The 2021 Tokyo Summer Olympics and the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics have come to an end, and people's discussions about The Olympic games are still continuing.
Some people say that competitive competition is all about winning or losing. Competitive sports are different from mass fitness, and are intended to maximize human potential. Defeating opponents and achieving excellent athletic performance is a basic requirement for participating athletes.
Some people also say that watching the Olympics before was really just about winning or losing, and only willing to look at the projects that China won steadily. Now I think everything looks good, my face looks good, my strength looks good, my skills look good, my memes look good, my team spirit looks good, I laugh and cry...

Break the bottleneck of cultural mentality
------------------------------------
Wu Weidong
The mentality is good, and there are scenery everywhere. Once upon a time, when the Chinese people watched the Olympic Games, they looked at winning or losing, and even more, the projects that were not won by China did not look at it; but now, a considerable number of Chinese people feel that all aspects of the competition process, from the face to the memes, are very good-looking, and they can be happy and happy to lose. In short, the utilitarian mentality of caring about winning or losing is no longer "a monopoly", and the aesthetic mentality of focusing on the process has gradually been externalized into a beautiful landscape.
The subtle changes in the mentality of watching the Olympic Games actually reflect the gratifying transcendence and progress at certain levels in the hearts of contemporary Chinese people.
The attitude of being limited to utilitarianism and utilitarianism is actually an extremely pragmatic attitude towards life. Under certain historical conditions, the more people who hold this attitude, it is easy to form a climate, and then accumulate to form a collective unconscious, or a national mentality. And this conscious mentality has a narrow, short-sighted pattern due to excessive utilitarian purposes. It is true that it is not useless, and in some specific historical stages, it will also bring a short-term or even strong stimulating effect on the development of individuals or societies, but from a longer period of time, it will inevitably become a stubborn fixed trend of people's minds, thus hindering the further development of life or society. As evidenced by history, KangQian surrendered, the Qing court declined, and the so-called "Heavenly Dynasty and Heavenly Kingdom" still regarded Western science and technology as "strange and obscene tricks." Such lessons are as impressive as yesterday.
A single branch is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in the spring and fill the garden. As the team of the Chinese dream, the Chinese table tennis team has also once fallen into the quagmire of pragmatism and utilitarianism, self-closure and almost lost the broad world stage, and now this dream team has changed the existing old concepts, with a pioneering and broad mind to seek cooperation with foreign teams, promote win-win results, so as to become a real world team.
Looking back at history, the development of Chinese civilization has always been inextricably linked to Confucian culture, and the long-term subtle influence of Confucian culture that pays attention to pragmatism on national psychology has caused a situation in which national psychological pragmatism and stability are more than enough, but richness, transcendence and innovation are insufficient. At present, the rejuvenation of China is facing a change that has not occurred in the world in a hundred years, and the reflection and reconstruction of the national cultural mentality is particularly urgent, and how to break the bottleneck of the national cultural mentality is still an important issue for us. Fortunately, we have seen the dawn of a new era from the gratifying changes in the mentality of the people to see the Olympics and other aspects. As long as there is an appropriate mechanism to promote the guidance of correct values, I believe that more people will definitely get out of the bottleneck of cultural mentality in the future.
It should be pointed out that to get out of narrow pragmatism is not to completely reject utilitarianism, adopt a nihilistic attitude towards the success or failure of victory and defeat and resign to it, but strive to break through the barrier of utilitarianism, break free from the heavy shackles caused by quick success and short-term profit, open up international vision, stimulate the humanistic spirit, inquire about the spiritual dimension, enhance aesthetic taste, let the soul embrace a richer world, and let the spirit soar in a broader long sky.
Since ancient times, there have been wins and losses in the game, and victories and defeats have always been family affairs, but the soul can not be poor, and the spirit can not be narrow! The Tao Te Ching says: "The winner is strong, and the self-victor is strong." "Let us jump into the situation together and jointly break the bottleneck of the national cultural mentality, so as to better meet the severe challenges of the new era and open a new journey of Chinese civilization."
