Standing on the roof of the building opposite the church, you can see the layout of the church from the sky. It's like an ordinary church, and it's not too unusual, and even ordinary people won't come a second time after entering, because it's too ordinary, and compared to other churches that are beginning to show their wealth, the church here is ordinary and makes people feel shabby.

Human beings are very simple animals, and often an appearance is much more important than the inside. This importance is evident not only in perceptions, attitudes, but even in all aspects. Only some people who can't pay attention to the outside can say that they only care about the other party's inside, and maybe some of these words are some of the truth that everyone says. Although there is no way to rule out that the other party wants to create a detached temperament where everyone is drunk alone and I am alone. So these people don't think about it.

But if it's an ordinary person, no one says that they really don't pay attention to the outside, and often the person who says this is the one who values it the most. This is true for people, and it is the same for objects, just like the church now, because of the simplicity, because of the shabby, although most people came to watch it, but no one stayed.

Only a person with an ability like Wu Ling can see what kind of energy is emanating from this ordinary church, but unfortunately, the most people in the world are often ordinary people, so they can't see some beautiful scenery.

In Wu Ling's eyes, a huge pillar of light appeared from the cross outside the church, the pillar of light was not conspicuous, even close to transparent, and ordinary people with abilities could not find it at all. But when it comes to a realm like Wu Ling, such energy fluctuations are already like starlight in the dark night, which can be seen at a glance.

And this energy of the church is not offensive or defensive. It quietly thought about spreading around, wandering among ordinary people. Quietly sprinkled down their foreheads, whether it was pain or sadness. Still sad, under the soothing of this energy, their brows gradually relaxed, revealing a relaxed smile.

That's right, this energy works for nothing else, but for healing.

Although it is on the opposite side of the church, Wu Ling also has to admit that the church is not evil to everyone, and such evil is only for the supernatural. When you really treat ordinary people. They are more of a kind of tolerance with them. It's like the current energy, it's not that they're buying people's hearts, it's the characteristics of the silver-white cross in the church itself, gathering energy and radiating it, which can make the ordinary people around it get great benefits.

Although in this process, the energy consumed is local energy, and even because of this, more and more ordinary people trust the church, but. Ordinary people also reap great benefits, unlike ordinary beliefs, and then nothing is gained.

Such an existence began after the birth of the church, so if in the eyes of ordinary people. The church is even quite a bright denomination. But whether this is the case or not, only the real supernatural can know.

According to the information that Wu Ling knew, there was indeed no other conspiracy for the church to do this. It's just very simple to give ordinary people a certain cure, but. They gain a certain amount of faith, but it is the local paranormal who has to pay the bill. After all, if you want to exert the healing properties, then you have to consume local energy. And the energy consumed is also a very unbearable thing for the supernatural.

After all, although the energy is almost infinite, there are also more and less, and the concentration of energy is still very important for the growth of the supernatural. And now that so much energy is consumed, it is natural for the supernatural to pay.

Not to mention that there are still many church personnel who will encourage ordinary people to attack the supernatural, no matter what the casualties are, then the relationship between ordinary people and the supernatural will not be so harmonious. Other than that, there have been no surprises so far.

Just like some church people think, they don't care about the existence of ordinary people, just like ordinary people don't care about giving the leftover snack scraps to the ants, watching them amuse is actually a very interesting thing.

But is it really that simple? Wu Ling didn't think so.

Stretched out his hand and took a trace of energy that floated over, this energy was a little different from the alien energy and dream energy that Wu Ling came into contact with. If the dream energy is a mysterious purple, the life energy is a green, and the dream energy is a transparent nothingness, then the energy that now emanates from the church is a pure white.

This kind of white is different from ordinary white, holy, noble, spotless, as if nothing in the world can be wiped on it, it is quietly white, and even swallows up the surrounding darkness.

A burst of blue appeared on Wu Ling's fingertips, slowly moving closer to white, at the beginning, after just coming into contact with white, the energy of Wu Ling's fingertips turned white in an instant, and even surged up towards Wu Ling's fingers. And under Wu Ling's suppression, he retracted into Wu Ling's palm.

But unlike just now, the white color is still dazzling, but the energy light cluster has expanded in a circle, as if it has directly absorbed all the energy just now. Seeing this situation, Wu Ling didn't seem to have any surprises, and then continued to increase the energy input. In the process of input, the energy has been expanding, and the color is still dazzling white, and even the color is getting brighter and brighter, more and more dazzling.

And after the color reached its peak, in an instant, the energy mass in his hand that had turned into a fist turned blue in an instant. Seeing this situation, Wu Ling stopped inputting energy and put the energy mass in his hand in front of him.

It's a very bright blue, dozens of times brighter than even the purest sky blue. Although it is only a small ball of energy, it is like a huge light bulb, and everything is illuminated within a radius of dozens of meters, just with the color in his hand, all of them are transparent blue, and the blue is terrifying.

"Wow, that's beautiful!!" Looking at the energy mass in Wu Ling's hand, Xiao Yingying on the side couldn't help but exclaim. With a lot of curiosity in his eyes, didn't my brother have anything in his hand just now, and now why did he suddenly have such a beautiful gem. It's like touching it!

No matter how old a woman is, whether she is an old woman dying or a toddler waiting to be fed. They are to shiny things like dragons are to treasure collectors. There is no way to resist the temptation of these things. It's just that Xiao Yingying also knows that since her brother didn't give her the gem, she naturally has her brother's reason, and as a good sister, she can't embarrass her brother.

It's just that although she has thoughts in her heart, the anticipation in her eyes also betrays her thoughts.

Looking at Xiao Yingying's expression, Wu Ling smiled slightly, looking at the energy light cluster in his hand, which was under his control. The fist-sized mass of energy shrank rapidly, and the color became darker and darker, and finally shrunk to the size of a five-cent coin, and now the mass of energy still shone brightly. It's just that the color is gradually divided into layers, and the outermost part is still as bright as a night pearl, and the further inside, the darker the color.

All the way to the very center, the blue is as deep as a dark night, even if you look at it more. It seems that the soul can be absorbed by the black inside.

Such a thing cannot be regarded as a gift, and with a wave of his hand, the light in the energy mass disappeared in an instant, whether it was bright light. It's still a deep black, and it's all gone as if dreamlike, leaving only a faint blue.

And in between this wave of the hand. The energy mass seems to have completely stabilized, and there is no illusion just now. It was as if it had become solid and became a blue gem. And now if Wu Ling is willing. Holding such a gemstone, you can find it in the jewelry store, this is a real gemstone, no matter what the instrument examines on it, it is a gemstone, just like a gemstone in nature.

However, such a gemstone is a thousand times more precious than the gemstones of nature.

Finger pointed on the gem, the gem seemed to suddenly crack from the middle, a silver-white energy passed through this slit from Wu Ling's hand, Wu Ling lowered his head, and the gem in his hand floated towards Xiao Yingying. And Xiao Yingying is not like an ordinary child, she is probably scared when she sees such a situation.

But Xiao Yingying is different, although she has sealed part of her ability, but with her current energy fluctuations, the other party is not an ordinary person. Coupled with the deepest memories in her mind, she was not afraid of all this, but with a hint of eagerness to try. Looking at the energy gems floating over, Xiao Yingying's expression became happier and happier.

Eventually, the gem floated to Xiao Yingying's chest, and two silver rays of light passed through her neck and intertwined at the back of her neck, forming a pendant with silvery-white silk threads and blue gemstones.

Seeing that her brother really gave this gem to herself, Xiao Yingying immediately became happy, held Wu Ling's hand, and said in a coquettish voice: "Brother is so good!" ”

Touching Xiao Yingying's head, Wu Ling said: "As long as Xiao Yingying likes it!" ”

Wu Ling didn't tell Xiao Yingying what kind of thing it was, nor did he say how dangerous it was, but as long as Xiao Yingying liked it.

And looking at the white energy mass slowly floating in front of him, Wu Ling's eyes were even colder, these things that benefited ordinary people were now so dangerous in his eyes, even more dangerous than A-level super powerhouses.

And such a thing, it is impossible for the big guys above not to know, but the other party still came to Huaguo and used such a thing, which is a very dangerous thing, and it also shows the ruthlessness of those big guys.

The tradition of black conscience in Chinese officialdom is nothing more than cultural monopoly. tyrannical traditions. All the great man-made disasters artificially created by the rulers in history, such as the Holocaust, the Great Famine, the mass literary prison, the persecution fanaticism, and so on. Rulers throughout history have not only dismissed these calamities as disgraces, but have seen them as an important ruling resource to sustain their rule. As a result, new rulers are often happy to create some such man-made disasters from the start. These disasters are used to clearly tell the people that all disasters are still fresh in your memory, and you should be content with the status quo. It's a trick that throws you into the eighteenth layer of hell and then lifts you to the seventeenth, sixteenth. You should be happy to be able to stay on the top floors. Therefore, not only should you not complain, but you should be grateful, thanks to the Lord Ron. If you try to resist, the previous calamities are your example. The common people of China are living in such intimidation unmistakably.

In the East, even people of other nationalities know the importance and effectiveness of this kind of intimidation as a ruling resource. Hence the Mong. The massacre of the ancient empire. With the "Ten Days of Yangzhou" and "Three Massacres of Jiading" after the Manchus entered the customs. There was also the "South. The Beijing Massacre". Liang Qichao, who knows Dongying people quite well, has a passage: "Dongying people tasted the words and said: branch. That history is really a history filled with thick blood. I'm ashamed to say that. Although, I had to endure it. It can be used as a negative note to this fact.

After Tang Taizong completed the imperial examination system. once said proudly: "The heroes of the world are in my coffin." The imperial examination system for thousands of years has been used as a selection of officials. The means of encircling intellectuals have been successful. First of all, it put the Confucian scholars who "messed with the law with literature" on the shackle. It has become a mindset for the vast majority of intellectuals to "read the books of the sages and give them to the emperor's family". "There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book" has become the highest pursuit of life. As a result, it is difficult for the intellectual elite of China, as vassals of power, to produce intellectuals with independent personalities, independent spirits, and independent thoughts. In the elite officialdom, the elite has become the slave of power. Their ingenuity is widely used in "being officials". As a result, many traditional excellent cultures have been grafted and applied to the art of ruling and power. For example, the ancient soldiers summed up a large number of examples of stratagem. Basically, it was born around the theme of "never tired of cheating". This would have been beyond reproach in a life-and-death military struggle. However, later officialdom figures used it extensively in political struggles and in life struggles. Another example is the spirit of Tai Chi: "The appearance seems to be supple, good at dodging and liberation, and good at borrowing strength." dodged the attack and immediately turned to a ferocious attack". Some of the most sophisticated officialdom figures are simply the embodiment of this spirit. Everything is familiar to the heart and becomes a part of the body! The culture of power and conspiracy has become a kind of gene that has entered the power culture of China.

In traditional Chinese society. The bureaucratic group is an interest group with a strong sense of community. Although they are full of life-and-death contradictions and strife within themselves. However, their demands for the common interests of the whole society are clearly expressed in the unspoken rule of "officials protecting each other". This kind of black and white is right and wrong. There is no right and wrong, no moral judgment, and no "protection" of legal rules. It is an important officialdom logic.

Chinese officialdom. A large number of logics that contradict folk logic have been formed. The praise of the emperor, the mutual praise in the officialdom. Everything that can be connected and can't be connected. can be the subject of touting. So the singing and dancing were leveled, and the clamor of the peaceful and prosperous times was always endless. A large number of fleshy and hemp words such as "Shengshi Huazhang", "Shengshi Huayi", "Shengshi Huacai", "Shengshi Jijin", "Shengshi Huale", "Longfei Jiutian" and other fleshy and hemp words have been created. A little pitiful, at least social progress. They have all become auspicious clouds that fell from heaven because of the "Son of Heaven Shengming". Ignoring the facts, big and inappropriate boasting, shamelessly greedy for the merits of heaven for their own purposes, has become an important officialdom culture in China, and has become a scenery that China has all the time!

The systemic and institutional corruption that occurs in society at present is marked by the abuse of power. The system of state and social integration, which is pan-powered and pan-administrative, is the basis for the unprecedented vicious expansion of power. In this process of vicious expansion, the dregs of officialdom culture have risen and played a considerable leading role. As long as China retains its totalitarian power, no matter what political forces have it, the dregs of the deep-seated culture of corruption will inevitably emerge. A large number of conceptual forms, a large number of explicit rules, hidden rules, and a large number of bad habits and bad rules accumulated by officialdom culture. This kind of mainstream society is seriously alienated in terms of value orientation, moral code, code of conduct, and rules of the game. Not only does it affect the officialdom, but it also seriously corrupts civil society. It plays an immeasurable role as a bad example for the whole society. There is a massive decline in social morality. Counterfeiting and fraud, eagerness for quick success, and recklessness for the consequences are all related to the role of this evil model in mainstream society. The grave consequences of this evil have led to an unprecedented level of worship of power in our nation. An unprecedented vicious circle has been entered. This is a real national crisis!

At present, powerful political figures like emperors have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history. The power structure of officialdom has changed a lot, and absolute power is left to the supreme ruler personally. Cutting gradually to the first hand of the strip segmentation. Layoffs and transformations. As a result, "there are kings in the land of China", and the current popular advertising slogan "On my territory, listen to me" has become the most accurate expression of this situation, which is the disorderly decentralization of power within the system. This kind of separation of powers is unreasonable and procedural. It is precisely this disorderly decentralization within the system that has caused the entire society to be dominated by some oligarchs, large and small, and to develop corruption to the fullest, making it impossible to carry out the decentralization of power.

The political ecology of Chinese officialdom is to cause the traditional officialdom culture to sink up. The main reason for the intensification of the "flourishing". The officialdom elite always keeps pace with the times and leads the trend in terms of "figuring out" the monarch and figuring out fashion. Hence the degree of corruption in the officialdom. In fact, it is also a barometer of political clarity. The vicious development of systemic and systemic corruption has made political reform at the institutional level a very urgent topic.

When a society. The ideological resources of the ruling system are gradually exhausted, the system has come to an end, and the whole system can only be supported by violence and lies. The unspoken logic of officialdom is developed to the extreme by the deduction of self-talk, which is popular in a semi-public form. Mainstream public opinion is almost completely filled with clichés, lies, big words, empty words, and ruthless words. At this time, the transformation from unspoken officialdom to unspoken politics was completed. This state of society maintained by unspoken politics has caused the corrupt atmosphere to corrode society to an unprecedented degree. The characteristics of the apocalyptic times of the current historical period have been fully revealed. At this point, society will find no other way out than to carry out comprehensive and in-depth political reforms.

Liumang culture has had a long-term and far-reaching impact on China's power and cultural system. Its existence as a sub-culture of power culture is inevitably influenced by the influence of power ecology.

Huaguo's regular "long-term must be together." the historical pattern of "long-term must be divided"; The power structure that is constantly replacing, constantly changing. Giving elites from marginalized groups to participate in power struggles provides a historical opportunity and a historical stage. Without the historical process of marginalized groups regularly entering the mainstream society, there would be no Liumang culture.

It's a culture that is easily overlooked by researchers. This process of cultural hybridization produced by the entry of marginalized groups into the mainstream society is different from the substitution process that occurs within the mainstream society. Due to the very different living environment and state of existence. In terms of value orientation, aesthetic taste, moral code, game rules, code of conduct and other aspects. There are many different manifestations. Therefore, the cultural variation produced by this process of cultural hybridization cannot be ignored. In addition, because this kind of cultural hybridization has occurred many times in the history of China, (in addition to the cultural hybridization process produced by the minority people in the Han society), it has had a far-reaching impact on the formation of China's power culture, and it is still profoundly affecting the social life of China. Therefore. It is necessary to seriously analyze and study it.

When it comes to Liumang culture, it involves the origin, and it cannot be traced back to the ancient ranger class. Sima Qian's "Historical Records. There is a description in the "Legend of the Ranger": "Now the Ranger. Although his deeds are not in the course of justice, he will believe his words. Its deeds must be fruitful, and its promises must be sincere. If you don't love your body, you will go to the misfortune of the soldiers". Through this passage, we can know that the ancient ranger characters, chivalrous and righteous, helping the needy, honest and courageous, even at the cost of their lives, are the common characteristics of their personality charm. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as: Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, Gu Zhizi, Zhuan Zhu, Yao Li, Nie Zheng, Jing Ke and others, as well as the Zhu family and Guo Xie in the early Han Dynasty, all belonged to this category of figures. At the time, the strength of the personality of these outstanding people of marginal society. It contrasts with the personality strength of the aristocratic elite of the mainstream society, such as the four princes of the Warring States period, Xinlingjun, Meng Weijun, Pingyuanjun, and Chunshenjun. The death of Tian Heng and his 500 subordinates is the event that best reflects this spiritual remnant. It can be seen that in that era, whether it was the elite of the mainstream society or the marginal society, it was the social fashion to pursue a kind of personality perfection. There are many similarities in demeanor, but the performance is different because of the difference in social status and environment.

At present, only when the society remains relatively primitive in remote or minority areas has it retained some of its honest and upright demeanor. This is the helplessness and sorrow of human society at a certain stage of development. However, with the emergence and perfection of institutional guarantees, there should be a comprehensive process of moral return to these qualities of human truth, goodness and beauty. In China, due to historical and cultural reasons, the process of improving the system and returning to morality is particularly difficult and long. Of course, this is again off-topic.

Let's return to the topic of this chapter: "Liumang Culture". With the development of history, the social and historical pattern of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period has gone forever. Beginning with the Qin Dynasty, through the perfection of the Han Dynasty, Hua entered a highly centralized feudal autocracy. system society. The supremacy of imperial power is always ironclad and unchangeable. The more the mainstream society is dependent on people, and the means of power struggle are becoming more and more despicable and evil. Deception, narcotics, and severe punishment are each other's methods of domination. All this has led to the erosion of the climate of social justice in society as a whole. The aristocratic temperament and aristocratic demeanor of the mainstream society have almost disappeared. The role of a bad model in the concept of behavior. It's getting worse. The elite of the marginal society, due to the need for an existential struggle. It is more susceptible to the influence of this negative effect and changes oneself. The ranger figures, as a class, gradually withdrew from the stage of history. The Ranger culture was also gradually replaced by the Liumang culture. It turns out that the leaders of the marginalized groups stand out above the group with their morality, wisdom, personality strength of will, and heroic spirit, and become a considerable force of personality inspiration. Later, due to the poor living environment and living conditions, they were mixed with the vices of the bottom of the society, and exercised a unique cunning and hypocrisy. The personality charm of "Timely Rain Song Jiang" is obviously inferior to that of the Zhu family, Guo Xie and others. This is the Liumang culture, which originates from the Ranger culture. But it stops at the historical reasons of the rogue culture.

Of course, this is not to say that there are no chivalrous characters and chivalrous personalities in Huaguo. To this day, there are still heroes in Chinese society who have a unique fierce temperament, dare to face ugliness, and stand up to fight grievances. But in today's world, it is becoming increasingly difficult for their individual actions to evoke a group effect. As a result, it is inevitable that it will become more and more Don Quixote. Not to mention the fact that they find it difficult to participate in power struggles. It is difficult to become a leader in a marginalized group. And it is often frustrated and hit, so it is not on our list. If they participate in the traditional power struggle as leaders of marginalized groups, their personality will inevitably change from chivalrous personality to liumang personality. This echoes Acton's words: "Power easily corrupts." "The corrosive effect of power on personality is so strong!

Constantly replaced. The socio-historical mechanism of constant revolution. This has made Chinese society prone to irrational political fanaticism. This is a sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the Chinese nation. This kind of political fanaticism has recurred in the history of China. As mentioned earlier, it is because of the crisis accumulation mechanism of society. The living environment and living conditions of civil society are getting worse and worse. After being treated injustice by the mainstream society, the disadvantaged groups will develop an antisocial psychology that is hostile to the mainstream society. This kind of mentality, in the personal state, will be manifested as indiscriminate revenge without talking about the object; In a group state. After the repeated disappointments of the "Ming lord and clean officials", they will turn to the heroes who rise up. I hope for a savior who will hold high the banner of revenge and fight violence with violence. Politics. The cyclical change of rights has left marginalized groups vulnerable in society. This cathartic "" is almost always expected periodically.

If it is said that "there is a tyrant hidden in the heart of every Chinese man". That's a mean way to say it. Well, from the point of view of cultural tradition and subconscious. Chinese people's specialization. The strong sense of hatred. The primordial impulse of bloodlust and the depth of the tradition of disregard for life, in this sense. This is not unreasonable.

The black whirlwind Li Kui in "Water Margin" is a highly symbolic character. Two plate axes, regardless of the object, split the surface and cut off. The "black whirlwind" is an unreasonable wind; It is a wind without reason and irrationality, that is, a whirlwind blown by the Liumang class. It is a pure weapon critique of the corrupt mainstream society, a purely rebellious reaction. The so-called peasant uprisings of the past dynasties basically fall into this category. For example, Huang Chao, Zhang Xianzhong and others, the thirst for killing has become their main performance. In this way, the history of China has periodically staged the tyranny of tyrants and the tyranny of mobs. In modern times, the Boxers have simply become the supreme ruler of decay and ignorance, a tool to deal with the changing world. The tyranny of the tyrant, here in the form of the tyranny of the mob. To the modern "text. During the "Revolution" period, this tyranny in the form of mob tyranny was staged again. Many people in urban and rural areas across the country, as well as officials at all levels, up to the state president, have been mercilessly persecuted and tortured by the "dictatorship of the masses"!

This kind of "violent revolution" that counters violence with violence is a "violent revolution" based on tyranny. system against dictatorship. The effort of the system, the harvest is almost certainly specialized. System. The savior is actually one step away from the devil. And almost certainly into a demon. This is the dialectic of history, and the history of China has always proved this.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted and overthrew the rule of the Qin Dynasty, and Liu Bang won the power struggle and became emperor. These historical facts have greatly encouraged the confidence of the elites in the marginalized groups to participate in the power struggle. Since then, the history of replacing Dingge in successive dynasties has continuously strengthened this desire. When the time comes, these elites are often no longer satisfied with vassalage status, but are willing to participate in the battle for victory.

The Chu and Han dynasties in the history of China competed. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's struggle for power, the performance process of the two is quite symbolic and typical. Xiang Yu, who was born in the nobility of the Chu State, and Liu Bang, who was born in the lower class, have their own characteristics. Xiang Yu bravely crowned the three armies. It is known for its bravery, so it has the upper hand from the start. And Liu Bang is scheming. Late strike. Xiang Yu has the kindness of a woman and is not good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates and strategists, but basically abides by the rules of the game. Liu Bang is particularly able to hide his scheming and stand by to move. He can also be humble and good at employing people. At that time, Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Han Xin, Cao Shen, etc. were all used by him. Liu Bang is the big goal of winning the struggle for power. can even be stoic to the point that when Xiang Yu wants to cook his father, he can be calm to the point of asking for a piece of the pie. In the end, Xiang Yu could only end up with Wujiang killing himself.

The result of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's struggle for power. It is a symbolic result of the history of power struggles in China. From the reverse side, it reflects the words of Confucius: "A gentleman can deceive his side". From then on, the "gentleman" who abides by the code of ethics, follows the code of conduct, and the rules of the game. In the power struggle, he will be defeated by the scoundrel and the villain. Xiang Yu is basically a true gentleman. Be honest and abide by the rules. And Liu Bang is a hypocrite and a real villain. It's hypocritical, it's a scoundrel. This can be seen in a series of his performances. Especially from his satisfaction with his ambition after winning the world, from his performance of eliminating dissidents and indiscriminately killing heroes, all of them have been proven. He doesn't really have any moral integrity. does not abide by the rules of the game, and sometimes even does not hesitate to show a complete liumang face.

Some people say that Xiang Yu's self-slaughter of the Wujiang River symbolizes the last real nobleman of Huaguo. Demise in spirit and body. Because since then, the mainstream society of China has been honest and resolute, and the atmosphere of cherishing reputation more than life has gradually disappeared. There is some truth to this.

And Liu Bang's personality can be summed up by false benevolence, false righteousness, scoundrels and no deeds. Thus establishing the image of the first Liumang emperor of China. From now on. Hypocrisy, hypocrisy, and scoundrels have become the mainstream discourse of mainstream society in China. In this sense, Liu Bang's ascension to power is also a symbol. It symbolizes the aristocratic bearing of the mainstream society of China and the end of aristocratic demeanor.

And Huaguo, which is the birthplace of oriental civilization, this end is very sad. A country, especially a large unified country with a large population and a long civilization. In its mainstream society, there is no part of the elite, who always adheres to the nobility of his personality, the elegance of his bearing, and the distinctness of judgment of right and wrong; No one insists on cherishing reputation, valuing integrity, and having benevolence and compassion; No one maintains the demeanor of daring to kill and sacrifice their lives for righteousness. Instead, servility, meanness, deceit, and greed dominate. In a society, if there is no part of the elite, it often plays a leading role as the social conscience and justice. Its mainstream culture will inevitably lose the direction of healthy development.

Emperor Liumang in the history of China, such as Liu Bang, Zhu Yuanzhang and others. They come from humble beginnings and their seizure of power. The process of power is a process in which military and political struggles are intertwined. It is a process of intrigue, treachery, deception, killing and destruction. It is also a process of turning from a person at the bottom of society who has nothing to an emperor who is rich in the world. The mood of these founding emperors was the mood of contentment and fear of loss, and the mindset was still the pattern of constant struggle. They are triumphant and empty-eyed at the nouveau riche who dominate mainstream society. It is intertwined with the inferiority complex formed by the congenital lack of cultural accomplishment.

These people often have no attachment to historical inheritance, but they have an obsession with power. They fight for politics. The process of power took advantage of the hatred of the lower classes of the people and comrades-in-arms against the original old society. He has waged an arduous struggle against the same enemy. He has also put forward a large number of incendiary and demagogic slogans. Among them are many seizures of government. Promises that cannot or are not ready to be fulfilled after the right. But after the change of status, his first consideration must be to maintain his position of absolute power. This complex situation and complex mood determine his cultural and emotional contradictions. Zhu Yuanzhang is such an emperor who has the "nature of a sage and thief, and both". In fact, this kind of characterization is still a kind of characterization based on the position of Confucianism. His character traits are actually brutal, tyrannical, despicable, suspicious, murderous, and unkind. In his bones, he is a multiple personality composed of liumang, thief, and tyrant personality.

It is some such figures who have destroyed the traditional culture of China again and again. This destruction, defined culturally, can be called a countercultural movement. Of course, this kind of counter-cultural movement does not only occur when marginalized people enter the mainstream society, but also when other national cultures invade. For example, the first major counter-cultural movement in China took place in the Qin Dynasty, when ethnic minorities in the border areas came to dominate the Central Plains. The climax of counterculture was reached with the act of burning books and pit Confucianism

However, the entry of elites from the marginalized groups into mainstream society has produced a countercultural movement that is different from the countercultural movement produced by foreign invasions. It will have a greater impact on the moral code, code of conduct, and rules of the game of the original society. It also affects the original value orientation, aesthetic taste and other conceptual forms to a greater extent. This wave of counterculture is strong and weak, large and small, of varying degrees and manifestations. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang retained the status of Confucianism, which worshiped Confucius. However, the god of Mencius, the second founder of Confucianism, was moved out of the Confucian Temple, which was the temple of Confucianism. Another example is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Hong Xiuquan can sweep away all other sects, including Confucius, Mencius, and Confucianism. Religion is denounced as a demon and only retains its status as a god-worshipping religion. It is possible to comprehensively change the original social order and life order in the political, economic, and cultural aspects. Even couples in the Taiping army were even forbidden to have sex in order to demonstrate their authority and contempt for the old order.

An artist, if he claims to be "lawless". This can be understood as a confession of not abiding by the law and not abiding by the old rules. It is a declaration of striving for new breakthroughs in art. A political leader. If you face the world media, you will openly declare that you are "a monk with an umbrella, and there is no hair (law) and no law". It is precisely his ambition at the pinnacle of power that is discredited. and in his mind, there is no legal constraint, no code of conduct, no rules of the game, no moral code, only the inner world of willfulness. What will be brought to the country and the people will inevitably be endless disasters. The "Cultural Revolution" was the most typical counter-cultural movement under the control of such a mentality, with the Cultural Revolution as the appearance and the power struggle as the essence. In the history of China, this kind of counter-cultural movement has appeared continuously, but to different degrees, which has led to a sense of disintegration in the disorganized circulation of Chinese history and culture. As a result, the Chinese people are at a loss in terms of concepts, forms, rules and norms. As a result, Chinese society has often become a society that has lost its anomie. The only thing that is circulating in an orderly and stubborn way is the culture of power!

Liumang culture is by no means simply manifested as the scoundrels and inaction of certain groups of people at the bottom of society. Sometimes it will enter the house with the mass entry of marginalized people into mainstream society, and it will break out viciously. In some historical periods, it will even become a dominant part of the main culture of a society. When the ideal color generated by demagogy is completely shattered, power and money will become the only goal and excitement to pursue. Ignorance, shamelessness, and unscrupulousness can become the capital and resources of the war. All the evil, sin, and immoral means of the world can be used as weapons. To play clever and succeed for a while. Clearly revealing the momentum of "behind me, even if the flood is monstrous". Regardless of any dire consequences that may arise. So, he thinks that in this way, he can let the weak accept his rule and bullying forever. You can make the strong fearful and concerned about his meanness. It is precisely under the domination of this ideology that corruption, ugliness, and sin are unscrupulously publicized at the public level of society, openly challenging justice. In this way, in Beijing, someone openly took out a puppet statement with the title of the book written as a writer: "I am liumang, who am I afraid of?" ”

This manifesto is a clear indication of the dominance of Liumang's culture. Chinese people have always had a particularly strong ability to figure out, understand, and spy on the situation. As a result, liumang's behavior at all levels of society has become popular. The moral code and the rules of the game are nothing but nothing in the minds of some people in the power and interest fields. This is an important reason why the current society is becoming more and more anomie. Liumang culture, as a part of the power culture, has a far-reaching influence and a serious erosion of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, which can be seen! (To be continued......)
