An article on the debate of Yu Dan's lecture room

[ Drafter's Note: We firmly believe that if we are telling the truth, then one person's signature has the same effect as many people's signatures. The reason why we decided to do such a thing together is to show that even in an era when spiritual beliefs are generally lost, the voice that sticks to the dignity of culture is by no means weak and silent. This paper first collected signatures in an internal forum of a university. When some young scholars refused to sign because they were "unwilling to offend Beijing Normal University", Yang Yang, a student from Beijing Normal University, resolutely signed his name. [

The biggest disaster faced by China culture is not from the erosion of foreign cultures, but from those ignorant people who are under the banner of revitalizing traditional culture. They are ignorant and have no respect for traditional culture. All their actions are often intended or not to genetically modify China people's culture-transforming human genes into mouse genes. The media's enthusiasm for such people is tantamount to using the toilet as a living room.

From February 7th, 27, a newspaper paid attention to Dan for seven consecutive days. The editor claimed, "Behind the' Yu Dan Phenomenon', we vaguely see the great power of China's traditional culture, and see the strong desire of the people in China for an easy-to-understand humanistic theory. We also clearly feel that the cultural popularization work of "interpreting classics with vernacular, interpreting wisdom with classics, interpreting life with wisdom, and interpreting human nature with life" has broad prospects in China. " At the same time, the editor said that the reason why we should pay attention to Dan is because, "in today's China in the 21st century, in today's world where human beings are facing more and more material challenges and spiritual confusion, it is both very necessary and urgent to dig up the rich mine of China traditional culture and let it play its unique power of enlightening the mind and sharpening the spirit." However, we believe that paying such inappropriate "attention" to a highly educated illiterate who enjoys castrating China's traditional excellent culture with the great influence of powerful media will only lead to the further decline of China's traditional culture. Trying to criticize today's world, which is facing more and more material challenges and mental confusion, by paying attention to Dan is tantamount to seeking a fish from a tree. As a representative of the mainstream media, the newspaper's move is extremely inappropriate, and some editors and journalists lack the minimum cultural conscience and basic humanistic quality, which is even more obvious. If the mainstream media all sing praises to the act of obscenity and obscenity of China culture, then China culture is doomed to perish without the invasion of foreign culture.

China culture has reached the most critical juncture. Compared with the Opium War and the New Culture Movement, the situation faced by China culture is more severe and hidden. Because, this time, she is faced with people who are under the banner of "digging up the rich mine of China traditional culture". They are eloquent and flattering, but actually secretly dug a grave for China culture. When Bai Xianyong randomly smeared Kunqu Opera with the youth version of Peony Pavilion, people didn't know it was already on the kettle; When An Yiru used poetry to fantasize about the elegant life in ancient China, people didn't know that the water had boiled; When Yu Dan used the language like Chicken Soup for the Soul to molest Confucius, people had already been cooked unconsciously. Among all kinds of grave diggers, besides smelling the stench of dead bodies, how can we get a little fragrance of traditional culture? If this is also a cultural genetic modification, then it is equivalent to transforming human genes into mice. The walls of Beijing may be rebuilt after being torn down, but once people's last awe of traditional culture disappears, will the day of national subjugation and world subjugation be far behind?

this is by no means alarmist. In modern democratic society, many imperfect phenomena often occur in culture. Those who have made great efforts and are full of knowledge will become poor, while those who are the shallowest authors can get great wealth by selling their works at low prices. Of course, in the democratic era, this phenomenon is normal. Although scholars have no money, the pleasure of learning itself is enough to compensate for everything; If there is a standard of social life, people like Yu Dan will be rich, but they have no social status. Because the mainstream voice will tell the world that they are rich but not worthy of respect. However, this time, unscrupulous media people joined the ranks of people like Yu Dan, and the standard of social life was challenged as never before. Think about it. A doctor of film and television like Yu Dan, whose knowledge of ancient Chinese can't even reach the level of junior high school education, can win social honor just by talking. Who will care about the forces that guide our souls upward? Who is willing to engage in those arduous scientific and cultural studies that are really beneficial to the Chinese nation?

China's traditional culture is the most powerful weapon to unite the spirit of the Chinese nation, and it is also an important ideological resource for the world to move towards great harmony in the future. However, any attempt to understand traditional culture by eating fast food is absurd. There is no knowledge in the world that can be mastered without reading, thinking and practice. We will never oppose the popularization of humanistic theory, but popularization is by no means equal to vulgarity and kitsch. For example, Classic Talk by Mr. Zhu Ziqing, Xiao Za of Tang Poetry by Mr. Liu Yisheng, Xiao Za of Song Poetry and Bai Hua of Tang Poetry by Mr. Shi Zhecun are truly popular. The fundamental difference between popularity and vulgarity and kitsch is that popularity tells correct knowledge in an easy-to-understand way, while vulgarity and kitsch spread wrong and even harmful ideas according to the acceptance of ordinary ignorant people. Those who vulgarize and kitsch the humanistic theory are either because of ulterior motives or because of extreme ignorance. Yu Dan is the latter. When unscrupulous media people boast that Yu Dan's books have sold 2.5 million copies, they may forget that the circulation of sex CDs in Matsue Ohkubo is far more than that.

For the sake of the fate of China culture, we should no longer be silent to unscrupulous media people. As the saying goes: "It's tolerable to dance in court, but it's intolerable!" We hereby appeal to all media people with conscience to give correct guidance to public opinion. We also hope that Lecture Room should immediately dismiss Yu Dan and publicly apologize to the people of the whole country. Only in this way can China people rebuild our spiritual homeland, China culture can regain its glory in the new century, and our life can be more harmonious.

Don't make jokes about using the toilet as the living room again!

In fact, when the reporter interviewed Yu Dan before, she was rational and generous in dealing with such questions, and expressed her feelings with "the world is the only one, not the one" in Zhuangzi. The reporter got in touch with Yu Dan by SMS yesterday.

Regarding the statement that he was asked to leave the lecture room, Yu Dan said: "Now there are more people who need classes in China culture than those who need classes." The reporter learned that Dr. Xu Jinru, who initiated this time, has always regarded himself as a cultural conservative. To this, Yu Dan replied, "Everyone has his own interests, and everyone does things differently, just be happy." "Everyone can do things for China culture in their own way, and they are welcome to do the same."

In addition, Yu Dan responded to the protest of readers at the signing ceremony: "Everyone has his own choice. Some people like to eat French food, but there are also many people in McDonald's and KFC. "
