Some people have been doing useful things all their lives, but the facts are worthless all their lives; Some people want to do things that are useless all their lives, but what they leave behind is of infinite use to future generations. Even if that big tree is really worthless, at least it can give people shelter and is "useful" in itself.
Wang, the "first master in Beijing", was born in a famous family, but he was addicted to flying pigeons, raising oysters, driving eagles, running dogs, making love, cooking and other insect carving skills, and played with culture and interest. The reason why the Dutch prince awarded him the highest honor of Prince Klaus Award in 2003 was that without him, a part of China culture would have been buried for a long time.
Striving for the upper reaches is naturally beneficial to everyone, otherwise there will be no economic miracle for more than 30 years. However, useful learning dominates everything, and successful learning has become the main theme of the times, which makes today's society like a typical "angry" society: the desire in the heart is too strong, the steps are too big, and the movements are inevitably deformed. The so-called "taking too many steps is mostly bullshit" is also true.
When the human body gets angry, drinking herbal tea can remove the fire. When the society is on fire, it also needs a prescription that can clear the heart and reduce the fire: do something useless and care about something that has nothing to do with yourself. The former purifies the mind, relieves anxiety and reconciles with oneself; The latter detoxifies, digests social rage and reaches a settlement with society.
It is no exaggeration to say that China's parents are the most utilitarian parents in the world. The early education economy, school districts and Olympic math classes have even become a part of the huge "education economy". China's parents, who live in it, are "tiger mothers" in the eyes of outsiders and "child slaves" in their own hearts, but not people inside and outside.
/kloc-Rousseau, a Frenchman in the 0 th and 8 th centuries, said: "It is natural to hope that children will look like children before they reach adulthood. If this order is disrupted, it will cause some premature fruits, which are neither full nor sweet, and will soon rot; We will create some young doctors and older children. "
Another love said, "What's the use?" As a mantra, some mayors in China. In the face of "useful things" such as real estate development and GDP figures, historical blocks and cultural protection are really "useless things", which can't bring any GDP growth, official promotion or so-called "urban vanity". Therefore, the cultural circles are sighing for the loss of Beijing's ancient city walls, and Kaifeng in the Seven Dynasties had to excavate the ancient city walls to build expressways. Nanjing, the "ancient capital of ten dynasties", also intends to raze the ancient city of Jinling through the "urban reconstruction" project. It is said that many cities in China are planning to move their universities to the suburbs to make room for real estate in the city center. However, this is tantamount to stripping our spiritual and cultural thoughts from the body. Can we think about it? What can we gain by cutting down that "useless" tree under the green forest where thousands of troops can hide?
