# New Britain withdraws from the EU agreement #

The first sentence at the beginning of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is: It is said that the general trend of the world will be combined for a long time, and it will be combined for a long time.

In the eyes of China people, the general trend of the world is long-term unification and short-term division, and unification is the ultimate road.

This is exactly what Europeans can't understand.

Because in the eyes of Europeans, division is king, and reunification is particularly thankless.

So is the general trend of the world good or bad?

China and Europe hold their own words, and both feel that they are right.

In fact, it is because of the different history between the East and the West that this completely opposite world view is led.

I. Centrifugal force in Europe

Europe has produced many powerful empires, such as the ancient Greek Empire, the Roman Empire, the Charlemagne Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the British Empire and so on.

Charlemagne, in particular, almost unified the whole of Western Europe in 800 AD, which is expected to complete the great unification of Europe.

He is not only famous for his martial arts, but also attaches importance to culture and education, thus bringing the Carolingian Renaissance.

Unfortunately, when he died, he gave birth to three black sheep, signed the treaty of verdun, and split the huge empire laid by his parents into three countries again.

This treaty of verdun has a far-reaching influence on Europe, sowing the seeds of centrifugal force in Europe and breaking the bones of European unity.

Since then, wars in Europe have continued, and no empire has ever achieved the achievements of Charlemagne's empire.

Due to long-term division and short-term reunification, Europeans are completely indifferent to reunification, let alone restore the glory of an empire.

In the long-term ethnic disputes, modern Europeans formed the theory of equal sovereign state.

A typical example is the Westphalia system, which established international norms based on equality and sovereignty in modern times.

However, this sovereign state system can not maintain peace, but will be even more desperate.

From the hegemony of Portugal and Spain to the rise of Britain, to the war between Britain and France, the colonial war, and then to the first and second world wars.

Europeans will only fight for their own nation and religion, and will never fight for an empire.

Therefore, in European culture, the centrifugal force of division is particularly strong, and they firmly believe that division can lead a good life.

From Britain's withdrawal from the European Union to Ireland's independence at Britain's doorstep, we all feel that we can live well apart.

So they can't understand why China has such a strong obsession with reunification.

Second, the inheritance of China civilization.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China, like Europe, was severely divided and had a good time.

Five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period, Seven Chivalrous Men in the Warring States Period, and a bunch of small countries live in the cracks.

After several generations of monarchs, Qin swept Liuhe with Qin Shihuang, and finally completed the great cause of unifying China.

Although the Qin Dynasty was short-lived, it was of great significance, which laid the foundation for the unified civilization of China.

Because Qin Shihuang made the same books, cars, tracks and lines.

All China, no matter what nationality or country it was before, should communicate in the same language, the distance between the wheels of the carriage should be consistent (easy to build roads), and the basic necessities of life, customs and beliefs should be relatively unified.

He also used a piece of jade seal to prove that he was an order from heaven, saying that he who made the jade seal won the world.

This also established the concept of the world for later dynasties.

After Liu Bang won the world in the Han Dynasty, because the imperial seal was in his own hands, in order to prove the legitimacy of unifying the world, he once again emphasized this concept of hundreds of years.

Finally, all China believe that the emperor was born in heaven, and whoever has the strength and moral character to prove that he is "destiny takes a hand" will submit to the new dynasty.

After the emperor of the new dynasty ascended the throne, he would emphasize that he was "the only thrill" and declare that he legally inherited everything from the previous dynasty.

Only in this way can we say that "since ancient times", a country is our inherent territory.

This is the magic of China. Throughout the ages, people have considered themselves to be China, in the same strain.

So in the past 2000 years, China was in a unified and powerful state for most of the time.

According to mainstream European thinkers, China has always been at its peak, only occasionally declining, but it will eventually revive.

Third, pretend to be a national civilization.

For thousands of years, China is the only civilization that has survived to this day and is still radiant.

Because China is actually a civilization and has not been cut off.

The European empire is just a country, so it will eventually perish.

Li Shimin, who founded the Tang Dynasty, was descended from the conference semifinals, but after winning the world, he naturally became the emperor of China, not the previous conference semifinals.

Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty was a Han Chinese, but he still had to inherit the Han orthodoxy of the Yuan Dynasty and recognize his status.

This is the inheritance of civilization, and China regards Chinese culture as the core cohesion of the country, which is eternal.

Because China culture is very inclusive, people who agree with China culture are China people, regardless of their origins or religions.

Ancient China is not just the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties that we thought, so you should look at it from a broader perspective.

The territory of past dynasties is different. Some dynasties can be divided into Central Asia, while others do not even include Tibet.

Is it necessary to chase after the previous sites now, or is it impossible to take many sites now?

The answer is that in the concept of ancient China, ancient China was actually a system named "Tianxia".

There is a cloud in The Book of Songs: Under the world, is it the place of kings, the place of commanding, or the minister of kings?

In the eyes of the ancients, China is the "central country", the central kingdom in the "world" system, the ruler of the civilized world and the core leader of civilization.

Other countries can be excluded from direct rule, as long as they are vassals and vassals of China.

And China people three words, is equivalent to civilized people.

If you consider the concept of "the world", you will understand that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is to return to the era of nationalization in China.

Many people in China believe that China must become the world's number one power, because we still have the memory of the Middle Kingdom and China's going to the country.

Even if most ordinary people can't imagine the glory of ancient times, they can't accurately understand the meaning of revival.

But at the very least, China people believe from the bottom of their hearts that the first is the normal state of China, even if it is the first among big countries.

After reading this article, you should understand that China still has a long way to go to achieve rejuvenation.

To return to the status of the Han and Tang dynasties, it will take longer and go further, and it may not be realized until the age of interstellar travel.

Therefore, contemporary China people know what historical stage they are in at present, and it is enough not to be a prosperous Northern Song Dynasty that everyone can bully.

We have just taken the first step of the Long March, and we will continue to advance until we realize the great rejuvenation of moderns!
