The West believes that China has a history of not 5,000 years, but only 3,000 years. They think that the history of our country has been stagnant for a long time, so the famous philosopher Hegel put forward this view. Hegel also believes that there is no way to change the history of our country because of the lack of some kind of confrontation. Such a fixed thing has replaced a real historical thing. Therefore, the essence of our history is that there is no history.
From our present point of view, such a view is absurd, but in western theory, such a view is not an individual theory. Adam Smith once put forward the view that China's history is at a standstill and is an eternal and peaceful society. Many western scholars believe that the history of our country has no vitality and vitality, so it has no research value.
This view is actually wrong. China's ancient historical civilization is also in a leading position in the world. China's ancient history is a masterpiece of the world, no matter from the perspective of science, technology, culture or art. First of all, the four great inventions have made a qualitative breakthrough in science and technology in our country. Of course, after these four great inventions spread to other countries, they also played an indelible role in promoting the development of other countries.
In addition, China's architectural culture is booming. From the period of Neanderthals to today's high-rise buildings, the architectural features of China are constantly developing and growing, leaving behind historical sites that all the people in the world sigh. Besides, China's food culture is unique. China's jiaozi, noodles and dumplings have been praised by countless westerners.
Now China is also developing rapidly. At the Olympic Games, the number of gold medals won by China athletes attracted worldwide attention. China's space technology is also constantly developing, and our astronauts are constantly exploring the world and promoting the development of human civilization; China's 5G technology is leading the world, which has increased people's well-being and facilitated people's lives. No matter from which angle, the views put forward by western scholars such as Hegel are incorrect, and they all deny the positive role of the development of China's historical civilization.
Generally speaking, the ancient history of our country can not be ignored, and it is an extremely important part both now and in the past. China's civilization has traveled all over the world for a long time, and even influenced the way of life of people all over the world. However, some scholars are still unwilling to acknowledge the importance of China's history and culture. In fact, this view is quite ridiculous.
