Its prototype idiom is "Zheng Ren Buy Shoes", taken from Han Feizi's "Outer Reserve Says Upper Left" - "Jing San" paragraph, and later quoted in "Say Three". The last sentence of the "Three Classics": If a husband is not in the affairs of the state and seeks the king first, he who takes the degree is also returned. This means that it is not suitable for the needs of the country's political affairs, but it is necessary to seek the way of the first king. And then there's the quote —

The original text is: Zheng people have those who place their feet, first take their own feet and sit on them, and go to the city and forget to do it. Having fulfilled it, it is said: "I have forgotten my perseverance, but I have taken it." "And on the contrary, the city will strike, so it will not be carried out." Man said, "Why not try it?" "Ning Xindu, no self-confidence also." ”

When the two parties and You Lei made this film, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee had been closed for nearly three months, and the Second Session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the National People's Congress was about to be held. But last year's meeting all said that we should emancipate our minds, seek truth from facts, and look forward in unity, and that the Quotations of Chairman Mao is still on sale, and that the old edition of The Selected Works of Mao Zedong is still selling—there is no "Against Bookism" and the fifth volume is also on sale.

The people of that era hated dogmatism, and even more hated the out-of-context taking of the Quotations. Hate to hate, but the "Cultural Revolution" you have participated in, the small book you bought, waving it and screaming long live you also did it. Can you be alone? At that time, you were learning every day. This is a satire on your own work, and the screenwriter changed "degree" to "book", criticism and irony.

"Once upon a time, there was a man who stayed at home and studied all day. You see, he works so hard. ”

"Hard work? I don't dare to be, I believe in books. It is better to eat three meals than to go a day without books. "Irony is clear to everyone." The ancients drilled wood for fire, and the firewood smoked and then came out of the fire..." The shoes were broken: it was gone. "How can this be good?" Are you putting out the fire? "Yes, there must be a fire extinguishing method in this book, and I will check it out!" Ah, this also needs to be learned now? It took a lot of effort to find it.

"Go to the fire: oranges are warm and cool, and you can go to the fire if you eat more." Hey, this is extinguishing the medical fire, not the real thing! Ate a bulge. "Wonderful, it does make sense." Count yourself lucky: the drool is gone.

Go to the bazaar and write "try on shoes" directly. The boss asked him how big the size he wanted, and he thought, "Size?" "You wore it yourself." Please lift your feet up, I'll see—" After reading it, the boss went to get the shoes, but he "took it back."

Got it. Shi'er: "Wu'er is seven years old and wears six inches of shoes." The feet follow the length of the person, step by step. "Then he came back and tried on shoes, and ten inches was just right." Right? The owner asked.

"Treasurer, you are extraordinary." He gave the boss money. "Operating for decades, buying tens of thousands of pairs of shoes. With my eyes, I know at a glance that you should wear..."

"Six inches." He said to the boss. "Ten inches." "No, give me six inches." You don't have to worry about it. "The boss had to find it for him. After trying on shoes, I couldn't wear them at all. He also sharpened: "Nonsense, my father told me since I was a child, is it still wrong?" You see, isn't it six inches? After the boss read this "degree", he smiled: "Seven years old and six inches!" ”

"You can wear it at the age of seven, and you can wear it the same way today." He was punctured. Worn out, his mouth was still sharp: "How can what is written in the book be violated?" He put his shoes on.

"Yes, but he just forgot that his feet are long with people, and people have long feet, so why do they still wear six-year-old shoes?" But we don't have to worry about it, he will go back to the book to find it. Otherwise, how could it be called a full letter? ”

How ironic it is. Is Chairman Mao right? Do you believe it all? Then he said that Liang Shuming is not a thing, Hu Feng is not a good bird, do you dare to say it now? Don't look at the film that is against originalism, and it is still outdated. O children lying in the pile of books, with the knowledge you learn from your textbooks and the empiricism of your parents, you can't deal with the big school of society!
