After returning to Jinling, the TV station's staff did not rest. The editors began to edit the show overnight.
While the TV station was editing the program, Wang Yu sat in a dilapidated Taoist temple room and browsed the web through his phone, searching for information about this world.
The signal in the mountains was weak, but they could still connect.
After comparison, Wang Yu roughly understood the situation in this world.
The two worlds were very different, but they also had great similarities.
The similarity was that the history of this world was very similar to that of the previous world. Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn Warring States, Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, the general direction of history was basically similar.
Other than the similarities in the general direction of history, there were basically no differences in historical celebrities.
Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che.
Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty.
None of these emperors had changed.
Apart from these, the two worlds also had many similarities in terms of culture and technology.
The four great inventions of China still existed: the compass, paper, printing, and gunpowder.
Tang poetry and Song poetry were still eternal classics. Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi, and other famous ancient scholars still existed in this world. Their works were almost the same as those in his previous life.
In terms of technology, the two worlds were similar.
This world also had cell phones, computers, satellites, and so on.
The Federation was still the hegemon of the world.
However, there were still some changes.
The changes were mainly reflected in China.
The Celestial Empire of this world had been established earlier and was far more powerful than the other world. It had replaced the polar bear to fight against the Federation.
Although the Federation was the strongest, China was not weak either.
Japan was still the Federation's lackey, but Southeast Asia was China's territory. The Celestial Empire manipulated the Southeast Asian countries to fight against the Federation for control of Nanyang. This was also the biggest battlefield for both sides.
However, compared to the change in national strength, the biggest change in China was in its cultural heritage.
Because of the lack of Taoism in this world, Eastern culture had lost many things.
Firstly, myths were missing!
Most of the myths circulating on the internet were Buddhist myths, Christian myths, and some myths and legends of other religions. The traditional Eastern myths were very scattered.
The Heavenly Court was gone.
The Jade Emperor was gone.
The God Rankings were gone.
Journey to the West was gone.
The legends of Pangu creating the world, Nüwa creating man, Houyi shooting the sun, and even Chang'e flying to the moon still existed, but all the stories related to Taoism, such as the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and Erlang saving his mother, had disappeared.
Even if it existed, it was changed beyond recognition. The protagonist became a monk and even a Christian.
At present, the most influential religions in China were Buddhism and the Holy See.
The development of Buddhism was due to the support of the Qing court, which swallowed the legacy of Taoism.
Although Taizu had once suppressed Buddhism after the establishment of the Celestial Dynasty, the situation was very different from that year. Moreover, Taizu was not the Tartar Emperor.
Buddhism had suffered a heavy blow, but as the suppression of Buddhism by the Celestial Dynasty weakened over the years, it gradually rose again.
The biggest reason why the Celestial Empire gave up on suppressing Buddhism was because of the invasion of the Holy See.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the world was in chaos.
When the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded, Western culture was like a wild vine that wantonly swallowed up the land of the East and took root here.
When Buddhism was suppressed, the Holy See had developed greatly.
In order to balance the power of religion, the Celestial Empire gradually relaxed its suppression of Buddhism.
However, the Church's power had already been established, and it was difficult to eradicate it.
Even if China stopped suppressing Buddhism, it could only suppress the development of the Church.
The most direct manifestation of the Church's invasion was in the cultural circle.
In the east of this world, because Taoism had been completely wiped out from the eastern culture, other than Buddhism, there were only the Church.
In literature, there were many articles and eulogies about Western gods in modern times.
There were articles praising the Lord, angels, and even other gods.
Film and television should be the most direct place to show it.
Most of the traditional demons and monsters had become the Western demonic beasts. The ones who killed the demons and devils were no longer priests, but the Church's monks who held the badge of light and praised the God of Light.
Especially in mythological dramas, other than Buddhism, there was also the Church.
Wang Yu flipped through the cultural works of this world and could not help but feel extremely sad.
I, a 5,000-year-old eastern civilization, have actually fallen to such a state?
They actually needed to sing praises for the western gods and could only interpret the stories of the western gods to fill in the gaps in the myths?
After a long time, his phone ran out of battery.
Wang Yu sat in the darkness and sighed with a lonely expression.
"Hey."
"Perhaps I came to this world for a reason.”
"Eastern culture, which is full of its own personality, shouldn't have become like this. The Hundred Schools of Thought and Taoism shouldn't have disappeared so completely.”
" Laozi, Zhuangzi, Zhang Daoling, Lü Dongbin, Wang Chongyang, Zhang Sanfeng, and countless other ancient sages who had made outstanding contributions to the East should not have ended in such a way.”
"Their names should go down in history!"
" They should be with the Eastern civilization, passing down their legacy for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, and eternity!”
" The Eastern civilization should regain its own characteristics and everything that it has lost.”
Thousands of thoughts surged in Wang Yu's mind, and he felt a great sense of responsibility for the inheritance of civilization.
"Ding! The host has completed a legendary event and obtained one golden legendary point. Do you wish to proceed with the lottery draw?”
