Chapter 6 critics against 'tears'

Now there are more and more criticisms of literature and art, which is a good phenomenon; however, criticisms are becoming more and more strange, which is a bad phenomenon, and the more there are, the worse it will be. What I found very disapproving of was Mr. Hu Menghua's criticism of Mr. Wang Jingzhi's "The Wind of Hui", especially Mr. Hu's reply to Mr. Zhang Hongxi's letter [2]. First, Hu Jun was charged with the same crime as [3] because of the sentence in "Hui's Wind": "One step at a time, one look back at the person I like": this is to train Zhou Na [4].It is true that there are three words "I love you" at the beginning of the volume, but just because the three words are the same, it cannot be said that this book is the same as that book.For example, Hu Jun asked young people to repent, but he also clearly called it a "reformed book". If the meaning of this is coincidental, and Hu Jun's proposition is the same, I am really not so careless and bold.I think the nerves of the so-called Chinese moralists have been hypersensitive since ancient times. When they see the word "the person they like", they immediately think of it, and when they see the word "见", they immediately think about other things.However, the hearts of all young people are not necessarily so unclean; if they are so unclean, even if they "receive intimacy"[5], they will "glance" later, so that they will glance at the above-mentioned things, and then they will It is a "Book of Rites" [6], that is, it is equal to it, so why is it different from "The Wind of Hui"?

Second, Hu Jun said that because of the words "a monk regrets becoming a monk" in his poem, he said that he slandered the monks all over the world, and he shouted at Shakyamuni[7] Buddha: this is close to a religious man and he invokes the majority to intimidate, which is wrong. a critical attitude.In fact, it is not a strange thing for a monk to regret becoming a monk. If there is no monk in the world who regrets becoming a monk, it is a big strange thing.Don't there often be wine and meat monks in China, and monks who have returned to the vulgar?What is it other than "regret to become a monk"?If those are bad monks, then the one in the poem is one of the bad monks, so how can they slander all the monks in the world?This is just as Hu Jun said that a collection of poems is immoral, and it does not count as slandering poets all over the world.As for Sakyamuni, he is even more like a "horse horse" in the literary and art circles[8]. According to the teachings of his old man, writing poems violates the "precept of frivolous words"[9], no matter moral or immoral. Unavoidable some evil retribution, very terrible!

Third, Hu Jun said that Wang Jun's poems are not as good as those of Goethe and Shirley[10], I think he is right.But later he said, "When it comes to personality, Goethe married nineteen years in his life, and it is undeniable that he was criticized by the world. However, Goethe is immortal because Goethe repented after the age of fifty. Do we know that?" It's strange.Shirley, I don’t know, if Goethe is Goethe, then I dare to say a few words of injustice for him, that is, he did not “marry nineteen years in his life”, did not “be criticized by the world”, and did not “repent after fifty years old”. .And regarding what Mr. Hu said, "Since the popularity of 'ear food', the real personalities of Goethe and Shirley have been unknown to the people of the country, and the ignorant people have flowed away, and even quoted them in vain. It is sad and ridiculous!" Also please take some back.

I don’t know if Wang Jun has ever passed the age of 50. If he hasn’t, even if Hu Jun’s arguments are used to judge, it seems that he can still compose a poem of “Looking back at the person I like one step at a time”, because taking Goethe as an example, he still can’t write a poem. There is no time for "repentance". At the end, I would like to write a few more words about Hu Jun's "sorrowful young people, I have only incredible tears for them!" , I really don't understand "what does it mean".When criticizing literature and art, one must not judge right from wrong by the amount of tears.The literary and art circles can receive the tears of creators, but the tears of critics are stains.It is a pity that Hu Jun's tears were indeed shed at the wrong place and at the wrong time.After finishing the draft, I came across an article in "Qingguang" [11], saying that people who are close to us use Mr. and Mr. Jun, and there are differences of opinion between respect and underestimation.I am using Jun in this article, but the original intention was just to save one character, not any "Spring and Autumn" style of writing [12].Now that I declare it here, I have written a lot of words.November seventeenth.
