Is poetry and distance important, or is it down to earth?

There is no contradiction between keeping your feet on the ground and looking up at the starry sky. Rejecting diode thinking, if we only emphasize poetry and distance, it is utopianism that does not do practical things, and it will be empty. But if you just bury your head in the road, without lofty goals or distant places, people will live at a loss and easily get lost.

You know, it's not the mine at home or the economic foundation that determines the distance between poetry and the distance, but the spirit and the family style. Poetry and distance are only seen and understood by the education received from childhood, the roads traveled, the scenery seen, the books read and the people and things experienced.

if there are mines alone, you can't read poetry and you can't see the distance. Life is short, different ages have different melodies and themes. You know, most people will eventually fall into greasy middle age. At that time, there will be cars and houses in a chicken feather, but only poetry and distance are luxury. Finally, I wish all the afterwaves can enjoy the waves of youth. After leaving for half a lifetime, I still return as a teenager. Step on the earth and look up at the stars. You know, even though poetry and distance can't be full of food, it should never be a derogatory term to be ridiculed.

The irony of life is that, with our height and vision, all we can see is the vulgar contacts in the family background, which can solve the problems of study, work, school district and fame. We can't understand it without seeing the higher pattern and vision behind it. What we can see is really poetry and distance.

In The Story of a Wonderful Flower, Gao Xiaosong criticized the Tsinghua male god, which was the education he received since childhood, and his vision and pattern were taken for granted. It was by no means an artificial or eye-catching response, but actually an instinctive reaction, a concept he saw and recognized under the influence of family education since childhood.

It's not unimportant to find a job, but when the best students from the top universities in China go on one of the most watched talk shows in the country, all they ask is to find a job. Do you know what this means? This means that the vision of this "Tsinghua male god" is just like this, and the values of a group of pillars of the country he represents have been completely vulgarized.

In those days, after studying hard for decades in the imperial examination, the petty officer doctor, who made a name for himself in one fell swoop, shouted, "Make a heart for the world, make a life for the people, carry forward the past, learn from the past, and make peace for the world." This is really not a slogan. It is the home and the world in the minds of literati, and the feelings of home and country have always been a part of the family education of intellectuals. Throughout the ages, intellectuals in China have always been poor, and the so-called wealth is just a cloud floating in the last ten or twenty years.

However, this kind of lofty intellectuals in the bones has always existed, which has little to do with money. For five thousand years, scholars, no matter how poor and humble they were, first accepted the concepts of benevolence, righteousness and home country from the moment they picked up the first book. It doesn't mean that everyone should regard money as dirt and give up any selfish desires, but if one day, the lofty ideals of intellectuals are treated as jokes and the country and the world are treated as gossip, that will be the deep sorrow and despair of an era.

Indeed, some people will say that feelings are not something everyone wants to talk about, and it is more important for ordinary people to be down to earth. But in fact, if we follow this logic, it seems that we are dissatisfied with the solidification of the existing class, but in essence, we are accepting and encouraging the solidification of the class. If ordinary people only stick to making a living, just like the joke of the child who herded sheep, herding sheep to earn money and raise children and then continue herding sheep, even if they make a living and drive a luxury car, they can only become the kind of people with mines they once despised. The vulgar vision and pattern and vulgar values will only be passed down from generation to generation.
