The best way to not physically wipe out a people is to destroy their culture, and at the same time to make their original language disappear.
The language of each nation has its own characteristics, even if there is no text, but some words or slang must have relevant background stories and allusions, any story or allusion is actually the history of a nation, and if these are not forgotten, the culture of the nation will be preserved.
There are many ethnic groups in the world that have been wiped out culturally and linguistically, and their genes still retain the genes of their ancestors, but they have no connection with their own nation in terms of values, ideas or ways of doing things, which is equivalent to a fundamentally integrated nation, and the nation still has descendants, and the problem is that there is no difference between it and disappearing.
The Yan and Huang clans have exterminated and integrated a terrible number of ethnic groups, otherwise they would not have opened up such a large living space, not that there are no people in those areas themselves, but that the people who once lived in that land have either been eliminated or integrated.
The earth is actually so big, there are too many types of invincible resources, even renewable resources need land, a nation wants to have more living space is squeezing the living space of other nations, that is a life-and-death competition, failure is to withdraw from the stage of the world's nations.
Liu Yan is a person who has experienced modern information warfare or cultural warfare.
In the era in which he lived, the Zhuxia culture was not much different from being wiped out, and people's values, thoughts, and policies had actually been fully Westernized.
But that's also a helpless thing, who let Zhuxia gradually fall behind in the long competition process, and don't want to be completely left behind, naturally he wants to learn from others, that is, he learns all the chaff and the dregs, and even absorbs a little too much of the dregs.
Thanks to the debate in that place, Zhu Xia also has to adapt to globalization to abandon square words and use the Latin alphabet for some people.
Their insistence kept the Chinese characters from being abandoned, so that at least some of the culture of Zhuxia was preserved, otherwise even if some history was preserved, I don't know if the original meaning could be passed on after the text was completely changed.
"For a long time, we have been exporting culture."
Liu Yan is talking about the contribution of Confucianism, but it must also be that the Central Plains Dynasty has been reborn repeatedly and still strong: "For a long time, our script has been unique in East Asia, and any country or race that wants to come into contact with civilization can only learn our script."
They have learned our words, and their thoughts have also been influenced, that is, sometimes it is inevitable that there will be deviations from the south and the north. ” In the Zhuxia cultural circle, the peninsula is actually the most successful group of domesticated to a large extent, as a thousand-year-old subject country, the peninsula is almost like the Central Plains Dynasty, and it is also a relatively docile group among many subject countries; The same is the Jiaozhi side of the vassal country, after they became independent from the Central Plains Dynasty, the long years did not add much to the Central Plains Dynasty, but they did not cause much harm; For a long time, the Wajima were actually quite docile, even a little too humble.
Whether it is the peninsula, Jiaozhi or the Japanese islands, as long as the Central Plains Dynasty is strong, it will be well-behaved, and they dare to jump because the Central Plains Dynasty is weak, which fully proves that any friendship is false, and only if they remain strong forever can they stand.
Sang Yu thought that Liu Yan was talking about the matter of the Japanese people paying tribute one after another, glanced at the Japanese people kneeling on the ground, and said: "The first time the Japanese people paid tribute to the Central Plains was in 238 AD, the second year of Emperor Jing of Wei Ming, and he was canonized as the king of Wei and Wei. ” "Cao Rong" Liu Yan looked at the group of widows who knelt on the ground, their clothes had obvious characteristics of the Han Empire, but some details were modified: "The widow thought it was Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei." ” There are so many specious jokes in later generations that it is difficult for non-experts to distinguish between true and false.
Liu Yan really wants to remember reading an article that I don't know if it's a joke, saying that the first time Yamatai paid tribute to the Central Plains was Cao Pi was in power, Cao Pi was obviously in the Central Plains when he had entered the Iron Age, but it was more weird when he gave gifts to the envoys of Yamatai, that is, the three major artifacts that were rumored by the Japanese people, the Tiancong Cloud Sword, the Grass Nagi Sword, the Eight-Foot Qionggou Jade, and the Eight Mirrors.
Whether it's called the Tencong Cloud Sword or the Kusanagi Sword, it is a bronze sword anyway, and it was given to Himiko, the queen of Yamatai at that time.
It is a more generous thing to give jade to the Japanese people, after all, Zhuxia has valued jade since ancient times.
The mirror is a bronze mirror, and it is rumored that the mirror will be added as a special gift, either because the king of Yamatai is a woman, or because the makeup of the Japanese people when they met at that time was too ugly.
Now there is no evil horse platform, as for how to destroy and by whom, Zhuxia will not care.
The ancestors of the modern Japanese are those Yamato people who are now entrenched on the main island of the Wajichi near Shikoku Islands, and it is absurd to let them admit that they continue to be in Yamatai, and there is no doubt that it is absurd for the modern Han people to admit that they are the descendants of the Qiang, Di, and Qiang ethnic groups during the Wuhu Rebellion.
It is solemnly stated that the modern Qiang and Di are not the same thing as in ancient times.
Liu Yan admits that some jokes are still well-founded, and it is difficult for him to admit that the makeup of the Japanese people is good-looking.
The Japanese nobles at the scene painted similar makeup, their faces were covered with white rouge, there would be blush on both cheeks, and women would put a narrow lipstick on their lips.
Their makeup has a very long history, if you go back in time, all the way back to the ancient pre-Qin era and even the pre-Han Dynasty, the above makeup is exclusive to the court, and the folk can paint that kind of makeup on the special day of marriage, to put it bluntly, it is a lost culture in Zhuxia.
It is very unpleasant, but it is necessary to admit that the culture of Zhuxia has been lost too much, but the other ethnic groups around it that have absorbed the culture of Zhuxia have been well preserved.
There is a saying that if you want to see a smaller version of Li Tang Chang'an, you can go to the old town of Tokyo; If you want to see the drumming culture that was lost after the Two Song Dynasty, you can go to Vietnam to see the drumming team; The karate of the Japanese people and the taekwondo of the stick are all inherited or improved from the Tang hands; Not only these, but one mention after another, can almost be written into an encyclopedia.
"The Japanese nobles have always followed us."
What Yu Yi said was the makeup of the Japanese people: "They have repeatedly gone to Jiankang for Hajj, and the envoys are like this." ” By the way, the current land of Zhuxia actually preserves the same makeup, even the Wuhu Chaohua has not been able to completely "extinction", that is, now very few people can paint such makeup, and they are no longer painted during the marriage period, only some official prostitutes will paint when they welcome guests.
This kind of makeup will have variants in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the court has improved it, but the folk are only painted by some sassy men, but it is used in marriage.
When Liu Yan arrived, he originally thought that he would see every Japanese nobleman holding a fan in his hand, but he thought about it too much, at present, there is no shadow in the two Song Dynasty, and without the Song people inventing the group fan, it will not be transmitted to the Japanese archipelago, and the Japanese people naturally did not improve the folding fan, and the culture of the Japanese nobles holding a fan naturally did not form.
There is another point, Liu Yan obviously found that the nobles of the Japanese were not wearing kimonos in later generations, but the style worn by some priests of the Yin and Yang Dao.
If he had studied history, he would have found that the dress of the Yin Yang Dao priest was simply the official uniform of the doctor during the Spring and Autumn Period of the Zhuxia Continent.
It must be noted that the Japanese did not call the service they wore a kimono at the beginning, they actually called it Hanfu, the reason is, of course, that it was improved from Hanfu, and it was not until the Mengyuan destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, and after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, waiting for the Manchu Qing to be called the master of East Asia, the Japanese were unwilling to call their traditional service Hanfu anymore, and gave a kimono name.
There is even more fucked up, the magnates of the Japanese people did not call themselves Japanese or Yamato for a long time, they actually thought that they were a Han people, and even if they used radicals to make some hiragana and katakana with radicals, they still called themselves Chinese characters, and waited until the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Japanese gradually called themselves Yamato, but the fundamental reason was that they were no longer the subject states of the Southern Song Dynasty of the Central Plains Dynasty, and the two were equal diplomatic status.
Liu Yan didn't follow the arrangement of the Japanese people, and the rows of Japanese nobles he walked over and saw kneeling on the ground and cocking their buttocks high, but they didn't want to walk on the high platform at the specified time point according to the arrangement.
The high platform is still the Zhuxia style, Liu Yan has already learned from Wang Ji that the Japanese people are very attentive to the construction of the platform, and all specifications and styles are the Son of Heaven model, and repeatedly begged Wang Ji to let Liu Yan go to the high platform to accept the Japanese people's kneeling.
Liu Yan didn't even let the widows who fell to the ground get up, not that he deliberately wanted to insult or anything, as the emperor of the Han Kingdom, he hadn't dropped to this point, in fact, he completely ignored it.
"What is this" Liu Yan stopped halfway through, pointed to the things that were placed on the table, three things were covered by red satin, and he opened one of them: "Bronze sword" Wang Ji was appointed governor of the Wa Islands.
His job was to oversee the mining of gold and silver mines, and even to be responsible for the collection of sulfur and saltpeter, and to deter the countries of the Japanese archipelago, because the Han kingdom was indeed too powerful, and he, the governor, was like the king of those countries.
"Your Majesty, this sword is the sword that Emperor Wei Ming gave to Yamatai."
Wang Ji picked up the sword from the bench with both hands, and was not afraid that the sword body would be cut without a scabbard, and presented it to Liu Yan: "This sword has been lost several times and has been found, and it is now owned by Yamato." ” The so-called Yamato country is now a very small country, but from the moment it was born, its ambitions were not ordinarily large, and it was determined to unify the entire island from the beginning.
If history had not changed, they would have indeed managed to unify the whole island and govern the Japanese kingdom strongly, and at its peak, they accounted for most of East Asia, and even the Pacific Ocean was once their inland sea.
It was a well-maintained bronze sword, and strong traces of Zhuxia could be seen from the carvings, and the blade of the sword was also sharp, and even the human face could be reflected when you looked at the sword body closely.
It's just a bronze sword, Liu Yan has no plans to take it personally, the meaning of its existence is that there was a time when the emperor from the Central Plains Dynasty canonized a certain Japanese and left a record of pro-Wei Wei in history.

For Liu Yan, even if he has a hobby of collecting ancient swords, it is really meaningful to find the swords of great emperors or famous generals in history, that is, swords such as cadre, Mo Ye, and fish intestine swords also have collection value, as for what Tiancong Cloud Sword is almost no different from a piece of broken copper.
The Japanese people can also get their hands on the three "artifacts" given by Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming on this occasion, and they take out the three "artifacts" to express a meaning, which is probably "Son of Heaven, we have always been our own people", and the extension may be "The concubine's body has been stripped and washed, and the honey has been wiped and so on, hurry up and be lucky with the concubine" or something.
Liu Yan seemed to remember that the Japanese had been kneeling long enough, and gave an order to Cui Zong, and soon someone who specially sang the salute shouted: "Everyone is flat." ” There is no edict from the Son of Heaven, there is no edict from the Son of Heaven, and there will be no Son of Heaven's mandate, it has to be divided into occasions and objects, and the set of playing "Mouth with Heavenly Constitution" at every turn will only appear in romance works.
First the Japanese nobles stood up, and after the last Japanese nobles, the rest of the Japanese nobles who had been observing stood up one after another.
"The Japanese attach great importance to class."
Although Wang Ji had only been the governor of the Japanese archipelago for less than two years, he had to study the Japanese people: "Their common people were very conscious of respecting class and inferiority. ” The Japanese archipelago is actually in the age of slaves, and they will respect the class system, not by persuasion with good words, but by killing people at every turn to force compliance.
For example, on the Zhuxia side, even nobles could not execute slaves at will, but on the Wajidao islands, nobles could casually execute any nobleman or below as long as they were interested, which was a bloody proof of the solemnity of the class.
Don't expect Liu Yan to have a cordial conversation with those so-called kings or nobles, and even a conversation won't happen.
He inspected it and felt that it was enough, so he walked to the high platform, walked up the stairs to the top platform, and when he stood up, the Japanese people on the scene fell to their knees like cutting wheat.
"King Wen is above, and Yu Zhao is in the sky.
Although Zhou is an old state, its life is renewed.
There are weeks that are not visible, and the emperor's life is from time to time.
King Wen descended, around the emperor" Good guy, Liu Yan was still thinking about what he should do, and the Japanese people actually sang the Book of Poetry and the King of Dayawen.
This is a sycophant poem, the author is Zhou Gongdan, specially used to praise Zhou Wen Wang Jichang, since it was created, it will be sung on some special occasions, and the intention is of course to pat on the back.
After a poem was sung by King Dayawen, the Japanese people also shouted some words neatly, shouting and bowing down over and over again.
"Your Majesty."
Wang Ji knew some Japanese and translated: "They think you are a god. ” Liu Yan's moment: "":
