Can Zhang Ziyi's influence exceed 10,000 books of Confucius?
Many people are puzzled by this, not understanding how a movie star can be compared to the great Confucian Confucius of history.
Surprisingly, this idea was actually put forward by Professor Zhang Yiwu of Peking University. For a while, everyone was shocked!
How could this Peking University professor make such an astonishing remark, he is a "high intellectual"!
The real purpose of Professor Zhang Yiwu's remarks is to use Zhang Ziyi's popularity to compare the decline of Confucius thought in today's society.
He believes that the influence of one Zhang Ziyi will far exceed 10,000 books related to Confucius.
This comparison is absurd in itself, how can an entertainment star be simply compared to an ancient sage?This confuses many people.
Zhang Yiwu seems to be intent on emphasizing the fact that the influence of entertainment stars in today's society has far exceeded traditional cultural values.
As a result, as soon as this remark was released, it immediately aroused heated discussions on the Internet. The vast majority of people believe that Zhang Yiwu's comparison is completely untenable and unreasonable.
There is no doubt that Confucius had a profound and significant impact on Chinese society. In contrast, Zhang Ziyi, as an entertainment star, should not be compared to Confucius at all.
However, some people hold heterogeneous views, arguing that Zhang Yiwu's views may be exaggerated, but they do reveal some worrying truths in our society, which deserve deep reflection.
In today's entertainment-oriented era, most people are more keen to understand and pay attention to idol stars than traditional culture. So much so that today's young people know far more about entertainment news than they know about traditional culture.
This is a vivid indication of the changing times and the shift in values. With the emergence of the modern social background, traditional culture has gradually declined, while the influence of entertainment stars has continued to soar.
In this context, Zhang Ziyi, as one of the representatives, naturally became the focus of public criticism. However, it is important to understand that she is only one of those individuals and should not be held responsible for all the problems of our time. Zhang Yiwu is just using her as an example of his argument.
Therefore, instead of being overly critical of a celebrity, we should think more deeply about what kind of social environment causes this deviation in cultural values.
Today's "fan culture" is becoming more and more extreme, and it is precisely because of this bias that it is worrying!
There are many stars in the entertainment industry today, and their light is dazzling, but behind all this, the seemingly enthusiastic and unrestrained fan culture hides many little-known dark sides.
In such a culture of blind obsession, many fans show an extraordinary level of madness in order to support their idols, not only spending a lot of time and money, but sometimes even sacrificing their physical and mental health.
reminds me of a concert held by TFBOYS before, due to the scarcity of tickets and many fans, many fans had to sleep on the streets for several nights in a row, braving the wind and rain, just to get a closer look at their idols.
What is distressing is that even if some fans have financial difficulties, they still spare no effort, and even give everything they have, just to be able to buy the coveted ticket.
However, the concert did not go as smoothly as expected. Fans were too dense and scrambling inside the venue, leading to unexpected chaos and *** pieces.
Many fans who really support idols have unfortunately been injured in this *** incident, and some are even seriously injured, which is very heart-wrenching.
The extreme behavior of chasing stars is no longer just a simple worship, but more like a blind and out-of-control obsession with idols.
In order to support their idols, some fans actually spent as much as 270,000 yuan to buy a large amount of yogurt, just to get a voting verification code. This kind of excesses is really thought-provoking, and it makes people wonder if these fans have lost themselves in the process of chasing stars.
Not all fans are in harmony with each other. On the web, they may get into heated arguments over their idols due to minor differences or disagreements.
Online violence is an act of attacking and slandering each other in order to pursue idols, which not only causes harm to others, but more importantly, causes damage to the hearts and minds of fans themselves.
What makes people think about the fact that fans who should be united have such a fierce conflict, and this tearing phenomenon is thought-provoking.
There has been a distortion of values within the fan base that seems to reflect a microcosm of the deviation from the broader values of society.
This star-chasing culture has a profound impact on the mental health of young people.
It has been reported that a girl who was overly obsessed with idols not only gradually deviated from her behavior, but also had suicidal thoughts.
This is a deeply worrying situation, especially for fans who are young and fiercely loyal to their idols.
For this star-chasing culture, we must have an in-depth understanding of the "vulgarity" hidden in the entertainment industry, because they may be the real reason for this cultural imbalance. Caution is required when questioning.
In recent years, the entertainment industry has frequently exposed negative news, which seems to confirm the ugly face of this circle.
Artists are often exposed to tax evasion, and the means are endless. This kind of concealment of money makes people doubt their moral bottom line.
Celebrities have been exposed to chaotic private lives, and ambiguous scandals with many people are not uncommon, which will undoubtedly damage their public image.
Some are even involved in more serious crimes, such as drug trafficking and organizing fornication. With the revelation of scandals again and again, the hypocritical appearance of the entertainment industry has gradually been revealed.
This chaotic situation in the entertainment industry is mainly due to the commercial nature of the pursuit of money and traffic, as well as the lack of personal morality of celebrities.
In the face of frequent negative news in the entertainment industry, we can't help but wonder whether these stars and idols should also shoulder more social responsibilities.
After all, they have the love and support of their fans, if they can't become a disseminator of positive energy themselves, will they fail those fans who are obsessed with admiring them?
Not every entertainment star is expected to be a role model, but in public, they should pay special attention to their words and deeds and shoulder the responsibility of guiding their fans.
It is important to understand that those teenagers who are fanatical about chasing stars will regard the words and deeds of their idols as creeds. If an idol misbehaves, it is easy to mislead fans.
The news that an idol was drugged before has undoubtedly had a bad impact on the majority of young fans. Only idols can truly demonstrate positive influence if they lead by example.
Of course, there is no excessive accusation of star-chasing and entertainment itself, but while chasing, we also need to maintain the ability to be rational and think independently.
Perhaps, combining the work of idols with self-preservation and not blindly pursuing them can bring about a more positive cultural impact.
Idols should have the spirit of responsibility, not only pursue traffic and money, but also take on the responsibility of leading the public. They should spread positive energy through concrete actions, not just on the surface of lip service.
As long as the stars of the entertainment industry can recognize this and take action, their influence will no longer be limited to negative effects, but can promote the progress of society. Of course, this will require the entire industry to work together to make it happen.
We must be soberly aware that through the various problems reflected in Professor Zhang Yiwu's remarks, the dazzling aura of the entertainment industry has covered up some shocking dark truths.
We need to reflect deeply on the negative aspects of fan culture, as well as the chaos in the entertainment industry itself.
While we pursue entertainment and relaxation, we must maintain the ability to think rationally and independently, and ensure that we do not lose ourselves.
Celebrities should be aware of their social responsibilities and spread positive energy through practical actions. Only in this way can their actions have a positive impact on society, rather than continue to sink.
