Happy New Year! May we all in the new year stay calm at heart, act with determination, have daily thoughts, and everything go smoothly.

As China rises, East Asia seems to be gradually returning to its historical pattern. Japan still appears to be the exception. Today, Japan, allied with the New Roman Empire, objectively speaking, has hardly ever been part of the Chinese-led tributary system even when viewed over thousands of years of history. Will the safety buffer created by geographical barriers in ancient times change in the future? This is a very interesting observation. After all, the New Roman Empire once conquered the world across the ocean.

Vassal states are willing to join the Qing Dynasty's tributary system, primarily driven by interests: similar to contemporary international politics, their demands include: First, obtaining political endorsement from the Qing Dynasty to enhance the legitimacy of their regime within the region; Second, leveraging the tributary relationship to conduct tribute trade, receiving rewards far exceeding the value of the tribute items, and maintaining stable civilian trade channels; Third, seeking military protection from the Qing Dynasty when facing external threats.

According to the "Wanli Minghui Dian," the Ming Dynasty's vassal states reached as many as 184, extending as far as Africa and southern Europe, and even south to Aboriginal tribes in Australia. There are over 400 overseas garrisons (overseas military bases). Of course, not the entire East Asian region was integrated into the Qing Dynasty's tributary system. The East Asian countries and regions that did not join this system mainly include:

The major vassal states under the Qing Dynasty's tributary system are roughly divided by region as follows: Northeast Asia: Joseon Dynasty of Korea; Southeast Asia: Nguyen Dynasty of Vietnam, Siam Bangkok Dynasty, South Champa (Laos), Myanmar (Yongzheng Yaw Dynasty, intermittent tributary relations), Sulu (present-day Sulu Islands of the Philippines), etc.; Central Asia: Kazakh Khanate, Bukhara (ancient Kyrgyz ancestors), Hovhaj Khanate, etc.

Coincidentally, a boat passes by the #Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok, evoking some historical memories. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha commemorates the story of a Chinese man, Zheng Zhao, who led the Thai people to repel the Burmese restoration and expand territory, and was crowned as the King of Thailand by the Thai people. Throughout Chinese history, China has long been the dominant civilizational power in East Asia, and of course, there was a time when it acted as the world’s policeman. Now, it is simply returning to that role. Just take the Qing Dynasty's tributary system as an

The combination of Chinese humanities and nature, these places are worth collecting. One day when we have money and free time, or maybe someday in the future when AI takes over all the work and we no longer need to work, let's go and see them. 🏕️

#Fei-Fei Li: K12 education is completely wasting students' time. AI is rapidly proving that many things can be done by machines, and making humans spend ten or even dozens of years doing most of what machines can accomplish is a waste of human resources. Parents need to quickly adjust their approach to their children's education; otherwise, from a future perspective, many seemingly correct traditional educational methods may be traps that consume time and money.

Shenzhen Museum recently gained popularity with a wave of 🤣. Other museums are competing over the Shang and Zhou dynasties, while Shenzhen Museum's exhibits are from last week. I thought they were from the Qing Dynasty, but it turns out they are from the early morning. Truly, Shenzhen Museum has one item after another, but they don't have everything my home has.

#赵何娟 与 #Deep conversation with Li Feifei, the Mother of AI, is very worth listening to. Topics include ethical issues, civilization issues, educational issues, etc., in the AI era. How should parents guide the next generation to face AI, especially what skills does the next generation need to learn to deal with AI? What is no longer meaningful to cultivate now?
