Modern Chinese history is a history of humiliation and disgrace. We have innovated and sought change, the May 4th Movement, New Culturalism, Mr. De and Mr. Sai, criticizing Lin and Piao Confucius, and completely denying Chinese culture. But there must also be dross that is used by the ruling class to deceive and enslave the people.
The total denial in that era had its revolutionary significance, but the effect of overcorrection afterwards was that we lacked self-esteem and self-confidence, and everything was in line with the West because of its economic development. It is true that in a sense, it is more effective to rejuvenate the country through science and technology than to rejuvenate the country through culture, but after all, culture and science are two co-ordinations.
Yes, at the time of the world's industrial revolution, our country was busy with intrigue, looting and bribery. People with integrity and ability will either be killed and their bones cannot be preserved, or they will live in seclusion and have nothing to do with themselves.
Most people spend all their energy on evil thoughts. The weak eat the strong, the smoky air, the evil spirits soar to the sky.
The concept of cultural China has long been smeared by the authoritarian feudal rule for many years. The result of Yelang's arrogance and contempt for technology has become one of the reasons why the national defense is vulnerable.
The subjugation of the country is a chain reaction caused by the feudal culture. However, feudal culture and Chinese culture are two concepts, and people often fall into the misunderstanding of partial coverage.
Everything should be looked at separately. Economically, Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea are stronger and more advanced than us, and we should learn from them. But it does not mean that our culture is backward. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was the most popular concept of democracy nowadays. Many Western theories that we worship and worship as imperial edicts can actually find similar grounds in ancient Chinese historical books.
Of the four major cultural birthplaces in the world, only our cultural foundation has been inherited. There are too many treasures and relics waiting to be excavated, but they are deliberately avoided. In the eyes of the new generation, patriotism is as unpopular as morality. It is an extremely pedantic nickname for stereotypes, bad habits, hypocrisy, and pedanticism. Laughter, scolding, and foreign adoration are actually a portrayal of inner inferiority and deliberate avoidance.
China is in the era of reform and reconstruction. Many people lack patience and confidence. They feel that the moon is full in this country, and they want to get a green card from the United States and a flight ticket to Japan, even if they scold the little Japan of the United States on the surface. Dog blood sprinklers, but most of them are actually unable to get rid of the sour grape mentality. The duplicity is not the same, either because of the pressure of public opinion and morality, or the only remaining role of shame.
But if there is a glimmer of hope that can break away from the connection with this 'poor, dirty, messy' country, they will spare no effort and rack their brains. At that time, they will either find some high-sounding reasons as a fig leaf to whitewash themselves, or they will directly tear their face and shame. No more.
Lu Xun criticized the Chinese national character by using the word 'slavery and charming bones'. Thousands of years of feudal and hierarchical rule have made Chinese people used to being slaves, and it will not change for a while.
The Taiwanese entertainment industry is a very good mirror. Although they have a bright appearance, they are bold and open about the topic. They advertise revolutionary democracy, but they actually observe a serious hierarchy of superiority and inferiority in private. Especially in the modeling world.
It belongs to low-IQ animals as a whole, but it is doing the communication business that has the right to speak and influence the next generation.
The self-confidence of chasing money status, fashion brand, and showing off comparisons is an inferiority complex under the surface. This is the cultural commonality of the impetuous and shallow pursuit of interests under the capitalist system.
Westernized and Japanese Taiwan is not a weather vane for the aesthetics of some parts of the mainland.
Why are we so humbled? Although the economy is the cornerstone of culture, it is necessary to know that culture and ideas are the premise of cohesion. Otherwise, there will be no principles, people will be scattered, and no matter how dazzling appearances, they will not be able to hide the ugly appearance of servility and exposure.
Economic vulnerability does not mean cultural poverty.
We praise the operation of the Western capitalist economic market, but there is no need for the culture to follow the trend. We are blinded by a kind of cowardice and have low self-esteem. We use them as the standard, because the followers, no matter how good they are, are only second.
Cultural China and economic China are like two countries. We in the country of cultural China should roam and be proud of it. And cultural China and economic China are consistent, and create an economy that belongs to our culture.
The history of Western cultural development determines that they are shallow and impetuous compared to ours.
Culture under capitalism is like Chen Jianzhou's short film to encourage 'national films', in the name of art but doing businessman's activities.
Film for film's sake. It is also because of the temptation to become famous (insert a sentence, the fame of Cape No. 7 is like a 3-stream singer who made a fortune overnight), and it is for the sake of money rather than intentions.
The real art is the inner perception and expression of the creator, and a person who doesn't know what art is at all treats the creation of art as constipation and shit. Ye Lang is arrogant, and what is even more stupid is that everyone holds shit as gold. It can be seen that art under the economy, utilitarian and purposeful, determines that it is not elegant and impetuous.
The Chinese culture that has been accumulated for thousands of years is vast, as long as we learn to appreciate, distinguish, and extract the essence from the rough, then the prosperity of the small self is not impossible, and the harmony of the big self in the world is not impossible.
Needless to say, it is so big, because caring for yourself is caring for human beings, which is actually very simple.
The economy can maintain our material wealth, but after all, people just want to live, just like some people say that the world itself is nothing, and prosperity is another important thing.
People live to be happy and satisfied. Even experience pain in order to feel better and find happiness. Human desire is a bottomless pit, and human beings often make the mistake of putting the cart before the horse.
Chinese culture makes us happy even if we are poor and love each other. Isn't this the ultimate meaning of life pursuit? It is no longer a matter of material alone that constantly stimulates the empty heart to consume the void process of life.
Of course, this is not a peaceful way, but a more peaceful way to deal with gains and losses, think rationally, and don't waste time fighting beasts. If I gain it, I am lucky if I lose it, I am free and easy, and take care of my heart.
Guidance under the Chinese culture breaks down the barriers to the heart.
It can not only guide the art to be calm and natural, but also guide the economy to be calm and unhurried.
To be proud in life, you must
laugh and see the world of the mortal world.
This world is not a binary world of one or the other, but a world of balance between yin and yang. You have me and I have you.
The impetuous pursuit of interests in the asset society leads to impetuousness in the culture, which is a drawback of the cultural world.
And our culture, China, has been poisoned by feudal culture but not corrupted by capitalist culture. This is our luck.
Culturally, we should not be inferior but also create and develop our own characteristics.
Whenever Fang Shiyu's father read, when the beauty rolled up the beaded curtain and frowned, the kind of chivalrous spirit jumped on the screen. It involves heroic chivalry and long love between children. These are all with Chinese characteristics.
When I was a child, I liked to watch Fang Shiyu, Huang Feihong, and Chen Zhen, because despite such a disgraceful history, they were still able to be proud and upright. Neither kitsch nor merciless, no wind dictates the rudder. Rather than any fine traditions that can be discarded, including the dog legs of national self-esteem and self-confidence.
People can have integrity in troubled times, but they are often easily invaded in a hotbed.
In the past few years, Chinese films have been all about big-budget productions. Most of the winners are films that spread dissatisfaction and show the ugly status quo, such as Jia Zhangke, such as the black coal kiln. The former is vulgar and terrible, with a painted appearance and no soul, the latter is not elegant enough, and the national image is severely damaged.
Why aren't there some videos that come from the heart, are beautiful and elegant, and give people hope of love?
There are so many touching stories in China that call for everyone's cohesion, Hai Rui, Wen Tianxiang, including the Anti-Japanese War stories such as Zhajidong, why did Huang Jiguang make some flashy things.
Even the assembly number ends with the pursuit of fame and fortune, which is really a portrayal of today's directors.
Therefore, in the continued worship of Europe and the United States, consumption of Japan and South Korea, and Westernization of the daily work under the financial interests of the continuous work. But there are not as many works that really interpret Chinese connotations as in the 1990s. Then, the pride and self-confidence of being a direct descendant of Chinese culture will probably vanish in the air because of 'slavishness'.
