Speaking of "Painted Skin", everyone should be familiar with the story of the demon in Jai Zhiyi.
As a child, I loved to read. I have average grades in school, but I love to read, and I always feel that reading is an interest, and reading is not competing for rankings. Specifically, I like to read, like to think independently, and my diploma is not high, but when I was a child, I read a lot and was curious. When the amount of reading reaches a certain level, and their own experience also reaches a certain level, their thinking breaks out of the ground, and the article is naturally like flowing water.
In this life, people not only have to read articles, but also read countless people and have rich experience, in order to understand themselves, understand the world, and find a balance point to unify their values with the world view. It should not be blind self-righteousness, arbitrarily judging right and wrong in this world, many times, the self is only a certain angle of feeling, does not represent true or false. Reading, can not read dead books, to learn to think. Right and wrong are just the habitual results that people give themselves, and from everyone's point of view, they are actually different, and they have to think differently. A good story is not only the standard that tells us right and wrong, but more importantly, it makes us understand why we think.
Each story and each play has a different author and director, and it can be different. The human mind is enough to make up countless stories, with different causes and effects. However, no matter what kind of story, only things that conform to the commonality of human aesthetics can be passed on for a long time, so what we expect must not be negative energy. We can complain in one sentence, the reality is too cruel, the chicken soup is too boring. However, the reality will become more and more cruel, but when you don't have chicken soup to drink, don't you feel more pitiful?
March 1980 1st edition of the villain book "Painted Skin"
I like to watch a movie alone, just as I like to be alone, reading, writing, drawing. Mainly I like to enjoy the space where one thinks independently, especially when writing. Static can give birth to concentration, and it can give birth to wisdom.
Only when you calm down, think independently, and truly read yourself can you understand why the world is so unchanging. Everyone struggles with tens of thousands of thoughts every day, but there are not many people who can really calm down, people are often tied up by their own countless ideas, can't find a breakthrough, and sometimes infinitely amplify emotions, so someone invented the concept of "emotional intelligence".
I read the second part of "Painted Skin" once, and by the way, I also read the first part. I love watching drama, not because I'm bored and need to find some entertainment to pass the time. I always want to know what people think and think into a story, in different times, in the eyes of different people, what is a content? When a person likes to think, no matter what he does, he will continue to think, from reading, from movies, from life, to witness his own life. Experience is irreplaceable by others, and only different thinking is to judge what makes a person different.
We often say that those who know the face do not know the heart. In fact, this mind does not refer to our heart, it refers to the mind of each of us, and the mind will be affected by the mind. Ordinary people look at stories, whether from books or movies, the usual senses are vision, there are eyes into, and then into their hearts, otherwise how can it be said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, but have they entered the heart? Is it just to write the story of people and demons to scare people? Demons, are there no good demons? The lone demon Xiao Wei in "Painted Skin" is very beautiful, and ordinary people do not want to reject beauty, but just look at the degree of fans. Wang Sheng, the male protagonist of "Painted Skin 1", already has a beloved wife, but he cannot escape the confusion of the fox demon. Xiao Wei really loves Wang Sheng, love this thing can not say right or wrong, no one in the world can understand, can only go to their own clear grasp, confused, awake when enlightened. No matter which one you choose, it is the cause and effect that you should bear, and when you stand in the same position, you are equally caught off guard, unless, you have enough light in your heart to let you choose the best ending.
Then, knowing what the heart wants must be a kind of wisdom light guide, in a word, the conscience is not lost, and the true meaning of life is enlightened. What others say and how to see is not important, what is important is how they think and how to understand, understanding what they really want is the most important, in fact, many people do not know what they want, so they can not understand what others want, the nature is consistent, but there is a difference in human nature.
Wang Sheng, the male protagonist of "Painted Skin 1", is actually a rational-minded, benevolent, and righteous man, who only loves his wife with all his heart, and although his wife suspects that he has changed his heart, he is always loyal to his wife. The fox demon wants to experience the true love of people, she wants to find the feeling of the heart, to experience the true feelings of people. In the end, she found that Wang Sheng's love for his wife was love, and it could only be another kind of love for her, but love was not possessive, it was all true love. The demon experienced true love, gave Yuan Dan to his beloved, and saved him and his lover.
"Painted Skin 2" is another version, and the thinking determines how the director wants to turn the story into. His ideas determine the height and depth of the content, but they do not meet the tastes of the public, depending on the vision of the director. Personal values are inseparable from a common worldview. We often say that we understand a person, what is understanding? Remember what he looked like, won't it change? A smile and an anger, how long can you remember? If the demon does not eat people's hearts, her appearance cannot be maintained, and she will age in an instant. Aren't people the same? But you are shocked again, do people have to eat their hearts? To be precise, people need to nourish the soul to prolong life, so cultivate the mind and nourish the mind, first let the mind be full of nutrition.
The demon eats the human heart, the demon thinks that eating the heart can help her find true love, in fact, just to maintain the superficial vanity, the demon eats disgusting things every day, in addition to maintaining a skin bag, there is no sense of comfort in the heart, in order not to eat these disgusting things in the future, the demon must find a person, this person must willingly dedicate her heart to her, she can really get the sense of human existence, know love, know pain, know tears, know the fragrance of flowers.
It turned out that the demon was so envious of people, she thought it was the most beautiful thing. But some people don't think these are very beautiful, some of them began to envy the demon, the demon's freedom, the magic, and even the killing of people without worrying about the king's law. The demon has no heart and will not tell you about human feelings, but once the demon has a heart, he will find that the original human heart will hurt.
Princess Jing in "Painted Skin 2" likes Huo Xin, they are green plum bamboo horses, if it is not because of accidents, the princess ruined her face, Huo Xin will not feel guilty from now on, away from the princess, he knows that he does not deserve to have a princess, but Princess Jing has never given up fighting for her love. If you throw away your status and abandon your appearance, they are born a pair. The princess gave up her power in order to seek true love. Xiao Wei strives for survival and desires sincerity. And the sincerity here has no distinction between men and women, what is the sincerity?
The fox demon confused Huo Xin's eyes and temporarily confused his heart, but he still knew in his heart who he really loved. People have no wisdom roots, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, even saints, there is no perfection, this is human nature. Human nature often can't withstand confusion, there are always times of confusion, casually, difficult to control. Because there is a heart, people have a mind, and when people find their own heart, the door of wisdom will open. Huo Xin mistakenly regarded Xiao Wei as his beloved because his eyes were confused, but when he was with the princess who had changed Xiao Wei's appearance, he thought of the princess in his heart, he loved the princess's personality and the princess's thinking, but human nature has desires, and it is easy to be confused.
Therefore, Huo Xin resolutely self-destructed his eyes and looked at people with his heart, no matter how the appearance of his lover changed, he could be sure that she was still that she. At this time, this kind of love is the unity of mind and soul, perhaps this is true love on earth, if you do not consider the impermanent changes of time, true love will be frozen.
The demon can't find the true heart, because the demon has no heart, and there is no way to distinguish between the true and false hearts. People with hearts are people, but people's hearts are uncertain, there is no way to find the most perfect self, when people have no heart for demons, they just like the appearance of demons, not really love demons, how can that person come up with a true heart to eat for demons? Therefore, the demon eats a lot of human hearts, and in the end it is not the true heart that he wants, that heart is not flesh and blood, but the innocence of nature.
That's why I said that it is difficult to paint a tiger when painting a picture of a person, a person who knows a face does not know a heart, and a demon paints a skin every day, but she cannot draw a true heart.
If a person has no heart, he is no different from a demon beast. Once a demon has a heart, he can also become a human being. Good and evil have no standards, people's hearts have authenticity, this is what I have been accustomed to reading, watching and constantly thinking for many years, from life to feel the bits and pieces, the truth is not used to change others, in fact, it is used to self-reflection, understanding and perfecting their own hearts, otherwise say too much, it has nothing to do with themselves, they can't change themselves, who else can they understand?
Human enlightenment is in the self, not in others.
