Chapter 13 Can't understand two

Whenever people criticize an article, those who look like teachers of Chinese language probably focus on "familiarity" or "impossibility". "Middle School Student" [2] magazine even set up a hospital for this.However, it is actually not easy to "understand" Chinese writing. A master such as Ma Qian of the Taishi Company [3], if you look at his articles, no matter from any standpoint of writing, grammar, and rhetoric, you can find "Impossible" places. But I won't talk about these now; what I want to say is that in the general sentence of "unreasonable", it can be divided into several reasons.Roughly speaking, it is: there are authors who have not yet mastered it, and there are also authors who could have mastered it, but because of various relationships, they dare not or do not want to master it.

For example, on October 31 last year, the "Da Evening News" [4] recorded "Jiangdu Qing Fu Trend", under the ingenious title "The Villagers Make Waves for the Second Time", described Chen Youliang's death: "Chen Youliang saw that among the official military and police, there was Liu Jinfa, who was holding a gun hand in hand. He wanted to snatch Liu's pistol. When the quilt was ejected, he drank the bullet and died. The police team also fired a row of empty guns, and the villagers began to retreat..." There is no need to add the word "official" to "military police", let alone here.The weirdest thing is that the bullets are written as if they are living things and will fly out of the chamber by themselves.But because of this, I am so tired that the word "Yi" below does not make sense.It is only appropriate to change the above to "when killed".If you want to keep the above, change the last two sentences to "The police team also fired with empty guns, and the villagers began to retreat." This is the only way to say that it has nothing to do with the military and police. ——Although the arts and sciences are always a bit strange.

Nowadays, such strange articles often appear in journals.But in fact, it's not that the author doesn't understand, it's probably because he was afraid of "not being able to understand", so he "did not dare to understand" first.The first-class smart people don’t talk about these things, and they become “art for art’s sake”[5]; the second-class smart people try to use various methods to whitewash this nonsense, and they become “nationalist literature”[6]. All of them belong to the category of "unwilling to understand", that is, "not willing to understand".
