In recent years, the new words of night songs have soared, and with the emergence of hallyu and beauty, it has become the hottest vocabulary - face value! He seems to have become an important symbol of the emancipation of humanity, the elevation of feminism and the deepening of universality.
Is this true?
Here to send a little heresy to understand, and communicate with everyone.
Perhaps because people's society has improved, or perhaps because of the development of modern media hype leading role, these years, "beauty" has become more and more fashionable, in people's lives, consumption, gender relations, consciousness and value judgments, the identity is getting higher and higher, more and more with the times. As a result, "beauty" should become popular, and "beauty" has "value", which is the symbol of "beauty" marketization and quantification. It unconsciously attacks the three views and subverts the "traditional concept".
This "beauty" mainly refers to the beauty of human form and clothing, the latter to advocate the luxury of showing off the main melody, foreign famous brands and local luxury gold combination; the latter is mainly inclined to women, more and more "exposed", and the traditional spiritual beauty has nothing to do with. "Rich and handsome" and "white rich and beautiful" are idols and standards.
The so-called "world trend, mighty, those who go along with it are born, and those who go against it die" are also.
There is a need for dialectics.

"Of all the forms of beauty, I firmly believe that the most beautiful is the human form, and when God gives strength to men, He gives women beauty."
Hegel Old Man Yun, "Women's skin is the development of history", "Women's hair is the development of history", from the ancient Ru Mao drinking blood to the "Shuo Ren" in the era of "National Wind", to the twelve chao in the Grand View Garden, to the golden house Jiaowa in the contemporary Lai Changxing "Red Chamber", their Peugeot charming, Chuchu moving, that is the result of human beings transforming nature for hundreds of thousands of years, but also objectified to transform themselves, it is one of the signs of human evolution and progress. A "Dream of the Red Chamber" is an age-old song that sings "Daughter Beauty". Therefore, female beauty, including women's physical beauty, as the eternal theme of people's aesthetic appreciation, should be beyond reproach.
However, this is one aspect of the problem.
When people created the world of gods according to the order of the world, they also created the gods who dominated everything through exaggeration and magnification in the form of the emperors of the world. However, our God's "endowed beauty on women" is by no means a feminine pride; on the contrary, it is, as one great sage put it, the product of "the failure of women in the world." In the history of human growth, there was a long matriarchal clan era that far exceeded the history of civilization, and in that period, the social status of women was far greater than that of men. Later, with the emergence of patriarchy in private property, history was reversed. The entire history of human civilization, including today's "globalized" "information age", is a male-centered society, and women have become men's slaves, vassals or vases to varying degrees. This different "endowment" of men and women is precisely the historical product of the era marked by private property. Therefore, from this point of view, women's beauty is not women's pride, it comes with women's humiliation.

The enviable "harem beauty three thousand people, three thousand pampered in one"
In the animal world, we often see that beauty is "endowed" to the male. In birds and beasts, such as lions, tigers and peacocks, whether it is physical robustness, grace, feathers or the loudness of the voice, it is the patent of the male. Birds of "dual marriage" or "monogamy" are always males who show off to females, and the beautiful one wins. Among the beasts living in the group, the male who is always the best in terms of strength and beauty becomes the Prince Charming of all women. This is the case with human close relatives, the ape. On the surface, they also possess the "three palaces and six courts" and "seventy-two concubines", but the monkey king and the emperor are fundamentally different: for the former, its hegemony is based on the needs of group reproduction and development, which is the result of natural selection; while the latter is the naked enslavement of the opposite sex by virtue of power. In terms of facts, at this point, people are inferior to monkeys. Even for its own reproduction, the imperial family is a kind of regression. There are three thousand harem beauties, and the king is often worried about the lack of heirs, and the "last emperor" is a product of this system of possession. Ximen Qing, who had a large number of wives and concubines, was distressed by the lack of heirs, and in fact received this kind of punishment.
Human beings should be like their distant ancestors and close relatives, and in the long process of reproduction and evolution, nature has given strength and beauty mainly to men. It was only later, when the male-centered society gradually turned women into vassals and vases, that "beauty" became a patent for women. Whether it is the past "husbands are proud of their wives and noble wives", "there is a beautiful jade in the book", or today's "using youth resources to pan for gold", "it is better to do a good job than to marry well", they all reflect the inequality between the "poopers" and the "bubbles". Since then, "female beauty" has developed with the development of civilization, on the one hand, it has become one of the symbols of human civilization and culture, and at the same time, it has also constituted the history of women's humiliation and human nature distortion. This distortion, in the ancient Chinese practice of foot binding, has been extremely expressed, in this sense, today's high heels, as well as the emerging breast augmentation, rhinoplasty and liposuction, are just a mild modern version of foot binding. While men are proud that he has wealth and can enjoy everything, women are increasingly worried and distressed about the passing of their youth - looking at the beauty fever can not ignore the human environment of society. The entire history of human civilization is both the history of the oppression of the majority by the minority and the domination of women by men.

Many years ago, an 82-year-old celebrity and a 28-year-old woman were happily married, and as a beautiful conversation of marriage and love, they were hyped up by the media. Recently, a strong family drama "Big Husband" has soared in ratings after its release. After reading the title, you may take it for granted that this is a heroic drama written about "grandfathers" showing masculinity, wrong, "Big Husband" is singing "old and young love".
According to media reports:
The hit drama "Big Husband", starring Wang Zhiwen and Li Xiaoran, ended last night on Oriental Satellite TV. This alternative family drama has been popular since its inception, and the drama boldly analyzes the ultimate elements of family life such as "old and young love", "sister-brother love", "Weng Son-in-law War" and so on. Li Xiao, the screenwriter of the play, revealed in an interview yesterday that he is also "old and young" with her husband in life. Facts have proved that Li Xiao's attempt was successful, and "Big Husband", a drama that focuses on "old and young love", has aroused strong resonance in society. "This topic also pays attention to the survival pressure faced by many young people, and their girlfriends may be snatched away by old men who are more mature and more golden," Li Xiao said, "This drama is very serious about the age difference in marriage, not to teach people bad, but full of human care." "In my own marriage, I did feel the happiness of 'love between young and old.'" Li Xiao revealed that ""old and young love" is the norm There are almost a pair around. ”
Viewed in isolation, this is a manifestation of the full freedom of marriage and love in life, as commentators often say, the age gap is not an obstacle to marital happiness. Like what
Free-flying poetic couple
But if you expand your thinking a little, if you look a little farther, the conclusions you come to are less poetic.
The screenwriter responded to the question: everyone has "old and young love" around them
"Xi Bao": "I am just trying to get his money!" ”
On March 13, 2014, The Times Weekly had an article dedicated to this issue, entitled "The Chinese Marriage Market Behind Old Husbands and Young Wives".
Marriage and "market", wonderful!
"The Chinese Marriage Market Behind Old Husbands and Young Wives" CFP Courtesy photo: "Big Husband", people care about whether there is happiness between husbands in their 50s and wives in their 30s, including sex, fertility and spiritual communication.
The article examines the current situation of marriage in China in the coordinates of the "market economy", according to the reality. This, the authors say, "to a certain extent, is also a reflection of the overall state of China's current society." ”
According to media reports, around 2000, according to the marriage registration of the civil affairs department, the age gap between men and women between Chinese spouses was increasing at a rate of 0.6 years per year. According to a sociological report quoted by the China News Agency in 1999, the age gap between men and women in China when they marry is widening. The survey found that in 1987, the proportion of husbands and wives aged 2 was the highest, reaching 47.17%; After entering the 1990s, the proportion of male and female 5 years old was the highest, reaching 48.44%; The proportion of male and female 8 years old and 10 years old is also rising significantly, and the proportion of men and women over 10 years old is considered to belong to the "old and young match", an increase of 14% over 1987. This reflects the increasing number of marriages between 'old men and young wives'. ”
This data is also mentioned in the article "Analysis of the Social Environment of the Current Changes in the Status of Women in China" in the Journal of Contemporary China Studies, No. 2 (No. 73), 2001: "In the mid-1990s, the proportion of husbands 10 years older than their wives increased by 14.5 percentage points compared with 1987. This kind of marriage situation of big men and small women is generally a marriage pattern in which men remarry after divorcing their original spouses after they are rich. ”
This also leads to "structural out-of-marriage for elderly women in cities":
"The TV series "Big Husband" is full of modern themes, behind which is the increasingly cruel situation of China's marriage market: according to a research survey by Yi Songguo, director of the Department of Sociology of Shenzhen University, 94.6% of divorced women in Shenzhen have not remarried, and more than 80% of men have remarried; According to the marriage registration of the civil affairs department, the age gap between men and women between chinese spouses is increasing at a rate of 0.6 years per year; In Beijing, remarried men aged 65 and over are, on average, more than 13 years older than their wives... The data is surprising, and the reality of the marriage market is equally cruel. ”
The article introduces the research of the Nobel Prize-winning American economist Becker, who used economic methods to examine the laws of the marriage market in the book "Family Theory", and concluded: "The resources of men in the marriage market are wealth and status, and the resources of women in the marriage market are youth and beauty; Men's resources increase with age, and women's resources decrease with age. According to this law, once they enter middle age, the resources of both men and women may be out of balance, and men often become "efficient seekers" and women become "inefficient seekers" in the marriage market. This explanation provides an economic basis for the emergence of middle-aged and elderly men with more resources in the remarriage market of "old and young love", and even the phenomenon of "seeing different thoughts" in marriage.
Becker's conclusions are not positive or negative, but purely "market" analyses. But this is much deeper than the poetic arias of "freedom" and "romance" of "Big Husbands". It is enough to analyze "youthful beauty" and "wealth status" in the market as the object of "fair trade". To put it more thoroughly, this ever-expanding phenomenon of "old husbands and young wives" still shows the increasing dominance of wealth and power in marriage and love, reflecting the polarization of society and male domination, the commodification of women's youth and the vassal status of men. The media's glorification of this phenomenon reflects the discursive hegemony of money and the successful domestication of power into social psychology.
The worship of beauty and the beauty fever are spawned by this social phenomenon.

In recent years, the tide of commodity economy sweeping across the land of Shenzhou has dissolved the shackles of tradition on the majority of women, broadened the world of women's value choices, and has great liberation significance. But we cannot fail to see that behind this emancipation is the ubiquitous domination of money that replaces the shackles of tradition, which also includes many positive and healthy human norms.
Some authoritative theorists advocate "sacrificing the development strategy of a generation of young girls" and strongly advocate "the sunshine of the sex industry". "Youth consumption" has also become an indispensable daily content for corrupt officials and large and small money, "money beauty", "second milk", "xiaomi" and "bubble girl", has become a regular discourse of the strong class, and "beautiful" and "cool" have naturally become the symbols of consumer goods. The corrupt officials who have surfaced rarely do not have "mistresses" and "second milk", and there are also "second milk villages" in a certain first-tier city.
In the atmosphere of the rice circle culture soaring, a gorgeous turn, Chen Bailu has increasingly become a youth idol that millions of people obsessively look up to and chase. The showbiz industry has long used gossip as a means of self-hype, and "I was raised by so-and-so" can actually become a bestseller. "I'd rather be a little third child than marry a poor man", "I'd rather sit on a Mercedes-Benz and cry than sit on a bicycle and laugh", and there is no shortage of masters and doctors who are willing to be "Xiaomi". A female shuo internet celebrity in Shanghai said: "Now it is a commodity society, and everyone is working hard for their own interests." If a woman only has a body left to bet on tomorrow, then why hesitate! The once-famous "heaven on earth" finally "flowed and flowers fell and went in the spring", but similar transactions were still "situ layden who could not be helped".
The "Eight Glory and Eight Shame Theory" is aimed at the serious phenomenon of inversion of honor and shame that exists in society.

Fashion is not necessarily good, and scrutiny still has to return to the "original intention".
A great philosopher once said: "The noble ladies of the civilized age, who are outwardly respected and detached from all practical labor, have an incomparably inferior social status than the women of the barbaric age who toiled." Therefore, although the status of some popular stars is sky-high, their liberated historical character cannot be compared with Xiaoqin, Xi'er and Li Shuangshuang. Saint-Simon regarded the degree of women's emancipation as a natural measure of the universal emancipation of mankind in any society, and the complete emancipation of women must be achieved only when it is accompanied by the total emancipation of mankind. The era of women's emancipation will truly come only when all members of society, including men and women, enjoy full equal rights to the means of social production, and thus their rights in labour and distribution are also fully equal, and the economic basis on which one part of the population has always been in charge of the fate of another can be completely changed.
