What does "nonsense" mean?

Analysis:

What do you mean by nonsense?

Now people generally understand it as vulgaria, but it's actually different.

One way of saying this is: Wulitou was originally a saying in Foshan, Guangdong Province, which means that a person's words and deeds are difficult to understand, have no center, have no clear purpose in language and behavior, are vulgar and random, and complain indiscriminately, but it is not unreasonable.

Another way of saying it is Shunde dialect, which is the most vicious sentence in swearing, meaning that a person can do nothing and is useless.

Wulitou culture should belong to a vein of post-modern culture. In Wulitou movies, we can read that there is no deep expression, no disorder, no isolation orthodoxy and so on.

Nonsense language or behavior has profound social connotation in essence, and directly touches the essence of things through its appearance of banter, ridicule and cynicism. If you meet most of the following conditions, then, in fact, you have the basic characteristics of nonsense in today's times:

I don't care about other people's opinions, commitment, age concept, sacrifice my hobbies for health, and don't care about the price of things I like. I especially like "chasing after the new", my fantasy can't stop, my mind jumps, I often say amazing things, I am used to sleeping naked when I think of anything, I never make a fuss, and I can't find anything out of thin air from time to time. You can't find mala Tang in summer and ice cream in winter, but it's not enough. E-mail is your best way to contact. You are too lazy to save money. You think night is better than day. You have a pet but no children. You like being free. You always keep an optimistic spirit, dare to despise authority and utility. ...

Anatomical nonsense

In my opinion, nonsense contains at least three meanings: exaggeration, irony and self-mockery.

The first is exaggeration. The expression of nonsense is particularly exaggerated. This kind of exaggeration exceeds the exaggeration required by film and television literature and art itself, making it impossible for viewers or readers to see many things at a glance, but they can't help but throw themselves into them. In Night of the Soul, Stephen Chow plays a madman who can release everyone with a paper hat, which is an exaggeration of the traditional concept; In King Kong, the life he led at first was extravagant, which was an exaggeration of his lifestyle. In A One-Stop Journey, A Shui tore off a female classmate's coat in public and was in great pain, which is an exaggeration of her emotional desire. Exaggeration gives people a vivid feeling and brings all kinds of things that can't or don't want to be expressed in normal life to the extreme.

The second is irony. Life is impermanent, and many pains and misfortunes cannot be resolved. Facing the darkness and filth of society, the greed and selfishness of human nature, the good looks of men, the impetuousness of women, the boredom of work and the troubles of making money, everything is the object of irony. In "Moonlight Box", a group of men led by Supreme Bao collectively pretended to be dead when fighting against the goblins, which is an irony of loyalty, because at the beginning, all his men appeared in a self-centered manner. In The Wedding of the Great Sage, he can't get rid of his love for a very annoying woman-Xia Zi, which is an irony of his promise, because he has promised Bai Jingjing to be her husband, and he will be someone else's 500 years later; In "The God of Food", Stephen Chow died unsatisfied for the proposal of a double-edged turkey to draw a heart, which is an irony to women-for a woman, no matter how loyal, responsible, intelligent and capable she is, she will always be just a skin in men's minds.

Finally, say self-mockery. In fact, self-mockery should be the sublimation of irony, not only a realm of film and television art, but also a realm of thought. When a person learns to laugh at himself, he is really mature. Throughout all Xing Chi's films, there is a strong color of self-mockery, among which king of comedy is the most important.

Distort yourself, exaggerate yourself, satirize yourself and make the audience laugh. This is not an ordinary performance, but an inner revelation and explanation. It's even harder to laugh at yourself properly and not give people the feeling of grandstanding. You must have a humble appearance, an ordinary appearance, vulgar manners, dull words, and even seemingly stupid behavior ... there is only one flash in you, and no one can replace it, and that is wisdom. You have given people happiness with your wisdom.

What is nonsense? With the popularity of Stephen Chow movies, the word Wulitou has become our daily language, but what Wulitou really means is not clear. Some people say it's funny, others say it's a Cantonese term, and some people simply say it's Stephen Chow-style humor. What is this? Now let me tell you something. We know that the units of monetary measurement used now are yuan (block), angle (gross) and minute. However, in the past, people used to divide by one centimeter. The so-called idiom is a thousand miles away, and centimeter is also a unit of length. People use it to represent monetary units less than (cents). Nothing is worthless, worthless, and money is also a way to measure value, even in modern society. Nonsense is that this kind of behavior is useless and worthless. Due to the change of Chinese usage, it is difficult for people in most parts of China to stop using this word except Guangdong.

Wulitou is itself a nonsense noun. What is Wulitou? It is not easy to have accurate notes, but they can often be understood by many people. If you barely make a text mark, it probably means there is no reason.

When it comes to nonsense, it is bound to be associated with Stephen Chow. A film and television artist created a film and television culture, which in turn affected the daily life of ordinary people. This is a special Hong Kong culture.

After more than a hundred years of British colonial rule and the constant storms of western culture, Hong Kong culture has an indelible colonial character, and it is also convenient for the integration of eastern and western cultures.

Please read Tayu Lo's Pearl of the Orient: "Let the sea breeze blow for 5,000 years/Every tear seems to express your dignity/Let the tide accompany me to bless you/Please don't forget my face that will never turn yellow ..." It has depth, implication and connotation. However, Tayu Lo is not from Hong Kong; Samuel Hui, a two-year-old singer who moved to Hong Kong from Guangzhou, also sang songs about Hong Kong, but the taste was very different: "Nine roast geese in Hong Kong are so delicious that they spit chicken pot/there are beautiful hotel rooms for rent by the fruit/ghosts refuse to talk about shopping/they pick a beautiful China clay pot/voice that GREAT GHOST is the most interesting show/call."

It can be said that with such a cultural foundation, there will be a hotbed for the birth of Wulitou, and only in places like Hong Kong will Wulitou culture be born. Speaking of Stephen Chow's performance, what usually comes to mind is his nonsense mantra: "Are you talking about the wild?" Seemingly serious, at the same time a face of disdain, facial expressions exaggerated, absolutely cynical.

Nonsense is like sticking two sharp patches on a pair of jeans, which is meaningful and interesting, and you will be silent inadvertently. Stephen Chow's nonsense has changed the heroic image of Qiong Yao and Chow Yun Fat, which used to flood the streets of Hong Kong, and has become an easy way for the general public in Hong Kong to laugh it off in hardship and confusion, which is the deep-seated reason for the rapid rise of nonsense culture.

1On the eve of the reunification in 1997, Hong Kong's stock market and property market reached the peak of the bubble, and Hong Kong and Britain only retreated after laying a big stall for a welfare society. To make an inappropriate analogy, this situation is like the British speculating Hong Kong stocks to sky-high prices, depending on how the receiver operates. After the Asian financial turmoil, Hong Kong's economic bubbles burst one by one without exception, and there were not a few people speculating in negative assets. Under this special background, Hong Kong people just want to relax their laughter and nerves after the brutal fighting. Therefore, the Wulitou culture represented by Stephen Chow has become a trend.

Just like the Red Sea era we experienced, words should be called the highest instructions first. Today's playful Hong Kong people must take the route of "A Chinese Odyssey" if they say "received" three times. "What do you want? If you want it, just say it. How do I know if you don't tell me? Although you look at me sincerely, you still have to tell me what you want. " "There was a sincere love before me, and I didn't cherish it. When I lost it, I regretted it The most painful thing in the world is this. ..... If God can give me another chance, I will say three words to that girl: I love you. If I have to add a deadline to this love, I hope it is ... ten thousand years! "

Laughter brings deep thought.
