Chapter 2346: De-Daxia
In fact, Ruan Qingying and Ruan Qingling’s anxiety and confusion are very easy to understand.
It’s just like the substitute literature in female novels. Who the hell is willing to be someone else’s substitute?
Moreover, the feeling that the Southern Monkey Kingdom is being passively "Daxia-ized" has become stronger and stronger in recent years, and is not only reflected in copying Daxia's national policies and development strategies.
Anyone who has traveled to the Southern Monkey Kingdom will discover a strange phenomenon.
That is, whether it is restaurants, grocery stores on the street or inside hotels, most of the classic movies and TV series from Daxia are played on TV.
For example, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "My Fair Princess", "Journey to the West", etc.
Especially "Journey to the West", which is rebroadcast almost every summer vacation in the Southern Monkey Kingdom, more times than in the Great Xia Kingdom.
When you talk to people on the streets of the Southern Monkey Kingdom, you’ll find that they may not know everything about their own country, but they can recite the plots of legendary TV series like “Journey to the West” by heart.
This cultural phenomenon did not emerge in recent years, but can be traced back to the 80s.
TV series like "Water Margin" and "Investiture of the Gods" are also childhood memories of the post-80s and post-90s generations in the Southern Monkey Kingdom.
Half of the content played on the homepages of Southern Monkey Country’s television stations and video websites are domestic films and TV series.
Palace fighting dramas, in particular, are extremely popular in the Southern Monkey Kingdom.
Even Ruan Qingling and Ruan Qingying grew up watching Daxia TV dramas.
Many successive emperors of the Southern Monkey Kingdom have attempted to change this phenomenon and wanted to replace the Daxia culture with the native culture of the Southern Monkey Kingdom, but all ended in failure.
The reason is very simple. The local culture of Nanhou is indeed a bit eye-catching and not as pleasing as the Daxia culture.
In order to express their love for their favorite Daxia drama, the people of Nanhou have done more than just watching it a few more times.
They adopted the highest standard of tribute - remake!!!
On the video websites and TV stations of the Southern Monkey Kingdom, there are already many remakes of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", "Swordsman", "Journey to the West", "My Fair Princess", etc.
The original intention may be good, but the effect of the remake...it’s hard to describe!
Not only film and television dramas, but Daxia's variety shows, music, literature, etc. are also very popular in the Southern Monkey Kingdom.
Since the 90s, old songs such as "The Moon Represents My Heart", "Probably in Winter" and "Tie Xue Dan Xin" have become as popular in Southern Monkey as in China.
For their favorite songs, Nanhou people also adopted the highest standard of paying tribute - cover!
But this cover is more magical than the remake of the TV series.
The various cover MVs with weird styles make people think that this is a spoof by the Southern Monkeys, but they are actually singing the cover seriously!
In terms of literature, whether it is popular classical masterpieces such as the Four Great Classics, or romance novels and online novels, they are all very popular in Nanhou.
Because Chen Mo was reborn and brought online novels to this world early on, and because the Internet in the Southern Monkey Kingdom is underdeveloped, the Southern Monkey Kingdom's craze for online novels is even more serious than that of Da Xia!
In 2008 of this life, you could easily see people on the street holding an MP4 that could play txt files or a cheap Symbian phone, reading Daxia online novels with great interest.
Many students in the school are discussing the contents of online novels after class, and when they are excited, they even jump up and perform.
In addition, the older generation of Nanhou has a strong passion for martial arts. Since the 1960s and 1970s, Nanhou has started a craze for translating Jin Yong and Gu Long's novels. Until now, various versions of Jin Yong's novels can be bought in any bookstore in the Nanhou imperial capital.
The reason why Daxia culture can thrive in Nanhou has a lot to do with its historical affinity with Daxia.
Since the Qin Dynasty, the central and northern parts of the Southern Monkey Kingdom have actually always been the direct territory of Daxia.
From that time on, the politics and economy of the Southern Monkeys began to become like those of the Great Xia.
Not to mention the culture. In addition to entertainment programs, Nanhou also adopted Daxia's 24 solar terms, traditional Chinese medicine, Hanfu, etc., and everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation were modeled after Daxia.
Chinese characters have always been the official language of the Southern Monkey Kingdom.
Documents, announcements and even coinage were all written in Chinese characters.
Confucian culture also has a profound influence in the Southern Monkey Kingdom.
In 1070 AD, the then Southern Monkey Emperor built the Confucian Temple to worship Duke Zhou, Confucius and the seventy-two sages.
Guan Erye is also a worshipped being in the Southern Monkey Kings.
The temple of Guan Erye in the Southern Monkey Kingdom is also called the "Men's Temple", which shows how much importance it is given.
Another similar system is the imperial examination system.
Many people may not know that the Southern Monkey Kingdom abolished the imperial examination system in 1919, more than 20 years later than Daxia.
During the war against the hegemonic country, Daxia spared no effort to help Nanhou, providing money, manpower and manpower.
With normal thinking, many people would think that the Southern Monkey Kingdom should be a close friend of Da Xia and should like Da Xia very much.
However, it is not.
The Southern Monkeys have borrowed so many things from Daxia that they wouldn't even be able to walk without Daxia.
This made the Southern Monkey people feel fear and disgust.
Nanhou's attitude towards Daxia is very twisted. On the one hand, he highly praises Daxia as a teacher.
On the one hand, he wanted to get rid of Daxia's influence as much as possible, and he was very conflicted.
When Ruan Qingying was in school, he studied why his compatriots had such a twisted attitude, and it can be summed up in one sentence: fear of being assimilated.
Human beings have only been active on Earth for tens of thousands of years. In the future, human integration is inevitable.
The Nanhou people are very afraid that Nanhou will no longer exist in the future and, like in ancient times, will become a complete vassal of Daxia.
In the past two years, after receiving assistance from the foundation, Ruan Qingying, like many other Nanhou people, became increasingly arrogant.
He launched a large-scale de-Daxia campaign in the Southern Monkeys, advocating the culture of the Hegemonic State and even the Yin-Yang State, attempting to slowly replace the Daxia culture engraved in the genes of the Southern Monkeys.
However, Ruan Qingying sadly discovered that he had failed, just like the previous emperors.
Even the national development policies are copied from Daxia, so how can we possibly become Daxia-ized?
A general meeting was held in Daxia in the morning, and in the afternoon the public policy documents were taken to the meeting place of Nanhou’s senior management for emergency study and discussion.
The top leaders are so dependent on Daxia, how can they expect the common people to stand firm?
Especially the Terminal Chinese website founded by Chen Mo, which also has a branch in the Southern Monkey Country.
Ruan Qingying once tried to ban it, but he could not stop the enthusiasm of Nanhou netizens, so he simply let it go.
Especially after Chen Mo's Moyuan Capital began to build factories in Nanhou on a large scale, Nanhou's economic development momentum has been very rapid and its presence has become increasingly felt internationally.
Since the financial sponsor is from Da Xia, Ruan Qingling doesn’t dare to try to become a Da Xia person anymore.
Now, with such a good opportunity to take away Chen Mo's property, Ruan Qingying naturally would not let it go.
If they can hedge against Chen Mo successfully, there is a high probability that Moyuan Capital's assets in Nanhou will be taken over by him!
At that time, the foreign capital that the Southern Monkey Kingdom relies on most economically, Moyuan Capital, will become state-owned capital!
Ruan Qingying knew that only by becoming economically independent could he truly complete the de-Daxiaization!
