Enlightenment of Gao Mao's classical Chinese

1. What is the irony of the classical Chinese top hat? The allusion of "wearing a top hat" comes from Lu, a scholar who retired blindly in Qing Dynasty.

The world calls flattery "wearing a top hat". On one occasion, two students (the old imperial examination and those who called themselves "students" to the examiner) were transferred to other provinces for the first time and went to visit the teacher together before they left (the students or teachers called the examiner "teacher" in Ming and Qing Dynasties). The teacher told them, "Nowadays, the world is not ancient, it is difficult to do things, and it is difficult for good people to do things." . I have nothing to give you except one sentence: everyone will get a tall hat, and everything will be easy. A student said, "Teacher, you are too smart." In today's society, how many decent officials like you don't like high hats? "The teacher was ecstatic. When they came out, the student smiled and said to his companion, "We gave the teacher a tall hat. "

The most obvious irony is those who flatter, flatter, pretend to be lofty and self-righteous.

Realistic Images in Top Hat

Liking to listen to good words and flattery is a weakness of human nature. It is precisely because of this weakness of human nature that flatterers, flatterers and people with high hats have a place and a broad market. Let's look at the little people who are determined to succeed at this moment, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. How many people didn't start out by kissing ass? How many people don't get ahead by wearing a top hat? How many people have no flattering housekeeping skills?

Some people like to flatter and flatter, and naturally others like it. As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. This problem should be viewed from two aspects. It is abhorrent to flatter others, and it is equally abhorrent to like others to wear top hats. Some literary works often regard flatterers as satirical objects, depicting the image of servility, but show mercy to those who like flattery. It seems that all the problems are caused by flatterers.

In fact, people who like flattery have the same unshirkable responsibility for the declining world and social corruption. Through the dialogue between a Beijing official and a teacher, The Top Hat describes in detail the mentality of people who send top hats and people who like to wear top hats, and shapes these two kinds of characters in the process of lifting weights easily.

In particular, the quiet teacher who likes to wear a top hat, first angrily rebukes his disciples for flattery, saying that he wants to be a decent person, and then "bows his head" to accept the top hat given to him by his disciples, which is a complete hypocrite. The article criticizes the secular disadvantages, penetrates the back of the paper, and is a comic sketch.
