Reflections on Guo Moruo's debate on editing and publishing

Big girls and little girls often drag two long braids on their heads, and some are about to drag them over their knees. These two long braids sometimes fall on the left and right sides of the chest, sometimes in tandem.

Braids often quarrel. But braid is another language, and its voice is very nice.

According to people who know the language of braids, braids are divided into two factions.

One group of braids said: we are simply useless. The longer it takes, it's like two dead snakes.

The braid of the other school is firmly opposed: joke! Aren't we beautiful? Thanks to the girls, they often play with us a pair of red butterflies, white butterflies or butterflies of other colors. And we have learned the advanced experience of the Soviet Union!

-want you to be kidding! Girls in the Soviet Union stopped pigtails long ago.

Uzbek girls wear a lot of long braids, which is an exception. Generally speaking, braids are dirty clothes. It takes time to wash and wear them, and it takes a long time to do the work. Where is the beauty? To put it mildly, it's like two long tassels dragged by the temples of Beijing opera!

-That's right! When you say like a long tassel, it shows that we are the beauty of a national form. Do you object? Are you a nihilist of national culture?

-Don't button your hat. You know, it is very useful to cut off our hair. We can make fertilizers, medicinal materials, textile materials, stage costumes, and …-you are a short-sighted pragmatist! Poor artistic concept.

You know, girls love beauty. If we are not beautiful, why do girls drag us?

-That's inertia! It is said that all men in China had long braids more than 30 years ago, although only one. Later, the Revolution of 1911 crushed them. At that time, men also thought pulling braids looked good, and some people cried when they cut braids. Today, I hope that a "Revolution of 1911" will hit a woman and she will be dismissed. It is not a pity at all.

-You are simply a left-leaning naive patient!

-You have committed right-wing conservatism, you don't know.

The argument between the two factions is constantly going on at any time and place on the girl with long braids.

It is said that there is no argument on the head without dragging a braid; If the braid is shorter, there will be fewer quarrels. There is a kind of quail head, and its hair is cut as short as quail. Europeans call it a "young woman's head". There is no argument on such a head.

Another is to keep the hair long and summarize it into a brush handle at the back of the head.

There is no dispute on this point.

The debate about braids seems to be hard to stop. The longer the two braids drag on, the longer the debate about braids will drag on, just like our most popular eight-part essay at present.
