What is a poet?

A poet is a sage, a riddle, and a superior person.

Anyway, not a normal person.

So how to become a poet, you must not treat yourself as a normal person.

Wang Shifeng's mini-game lasted for ten minutes, with more than a hundred participants on the spot. The final winner was a boy who seemed to be very good at studying.

Under the applause, the acne on the boy's face seemed to be a little flushed.

"I'd like to ask Mr. Xiao Wang. Compared with a series of poems such as Feihualing, this cutting-edge text game does not have much difference or advantage. It can really achieve the interaction you mentioned before and arouse more people's interest in poetry and literature?"

Luo Siyao was not arguing this time, but was really curious to ask questions.

"There is no difference in form, and it is essentially the difference between threshold and freedom." Wang Shifeng smiled. "Just like today's theme, cultural confidence, first of all, we must let everyone understand the meaning of confidence,

The essence of self-confidence is "I think I am good". It does not have to be too extreme and will not be affected by objective factors. It is self-confidence. In this state, the main one with decision-making power is "I".

Although Feihua Ling is also a word game, there are some complex objective factors hidden in it, such as the framework of the rules is limited to poems containing a certain word.

However, this rule itself will cause objective unfairness, because the stock of poetry that everyone is involved in is different, and will basically be influenced by their own subjective orientation, such as the poem with the "flower" in the poem,

Some people don’t like poems with flowers, so the stock of the word “flower” is naturally small. After all, the human brain is not a computer, and can be stored and partitioned accurately. In this kind of gaming environment, a difference in mentality will be generated to affect self-confidence.

And simply memorizing mainly tests the memory methods and talents of the human brain. Being knowledgeable and strong memorizing is a kind of ability, but not a kind of self-confidence. Instead, it will produce a sense of alienation and superiority. In the end, I remember more poems, and I am better than you.

So we must first distinguish the difference between self-confidence and superiority. Even if these two states are very similar, their essence is completely different. Self-confidence is 'I think I'm good', and superiority is 'I think I'm better than you'. Can Professor Luo understand this? "

Luo Siyao frowned. To be honest, as a liberal arts student, it is not difficult to be chewy about words, but he still doesn't understand the difference between the two.

Why is it not that we can count our ability to memorize, but that kind of ability to calculate your combing?

"Then let me say that, Professor Luo, what do you think the purpose of the game is?" Wang Shifeng smiled.

"It's entertainment and relaxation." Luo Siyao frowned.

"Wrong, it's winning or losing." Wang Shifeng smiled slightly.

The audience was in an uproar.

Wow, Teacher Wang is really real in the world, hitting the nail on the head.

If the game is not for winning or losing, what's the point?

What kind of game can be lost? Timo must die, but it is just an excuse for the loser!

Just do it!

This is the attitude of most people towards games, just like watching the Olympics. Although they say that friendship is the first and competition is the second, the number of gold medals is still the only criterion for everyone to measure.

There is no way, because the game is a competitive form.

Luo Siyao was also a little silenced, feeling that Wang Shifeng's value orientation was somewhat problematic.

"Under a perfect rule, the winning criterion is easy to determine, so in games like Feihualing, the winner can enjoy special advantages,

However, the failure of others may not be really inferior to that of others. It may be that they are simply not good at prescribed questions, but in this state, it will greatly undermine the confidence of participants.

Therefore, this kind of game is only suitable for literary enthusiasts who have already started, and is a person with similar orientations. It is not suitable for the public or passers-by, and naturally reduces the number of participants.

However, the lyrics are written without rules, because the criteria for victory and loss are vague, and there is even no winner. Although the little brother received the last one, it proved that the reserve of poetry is very good.

However, other participants may not necessarily regard him as a winner. And the important thing is that others who have not participated in this game will subconsciously arise. I can also do it. Can Professor Luo clearly distinguish the gap now?"

Luo Siyao was still pondering, but the billions of viewers figured it out behind the screen.

During the ten minutes of the solo, many viewers subconsciously had this idea, especially when there were fewer and fewer people, they wanted to get into the screen and participate in the interaction.

Indeed, who hasn't memorized a few ancient poems?

Isn’t it just that anyone has memorized more poems? That’s not just taking some time?

In the past, the Poetry Conference also had a flying flower order. Every time I watched the young people on the stage recite poems like beans, the audience would feel a sense of awe.

Especially when seeing some teenage prodigy, they will feel self-deprecating and inferior when they live to the dogs at the age, but will not arouse the urge to participate in the game.

But today is different. After today's succession session, the young man who won the finale did not make them feel inferior or awe.

Instead, I felt a sense of resentment, thinking that if I had this opportunity in the future, I could recite a few poems in advance and put them together, and I could also pretend to be a comparison on the spot, without even feeling embarrassed to open my mouth when I encountered unpopular words in the game like Feihualing before.

This feeling is like a group of friends singing on KTV. Although you are not fully tuned, you can sing a few lines of each song. Although you don’t sing a song in the whole show, you still feel very happy and will not feel inferior because of being excluded or being incomplete.

"The key is participation." Liang Feifan made a summary in a timely manner.

Many viewers who were as entangled as Luo Siyao suddenly realized.

"Mr. Liang said it is right. The basis of interaction is participation. If there is no participation, interaction has no meaning, especially in the subjective field of culture. The truth is that there is no first in literature.

Li Bai's poems are indeed beautiful in the world, but for those who follow reality, Li Bai is much worse than Du Fu, Wang Wei and Bai Juyi's pragmatic realm.

There is no right or wrong between the two views, no high or low, only differences. This is the subjectivity of literature and a way to maintain vitality. Therefore, when we cultivate everyone's cultural confidence,

The first thing to do is to let more people participate and slowly form confident cognition, rather than setting cognitive standards first and letting people take a detour." Wang Shifeng smiled slightly.

The audience burst into applause again.

It’s not necessarily that they really understood what Wang Shifeng was saying.

It may also be simply against authority and superiority.

"I think the logic of quantitative change in the field of qualitative change may not be tenable in literature or culture. Whether you admit it or not, talent is the basis for determining literature and culture. It is cruel and realistic."

Luo Siyao felt that he should learn from Wang Shifeng and also gave some exciting and true views.

But it was obvious that he ignored a serious problem.

Not all truth can be accepted by the general public.

Just like this "elite theory" truth, it is indeed an objective fact, and the progress of this world or civilization is driven by a few awakened people.

However, this view is unacceptable to the general public.

In an instant, everyone frowned at Luo Siyao.

"Well, what Professor Luo said makes sense." Wang Shifeng was also a little surprised that Luo Siyao said so surprisingly, and then smiled and said with a smile.

"However, quantitative change may not be in line with the cultural field, but quantitative change can produce industries. The industry is an incentive mechanism that can drive consumption to produce a positive cycle.

Under this mechanism, the industry and the market will spontaneously generate demand, and will burst into unexpected surprises and vitality."

"What do you mean? Are you going to secularize the literary market?" Luo Siyao widened his eyes and felt extremely shocked.

"Well, writers also have to have dinner, and poets also have to be officials." Wang Shifeng touched his nose.

In fact, he can refute it more toughly. Exposing the great writers in most people's eyes is actually just treating creation as a way and tool to achieve some secular purpose.

For example, poetry is mainly used to deal with the tools to attract popularity in exams, and to show off one's own erudition and ideas. Songs serve the authority of the ruling class.

However, if you refute this way, it will indeed attract a large number of opposition and doubt. Although it can be a temporary opportunity, it will not benefit the subsequent development.

Wang Shifeng is already used to boiling frogs in warm water.

"Cultivating morality, sayings and making contributions is the behavior of a saint, and there is no problem with secularization of ordinary people." Liang Feifan spoke first and blocked Luo Siyao's mouth.

After saying that, Luo Siyao's eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of disbelief.

The audience was also very shocked.

To be honest, from all people, they have accepted a subtle concept that culture is an elegant thing and the sacredness of the soul.

Therefore, humans have special filters for intellectuals.

But now there is a big man who can be called the ceiling of an intellectual. When he publicly says that knowledge can also secularize this theory, it is indeed like thunder...

For a moment, the whole audience was silent.

Wang Shifeng also looked at Liang Feifan in a silence.

He said these words with a purpose, just to desensitize the audience, because too many people are allergic to them now and need treatment.

But Wang Shifeng just dared to use a knife and slow medicine, and to test it subtly bit by bit.

But Liang Feifan's words were like a dose of strong medicine that was poured directly into the mouth of the dying person. What was he going to do?

Don't destroy or establish?

"What? Are you not convinced?" Liang Feifan looked at Luo Siyao with a smile.

Luo Siyao's temples were beating, and the expression on his face was also a little stiff.

"Ha, Mr. Liang means that a gentleman is not a tool. Whether it is knowledge or culture, it is a tool that will produce different effects in the hands of suitable people.

Professor Luo has said a point of view before that is to the point. Indeed, most ordinary people have no need for literature, but the premise of interaction is not literary demands, but social and show-off needs." Wang Shifeng smiled and said very elegantly.

Everyone knows that he is forcibly changing the topic.

But I have to say that the transfer was very successful.

Because everyone can understand it, this sentence is translated into.

'People can be uneducated, but they cannot give up pretending to be comparing.'

In order to pretend, humans can do a lot of things they are unwilling to do.
