Rabbit eyes see the world

"WATERSHIP DOWN" is a cartoon produced by the British company NEPENTHE in 1978 based on the novel of the same name by RICHARD ADAMS (now there is a Chinese version of the book in China, called "Watership Wasteland"). Tell the story of how a group of rabbits escaped from the old house to build a new home. The picture is elegant and lifelike, very beautiful, and all the rabbits in it speak standard English accent, classical and gentle, with very good style. I think Europeans seem to respect children very much. They never underestimate the IQ and aesthetic abilities of children. No matter whether it is children's literature or children's film and television, there is no condescending sense of superiority, and there is no such thing as fooling and bluffing anyway. So the old ones like "WATERSHIP DOWN", "The Little Prince", and "The Man Who Lives in the Tree"; the new ones "Harry Potter" are full of the author's romantic imagination and serious thinking about life. Of course, these grown-up children are not the same as those who were scared by "Grandma Wolf". My brother likes sports. He told me an interesting thing: Someone asked Ma Junren why China's track and field is inferior to foreign countries. Ma said: That is. Look at what other people’s ancestors ate for three generations, and what our ancestors ate for three generations! In children's literature, we don't have any local resources (Zheng Yuanjie feels good is not for no reason), it's all luck. If you have better luck, you will have a good childhood when you encounter some world-class people among your parents and teachers. We all like children who smile at others, but you should observe them carefully, and see strangers, whether our children smile more or cast their eyes a lot. They are not to blame, nor to their parents, to our ancestors for three generations of poor food.


Digress, come back and talk about rabbits.

Rabbit's World: I don't understand postmodern books, but I am very interested. If postmodernity contains content that subverts subject-object thinking, then children’s thinking has a certain degree of postmodernity. Children always feel that everything around them is a subject, and even things have thoughts. The dog told him a secret today. The stairs are really bad and he tripped him. If he doesn't obey Dad's ruler, he will dance... Everything is essentially the same, so don't be self-righteous. Rabbits naturally have a world of rabbits. The house must be built underground, the room must be connected to the room, eat vegetables, the longer the ears, the better the vision, the faster the run will attract the opposite sex, the more children will be born, sensitivity is the most beautiful character. Everything is right and right.

Rabbit language: The importance of language is clearly stated in the "Bible". If humans all speak one language, then the Tower of Babel would have been built long ago. I am very fascinated by all kinds of "black words". Because mastering a language gets the key to open a door. RICHARD ADAMS thought of a bunny language for rabbits. "Pull" is "great", "Snoring toot" is a car, and "Eriel" is an "enemy"... In rabbits, dogs do not call dogs, cats do not call cats, and great people are called rabbits. Ding Ding and I were awkward talking about rabbits, and Ding Ding said as long as the rabbits feel happy. Sometimes, a language is connected with a way of thinking and culture, and when we learn a language, we are also learning a way and culture. Don't learn if you feel boring, but it's better to be respectful enough. People in different contexts are very different. Don’t blame Americans for being arrogant, because their I is always capitalized, and don’t think they are too polite, because YOU, HE, and HER are all in front of ME. . Foreigners should not think that the Chinese are really ignorant. There are many pronunciations of a Chinese character with N different ways of writing. There are many possibilities. It is said that China is a country with a civil law system. We should pay more attention to the status quo of legal development in countries with a civil law system. However, there are a lot of articles published in the United Kingdom and the United States, which may have something to do with language.

The characteristics of rabbits: A long time ago, God made all the animals on the ground look the same. They all graze and have kind temperaments. One day God said to the rabbit: Your team is growing too fast! Eat up all the grass! As their head, you have to take charge and plan. The rabbit is not happy. So God said you wait, and then turn some of the animals into wolves, foxes, dogs, eagles... you will all have trouble with rabbits. The rabbit can only ask for mercy, saying: God, I dare not. You help me. God moved his compassion, so he said: I have changed, but I cannot go back. I can only change you too! . If they want to eat you, they must first catch you. But your ears must be long and able to hear. Your legs must be strong, able to dig holes, and run. Your people must be smart and capable of life. There must be some reason for what we become. Constructive postmodernism advocates a global ethics. The first principle of this ethics is: "If something protects the integrity, stability and beauty of the biological community, it must be right; otherwise, it must be wrong." The most pessimistic and desperate time Think about the rabbit, your own existence will not be meaningless. If you continue to think along this line of thought, you will feel that people are still a bit of a good personality, even if nothing is achieved, at least they will make a small contribution to biodiversity.

Watership Down quotes

  • Fiver: Look. Look. That's the place for us. High, lonely hills, where the wind and the sound carry, and the ground's as dry as straw in a barn. That's where we ought to be. That's where we have to get to.

  • [music gets tense as Campion and the other Efrafans see the dog that Hazel and the others have unleashed on them]

    Campion: Run! Run for your lives! Run!
