The Book of Songs Tang Cailing: Three Attitudes to Rumors

The Book of Songs Tang Cailing: Three Attitudes to Rumors

Picking ling, picking ling, is the top of Chu Yang. What people say if they don't believe it. Give up, give up, if there is nothing! What's the point of human words?

Under the sun, it's hard. What people say has nothing to do with it. Give up, give up, if there is nothing! What's the point of human words?

Picking fennel, East of Chu Yang. What people say if there is no way. Give up, give up, if there is nothing! What's the point of human words?

The Book of Songs tang style Cailing consists of three sections, each with 3 1 word. This is a poem that will be used repeatedly to the extreme. Between sections, the structure is exactly the same, and only four words in each section have changed. If the repetition at the beginning of each section is removed and the words "picking ling, picking ling", "picking bitter medicine" and "picking bitter medicine" are ignored, the three sections of the whole poem will hardly change.

However, it is the change of several key words between plates that clearly reveals three rational attitudes towards rumors for future generations.

The second half of the three paragraphs are exactly the same-"give up, give up, there is nothing wrong!" What do people say? "Xi" is an auxiliary word in classical Chinese and a consonant of "Yan Zhi". These four poems are as simple as words, meaning, discard those rumors and don't take them seriously. If so, what can those rumors do for us?

Rumors stop with wise men, and as long as we don't take them seriously, they won't cause anything.

What can rumors do? The busybodies who have read the poem think that three different plants are actually three metaphors: one is "Ling" in Picking Ling, and Shen Kuo wrote in "Meng Qian Bi Tan" that "this is yellow medicine". Its taste is extremely bitter, which is called great bitterness. "The poet takes the meaning of" pity ",vaguely suggesting that when the rumor started, the victims were pitiful. The second is "picking bitterness", which means edible bitter vegetables, and taking the meaning of "bitterness" vaguely implies the suffering of the owner when the rumor started. The third is Picking Fennel. Fennel is turnip, also called turnip, which is a vegetable such as kohlrabi. A faint metaphor, rumors, suffering like a big head. Of course, these are just the fantasies of a nosy person, and they can't be true.

As for the position changes of "the top of the first day", "the bottom of the first day" and "the east of the first day", one is to match the living habits of Ling, Ku and Dysosma, and reflect the rationality of imagination itself; The second is rhyme, which reflects the rhythmic beauty of poetry itself; Third, it gives people the impression that rumors are everywhere.

The three rational attitudes that should be held in the face of rumors are probably the greatest contribution of this poem.

First, there is no letter.

This "unbelief" is equivalent to the "unbelief rumor" we said today. In the face of unfounded and unverified words, the best attitude is "don't believe in rumors." Start with "I" and be isolated from "I". The word "for words" in "no one believes what people say" is an excuse for "falsehood", which means that the best attitude of people with ulterior motives to create rumors is not to believe it.

Second, there is nothing.

This "nothing" is equivalent to the "no rumors" we said today. In the face of unfounded and unverified words, apart from "not believing in rumors", the most prudent way is to "not make rumors". The biggest feature of rumors is "hearsay", and it is difficult to find the source. Because rumors are "lies" from the beginning, the biggest feature of "lies" is that people who fabricate "lies" usually cover up their identity perfectly, so that people can't find them. For hearsay rumors, the best way to fulfill personal social responsibility is to "don't make rumors" and don't let yourself inadvertently become the promoter of rumors. "What people say has nothing to do with themselves", not only don't become a rumor monger, but also don't become a rumor disseminator, inadvertently adding fuel to the fire for the rumor monger.

Third, there is no way.

The "no way" to "follow" is to follow the crowd, to those who make "false statements" and to those who believe in rumors.

There is a saying in China that "the law does not blame the public". The implication is that as long as everyone does that, there will be no big problem following the crowd, even if they break the law, they are understandable and forgivable. Those who make "false words" take advantage of this psychology in the crowd and let rumors spread everywhere. That's what the so-called "three people make a tiger" means.

In the face of rumors, "no way" does not follow the crowd, which is not only the consciousness of the wise, but also the integrity of the sage.

Take medicine, take medicine, take medicine, medicine is born at the top of Shouyang. Boring little man-made lies, I advise you not to believe them. It's wise to get rid of, get rid of, and disagree. What's the use of a boring little artificial rumor that people don't believe?

Picking bitter herbs, picking bitter herbs, coming down from shouyangshan. Boring little man-made lies, don't be confused and don't feel bad. Give up, give up, don't think that reason is in vain. Boring little man-made lies, what's the harm of ignoring them?

Pick cymbals, pick cymbals to Shouyang Cave. Boring little man-made lies, I advise you not to follow blindly. Give up, give up, wait for the rain and listen to the wind. Boring little man-made lies, no one believes them, but they are not empty.
