So far, the problem of China people is that they pay too much attention to words. If the writing is too developed, it will be fake. Everything that has been circulated is hypocritical, and it is all imagined by literati. Therefore, the better the written description we accept, the darker the real life will be.
This forms a vicious circle:
The outside world is dark, and we write articles for ourselves in order to escape briefly.
The articles written are very beautiful, and others like to read them, which makes the literati very favored.
Compared with the world, the world of words is really good.
Then it spread all over the country.
The underdeveloped traffic in China has caused people in this place to think that that place is beautiful, and that place thinks that this place is beautiful, but it is superficial.
In reality, China people are very introverted, hypocritical, and like to fantasize and escape. There is hell, and I dare not face the reality. Everything is hidden rules.
The less beautiful the reality is, the more it escapes. The more it escapes, the less beautiful it becomes. Until later, the literary inquisition prevailed, and it was impossible to write anything real. Once written, it might be beheaded. Li Zhuowu is like this, and so is Jin Shengtan. What excellent people those people are.
The west is another situation, and the western writing is underdeveloped. Westerners are strong and often fight. They interact with each other. So their religion is love, spirit-the infinity of God; Instead, China's harmony between man and nature is the spirit of loneliness and elegance-infinitesimal.
Buddhism, born in India, is a very special religion, which is actually a way of keeping in good health. He was created by the transcendence of human spirituality from zero to infinity.
Lonely happiness, this is what China people pursue-becoming immortal and gaining enlightenment. Only a few people can envy Yuanyang but not immortals, and the price is painful, like butterfly lovers.
But in the early days of the west, the spirit was very poor because their writing was very underdeveloped. So they can do great literature, and those who can gain fame in words, their Nobel Prize in Literature is also great. Their articles are on the table.
And China's article is definitely written from the beginning. I think Laozi was the first to write a good article. It is the pinnacle of the four classical novels, which cannot be surpassed by future generations. In modern times, there are no really good articles, they are all imaginary works.
Everything is natural, no matter how good you are, it's best to be technical. Therefore, imaginary articles can't be compared with real articles.
Moreover, fictional articles lead to people's two values, one from the text and the other from reality. People often believe in the value of the text and escape from reality.
So people in China began to write prose. Essays are writing novels into life. Lu Xun is the most famous figure in life novels. But he is not as good as Li Ao. Because Lu Xun's novels only reveal superficial political things, they can't dig out more essential things and can't solve the metaphysical problems of China people. Li Ao did this. He is an exhibitionist-why? China's problem lies in the hidden rules, not only in politics, but also in being a man. It goes through everyone's bones. The so-called anti-Tao movement is also. If you want to fight back, you have to fight back to your bones. So you will see that Li Ao even posted nude photos of himself. This requires a great sacrifice in China-you have to understand that in China, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated, that is, face is more important than death. So when Li Ao did these things, he simply put life and death aside and prepared for martyrdom.
Now there are people who are cynical, and there are people who compare Li Ao with this and that. I saw an article the other day comparing him with Li Zhuowu. Later, some people commented that Li Ao was inferior to Li Zhuowu, because Zhuowu died and Li Ao didn't. God, I almost threw up. This is the way these guys in China study people, this is the way they study history, and this is the way they are always vigilant and always ready to find some ways to apply it to history.
Can people compare like this? Can history be read like this? In the author's eyes, people are simply pigs. Li Ao and Li Zhuowu are typical selected pigs. He doesn't care about other pigs and their life and death.
Think about how people in China read the Three Kingdoms, and you will know that life and death are irrelevant, and Guan Yunchang is one of them. People pay attention to the hero inside, not the strategy inside. At best, this is called strategy, at worst, this is not a conspiracy. What is this?
So China people can't get modern Nobel Prize in Literature. It's not because no one abroad knows Chinese, but it's impossible to do it in words. China's truth is not in words at all. It is almost impossible to talk about Gao Xingjian, because it is true after all, but it is only one person's truth, not China's. China is really living, but how can foreigners understand the life of China people? As the movie Guasha said: As long as they don't misunderstand you?
Let's talk about poetry. Poetry is a very special style. This is the language of God-the language of metaphysics. Why do you say he is the language of God? Because everyone can see something from it, but you don't understand what the whole poem is about. In Nietzsche's words, it is written for everyone to see, and it is also incomprehensible to everyone. So what we usually get in front of poetry is aesthetics, not understanding.
What about poetic philosophy? Is to speak philosophy in the language of God. This is morality. Therefore, Nietzsche's article can be regarded as a moral quotation and a motto.
What am I saying in the whole article?
There is only one sentence:
Those words and articles are often untrue.
China people should get rid of the text, get rid of the history of the text and return to real life. Because both writing and history are accumulation, where is the accumulation? Accumulated in each of us, all the time in our lives.
