Qian Zhongshu’s "The Besieged City" once described that some Chinese majors went abroad to study for masters or Ph.Ds after graduating from university, and their majors were still Chinese. ——Why do Chinese people go to other countries to learn Chinese. This description is somewhat ridiculous in the novel. Of course, irony is the old habit of Qian. The longer and deeper he learns, the more he looks down on the mistakes made by others in his field. It’s like pi-when you study 3.14, you may not mind people who think that π is equal to 3; when you study 3.1415926, your attitude may change; as you study to more than 100 decimal places, Suddenly someone stood in the square and shouted, "I finally figured out that π is equal to Consumer Protection Day." What will happen to you? (Of course, I don’t mean to say that Chinese traditional culture is so superior to other countries, but at least it used to be worthy of the title of "Ancient Civilization in the World".)
Now we are looking for and digging out the shadow of Chinese culture in other countries all day long. Regarding Korean and Japanese cultures as branches of the five thousand years of Chinese civilization, they laughed at European civilizations for ruining their hair and drinking blood, and laughed at the lack of precipitation in American history. Finally, in terms of cultural promotion, he considers himself as the suzerain and is always self-righteous, thinking that the numbers after the decimal point can expand infinitely, and always reflect our superiority. But I don’t know when, when we look back on the horse-drawn carriage of Chinese history, how many people pretended to be quite surprised and talked in whispers--the "Chinese civilization" that we are so proud of and make us despise the world. Following the wheels, we were abandoned all the way in an organized and disciplined manner. —Finally, we shamelessly used a word to prevaricate it—fusion.
Well, we pay attention to integration, and culture is no exception. Regardless of whether it is looking at foreign cultures or foreign cultures, there is a short sentence called "take the essence and remove the dross." So, when we "take the essence", do we have to "go bad" at the same time? Okay, let's go! But why do we go to the "outside" "bad" and castrate our own "bad" together? Go deeper, what is essence? What is dross? Who defines the essence and the bad of culture? Our infinite screening of good and bad results is to make the carriage load less and less, and then continue to be less and less! The essence that we have retained, is it really the essence? Guo Degang has a saying-"Traditional cross talk has more than 1,000 paragraphs. After years of continuous efforts by our actors, there are more than 200 paragraphs left." If Qian Lao is still alive, will he laugh at those students who go abroad to study Chinese culture?
Originally, I wanted to write a more relaxed film review, adhering to the principle of entertaining to death, and discussing jokes with everyone, under the gossip, under the relationship between bears and tigers, speculated that what the raccoon master said to the meteor crocodile and the storm cow made them regain their confidence. and many more. However, the thinking about "culture" makes Shixia always stubborn and unhappy. Well, in view of the insignificant knowledge of some trivial areas of "Chinese culture" below, let us use "Kung Fu Panda 1 and 2", "Secrets of the Five Heroes", and "Thanksgiving Special" to discuss this Heavy topic!
Character introduction:
Po panda Abao, in the following text "Abao"

below this sentence sought Code, not Can do it. "It" is most likely understood by the Americans—contains the idea of "Chinese culture". Literally, it is similar to "Chaos Theory", meaning that the ending cannot be changed, but I feel that this sentence is not "fate".
Let me talk about the film's attitude towards "fate". In "1", Dad Goose talks with Abao about the "noodle dream". Dad Goose’s father runs a noodle restaurant. Dad Goose takes his father’s business for granted. For his dream, Dad Goose said: "When I was young, I used to be crazy. I want to learn how to make tofu." But when Abao asked Dad Goose why he gave up, Dad Goose showed a sad expression and concealed: "Can you imagine what I look like when I make tofu? Everyone has fate." Then in "2", we knew that the signature dish of the noodle shop had tofu. The theme is obviously anti-fate, then how to interpret this sentence?
Hearing Guixianren’s prophecy, Master Raccoon sent someone to tell the jailer to strengthen his defense, but the feather helped Taro escape from prison. Hearing Yangxiangu’s fable, the white peacock ransacked the panda village, but it facilitated the encounter with Abao. When watching the movie, I saw these plots below, and first thought-"Prophecy" was all bad luck. This is fate and inevitable. But then, I will ponder this question in depth. Are these "effects" the "causes" of the "prophecy"? No, the "cause" is the "being" after it. Without these "beings", the "effect" is not necessarily. In other words, the interpretation of this sentence should mean something like this-you want to avoid a certain event, but because you chose the wrong behavior, it contributed to the event earlier.
When we use the phrase "we lose the horse" to explain this sentence, what we get is "fortune and misfortune are unpredictable"-when we blindly pursue a certain result of things, we may get another result. So, does it mean that we do nothing and sit and wait? The immortal turtle gave us the answer-to do what we can predict-"plant peach pits and grow into peach trees". This is similar to Marx's "Das Kapital"-"seeing the essence through the phenomenon". How to distinguish the predictable part of things? The turtle fairy tells us again-to maintain "inner peace".
2. Inner peace is the same as
Bai Juyi's " heart is like still water". First of all, it is explained that this theory is not unique to our country. The "quietness" of Taoism and the "calmness" of Buddhism are both pursuing oneself not to be influenced by the world. Both are founding doctrines in the 6th century BC, and it is difficult to say who influenced who.
Maintaining inner peace, that is, keeping calm emotions, not being affected by anything in the analysis, so as to draw the correct conclusions, and then put them into action, it is the answer to the above-mentioned "the child wants to avoid it, but to promote the encounter". Only when we see the truth of things, can we analyze the way to solve things and avoid "reversely promoting them."
This theory almost runs through the entire film of "2", and its meaning is not just to answer "Wengwei loses the horse". If the theme of "1" is "inspirational", then the inner peace of "2" promotes "fraternity." . Facing the genocide, Abao did not vent his anger to the white peacock, precisely because he was "calm" and was not affected by hatred. It also shows that this is a film that does not promote revenge, and is in love with Mozi. "The thoughts are consistent. Of course, it is far-fetched to drag Mozi out forcibly. The majority of Americans believe in Christianity, and their doctrines also promote "fraternity" doctrine and advocate forgiveness. (Anyway, don't mention Master Kongqiu's "repaying grievances with virtue", this is taken out of context, there is a half sentence after the master, called "how to repay virtue?")
Continue our peaceful journey-what is the purpose of learning martial arts? According to the ancients, learning martial arts should be self-cultivation. Self-cultivation naturally strengthens the body's functions, and nourishment refers to the pursuit of "inner peace". The story of Ji Chang's learning art in "Shoot without Shooting" also tells the same truth. —— Ji Chang became the best marksman in the world after learning art, but his temperament changed drastically. In the eyes of people, he is gentle and kind, uncontested, and no longer has the intention to show off in front of everyone, and he doesn't even know what a bow is.
We have criticized Lao Tzu's inaction, thinking that the ancients lacked a sense of competition in their bones and were too indisputable. This is true, but we can't just look at the result arbitrarily and analyze the reasons for this result.
The next point of view-it’s not the ancients that was wrong, it was us now.
Once, the general outlook on life in society was to improve one's self-cultivation. Whether it’s learning martial arts, learning arrows, learning music, learning art, these martial arts, arrows, music, art, etc. are just springboards to get to know yourself and things. It is not a goal. The real goal is the inner peace that we once preached. There is no dispute in the world. ——Do you value Mei Lanfang's artistic attainments or his artistic virtue and his personality? ——This is the truth.
We are wrong now, or China is wrong now, how many people like Taro are blindly pursuing things that should be a springboard, ignoring the real purpose. For the so-called "purpose", he has no choice but to resort to methods and methods, suffering painfully in the process of chasing, and then at a loss when he gets it. Why is it painful? Why are you at a loss? ——Because the pursuit is wrong, we idiots. Why didn't the Turtle Immortal agree with Taro? He thought Taro was obsessed with the Dragon Scroll, but he had forgotten his purpose. "I want to get the Shenlong scroll." "Why?" "No why!" "Fuck you." Why didn't the turtle immortal assign the Shenlong hero to the Five Heroes? He believes that Master Raccoon was also wrong. Before Master Raccoon understood what "inner peace" is, the five martial arts masters taught were not qualitatively different from Taro. "We want to get the Dragon Scroll" "Why?" "To stop Taro." "Go to his uncle Taro."
When did Master Raccoon think A Bao could be a teacher? ——A Bao said "I'm not hungry". We will discuss the education method of Master Raccoon later, here is just an explanation of the finishing touch-"I am not hungry". Most of the springboards for others to learn martial arts are "wu" itself, while the springboard for Abao Xuewu is food-in order to be able to eat. Moreover, this "in order to be able to eat food" was not a springboard, but a purpose when he first started contacting "wu"; when he threw the buns into the hands of Master Raccoon, he no longer regarded food as martial arts. The purpose is, although it is far from "inner peace", but at least he understands that his "purpose" is only a "springboard".
(When we are no longer earning money to prevent old age, prevent illness, prevent children from going to school, get married, have children, prevent no shelter, etc., I believe we will pursue inner peace. Then please ask an organization to solve the problem Social issues such as expensive tuition fees, the custom of asking for a house for marriage, the custom of asking for a car, 70 years of housing income, etc.)
3. Believe in yourself
There is no secret recipe, the soup is delicious, and people's potential is tapped from self-affirmation. The Dragon Scroll is actually just a mirror. Only confident people will understand that this little trick is similar to that you pursue a girl and ask her "Do you want to see a picture of the person I like"-and then you hand her the Dragon Scroll. The film uses this technique, and it can also show that except for inner peace, all purposes are springboards.
Think back to the supreme move in "1"—there are no virtual fingers. Say it is supreme, because there is no picture of this trick in the film, we only see the frightened expressions of Abao and Taro at this trick. In the following understanding, there is no meaning at all, and it is the same as the secret recipe of noodle soup. After seeing the Dragon Scroll, Taro was shocked by the confident Abao, who was shocked by words alone. Master duel, the mentally strong side decides the victory.
2. Regarding education
-the film severely satirizes the shortcomings of Chinese education.
1.
Teach students according to their talents . We don’t need to discuss the current education system and education methods in China. "Teaching students in accordance with their talents" has always been our theory, and it is the practice all over the world, but we have abandoned it.
Master Raccoon's motivating method for training the Five Heroes is the same as his method for training Taro-the Dragon Scroll. When he obeyed Master Tortoise’s legacy, but had nowhere to do with A Bao, he discovered A Bao’s potential and changed his motivational tactics, using food as bait. For Hu Niu in the orphanage, Master Raccoon taught her to "converge"-to use her own power freely. From these two successful examples, we can see that to be a good teacher, you must first understand your students in order to teach students in accordance with their talents. This sentence is given to the world's colleagues for mutual encouragement.
2. Success does not need to copy the
spirit snakes. All the snakes rely on fangs as a weapon to defend the village, but the pretty little dragon has no teeth. Xiaolong's father is heartbroken for this. When the hard armor blocked the fangs of Master Spirit Snake, and the eager dragon to save his father defeated the enemy with a flexible and soft dance, Master Spirit Snake discovered his mistake.
This is the description of parents throughout China who have always used their own "experience" to warn their children, demand their children with their own merits, and hope their children will inherit the mantle. Dad Goose inherited his father, Dad Goose's father inherited Dad Goose's grandfather, and dreams of noodles for generations. Dad Goose's tofu dream was also obliterated by his father's Chunshun teaching.
The point of view of the film is: 1. Don't rely too much on your own advantages. 2. Your success may not be suitable for others, so there is no need to force others to follow your path.
3. Shortcuts to
success There are no shortcuts to success-this is a common view among Americans. If you take every step steadily, you will always come.
Looking back at A Bao's experience-he has become a dragon hero in a short time. How many months has the Five Heroes of the world been worse than A Bao for more than a decade? What does the film want to express?
If the film is meant to cater to the "shortcut" plot that Chinese people generally have now, I do not agree with the practice of DreamWorks. In the current impetuous environment of China, we do indeed have "shortcuts" plots, and all walks of life exist. All unscrupulous "means" for "ends" are so-called shortcuts, and I won't count them in detail.
But in the next thought, the film does not advocate "shortcuts",-after watching "2", the next is more certain of this idea. In "2", Abao is no better than Hu Niu, it can be said that he is not an opponent at all, so why can Abao beat Taro in "1"? You know, Wuxia is not Taro's opponent if you go together!
Kame-Senjin used "point acupuncture" when he defeated Taro. (Students who didn't pay attention to watch the movie again), Taro also used "point acupuncture" when he defeated the Five Heroes, but this technique was used for Abao. Bao tickles. Abao is the nemesis of Taro, or the nemesis of the "acupuncture" technique-too fat, which makes it impossible to accurately find the acupuncture points. (Mantis explained it when he made Abao acupuncture) From another perspective, Yang Xiangu's attainments are much better than Taro and Mantis.
In addition, when the Guixian Ren chose the Dragon Hero, A Bao, who fell from the sky, fell in front of the Guixian. The fairy said, "It's too interesting." What does the turtle fairy mean? ——Falling down from such a high place is not a big deal. This is a rare meat shield. For the hard-lined Kung Fu Taro, it weakens his attack power, and he can't even use his acupuncture points. Who would he choose if he didn't choose?
In the following understanding, Abao's success is not a shortcut, nor is it a coincidence. Abao has also made amazing efforts-he can grab a bun from Master Raccoon!
4.
Who caused the tragedy of Taro, the first teacher whose parents are children ? ——Master Raccoon. Who caused the tragedy of the White Peacock? ——His parents. It is also adopted, why is Taro's personality completely opposite to Abao's.
What is spoiling? 1. Too much care of the child, thinking that the child will never be wrong. 2. Even if the child's mistake is found, it is not corrected. 3. If you find your child's problem, if you don't correct it, you will indulge him further and further. (Yao Jia Xin, be cautious next time you reincarnate.) The
early master Raccoon discovered Taro’s problem and did not correct it. Taro believed that he was learning martial arts for the sake of Shenlong Scroll. When he could not get the Shenlong Scroll, he resented that Master Raccoon didn’t. Help him achieve his goals. Let's analyze it from the perspective of Taro's resentment-resenting his father for not helping him, then it means that Master Raccoon has been helping him before and has been satisfying his various needs. (The reason is very simple. When you see a wall that says-No trash here, it means that there has always been trash here.) It can also be explained that Taro has never experienced failure, and will not deal with the emotions after failure. .
Looking at the white peacock again, when his parents saw the white peacock studying fireworks all day long and planning to use them on weapons, and gradually revealed their desire to conquer, what did his parents do? --exile. I really want to smoke his parents for the white peacock. What is exile? Exile is to shirk responsibility! How many of our parents find that their children are naughty and mischievous are also using this method. They exiled him to school, hoping to use the power of the teacher and the environment to correct the children's mistakes. You are also shirking responsibility. You don’t care about your children, and hope that someone will take care of it for you. If something goes wrong, you criticize the school, the environment, or even the society. Ask yourself whether your responsibilities have been paid?
The next point of view-Taro is right, the fault is Master Raccoon. The white peacock is also right, it's his parents!
3. About the family
"I feed you, then bathe you, then feed you, and then keep feeding you"-Dad Goose looks at A Bao's small eyes, full of tenderness. When Abao’s mother put the baby Abao into the vegetable basket, the look of dismay, and the cry of Abao—"Mother" , When a child was a child, he was not called "mother" but "ah mom" or "bless mom")-the little details of DreamWorks are very moving.
If these descriptions are universal, then the luggage that Dad Goose prepared for A Bao, various items, and even "photos" of Dad Goose and A Bao. ——This is alive with Chinese characteristics! This is exactly what my parents prepared for me during spring outings, middle school outings, university trips, and business trips when I was younger—all the cares in the trivial and heavy lifting!
DreamWorks has studied China vigorously for this film, and even the feature of Chinese parents' over-protection of their children has been included in the film. Of course, overprotection does not mean spoiling, please refer to the above for the definition of spoiling. When Dad Goose said, "Why is he going to save China, he is just my son"-the audience burst into tears!
After Abao recalled his childhood and wondered "who am I?", Xiangu Yang said to him, "What matters is not what you have lost, but your future choices!" Abao recalled his being with Dad Goose Time, and then said, "I am Bao, I need a new hat."-The relationship between the biological parents and the adoptive father is resolved in an instant, and the two do not conflict. Don't care about the name "father and mother", but care about who is you Give love. Xia Xia discussed this with his wife before watching the movie. If the son takes the wrong hold in the hospital, there is no need to hold him accountable. He is our own son. ——So when watching movies, I have a strong sympathy for this.
In the "Thanksgiving Special", the following only pays attention to two points: 1. Goose Dad has professional ethics and keeps doing business for people who can't go home for the holiday. 2. A Bao gave up the important martial arts party and chose to spend the festival with Dad Goose.
——I really can’t see what nerve the US imperialism can use to paralyze the Chinese youth? There is no American shadow in the whole film. It uses Chinese scenes, Chinese ideas, and even integrates Chinese people's sophistication into the world. It tells the truth that we have known for a long time. I have never regarded "Mulan" as a Chinese-themed cartoon, although it is also produced by DreamWorks. In the graduation thesis of the next university period, "A Brief Talk on the Status Quo and Development Direction of Chinese Animation", the example of "Mulan" was cited. The attitude at the time was-this is not a Chinese movie, it just tells a story about an American soldier under the skin of China. I remember that during the defense, the instructor asked the next "In your understanding, what should Chinese cartoons look like?"-The next answer is "Not only the Chinese scenes, but the Chinese characters are Chinese animations. It should have Chinese cultural concepts, using the Chinese way of thinking, tell the truth well-known to the Chinese."-The "Kung Fu Panda" series completely conformed to the definition of Chinese animation at the time.
When Americans use Chinese cultural concepts and Chinese ways of thinking to tell the truth that Chinese people are familiar with, we instead regard it as a cultural invasion of capitalism. aggression? ——This is obviously an American teacher teaching Chinese to learn formal Chinese characters. Well, if this is really a kind of cultural aggression, I am happy to be a traitor to this kind of aggression. Our culture used to be like-more than 100 digits after the decimal point of π-but now it has long since disappeared. Today we use 3, and sometimes 3.15 can be used. When the Americans presented 3.1415926 to the Chinese, how can we still mention the last 100 people?
China, do you remember 3.1415926 by the Daming Lake?
