Blatantly foolish: Please Hangzhou Bus quickly remove such billboards!
Wen / Hu Yu
In the long history of China since ancient times and today for thousands of years, there are many excellent cultures, which are worth innovating, and the ancient is used for the present, which is conducive to promoting interpersonal and social harmony, and it is precisely based on this that the state proposes to revive excellent traditional culture, but this policy orientation has changed in the implementation process of management departments at all levels.
Recently, the network rumors that Hangzhou subway station has a public welfare propaganda billboard, the above is to promote the Analects, Analects is a relatively excellent ancient self-cultivation culture classics, worth learning a lot of places, such as similar to threesomes, there must be my teacher there are friends from afar, do not say hu, etc., but this book, but also not all absorbed, it has its own limitations, and some views, obviously is feudal.
For example, this "Analects" on the Hangzhou bus: the people can make it known, but they cannot make it known. This is obviously a feudal mess, and we in the public transportation department in Hangzhou are still carrying out propaganda and study, and this so-called "traditional literature" study is either lazy administration or foolishness.
After preliminary verification by the author, this screenshot was actually taken in January 2021 on a bus in Hangzhou, but recently it was rumored to be the Hangzhou Metro on the Internet, but although almost a year has passed, it is still worth reflecting and commenting on this kind of phenomenon.
Don't the relevant leaders and staff of the Hangzhou public transport department know the meaning of this "Analects"? To put it bluntly, a random Internet query, or find an explanatory version of the Analects, which means:
Confucius said, "For the common people, we can only make them do what we will, not why they should do it." ”
The relevant departments of the state require publicity and organization to learn excellent traditional culture, and there is nothing wrong with your implementation in accordance with the relevant policies, but whether you have to think through your own brain, which ancient books or contents are suitable for modern society, not a book from beginning to end, from beginning to end, from beginning to end, it is the "truth" that will not change for all generations. Any truth, or truth, is relative and developing, much less static.
This slogan of the Hangzhou public transport department is to remind everyone that the people should do it according to your "meaning", and there is no need to think about why they do it? The state does not have such a requirement, right? Because of his own ignorance, he misinterpreted a certain policy of the state, and even assumed that the Analects were correct from beginning to end? Take one out at will, you can fool the people? Because this "Analects" is a typical idea of foolishness. Citizens of modern society, everyone is equal, everyone enjoys the right to know, especially the relevant public policies of the state, why should we revive excellent traditional culture, which belong to excellent traditional culture, and how to revitalize the law. It is by no means a matter of casually finding a copy of the Analects, choosing a dozen of them, printing, hanging, and publicizing them, which is a relatively crude working method.
In his essay "Against Originalism" written in May 1930, the great man mentioned:
We say that the instructions of the leading organs at higher levels are correct, not only because they are derived from "leading organs at higher levels", but because their content is suited to the objective and subjective situation in the struggle and is necessary for the struggle. It is very wrong not to discuss and examine according to the actual situation and blindly implement it blindly, which is a formalistic attitude based solely on the concept of "superiors." The reason why the Party's tactical line always fails to penetrate deep into the masses is that this formalism is at work there. Blindly and seemingly carrying out the instructions of the superior without any objection is not really carrying out the instructions of the superior, it is the best way to oppose the instructions of the superior or to neglect the instructions of the superior. ("Against Originalism")
Hangzhou public transport department official, are you "completely and without objection to the instructions of the superior"? We don't know, but please carefully study this passage of the great man, use it as a mirror, look at yourself, and don't "hand a knife" to some ill-intentioned people because of your ignorance.
The reason why such a "oolong" appears on the publicity billboard of the Hangzhou public transportation department is nothing more than two points: First, it may be that when the front-line staff made such propaganda billboards, they did not understand their meaning, but the "Analects" were all correct. Second, it may also be a unified "plagiarism" of the propaganda language of other units and organs, without thinking, or thinking that there are such things in other places. Third, the relevant leaders of the Hangzhou Metro official dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty, did not fulfill the responsibility of strict review and control, in fact, even if the first one or two reasons are established, it is still because of the third point that the error is so "popular".
Today, the author will give the Hangzhou public transport system a free "Lesson in Chinese Studies", and ask it to remove this billboard as soon as possible, and conduct a screening of all kinds of propaganda slogans and slogans in the city's bus system, for those feudal scum that do not conform to the times and the modern social management and governance model, the information of the foolish people is quickly withdrawn, and do not smear the party's policies anymore!
Mr. Yang Bojun explained it in his Analects:
Confucius thought has the content of "loving the people", but this has a premise. He loves "obedient people", not "chaotic people". In this chapter, he put forward the view that "the people can be made to be informed, but not to be known", which shows his "foolish people" thinking, of course, the foolish people and the love of the people are not contradictory.
Another view was expressed that the sentence should be interpreted as follows: "The people may make it known; "That is, if the people approve, let them do as they are; if the people do not approve, they will give them a reason." Those who hold this view believe that this is Confucius's attempt to advocate simple democratic politics. However, most scholars believe that such a sentence break is not in line with the grammar of ancient Chinese; this understanding raises the level of Confucius's thinking and modernizes the ancients, which is also inconsistent with the thought of Confucius reflected in the analects.
This kind of explanation is obviously a bit far-fetched, and besides, on the billboard, it is not so broken, so it cannot be used as a shield.
Hangzhou public transport department, the above explanation please take a closer look, do not make such mistakes again.
