Fast Travel Guide: What About the Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Role

Chapter 354 Legend of the Republic of China (11)

Yuan Kewen was a little surprised when he heard her words.Xuan Xia put down her chopsticks and looked at him seriously:
"China has a culture of about 5000 years, while the West has only a few years of history. Not to mention that China is a vast country with rich products and many types of goods. This is the first condition to ensure the type of masters."

"The rise of the West is only after the Industrial Revolution, but before that, no matter in terms of civilization or material abundance, it should not be China's opponent. I say this not to belittle or praise anything, but It is telling the truth about the current facts. It is good to learn Western culture, but the goodness of Western culture does not mean that Chinese traditional culture is all dross and has no essence.”

Yuan Kewen was taken aback by what she said, until Xuanxia's words had stopped, and he didn't notice that he was thinking about her words bit by bit, and he was absorbed in thinking.

"Since this is the case, then tell me, what are the good places in Chinese culture, and what kind of food is good?" Yuan Kewen suddenly felt that her serious manner of speaking made people feel very comfortable.

"In terms of culture, ever since Dong Zhongshu deposed Confucianism, Confucianism has become the mainstream of Chinese culture. Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust are the foundation of being a human being. Shouldn't these things be preserved, and should be recognized by others? Destroy?"

"In addition, there are many things worth thinking about in culture. There are indeed some feudal elements, such as male superiority and female inferiority, which must be eliminated. But the current New Culture Movement accepts Western culture in its entirety, while Eastern culture How could such an approach be correct?" Xuan Xia frowned, and wanted to continue talking, Yuan Kewen spoke softly.

"This is the first time I've heard such a statement." His gaze was filled with surprise. "This is very different from the mainstream thinking, but it makes sense when you think about it carefully."

"Xuan Xia, with such a good idea, why don't you write an article and publish it so that more people can recognize it?" Yuan Kewen wondered.

"It's not in line with mainstream thinking, and newspapers and periodicals won't agree with it."

But today's newspaper groups actually have a fixed circle of people from the new culture. In a certain circle, people will only spread certain ideas.Her articles definitely couldn't be published in Ta Kung Pao, but she published a few articles in small newspapers. Unfortunately, the influence of small newspapers was too small to cause any sensation.

Recently, the relationship between Ying Lianzhi and Lu Meisun has gotten better.The time when Ta Kung Pao was willing to recommend Xuan Xia has passed. Because Xuan Xia’s articles were too extreme, it has been a long time since Xuan Xia had no articles published. However, the slightly softer and more beautiful Lu Meisun, under Ying Lianzhi’s intentional indulgence , Posted several articles in a row.

The limelight faintly overshadowed Xuan Xia.

"Then when you have the opportunity, get out of Ta Kung Pao and start a newspaper of your own. If you need my help, you can ask me for help. I believe it will be a lot easier." Yuan Kewen suggested.

As Yuan Shikai's son, no matter where Yuan Kewen goes now, no one dares to give him face.

"Thank you, if necessary." Xuan Xia nodded, looking at Yuan Kewen with a bit of regret.

Just like how she saw through Qiu Jin's ending at a glance back then, Yuan Kewen's future, like a blank sheet of paper, was clearly unfolding in front of her.

She couldn't stop Qiu Jin, because Qiu Jin was willing to sacrifice her life for the whole of China.

She also couldn't prevent the decline of the Yuan family. Yuan Shikai's restoration of the monarchy was originally going against the trend of history, and it would never succeed no matter what.And Yuan Kewen's brilliance based on Yuan Shikai's status will collapse in an instant like a big tree.

"I haven't heard you talk about Chinese delicacies yet." Yuan Kewen asked after noticing that Xuan Xia's eyes were dull for a moment.

"There are so many delicacies, but you didn't notice it." Xuan Xia tapped on the table lightly, "What do you think is delicious in Western food?"

"Steak, milk, bread..." Yuan Kewen recalled the things he had eaten in the western restaurant, and he couldn't list them all in an instant.

"Now it's my turn to list." Xuan Xia stretched out her hand, "Buns, dumplings, glutinous rice balls..."

"Stop!" Yuan Kewen laughed, "Xuan Xia, are you kidding me? Can these be considered delicacies?"

"Why is it not a delicacy? You don't think these are delicious. It's because we have been eating this since we were young. There are so many foods in Huaxia, and you can feel tired of eating them. What's more, the varieties in Western food are not so good. Not enough, there are only a few of them over and over again, if you are really in the west, it will not be long before you miss the food of Huaxia." Xuan Xia joked.

Yuan Kewen's eyes lit up little by little: "Xuan Xia, you are really a magical woman. If it weren't for you, I would never have thought that many things can be viewed from so many different angles."

"No wonder people who have studied abroad complained to me, saying that foreign food feels fresh after eating once or twice, but after a long time, it becomes difficult to swallow." The appetite also increased greatly, drinking rice wine and eating hot pot.

He is not very good at spicy food, and he couldn't hold on after eating some, so he had to eat part of the white soup.

Although it is not as spicy and exciting as red soup, it also has a full flavor of bone broth.Xuan Xia sat across from him, with every chopsticks she picked up the food precisely and put it in her mouth. She ate a lot of mouthfuls before taking a sip of the rice wine, she didn't seem to be overwhelmed by the heat at all.

After the two of them had a meal, almost all the food in the hot pot was taken out. Xuan Xia paid the bill. Yuan Kewen wanted to pay, but Xuan Xia stopped him: "You saved me this time. I'll treat you to this." A meal is what you should have. If you can't even do this, I owe you another favor. If it keeps accumulating, I don't know when I can pay it back."

Hearing what she said, Yuan Kewen stopped insisting, and the two got back into the rickshaw that had been waiting at the door for a long time. The car passed the presidential palace first, and when it was parked at the presidential palace, Yuan Kewen didn't rush down and asked Xuanxia : "I really admire Xuan Xia's literary talents. After I go back, I will communicate with you a lot and talk about some literary things, okay?"

Xuan Xia shook her head: "I'm sorry, I will leave Tianjin after a while. I will contact you when I can settle down, otherwise I don't know where I am, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to contact you."
