Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen

When commenting on the fake sequel, Zhang Ailing said again: "I am used to killing scenery." Killing scenery is not a new word, and it has been used for a long time; now what I want to talk about is that she used it in the sequel of "Red Mansion", so what should I say?Or mainly refers to what?Can you be more "specific"? The previous metaphors, burning the qin and boiling the crane, and drinking among the flowers, are all typical scenes of killing.Some people question: Flowers can be called landscapes; qin and cranes are things, what have they to do with landscapes?

This is just not understanding: the so-called "landscape" is poetry, the state of temperament of poetry.Vulgarity and vulgarity, recklessness and stupidity, ruthlessness and ugliness... all destroy the non-material and spiritual occasions, scenes and charms--the words and actions of high culture and upbringing all kill the scenery. Killing scenery is deplorable, regrettable, and sad. It is a high-level crystallization product of Chinese culture. It has the beauty of poetry everywhere, giving people a high degree of cultural aesthetic feeling and enjoyment. However, the pseudo-continuation killed all these precious and unusual "landscapes".

In the pseudo-continuation, everything has changed in form and form, and has changed in quality and taste.The language is tasteless, the appearance is disgusting, the behavior is obscene, and the heart is ugly.Everything comes, instead of poetry, instead of beauty.A person is just an empty name, without character, let alone soul. So, kill all the scenery. Questioner: According to the original book, isn't it "the dead and the dead are all scattered"?Doesn't that kill the scenery? In the world, human literature has a special aesthetic of tragedy, which is a consensus.Tragedy can be tragic and beautiful, or it can be sad and beautiful.But it has nothing to do with mediocrity, ugliness, and killing scenery are two different things.

Don't look for "reasons" or "excuses" to defend things that kill scenery, and seek escape. Eileen Chang said that the poetic environment of the original work, the great beauty of the original text, should not be damaged or destroyed by fools and bad people. "Fenghuaxueyue" looks elegant but is vulgarized by others, like "scenery" but degenerates into "cliché", killing it once is not a big deal.But it's not the usual cliché romance.Destroying her is a great crime, a cultural crime, and there is no amnesty here. The poem says: If the qin crane is already vulgar, there is no harm in killing it.

Don't compare clichés, how can you allow reckless killing. Women's words are like drama, and their meaning is very important.
