Also on lofty "Qing" refers to innocence and integrity, and also implies indifference to the secular world and purity of mind, while "Gao" refers to loneliness and narcissism. The ancient people's criterion for evaluating lofty is that no noble or rich person can get the name of lofty, and besides, extraordinary talents are needed. A lofty word makes countless talented people disappear and immune to chaos and darkness. They didn't use their own light and heat to warm others and illuminate the world. They just amuse themselves with poems, paralyze themselves, make themselves forget the gloomy time around them, and masturbate with "Yu Liu Yin's back eaves, Li Tao Luo tang qian", which is called lofty. It's really puzzling. If the imperial examination hall is nameless, or the official career is not smooth, those ancient literati shouted "Oh, how can I solemnly bow and scrape to the senior official Hou Lu" and "stay in the cage for a long time, return to the original" to show lofty. In my opinion, this is just a sign of cowardice and a self-deception idea. It is undeniable that everyone has dreams and is eager to make contributions, and so are ancient literati. However, some people's ideals have been hit by reality, so they give up their pursuit and the world they once loved, and live a quiet personal life in seclusion in the countryside. These people are called noble people. Others run for their own ideals. Repeated blows have tempered their minds and polished their eyes, making them shout for the people and struggle for the nation. They are not lofty, but they live a more meaningful and valuable life than those who are lofty. Lofty is just a synonym for cowardice, an excuse to be afraid of reality and escape from it, and an excuse not to fight for it. What China needs is not a lofty person who lives in seclusion, but a steel skeleton that "a kitchen knife can kill people in a hurry"; What is needed is not a "recluse" who delights in writing and rejects people with wine, but a warm-blooded heart who takes a pen as a knife, criticizes the shortcomings of the times and dares to "point the way"; What we need is not noble people who hide their light and heat and keep their hearts lonely, but powerful soldiers who dare to burn themselves in the dark ... In today's China literary world, where masculinity is increasingly lacking and feminine beauty has become the aesthetic standard of the public, we need more non-noble people, with their blood and passion, to guide people to seek real ideals.
