Chapter 603: Deafening!
Li Kuo's words have always been his cognition, and in fact, he also feels that this must be like that. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Why is American culture able to rampant in the world?
It's like their movie, and there are various other cultures, especially Los Angeles is already the cultural and fashion center of the world, and the output of other cultures is also particularly terrifying.
One of the most important reasons is that they are extremely strong in their national strength, and people can't help but get closer to them, and they are always good at accepting their values.
As a result, a lot of things in their country have become a kind of benchmark.
Without national strength, it is too difficult to talk about cultural export.
It's just that people obviously don't like this kind of chicken soup like the answer now, and what they want to hear is something deafening.
Soon a student asked, "But that's a bit too general, isn't it?" If this is the case, then in terms of our current total GDP, we should have become a major exporter of culture a long time ago. ”
Li Kuo said: "I think it's just a matter of time, and now we are still trying to try, after all, there are big differences between Eastern and Western cultures, and there are all kinds of differences, and it is not an overnight thing to cross this gap and make them accept our culture." ”
The students then asked, "But why is Japanese culture so splendid?" Nowadays, there are many fans of Japanese culture around the world, especially fans of various anime, and there are even many Hollywood directors who send love letters such as making movies for their anime plots...... But in terms of national strength, none of this should be. ”
This question immediately caught the attention of many people.
In this time and space, the Americans have withdrawn from Japan and even withdrawn from the Western Pacific, and Japan has officially been included in the wings of China, so many people have a sense of superiority over Japan, but the problem is that in terms of culture, the Japanese still have world-famous anime, and there are many things that have influenced many people, but China does not have this scale of influence.
So everyone is looking forward to hearing what Li Kuo has to say.
Li Kuo pondered for a moment and then said, "First of all, you can think about it, what are the cultural trends in Japan now? The main thing is the revival of tradition, but to put it mildly, their traditional revival is to a large extent to show us goodwill, and their traditional revival is to a large extent to de-Westernize and move closer to us, which is the embodiment of national strength and culture. ”
When this comes out, everyone will be able to think through a lot of things.
However, some people soon said, "But this still hasn't solved our problem, Japanese anime is still popular all over the world, what is the reason for this?" What lessons can we learn from the West? ”
Li Kuo pondered for a while, but still planned to release some shocking words.
At the moment, he said, "This is about the difference in our thinking...... Japan is using fashion to make tradition, but we are trying to make tradition popular...... But I think that the export of culture must be the export of popular culture, and the export of traditional culture is a fool's dream.
Think about it, what does the United States export? Gaming, American dramas, Hollywood.
What does Japan export? Manga, anime, ship woman.
But what about our country? What are you trying to output? Peking Opera, martial arts, old Chinese medicine.
To export culture, you must export pop culture, and output those who can listen to the app when you click on the app, play when you turn on the computer, and watch episode by episode while lying in bed. When these cultural products that can enter thousands of households in other countries become popular, the traditional culture of some ethnic groups will also spread to a certain extent.
It's like anime and manga that have introduced some people to traditional Japanese culture, and they have begun to make yukata and tea ceremonies known to people in other countries. But does it make sense for you to make up your mind from the beginning and keep promoting tea ceremony, ikebana, and geisha?
There may be some people who are interested, but presumably only a very small number of people, and such an export culture will not succeed.
So, content is king...... Without the popular factors that attract everyone, these countless old Chinese medicine doctors in Peking Opera can only get a curious eye, but they can't get appreciation and praise, let alone any consumption.
Now our self-promotion is always babbling Peking Opera, an old man playing Tai Chi, and an uncle writing calligraphy.
These things are not only alienated from the West, but even the distance Chinese their own lives...... It's all too far. ”
Li Kuo's words just came out, which immediately caused an uproar, and this was also in Li Kuo's imagination.
In fact, many people have a natural pride, especially the rise of China in recent years, which makes everyone feel that many things have proved that China is the first in the world, so everything in ancient times is right, and sometimes it is definitely a big problem to abandon some ancient traditions and customs in modern times, and it must be punished.
But Li Kuo has now put forward an almost diametrically opposed point of view!
This makes some people think in their hearts, but there are also many people who feel that their three views are about to be subverted!
At that moment, someone soon stood up and retorted: "I can't agree with such words, what is national is global, do we want to give up all culture?" ”
Li Kuo said: "It's not like that, I agree, the national is the world, and I have never said that I want to give up all the traditional culture, I just mean that we need to take the road of moisturizing things silently, and we should not hold the ears of foreigners at the beginning and say that we have something and what are the benefits of these things." We need to put this kind of cultural exchange under the good-looking content, so that it can be accepted by everyone......"
Speaking of which, many people are already thinking about it, and in fact they have been persuaded by Li Kuo.
Because what Li Kuo said is indeed reasonable, this cannot be denied......
However, there are still people who say: "However, I have always felt that the route we are taking now is a betrayal of our brilliant traditional culture, this road is not good, we must restore the tradition!" ”
This view is already radical.
Li Kuo smiled slightly, and then said, "Then what is the so-called tradition?" I don't think there's much need to be thick with the past and the present, and the tradition we see now was also modern at the time, and it seems like everything we are going through now, even the new words we use, and the various works produced in these years are also part of the traditional culture after some time. ”
As soon as these words came out, even at Yenching University, it made everyone feel a little deafening. (To be continued.) )
