What I wrote yesterday was very tiring. I didn't sleep well. I wrote something before I fell asleep.
A month or two ago, there was an interview in which a question was raised, and the content was roughly as follows:
When I was studying in Luyuan, I wrote something. After reading it, a teacher asked: Why do the authors of your online articles write so much? After self-examination, I found that I am used to emphasizing when I write articles, while traditional literature seeks to be just right, and to stop, because it has a sense of beauty.
It's not that I can't understand traditional literature. Fortunately, I can still understand it, so I can clearly see the reason for the difference: the audience reason. Readers who have really received elite education or systematic education have already formed a lot of basic logic in their hearts. To give a simple example, let's talk about the concept of "group silence". Why does this concept come from, and the consequences it causes are What, in the hearts of readers who have truly received systematic education, it only takes four words to form. According to the principle of output, there are concerns and seriousness about "group silence", perhaps this person's knowledge system has been fed back to him in an instant.
But most people in this society have not formed such a mechanism. I mean that more than 90% of the people in this society, even those who have gone to college or even obtained a higher diploma, probably have not formed such a mechanism. , then, for the sake of thoroughness and accuracy, I have to explain the ins and outs of "group silence" one by one, so that people not only see a seemingly cool term, but really understand it. mean.
It is also like a complex and profound masterpiece full of social metaphors, such as "Water Margin", only those with a perfect logical system can see the irony and disclosure contained in it. And most people will only see "Roaring when the road sees injustice! Brothers are loyal and eat meat and drink in large bowls and kill people!"
Enlightenment articles need to be clear about their directionality. This is what I understand after seeing these things clearly. Among the readers I have faced, there are many people who are powerful and profound. However, based on the current culture and education system of this society, there are too many people with flaws and one-sided problems in their personal thinking system.
This problem is very complicated. For example, to truly understand the Water Margin at the literary or philosophical level, a complete set of cultural training is required. In ancient times, this training was available and directed. There is no modern age, because the culture has collapsed, and the chain of cultural collapse has resulted in the state not being able to clearly define what it needs to create. If the state cannot be clear, education cannot have a goal. When education has no goal, the education system can only gather all the things that may be useful. in front of you. So even if it is a book of "Water Margin", even if you have experienced higher education, you will see a variety of thoughts. What kind of education direction is "right" based on modern times, we don't know, and we don't dare to draw conclusions easily, but there is no direction, it must be "wrong". Some would say that this is freedom, that is diversity, but it's not, and why not, and I'm not going to explain it here.
I seem to have explained a lot of things in the book, such as "heaven and earth are not benevolent", this is a deep and shallow concept in ancient times, deep because everyone avoids saying it, shallow because after professional training, it is not difficult to understand correctly . But after understanding it, you will find that it is more troublesome for them to understand without having to explain it to the ****. In ancient times, it was right to make people weak and ignorant.
Modern is different.
Democracy has become a big concept and trend since human rights were established. Many fools and elites say it better than anything else. In fact, democracy is the way of the gentleman in ancient times. When you understand logic, have discernment, are not selfish, and can be autonomous, that is true democracy. If the people want to be independent, they must enlighten the wisdom of the people. What are the requirements of the wisdom of the people? Human society is like a ship sailing in a sea full of reefs. There is no map. In the past, some of the best people were at the helm, walking in fear, one mistake, one rub, and millions of people died. . In the future, let everyone be at the helm, and its requirements can be made by everyone's own imagination. If China is like this now, and you say that national affairs should be decided by the people around you, I’d better immigrate. Immigrating to the United States is not safe, at least you have to go to Mars.
However, when human rights are becoming more and more important and people are being valued more and more, it is really possible to let you vote. At the beginning, you are symbolically fooled, and later, you may really be able to decide something.
Qi Minzhi mentioned it during the May Fourth Movement. Later, no one said it, and no one did it. There are objective reasons for this. In the past 30 years of reform and opening up, all the soil and sand have fallen. The original meaning of existence was to hold the cultural system of spiritual civilization. It did not play any role because it was destroyed long ago.
Talking about literature in Luyuan, the teacher said: "There are many people around me who have been sticking to it all the time." Perseverance is very valuable, but in the final analysis, the culture since ancient times is elite culture, and elite culture requires people to worship. For example, in universities, we say that university education has no direction, but knowledge has always been there. If you are a person with a certain degree of self-awareness, you can definitely learn a lot of things. On the contrary, if you are not self-aware, you will gain nothing, and the world will be different. Where does this self-awareness come from
After 30 years of persistence, when there is no substantive significance, has anyone tried to kneel? Have you tried to guide your brains? After all, the basic foundation of literacy has finally been laid.
My readers, or readers of online articles, are all over the bottom of the society. Please forgive me. What I said about the bottom is not contempt, because I have also read books, but there is no reason to go further. After leaving the society, I worked, moved bricks, 9 to 5 civil servants and married people read "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and the people above said it was superficial. In terms of spiritual level, this is indeed some low-level spiritual realm. However, do you blame these people
If you want to pull up the social level and pursuit in a society full of security and capital, you must be realistic and pragmatic. Oh, did you really do your best to say "I persevere" on it? Is it enough to sit on the sidelines and then criticize and abuse, and feel your own superiority
There was such a conversation during the interview.
Q: "Is yy and Shuang a means of building people up for you? Is it a way of entertaining?"
"Well, it is an extremely necessary means. At this stage, it is no less important than elegant artistic pursuit, or even more important."
"Efficiently kill time for readers?"
"No, it is the efficient output of values."
When our readers' hearts are 100% full of *, we talk about 100% spiritual pursuit, which is meaningless. Only by fitting in with 90% * and 10% of the pursuit can we effectively send people to a better place. I will send one ride, and the next one will be delivered by someone else.
What I am facing are readers with the basic attributes of reality. There are many friends who are willing to discuss these things and will be inspired by these things, and then they become less extreme. This is actually the path I have taken. Before that, I had been immersed in the discussion for a long time. For example, at the end of the fifth episode and in many places, some readers, who have a certain degree of literary self-cultivation, saw this and said that you actually destroyed the aesthetic requirements of traditional literature, and even destroyed The integrity of the work, in fact, I have said it again and again a long time ago, this is the balance I choose.
Why can't I understand: In fact, I am very aware of the destruction of the integrity of the work by these lengths
Even if it destroys the integrity of the work, I want to highlight them. And another reason is that the brutish means of undermining the integrity of the work can make them more visible.
I wrote a book with a very storytelling, and it can even be literary at a higher level. After I attract people, I rudely give private goods, but it is also the result of my hundreds of thousands of thoughts. I used to say that if you don't like it, you can dance. If you can't dance, you can endure it. If you can't bear it, then give up. Actually, I've said it more than once.
After each large-scale statement, someone comes out to post and state some basic concepts of literature. I can understand the meaning of the boxing in the middle, but I don't like these things. In the final analysis, "The Son-in-law" is from my point of view. An experimental article, it is to experiment with things that high-level literature cannot do. We try to kneel down and let people step on it. And because it is an experimental text, it cannot be concluded. I have repeatedly deduced it countless times. The basic concepts of literature are the starting point of this deduction. What you think you want to teach me, I have already broken it up and read it carefully countless times. But when you mention it, it will still waste my energy and time.
It's as if we have determined the basic attitude of doing things, and determined that after starting work with the most rigorous attitude, someone keeps jumping up and saying, "How can you be sure that you are right?" That is a waste of time.
I hope that after this post, no one will talk to me about the foundations of traditional literature. After writing, we can judge its merits and demerits.
…
To add, in fact, I have never thought about going to the high point of traditional literature. I advocate traditional literature because traditional literature expresses anything, and its techniques have been studied to the extreme. Just like the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, traditional literature was completely defeated, and these good techniques were lost.
However, the literature of the future should not be arrogant. It is not a fetish that hangs on the top of the tower for people to worship. It should be a ladder for human society to step on and see the scenery on the top of the tower.
The essence of human creation of culture is to explore and improve the spiritual realm of self. Any culture that does not aim to improve human society, whether it exists or not, is irrelevant.
My brain is running wild, and I write too much. Originally, these are things to be written in the postscript. Well, I'm going to catch some sleep. By the way, in the last half day, a single chapter is considered a ticket, okay ^_^(.)
