What are the mistakes in Yu Dan's The Analects?

Yu Dan made eight mistakes in his understanding of The Analects.

Yu Dan defines his works as follows: "I am not a' research', but an' experience'. The so-called peach, plum, spring breeze and a glass of wine, the rivers and lakes have been raining for ten years. This feeling of life can be a spring breeze of peaches and plums, or it can be a night rain in the rivers and lakes. " Most of them are like the hands of naive girls who recite ancient idioms in the composition of the examination room. Literally, they are beautiful and catchy, but the meanings of each layer are quite different. She got a lot of knowledge from various channels, including Taoism, Buddhist scriptures, the Bible and stories of successful western people, but Confucianism was the least (she claimed to have read the Analects of Confucius under the guidance of her father who studied Chinese studies at the age of four, which was strange). In this way, people are made clear by their own vagueness, and as a result, all confused and silly people think they have made it clear. This is the first mistake.

Yu Dan's formula for understanding the Analects of Confucius is: modern problems+fragments of the Analects of Confucius+fables+popular truth. What is said and written is well known to the public, but it is really difficult to motivate the public to sacrifice Confucius and the Analects! The color of the book will be better if the part belonging to Confucius is deleted. For Yi Zhongtian's evaluation that "Yudan is a good wine with a slightly higher degree", Mr. Yi's taste buds are made of rubber skin, which is not as good as inferior cocktails. The combination of Chinese and Western soil shows that the bartender's dishes are antique and foreign, which is quite suspicious. At best, Yu Dan's The Analects of Confucius is more like a pot of uncooked chicken soup for the soul. The bloodshot chicken nuggets are different from other ingredients and soups, and they don't blend together at all. This is the second mistake.

Yu Dan Mei Mei keeps saying that "there are 3,000 Confucius disciples, including 72 saints", which makes people suspect that she has never studied the situation of Confucius disciples at all. It should be noted that the statement of "seventy-two sages" is the same as that of "seventy-two changes of Sun and Monkey" and "thirty-six changes of Pig and Eight Rings", and it is only the caliber of later generations, especially folk literature. In fact, there is no established list of Confucius disciples in Chinese studies. This is the third mistake.

Yu Dan said: "The real cultural classics are all things that can be extremely profound and infinitely simple. Its profundity is its spiritual connotation and simplicity is its superficial form. " In fact, the classic things are not necessarily simple, and the contents contained in The Analects cannot be summarized by "extremely profound" or "infinitely simple". Yu Dan simply summed up the essence of Confucius' thought as "telling everyone how to live a happy life that we need in our hearts". It is appropriate to evaluate the series of books of Osho, a famous Indian monk who sold well in previous years, but it is too distorted to say Confucius. This is the fourth mistake.

Yu Dan claimed: "I study communication. There is a principle in communication, that is, you should always keep it so simple, even stupid, and easy to spread." The premise of retransmission is simplicity and stupidity. "Have fun! On the one hand, my sister said that she respected Confucius' thoughts, on the other hand, she made Confucius and The Analects simple and stupid, which was the fifth mistake.

It is ridiculous that Yu Dan used Zhao Pu, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, to prove that The Analects of Confucius is a great work. Zhao Pu is not a scholar. Anyone who has seen the history of the Song Dynasty knows that whenever Zhao Pu deals with problems, he often puts on airs with The Analects. In fact, those ideas are all planned in advance. Even if the well-read Jade Sister doesn't know about it, she shouldn't cheat the people of China in the 2nd/Kloc-0th century under the guise of an illiterate politician a thousand years ago. This is the sixth mistake. In this regard, the discerning person only shakes his head and is helpless.

Yu Dan talked about the enthusiasm of TV viewers and readers to write letters to themselves. The objects listed are: college students who are about to be released from prison and reeducation through labor, widowed old ladies in their later years, farmers, boiler workers, …

"These people haven't read the Analects of Confucius. You can't discuss with him academically, but he is glad to benefit from a TV program. Isn't this a good thing? " Look, these people read the least and are the most gullible. Yu Dan just gave these people a spiritual massage. The result is that what Yu Dan said is 20 miles away from the real Confucius thought. Through these audiences, their understanding has reached more than 200 miles away from the real Confucius! This is the seventh mistake.

In all fairness, it is not impossible to talk about a culture that does not change its taste on TV. Its premise is: be honest and try to read the book thoroughly, and then be humorous and interesting in expression. After watching Yu Dan on TV several times and buying her books, I think she is a boring person, but she always insists on humor. The result is that the degree of humor is very shallow, but she has lost the true thoughts that the ancients should have used. This is the eighth mistake.

Lecture Room has become the best platform for China pseudo-scholars to become famous. Its positive significance lies in that CCTV lost money on the talent show Dream of China, and this time it recovered its cost on Lecture Room.

Yu Dan's popularity is determined by CCTV's dominance in the contemporary media, that is, a piece of stinky tofu with 50 cents can blow you to the point where you will die unsatisfied if you don't taste it yourself in this life. Borrowing Yi Zhong's kind name for Dan, it should be said that Yu Dan's popularity does not show how high the level of this "young man" is, nor does it show how low the level of this "young man" is. What really matters is the position and influence of CCTV as a powerful media in China society.

My friend said to me: Seeing that Yu Dan talks about the Analects of Confucius is simply the taste of a female companion. I said this is ridiculous. My sister Yu Dan is a master with a doctorate. She can earn hundreds of thousands of royalties by chatting with CCTV people for seven days. How can an ordinary chat girl have great skills!
