I, Titan, can't think of a topic today, and I'm getting ready to swing and sleep;
Brother Kai, a colleague who came up with the topic of "swinging rotten literature", suddenly fell apart and did not want to write;
The closed loop is broken, and this is the work.

The above text is a passage I wrote about "rotten literature", real people and real events. Don't mind if you don't write well, because I'm at this level.
I didn't sleep, I was thinking about the topic with my eyes open! /Visual China
"Pendulum" is nothing new. It's easy to see through search engines that the term was already on the Internet in Chinese at least 2008, except that the "pendulum" at the time was an NBA game term.
The NBA has introduced a set of "balance mechanism" that allows the bottom ranked team to get a high-pick pick, so that it can select strong newcomers to achieve the purpose of improving the team's level. This mechanism has led many teams to deliberately release water to get low scores, which is the original source of "pendulum".
Pendulum is not a new word. /Sohu screenshot
In recent years, the e-sports circle has exploded, and many League of Legends players and anchors will also use "swinging" to mock themselves when the situation is unfavorable and the can is broken. After "mourning", "Buddhism" and "lying flat" have passed, "pendulum" has also gone out of the circle and has become people's mantra.
The mantra will be tired if it is too much, it is not fun, and it is also necessary to put on a new idea/height. People gradually found that the original celebrities and literary heroes are also like themselves, when they should be rotten, they will be rotten, and they will never waste a minute to roll inside. The resulting "pendulum literature" has really raised the pendulum to the height of "pendulum learning".
The great writer Tolstoy once wrote in his diary:
"September 19, 1858:
It was enjoyable. Decided, should love, should work! That's it.
September 20, 1858:
Tired. I don't want to love anymore, and I don't want to work anymore. ”
The great writers can slow down, why can't I stop?
When the great writers still want to catch their breath, will the earth stop when they mess up? What's more, Tolstoy is not the only one who is in a bad position, and the pendulum scholars have also examined more "real hammers".
Don't laugh
Rotten literature is really related to literature
Since it is a rotten literature, kafka, a writer known as the "king of the bereaved king", must be on the list.
Kafka has clouds: "I can't move towards the future, but I can face the future and stagnate." What I do best is lie still. This sentence is especially taken as a guideline by the positographers, and it turns out that our "ability" with Kafka is not much different, and we will lie still, the difference is only a few novels.
I am a treasure youth with hobbies, my hobby is to sleep, please give more advice.
His pendulum speech can be more than this sentence, and it is more out of the circle:
"Just walking, it made me so tired that I couldn't do anything for three whole days."
"When Balzac walked, the words 'I defeat all difficulties' were inscribed on the handle of his usual cane. On the top of my cane is inscribed: 'All difficulties will crush me.' The only thing we have in common is the word 'everything.' ”
If you think that Kafka's life is only a mess, you are wrong. Kafka worked as an insurance salesman for 15 years before becoming a writer. He is not the kind of iron rooster who sticks to the account, but really thinks about the interests of customers. Since many of his clients were workers, Kafka designed the world's first civilian hard hat to protect workers.
You say Kafka is mournful, but in the face of responsibility, he never screws up.
On the other hand, rotten literature is not all Kafka's. Kafka also said many inspirational sentences:
"You try to make bad things happen well. You don't dodge. Instead, watch carefully. You need to replace passive stimuli with active understanding. That way you'll deal with these things. ”
"If people want to live, they must have faith. Believe in the reasonable inner connection between everything and all moments, and believe that life as a whole will go on forever. ”
Stupid? Stupid also shines (manual dog head).
The experience of the Chinese writer Yu Hua, which is also somewhat similar to Kafka's, is to turn from the workplace to literature, except that Yu Hua used to be a dentist. Yu Hua once said in an interview:
"When I came to work at the cultural center on my first day, I was deliberately two hours late. As a result, I found that I was actually the first to come, and I thought that this place had come to the right place. ”
"I slept until noon almost every day, and then wandered around the streets, and I couldn't find anyone to play with, so I went home and started writing."
Sleeping until noon every day and arriving two hours late is not taken care of, is this not the ideal life in the minds of social animals?
Leisure is a kind of freedom of man, the purpose of work is leisure, of course, the two are also mutually reinforcing.
That's just one, not all. In essence, creation requires passion and space. From nine to five, performance constraints do not produce creativity, and at most they can only produce assembly line products. Yu Hua slept until noon, not to sleep for a lifetime, but to relax his mind to better immerse himself in the ocean of literature.
Yu Hua described it this way:
"I believe that literature is created by hearts that are weak and at the same time incomparably rich and sensitive. Let us understand and excited insomnia, let us still love each other thousands of miles away, let us still love each other after life and death. ”
As long as it doesn't "suck" at the beginning, the teacher should also give the student one more chance.
Pendulum is a kind of adjustment; love is the purpose.
Behind the pendulum
Stress relief and optimism
Many times, pendulum scholars consider the literature and just play with the terrier.
The Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei was known as the "Poetry Buddha", and he had two sentences in the "Farewell to the End of the South": "Walk to the end of the water, sit and watch the clouds rise." The reason why this poem is regarded as a famous piece of pendulum, from a literal point of view, just a "sitting" word can make the pendulum scholars excited to the point of not being able to sleep.
From a poetic point of view, this verse can also be understood as —
Life is a casual walk, where to count, sometimes unconsciously come to the end of the flowing water, it seems that there is no way to go, so simply sit down.
Judging from Wang Wei's experience of believing in Buddhism after middle age, this kind of self-adaptation is indeed in line with Wang Wei's temperament. The key is how to understand the "water exhaustion", if not, then "sit and watch the clouds rise"? Isn't it too early!
The key is not what Wang Wei's original intention is, but that this poem can be used as a rotten argument, and can be borrowed to relieve pressure. Whether it is ancient poems or famous sentences, rotten literature is more of a ridicule and pressure relief, not a real rot.
Some Weibo netizens created a poll with the headline "Do you think it is to give up on yourself or relax for a short time", and 40,000 of the 60,000 participants thought it was "temporary relaxation", accounting for 66.7%.
To a certain extent, the official recognition of the emotional regulation effects of the pendulum, lying flat, and Buddhist system.
On April 21, the Information Office of the State Council released a white paper entitled "Chinese Youth in the New Era".
At the press conference on the same day, He Junke, first secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, said that the mainstream view of contemporary youth is still "believing that success can only be achieved by personal hard work", and the vast majority of young people are optimistic about the future. "Therefore, we believe that this kind of 'lying flat' and 'Buddhist' in the colloquial language of young people is more of a ridicule and emotional expression of relieving pressure."
He Junke also said that the state attaches great importance to solving the deep-seated problems reflected in the "lying flat" and "Buddhist system." He believes that in the environment of the mainland's unique demographic structure and relatively fierce competition for qualified personnel, the pressures faced by contemporary young people to work, study, and live are both great and realistic.
Indeed, under the slogan of "efficiency first" in the market economy, the phenomenon of human materialization has become more and more prominent. Recently, a post-00s made his job resume into a "product manual", and after this news appeared on Weibo's hot search, a considerable number of netizens in the comments were reflecting on this phenomenon of materialization.
Such a resume, do you think it reflects talent or materialization?
The main body of the economy is people, and the most important thing to reduce people to adults is to break the superstition of efficiency and accept a certain degree of "slow life". For example, the algorithm's discipline of takeaway riders and consumers makes riders tired of running, and also makes it difficult for consumers to accept that they are 1 minute late, which is a kind of materialization. We could have eaten earlier, so it didn't matter if we delivered a little later.
Under pressure, some young people choose to return to their hometowns to work, some live a life of seclusion, and some reduce their materialistic desires and reduce their salaries to enjoy a slow life.
In a way, the contemporary young people who shout the slogan of "rotten literature" but are unwilling to leave the big cities are the real braves, just want to breathe, what is wrong?
The pendulum is pleasant
Don't overdo it
Many people forward rotten literary posters, generally for two reasons, in addition to the emotional regulation needs analyzed above, there is also a fact that these copywriters are really humorous.
There is a kind of optimism called pendulum optimism.
Many of us grew up reading success and chicken soup literature. These inspirational chicken soups have always instilled one thing in you, and that is to "succeed."
What is success?
Success is to be the first in the grade, that is, to be admitted to a prestigious university, to be admitted to the north, to go to Guangzhou, and to be deep, to be promoted and raise, to buy a big house, and to go to a higher place in terms of money and status. But success science will not tell you that everyone's "water poverty" is different, and society is a pyramid structure, and it is impossible for everyone to reach the spire.
Messing up literature is the opposite of making chicken soup literature.
Chicken soup literature says don't lose at the starting line. Rotten literature tells you that if you want to lose, you will lose at the starting line, and if you lose at the end and run in vain, it is not worth it!
Chicken soup literature says that where you fall, you get up. Rotten literature tells you that where you fall, you lie down.
Chicken soup literature says, "Everything is difficult at the beginning", which is to encourage you to survive the difficulties. Rotten literature tells you that everything is difficult at the beginning, then difficult in the middle, and difficult in the end, so it is good to be like this.
Originally a banner of chicken soup literature: "Don't blame yourself, don't blame others." As a result, the word "no" on the slogan was blocked by a tree, which became a rotten literature: "Don't blame yourself, blame others." ”
Between the lines, it's funny! Life is not satisfactory in nine times out of ten, why should it be compared everywhere? Many times it is necessary to let yourself go, smile, and live a long time!
However, everything has a degree. In the rotten literature, there are also some sentences that really feel very sad after reading it. I saw on Weibo that some netizens have been deeply affected by the negative psychology in rotten literature, have become uninterested in things, and have lost their passion and curiosity in work and life.
There is a degree of rot, not too much.
Sentences such as: "Before others called me a waste: Who are you talking about?" Now others call me a waste: look at people really accurately. "You can talk about it when you are helpless, but the important thing is to actively regulate, not really give up on yourself."
The road of life is very long, and there are many paths. In the face of the uncertainty of the general environment, you can reduce desire, you can delay satisfaction, and you can adjust your emotions, but please never forget the following three points:
love!
curiosity!
belief!
