The word "actually" does have its origin in the old language, but it is not used much in the ancients, but it is put on the lips of contemporary people all day long; in the final analysis, the evolution is a Rashomon, because everyone who says "actually" has his own little abacus, and no one will obey anyone.
The two sets of "actual" in Emperor Liang Yuan's table
The "fact" in ancient books has appeared in the "Mencius Teng Wen Gongshang", and for more than 2,000 years, the context used is basically pejorative, that is, "the surface is good, but in fact it is not so" (for example, "The Biography of Xiao Dayuan in the Northern History": Emperor Liang Yuan's xiaojiujiu against Xiao Dayuan, ostensibly sent him as an envoy, but in fact he was a hostage), and only in the contemporary era did he have the two-way meaning of "bad on the surface, good in fact".
Think about it for yourself, under what circumstances do you say "actually"? The more frequently you say it, the more you will expose your "little person" essence, so that Stephen Chow simply uses it as one of the necessary "golden sentences" in each of his films, and uses this "comedic self-deprecation" to strengthen the tragic color of small people.
"Kung Fu": The "actual" style of self-deprecation of small people
The ancients did not like to use this word because of hierarchy, because the recorder of the literature was also the "talker" of the ruler, and when describing things from their own lofty point of view, it naturally became "good on the surface, but not so in fact". For example, the boss says to you: "Don't look at you busy all day, in fact, you haven't done a good job"; even if you do a good job, the boss says so only because of his identity role, who let him overpower you?
Therefore, in the article "Mencius Teng Wen Gongshang", Mencius described the former tax system and said: "Don't look at the Xia Dynasty with fifty mu of fields, the Shang Dynasty with seventy mu, and the Zhou Dynasty with 100 mu to pay tribute, in fact, the tax rate is one-tenth!" (Xia Hou clan fifty and tribute, Yin people seventy and help, Zhou people hundred acres and thorough, in fact, all tithe), meaning that the more the field, the higher the tax, in fact, there is no tax reduction, the words are full of criticism and contempt.
Mencius was one of the few ancients who dared to criticize the former dynasty with "actuality"
We dig into the rare "fact" in ancient books, which is basically this kind of positive to negative meaning: posterity criticizes predecessors, superiors criticize subordinates, which is the most qualified to use "actually", as a weak party does not have the qualifications to "refute". However, after the "Confucianism", all kinds of "facts" have become self-criticism, after all, for two thousand years, all generations have used the same ruling system, and the rulers obviously do not like to do this, so you can't find much "actual" through twenty-four histories.
It's always okay for contemporary people to have some freedom of speech and complain about it, although that doesn't change anything. Therefore, Zhou Xingchi in "The King of Comedy" so "rebutted and defended" for himself: "In fact, I am an actor", from "dragon set" to "actor" is a confession from reverse to positive; in "Shaolin Football" he said: "In fact, I am a research monk", the same small person in the face of helpless inability to defend; in "The King of Destruction", he constantly wants to tell Ari: "In fact, I am the masked man", and the result is also "tragic".
Zhou Xingchi, who laughs with sadness in the movie
As a contemporary small citizen, whenever the boss scolds you for "waste firewood", I believe that many people will more or less defend themselves: "In fact, I do this because...", but the boss will definitely say: "You don't need to explain, in fact, all I want is the result!" "See, history has evolved for so many years, the little people at the bottom are just more self-deprecating "rights"; and the more people at the bottom, the more "actually" today, but this is not useful, you may still be the kind of "waste wood" in the eyes of the big and small bosses.
Although the ancients rarely used the "actual" to criticize themselves, in order to more vividly describe this relationship between dignity and inferiority in ancient times, today's costume film and television dramas will put a large number of "actual" on the ancients.
In the great drama "Zhenguan Changge", which describes the history of the early Tang Dynasty, in order to portray the cowardice and incompetence of prince Li Chengqian, there are a lot of "actual" in his lines, such as "I did this for the sake of my father and emperor you!" "Although I didn't do this right, it was actually for the sake of the Tang Dynasty!" ”...... All kinds of incompetent actions, coupled with various "actual" confessions, directly caused Tang Taizong to depose his prince. In front of Tang Taizong, Li Chengqian is the kind of "waste wood" in the eyes of today's bosses, but Li Chengqian in the history books has no such record, and the historians still know the upper and lower measures.
Li Chengqian's self-justification
Before there were more than two thousand years of strict hierarchical relations, and then there was a relationship of respect and inferiority in social status, "in fact", why did the confession from positive to negative or from reverse to positive become a "Rashomon"? In the final analysis, whether the "fact" is recorded in the classics or nagged in the hearts of everyone, it is an instinctive manifestation of human nature's "self-righteousness", but some people can say so, and some people can only silently nag and complain in their hearts.
Zhou Xingchi's success lies in the fact that he has spoken out all kinds of "facts" that have been nagging in the hearts of small people for more than two thousand years (but nothing has changed), so people say that what he makes is actually a tragic movie.
Nowadays, many historical hydrologists love to describe the ancients with all kinds of amazing titles, such as "Li Bai was actually a martial arts master, and Confucius actually had an amazing value of force"... Wait, wait, this is actually a typical small person mentality; it is estimated that some people are also fantasizing and expecting to confess to their sweethearts in their hearts: "In fact, I am the embodiment of the duojin and wisdom, Meng Tian and Pan An... Yushu Linfeng, personable prince! In fact, who you are and you know better than anyone.
In fact, you and I are just "passing by" in this world
Whatever the original intention (criticism, self-deprecation or accusation), perhaps "talking less and doing more" as an activist is the most effective way to avoid always saying "actually"? If you are really a piece of material, gold can not cover it!
Written to all the young people who are confused and have lost their way, in fact, you are you.
