Chapter 5 Part Four "Tasteless"

We assume that we should be optimistic. As the times progress and people's cultural level improves, more and more people will have this important and "invisible" sixth sense organ. The points are clearer.I hope so. However, what does the "light" and "taste" that Zhang Ailing refers to?Art?Thought?feelings?philosophy?Or are there other aspects?The author's temperament, smell?His spiritual realm?His literary grace, talent and charm?His "spirituality" of "communication"? Can you tell?If you can't tell, let it be confused forever, or entangled endlessly? ...

Countless questions came up. Eileen Chang just puts forward her opinions, she doesn't care about explaining the reasons—this is what I mean when I say she only speaks "half the story". I believe that she is not lacking in eloquence in explaining.She thought it was unnecessary to talk about it at all.The wise speak for themselves, but the foolish speak for nothing.Or is she free and easy by nature, she doesn't like to chatter, and it is better to speak less than to speak more? Didn't the ancients also say: "Taste is beyond sour and salty." The so-called "flavor outside the taste" and "sound outside the string", I am afraid that the sages and philosophers have used the "sixth sense" to appreciate it to a high level.

The author himself put forward a "one taste".Reader Eileen Chang put forward another "tasteless in every possible way".The words are the same, but the purpose is different. Some people think that Ms. Zhang just said that the plots and stories in the last forty chapters no longer interest her. Is there any profound meaning at all? If so, why did she imitate (or make up for) six chapters of the book, and how can it be better than Mr. Gao's wonderful essay "Switching Bags"? Isn't the "package drop plan" very "interesting", and aren't "burning the manuscript" and "crying spirit" more "shocking the soul" and "jerking people to tears"?How did it end up in an extremely aggrieved evaluation of "dull" and "tasteless"?

If this is the case, Zhang Ailing is not worth talking about, and this book is even more not worth laughing at.Alas. Zhang Ailing is extraordinary, surpassing others, because she is only ten years old, and she can't bear fakes that are both dull and tasteless.The difference is so huge that even thousands of words are limited to places where there are traces to follow and examples to cite; light and taste are not the essence of aesthetics and culture that can be compared with specific objects. Always new".This is the case with the eighty chapters of the true text.Never tire of reading it, once you read it, you will have new feelings, new discoveries, and new brilliance.

There is a "quality" here.Forty chapters after the pseudo-continuation, this "quality" is gone, like a pearl with light and rhyme, very cute.Suddenly it was replaced with dead fish eyes, pretending to be pearls strung on a silk ribbon.Zhang Ailing's seeing is not the same thing, dull and tasteless, the difference is very big.But you insist that there are no two kinds of qualities here, its "light" and its "taste" are exactly the same, and some professors even claim that dead fish eyes are real pearls, which are precious... Zhang Ailing didn't mention any of these.No "dispute" intended.

This is her greatness. "Ask me why I live in Bishan? Smile and don't answer, and let your mind be at ease." Perhaps, in her opinion, that smile is also a waste and unnecessary. The poem says: It is not a dispute of words, nor is it a matter of textual research. The psychic was originally born by Nu Wa, so if you don't understand it, don't compare it.
