The hottest topic in the entertainment industry: Canadian artist Wu Yifan is suspected of committing a crime**.
The artist's violation of the law should have brought cheers for justice, but the inappropriate remarks of Wu Yifan's fans are thought-provoking. Star chasing and idol worship have existed since ancient times, and emotions are understandable, but in ancient times when information was backward, how did our ancestors chase stars?
Although the word "little fresh meat" is used to describe those young actors whose business level is not necessarily good, but who can win a large number of fans with their handsome appearance, in the ancient Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties periods, people's fanatical pursuit of appearance also existed, and also left two allusions to chasing stars.
Pan An, the most prestigious beautiful man in history, is revered as synonymous with "looks like Pan An". Living in the Western Jin Dynasty, he was known for his personable demeanor and handsome face.
However, the information transmission system at that time was not developed, and most people knew little about Pan An's true face, which aroused their strong curiosity. When the news of Pan An's planned trip to Luoyang City came out, the people of Luoyang City were all looking forward to it, and they waited on both sides of the avenue, just to witness the demeanor of this peerless beautiful man.
The shocking power of Pan An's beauty made many female fans fall in love with it, and even did not hesitate to throw fruits to express their love. In ancient times, fruits symbolized youth and beauty, just as people now use flowers to describe beauty.
Although Pan An suffered a lot from such enthusiasm, the story of "Throwing Fruit and Winning Cars" is still praised by people, which fully shows that the enthusiasm of the ancients for chasing stars is not much different from now.
Wei Jue, another handsome and beautiful man in the Western Jin Dynasty, was also enthusiastically sought after by people for his appearance. His ** fair-skinned, delicate facial features, known as "Biren".
However, his fate was very different from that of Pan An. Despite his belovedness, his life ended in tragedy, which is a sight to behold.
Wei Jue and Pan An's appearance made them have a large number of "fans", and caused quite a stir in the capital. However, their influence has been greatly limited, and their fame is definitely not "top-notch".
In ancient Chinese history, there are not many people who can be called top idols, and the most well-known of them is the poet immortal Li Bai.
During the Tang Dynasty, the development of Chinese poetry reached a new peak, and poetry became an indispensable part of the literati, and Li Bai gained great prestige and was highly sought after by the literati for his talent.
Among them, the poet saint Du Fu admired Li Bai even more, and wrote many poems for Li Bai in his life, but it did not seem to attract Li Bai's attention. Among Li Bai's many fans, the most famous is Wang Lun.
Although there are no outstanding deeds in history, he still mentioned in his letter that "ten miles of peach blossoms, ten thousand restaurants" in order to invite Li Bai to his hometown. But after Li Bai arrived, he found that the peach blossom of ten miles was just a peach blossom pond outside the village, and the restaurant opened by the shopkeeper surnamed Wan, Wang Lun was enthusiastic, accompanied Li Bai to play in the mountains and rivers, and gave him valuable property when he parted.
Li Bai Hotel got acquainted with Wang Lun, and his affection and kindness were all in "Gift to Wang Lun". Although Wang Lun's status as a fan of Li Bai is commendable, if he wants to see Li Bai, he may need to pay huge financial resources and energy.
Wei Hao, a big fan of Li Bai, has a soft spot for Li Bai and his works, and is always looking for opportunities to meet his idol. Despite the inconvenience of information, he still persistently tracked Li Bai's whereabouts, and finally met Li Bai in Guangling.
His journey to stargazing was full of challenges, but he persevered in his beliefs until his dreams came true.
Li Bai was full of genius, Wei Hao was deeply admired, and the two became friends for the year. When parting, Li Bai entrusted Wei Hao, hoping that he could help him organize his collection and take care of his children and grandchildren, and this good story has been passed down to this day.
This shows that Li Bai's talent and conduct have had a positive impact on his followers. Some of today's "traffic stars" should learn from his spirit. Liu Yong, a lyricist in the Northern Song Dynasty, had a profound impact on the world of poetry with his outstanding literary talents.
However, he has been failing in the imperial examinations, which makes him uninterested in his career, and instead spends a lot of time in the willow alleys of Huajie, where he has a reputation for hunting for beauty.
After arriving in the capital, he became a celebrity in the green building. In order to attract more customers, the Kataka needed to learn new repertoire, and for this they needed to spend a lot of money to invite lyricists to compose music for them in order to stay competitive.
Portrait of Yoo Yong As an "old patron", Ryu Naga is familiar with the singing voice of the kaki and the hobbies of the guests, so the lyrics he composes are always the most popular. Yanaga's willingness to compose lyrics for the kakuna, sometimes for no fee, made him highly regarded in the kaki industry, and the willingness of the kashiki to use their own money to help the down-and-out Yanaga became a great anecdote at the time.
Although some people believe that after Yanaga's death, the kataka would soon forget about him because they had lost their usefulness to him, every year during the Qingming Festival, the Kabuki of Bianjing would visit Yanaga's tomb to pay respects, a move known as the "Hanging Willow Society".
This custom later became a tradition in the kataka industry, and anyone new to the profession had to attend the Hanging Yanagi Festival to be recognized by their peers, and the custom continued until the Jingkang Disaster, more than seventy years after Yanagaga's death.
This act of the kataka made people look at them with admiration and no longer think that they were just indifferent people. And Liu Yong has also become a symbol for them, giving the kabuki profession a strong literati atmosphere.
This fully shows the depth of Yanaga's influence on the kabukis.
The splendor of ancient kabuki reveals the long history of stargazing. Since ancient times, no matter what the celebrity is, there are fans who fall for it, which is the most simple feeling of human nature, and it is understandable.
However, in today's entertainment industry, after many idols become famous, they devote all their energy to fame and fortune, despise the power of fans, and even regard fans as economic ** and harem, pushing them into the abyss of life.
Compared with Liu Yong, Li Bai and others, why can such a "star" be called a "star"? There is nothing wrong with chasing stars, but everyone who chases stars needs to have a comprehensive understanding of their idols, not only appreciate their merits, but also think about whether they can give you strength and make your life more fulfilling.
Only in this way will star chasing become more rational, and those scum in the entertainment industry like Wu Yifan will lose their space to survive.
