Chapter 314: Ah Q's ingenuity

Wu Wei was deeply inspired by the Buddhist idea of self-evident and self-sufficient mental nature, and gave a new meaning to Ah Q's spiritual victory method, and he believed that Ah Q's thinking, which is generally hidden in the wisdom of the people, is a kind of precious mental ingenuity, which he boldly used to compile into the mental structure of sending and receiving freely, enriching the idea of mental structure, and also making the mental method he proposed closer to the spiritual life of ordinary people.

In Wu Wei's field of vision, from the perspective of the free sending and receiving of the heart, and then observing the Ah Q-style way of thinking, a high degree of wisdom flashed everywhere to deal with the heart and realize peace of mind, which made him more deeply understand the peaceful character of the Chinese people, know how to collect the heart, and be good at dealing with the problem of heart collection to achieve peace of mind.

Ah Q has a spiritual victory method, and when he talks and moves with others, he always suffers a lot of losses, including Wang Hu and Xiao D, who he despises the most, and he can't take advantage of it, but under the spiritual comfort of "son beats Lao Tzu" and "you are not worthy", he won contentedly. He twisted the little nun's cheek in public, causing the connoisseurs to laugh, and he was so proud that he could not sleep at the table. Because he wanted to sleep with the maid of the Zhao family, Wu Ma, he was severely beaten by his master, and no one in Weizhuang dared to hire him to work for a short time, so he lost his livelihood and had to go to the city to make a living. Originally, he stole some property through guò, but he returned to the village to "pretend to be wide" and was respected by the villagers. Seeing that the old man was afraid of the revolutionary party, he was inevitably fascinated and happy, and he also wanted to rebel, and his so-called revolution was "I am what I want, and whoever I like is whoever I like". I originally wanted to make a revolution, but I mistakenly voted for the "fake foreign devils" who speculated on the revolution and was rejected: "No revolution!" Later, he was falsely accused of being a robber and was shot, angry that the painting was not round, and he was ashamed that he did not sing in the street and only said half a sentence, "It's another one after 20 years". The ** method used by Ah Q can be called a typical and extreme ** method, which has long been ridiculed by people and regarded as a profound demonstration of the weakness of the people. It is regarded as a symbol of the tragic fate of the nation. Since Lu Xun launched this character, no one seems to have put forward any affirmation and appreciation for this spiritual victory method.

If the method of spiritual victory expresses a nation's mental tendency, then it must have its social basis and rational connotation. Otherwise, today, when the Chinese people are already well aware of and familiar with the "inferior roots" of the Spiritual Victory Method, they will not still follow this method to regulate spiritual contradictions. For example, in the face of all kinds of misfortunes in life, such as unemployment, laid-off, lovelorn, divorce, loss of relatives, hindered promotion, etc., whether it is you, me or him, the way to get rid of it is "want to open up", "you don't want to be like him", "if you can't think of it, you punish yourself for other people's mistakes", "pressure is actually a straw", "like Ah Q, I think about the good when I encounter things", and so on. Even the unfortunate thing was spread as a blessing. For example, a 40-year-old man has the so-called three fortunate things: "promotion, wealth, and death of his wife", and there is a young cadre whose wife was killed at home, and he was also suspected of being a hired murderer. There are even more people who have been scolded as landlords, and they actually hit back with "your grandfather can't be if you want to be it", and now he is corrupt, "you are not qualified to be corrupt if you want to". Why is this kind of Ah Q way of thinking prevalent in our time? Isn't this question worth pondering!? According to the evolutionary rules of Darwinian evolution, which is "if you don't use it, you will waste it" and "if you use it up, you will waste it", if the spiritual victory method is useless, I am afraid that it will be forgotten by people long ago, and it will be impossible to show its infinite charm of saving people from fire and water everywhere in life.

Although the outward appearance of the Spiritual Victory Law is not flattering. But it does contain the reasonable connotation of "music quotient". What is striking is that no one has ever proposed the concept of "music quotient", but its content has been preserved in the well-known method of spiritual victory. Lu Xun's Ah Q has a depressed life, the image of helplessness, formlessness, and scoundrels. He may be a poor scoundrel in the eyes of today's people, but he is such a person who also expresses a strong pursuit and desire for a happy life: when he is hungry, he steals turnips; Full of lust. He also wants to "sleep" with women and put it into action; Although he didn't know anything about the revolution, he also figured out how to change his life situation, but in the end, this pursuit fell into a situation where he could not be separated from all sides. We can imagine that if Ah Q did not have this spirit, in this tragic life situation, he would have fallen into another tragic fate, such as frustration, pain, despair, and even madness, and even suicide. The method of spiritual victory is to pass guò's special mental ability, illusory conception and imagination of one's own advantages, the more typical is that Ah Q is obviously beaten and angry, originally unable to beat others, after the others left, get up and pat the buttocks, Tong guò "son beats Lao Tzu" and "you are not worthy" so thought, suddenly adjust himself from the bad mood after being beaten; Obviously about to be beheaded, he comforted himself with the thought that "it will be a ...... after twenty years", and he was ashamed to say only half a sentence. This kind of illusory imagination, for the imaginer, has the function of satisfying, transferring, and substituting in the real sense.

Imagining and imagining to resolve the oppression of life and the mental pain of life is a common tendency expressed by the poor in the ancient agricultural society, but the stereotype of Tongguò as a method of spiritual victory contains rich academic content. Lu Xun's portrayal of real characters in "The True Story of Ah Q" artistically demonstrates the various characteristic expressions of the spiritual victory method. It requires not only imagination, but also a specific mental capacity, the ability to psychologically place oneself in an advantageous position. In modern society, it is on the basis of scientific analysis and argumentation that people generally use this method to form psychological advantages, enhance confidence, and adopt appropriate strategies and means to transform them into practical advantages. It's just that in Ah Q's time, this kind of psychological advantage is a reflection of detachment from reality and even the reversal of reality, but it does not rule out that it can produce a psychological effect of self-satisfaction, and the psychological ability to let go of all the misfortunes that have encountered oneself.

The spiritual victory method expressed in Ah Q's body can only be called a kind of peace of mind

Extreme, low-level form of expression. He is the heart of everything that fails, which is also the sad thing about Ah Q. Because he only has this mental ability, but he does not have the abundant intelligence endowed by other social civilizations, it is difficult to achieve success in everything, which reflects his historical limitations. People often say that self-comfort is self-regulation in a state of helplessness. This kind of "music quotient" is a negative, heart-returning adjustment path. This is due to the extremely irrational social system of reality and the lack of effective ability of human beings to improve their own situation, which is the expression of the distortion and ugliness of people's pursuit of happiness and joy in a specific environment. The result of this adjustment is the formation of a sharp contradiction between the inner self-satisfaction of the person and the external tragedy, which finally ends with the destruction of the characters. Even so. It also avoids the fate of self-destruction of the characters, which is also the rational core of the spiritual victory method and the foundation of the lasting vitality and effectiveness of the expression. With the development of society, the progress of the times, and the evolution of mental ability, the connotation and function of this rational kernel have been positively enriched and strengthened.

Wu Wei noticed that while giving some affirmation to the spirit of Ah Q, we should also pay attention to the question of how to deal with Lu Xun's critical spirit. To justify the spirit of Ah Q, we cannot avoid the strict question of how to treat Lu Xun.

The reason for this acute problem is that for a long time, people have been opposing the strong heroic spirit and tough guy character of Lu Xun's expression of "horizontal eyebrows and cold fingers to a thousand people" with the optimistic spiritual qualifications implied by Ah Q's spiritual victory method, and even through Lu Xun's heroic spirit to contrast the humility of Ah Q's spiritual victory method. The spiritual victory method of Ah Q is regarded as the embodiment and symbol of the so-called national inferiority. The tragedy of its fate is lamented and angry. Further, according to the discourse at that time, it was the fundamental lack of emphasis in the national cultural mentality, and in contemporary language, it was called the genetic defect of heavy dà, which was difficult to correct, and it was precisely because it was not easy to correct that the spiritual victory method was inherited and inherited by the younger generations, and multiplied and developed into a musical cultural style. In contemporary times, it is regarded by Ah Q's children and grandchildren as an effective spiritual weapon to deal with layoffs, broken love, divorce, disability, illness, schooling, bankruptcy and other changes. People attach great importance to absorbing Lu Xun's glorious heroic spirit, and despise even a special mental ability contained in the spiritual victory method of Ah Q, that is, the ability to be good at quickly transforming any bad state of mind and state of mind into a pleasant experience. It's just that in Ah Q's body, due to the lack of knowledge and the support and protection of a civilized and developed social system. caused him to run into walls everywhere in reality, but his optimistic personality led to a tragedy of fate. Even today, such mental faculties are often foolishly used to prank foolishness and cause disaster. We have every reason to believe that modern society. It is necessary and more likely to merge the spirits of the two to form a new personality qualification and generally improve people's ability to adapt to complex social realities. and increase the likelihood of success. This is a new academic interpretation of Wu Wei's spirit of Lu Xun and the spirit of Ah Q.

In fact, the "Lu Xun Spirit" and the "Ah Q Spirit" are originally brothers, and they should be allowed to join hands. The so-called brothers, one is the heart, Lu Xun is the heart, the spirit of the hero to save the world, the other is the heart of the heart, rest assured, Ah Q is the representative of the heart, rest assured, there is a heart and a heart, is the expression of the maturity of the people's wisdom. In the face of increasing social pressure today, we must not only carry forward Lu Xun's heroic spirit, but also truly correct Ah Q's spiritual victory, so that Lu Xun's heroic spirit and Ah Q's optimistic spirit will be integrated, enhance the flexibility of our own personality qualifications, develop a sound psychological mechanism, better face our own life, and achieve a happy life.

After a thousand years, Su Shi is extremely energetic and easy to be interested in various things in life. He is good at poetic processing of life, and realizes the artistic conception of poetic life and poetic life. The poems draw on a wide range of materials, including natural landscapes, people and events, customs and folk feelings, joys, sorrows, and philosophical discussions. Poetry can be sent at any time, everywhere is poetry, and it is extremely written about the world and the world. His straightforward and optimistic temperament is a classic figure of musical culture. He is willful and carefree, and he has become a conscious and persistent pursuit of character, and he has something to say, because of the poem, he suffers from disaster, and once the danger passes, he can't control himself. It's really temperamental. has a status and feels that it is fun to play a role that others cannot play; Losing one's identity and status, and finding that one is free from the burden of responsibility, is even more joyful. Advance is also happy, retreat is also happy; Rich and poor; Coke everything, Coke everywhere. Happiness is born from the heart, discovering the joy, feeling the joy, and being happy everywhere. It's really authentic and worthy of the name. The health was not good, and the court deprived him of Yulu, and he couldn't get mutton, so he had to buy lamb backbones, boil soup and remove meat, pick and pick, and even cut out the music, and improvised a poem. The stomach was empty, but the pleasure in the heart was undiminished. It's a lot of fun. Outwitted for fun, good at fighting. Joy is fundamentally the expression of the vitality of the life force. Strong vitality, full of energy, and full of interest in all kinds of things. The nature of happiness is conscious, metaphysical, and organizes one's behavior into a more beautiful and metaphysical spiritual realm, creating an eternal spiritual paradise. Confucius said that if there is a way in the world, it will be revealed, and if there is no way, it will be hidden. He also accepted Zhuangzi's idea of leisure, looked down on the success and failure of the world, put aside worldly troubles, gave up limited attachments, and integrated into the eternity of nature, and was influenced by Buddhism. However, he does not reject reality, and maintains a relationship of inseparability and inexorability. Joining the WTO will anoint the people, and retreating will be happy. A qiē is artistically processed. Wonderful understanding of the true meaning of life, a limited thing will pass, so the indifference to the encounter of all kinds of limited things determines a transcendent tone. The pursuit of a fairyland philosophy of life, but only by reason, but also need mental and physical training. Su Shi's interest in drinking is stronger and more constant. Wine gives rise to art, like Li Baidou's hundreds of poems, wine stimulates passion, and at the same time plays a role in covering up the gaffes and true feelings after the sin of alcohol. The wine realm made him form a kind of artistic conception and approached the realm of immortals.

Wu is not like this, he has a deep understanding of the mystery of sending and receiving freely, so that he can unify the spirit of Lu Xun and the spirit of Ah Q, feel very cordial to Lu Xun and Ah Q, and transcend time and space to get close to Su Shi, who is thousands of years away, and absorb spiritual nourishment. He has done his best to contribute to the society with all his contributions, even if he has achieved nothing, it is much stronger than those who are lazy and slippery, and he can feel at ease when he lies under the nine springs, so as to comfort himself, and he really gained peace of mind and overcame that impatient fame. For example, when you hear the noise, you will use it to talk about it or not, whether others can understand it, accept it, and whether it can be effective. In the Dharma taught by Buddhist masters, how can they not comfort themselves with such mental methods. (To be continued......)
