Chapter 260: The Fairy Tale Master is Born

"I will send an honest old minister to the weavers." The Emperor thought, "He can best see what this cloth looks like, for he is very sensible, and no one is better than him in this regard." ”

The good old minister came to the house of the two crooks and saw them busy working on the empty loom.

"May God have mercy on me!" The old minister thought, and he opened his eyes very wide, "I don't see anything!" But he didn't dare to say it.

The two crooks begged him to come closer, and pointed to the two empty looms and asked him if the patterns were beautiful and the colors were beautiful. The poor old minister's eyes widened wider and wider, and he still could not see anything, for there was indeed nothing.

"Oh my God!" He thought, "Am I stupid?" I never doubted myself. This must not be made known. Am I incompetent? Not! I must not let people know that I can't see the fabric. ”

"Hey, don't you have any opinions?" Said a crook who was weaving.

"Oops, it's beautiful! It's beautiful! The old minister said as he looked carefully through his glasses, "What a beautiful pattern! What a beautiful color! Yes, I am going to present it to the Emperor, and I am very satisfied with this cloth. ”

……

"The Emperor's New Clothes" is written with twists and turns, which is even more novel than a novel.

The kindest and honest minister, in order not to be called stupid and incompetent, was willing to be deceived by a liar, and also decided to deceive the emperor.

Immediately afterwards, another minister fell, and they all told the emperor that they had seen the clothes, and how beautiful their countenances were.

When he saw this, Fang Xuan, a literary critic, moved in his heart, and a certain string in his heart seemed to be touched. I don't know why, I don't dare to despise fairy tales anymore.

This is just a fairy tale for children, and it can almost be said to be a model article of irony against social phenomena!

Fang Xuan watched it with anticipation, and when the emperor was deceived by all the ministers, he also began to deceive himself and stripped naked. Put on clothes that don't exist at all and start parading the streets!

……

And so the Emperor marched under the splendid canopy. The people standing in the street and in the windows said, "Good boy! The emperor's new clothes are really beautiful! How beautiful the hem under his shirt was! This dress really fits his figure! "No one wants to let anyone know that they can't see anything, because that would show that they are incompetent or stupid. All the emperor's clothes have never received such praise.

……

Seeing this, Fang Da criticized him and wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, his heart was much duller, and he looked at it hard, and the ending finally came:

"But he didn't have any clothes on!" A little kid screamed at last.

"Oh God. You listen to this innocent voice! Dad said. So everyone whispered what the boy had said.

"He's not wearing anything! One kid said he wasn't wearing anything! ”

"He's really not wearing any clothes!" In the end, all the common people said. The Emperor trembled a little, for he felt that what the people were saying seemed to be true. But he thought to himself, "I must finish this procession." So he put on a more proud look, and his courtiers followed him, holding a skirt that didn't exist.

……

The ending is very clever, it is the structure of the novel, and it also has the flavor of a novel.

In this ending, it is sad to say that it is sad, and to say that it is spicy is spicy.

Everyone is inferior to a child!

NaΓ―ve child. The truth of the matter is revealed!

But even if all the people said so. The emperor still thought that clothes existed, and in order to carry out the ceremony of parades and marches, his ministers also accompanied him down, dragging a non-existent back skirt in their hands.

After reading it, Fang Xuan fell silent.

He finally found out why people on the Internet are clamoring that fairy tales can also have connotations. I can understand why they say that "The Emperor's New Clothes" is an educational fairy tale.

As a literary critic, and a person who has always advocated the mainstream value of literature, Fang Xuan can't find a place to criticize this fairy tale at all.

Even if he was tough enough to pull it, it was almost a small flaw that didn't hurt or itch. It didn't do much for Suvin. Besides, he criticized other people's fairy tales for having no value, and people published fairy tales with irony the next day, how can he refute this?

Not to mention refutation, as soon as this fairy tale came out, Fang Xuan could imagine how his peers would praise it.

In fact, this fairy tale has the value and significance of ordinary children's stories.

The story of "The Emperor's New Clothes" is very simple, and it is just a story written in an interesting way: a luxurious king who only cares about wearing clothes every day, regardless of anything else, is actually deceived and wears ...... No, nothing to wear to the parade! No one debunked the lie, or even boasted, that it took the innocent words of the last child to end the farce.

What is the cause of this farce?

Undoubtedly, vanity!

For the sake of this so-called vanity, the people, courtiers, and even kings of the whole world are willingly deceived by others. They are willingly deceived by others, and they are also deceived by others with peace of mind. The two liars in the fairy tale succeeded because they saw a blind spot in people's hearts - voluntarily exposing this Achilles heel of themselves to others and letting them use it, as well as the satisfaction of vanity.

In fact, vanity is rejected from life, but vanity in childhood is simple, and as it deepens into the world, vanity corrodes people more and more. In the end, when that innocent child told the truth, didn't he ask people to maintain their innocent and romantic childlike innocence and dare to tell the truth!

Such an idea, such a brushstroke, simply poke at the weakness of those critics who claim to be the representative of human justice, how can they not let them scream like chicken blood?

Fang Xuan understood this, so he didn't dare to rashly criticize Su Wen's fairy tales.

He was silent for a long time, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll make you proud for the time being, I can't do the fairy tales you write have such a level." You wait! Someday I'm going to grab your whip and criticize it severely! ”

Fang Da critics confessed.

He waited, but after waiting for several days, he didn't get the chance.

Instead, Su Wen continued to publish his fairy tales, "The Emperor's New Clothes" followed by "Little Red Riding Hood", and then "The Little Match Girl".

When "The Little Match Girl" came out, all readers were in a sensation, especially after Wang Wang once again published a review related to Su Wen, and the genre of fairy tales entered the topic of discussion in the entire literary circle.

The title of Wang Wang's article is quite terrifying, and it is directly called "The Birth of a Fairy Tale Master!" 》。

For the first time, he called Su Wen "Master of Fairy Tales"! (To be continued.) )
