Chinese civilization used to be like a large tree, the branches of the leaves stretched to four sides and eight sides, the surrounding countries were filled with light, learning the conspiracy set, and moving around the Middle Ages.But who thought, in modern times, China's own roar was unlikely, the Western people broke into the mess, and those old neighbors began to pick up bags, throw off the Chinese flavour on their bodies, and turned their heads toward the West.

Think of this matter a bit acid, once iron boys, now meet all have to pretend not to know.

Which country is the cleanest and simply becomes a replica of the West? How much helplessness and sadness are hidden in these changes? Let's take a look at the ins and outs of this great cultural shift slowly. It's going to make people curious, right?

Singapore is

This small place in Singapore, originally a bunch of Chinese people, many of their ancestors were Chinese, and their families took their mouths to float across the sea and come here to live.

You think, the majority of the population carried Chinese blood, logically said it was the hot bed of Chinese culture? as a result, at the time of the founding of the country, Malaysia kicked out Singapore and forced independence, this little Singaporeans panicked God, feeling that they had to hold up to warm up to live.

But this way of forming a group is to sell one's own culture.

In the early years, the western colonists regarded Singapore as a treasure, with a great geographical location and a strategic point. The British and French took turns to fight and planted the seeds of the West. After independence, this kind of seed sprouted and grew up. The authorities severely suppressed Chinese culture, Chinese schools closed down, traditional festivals faded out of sight, and the Mid-Autumn Festival enjoyed the moon. Now it's a Christmas party, which is brightly lit but has no Chinese flavor.

English suddenly became the official language. It was taught everywhere in schools and in streets and alleys. It was said that the younger generation of Chinese could no longer recognize all Chinese characters, and Chinese had become a foreign language. Customs and habits have also changed, and Western-style weddings have become popular. Dresses have replaced traditional robes, and West Point has been mixed with banquets.

Diplomatically, Singapore keeps pace with the West, and its internal affairs also learns from the free market of Europe and America. It is simply the little West in Asia.

Although there are many Chinese, they can be defeated culturally. The authorities are afraid of separatism and regard Chinese elements as hot potatoes. If you wander around Singapore, you will feel that it is completely westernized. Chinese cultural relics in the museum are put in the corner to eat dust, and street fashion is all European and American. Hey, it's strange to say. As soon as the existential crisis makes a noise, the root will be cut off.

The Mongolian

Mongolia, a neighbor, usually keeps a low profile on the border and doesn't make many headlines.

But historically, it has been an old opponent to the Middle-earth dynasty, and it has looked at each other for hundreds of years.

At the time of the Qing dynasty, full of people came to power, in order to stabilize the river, to attract the Mongolian tribes, and to fight and pull out the policy, the Mongolian princes preferred the Qing.

Mongolian cavalry became the helpers of the Qing Dynasty, helping to suppress the Han uprising on the battlefield of the Central Plains and sharing the pride on horseback.

Under the reign of Full Qing, Mongolian customs were somewhat connected with people, so everything at the wedding was a bit similar.

At the end of the day, the sea invaders killed in, artillery bombardment, and Mongolian riding and cattle could not stop.

The Qing government hardly managed Mongolia, but the Northern government came to power, the domestic disorder became a pot, military valves mixed battle, who can take care of the upper side? the Russians have the opportunity to swallow, the northern ocean can not return to the sky. by the time of Chiang Kai-shek, Mongolia became independent, Chiang Chen opened an eye and closed an eye, one came to chew the cheek, the second wanted to show good to the West, by the way using Mongolia as a buffer zone to block the Soviet Union.

Soviet influence suddenly flooded, and Mongolia as its own back yard, Mongolian language changed to the style of the Soviet Union, and completely adored the Chinese.

The customs have also changed, the traditional Nagasaki congress has taken the lead in Russian sports, oatmeal soup pot has added Slavic spices, festivals celebrate the International Labor Day.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Mongolia did not stop and continued to advance the de-Chineseization.

Now go to Mongolia to visit, the streets to find the Chinese elements, young people see the medieval culture as the old yellow calendar, love the Russian literature and music. Traditional Shamanism and Buddhism disappeared, replaced by atheism and Orthodox influence. Mongolians this transformation, like changing clothes, the old thrown, the new dress fit.

Thinking about that time of integration, I always feel a little sorry.

Vietnamese

Vietnam, since the end of the Don, has begun to engage with China.

At that time, the town of Cancun was destroyed, a period brought the army to Vietnam, established the dynasty, brought the Chinese culture to the past, the Vietnamese people lived in "Little China", felt that they had a true tradition, and learned Confucius in the same way.

When the French colonized, this process was accelerated, and Vietnamese culture gradually moved closer to the west, especially in the south, where the French base camp, cafes and bakeries were everywhere, and it was still a street scenery. Vietnamese people regarded it as their own treasures, but forgot that it was a colonial legacy.

After North Vietnam unified South Vietnam, they thought that they could smooth out the differences. Unexpectedly, the charm of the West did not fade. Southerners still loved European and American film and television music and admired individualism. The entire Vietnam was completely China, using extreme tactics: tampering with history.

The textbook describes the Enze of the Middle-Royal dynasty as an aggression and kills the past of the Vietnamese conspiracy.This trick, like a double-edged sword, curtains people's hearts and corrodes long-term memories.

Historical books have been changed, people's thoughts have been distorted, young people have difficulty discerning the truth and hypocrisy, and Chinese elements have been viewed as different.

In terms of language, Chinese characters are replaced by Latin letters, and street signs have no Chinese shadow. Customs weddings are integrated into the West, dresses and desserts are put in place, traditional festivals are simplified, and local festivals are enlarged.

When you travel to Vietnam, you will obviously feel that the Chinese flavor is gone, and there are cultural faults everywhere in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi.

China cannot emotionally accept the tampering of history, but after all, it is inappropriate to talk about other people's internal affairs.

But history is like stone, change books can not change people's hearts, the truth is always in popular circulation.This southern wind of Vietnam, stirring the history with a pot, makes people feel the world uncommon.

Korean

This place in South Korea has been related to the Central Plains Dynasty as early as the Han Dynasty, and the Central Plains Dynasty controlled some of its areas.

Later, geographically far away, free from the control of the dynasty, but politically not independent, during the time of Qingdao has always been an affiliated country, the king has been bookmarked, regularly come to China for pilgrimage. A member of the Confucian cultural circle, learned quite deeply.

The Qing government lags behind, but the thin-dead camel is bigger than Malta, coupled with the interference of the forces, and Japan does not dare to move forward, turning its head toward North Korea.

At the time of Mercy, Yuan Shikai helped North Korea to withdraw the Japanese army, and the Japanese forces could withdraw, Japan returned and annexed North Korea. In order to cut off the Chinese-Russian ties, Japan engaged in colonial education, and the school media erased the influence of the Chinese language. This education was like a virus, modern South Korea inherited, abolished the Chinese Chinese language, and the great reform of customs. Confucian thought was thrown aside, traditional Buddhism also cooled down, turning to Christian faith.

Now Korea is basically a Christian country, with about 30,000 missionaries running around the world to preach the gospel. Churches are everywhere, Christmas replaces traditional festivals, wedding burial studies in the West.

After the partition of the North and the South, both sides were de-Chinaized, with South Korea being the most obvious.

Street fashion learns from Europe and America, and food is fast food. South Korea didn't develop its local culture, so it was eager to learn from the West, and its westernization was serious. Think about the loyalty and filial piety of Confucianism in the past, but now it has vanished. This running around makes people feel that South Korea is like a kite with a broken string, floating far away.

and small:

Behind the China of these countries, politics has fueled the flames.

After Singapore's independence, it followed the West politically, joined the Commonwealth, supported the policy of the United States and Britain, and regarded Chinese culture as a potential source of division. Mongolia's independence originated from the Russian invasion in the late Qing Dynasty, and Beiyang was weak. Chiang Kai-shek acquiesced and used Mongolia to buffer the Soviet Union. After independence, Mongolia regarded China as a historical burden, and its culture turned north. South Korea's politics was affiliated to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the king was conferred in the Central Plains.

Modern Japan annexed, cut off the bond, modern South and North divided, South Korea went to China the hardest.

Vietnam's political independence was early, and the dynasty was established in the late Tang Dynasty, calling itself Little China. French colonization turned, and after reunification, diplomacy became close to the West and diluted China's ties. This fire of politics has caused great changes in culture, and these countries are running in a new direction like wild horses.

Think of China now rise, the West lies out, maybe one day they will turn back to the old roots.
