The Shanghai Summer Festival ended successfully, and the Nanjing Summer Festival was finally called off.

Because the summer festival from Japan was held in the city of Nanjing (although the city had successfully held it many times before), it was held near the Holocaust Memorial. It was held unscrupulously and with terrible intentions.

It was only ten days since the July 7 Incident.

Angry.

It is only natural that many people have launched a wave of crusade online.

Because it hurts the feelings of the Chinese people, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

As we all know, the culture of worship and belief belongs to "ritual", which is the highest level of a country's culture and the embodiment of the origin of culture.

So when it comes to the genetic characteristics of Chinese civilization, the first thing that comes to mind is ancestor worship and ceremonial beliefs such as Huangling, and then Chinese characters.

Beliefs in etiquette come first, and Chinese characters come later. Because in the development process of a civilization, beliefs in etiquette come first, and characters are produced later.

Ritual is the beginning of culture.

Clothing is also a part of etiquette. Human beings invented clothes for etiquette, not to keep warm.

Is it this way?

This shows the status of sacrificial culture in a country’s culture.

This is why, you can learn Japanese, read Japanese comics and enjoy cherry blossoms, and no one will criticize you for being troublesome, but if you dare to wear a kimono and parade around in China, you will be scolded.

Ritual utensils and clothing have a very high status among cultural relics, higher than stationery, weapons and daily necessities.

Therefore, sacrificial culture is the most sensitive cultural core and the core of cultural aggression.

Nowadays, there are Chinese people wearing kimonos, attending summer festivals in a grand manner, and fully immersing themselves in Japanese festival culture. It is unacceptable.

Because the core has been touched! The essence has changed.

It’s no longer something that can be excused with just a few words of cultural exchange.

I have too underestimated the wisdom of our generation of "powerful people" and "high-level and high-level people".

It has touched the core. Is it not cultural invasion? Or is it just a painless cultural exchange?

Even more terrifying than cultural invasion: cultural identity!

Cultural aggression is someone else's initiative, the intention of aggression may not be achieved, and the effect is questionable.

The cultural identity is that you take the initiative to take off your clothes and don't refuse anyone who comes. If you still say "you want more" when you are done, it is purely "loyalty".

According to people who have experienced the Summer Festival in Shanghai, the Shanghai Summer Festival, which was successfully held, has the elegant charm of Eastern culture, is lively but not noisy, rich but not gaudy, has great connotation, and is full of style.

It's like returning to the summer in Tang poetry and Song lyrics.

Tsk tsk.

Listen.

How beautiful are her words? They are as beautiful as a string of beads.

I feel ashamed that her perception of beauty surpasses that of the poet: "It seems like I have returned to the summer in Tang poetry and Song lyrics."

This statement is indeed poetic and beautiful, which is true. However, this statement makes people feel unhappy, which is also true.

Anyway, I'm not in a good mood.

So I replied: "Are Japanese things so interesting?"

She replied: "I just think the summer festival is interesting. There are many oriental elements. Those things are just comfortable to watch and have a traditional beauty."

It's obviously a Japanese thing, but it's said to be "traditional beauty".

I didn't reply, but I thought about it.

Although this thought is not profound, it makes me more and more angry.

Why do you think?

Because of her reasons and mentality, I have actually met many people. During college, many people had this mentality, which I think is very typical.

Since it belongs to typical psychology, is it necessary to analyze and discuss it?

Of course there is.

First, let’s tell a vulgar story that everyone knows.

There was a man named Liu Che. His beloved woman, Mrs. Li, passed away. He missed the face of the deceased day and night, but it was difficult to see the beautiful woman again.

This is a sad story.

Therefore, this powerful man asked a wizard to summon the souls, hoping to see the deceased who had been with him for comfort.

The wizard borrowed Mrs. Li's clothes during her lifetime, found a woman whose appearance and voice were somewhat similar to the deceased, wore the deceased's clothes and ring, and applied the makeup commonly used by the deceased. Appeared at night.

Coincidentally, it was also a summer night. The lights in the palace were mottled, fireflies were like stars, and the night was clear like water.

Using the methods of the Nuo god wizard, the beauty who once passed away belatedly arrived, but her shadow was graceful.

A grown man named Liu Che saw it, and a feeling of déjà vu came to his heart. He felt sad and joyful, and he couldn't help but write a poem:

"That's right. I'm looking forward to it. Why is it so late?"

The grown man knew it was false, but he felt greatly comforted.

Alas, this is really a beautiful and sad story.

So, do grown men really like to pretend to be the "shadow" of the deceased?

of course not.

The grown man still likes Mrs. Li, Aiwu and "Shadow". He loves Mrs. Li, so he looks forward to the appearance of the shadow.

Even if the shadow is fake.

This is the "replacement psychology" in psychology.

Chinese traditional culture is like Mrs. Li herself.

Japanese culture is like "Mrs. Lee" summoned by wizards, that is, shadows and substitutes.

The grown man "likes" the substitute simply because the substitute is somewhat similar to Mrs. Li.

Let’s talk about the present moment.

These lost traditional cultures have long since become common oriental aesthetic elements and have been incorporated into the aesthetic genes of East Asian nations, rivaling Western aesthetics!

Japanese culture may only be superficial, but at a deeper level, it should be Eastern elements.

Arbitrarily denying some Chinese people's love for Japanese culture is actually too simplistic. The object of such denial may just be worth affirming because of its deep-seated appearance.

Before Hanfu became popular, I once asked a classmate why he wanted to buy Hanbok.

She replied: Because it looks like the Hanfu in costume dramas and it feels very beautiful.

Listening to her answers and analyzing her psychology, it's not as simple as just being cool.

What she likes may be the passing Hanfu. The problem is that Hanfu is rarely sold, and she dare not wear it when it is not popular.

Hanbok, like Hanfu, is inherited from Hanfu and is a branch of Hanfu.

Kimono is actually a branch of Hanfu. There are changes, but not much. The main shape remains the same.

Therefore, in the history of clothing culture, scholars have attributed both Hanbok and Kimono to the "East Asian Confucian Clothing Circle", which is tantamount to acknowledging that Hanbok and Kimono are actually branches of Hanfu.

But what can be done?

The best inheritors of Chinese classical culture are Japan and South Korea, not today's China.

You lost it yourself, or you were brutally destroyed by aliens. It was gone or broken.

So I became less confident.

Although they learned from you, there are differences, but after all, they are still there, still there, and still similar.

Not the person I once loved, but like the person I once loved. In other words, she is the daughter of the person I loved.

So, is it not surprising and excusable that there are some other kinds of "abnormal love"?

I believe that in the Japanese and Japanese cultural groups, the majority of people have this mentality, and the real people who love Japanese and lick dogs are not the mainstream.

Just like one netizen said: "What a joke, do I really like Japan? What I like is obviously the Tang Dynasty."

Let’s talk about the summer festival.

Why do many people who love China and hate Japan still go to the Summer Festival?

Still the same thing.

Because this summer festival originated from the ‘Xia She Festival’ among the four seasons of ancient Chinese society festivals!

If you look at it, summer festival and summer society festival, although there is one word difference, the objects of sacrifice are the same, they are all worshiping the gods of the society, and the rituals are similar.

There are so many things that Japan can learn from China.

Cherry blossoms, tea ceremony, calligraphy, architecture, laws and regulations, clothing, writing, music, festivals, etiquette, including the kendo they are proud of, who is not learning from ancient China?

It is simply a comprehensive study.
