"Vulgar online novels" should be rectified
One.
Economy is the foundation, politics is the concentrated embodiment of the economy, and culture is the reaction of economy and politics. I don't want to use topics such as "since the reform and opening up, the economy has advanced by leaps and bounds, politics tends to be democratic, science and technology have progressed, the times are changing with each passing day, and commercialization has become an inevitable trend in the development of popular literature" as a wedge, so as to let you understand the reasons why online literature can exist and flourish in our times, and then lay the groundwork for the view that "vulgar online novels should be rectified". I'm a straightforward person.
Those who follow the times prosper, and those who go against the times die. In a large sense, online literature is an inevitable product of the role of society; in a small aspect, online literature is the inevitable result of high demand, which is not only "a good helper for teenagers to relieve adolescent restlessness when they are bored and confused—after all, online novels are more acceptable to parents than video games"; Set aside two hours of precious time to watch a movie) is a great way to get a pastime.
I do not deny the positive role of online literature, because it enriches our lives, expands our horizons and imagination, and also allows us to come into contact with the "Four Books and Five Classics", "Twenty-four History", and "Tang and Song Poems, Yuanqu Four Famous Works" Moreover, online literature provides a very broad platform, which allows everyone to have the possibility of becoming a writer: you only need to find a website, register a pen name, fill in the relevant information, and do not violate laws and regulations, your works can be displayed———— which is different from the traditional way of writing and the way of communication of paper media, which greatly stimulates the vitality of the whole people's reading and creation, which is of course a kind of progress, a breakthrough, and a new era of atmosphere.
Two.
There are two sides to everything. Those who can read this article have a certain degree of understanding of the online literature industry, and also have a basic understanding of the current situation of online novels. The forest is big, what bird doesn't?
I don't want to use annoying words such as "online novels are a typical representative of literary commercialization, with the purpose of making profits and not attaching importance to artistic value", "the online literary world is mixed, and some indiscriminate writers do everything to attract attention", "the inherent limitations, spontaneity, blindness, and encounters of market regulation" and other annoying words to explain the necessity of "rectifying vulgar online novels————", some things are not needed, inconvenient, and do not need to be explained. An adult should establish a healthy outlook on life and values.
I didn't want to write such an article, because I'm a very loose person, and I don't care about this "large-scale rectification of online literature", anyway, I'm in Zongheng, Jinjiang, Red Sleeves, and a few novels that are being serialized or have been completed are no problem, what does it matter to me?
But I saw that many banned writers, writers who removed their works, and their fans continued to express their dissatisfaction, and the circle of friends was filled with a foul smell for a week, and they emphasized: "No matter how a cultural product is recognized, first of all, it is an entertainment product, it is built on creative freedom, and it must be entertaining for readers to watch it, and the censorship is too dead...... The Celestial Empire engages in ideological imprisonment...... I sincerely feel sad for these indignant youths who have turned black and white upside down, unable to distinguish between advanced and backward, and have even gone too far to take due examination and rectification into a kind ......of "ideological imprisonment." I sincerely feel sad for these indignant youths, and I am afraid that only by taking revenge on society can they vent their inner dissatisfaction.
"A cultural work is first and foremost an entertainment product" is not in their cognitive view, culture is entertainment? Can creative freedom be above the law? Can freedom of speech be built on the basis of poisoning other people's thoughts? If there is no entertainment and emphasis on realistic cultural works, will no readers read them?
What's even more unbelievable is that those writers who have been banned have taken "progress of the times", "freedom and democracy", and "easy to understand" as the starting point, and have been thieves and have repeatedly labeled their vulgar works as "legalized" and "advanced".
Although a vulgar online novel cannot affect society, what about a hundred, a thousand, or 10,000 novels? (Do you know how many online novels there are?) These vulgar novels are becoming more and more rampant, and when taken together, can they affect the social atmosphere? Can a large number of literary works with incorrect views affect the values and aesthetic judgments of a person or even a generation? Are minors, the main audience of online literature, more susceptible to adverse influences?
Right and wrong, good and evil, good and bad, beautiful and ugly, true and false, although they are all relative, but in the hearts of each of us, there should be a ruler as the basis for measurement———— which is not only the law of a person's life in the world, but also the objective embodiment of a person's values and outlook on life. Ideological progress is of course good, but thinking that is too radical, paranoid, and distorted is definitely not a good thing. Let's take a look at the self-righteous "advanced culture" of those Internet writers who have been blocked!
"Advanced culture?" Those online Tanmei novels with incorrect views once sounded the "banner" of "freedom, equality and progress", looking for a theoretical basis for their vulgar creations, and even in order to cater to the needs of the market and the "cool points" of homosexuality, they vigorously promoted and vigorously advocated them, eager to turn everyone into a peer lover, this is advanced culture? Could it be that advanced culture encourages homosexuality to replace bisexuality, obliterate the old concept of procreation, make homosexuality a popular aesthetic standard, prevent men and women from reproducing, and interrupt human civilization?
"Advanced Culture?" Although those novels of "systematic flow", "crossing flow", "rebirth flow", and "infinite flow" are too outrageous, they are not worth making a fuss about when they are read with an attitude of entertainment, but why should the writers of novels with three wrong views represented by "dark streams" challenge the bottom line of morality? Most of them do not use darkness to satirize reality, nor do they describe the struggle of human nature in front of darkness, and contrast the helplessness and sorrow of the protagonists, so as to metaphorize this "cannibalistic society," but purely "justify" evil"Universalization", "Legalization", madness, tyranny, pathology, evil is justice, distorts human nature, and endangers society, is this advanced culture? Is advanced culture the destruction of all kinds of beautiful things in our consciousness one by one, making people doubt and despair about themselves, society, and even the whole world? Why can't such novels be banned?
"Advanced culture?" Those online martial arts novels with incorrect views, in order to cater to the "cool point" of middle school students, kill people, set fires and rape in the books at will, all kinds of YY, and finally the traitors and evildoers gain fame and fortune, live for the rest of their lives, and take all the benefits, while the good people are all dead, preaching the values of "good is rewarded with evil, and evil is rewarded with good", this is advanced culture? Is advanced culture encouraging people to "don't take evil as small and don't do it with good" Why can't such novels be blocked? (Don't use satirical literature to defend them, but look at the martial arts novels they wrote.) )
"Advanced Culture?" Those historical novels with incorrect views on the three views tamper with history at every turn, and form articles with laughter and scolding, all of which are based on their own devices, and it turns out that history is up to him and can be played with at will? Moreover, those historical novels with incorrect views vigorously exaggerate ethnic contradictions, not to mention the "theory of racial superiority and inferiority," and in their tone, they regard the Han people's aggression against the Han nationalities in the Tang Dynasty as a kind of deference, but regard the aggression of the Han people by the minority nationalities in the Song Dynasty as a kind of barbarism, disrespect, slander, and insult. I would like to ask whether this kind of thinking is "backward" or "advanced"? Is this advanced culture? Is it true that advanced culture arbitrarily falsifies history, blindly creates non-existent dynasties (alternate history), and propagates racial superiority and inferiority? Why can't such novels be banned?
"Advanced culture?" Those online fantasy novels with incorrect views first expose fiction, YY has no bottom line, pretend to upgrade and fight monsters, deliberately challenge and attack the real things in life, so as to create a certain "real or inevitable" illusion for readers, and then start the next step, abandon the theme, dismantle the center and the periphery in a fragmented, gamified, and sensory way, and repeatedly create a kind of "uncertain background, the world is dangerous" through overhead means and changing scenes In the process of adventure and cultivation, "intentionally or unintentionally" filled with a large amount of pornographic content, and even the suppression of female consciousness is particularly serious, and finally continues to use fantasy and otherworldly continents to shatter reality and deconstruct positive values as the ultimate goal, refreshing the reader's three views, and making the juvenile group fall into a state of confusion or inextricability, which is advanced culture? Could it be that advanced culture emphasizes the inferiority of men and women, and takes the ultimate goal of shattering reality and deconstructing positive values, emphasizing that everyone lives in a very dangerous illusion, and everyone should escape from reality, find another world, strive to cultivate immortals, live forever, and live in a virtual that does not exist, causing social panic and the main body to be lost? What is the essential difference between this dog day and ***! Why can't such novels be banned?
Again, of course, a vulgar online novel cannot affect society, but what about a hundred, a thousand, a thousand, or a hundred thousand? (Do you know how many online novels there are?) These vulgar novels are becoming more and more rampant, and when taken together, can they affect the social atmosphere? Can a large number of literary works with incorrect views affect the values and aesthetic judgments of a person or even a generation? Are minors, the main audience of online literature, more susceptible to adverse influences?
How dark are the hearts of those angry young people who oppose censorship and rectification of vulgar online novels, and once defended them under the guise of "freedom of thought"?
Literature can be poorly written, but at least there must be a bottom line. Those online novels that promote "pornography, gambling, and drugs", "homosexuality replaces bisexuality", "evil is justice", "distort human nature", "good is rewarded with evil, and evil is rewarded with good, trying to deconstruct positive values", "falsifying history", "theory of racial superiority and inferiority", "escaping from reality, and cultivating immortals for all", and blindly challenge the dignity of the law and the bottom line of morality. (What I am referring to above is only some online novels with incorrect views, not all online works.) )
"Literary and artistic workers should guide people with correct public opinion, shape people with noble spirits, and inspire people with excellent works. This may sound cheesy, but it seems to make a lot of sense. I would also like to add that this large-scale censorship rectification is not aimed at online literature, but at those online writers who have incorrect views, as well as vulgar readers. Because novels are written by people, novels are written for people to read, and it is precisely because of the existence of these vulgar writers and readers that pulp fiction will be produced and sold.
Three.
Of course, novels can write things that are "vulgar", "violent", "boring", "aesthetically deviant", "incorrect", and "anti-mainstream". No one wants all web novels to be as noble and simple as "Little Women" and "The Death of the Archbishop", and it would be a literary tragedy if all the writers in the world were like "Louisa May Alcott" and "Villa Cather".
Writers can even write about "vulgar, violent, boring, aesthetic deviations, incorrect views, and anti-mainstream" throughout the text, but how to present it, how to express it, and whether the impact on society is positive or negative, that is a matter of creative level:
Jia Baoyu, the protagonist of "Dream of Red Mansions", is homosexual; Radcliffe Hall is gay, and her "The Abyss of Loneliness" is even regarded as "the bible of lesbians"; Angus Wilson's "Hemlock and After" candidly depicts the living conditions of gay men in Britain after World War II and explores the boundaries of social civilization and individual freedom; James Baldwin's "Another Country" attempts to reflect race relations in the real American society through complex "sexual orientation"; Junichiro Tanizaki's "Swastika" , with suffocating, even crazy Tanmei demonism, presenting "defeated German love...... These literary works have a lot of content about homosexuality, but who can erase their artistic and social value? These great writers, with their amazing wisdom and keen insight, expounded new ideas, not only did not get banned, but triggered social reflection - it can be seen that Tanmei novels can be written, the question is whether you are sure of its ability. Tanmei art will never be vulgar because of the word "Tanmei", but because those writers and readers who have incorrect views are to blame for themselves, which arouses public anger, so that everyone has some prejudices about this kind of theme.
American writer Nathaniel West, in "The Day of the Locust", strongly depicts the process of a woman's nudity, starting from her wearing a set of green silk pajamas until she takes off naked; Kawabata Yasunari won the Nobel Prize for Literature for "Snow Country", and the book even uses prostitution as the main story line; "The Catcher in the Rye" also confronts the plot of middle school student Holden looking for a prostitute; Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng's "Golden Vase Plum" In his most famous novel "The Book of Life", Li Peifu, winner of the Mao Dun Literature Award, also has university teacher Wu Zhipeng's sexual fantasies and sexual implementation of female student Umemura; Haruki Murakami's "No" actually uses "sex" and "death" and ties to present the confusion of Toru Watanabe, Naoko, Reiko Ishida and others, reflecting that at that time, "Japanese society has caused a serious imbalance in people's spiritual world due to the abundance of material life and the expansion of desires...... These great novelists, in their own unique way, with delicate emotions and reflecting the instinctive and proper desires of human beings, were not only not banned, but were included in the world's famous books and advocated reading -- it can be seen that pornography can be written, and the question is whether you are sure of its ability. Aesthetic art will never be vulgar because of the word "desire", but because those writers and readers who have incorrect views are inspired to be black sheep, so that noble things become vulgar.
Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck has portrayed a series of criminal characters, in "Pancake Ping", he wrote a group of shameless homeless people, causing trouble everywhere, fighting and going to prison; in "Golden Cup", the protagonist Henry slaughtered the city for a woman, which can almost be said to be "the embodiment of crime"; the "heroes" in "Water Margin" killed people and set fires, which is needless to say...... These works have a lot of things about "madness", "tyranny", and "pathology", but who can erase their literary and social value? These great writers, on the contrary, reflect the stains in human nature in a clever way, not only are they not banned, but they like to hear about them—which shows that violence can be written, the question is whether you are sure of its ability. Wildness is the most primitive emotion of human beings, because human beings evolved from animals. But how can those writers and readers who have incorrect views not be outrageous if they have to evolve the "wildness" of human beings into "animal nature"?
In "Dream of Red Mansions", Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen commit adultery; Mo Yan's "Fat Breasts and Fat Buttocks" is not only politically almost reactionary, but also morally flattering; Stendhal's "Red and Black" emphasizes the process of a teenager seducing other people's wives, Guan Hanqing's "Dou E's Injustice" and Lao She's "Camel Xiangzi...... These great writers have used their grasp of human nature and the world, metaphorizing the "sorrow of the times" and awakening the light in people's hearts. Every age has a dark side, but the light never compromises to the darkness. Even if the writers and readers with the wrong views do everything they can to take revenge on society, they will never succeed.
Greek mythology, the source of Western civilization, Tang Dynasty legends, gods and ghosts, novels, Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", there are countless demons and monsters, Tang Xianzu's "Peony Pavilion", Du Liniang's rebirth, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Huainanzi", and "Youyang Miscellaneous", which is not a surreal work...... There are too many bizarre places in these works, but who can erase their artistic and social value? These great writers, using their own unbridled imagination and resentment that "everything is not equal, will sing", reflect on life, write chapters, and leave a strong mark in the history of literature, not only have they not been banned, but are regarded as "treasures of human art" -- it can be seen that the contents of demons and monsters, otherworldly continents, and fantasy fairies can be written, and the question is whether you are sure of its ability. Those writers and readers who have incorrect views blindly promote negative energy, advocate escaping reality, and everyone has to live in a virtual that does not exist, causing panic and confusion, emphasizing the cultivation of immortals, immortality, and even trying to deconstruct a normal person's values and outlook on life, how can such behavior not be spurned?
Therefore, it is completely possible to write things that are "vulgar, violent, uninteresting, aesthetically deviant, incorrect, and anti-mainstream" in the novel, but it depends on how it is expressed. Those online writers who have been banned, and the readers who pursue them, please don't be proud of your incompetence and ignorance, don't be proud of your "depraved aesthetics", and don't regard your inferior behavior as a kind of "courage to challenge the world."
Four.
That's right, this time it is not vulgar online novels that are censored and rectified, but a group of vulgar Internet writers and readers; it is not the ideology that is "imprisoned", but those who disseminate vulgar thoughts; and the suppression is not culture, but those angry youths who hold high the banner of "freedom and democracy" but are propagating vulgar culture.
I'm a small person, we're all small people, maybe we can't do anything big. It doesn't matter, even if we can't contribute light and heat to society, we must not become the kind of angry youth who endanger society, waive the banner of "progress", blindly defend vulgar online novels, and poison other people's thoughts!
