Chapter 1 "The Matter of Writing" Part 1 Answering Yourself Questions

The first part to answer their own questions (1) 1. Why do people write? The shortest answer is: in order not to commit suicide.Why do you have to farm? Why do you have to work for food? In order not to starve to death or freeze to death.Well, writing is about not killing yourself.What makes a human being is that there is one more flaw, besides living, one has to know what kind of energy one needs to live.Farming, working, and eating are to provide material guarantees for living. If you don’t have them, you will starve to death and freeze to death; writing is to find reliable reasons for living. If you can’t find them, you will inevitably commit suicide or you might as well commit suicide.

There are many lines that separate humans from animals, but they seem less and less clear because of their complexity.For example, "thinking and language", some scientists say that "humans may not be the only animals that can think and speak", while others insist that it is unique to humans.If I look at it from the common point of view of a non-scholar, there is a very obvious and simple line of distinction here: whether I will commit suicide (whether I will or not).Only human beings commit suicide in this world.Humans are the only ones who ask why they are alive.Humans are the only ones who have enough food and clothing and are in good health and suddenly find that there is no reason to continue like this, so they come up with thousands of tricks such as jumping off the building, lying on the rails, taking a lot of sleeping pills, and so on.In the end, only humans can write.

What about the "suicide" of whales going ashore collectively? I don't think this is suicide in the true sense. I guess it must be equivalent to falling into a latrine after being drunk. Real suicide is clearly seeking death, but I don't think whales are.If one day scientists prove that whales really commit suicide, then I suggest hurrying down to the sea to buy their books. I think all the types that can commit suicide are those that can write. Apart from superficial reasons, writing is to find one to ten thousand spiritual reasons for existence, so that life is not only a biological process, but also a spiritual process of fulfillment, exuberance, happiness and calmness.If survival is the instinct of all creatures including humans, then humans already have an additional instinct than other creatures, which is not only to live but also to understand it. Alright.That's why people commit suicide, that's why people write, and that's why people write in order not to commit suicide.This truth is so simple, so simple that it is easy to forget.

2. There are many great writers who committed suicide in history. What happened? Suicide awareness Does it lead to the act of writing or vice versa? Let me talk about the latter question first.At least the "Cultural Revolution" provided a proof: Suicides still occurred in places and periods where free writing was allowed, but there were more suicides in places and periods where free writing was not allowed. However, the majority of suicides during the "Cultural Revolution" were not because they were not allowed to write? But most of the people who were deprived of the right to write did not commit suicide? I think it is like this: the act of writing does not necessarily have to be done with pen and paper. People can find reasons for survival in the stomach.A person who can’t do this doesn’t need anyone to deprive him of his ability to write. The reason he copied from others in the past is suddenly lost, and he can’t find another reason for himself. What is he doing if he doesn’t commit suicide? Being deprived of paper A person who can write with a pen is different. How can he deprive him of writing in his stomach? The previous reasons can be wiped out, but he gradually sees new reasons, and believes that it is not time to die.For example, an honest worker who thinks that I have done nothing wrong is not afraid of ghosts calling me, so what if you beat me up? A person lives an honest life! ——This is writing, and the reason he finds is honesty, regardless of whether this reason is enough later.An old cadre thought that the dark clouds can't cover the sun, and things will be clear sooner or later. In the end, let's see who is the loyal minister and who is the traitor-this is his work.People with lofty ideals have seen the difficulty of human progress. If you don’t walk through the fascist alley, you can’t get to Minzhu Avenue and Liberty Square. It’s better to fight alive.Philosophers discovered the futility of Sisyphus, and found that this is existence, and found that the meaning of human beings can only be obtained in this existence, and the joy of human beings can only be embodied in this futility.Regardless of whose reasons are better, it is only said that the process of finding various reasons for the peace of the soul is the act of writing, and it is not necessary to use pen and paper.

That being the case, why are there more suicides in places and periods where free writing is not allowed? There seem to be three reasons: First, ideological tyranny is like contagious dementia, which can make many, many people unable to write freely They don't even know why they want to write freely. They believe that the only reason for survival is the one found by the tyrant.The second is that it is like an autoimmune disease. A free soul wants to resist tyranny, but the angry antibody kills itself; either explicitly protesting with death, or not explicitly letting the instinct of life commit suicide to protest .Thirdly, it is like the degeneration caused by infertility and inbreeding, shilling the ideas of a few advanced elements to prevent them from spreading and infertile, and then encouraging the inheritance of inferior species.

What is reassuring is that the achievements of human evolution over hundreds of thousands of years will not be destroyed overnight. Autocracy can cause momentary dullness and confusion, but as long as the glory of being able to commit suicide is still there, it will not retreat into monkeys, and die silently and vocally If there are too many protests, it is tantamount to calling for freedom and is doomed to lead to a new search for reasons for life.Freelance writing started hiding in many quilts and then flooded into the square, ushering in a brand new creation.This creation must be of all kinds, which will shock the old and the young.

By the way, think of people who can use pen and paper but never write freely. They can find nothing but good situations.They don't commit suicide, not because they found a reason, but because they don't need a reason, and they can sing for whatever reason they want, just like a parrot. Let’s talk about the previous question—why do so many great writers commit suicide? Let’s look at it another way: you are free to find a reason for your existence, and society also gives you this freedom.At this time, the difficulties no longer stem from social problems, but from the difficulty of human problems.Such as death and disability, such as love and incomplete communication between people, such as the desire for freedom and the limitation of human ability, such as the earth will eventually be destroyed. Endless contradictions are produced. Is this kind of life too absurd? If a world of bliss and a communist society can really appear, will there be no pain at that time? Doesn’t the absence of pain mean that there is no contradiction? Isn’t it a lie? The pain of failing in the college entrance examination of modern people And the pain of the primitive man not being able to get a berry, who can you say who is more important? If the pain is eternal, then whoever has provoked us must be treated like this? People live for joy, not for suffering, no Is it? If so, etc., it is probably the problem faced by those great writers who committed suicide. They did not find a reason to live in this predicament, or they believed that there was no reason to live in such absurd way.They killed themselves.Definitely a sad thing (maybe they should have held on a little longer).But it is also an encouraging thing—first of all, the human characteristics are so strong and obvious in them, and they are so brave to set up a striking boundary between man and animal.Secondly, as long as the question is asked (sometimes the price of death is paid just for asking the question, just like many diseases need to be discovered by death), sooner or later there will be an answer. Humans point the way, or at least issue warnings.It would not be a shame if Magellan was buried at the bottom of the sea.Who would despise Newton's ignorance of the theory of relativity? It would be an honor for those who searched for a new continent for the human spirit to die because of their solitary struggle and despair.The enemies they faced were too powerful to end a war with an atomic bomb; the problems they faced were too severe and difficult, and even today humans are still confused about them.Fortunately, there are these thinkers who are not afraid of death, not afraid of being killed, not afraid of being tortured to death by hard pursuit, and not even afraid of being framed as weirdos or lunatics by their numb peers.I often feel that they are the real destiny, God sent them here because of pity on us, they (like Lu Xun) love and hate so much, if there is no other way, they will spill their own blood day by day, and ask everyone with innocent eyes One person: Did you see it?

That's how I see their deaths.Although we hope they hold on a little longer and don't rush to die.But we can't hope that human beings will not pay the price of death on the way to progress. At this time, it can also be said that the act of writing led to suicidal consciousness.In fact, it is like the two poles of yin and yang that make all things move. Human beings cannot stop in the magnetic field of dissatisfaction and pursuit, walking from an ape to a more human realm. The word "reactionary" is wonderful. Whoever does not allow people to pursue and thus dissatisfy is a reactionary.

There is no advocacy of suicide here, and I think that is clear.Long-lived Tolstoy is greater than Mayakovsky who committed suicide.As for those who commit suicide because they cannot satisfy some mediocre selfish desires, although they are different from animals, they are inferior to animals. If everyone does this, human beings will not only have no hope of progress, but will have the prospect of extinction. 3. Some people say that writing is for fun. Part 1: Answer Yourself Questions (2) There are probably two situations. One is that he lived a relatively smooth life and took writing as a game so that his colorful life was more worth living.There is nothing wrong with that, anything that makes people happy is good and should be.The question is, if real life is already fun enough, why should he supplement it with writing? If his writing only describes real life, which is already fun enough, what extra fun can he get from writing? Obviously, He also has a certain kind of dream that needs to be realized by writing, and he is also looking for a more exciting reason for survival.Seeing this search as fun is actually more profound than treating it as a burden (we will talk about this later).So, is this still writing in order not to commit suicide? Just think about what would happen if his rights to the game were revoked.For those who are eager for fun, monotonous and boring days are also a murder weapon.What's more, since a person realizes "fun", even if he is possessed, there is no end to the level of "fun" step by step? So we have to think about what is the most fun, and we can't help thinking about how hard we are playing. What if you finally don’t know? Then it’s not for fun.Only by being unaware of the "fun" species can we always play well, such as a pampered dog or a monkey in a circus.Therefore, when people are weak, they will envy them. There is no need to argue who is the most brilliant flower on this planet, but it is a basic fact that people are not dogs. At most, God apologizes for this, but the truth must be borne by innocent people.See how man can find joyful security in the midst of his ordeal's predicament.

Another situation is: he seeks reasons for existence but finally sees the impasse of intelligence—you can’t fully understand contradictions, so you can’t eradicate disasters and pains; Man is mortal, and for mortal man (and this universe, which must perish), all purposes are empty.He was angry and scared.If he dies just like that, he will have nothing to say, and that may not be an effective destination.If he wasn't dead, he had to calm down.Challenging the impossible is a fool's behavior. He doesn't want to be a fool. Waiting to die in depression is also a fool's behavior. He thinks being a fool is not fun. He tried to cheer up and shifted his focus from the purpose to the process. Only the process is In fact, he thought, why not dance and sing on this mortal road? Thinking this way, the worries and fears disappear, and he regards the continuous pain as a hurdle race, and the continuous resolution of conflicts as an endless game.No matter what you do, isn’t it better to think it’s fun than to lament it as pain? Now he no longer panics, he understands God’s good intentions: If there is no distance, how can people walk? (Aren’t they all paralyzed like Shi Tiesheng? But there is also a distance in the heart, and the gentleman mentioned just now has the opportunity to escape from prison. Moreover, life is mainly the journey of the heart.) He took over the mountains and abyss bestowed by God, "riding things to travel the mind ", play it all the way, play with ecstasy, unrestrained creativity, more than inspiration.Is this the Dionysian spirit that Nietzsche said? He believed that life can only gain meaning by resorting to aesthetics.It seems that Nietzsche also understands the mechanism of Zen. Zen says that people are "born artists" and "creative artists of life".When human beings hold torches, sing and dance on this planet to their heart's content, stepping forward, and calmly thinking that this is walking on the road to death, just as Nietzsche said, they are not only creators and appreciators of art, but also themselves is a work of art.They both respect and fear the boundless road, and feel sad and happy about their own weakness and unyielding (just like Santiago in the movie). They saw their calm dancing posture on the majestic sky, so they were moved With enlightenment, they can hear the call of beauty on a blade of grass and a grain of sand, and they can also see the aura of beauty in sorrow and pain. They have found the reason for living, and have reliable joy like Camus' Sisyphus , this joy is self-improvement, the self-admiration of self-improvement.They don't talk like I do, they just say very simply: Oh, what fun.

So what about death? I don't know about death. I have never died.I don't know if it's fun or not.I was going to play with it at the end, but luckily it won't run away.I only know that if there is no urging and reminder of death, we will live wearily, lose interest and appetite, and life will lose its novelty like eight model plays that will be sung forever.God is a smart kindergarten aunt who lets generations of children play the same game and never lets the same child play the game forever. He understands that the charm of art lies in novelty.Thank you for being thoughtful of us.This game is called "Life". When you get old and tired, you don't feel good about eating, and you don't get excited about marrying a wife. You can go to Wangchuan and become a child full of novelty about the world again. God cooperates to reenact this tragic drama.We may well regard the birth of others as our rebirth.We have to admit that we don't know what death is (the dead don't tell us, the living are talking nonsense), so we wisely pay attention to the process of life, play it, and play it well in time.Even if you are crucified for some magnificent ideal, you are also willing. You have realized the pride and magnificence of life. This is my understanding of "fun". 4. A poet who does not want to be a master is not a good poet? For a moment I thought it was reasonable, and for a moment I thought it was nonsense. When a person writes novels, it doesn't matter what he writes, as long as it can be published, he will write, as long as he writes to the extent that he can publish, he will be extremely happy.He wrote a 40,000-word novel, and the editor said that if you cut it down to 15,000, we would publish it. He was so open-minded that he also handed over the right to cut it to the editor. Twenty-five thousand is fine too.As for him, he has figured out the degree of publication, and has already copied several novels that can be edited and cut. ——At this time, and only at this time, I think that sentence makes sense. The rest of the time I think that statement is bullshit.It's a cliché of "a soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier", and the cliché is innocent, but marshals and poets are two very different things (like politics and art).What the Marshal is facing is an interpersonal war. He relies on his superior intelligence, but also has the self-confidence and even arrogance of a "generation of genius". Outward conquest, and this conquest is limited to the submission of another group of people.A soldier modeled on such a marshal is, of course, a most useful soldier.What about the poet? To emphasize, it is better to say that the genius of the poet comes out of despair (like all people, he once looked for a paradise of happiness from the outside world, but "there is no such thing as a thousand sails", so the poet has the necessity of existence), he faces What is more is the labyrinth set by God. He guessed the riddle of the Sphinx by introspection after repeated failures in the outward battle, so that people can be saved in the predicament.He asks every day, what is a human being? Where does a human being go? Because he was so confused that he started writing.He is just a lost person who is unwilling to die, he is just a tramp who "goes up to the poor and falls to the underworld" looking for a home for his soul. Part 1: Answer Yourself Questions (3) Does he still have the mind to think about being a master? Besides, what is a master? Can he rescue us to heaven? Can he give us a world without suffering and doubt? Can he command fate like Han Xin's soldiers? What else can he write? He can’t. He’s still the same as us. How can he be considered a master? But how can there be a new situation in a hopeless situation? What’s creation without a new situation? He can only see deeper difficulties forever. Talent can always create more wonderfully than others; he didn't have time to become a master, and the evil waves kept roaring in his mind, so he finally turned to the power of aesthetics to realize life in art.But there are indeed masters, and whoever creates more wonderful is the master.One day people will say that he is a master, and he will argue that I am not. This is by no means a humility in the human world. This is still a confusion in the heavenly world. He has seen more human difficulties than he can solve. Confused and blinded by the inadequacy of his own creation, he does not see the Master.When some masters believe that they are masters, it is the self-confidence and self-motivation in the great loneliness, and more often they are desperately breaking through, singing "We are the world, we are children" (no Sing We Are Masters).You may be able to become a master or you may not be, it is better to go your own way and ignore the master.There are very few seats for Grandmasters, and fighting for the seat in groups may be the road to the destruction of Grandmasters.The master is presented naturally, like a shooting star, if you think about it, it is almost nonsense.Besides, how can it be legal? Follow the path of the previous masters? The result is often plagiarism or imitation.Or break through the path of the previous master? But now who knows that it must be the road to the master? The real master is an explorer who is erratic. He likes to see the forgotten mountains on the top What's the matter, he set off in the dark without reporters following him, and at dawn, on the mountain, there is a 99% possibility that there was an extra unknown corpse.There is only a one percent chance of showing the footprints of a group of masters.He may also be an unfortunate drowning man, dying alone in the raging waves, 99% of the time he will be buried in the belly of a fish, and there is no one for his funeral. mainland.Do you still want to be? Still want to be! Then it is better to change that sentence to: A poet who does not want to go to hell is not a good poet.Even so, you have to turn your interest from "good poet" to "go to hell", otherwise your joy is not guaranteed, because you may not be able to write good poetry if you go to hell. The sorrow of the Chinese literary world often lies in the marshal's interpersonal conquest, the writer's sense of crisis stays at the social level, and he is too little aware of the plight of people. The philosophy of "inner saints and outer kings" only takes "regulating the family to govern the country and the world" as its own responsibility; art serving politics must be just a class struggle; The awakening of the physical world and the revolution of the economy, but pure material and economics cannot make life more magnificent.This is clearly not enough.This is like seeing the trees but not the forest, seeing people but not seeing all mankind, seeing people but not seeing people's souls, the result is that suffering only inspires mutual hatred and crusade, optimism only comes from the surrender of the enemy and the support of everyone, and the pursuit is only The longing for material things and marshals never asks how the soul howls in the dark night, never knows how the spirit loses its way under the sun, never sees that human beings are the same army, they march tragically and besieged on the vast land, never think about this What kind of brilliance should a human-inhabited planet shine in the desolate universe.It is a sin for a marshal to be like this, and it is a crime for a poet to be like this. Isn't writing to find a more beautiful reason for human existence? There is no meaning to belittle the marshal here. A marshal is a marshal, otherwise he is not a marshal.And we have seen that the marshal walked on the battlefield where there were thousands of dead bodies after the Great War, his expression was as silent as the sky, and his gait seemed to move with the stars. Unable to be intoxicated by his majesty, he is like a woodcutter who sees the satyr. At this time, the marshal has entered the realm of a poet, and at this time he himself has become a poem.But when a poet enters the realm of marshal, I always feel that it is a terrible thing, a terrible and ridiculous thing. 5. What are the types of literature? In my opinion, there are three kinds of literature: pure literature, serious literature and popular literature. Pure literature is facing the dilemma of humanism.For example, meditation on death, meditation on life, such as the eternal gap between human desires and the ability to realize desires, such as the universe will eventually be destroyed, so what is the meaning of human struggle, etc., these are all inherent The question of future does not depend on the similarities and differences of social systems.Therefore, it transcends systems and classes, and is exploring a path that belongs to all mankind.When Johnson ran 9.83 seconds, when the space shuttle Challenger exploded, when the drought hit Africa, when the one-legged Canadian went all over the world to raise money for cancer research, when a baby was born When we die with an old man, whether we are cheering or suffering or moving or contemplating, we will inevitably forget about class and system. All creatures called human beings saw hell and turned to heaven together.Without such a purely literary level, people will become narrow-minded and eventually be lost and see no way out.There is no end to the exploration at this level, and it is afraid that some people will not see its social effect for a while and kill it. Of course, it is impossible for people to ignore society, politics, and class, and serious literature focuses on this aspect.For example, poverty and luxury and corruption, autocracy and democracy and progress, law and hypocrisy and conscience, etc., these are indeed closely related to social systems and so on.Literature is here to cry out for justice and promote social progress, which is of course very necessary, and its necessity is very obvious. Popular literature is mainly for people's entertainment needs, and people cannot live without entertainment.It also provides people with the knowledge that human curiosity needs to be satisfied. But these three kinds of literature often have me in you and him in me, so it is difficult to draw a clear line.One year, my friends took me to Hainan Island for a trip. The boat passed the mouth of the Pearl River, and found it difficult to draw a clear line between the river and the sea, but the boat continued on, and you finally knew that this was the sea and no longer the river.Therefore, these three kinds of literature can be distinguished in the end, and if they are distinguished, my own opinion is based on the above-mentioned criteria.From the point of view that literary creation is to find a more reliable reason for human existence and to achieve a more magnificent life, these three kinds of literature can certainly be distinguished from each other, but their reasons for existence are equally sufficient, because lack of other One and the other two are not acceptable. Literature is a whole, just as life is a symphony and existence is a structure. So, should every work pursue both refined and popular tastes? Let’s not say whether it should be, but first ask whether it is possible.In fact, it is impossible! Works that appeal to both the refined and the popular are a rare phenomenon, and the most embarrassing thing is that even for this rare phenomenon, those who enjoy the vulgar appreciate the vulgar, and those who know the elegance appreciate the elegance.The same book actually produced two books, one vulgar and the other elegant, due to different readers.That being the case, why do you have to bundle the refined and the vulgar in a work? Both the refined and the vulgar are appreciated not by the book but by the reader. If a reader can appreciate both the refined and the vulgar, he can read Kafka and Liang Yusheng, or finish it all at once.Elegance is necessary, so is vulgarity, and sometimes it is necessary to blend elegance and vulgarity, and there is no reason to insist on uniformity.It must be said that the best works are works that combine elegance and vulgarity, and then bind all the books in the world together.It would be nonsense to say too much about this matter. 6. Is the realistic writing method the strongest vitality? I think realism must refer to a specific writing method (or method), not to say that "originating from reality and reflecting reality" is realism. Otherwise, wouldn't all works be realistic works? Because any work All must involve the reality of life in twists and turns, and any writer obtains inspiration and passion for creation from real life.As long as you savor it carefully, you will understand that whether it is Kafka or Borges, or science fiction or historical novels, it is impossible not to "originate from reality and reflect reality"①.Even when it comes to history, there is only real history, because past events cannot be reproduced exactly, and people can only understand and evaluate history according to the needs of reality and the existing level of understanding.So realism obviously only refers to a specific writing method. Part 1: Answer Yourself Questions (4) One of the most prominent features of this writing method is that it treats form and content separately, and thinks that content is content first, and form only comes second, and it favors harmony between content and form at most (but this is still the result of separate treatment).In short, the most critical point - it believes that the content is contained in the form, although it should be properly contained.It is reminiscent of a container, which can hold any liquid, as long as it is well protected, the container will of course always be usable.Realism is a container in which all the stories can be told to all of us, the stories are constantly happening, it will always have something to hold, even though there are short jars and tall bottles and goblets, it is still all for It can be used for wine, oil and water, and can be reused after use. As long as the liquid is fresh, it is not plagiarism.This is the reason why the realistic writing method has a long life. However, some modern genres characterized by "form is content" seem to be short-lived. One school after another changes rapidly from generation to generation. Some forms end up being used only once or several times. Anyone who dares to use them again will plagiarize It is suspected that people will recognize at a glance which fist you are selling, so it is sad that there is no glory of creation.This sometimes makes the modernists very sad and angry.In fact, it is not necessary to think about it.Form is content, form is not a container, it is rather a sculpture, it is solid but dead, it cannot hold wine, water, or stories, it cannot hold anything, it has no other use except itself Kepai, its form is its content. Wouldn’t it be plagiarizing its content if you use its form? So generally it does not tell stories, and storytelling is not about stories but about telling them.I think "Li Zicheng" can be told in another way, and countless stories can be told in this way.But you can't change the form of "Last Year in Marienbad". If you want to change it, you have to wait until "Next Year in Marienbad", and the stories you can tell in this form are very, very limited.Since the school of "form is content", it is necessary to continue to innovate in form, otherwise the content will also become obsolete.Just as the faction that puts the content first must also update the content from time to time. This seems to be nothing, these are just two paths and there is nothing to dispute.Can you say who has more vitality than whom? You must compare the form of "form is the container" with the form of "form is the content".We should compare the content of the former with the form of the latter, and it becomes clear that both of them need to be constantly updated and created, and both of them have great works that have been passed down through the ages. Writing this reminds me of another question.I always think that the crime of "breaking away from the spirit of the times" cannot be added to any art genre, because art is the search that begins when the spirit is lost, and it is the creation that faces the unknown reality, and no one can do it for it Create a "spirit of the times" that must be followed.It is looking for it and creating it is art, and it is part of the spirit of the times in which era it is. 7. Where do meaningful forms come from? Significant form, of course, does not refer to the form of "form is the container", but of course the form of "form is the content".This content is not as clear as the content contained in the container, and it cannot be clarified by deriving various logics. It is super-intelligent, but you can feel its extremely deep and broad connotation, and you will become acquainted with it. There is a corresponding deep and wide moving, but you still can't analyze it clearly.Everyone has the experience of feeling something but failing to analyze it clearly, but this time is different. This time it is not "failure to analyze it clearly", but the inability of human intelligence to analyze it clearly.It's even like this: the more you analyze and reason, the further you get away from it, and you simply can't really feel it.Here is the blind spot of the intellect, here is the domain of understanding.If you want to get close to it and really feel it, you have to worship under the door of understanding. (For example: what does it mean to be dead? No one can prove it. The living can’t provide sufficient evidence, and the dead are determined not to tell us. How can we analyze this and how to analyze it clearly? I said that the soul still exists after death , how do you refute me? You say that if you die, you will have nothing. I admit that I have nothing to do with you. Intellect is in a desperate situation here, so I have to turn to comprehension, and feel the meaning of different levels and degrees of death in quiet comprehension. And act on our existence.) So this kind of thing is called "meaning" to distinguish those clear contents contained in the container. Meaning, meaning can not be expressed in words.Meaning does not depend on the direct statement of words, but on the form of language.Language form does not only refer to the choice of vocabulary and the construction of sentences, but the structure of the whole text is an important form of language.So what matters is not the story but the telling.Therefore, a real chess player does not pay much attention to winning or losing, but admires the beauty of the chess shape. The latter moves the chess player more profoundly than the former.So the song is more important than the lyrics, and more big music does not need words, it is purely a form, but you can't say it has no content, it doesn't tell you any specific truth, but the meaning you feel from it is even more Broad and deep.Therefore, looking at Picasso's paintings in albums and looking at his original works in art galleries will give you a very different feeling, and the size is also an important factor in its form.When you look at the sea in the photo, you say oh, it’s so beautiful, but you will be so shocked that you are speechless when you are really on the sea.So language can become music, it can become shape, it uses words but it does not add words, it is just that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, it moves you meaningfully in the form of the whole, and you change its form, even destroy its meaning.Of course, language has its insurmountable limitations.There is no such thing as limitless. All forms come from the form in which people get along with the outside world.What kind of form you get along with the world, what kind of art form you will acquire or create.You get along with the world in the form contained in the world, it is me and me, it just contains me, you probably only believe that "the form is the container", and you just blindly tell the objective stories you hear and see , without any awareness of the meaning of your subjective connection with the story.When you feel that man and the world are integrated, that man and nature are one, that existence is the joint participation of subject and object, you will see that "form is content", there are no isolated things, and content comes from related Structure, due to the inseparability of subject and object, if we look at Hitler in another structure, he may not only be an executioner, but also a lost lamb.You can’t tell what content and how much content this structure contains, but if you create a form that is isomorphic to this, you will have everything. It’s not clear if you have everything, but it’s meaningful. Feel free to move and tremble as you go, imagining couplet. There are various "significant forms", and they are created, I guess, not because of luck like throwing dice, but also because of different ways in which people get along with the world.You only get along with the world on a social level. If you were to adapt it into a TV series, of course you would change the ending of Jia Baoyu to beggars on the street.You live with the world as a member of the human army, and you can probably understand why the last battlefield is like a desert, and why the steeple of the church depends on the sky.You participate in the graceful dance of existence in the form of a point in the grand structure of the universe, and you will be moved and grateful for the birth of a young deer, the vitality of a wild grass, the cry of a she-wolf, and the wind blowing the desert and snow falling to the wilderness. The long river, the sun, the moon, the stars move, and the lights are thousands of houses. You calmly face the joys and sorrows of life and death, knowing that it is all about dancing, and you act without losing your will. Like the "green party" that has emerged, you uphold the equal rights of all things.让精神之花于中更美地开放。所以我想,有意味的形式不是像玩七巧板那样玩出来的,它决定于创作者对世界的态度,就是说你与世界处于什么样的形式之中,就是说你把自己放在一个什么样的位置上。 人与世界相处的形式是无穷多的,就像一个小圆由一个大圆包含着,大圆又由更大圆包含着,以至无穷。我们不理解的东西太多了,我们的悟性永无止境。我们不会因为前人的艺术创造已然灿烂辉煌而无所作为,无穷的未知将赐予我们无穷的创造机会。感恩吧,唯此我们才不寂寞。 八、美是主观的。
