Chapter 74 christmas gift

Christmas and the Absurd Kong Qingdong China has always been known as the "land of etiquette", and the most particular about festivals.There are national holidays, family sacrifices, lunar calendar festivals, solar calendar festivals, heaven and earth monarchs and teachers, party, government, military and civilian studies, three aunts, five men and six women, eight prostitutes, nine scholars and ten beggars, three hundred and sixty days a year, every three chasing five It is the festival.After your own festival, rejoice in other people's festivals.As the saying goes, "many people don't blame people for courtesy", of course, it also means "being polite to many people is not annoying". It is always a good thing to celebrate festivals, and the more the better, it is the general psychology of people.Back then, Li Chuangwang's highest ideal was "Celebrating the New Year every day"!What's more, the Chinese are broad-minded and can melt barbarians into barbarians. We accept many devils' tricks and we don't discriminate against them.For example, the Yulan Festival and the Buddha's Day are not treated the same as China's own festivals?In recent years, under the nourishment of the spring wind and dew of reform and opening up, the Chinese people have been vigorous and vigorous, and have carried forward the traditional virtues of loving festivals, and introduced a complete set of festivals from East, West, Europe, South and North America in one go, such as Christmas, Halloween, Valentine’s Day, April Fool’s Day, Father’s Day, etc. Mother's Day, Mother's Day,... There are too many festivals, and it is inevitable that there will be a relationship between relatives and estrangements, and they cannot take care of them, so they have to wrong their children first.On the wall calendar I bought this year, there are only a handful of Chinese holidays marked, but there are more red days related to the old man Jesus than the twenty-four solar terms. I often need to research which day is Sunday and which It is Saturday.

Not only that, as soon as February 14th, my wife ordered me to voluntarily buy flowers for her, saying that this is the rule of Valentine's Day.I said that we are a legal couple, and the Ming media is marrying, why don't we be good people, and insist on being that stupid lover?As soon as April 1 came, I didn't dare to deal with people. I didn't watch any other programs except the news broadcast. Only the voice of the Party Central Committee was still credible.A student came to ask for leave, saying that his mother had died.I slapped the table and shouted: "Is this kind of joke okay? You can go wherever you want to play, honestly. How can you just curse your mother to die?" As a result, the students burst into tears, took out the telegram, and said that he Mom really died.I quickly apologized and said that I have been cheated 5 times in 4 hours since I woke up this morning: my wife set the alarm clock forward by 1 hour, my neighbor called me to pick up the package in the messenger room, and two policemen on the way fined me 5 yuan and then walked away. I ran, my colleague said that a relative came to me and turned out to be a beggar, and the student said that the classroom was closed for a day due to a power outage.So I wronged you, buy a ticket and go home.The student came back on the third day. It turned out that his mother was not dead. It was one of his wealthy classmates who "fooled" him. Of course, he was reimbursed for the travel expenses...

As soon as the end of the year comes, don't even think about safety in December.Receive several "Merry Christmas" cards almost every day.Originally, my family was really happy on December 25th, because the next day was my sister’s birthday—she was fortunate to be born on the same month, the same day, and different years as our great leader.But I really don't know why I should be happy on "Christmas" day.We can be regarded as people who have read the "Bible" thoroughly, and we can tell dozens of stories about the saints, and we also have a few "Amen" friends around us.However, on the way home from get off work, I saw the pine branches dragging behind the bicycles, the lights flickering in front of the hotels, and the "Christmas Bleeding" and "Christmas Sorrow" written all over the window. It's really a little "worried": what are they busy with?Do they know what is holy and what is Christmas, and do they know whether Christmas and absurdity are the same thing?

I am not against celebrating festivals, nor against celebrating foreign festivals.But I think the so-called "festival" is first of all a commemorative day, and its connotation should be spiritual.Holidays should be a kind of spiritual baptism, a review of the soul.In China, however, the essential meaning of festivals has mostly been dispelled, forgotten or distorted.Most holidays have become "food festivals".Eat zongzi at the Dragon Boat Festival in May, eat moon cakes on August 15th, give out a barrel of oil on National Day, and give out a bag of rice on Teacher’s Day...but few people think about Qu Yuan, Chang’e, the national movement and the people’s hearts. Think about the future of education.If it's just "eat a meal", I don't think it's okay. Chinese people have too deep a memory of hunger, and eating instead of courtesy is also a kind of national quintessence. Our traditional meeting language is "Have you eaten?" After all, eating is a A simple and down-to-earth way to celebrate the holidays.But the worst thing about Chinese people is that they are eating, but they don’t say it clearly. They insist on making a name for themselves, and pretending to be spiritual on the surface, and there are especially many red tapes. Nature.This is the "acting" that Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren pointed out profoundly!Acting is sometimes so realistic that I actually forget to eat, so even I am really moved, so the climax of Chinese festivals is always at the most solemn moment.This feature became even more obvious after the introduction of foreign festivals.

The biggest feature of foreign festivals is that the spirit of eating is not strong, so the natural place is convenient for performances.Foreign festivals must have spiritual content, send flowers, send greeting cards, at least tell a lie and make a rumor, so it looks extraordinarily elegant.What's more, it is a festival for foreigners.Therefore, those who celebrate the foreign festival have a feeling of "quasi-foreigner".The festival itself has nothing to do with his own emotional life, he just wants to perform a certain procedure to complete his identity transformation.The resurrection of Christ, the purity of love, and the humor of a gentleman are all out of his consideration.Lu Xun said long ago that everything from foreign countries will be changed beyond recognition when it comes to China.Now that Christmas is coming, the number of Christians in China has also increased, but there are more people who have no conscience and are not afraid of thunder.Valentine's Day is here, and the number of Chinese couples has also increased, but there are more ruthless and ruthless people.April Fool's Day is here, and there are more jokes in China, but there are more jokes that make you laugh.The Chinese have the ability to adapt everything into the most "postmodern" style of absurd drama.

Su Dongpo said: "The place where the chrysanthemums bloom is the Double Ninth Festival, and the cool weather and fine moon are the Mid-Autumn Festival." This kind of state is naturally beyond the dream of most Chinese people.The imported foreign festivals have been stripped of the essence of repentance and suffering.I hope that one day, the introduction of Islamic festivals will allow Chinese people to bathe and fast. For dozens of days, they are not allowed to eat meat or entertain themselves, and they are only allowed to eat a bowl of cold rice after sunset.I think Chinese people must love their festivals again at that time.In fact, our ancestors in ancient times celebrated festivals like this.In the vicissitudes of life, our festivals have been spread overseas and have evolved into foreign festivals. Today, when they are passed back, we have already "children meet each other and don't know each other".The attitude of the Chinese towards foreign festivals represents the attitude towards all foreign cultures: they only take their beautiful shells, buy bamboo baskets and discard pearls. As a result, we have always had to "start over" for more than a hundred years.Just like football in China, there are many stars, fans are everywhere, the theory of the game is high, and the news is hot, but the skills are too low, so they pretend to be A and B, play tricks, and deceive each other. The result is that they will never recover.The same goes for festivals. Traditional festivals have been overused, and now foreign festivals are being spoiled.I think that there are not many festivals, but if you can live one or two with sincerity, you are a person with pursuit and a nation with pursuit.Otherwise, on the day when Jesus comes and sees these dirty-hearted people "eating" his old man's teachings, his temper is quite different from Qu Yuan's, then our world may not even be able to maintain this absurdity .
