Chapter 28 28 o'clock wind

What is time wind?The ancient proverb such as "a high bun in the city is one foot taller outside the city" is the simplest explanation.This kind of fashion has many characteristics. First, no matter what the reason is, or the reason is unknown, some gradually, some even quite quickly, in the eyes of ordinary people, they become beautiful and good. It carries a high degree of glory, so it is also an ordinary person, so it is absolutely necessary to flock to it.Second, often it may not be necessary? For example, the high bun in ancient times and the high heels today, it is more convenient to change it to not high, but it is not easy to resist because it becomes fashionable, at least for those under the age of forty.It is said here that it is not necessary, and those who are blown by the wind may disagree, because he or they will think that since it has glory, it is necessary.Then add a little explanation, the so-called necessity here refers to those without which life (including society) cannot be maintained, such as the eating and drinking men and women called by the ancients, which must not change with time; Heels that do not belong to this category will change over time, so they are not necessary.Third, it may not necessarily be good, such as going through the back door can also become a trend.Four, because it is time, even if it can be quite long at this time, or even very long, it will always become a thing of the past due to the passing of time, such as the high bun.Fifth, because it is a wind, it is not necessary, not necessarily good, there will always be some people who praise it as above the average person and derogate it as stubborn, they will not flock to it, and even feel disgusted.

It is not necessary, not necessarily good, and will be despised by a few people. It is one side, and it is not important in terms of influence.The other side is extremely important, it is very powerful, at least for ordinary people, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to go against the wind when they are blown.Take the example of a woman who talks about the splendid culture of the motherland but does not want to touch her bound feet. This is the most typical fashion, and you can see how powerful it is.Before talking about big phenomena, it seems that we should first consider related theories.Probably what Hegel said, everything that is already is what should be.What should be is a certain amount of value added to necessity.Or is it limited to women's feet, where all kinds of tricks are played, starting from high heels, embroidery, and spices on the outside, to processing inside the body to make them thinner, is it really so auspicious?I don't know how sex psychologists like Ellis will understand it. As for us ordinary people, it's best to be myopic and only look at performance without asking value.Taking a step back, let’s say that it may be more or less related to value, and this gain is always in exchange for a big loss.Specifically talking about the processing of the body, from large to small, wide and flat to sharp, the loss is that you can't stand firmly, you can't walk fast, and you always sacrifice too much.But the power of the wind is so strong, because both men and women think that women are beautiful when they are delicate, and their feet are thin and delicate, so women who love beauty are pursuing this aspect very early.First of all, small modifications, such as Zhao Nuzheng Ji and other beauties who show off their smiles "迷利宵", see "Historical Records? Huozhi Biography", Lizhan is a pointed shoe, thinner.In the Tang Dynasty, it was said that the characters who "mounted the horse and entered the palace gate in Pingming" wore small boots, which must be small and exquisite.Small and exquisite, whether the body is processed, if added, to what extent, I don't know.Later in the Northern Song Dynasty, it can be seen that it was processed, as evidenced by the images of geisha discovered in recent years, with short feet and pointed heads.It is presumed that in the Southern Song Dynasty, this trend took a turn for the worse, and the small processing became large processing. The iron evidence is Wang Shifu's. Cui Yingying's embroidered shoes are "half disassembled" (three inches), which is the image of a beauty at that time. The feet are already small to the limit. Two generations, just the same gourd.From this, it can be seen that from the Northern Song Dynasty onwards, it has become fashionable to process women's feet to make them thinner.Then see how powerful it is.Just a few examples.Let me talk about individual ones first: men, such as Pu Songling, an enlightened figure we regard as national treasures, wrote "Weaving into" in "Strange Stories from a Liaozhai Studio", and "three inches" are insufficient, and they are exaggerated as "thin as fingers"; women In the early Qing Dynasty, Manchu customs were changed to Han customs, and foot binding was banned. Some young women committed suicide because of this, see "Donghualu".Besides, generally speaking, no matter men, women, old or young, all think that women's feet should be like this, and if they don't, they are not women.This is Shifeng, because it is too powerful and often unreasonable, or unreasonable, so it is simply terrible.

Shifeng, from the perspective of the cause, has something to do.This behavior is due to the majority of people. For example, the women mentioned above are expensive and delicate, so they work hard on the thinness of the feet. From the emperor to the common people, almost everyone thinks this way.Some came from a few people, such as the thin waist of the king of Chu, and the worship of Confucianism by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.It doesn't matter much.What matters is that once it becomes the fashion, it has a stronger coercive force than the law, and what is worse is that almost no one thinks to reason with it.It is also because of its unreasonableness that its impact on the society, naturally including every individual in it, is particularly far-reaching.This influence may be good; but as the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. The wind, irrational control, and the possibility of blowing to irrationality are always greater.If it is unfortunate that it blows toward the unreasonable, and it has an irresistible force, planning for social peace and moving forward, the problem will be serious.

Therefore, to manage society and seek peace, we must pay attention to the situation of the wind.Obviously, before doing it, one must be able to distinguish between good and bad.The problem here is more complex.Because one, people’s hearts are different, each according to its face, for example, if you regard money plus material enjoyment as glory, if you disagree, the person who regards it as glory may ignore it; In terms of the way of life, it is difficult to convince people with reason.Another two, Shifeng may have a lot of background, such as the king of Chu, Emperor Wu of Han, Wang Xie, etc., if he says that a certain dress is beautiful and a certain creed is the truth, you no longer have the right to argue.You can also add three, when the wind is like the water after a breach, it is all flowing downstream, who has the strength or leisure to think about it, is it right to go downstream!It is difficult to distinguish between good and bad; however, to manage the society, to seek peace and progress, it is necessary to distinguish.As a last resort, I had no choice but to still turn to humanism, which is to use common sense or popular words.We want anything worthy of the title of "civilization"; otherwise, we don't want it.To give a general example, between liking science and art and liking money and material enjoyment, we will always admit that the former is higher than the latter when measured calmly and rationally.After that, it will be easier to distinguish between being used to being fair and doing things according to the law and going through the back door and offering bribes and accepting bribes.

Knowing is followed by action.How?It is difficult to say specifically, because we have to discuss the facts as they are.Just talk about principles.It is a metaphor that bad weather is a disease, and those who are proficient in health preservation must work hard on the positive side, that is, use various methods to exercise and nourish, so as not to get sick.Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, the principle is the same, and we must use all methods, such as education, publicity, rewards, etc., so that the vast majority of people are willing to follow the right path, that is, the upward path, and form a good trend.In doing so, there is another secret recipe for success, which is to use the sense of honor as the panacea. For example, if you can make most people "feel" that going to a restaurant banquet, the more frugal the more honorable, then there is no need for repeated orders, and it is strictly forbidden to eat and drink up.Not getting sick is the result of using the guiding method to succeed.But people are alive, each has his own ideas, each has his own favorites, or take health preservation as a metaphor, no matter how cautious you are, it is impossible to never get sick after all.That is to say, there must still be many chances that the wind will turn bad.What if, unfortunately, it turns bad, and there is a trend of taking wealth and pleasure as glory, and taking bribes as a matter of course, what should we do?Naturally, I can only talk about a principle, that is, to deal with an illness, on the one hand, you must be determined to treat it, and on the other hand, you must try your best to treat it.

It may not be difficult to make up your mind, but it is very difficult to achieve results, because the key is to get to the bottom of the heart.Therefore, in order to cure the root cause, we must also work hard on changing people's hearts.The so-called "changing people's hearts" still has to be considered fundamentally, but it is nothing more than improving the education of the group.This has already been said before, the improvement of education includes two aspects of knowledge and morality.If the two aspects can be raised very high, to put it like a dream, everyone in the group will become Gu Tinglin or Qiu Jin, then the world can really be ruled by hanging clothes.
