Let's talk about Confucius first.
Most people who criticize Confucius are nothing more than a few arguments, saying that he is ignorant of the people, that he is bureaucratic, and that he is pedantic. I would like to ask these "patriotic people" who have "righteous words", before you put forward these seemingly reasonable and thorough reasons, have you seriously understood Confucius and his theories? Is it really an objective elaboration or is it just based on impressions and indoctrination by others, and follow the trend to be someone else's repeater?
To say that Confucius is ignorant of the people is almost a nonsense without going through the brain! Confucius's main business in his life was to recruit disciples and educate the people. If he wanted to fool the people, he could have taught them nothing and left them confused. Why bother to "teach" them ignorance? It's like a person, he didn't think 1+1 could be equal to anything, but there was someone who was full, and in order to fool him, he taught him 1+1=3, 1+1=3, tired all day long. Foaming at the mouth, let this person who didn't know anything actually know: Oh ~ it turns out that 1+1 can be equal to something. Others say that he claims to have 3,000 disciples, and only 72 of them have achieved success. They say that he is an educator with such a low rate of admission. Whoever said this, have you understood the purpose of Confucius? His purpose is not to train doctors, but to improve the overall quality of the people. What he does is equivalent to the current nine-year compulsory education in the country, not a professor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. After nine years of compulsory education, very few become talents, but can you say that this national policy is useless? You can write to the State Education Bureau just because there are so few talented people: Stop compulsory education, you won't be able to train so many scientists! With compulsory education, there are still some people who talk and do things without thinking. If it is abolished, what kind of chaos will the country look like!
It is said that he is a bureaucrat, and his life is only for official careers, and seeking officials should not be like a lost dog. Friends who hold this kind of argument, will you be the mayor of Beijing at this moment? Not to mention the mayor of Beijing, I don't believe that even if you don't have one, the friends around you haven't burst their heads and want to take the civil service exam! What happened to the career? Whether it is the Spring and Autumn Period in which Confucius lived or the 21st century today, the path of taking an official career is the most direct way of retribution to the country for those with ideas and aspirations. Those who pretend to criticize Confucius' official fans are the ones who are really soaked in pedantry. Thinking that empty talk of benevolence, righteousness and morality is noble and elegant, thinking that a thinker should be a hermit. But have you ever thought about it, what is the use of a hermit's mind, and does a hermit really want to be a hermit? Either they have no way to serve the country, or they suffer from struggle and have no choice but to stay away from the world, and Confucius spent his whole life running for office and strengthening his will, so as not to let his thoughts be imprisoned and do nothing, not only do you not praise his tenacious spirit , but slandered his official fans, is he really confused or is he pretending to be confused to find a psychological balance for himself? Taking a step back, even if he is really seeking an official for his own future, what is there to criticize? You always say that the world has deified Confucius. He is just an ordinary person, not a saint. Then, since he is an ordinary person, can’t he consider his own future? Why at this time, you demanded him again with the standard of a saint? Are your positions more variable than tornadoes?
Said he was pedantic and established three guidelines to imprison the people. Please read it. The Three Cards are the reason why Dong Zhongshu distorted the original intention of Confucius in order to cater to the ruling class at that time, and used the name of a saint to give his master a justifiable reason to obey the people. The Spring and Autumn Period was the most egalitarian period in Chinese society, so Confucius was able to seek officials everywhere without being beheaded for the following crimes. Confucius himself was a commoner. How could he have proposed to the monarch at that time an argument restricting his thoughts and actions? Has he had enough good times? If this is the case, let alone Confucius is not a saint, he is not a normal person, it is even more impossible to teach seventy-two wise men. Don't think that you are the only one who is smart and can see everything with bright eyes. The ancients were not fools. If Confucius did not have the strengths of others and the demeanor of convincing others, how could it be possible for more than 3,000 people to be called teachers willingly?
Let's talk about the movie "Confucius".
I don't know what happened to most of the netizens in China, they seem to be very angry, but if it is a domestic culture, don't care whether it is good or bad, if you don't read it, just scold it first and then talk about it. It seems that "scolding" is not an expression of emotion, but a way of communication, a conditioned reflex like greeting. No, it's not a conditioned reflex, it's the flu virus, it's contagious. In a post, in general, except for those who are purely irritating, the content of the first ten layers will dominate the tone of the entire post: if people praise, then I praise, otherwise I will leave the organization; if people scold, then I will scold, otherwise I seem to have no idea. Therefore, the person who first jumped out to criticize "Confucius" became a banner that led the way, leading these warriors who went forward one after another to fight bloody battles on the road of boycotting "Confucius".
In order to set a high ideological benchmark for his boycott, he described this blind boycott of "Confucius" as a dissatisfaction with the monopoly policy of the Chinese film industry, and the boycott was for a positive national policy. What a flourishing scene of "the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of everyone"! Actually? Is it really so? However, it is because the vigorous promotion of "Avatar" has sharply increased the curiosity about 3D movies, but there is not so much money to catch up with this craze to enjoy it. Make up one more lesson, who knows, by accident, "Avatar" 2D is offline, and the hot discussion caused by this has led to the hot screening of "Avatar" 3D, which makes the price reduction a little misty. So the waiting people got angry, jumped out, and resisted without any reason. Until someone put forward the great idea of "boycotting Confucius is to resist monopoly", the advance team thought: Yes, if you say this, what I do is as meaningful as what Xu Sanduo did. So they all took off the clothes of the common people and put on the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, and successfully adapted from the grass bandit to the regular army.
Of course, I do not deny that some of them are boycotting Confucius with a tragic and solemn mood to save the country. For example, the first person to put forward this argument, regardless of whether he boycotted it because he wanted to save the country, or he came up with it after boycotting the country. This argument, he has played a wake-up call. But he forgot to remind this group of citizens who follow the rhetoric that foreign products should not be promoted while boycotting domestic products. Otherwise, as long as foreign movies enter the country in the future, movie ticket prices will skyrocket, so are you revitalizing China's national movies or developing them? A film career abroad? A "Avatar", the global box office of 1.8 billion US dollars, China contributed more than 100 million US dollars. A movie ticket in the U.S. is $10, but it costs $30 in China. What exactly drives movie box office and ticket prices? Are Chinese people rich or have their consumption concepts changed? It is a strong foreign-loving sentiment! Foreign goods are good, and foreign blockbusters are good. This kind of blind admiration has turned the Chinese market into a gold mine for foreigners. No matter how high my ticket price is, as long as I try my best to hype, there will always be a lot of them. Chinese people tighten their belts and flock to watch my films, and then I use Chinese money to make bigger films, soaring higher ticket prices and making more Chinese money.
Poor Chinese, just one confrontation between "Confucius" and "Avatar" reflects his insanity and foreign-loving face, and he also brazenly declared that it was to "save domestic movies". It is not terrible to make mistakes. What is terrible is that you do not know that you are making mistakes. This is not a mistake, but ignorance.
