"A military commander has no neck, and a beautiful woman has no shoulders" —— Reflections on the jargon of traditional sculpture

"A military commander has no neck and a beautiful woman has no shoulders", which is an industry saying of traditional sculpture in the past (commonly known as jargon).

? I saw that someone posted this old saying on Tik Tok, and attached a pretty good sculpture, similar to the sculptures of the Four Heavenly Kings and the dazzling King Kong, which looked really powerful. The main reason is that military commanders are mighty and majestic, so they seem to have no neck, while a beautiful woman, like Liu Fufeng, seems to have no shoulders because of her slender shoulders.

? However, it was reviled by some people, just like when the May 4th New Culture Cloud Movement rose, many people regarded those smelly rules of foreigners as the golden rule and a complete model. I thought it was too funny at that time, so I replied to the following one, which probably means that it does not meet western standards, that is, it does not meet world standards, so I can't have my own opinions.

? All the traditions of China, our writing, our writing, our art, our martial arts and our Chinese medicine are sprayed with those sprayers. At that time, including some painting masters we are familiar with now, such as Mr. Lin Fengmian, he did make great achievements, but strictly speaking, he was just neither Chinese nor western, neither fish nor fowl, nor did he have much significance, just a transition. I still remember that when Mr. Hu Shi was seriously ill, he went to see Chinese medicine when many western doctors could not cure him. It is said that he recovered quickly. Later, he said that my illness was flat and light, and I was fine in a fog. He still thinks Chinese medicine is useless, so some people talk nonsense.

? We can imagine here that during the epidemic period, compared with the western medicine control group, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine is better than that of western medicine 10 times or more. Some people say that I would rather die flatly than live in the fog. Is this really their heart? I hope this is what a western doctor said before he died, so that we can admire it. So I thought a lot. We brought western things because we were eager for quick success and instant benefit, but the effect was not very good.

? In the early days of liberation, we followed the Soviet Union completely, holding its smelly feet. At this time, we did what the Soviet Union told us to do, and even said that Stalin was a great linguist, and some of his words were regarded as the golden rule by us. Since it is a phonetic script and a Latin script, we are required to do the same, so at that time, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai put forward strict requirements, such as observing the law. It is also clearly stated that after a period of time, Chinese characters will be abolished and romanized.

? Needless to say, for example, our first-generation simplified characters and the infamous second-generation simplified characters are also the same. I remember that an executive order was issued at that time, and Zhou Enlai, the Prime Minister of the State Council, China, directly supervised this matter. At that time, 1 was granted 100 words. After the report came out, Zhou Enlai was furious, saying that it was a transition.

? I will write another article in a couple of days to analyze the infeasibility of Chinese pinyin from my 20 years of teaching experience and calligraphy. Here, just say it briefly. Do you know what will happen if Chinese characters are latinized? Because many words in Chinese are polysemous homophones, it will throw the world into chaos and make communication difficult. In fact, this clown-like behavior didn't last long, and everyone knows that after that, more than two months is completely impossible. For example, the development of the abduction character of the corpse becomes a bar in the middle, which completely loses its meaning and is not easy to remember.

? Let's take a look at the People's Daily at that time. This method was also adopted, and the teaching materials at that time were also used. This way is not as good as the so-called fake composition in Japan, and it is really the scum of written language. Learn from the bitter experience today, and we will send it out again. Let's have a look. This is a matter of public opinion.
