. Feeling the seriousness and seriousness in Li Zexuan's tone, everyone focused their attention on the young man in the sky. They saw Li Zexuan close his eyes slightly. After a while, he suddenly opened them. His slightly magnetic but full of power instantly spread to every corner of the field:
"Is a country old or young? Let's talk about old and young first. Old people often think about the past, young people often think about the future. Thinking about the past, that's why there's nostalgia; thinking about the future, that's why there's hope. Only nostalgia, therefore, is conservative; only hope, therefore, is aggressive. Only by being conservative can the old be everlasting; only by being progressive can the old be renewed. He who thinks only of the past, that everything is as it is, therefore knows only to follow the rules; he who thinks only of the future, that everything is as it is, therefore dares to make exceptions. "
That's right. Li Zexuan was planning to bring the famous "Ode to Young China" from his previous life to the Tang Dynasty. As for whether there was a "China" in the Tang Dynasty, it was obvious that there was.
The origin of the word "China" originated from the Zhou Dynasty. Because the region of China where the Zhou Dynasty was located belonged to the central region at that time, they called the kingdom they lived in "China", which meant the central kingdom. But at this time, "China" was still very small, and it was only a geographical and cultural concept ruled by the Zhou Dynasty.
As the dynasties changed, the territory of "China" slowly expanded. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, "China" not only included the Western Zhou Dynasty's own territory, but also extended to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River where the Western Zhou Dynasty's vassal states were located. When it came to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, part of the Yangtze River basin also belonged to "China". During the Qin and Han Dynasties, "China" was about the same size as our current country.
After the Han Dynasty, "China" generally referred to the country and dynasty established by the Han Dynasty. But after the ethnic minorities ruled the Central Plains, in order to gain the psychological recognition of the Han Dynasty, they also established their own country as "China". Later on, the Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and other dynasties, after thousands of years, in addition to using their own country's name, they all used "China" as the country's name, and also used "China" as the country's name when they were sent to foreign countries.
It's just that this guy had always been speaking in vernacular, but now he suddenly started to speak in classical Chinese, which made all the students stunned. Fortunately, the sentences were relatively simple, otherwise it would have been difficult to understand. Don't think that ancient people liked to listen to classical Chinese, they usually communicated in vernacular.
But there was a problem, and that was that this "Ode to Young China" had offended some people, especially the elderly, but Li Zexuan believed that people who could truly understand the true meaning of this article would certainly not be so superficial as to think that this article was belittling the elderly.
"The elderly are often worried, the young are often fond of pleasure. But because they are worried, they are discouraged; because they are fond of pleasure, they are vigorous. But because they are discouraged, they are timid; because they are vigorous, they are heroic. But because they are timid, they are complacent; because they are heroic, they are adventurous. But because they are complacent, they can destroy the world; because they are adventurous, they can create the world. The elderly are often tired of things, the young are often happy. But because they are tired of things, they often feel that all things are impossible; because they are good, they often feel that all things are possible. The elderly are like the sunset, the young are like the morning sun. The elderly are like barren cows, the young are like young tigers. The elderly are like monks, the young are like chivalrous heroes. The elderly are like dictionaries, the young are like plays. The personality of the elderly and the young are generally different. Man is inherent, and so is the country! "
The elderly are timid?
The elderly are world-weary?
The elderly don't dare to take risks?
The elderly are like old cows?
Hearing this, the students in the audience listened with great interest, but the faces of some of the old gentlemen from the academy turned dark. Li Gang, Yan Silu, and the others were better off. After all, they were well-educated. Wang Ji, on the other hand, did not have such a good temper. The old guy was so angry that his face turned red. If it weren't for Xu Zhihong stopping him, he probably would have jumped from the "rostrum" directly into the celestial lamp to fight with Li Zexuan.
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong did not understand, so they could only stare at each other. They were not angry at all.
At this moment, Li Zexuan did not care about the feelings of Wang Ji and the others. He was recalling the article and couldn't help but indulge in it.
"It is the responsibility of China's youth to create a future young China. What is the point of being old and rotten? The day of parting with this world is not far away. As a youth, I am a newcomer and have fate with this world … China is a cow, a horse, a slave, and a scribe. The cruelty of cooking and whipping is something that only I, a youth, can bear. If China dominates the universe and is in charge of the Earth, the honor and glory of commanding Gu Pan is something that only I, a youth, can enjoy. What is the point of being neighbors with ghosts when the other side is dying? If one is indifferent to it, there is nothing to be said. If I am indifferent to it, there is nothing to be said. If the young people of the country are indeed young, then our China will be the country of the future, and its progress will be immeasurable. "
In order to conform to the current situation of the Tang Empire, Li Zexuan removed some inappropriate parts in the original article, such as opium and so on. At this point, some of the old people present gradually realized that the purpose of Li Zexuan's speech was not to scold them at all. Although the words were disrespectful, after experiencing it, it seemed that there was no such intention. Li Zexuan was guiding and educating the "young people" present!
Li Gang, who had dedicated his life to the cause of education, was especially excited at this moment. His body was even trembling. If not for Yan Silu supporting him, he might have fallen down.
"Well said! This is education! If this child was born ten years earlier, then our Tang Empire would have produced many talents because of him! "
Li Gang's face was red with excitement as he muttered to himself.
