It is reported that Hou Yaohua made a generous statement in a recent interview with reporters. He said that some people only seek personal interests and do not really learn art at all, and such a master-apprentice relationship is a great shame. It is even more unceremonious to point out that this kind of person is just apprenticed to the master for profit, and has not learned the real skills at all, and he does not know anything about the master's classic works, which is simply a blasphemy of tradition.
To be honest, Hou Yaohua does not have a good impression in the hearts of many netizens, a person in his seventies, dressed with oily hair and powder, with bells and whistles, giving people a sense of cunning and hypocrisy. In the past few years, Hou Yaohua did shameful things, such as fighting for his late brother's family property for Lao Disrespectful and his niece, licking his face to buy cheap bags for female apprentices, and lying to her that she was a world famous brand; accepted Guo Degang's disciple He Weiwei as an apprentice, and He Weiwei went from Guo Degang's apprentice to Guo Degang's junior brother all of a sudden, and his generation was in chaos. Hou Yaohua's "saucy operation" clearly deliberately humiliated Guo Degang, making him unable to speak of his bitterness, knocking out his teeth and swallowing blood in his stomach, how poisonous his heart is!
This time, Hou Yaohua's practice of apprenticing for the sake of interests made some people sigh and criticize, and what he said still has a certain truth. However, he is only half right, some so-called masters are not successful, their own abilities are limited, in order to show themselves, no matter what the character of some cross talk actors is, they will be accepted as apprentices. The result of this directly leads to mixed good and bad conditions; When the apprentice puts his name on the master, he will open all over the world and get tickets. Unlike the old artists who talked about cross talk in the past, they accepted a few apprentices who really wanted to learn skills, taught by word and deed, and taught sincerely. The master taught with his heart, and the apprentices learned with his heart, and in the end, the apprentices all learned a good skill and lived a life without worrying about food and clothing.
In the past, people often said that the master taught the apprentice to give the apprentice a glass of water, and he had to have a bucket of water to make the water flow for a long time; The master himself is "half a bottle of water", how can he teach his disciples?! Some apprentices themselves are very strong, and the cross talk is very strong, worship a teacher, that is, have a backer, find a place to "shelter from the wind and rain", and if something happens, let the master be a "water extinguishing captain", speak for himself, and support himself and strengthen his courage.
In fact, apprentices can't learn anything from their masters, and they can only meet during the New Year's holidays.
The relationship between the master and the apprentice, no one should say that no one is exquisite, to put it bluntly, you want my money, I use your name to earn money, and everyone takes what they need!
If the relationship between master and apprentice is just a kind of master talking on paper, and the apprentice is hungry for food, and there is a lack of real inheritance and learning, then what is the point of such a master-apprentice relationship?
Hou Yaohua's point of view is worthy of our serious consideration, if inheritance and innovation are only for personal interests, then it is undoubtedly a harm to traditional culture. We should advocate true learning and inheritance, and Master poured his heart and soul into sweat, accumulated years of experience, and patiently taught his apprentices; And the apprentice should study hard to be worthy of the master's training.
If the master can't teach the apprentice any skills, don't accept the apprentice; Apprentices should not unscrupulously "lean" on the master for personal interests. Master and apprentice together, the master really teaches, and the apprentice really learns, so that we can inherit and carry forward the essence of traditional culture, so that it can shine with new brilliance in contemporary times.
