Information**. According to Visual China.
Recently, there have been several incidents of reporting or complaining about the decorative patterns of businesses and public places "worshipping foreign and flattering", which has caused controversy.
First, an online blogger called "War Horse Action" presumed that the red circle pattern posted by a shopping mall in Nanjing, as well as the pattern of the blooming flowers, were "widely posted and promoted Japanese culture". Second, on the evening of January 24, some netizens uploaded** that "white lanterns" with "Japanese style" appeared on Enzhou Yigu Street in Jiaozuo. Third, in early January, some netizens complained that the "Rising Sun Flag" appeared on the advertising wall of Tinghong Road Station of Nanning Metro Line 2 in Guangxi ......
These "reports", because they involve patriotic feelings and historical memory, are quickly fed back by local officials or managers. Although some officials have denied the allegations, they have always "corrected" them in order to calm the situation. However, as the incident received more and more attention, and the full picture of the pattern involved became more widely disseminated, many people not only wondered: What is this all called? Nanjing's shopping malls have only posted a few happy colors to welcome the New Year, Jiaozuo's white lanterns are the local long-inherited "Tang style", and Nanning's subway stations are posted with unique traditional Chinese elements of the sun, plum blossoms, folding fans and other decorative pictures. As the full picture spread, the allegations were increasingly criticized as absurd. Some people joked that according to this reason, all the traffic lights in China may have to be transformed.
For some time now, nothing like this has happened. In these cases, it is easy for us to find the same method: intercept the pattern or small fragments in the scene, cut it from the scene, magnify it to a high degree, and graft it in fragments, and then chase the wind and catch the shadows, infinitely correlated, and force those patterns or behaviors that are completely fine in the normal perspective to the "Japanese military flag" and "Japanese culture", and then label the other party as "pro-Japanese" or "flattering", and take advantage of the information gap that netizens are not on the scene to get a glimpse of the whole picture, and attract them to click on the post to create traffic. In the end, it will have an impact on the parties or institutions in reality.
Regardless of the motives of these so-called Internet celebrities or self-**, at least this kind of manipulation method that is detached from the facts and goes online is obviously wrong. "Jun Zhengping", CCTV, China Youth Daily and other mainstream ** spoke out in a timely manner, commenting on it as "porcelain patriotic", criticizing some people for using patriotism as a traffic password, and believing that accepting reports must return to the track of the rule of law. At present, some netizens found that the self-** account of "War Horse Operation" is no longer searchable.
Why do these so-called influencers do this? An important reason may be that the short** platform pays special attention to the specific type of account content when pushing. When more and more specific categories of content production tracks are crowded, some people think of the traffic password of "patriotism". Some of them are no longer satisfied with online discussions, but have turned to offline live broadcasts to "pick thorns" and directly intervene in people's daily lives. Some netizens found that the main body of the "War Horse Action" account has signed a contract with the Hangzhou MCN agency, and the same routine has been staged in many places before.
Expressions of simple patriotic feelings should be welcomed. If something is wrong and criticized, it is also a right and should be appreciated. However, in any case, we should not let the gaze of discovery become extremely sensitive, full of framed but indisputable gloom, and we should not absolutize our own subjective perception and impose it on society. In particular, you can't go offline with the self-righteous "sword of justice" for the sake of your own traffic, or even kidnap managers and hurt those businesses or ordinary people who do their duty. If this is done, law enforcers should really take the facts as the criterion and respond on the basis of the law, and don't think that there are really many real public opinions behind these Internet celebrities. The mainstream ** should also stand up and decisively say no to these "porcelain patriotic".
Patriotism is a simple and deep emotion, and patriotism is the core of our national spirit. But it must contain good wishes for this land, and kindness to the common people of this land. It is no exaggeration to say that if this kind of pure conjecture and chasing after the wind and shadows is allowed to become a trend, the society will be full of soldiers, rumors, and no one will have a sense of security.
A normal social atmosphere, a healthy environment and common sense are like air, which are extremely precious elements for the long-term stability of society. Who can bear to watch it be destroyed? Everyone's happiness depends on its blessing. When it doesn't exist, no one can really be left alone.
