Hegel said that China has no history. To be precise, China does not have no history. China's history is an endless cycle. The reason why China has lagged behind the West since then may be a big reason for the French Revolution. The Enlightenment Movement before the French Revolution had a profound impact on the French revolution. The ideas of freedom, equality, and fraternity are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Voltaire Rousseau madly mocked the feudal class forces of that era, mocked those with nobler family backgrounds and origins than his own, mocked those who came to power by relying on paper data and forgot themselves. They seem to believe that only the talented class, or in other words, only the people and talents, can act on behalf of this country. Therefore, Voltaire proposed that enlightened monarchy may be for this reason, and Rousseau's theory of the people's contract promoted this idea. Just like Louis XVI's words on the guillotine, it was Rousseau who destroyed the old France. Let people realize that the emperor is no longer sacred, the imperial power is no longer majestic, and create conditions for the elite to step onto the stage of history. Just imagine, if the Tang Dynasty, the most feudal and prosperous dynasty, had a great revolution similar to France, what would happen? We must have been ahead of the West for thousands of years. This book starts with Jinjiang University and tells the story of the French Revolution that belongs to China.
